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.

Then I suppose it's safe to assume that you didn't have cars or trains in the enchanted forest either. Do you have horses?

We did! Horses and carriages - but I didn't get to see cars until we were transported to Storybrooke.

Did it take long for you to adjust to a place such as Storybrooke? Considering the technology that exists there.

When I was freed from the hospital I was imprisoned in and after I regained my memories it wasn't. I just had to read my books.

[Just give her a moment.]

I see. But why would anyone want to imprison you in a hospital? Or have your memories erased?

So that I wouldn't be able to be reunited with Rumplestiltskin - he thought I was dead, so the Queen had to keep me locked away.
onsilksheets: (straight on)

[personal profile] onsilksheets 2014-01-01 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Rumplestiltskin being your boyfriend I take it. [More of a statement than a question.] The Queens seems to enjoy causing problems for all of you.

... Boyfriend? [ She doesn't know this word. ] She had her reasons, but... I think things are better now, for her. I think she's happier.

One true love? The man you're courting. [ Bela counters, thinking back to the fairytale theme. ] Well, good for her. But does it excuse what she's done to you?

[personal profile] braverys 2014-01-05 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Boyfriend. [ She pauses before she nods her head. That makes sense. ] He is my True Love so that would make him my boyfriend?

[ A moment's hesitation before she shakes her head. ]

I don't know. I never knew her very well and I don't think you can truly know someone, truly understand their heart, until you know them.

More or less, yeah. [ Bela didn't have the heart to tell her that some people dated and the person they were with wasn't their true love. But she was sweet and Bela decided to be nice. ]

What if they don't want to be known? They just hide behind a facade, never letting anyone in to see the real them?
