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.

[ That's... That's stretching the boundaries of what she can believe. But it would make Marty's calm make sense -- if he'd come in just now too he'd probably be just as freaked out as she is, wouldn't he? And he knows so much about this place already... Plus why would he lie? ]

Oooookay. Okay, let me get this straight. We're on a spaceship somewhere in outer space. I was here once before a few months ago, but don't remember it, and you've been here for almost a year. Is there anything I'm missing?

[.....]

A lot of stuff. Mostly the sub-category stuff that involves creepy messages and malfunctioning spaceships and pirates n' all sorts of crazy facility-looking shit.

But. Yeah. That's a decent outline.

...okay, I need you to fill me in completely. Like, now.

[ Except it is right then that dana's legs decide to give out, and she stumbles into Marty, momentarily too dizzy to hold herself up or open her eyes or do anything except grit her teeth and hope she doesn't throw up all over her best friend.

After she's gotten her legs beneath her again, she takes a deep breath and straightens, smiling wryly at Marty.

Okay, first sleep, then explanations.

[He helps keep her upright, and when she smiles up at him, he smiles back sympathetically.]

Yeah. You wanna crash in my other bed today? Kind of a lot going on to be sleeping by yourself. I mean, my pad smells like weed, but that just comes with the territory, y'know?

[ Marty's good at that -- keeping Dana on her feet when she feels like she'd collapse otherwise. He was all that kept her going at the end back at the cabin, and it figures he'd be keeping up that trend here. ]

Marty, unless you actively don't want me to stay with you, I'm not going to leave your side for at least a week.

[ Call Dana clingy if you like; she doesn't really care. All she cares about is that Marty is here, and he's safe, and if one of them could be going back home any moment... She's not letting him out of her sight if she doesn't have to. ]

[He squeezes her wrist, supportive.

Well. He'd give her his room and the gnarly clothes off his back, if it'd make her feel better about how shitty their lives are. As it is, though, he can defintiely give her this one.]


Then lets go, amiga. You need a little R&R.
