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.

Honestly, I'm surprised I'm still here too but it's not like there is anything that tells us why it keeps certain people here longer than others or makes them leave.

Yeah, I know. [ Which is...a really good point. He hates her for making it. ] I wish I knew how to figure it out though.

Yeah. Though I guess it's just another one of the mysteries about this place— it never makes figuring out things like that easy.

Not a lot of things are. [ He just wants to bang his head on the wall. ] Anyway, uh. You look good, I guess. Staying busy?

Yeah, I've been trying to— well as much as one can in this place.

Sounds about right. [ A hand through his hair, and he's sort of staring at the other. Looks like it might be bad. ] Got any plans later? Wanna do something?

[Emily plays up her reaction just enough that she looks surprised by his offer but despite that, she does actually consider it though] None at the moment. Did you have something in mind?

Maybe a drink. I could use one of those right now. [ Even if she's not genuinely surprised, he doesn't notice. He's so distracted. ] If you're into that.

[Emily just shrugs, she is just going along with it for now anyway] Yeah, sure we could do that.
