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.

I'm not sure if he's hungry or just angry at me. Sometimes I worry that he thinks I'm keeping him here on purpose.

[On cue, Buttercup gives off a pathetic sounding meow before hissing at the stranger's face. Prim looks mortified that her cat is behaving this way in front of a perfectly nice stranger. It's awful, really.]

I normally do feed him right after we wake up, but he's not always like this. He usually only whines a little. Not ever this much. [She reaches up to put a hand on his shoulder as a silent warning that maybe kneeling in front of the locker's not such a great idea.]

[Mike leans back just a little, smiling over at Primrose before looking back at the cat.] Little guy's a fighter.

[But he does listen to the fact that the cat seems to be acting differently this time around. So what's different?]

Anything different this time around? Something he ate before?

[She bites at her lip, shrugging. She feels ashamed that she doesn't know what's wrong with him, that she's not completely in tune with Buttercup like she is back in Panem. Tears form in her eyes and she reaches up to wipe them away.]

I'm not sure. I think being here is just starting to get to him. He wants to go back home, but we can't. We can't go back. Not until whoever is in charge lets us.

[She glances past Mike and into her locker, to stare at Buttercup. The cat seems to calm down some, leaving Prim to give a firm nod of her head. Good, they're making some progress.]
countermand: (Conner you're alright frown.)

[Mike nods, watching the cat with some measure of sympathy. After all, he himself's only been there for maybe an hour max and he's not the biggest fan. Turning, he notices just a bit of that extra water in her eyes, so he turns to face her fully again.]

Hey, everything's gonna be okay. Little guy seems pretty tough.
