twenty-sixth 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: Your average, run-of-the-mill jump—except some characters don't seem to be waking up from stasis like they should.



Don't worry.





THEY NEEDED THE REST.


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.

[....................................................

sigh.

Well fine.

He slowly begins to shimmy out of his poor shirt and jacket, and then crosses his arms over his chest like he's defending his dignity.]


... I tried hitting the button.

[JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR OKAY]

I've been — having weird luck this jump.
swedge: (snark ⇏ bitch please)

[ she watches him undress, crossing her own arms over her chest at his tone, before she ends up breaking into an almost smile. ]

And you ended up like that? [ okay, now she laughs. ] Yeah, I'd say weird. Think it's the ship?

[He sighs and shrugs. Not moving seems like a good idea right now.]

Could be. The ship can do whatever the ship wants at this point, can't it?

... Usually doesn't involve slipping and taking out a few people, or messing up a few beds in the medbay.
swedge: (snark ⇏ i'm sure they think that)

[personal profile] swedge 2013-12-28 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
No, usually involves nightmares or killing or torture.

[ sorry bro she's just really amused.

and he's still stuck in the door. ]


Wait, you took people out? Nevermind, could definitely be the ship.
