forty-second 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: There's a strange sense of contentment that greets you as you wake from the jump. Deep and certain, it doesn't warm you or cloak the unpleasantness of the stasis fluid on your skin and the disorientation spinning in your head. It feels disconcertingly distant, instead, a sense as though an answer has been decided on - and that you won't much like to experience it coming to fruition...

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 nods, thinking more to herself.]

Hardly surprising as nothing in this place makes sense.

You are a Templar though, am I correct?

[She has no magic so Templar's don't really worry her. She's not really fond of them but she's not fond of a lot of people.]

I am.

[Even if the dried blood is covering up some of the symbol on her armor it's pretty distinct. But that's also why she insists on wearing it despite any easier alternatives. The Order is dead, but what it stood for is not and somehow that remains true even here.]
storiesandknives: (Blood ran through the palace)

Mira Tabris, Warden-Commander of Ferelden.

[Shifting into her role as a Grey Warden makes it easier to be polite.]

[There is a tilt to her head, only at the slightest of angles.]

Evangeline de Brassard, previously to the White Spire of Val Royeaux.

Well met.

[An Orlesian Templar.....well that explains the accent. Hooray, people who are well known for treating elves like crap.]

A pleasure. Now that we know where we stand, would you be be willing to tell me anything else you know about this ship and what brought us here? I may joke but I really don't like waking up kidnapped as often as it happens to me.
undyingbeliefs: (I can explain but you won't get it)

[personal profile] undyingbeliefs 2015-04-25 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[As if anyone appreciates being kidnapped.]

Were there more information to give, you would have it.

What more I can say is this is likely not any ship you are accustomed to; it takes to air and not to water. We're in space.

[Still weird to say and likely never will be something she's accustomed to. But she says it with enough simplicity that it is undoubtedly fact, equally as true as her stating her name.]
storiesandknives: (I heard stab him)

[personal profile] storiesandknives 2015-04-25 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[She seems to pause to think this over for a moment. Then shrugs.]

I've seen enough in my life to not write off insane things as impossible anymore. So space. Is the reason we're not all dead magic?
undyingbeliefs: (You're not helping your case)

[personal profile] undyingbeliefs 2015-04-27 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
[It's worrisome when someone just shrugs at space. But, perhaps she should just be grateful she doesn't have to calm down or explain further.]

I cannot be certain if magic is what's keeping us alive, no. None of the mages present believe our being here magic related, nor the way others come and go from time to time. Some others on board, however, are more accustomed to these sorts of ships. Unfortunately, they know little more than the rest of us it seems.
storiesandknives: (And that is why I'm not allowed back)

[See's seen shit man.]

I see.....is everyone here from Thedas?

[Some of the people she's seen look a little ...not from home.]
undyingbeliefs: (No)

[personal profile] undyingbeliefs 2015-04-27 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Not everyone, no. There are a handful of us at best. Most are from other worlds and places.
