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.

That's what Wes called it. [ kanyeshrug, tig. doesn't matter if you don't know who that is, she knows. that's the important part. ] He's a tightass Brit, good call on the tea.

[ tig you're twelve kinds of interesting, faith is js. ] Sounds about my speed, too. [ a beat. ] Nice ink. Kinda familiar, like... [ she snaps her fingers, grinning. ] Like Prospect's— sons of whatever the fuck, right?

[ she means jax. ]

[ his eyebrows shoot up, shocked for a few seconds before they drop back down, furrowed. tara had said that jax was here after all, he didn't need to look so damn surprised but even so. ]

Sons of fucking whatever, you're absolutely correct. Or at least that's the club name they'd give me if they could. [ he probably should be thinking about grabbing a towel right around now but a few seconds of looking and he gives up.

whatever.
] You could try anarchy. That's the actual club.

Cute. [ whether she means tig's sexually non-judgmental habits or the club's actual handle is up for grabs, but the leering, dirty edge to her grin really could swing either way on it. ] I mean, it kinda sounds like a boy band, but whatever gets you guys goin'.

[ faith wrote the book on needling people for fun and profit lbr

and after a beat, because needling or not she does like jax— and hell, if he scoped wes and didn't send him her way, it'd piss her off. ]


You want his number?

Nah, i'm good. Don't need- [ the little shit's ] - his number just yet. I'll get by without it, know how to find him if I need him.

[ he shrugs, casual, unbothered by the whole deal of being picked at. of needing to find jax. because getting a hold of the kid really isn't at the top of his list of shit to take care of. even if that's exactly where it should be - chatting with a brother.

he'll get to that in a second or two.
]

An i'll have you know that we'd make the best boy band around.
