EVENT: MELPOMENE ▒ THE MAZE

Entry tags:

thirty-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: The strange comfort of last month's jump remains, despite how arduous getting into the gravcouches may have been. The heightened sensory experiences that had been plaguing so many characters before the jump are gone, and any sickness or disorientation seems distant, barely a problem. You wake feeling well-rested, calm and content, and welcomed. As you fall free from the gravcouch there is the lingering feeling of someone having been there, near you, someone important and dear to you reaching for you, calling for you to go to them.

The feeling is strong enough that you find yourself looking for them, expecting them to be stood in front of you — but there's no one there, only your fellow passengers emerging from the gravcouches around you...

Entry tags:

twenty-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: The temperature in the medical bay has finally returned to normal. Unfortunately, however, all characters who entered Engineering during last month's incident will wake to find the side effects of the jump significantly worse than they've been in the past. These characters will experience intense nausea and disorientation, and even those with strong constitutions are likely to be temporarily incapacitated by symptoms including vomiting, confusion, vertigo, temporarily impaired/blurred vision, and temporary cases of tinnitus. At worst, characters may black out for short periods of time. This will gradually fade to bearable levels, though it's possible for it to return during inopportune moments throughout the month. New characters and characters who did not enter Engineering will experience the standard post-jump effects, including nausea, spotty memory, and general disorientation.
