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.

Whoa, wait-- He's a prostitute? [ October's no prude or anything and she doesn't know the circumstances, but you can't just drop something like that like it's no big deal, Alex. Come on. ]

Yeah? It's complicated.

[Alex shrugs.]

Seriously, October. It doesn't bother me. All I care about is that--that he cares. I knew that about him, getting into this.

Hey, [ she says, holding up her hands defensively (and forgetting all about her towel, though it thankfully stays put for the time being). ] I'm not judging, I just wasn't expecting that. If your happy and he's not going to end up murdering you or some shit, I don't care what he does or who he is. Seriously. [ Alex is her best friend; if this is what makes him happy, she'll support it. ]
redhotsummers: ([mutant] bit of an asshole)

Trust me, I wasn't really expecting it either.

[Alex chuckles.]

I just...I don't know. Life is too short here to get jealous over stupid shit.

[He smiles.]

Thanks October.

Don't thank me, Alex, I'm just doing my job as your best friend. Cause that's what they're for, right? Supporting you and shit? [ And October puts her friends before herself, no matter what. Seeing him happy makes her happy. ]
redhotsummers: ([a/s] cant do this without)

[personal profile] redhotsummers 2014-01-13 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [He grins.]

So yeah--just come over later, and I'll code you into my room, okay?

[ She nods. ] Definitely. [ One hand moves to his arm as she lifts onto her toes, pressing a kiss to his cheek. ] See you soon.
