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.

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.

[And the Martillos could be pretty heavy partiers.
It doesn't take a genius--which Firo certainly isn't--to guess why the he's looking away. Belatedly, he offers an apology.]
Sorry. Makes you feel any better, you're definitely not the wierdest person I've met.

Huh. That'd be a toss-up between... either the insane robber couple I know who wear costumes to every job and haven't been caught despite havin' no brains... or the cannibal covered in dragon tattoos who likes his food live.

[Firo tilts his head to one side, then concedes:]
But he still chewed up some people there.
no subject
no subject
Yeah, you look like you'd break his teeth. ...Which would probably do a few people a favor, though I only ever saw him go after real jerks.
no subject
no subject
Yeah?
[He nearly thinks better of it, but genuine curiosity drives him to ask.]
Why's that?

[Firo's pretty dense, but even he knows right away that he's overstepped here.]
Yeah, people here are... they're different, that's for sure.
[A bunch of goody two shoes, really. Not in the way of the fierce and brutal law and order cops he's known, but kinder.
He sets his jaw firmly.]
Listen, if you do meet anybody like that here, I'll back you up.
[Firo doesn't need too much to make a decision about somebody and he's decided he kind of likes this guy. Besides, they've shared a drink, which is supposed to mean something.]
no subject
He's not sure if that's because Firo simply hasn't had to face the same sort of hardships as him or if because he just is that selfless, but either way the alien has to give voice to his confusion.] You... barely know me. You would offer your help without reservation like this..?
no subject
Of course, if it turns out you're just a jackass, I won't hesitate to do what I need to.
But I've met a lotta jerks in my time who treat people like shit just 'cause they're different, so... I'm willin' to take a gamble on you.
[This is the guy who took a former enemy into his home without even really knowing her--this move seems pretty obvious and harmless to him.
Besides, he's had people attack him and he's been in prison--even if he deserved both to some extent, he can't not feel a bit of sympathy for a seemingly-decent person who's also been through that.]
no subject
I promise not to betray that trust... unless you attempt to harm me, or those I care about. But given the nature of this conversation, I think that at least is something I will not have to worry about.
no subject
I think that all sounds fair. And, yeah, I think we'll be fine.
