( 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.

The mention of powers does get a little reaction on his face. He's never been a very good liar by anything more than omission and even those are questionable and easily seen through, he thinks. Maybe it's not fair, but he wishes more people trusted him with things like that. First Erik and now Daisy. Hasn't he made it clear that he sees people only for who they are? ]
I'm sure you got a few good hits in first.
[ He knows she's tougher than she looks. ]
What kind of powers did you have before?
no subject
[It didn't really seem to slow him down though. Which frustrated her to no end, even now. When he asks her about her powers she realizes she never told him. Honestly, there were times that she forgot that the people here had no idea about them unless it was brought up. Which, in a way, was nice. People didn't judge her before actually getting to know her like so many did back home.]
I can create earthquakes, essentially.
[That was kind of vague though, wasn't it? It would be so much easier to just show him.]
There are vibrations in everything, I can tune into them and manipulate them.
no subject
[ Powers or no, he thinks he knows who Daisy is. The secret might sting, but her having powers changes very little for him.
It must be jarring to lose something like that. He thinks of going back to the way he was before or seeing Wanda without her powers and he knows that for him, at least, he'd be a little lost. Maybe not as bad as waking up after the ice, but close enough. ]
no subject
[It's hard for her to not see it as deliberate. Was there a chance someone here knew who she was? It felt like a big possibility. She already felt like shit, and this was just pissing her off. Having her ass handed to her like that was frustrating, to say the least. Even now when her body as screaming at her lay down, Daisy feels uneasy.]
There should be some pain meds in the kit, can you grab them for me? Please.
no subject
[ He digs into the kit and brings them to her, then he grabs the glass to refill her water, too, talking as he moves around. ]
I've never heard of anything like that happening. Do you know how you got the powers? Could it be related to that?
no subject
[Taking them from him, Daisy doesn't bother waiting for him to refill her glass and opts to dry swallow them instead. Of course, she remembers how she got her power, but she's not going to go into details about it.]
It's not related. Unless there happens to be Kree on this ship, which I'm somehow doubting. They're a pretty cocky race and I doubt they'd be able to handle hiding behind the scenes for this long without making their presence known.
[There's a possibility that he's seen the gnarly scar behind her ear but had just been too polite to ask before now, but she turns her head and moves her hair out of the way so he can see it.]
The last time I didn't have my powers the Kree implanted a power inhibitor in me.
[She just leaves out the part where Fitz forcefully removed it.]
no subject
Would you know if you had one in you now?
no subject
I mean, the only thing that came to mind was those weird wires we found when we first got here. But we got them out, and if it had injected something, then why would you still have your strength?
no subject
[ It wouldn't surprise him if they'd tried, though. It's not just his strength. The serum affected his mind, too. ]
Or maybe it can't be reversed.
no subject
Maybe. Either way, I know someone who's willing to analyze the wire I found in me. So if we ever get that lab open, I might take them up on that.
[Her head was already throbbing before she got thrown around like a ragdoll and beat up like a punching bag, now? It's ten times worse and she can feel herself growing more irritated by the second. She should probably just stay in bed and recover, but the idea of him still being out there? Possibly doing the same thing to someone else? Daisy pushes the blanket back, this time not caring that he might see her in her underwear. Hell, he already did before.]
Where did you put my jumpsuit?
[She may have been the one to start the fight, but, there was no denying he was a lot stronger than she was and had used that strength to his advantage. What happens if someone else gets pissed off? She needs to make sure no one else gets hurt because of him.]
no subject
Hanging in the bathroom. Try to rest up.
[ Steve, on the other hand, is going back out there to look out for anyone else who might be in trouble. He throws her a look that means business. ]
I mean it.
[ enjoy his stern captain voice. ]
no subject
Yeah, I'll get right on that.
[Can he hear the sarcasm in her voice?]
