EVENT: CULTURAL STUDIES ▒ THE TRANQUILITY

[ataraxites]

CHARACTERS: Ensemble production!
LOCATION: The newly discovered corridor, Prisoners' Quarters and Guards' Bunkhouse.
WARNINGS: A vague sense of creeping unease.
SUMMARY: Discovery and exploration of the Prisoners' Quarters and Guards' Bunkhouse.
NOTES: Open to all! Network map discovery is HERE. Bunkhouse discovery post is HERE. Have fun forward and back-dating, but don't forget to check the timelines!

The corridor you're walking down seems to stretch on forever, but maybe that's just the gloom ever-present in the belly of the ship, only cut through by the skittering beams of the flashlights you're carrying and the dim signal on the map. The map led you here, and the map seemed to indicate there was something at the end of this journey; a new area, perhaps, more answers. Something worth the risk of stepping into the darkness. Best stay alert, strain your senses — though there will be little advantage found in the warning of claws clicking against metal in the distance, a flash of red on the wall to your right...

[Godric just shakes his head, eyes roaming the room with an alertness that contradicts his calm demeanor.]

No, there's no reason I can think of for this.

[He crouches on the floor, searching for any trace, but finds nothing.]

It's as if time has lost meaning here.

[thatsaflaregun]

Not surprising, yeah? Considering the jumps. [He shifts uncomfortably and rubs his face.] The ship's been missin' forty years. Makes you wonder how much of that time passed since we started arrivin'.

[unparental]

No, it doesn't. Nobody should be wondering that.

[ sighing, jenna raises a hand to rub at the suddenly gigantic headache pounding right between her temples. ]

Mostly because it's a little too possible-sounding.

[faderbroderson]

[Godric rises again to smile wryly at his companions.]

As much of science fiction seems to be science fact here, I'd venture to say that many things we've experienced could be explained by a distortion in time.

Unfortunately, I couldn't say what kind, or what it means for us if it's true.

[Desmond keeps rubbing his face, obviously wincing. He's heard this all before.] We're unstuck in time.

[ of the three people in this thread

only one has seen lost des why would you say that ]

No we're not, we're-- [ ...god only knows. ] We're okay, Des. Just... it's okay.

[faderbroderson]

[Godric remains silent for a long moment, looking at Jenna as if to say, "Do you truly believe that?" He looks back at Desmond, who seems increasingly distressed, and very carefully does not ask.]

We have a more immediate puzzle to solve, I think.
