0 0 1 » LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED


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?

0 0 2 » I WANT OFF THIS RIDE


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.

0 0 3 » THERE’S SOMETHING IN THE WATER


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.

0 0 4 » AFTERMATH


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.

[ It only takes a moment for Erik's reaction to filter through the haze of Hank's rage. The way his body is squirming underneath Hank's grips, with how close they are to each other... It has a a bit of an unexpected effect on Hank, as he feels the crotch region of his coveralls begin to get uncomfortably tight.

His eyes widen, and he stops growling long enough to try to swallow, only to discover that his mouth has gone dry. The force with which he has Erik pinned to the wall loosens slightly, but he makes no move to back away. Instead, he blinks down at Erik, breath heavy in his chest. ]


Oh, fuck it.

[ His lips crash into Erik's as he pins him to the wall again, this time not with a hand at his throat, but with the full force of his very turned on body. ]

NSFW from here on

[ Erik can feel Hank's bulge pressing against him and his eyes fly wide. He meets Hank's gaze and can't speak. The moment lasts an eternity. Hanks grip on his throat loosens and the pit of Erik's stomach falls. Hank is going to leave him frustrated and yearning again.

But that's not what happens.

Erik's surprised exclamation is muffled by Hank's mouth on his. He shudders and wraps his arms around Hank's neck. Kissing him deeply, his body yielding easily. One hand threads into the longer fur on the back of Hank's head while the other slides down his body to rub Hank's cock through the fabric. Erik's hear thunders in his chest and his pulse rages in his ears. Is this eally happening? ]

[ It's not a purr. Hank doesn't purr. But a rumbly moan definitely comes through his lips at the feeling of Erik's hand palming his cock. In one swift move of strength, Hank grabs Erik by either thigh and lifts him so he can wrap his legs around Hank's waist. That done, he crashes him back against the wall again, though a part of him realizes they'd probably continue this somewhere less open. ]

Mmm--Your rooms or mine? [ The question is uttered as he pulls back a hair's breadth, panting. ]
magneticfields: (awe)

[ This is all extremely stupid. On some level he's aware of this. On some level he knows he shouldn't. He can't do this.

But all of that is drowned out when the low rumbly not-purr* Hank makes reverberates through Erik and goes straight to his cock. He lifts him like he weighs nothing, and crushes him against the wall like his need is just as great as Erik's.

At least one thought manages to come through. One moment of sanity. ]


My rooms.

[ Give them at least a chance of living with this in the future. ]

(*whatever, dude.)

[ Hank knows he shouldn't be doing this. He's just carefully decided to ignore the rational part of his mind that's screaming in his head for him to stop. Or, maybe, the music is playing too loud for him to hear those warnings. Either way, as soon as Erik makes a decision, Hank is carrying him in the direction of his door, slamming him against it for another biting kiss, trusting that Erik will take care of allowing them entry. ]
magneticfields: (smiling)

[personal profile] magneticfields 2018-07-31 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ Erik does help with the door, sliding it open behind them. And then tumbling into the room once the support was gone. He grunts when his head slams onto the floor, stars dancing in his vision for a moment.

He does have enough presence of mind to close and lock the door after them, at least. And then grin sharply despite the pain. ]


Guess it's true. We'll always have Paris.

[ At the joke, Hank bares his teeth, only just restraining himself from strangling Erik again-- it wouldn't help the bulge in his pants to kill Erik before he could fuck him. ]

Don't[ he growls, ] Talk to me about Paris.

[ He made no move to extricate himself from on top of Erik, though he did hold himself up on his elbow so that he wasn't crushing him. His free hand came to the collar of Erik's jumpsuit, grabbing hold of the fabric and pulling, enough to rip the neck of it and expose Erik's collarbone, which Hank then dutifully bent down to press biting kisses to. He intends to leave a mark. ]
magneticfields: (who the fuck are you)

[personal profile] magneticfields 2018-08-11 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Truth be told, Erik isn't terribly interested in talking about Paris, either. It wasn't exactly a high point of his life.

Erik shifts beneath Hank, pinned under the weight. Shuddering when Hank tears his jumpsuit. And then gritting his teeth in annoyance. ]


There's a zipper. I can't get another one.

[ He unzips it and lifts his hips to grind against him as he pulls the thing off. ]

[personal profile] bestials 2018-08-14 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
The empty rooms have closets.

[ He'd raided a few, himself, when he first arrived and the serum wore off. But in any case, while Erik wriggles free beneath him, he pushes himself into a sitting position and unzips his own jumpsuit, hurrying to get his throbbing dick free from the constraints of his underwear. He doesn't bother getting his legs clear, just leans back down to kiss Erik again with all the fervor of a bad decision in the making. ]
