thirty-ninth 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: A feeling of deep dread greets you as you stumble out of the gravcouch, strong enough to hold you still for a long moment, searching your surroundings for the source of your wariness. Nothing becomes apparent, only your fellow passengers waking up. Eventually you gather the resolve to pick yourself up and start moving, the feeling fading slowly as you progress through routine.
New arrivals will find messages spraypainted across their lockers telling them not to follow their tattoo numbers, and instead to find a room on Floors 001-010.

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.
ＹＯ́Ｕ̴ ̧Ａ̨ＲＥ ＮＯＴ҉ ̷ＡＬＯ̨ＮＥ҉
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.

no subject
She's just really happy to see him, okay. ]
Sorry, sorry. I need to watch where I'm going. [ Pulling back, she brushes her hair out of her face, glancing behind her just in case Elena pops out from behind some lockers or something. ] I'm just checking on whoever I can find, making sure everyone woke up.
no subject
I don't blame you. Plenty of reason to be in a hurry. You need help checkin' on those pods?
[He grimaces, just a little.]
I've been keepin' an eye out for Elena, too.
no subject
I'm heading back there right now just to take another glance, if you don't mind coming with me? [ Maybe she just wants him nearby just to be sure he's really there. People disappearing on her, leaving her - it's been a constant thing in her life. ] I've already seen Fortescue, so she's awake.
[ Caroline doesn't mention what kind of state she found the woman in. Which isn't a happy place, that's for sure. ]
no subject
[He doesn't waste any time waiting for her to lead him, laying a hand on her shoulder and giving it an encouraging squeeze as he turns back towards the grav couches. They'll do a thorough sweep, see if they can't find more than a couple of familiar faces.]
Fort's doin' okay? [He asks that with a hitch in his voice that implies he's worried she might not be, if only because people tended to turn up shaken after the jump from time to time.] I'll have to check in on her myself once we're done.
no subject
She's okay. There was a book in her locker that kinda got to her - you know, the 'gifts' they leave us in those things really suck. [ She's upset on Fort's behalf on this one. ] Not to mention we could get really weird things, and I'm just not on board with that.
no subject
I've yet to see them leave anyone anything nice. You get any nasty surprises in yours?
[Now or any other jump-- he's just now realizing he's never asked after it before. He's never gotten any 'gifts' aside from his clothes and his knife when he'd first turned up, and he's not sure he wants to get any.]
no subject
[ Considering that 'normal' on this ship isn't really normal - or her definition of it, at any rate. ]
I talked to some guy who mentioned getting some kind of zombie arm in his. [ Gross AND creepy, great combo there. ] He said he kept it as a pet.
no subject
Zombie arm.
[Wait a second--]
Zombie arm? The hell is someone supposed to do with that? Doesn't seem all that cuddly. Can't be much company.
[He questions her even as they head back towards the pods, keeping conversation flowing-- it'll help, take the edge off some.]
no subject
[ SHE KNOWS. It's crazy. ]
I couldn't do it. Not that I want a pet while I'm on this thing, anyway. [ Pets haven't really been on her mind in...well, ever.
They turn a corner, reaching the pod area. There are still people milling around, looking all sticky and ew. ]
You'd think they'd make this whole process less icky. [ She frowns at some pods as they pass them. ] I get why it's all liquid and stuff, like that oxygen liquid people can breathe in. I guess it's similar, but it's not less gross.
no subject
[Seeing as all kinds of things that would probably kill them outright keep showing up.]
Could do without the naked part, personally. Don't mind the goo, it washes right off, but some of us are old-fashioned.
[He's just saying.]
no subject
I guess that's a plus, but there are way too many cons about the whole process for me to be happy with it. [ Yes, she made a mental pros and cons list. ] Anyway, I'd rather be in a tube than not when a jump happens, since that's supposed to be bad news.
[ Which has her distracted for a moment to ask: ]
Hey, do you know what happens?
no subject
[That's a good question -- one he's received vague answers to in the past, but never any specifics.]
All I know is you get in or you die. Not sure what happens outside the pods to make that the end result, but everyone I've asked about it-- that's what they've said. I'm curious about it, myself, but it's not like we can risk waitin' outside the pods to see it with our own eyes, now, is it?
no subject
[ And she is just fine not being messed with on that particular level, tyvm.
At this point, they've reached the pod Elena usually pops out of. It's open, and empty, which gives Caroline hope enough to clap her hands happily. ]
She's out! I bet she's in the shower or something.
