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.

[ bones hates everything: the jump log. ]

That's what everyone says and they're all filthy liars unless you're a freak of nature who is lucky enough not to get them.

[ you can't tell that lie to a doctor, it's dumb and stupid. also seriously, chucks, what are you. ]

Sorta. Ish. Color coded elevators don't mean anything map like, contrary to what you're wanting me to believe here. [ A beat. ] They're an idiot for the lack of signs, not crazy.

So I get to be either a filthy liar or a freak of nature? Ouch, and here we just met and all.

[ HE LOOKS TOTALLY WOUNDED—okay no he's terribly, terribly amused and doing an awful job of hiding it, but it helps that he has the excuse of 'looking down to tie his shoe' to keep him from laughing directly in bones' face. ]

—you must be real new, then. Trust me, the lack of signs is just symptomatic of the larger crazy at hand. [ it's said cheerfully, but if you think that means he's not serious then you're in the wrong damn sci-fi franchise. still, he hooks a thumb in the vague direction of "over there". ] But the showers are that way.

Look on the bright side, could have called you an idiot. You should be happy.

[ HE IS GOING TO SHANK YOU CHAPEL. i also want to say bless your heart in this thread. understand that. and he can still see your shoulders shake. js. ]

Nah, I'm just tricking you all by commenting about how much I hate this shit. Yeah, I'm real new. Fresh from home new. [ god he hates this shit, he knows that tone, man. ] You ain't gonna tell me they spout some diseased hallucination inducing water on me?
