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.

[She gives him a small, comforting (she hopes) smile, though.] Caldecott County- but I've spent the past few years in upstate New York.
no subject
Uh, well— upstate's pretty nice, yeah. Prob'ly won't be seein' the Batman up there, but Gotham's— yeah, it's the same place. Same guy.
[ At least the talking seems to be helping to center him and keep him focused on this reality and not some distant one he can't quite remember. ]
Sorry, I'm just— [ He waves his hand hoping she'll understand. ]
no subject
Bruce WayneHas money. That's it. Adam West-styled knowledge.] Living in a place with a real live superhero.[Younger kids liked to say the X-Men were superheroes. It wasn't exactly wrong, but it wasn't right, either. They were just... people.]
No, no, it's alright, really. It's fine. Are you- you're not new here, are you?
no subject
New? No, uh... [ He glances around them, somewhat self-consciously looking around for anyone that might be listening in. He's felt so... chased since leaving his pod, he can't help but feel a bit nervous. ] No, not brand new. Just kinda new.
You been here a while?
no subject
[After destroying part of the ship with powers she'd stolen off of Erik.]
no subject
[ Especially as the panic seems to ebb and flow through him. Why can't he remember what happened? What had been so significant about his dreams? How's he ever going to make it if he can't even tell if he's experiencing reality for those few minutes after being pod-popped. ]
Guess this is why people get kinda involved durin' jumps, though. Sucks— sucks for those people that can't quite get used to it.
no subject
Look, I didn't' interrupt you doing anything, did I?
no subject
[ John smiles slightly. ]
I'll try not to float away on you.
no subject
You're feeling better now, yeah?
no subject
no subject
Just let me know if you do need anything, alright?
no subject
[ She'll probably be too polite to collect, but that doesn't mean he can't keep an eye out for an opportunity to return the favor. ]
Be careful out there...
no subject
[Yeah, she won't collect. But hey, what do you do?]
I will. You, too, John.
