( 003 » ENSEMBLE ) party time.
» WHO? Everyone
» WHEN? July 1 to July 8
» WHERE? Entire Station
» WHAT? 168 hours of being forced to listen to cheesy music on repeat…
» WARNINGS? the mundane and slightly ridiculous becoming terrible, cheesy pop music, forced sleep deprivation, anger, loss of control, emotions, potential for stabbing, hallucinations, mania, memory loss, confusion, seizures, depression.
It starts in the mess hall and it starts slowly. At first, it can barely be heard over the conversations that are happening but as the volume increases, it becomes apparent that music is playing. Not just any music: characters from Earth will recognise these pop hits from the 70s, 80s and 90s. They’re the kind of hits one might find on a Spotify playlist titled “Top 100 Cheesy Hits” or “Songs To Sing To In The Shower”. Power ballads. Boy bands. Girl bands. Woodstock.
Soon, the music can be heard all across the station, blasting from every speaker, audible in every room. Characters who were asleep in their quarters will be woken by the music’s volume, characters under the shower might want to start singing along (but remember, the walls might just be thin enough for the neighbours to hear) and if characters clear some chairs, there’s enough space in the bar for an impromptu dance floor.
Some characters have been working on improving the replicators, too, so while the alcohol supplies at the bar are dwindling and all but gone, the replicators are now capable of making something that’s palatable, even if it’s not quite up to scratch.
What’s the harm in having some fun? It’s just a little music, right?
It’s just a little music, right? And it is — but it just won’t seem to stop. The first few hours may have been entertaining, at least for those who did not get woken up by the sound of decades (centuries, even) in the past, but the music keeps going long past the point of entertainment.
After two hours, the songs start repeating. After six hours, they’re still playing. After twelve? Still playing. Twenty-four? Still playing.
Sleep becomes all but impossible as the music keeps playing loudly in every room and every corridor of the station. Attempts to shut it down prove unsuccessful.
Forty-eight hours later, the music is still playing.
Characters will begin to suffer the effects of sleep deprivation, in addition to the general irritation that might come from hearing the same two hours worth of cheesy pop songs on a loop: headaches, exhaustion, tremors, irritability and confusion to begin with, followed by lapses in memory, muscle aches, malaise, violent behaviour, hallucinations or mania as cognitive effects set in, possibly also seizures and depression.
And still, the music keeps playing.
The music and the sleep deprivation it causes are the reason for many of the symptoms people are feeling, but something is happening that goes even beyond the music, beyond the lack of sleep: something has changed about the food replicators.
The food is slowly getting better, for one, thanks to a group of individuals who’ve been working on improving them. Beyond that, however, imperceptible, the composition of the food comes with something extra -- namely heightened emotions. Whatever causes it, it’s in the water, too.
Those who are already angry feel angrier and have a harder time controlling that anger. Those who are already sad feel sadder and have a harder time not bursting into tears. Those who are already apathetic feel more apathetic and have a harder time prompting themselves to so much as move. The effect holds for all emotions, heightening them, making them harder to control or counteract. Impulses become action far more quickly than usual. Irritation at the music may become anger at the person singing along under their breath and that, in turn, may lead to someone getting stabbed with a plastic fork.
It’s nearly impossible to keep a cool head, though some people seem more affected than others.
OOC: This part of the plot is completely opt-in. Whatever characters are feeling will be heightened and strengthened and their impulse control lowered. Make sure to get ooc permission for any stabby action of comparable deeds, and keep in mind that non-con is prohibited in game.
After 168 hours, the music stops. Whatever was in the water and the food is gone again, meaning characters may never know it was there in the first place. After all, some of the effects of it could have been down to the sleep deprivation as well…
Still, there’s something off about the whole thing. It might seem like someone is watching them. Toying with them. But surely that’s just paranoia, right?
In the aftermath of sleep deprivation and poor impulse control, characters might want to get some sleep or try to mend those relationships that were damaged by careless words or people getting creative with the cutlery.
Please remember to put warnings in subject lines if so required.

[It was honestly hard to keep track of the days. Especially with no sun.]
Hallucinations seems to be a reoccurring theme around here. Which is always fun.
no subject
[She asks before immediately wincing as the song changes over to 'Barbie Girl' by Aqua. Raven's heard it once already and doesn't really care to hear it again.] It would be nice if whatever is doing this could at least let us pick the music we're being forced to listen to.
no subject
[Which feels both long ago, and like it just happened.]
It would, but we've never really gotten what we want around here.
[She should probably keep her negative thoughts to herself though. It was hard enough coming here, she didn't need to make it worse for her.]
Can I get you anything? I'm about to get some more coffee.
no subject
Uh, yeah. Sure. Thanks. I'll take a coffee too. Cream, no sugar?
no subject
[Daisy takes hers black with three sugars, so it's not easy to mix the two up. Placing Raven's in front of her, Daisy sits back down.]
It tastes so much better than it used to. Even the food almost tastes like food now.
no subject
At least something is looking up. Hopefully if this music stops it won't mean that the food is god awful again.
no subject
[Spoiler alert: She'd rather eat the terrible food.]
no subject
Blasting music to prevent sleep is a form of torture and an interrogation technique. I wonder if something out there is trying to get us to break...?
no subject
[Call it paranoia, call it being cautious. Either way, Daisy has a hard time trusting anything that happens here.]
no subject
[But she doesn't think this is Trask's doing, obviously. There's no way that it could be. She's fairly certain that they are legitimately in space. That seems real.]
I just don't understand why. There are easier ways to watch people have mental breakdowns.
no subject
I think that's part of their play.
[Daisy refuses to believe they're actually here alone. Or at the very least, that they aren't being watched.]
That there are some of us that know better than to think we're alone, but there's no rhyme or reason for what happens. Other than to drive us crazy.
no subject
This is worse than back home. At least there I understood my enemy. [Raven despised them, but she knew how they ticked. Here, she felt completely clueless.]
no subject
[Namely the Watchdogs were her enemy. Daisy hopes it doesn't come off as rude, but she's curious.]
Were you born like that?
no subject
Yes. I was. And I am from Earth, so looking like this alone has earned me plenty of enemies.
no subject
[Daisy hasn't spoken about Raina in a very long time, mostly out of guilt. But she felt compelled to bring her up now.]
I knew someone who had a very--
[Yeah there was no way to really say that without coming off as rude, was there?]
Different outward appearance. It wasn't related to her actual power though. Is that what it's like for you?
