» WARNINGS? zero g, paralysis, the vacuum of space, possible asphyxiation, possible character death
The outer rings of Reverie Station rotate around the shaft of the station, using inertial forces to simulate gravity. One moment, this works fine — people are walking along corridors, sleeping in their beds, eating in the mess hall or having a drink at the bar. The next moment? In some parts of the station, a crunching sound can be heard, like metal against metal, and shortly thereafter, the rings cease to spin, causing a jolt to go through all rings.
And then what passed for gravity just stops.
Your food, drink or blanket might have floated off after the jolt. Remember to engage your mag boots, if you're wearing them, lest you follow suit. Good luck getting around in zero g.
It isn't clear why the rotation of the rings has stopped and gravity ceased, but one thing is certain: life on the station is a lot more difficult without gravity, especially for those not used to living and working in a zero g environment. The sensible thing would be to fix whatever is wrong, but in order to do that, you have to figure out what's wrong first.
One way to get an idea might be to put on a suit (if required) and go out an airlock to have a close look at the upper ring, where the crunching noise could be heard the loudest. The objective is to identify the problem and, if possible, fix it — but unless you have the power of flight and can breathe in the vacuum of space, the walk from the airlock to surveying the ring will be taxing in and of itself.
Better not lose hold of the station or each other and whatever you do, do not disengage those mag boots. Hopefully, no debris will come flying at you. The station may be built to withstand it, but you aren't.
OOC: There are some 20 vac suits with oxygen packs and small thrusters for (weak) propulsion available in the spaces currently accessible to characters; these can be found in various airlocks.
For those who've successfully made the walk across the hull of the station to find the problem, it will soon become obvious what has happened: debris crashed into the station and got lodged between the uppermost ring and the shaft of the station, where it is stuck, preventing the spinning of the ring.
You will need to work together to cut through the debris or dislodge it. It's heavy, and you have little leverage in the absence of gravity.
Keep in mind also that if you successfully dislodge the debris, the outer ring will start moving again. Be prepared, especially if you're still connected to the ring by your mag boots. Inertial forces can be quite strong, so you will need to brace yourself or risk being dislodged yourself.

0 0 1 . 1 » UPSIDE DOWN AND FLOATING
The lack of gravity may be disorienting at first for those not used to operating in zero g environments. Fortunately, mag boots mean you can continue walking along corridors — though the boots will engage with what used to be the ceiling of the corridors as much as what used to be the floor. No matter which part of the corridor you're attached to, if any, better make sure to collect anything that may be floating around, lest it becomes a dangerous projectile whenever gravity turns back on.
The mess hall and the gym area in particular are in a significant state of disarray. In the mess hall, some cutlery (of the grey, hard plastic variant) has been left unsecured and is floating harmlessly through the air. The same holds true for a large amount of protein powder. In the gym area, meanwhile, the entirety of the dirty water from the pool is no longer in the pool.( ☺︎ )
0 0 1 . 2 » PARALYSIS INDOORS
One moment, you’re walking — or maybe you’re floating, mag boots disengaged. Either way, from one moment to the next, you become unable to move. Your arms, your legs, even wiggling a toe becomes a thing of impossibility. There’s a heavy weight on your chest, despite the fact that gravity is still not back on. Taking a breath is an ordeal. You can’t call for help, you can’t signal to anyone, you can only stay still.( ♪ )

0 0 2 . 1 » FLOATING AROUND
The station may be built to withstand debris, but you aren't — which makes it all the more unfortunate that some debris does catch you. In the side, in the face or in the legs, it doesn't matter: what matters is that the impact is strong enough to disengage the mag boots, which means you are now floating in space.
Did your suit take damage? Do its thrusters still work, or not? Is your oxygen pack still connected properly? If your connection to the station network is still intact, now would be a good time to call for help and hope that someone's close enough to get to you in time before you float too far from the station to still be reached, before your oxygen runs out, before any possible injuries you may have sustained take their toll.( ♪ )
OOC: With this prompt, the extent of possible injuries, the time before rescue and factors such as oxygen or damage to the suit are all up to players. Please keep in mind that character death is very much a possibility — but that death means relatively little. Should a character die from their injuries or lack of oxygen, they will awaken again. As per the death mechanism outlined in the FAQ, characters are brought back to life (possibly repeatedly, if rescue takes a while), but they lose something. What they lose is up to players as well (a limb, memories, senses, social skills, ...) and the duration of the loss can range from a few days to permanent loss.
0 0 2 . 2 » PARALYSIS OUTDOORS
One moment, you are walking along the hull of the station. The next, you're frozen. Your arms and legs no longer move and there's pressure on your chest. Even taking a breath becomes an ordeal. You cannot move forward. You cannot move back. You can't even signal or call for help.
What choice do you have but to wait out this paralysis and hope that it loses its hold on you before your oxygen runs out? Better not panic, lest you use up more of it.( ♪ )

For those who've successfully made the walk across the hull of the station to find the problem, it will soon become obvious what has happened: debris crashed into the station and got lodged between the uppermost ring and the shaft of the station, where it is stuck, preventing the spinning of the ring.
You will need to work together to cut through the debris or dislodge it. It's heavy, and you have little leverage in the absence of gravity.

Ricki Tarr: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Ricki loves it, contrary bastard that he is. The gravity goes, all of a sudden, and the mess hall erupts into chaos, food and drink and cutlery going. Ricki ignores it all, lets out a laugh, and kicks up off his seat and into the air in a balletic glide.
It's a few seconds to the ceiling, where he grabs purchase, swings his body around by drawing his knees up, and activates his magboots.
Ricki straightens, arms lifting over his head, reaching down for the floor and the other station denizens.
0 0 2 » I CAN'T DO THAT FOR YOU DAVE
The surface of the station is a terrifying place to be, made worse by the sound of his breath in his own ears and the clunk and thunk of his boots locking to, and disengaging from the station.
He walks, mostly in silence. The debris hasn't been found yet, so it's just a matter of exploration. Looking, watching, for any sign of what could be the problem. A break in grey on grey, black on black.
Ricki is trying to get a handle on the feeling of agoraphobia when he looks out over the stars. On one such glance, there's a problem. They're just far enough from the door that Ricki thinks to himself this is going to be a problem.
Before he came out here, he'd opened a general audio channel on his communicator and encouraged others suiting up to do the same. Via that network, he murmurs;
"Incoming."
Shortly, sound badly distorted by the press of the suit. But he points at the collection of rocks bearing down on their position.

[[Content Warning: broken bones.]]
"Open the airlock!"
He yells, banging on the station wall, struggling to activate the network so he can get the word out.
"And someone find a doctor!" Shouting, scrambled into the open network. "We need help, right fucking now."
It takes monumental effort to drag himself inside, grunting in pain as the air venting into the antechamber around him, then stumbling through onto the deck proper and collapsing to the ground. His suit isn't open to the conditions of space, but there is something sort of ugly and crumpled about the neck and shoulder, the mechanism that holds the helmet down. He's taken a hit.

so of course she opens up the airlock the moment someone's activating the network and asking for it, yelling, obviously hurt. she opens the airlock and watches him stumble inside before closing it, pressurising it again. only then can she go in as well and the wait for that feels impossibly long.
once inside, she crouches down by his side, keeping her hands to herself because she's not sure where he's hurt. )
What do you need?
( aside from a doctor. they don't have a doctor, do they? they have alucard. )
no subject
[He answers, the minute the faceplate cracked, voice tight and stressed. His heart is still in his throat.]
Shit.
[The fat gloves aren't nimble enough to navigate the buttons and locks easily.]
no subject
( she offers him a smile, gently batting his hands away to work the buttons and locks with ungloved hands instead. )
no subject
[As he leans back against the wall and allows her to help him out of the suit, while he catches his breath.]
Whoever's driving this boat is taking us right through a cloud of shit.
no subject
( the station is just hanging in orbit, right?
there. a click, and his helmet comes free. she pulls it off him slowly, carefully. who knows if he has a neck injury? hopefully he doesn't have a neck injury. kat isn't great at first aid. she's not terrible at it, either, but definitely not great. )
Are you hurt? ( it looks like he's hurt. )
no subject
[He says, but forces himself to settle.]
I'm far more shaken than harmed. But- thank you.
no subject
( bruises aren't so bad, right? bruises heal. )
Do you want to sit up?
no subject
[He admits, but does, anyways, pushing himself up to sit, with a groan.]
no subject
( maybe he hit his head. she hopes not. kat keeps her hands hovering by his shoulders, ready to catch him should he slump, but he manages to push himself up without any intervention. )
no subject
[He says, and gets to his feet, cautiously.]
Fuck this place.
no subject
Is it getting better? Do you need to see — I guess we don't really have a doctor, but that Alucard guy?
no subject
[Maybe that's a little old fashioned, but he's sticking to it.]
It'll pass.
no subject
Okay.
( she won't argue the point, though. not while he's hurt, anyway. )
Do you want to go to your room? You should probably rest.
no subject
[Because he's now got to begin the process of getting out of the suit, and re-storing it for someone else to crawl into.]
no subject
If you want and you're okay with waiting, I can also walk you. ( you know, lest you fall over. )
no subject
[Though he's got to say, her best bet if he falls is probably to step out of the way.]
