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.

You know something. You know this is happening to you.

[She shouldn't be away from him. She should know this would happen, that he'd get into trouble and never contact her, tell her, let her help. The frustration's nearly unbearable, that she can keep watching these things play by her here with no way to send the knowledge back, to get herself where she needs to be. She still doesn't know where she even is.]

What if you're stuck like this? You can't-- we're werewolves. [Born wolves. Pack.] You can't just lose it.

It's already gone. [ and derek wishes that came out better, but it's blunt, bitter, and he looks away from her. ] Cora...

[ she's not saying anything he doesn't already know. he's lost something he's never lived without. all derek's ever known has slipped away from him, and his only chance at getting it back is tenuous at best. he breathes out harshly, shakes his head. ]

I can live with it. I'll find a way to live with it.

[ to survive, one way or another. that's been the driving force behind derek's existence for longer than he cares to tell her. ]

I'm going to call you. When I know for sure, I will.
