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.

[Give him a few seconds to shoot wide-eyed disbelieving glances between this kid and that bear. He's almost not sure which is the stranger sight to see, the five year old offering him a hand or the panda bear staring at him blankly.

Wait, yes he is. The fucking panda bear.

The waving bear.

Sl...owly he reaches a hand out and accepts the help, but he mostly relies on his free hand to push himself upward with a palm on the ground. A lot of that five-year-old strength goes unused.]


...How- how did-

[He asks, stops himself, shakes his head.]

Did you train that bear?

[Because seriously, what?]

[Hmm? Oh!]

No, I didn't need to! He's really smart.

[Also that panda bear is wearing a leather jump suit, or something. Hoi Hoi perks and looks at Bellamy, and I swear, Bellamy, his eyes are practically shining with the desire to flop over on you and embrace you lovingly. This bear is just really weird like that. But any possibility of psychologically scarring you further is halted when Takeshi side-steps to keep the bear separated from the man. He didn't want Hoi Hoi getting stabbed, even if the suit protects from little things like that.]

Me an' him met in the aparpment, and he followed me here. He's one of my best friends.

[That bear keeps giving him the I want to eat your face eyes, and Bellamy can't help but glare warily back. You just keep your distance, bear, he sWEARS TO GOD.

And then the kid steps between them, which does absolutely nothing to block Bellamy's vision of the thing since Bellamy's probably three times this kid's heigh, but his eyes flick down just the same.

Turns out it's impossible for Bellamy Blake to be an asshole to a child. He just physically can't do it, so after a moment of pursed lips, he squats down a little to get more on the kid's level.]


Are you sure you should be alone with a wild animal that big? You know, if that thing decided to turn on you, he could probably really hurt you.

[It's a legitimate concern he feels he has to address, because

that's a wild fucking animal and this is a five year old.]

[He flusters a bit, mostly in the way he usually does when someone is trying to be a Bro. Even though he's spent so much time making so many friends, it was still not so long ago, before Kaze and Heather and Netherlands, that someone around Bellamy's height had been a great source of misery for him. He was stronger now, though, and Dad taught him he was strong. Even if he wasn't then, he is now.

He looks back at Hoi Hoi.]


Mmhmm. I'll be okay. Hoi Hoi'd keep me safe. We're teammates, too! Just 'cus he's a bear doesn't mean he's not a - a uportant teammate. I gotta protect him! It's my job to protect people!
