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.


----------------


YOU͘ ̨WAKE̢ ̧UP ́IN DA̛RKN̢E̕SS̶


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.

Uh, no, there's—

[ Well, he knows where to find the one person he probably needs to find, but he has to make his way through the motions and get back to his section of the ship first. ]

It's okay. Not a— not a big deal. Just gotta get myself oriented, y'know? I'll— If you want, I'll walk with you a bit... Help you look or whatever.

[ Even if she might not need the help, she would like to keep an eye on him. Make sure he's doing okay before she leaves him alone on the Good Ship Spaceterror. ]

Sure, I'd like the company. I'm keeping an eye out for my friend. [ She tilts her head the slightest bit forward, looking over at him before she starts to walk. ] She didn't wake up last month, but I'm pretty sure she's still here. Ish.

As here as you can be in a weird space tube, anyway.

What's she look like? Can always— What I mean is that I could keep an eye out for her, too, while we— while we walk or whatever.

[ Perennially awkward isn't all that far off-base when you really get Blake on his own, especially with strangers. ]

Got a pretty good eye for that sorta thing.

[ Caroline is talkative enough and social enough that any awkwardness is no big deal.

At least for her. ]


Elena's about this tall. [ Taking a hand, she levels it at her eyes. ] Really long, brown hair. Brown eyes. Hopefully clothed because I don't think she would be super thrilled with being gooey and naked.

[ Also, vampire, but she's not going to say that out loud. ]
oversight: ([-] really wanna go there?)

[personal profile] oversight 2015-02-07 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
No, who can be happy 'bout that?

[ He smiles a little thinly and continues along, eyes peeled for a woman with the description Caroline's given him. The name Elena doesn't ring a bell, but he's damn decent at picking people out based on description. ]

How long's your— [ He coughs. ] How long's Elena been here?
