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.

( trust is a concept with which ilde isn't very familiar, but that's not something she feels compelled to point out. in this instance, she doubts it's unique. still, thus far none of this is doing anything but reinforcing how much she really wants it to be a hallucination of some kind. this has to be bullshit, right? right. fuck. )

I'd remember if I dropped acid. I'm sure I would.

( ... welp. )

[ and that gets a laugh. that's... probably the funniest reaction she's ever seen anyone have to this place. ]

I'm sure you would, but I promise, this isn't a trip. It's all true. I can prove it if you want me to.

[ how exactly she plans to prove it, elena isn't sure -- vamping out right here would probably just scare the poor girl. she could whoosh behind her, but that'd be too obvious in this crowded a space. whatever, she'll figure something out. ]
