twenty-eighth 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: It could just be the standard sensation of air on wet skin, but if you bother to check, you might notice the steam rising from your body, barely there and gone within a minute. By the time you get to the showers, it will be clear that it's not just taking you time to adjust. The room is cold — colder than usual, but no worse than the last jump. While it's nothing dangerous, it's certainly motivation to hurry through the usual routine and get dressed quickly.



It's getting closer.





YOUR EYES ARE OPEN.

KEEP LOOKING.


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.

Pods + Lockers

Pods:

[This isn't where he should be, this place has time moving, and above all else people. He can tell that even as he gets out of the contraption, wiping at his face just in order to see but not caring that he's naked. In fact he's looking hard at the people around him, looking for signs of blond hair or blue clothing and it's really only when he remembers he's naked and around humans that he thinks up an outfit.

But that doesn't stop him from looking mildly worried as he looks around, not heading the way of everyone else but instead looking through the pods and crowd for one person in particular.

Lockers:

[After finding Sapphire and cooling back down to his normal stance on people in general, Steel has set off to find his locker. It's not home to much, but he frantically tries the box in it, just in case it's working, that it's the one box the Transients had...only to discover no, it's not. Which just makes him drop the travel chess set onto the floor, pieces scattering about as he inspects the ring instead.

He's really about as happy looking as you'd expect, line facing, even as he turns to someone, ignoring the mess he's made.

Is this all normal?

A rather subjective question, is it not? [Said half over her shoulder, before she fully turns to look at him.]
