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.

This is crazy.

[ In her disbelief, Veronica is still most definitely tugging on this thing, though it's at least a little more gentle than her first what-is-going-on tug. ]

Is this, like, your superpower?

[ Growing face-pubes? ]

Oh, come on, stop--

[respect this beard please. he doesn't dare try and pull away, because that would hurt even more, but he pulls a face and leans back, sort of.]

It's magic. I'm a wizard. I can do nearly anything, this is just one thing to prove it to you. And if you'd stop pulling on it, please, I'd like to make it go away 'cos it's itchy and attached to my face so, like I said, this does sort of hurt...

[ Veronica kind of— lets her hands fall away, but still stares at him like he's grown an extra head, and maybe that extra head looks like Oprah Winfrey. ]

This is crazy.

[ You've already said that, Veronica. Let's focus on the interesting, like— ]

Anything?

[ Pause. ]

So you can presto-chango get us out of here?

It's not the craziest thing you're going to see or hear, unfortunately, but glad I could kick it off for you.

[and. well. about that, we-ellllll, and here he screws up his face a little and looks away, guiltily, kicking at the floor. this might look a little stupid as, y'know, he's still got a very manly beard affixed to his face. manly bearded men aren't allowed to look so embarrassed and slightly dejected.]

I did say 'nearly anything', didn't I. So--er--no. Not that one. Sorry. This ship is generally pretty fair with my magic, but it's not keen on giving me that total escape.
