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.

[Rhys do you know what a fish is.
Actually, that's kind of a fair assumption, considering the- you know, the gills.]
Well, I guess different strokes, different folks. You do you, man. Hopefully we'll all get to go home soon.
no subject
That is a sentiment I share, hu--ah, Rhys. I will do what I can to contribute to that.
no subject
[Makes sense.
(No it doesn't.)]
I think I need to find my friends- er, other friends. You're my friend, I just have... other friends. Who I need to find.
no subject
[He's about to continue explaining how he is not a fish, nor did his species evolve from them--how he is something unique and completely different from anything known to humanity. But Rhys' jumbled sentiment catches him off guard. He stops and blinks, tilting his head.] I--you--I am? [That was, ah... surprisingly easy. Sure, they agreed to help each other out, but for some reason he was expecting that to be mostly just... a mutually beneficial agreement in Rhys' mind. Being called a friend is more personal than he was expecting from the man.]
no subject
[The correct answer here is 'no', but now that he's really stepped in it, Rhys doesn't have a way of backpedaling out of this. What's the harm in saying that they're friends, really?
He sort of chokes for a moment, before shrugging.]
I... yes?

[He sort of awkwardly pats Glacius on the shoulder.]
We're all friends. Let's have a party later to celebrate.
no subject
Ah... what would that entail?
