eighteenth jump;

CHARACTERS: any and all
LOCATION: Gravity Couches and beyond
WARNINGS: maybe some swearing, or even some violence, and more than likely some implied (and possibly explicit) nakedness.
SUMMARY: Another month, another jump, another round of new faces.
NOTES: Keeping up with the tradition and copy pasted like always from the last one 



You wake up in darkness.


There's a breathing tube jammed down your trachea, and you're suspended in a tube of clear blue fluid. Upon registering your level of consciousness, the gravity couch drains the fluid surrounding you and retracts the breathing apparatus; the doors in front of you open, and you're deposited on the floor of a stark, sterile medical bay.

You are not alone.

There are others who have come before you, others who are awakening beside you. Some may be familiar to you, perhaps even friends. Others have much less amiable plans. Some are merely alien and inexplicable, but there are always those who might mean you harm.

After you catch your breath and your vision returns, you notice a number on the inside of your forearm. Maybe it's a familiar number. Maybe it means something. Maybe it's just a number. But the number—completely unique to you—is a tattoo, and it does not come off.

If you enter the room adjacent to the medbay, you will find a small locker with your number on it, surrounded by rows upon rows of identical lockers. Inside, you will find a few of your personal items, a communications device, and a ship's uniform in your exact size. The comms device is fully powered and connects directly to the ship's network; it's your only means of communication beyond physical conversation. Upon turning the device on, a neutral, automated voice will say, "Please take the blue lift to the passenger quarters." Any other attempts at communicating with the rest of the network are met only with static.

This is your welcome party.

[Bran falls quiet as he listens to that, trying to make sense of it. There is corruption, that is true--corruption of people once trusted.]

Not all people.

[It is almost a question, but it is also to remind himself. There are good people in the world. He has met many aboard this ship, yes, but even in Westeros there is some good.]

Must the world end, for things to return to good?

To return to good wholly and for ever, yes. But not to return to good and peace for the most part, even for a long time. The point is that there is not an evil that can last for ever, no matter how long it has already lasted. It will come to its end whether sooner or later.

[And at that, Bran thinks of the war, of Winterfell, sacked and broken--of his father's death--of what lies beyond the Wall, which he has only glimpsed in dreams. Winter is coming--it will go, and come again, but what of the world will be left when the snows melt? Not Winterfell. Not as he knew it. And not the Starks, not as they were. Are those only small things, part of that temporary peace that does not last? Or are they evils?]

Do you really believe that? There might be some great evil-- or what if you do not know what is evil or good? You might choose wrongly. The same could happen to the world.
elvenking: (But square cut or pear shape)

It happens every day, little one. But I do know there is mercy and forgiveness for those who are misled and choose wrongly because they knew not what they did.
