» 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.

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.( ☺︎ )

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.

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.

that said, she is by no means a master of physics, especially given that she predates newton by several hundred years. she overshoots how much force to put behind her kick, and barrels towards haru — she manages to latch on to her hand, but haru will probably get jerked around a bit as they spin a little midair.
it looks really silly. ]
I—I'm so sorry— I'm lighter than a feather here, so I thought I should kick off as hard as I could! Which was clearly a mistake!
no subject
It's fine, it's fine! We will be fine. Just don't let go? I fear we may go in opposite directions completely if we let go.
[So yeah, they're gonna be stuck like this for a while?]
no subject
[ she assures herself, as they catapult dangerously close to a wall. ]
Um, what exactly is happening anyway? It's like we all became spirits suddenly, left to roam the corridors.
no subject
From what I understand debris have crashed into the station and are preventing the ring from spinning. So we are stuck in zero-gravity until we figure out how to fix it.
no subject
Um.. right. I assume we aren't talking about a wedding band. [ she was far from an astrophysicist, so how a ring could have any bearing on gravity, she didn't know. she was older than newton!!! ] Well, if we don't fix it, it isn't so bad! It's probably like swimming. Once you learn, you never forget.
[ and now that they were semi-secure, giselle is going to release her grip on haru's hand. she floats ever so slightly away from her, but now that their inertia had dissipated, she's not flying around unable to stop. ]
See? I feel like a morning lark.
no subject
It does sort of feel like we are floating in water rather than mid-air, doesn't it? It's a lot more fun to think of it that way.
[It's like they're floating down a lazy river, and not a metal death trap, INCREDIBLE.]
no subject
I'm still learning about all of this.. space technology. You'll have to be patient with me there. [ haru didn't seem like the hasty type, so she felt like it was fine to tell her about her shortcomings. ] I wonder how long it will take to fix. I won't be any help, so I might as well just stay here in this corner until things go back to normal. I wish I could do something but.. Well, I'd just be a liability in a situation like this!
no subject
[Haru will float alongside of her. Maintaining a respectable talking distance.] Well, what we cannot do on the outside, we should just do on the inside, right? There has to be something we can do to help here if they need it.
no subject
[ so they were doing Something already at least!! ]
Do you have any friends here? I should message mine and see if they're doing okay. My, um, roommate was probably in bed when this started, if I had to wager a guess.
no subject
[She knows her friends might be okay, even one of them has discovered a corpse.]
I do, I should really do the same and message them. Hopefully nothing has gone.., awry.
[What she wants to say is, "I hope nothing has gone to shit", but knowing her friends...SOMETHING has gone to shit.]
no subject
[ it's hard being the most rational person in your cast, she feels you haru. ]
It sounds like you have several people to worry about. You're lucky to have people here to support.
no subject
[She admits it, yes. She admits that she can't seem to worry about herself when her best friends are involved. She cares more about them any day.]
I hope that you can find your friends as well, and that nothing has happened to them.
