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.

[ Without passing a beat: ]

Oh, you know. The last vestiges of my sanity.

[ To her credit, though, she does manage to turn around, peering at him over rather than through the lens of her camera. ]

One for the road?

Not sure if saying this helps at all, but it is actually real.

[at her question he just smiles before shrugging in response. wit how long he's been here, he's gotten a lot better at not being on edge around people like he would have back home] Though yeah, sure— I don't see why not.

That's what all actors and auditory-visual hallucinations say.

[ It doesn't seem to stop her from clicking the shutter. She peers at her camera, then him, then kind of squints and tips her head to the left a little. ]

Huh.

I'm not either of those— all of us here are kind of stuck in this same situation.

[he smiles when she takes the shot from her camera only to look confused at her reaction afterwards] Is something wrong?

[ Other than the fact a candid photo of him came out like a model shot because he is ridiculously good looking? ]

Well, [ Veronica starts, lifting her brows. ] I'm trying to figure out if I've seen you in a J Crew catalogue before. Modelling? Part-time bit in a soap? No?

[jay just laughs slightly at that, shaking his head] Sorry, I can't say that I have done any of those things before.
