forty-third 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: As you emerge from the grav couches following the jump, the chill of the medical bay pales in comparison to the hollow feeling that settles deep within your chest. Grim and foreboding, the grip of isolation spreads through you like a gnawing void, as though you've been left behind. That nagging sensation of neglect that comes from someone turning their back on you only worsens as you move through your routines, leaving you feeling distant, disoriented, and unwanted.
New arrivals will find messages spray-painted in red 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.

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.

Fortescue offers an apologetic smile and scoops the sleek black cat into her arms, looking down at the other cat. ]
Sorry, darling. A bit restless this Jump, I guess. He's not normally so rude.
no subject
Could be Tranquility nonsense.
no subject
[ She's a little tired of the ship messing with her cat, but it's unlikely to stop, so. They'll just have to live with it. And also with another cat, it seems. ]
Have you had your cat aboard for a while?
no subject
[She, on the other hand, was clearly not.]
no subject
[ Fortescue smiles. Jazz, of course, also came with her. Luckily, or else she would be on board the ship without a soul. Things would have been very different. ]
The ship does seem to... like animals. If 'like' is the word for it.
[ It probably isn't. ]
no subject
[Because if the ship is sentient it clearly hates them all.]
Awful lotta cats. Death worked that bit out.
no subject
[ She's chuckling, remembering that particular conversation. ]
I suppose cats are probably the best option for a space ship.
no subject
Keeps the mice down. Useful animals, cats.
no subject
[ Which is his favorite room in the entire ship. ]
no subject
[She's very particular about bees. THey're useful.]
no subject
I don't think he goes after them. But I can't make any promises. Usually he goes after the bigger ones, though, I think. The bugs that skitter along the ground.
no subject
[She clucks a bit]
Probably remember if he went for 'em. THey don't much care for it.
