» 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.( ♪ )

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.

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.
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.

No reason to worry, then.

Right, remind me that next time and I won't pull the tether so hard. [ Dryly.
He reaches out and very carefully wipes down the wound, and it's longer than he'd like but it doesn't look too deep, at least. Just head cuts bleedin' too much thanks to zero gee. At least she wasn't from Earth.
The bandage was a little more annoying to do with one hand, but he managed it somehow. It wasn't pretty, but it would keep the blood in her face where it should be. When he was done he leaned back a little. Good. ]
Alrigh'. Should be all fixed up, now. Wish I had a coagulant spray, but beggars can't be choosers.
no subject
Hey, you saved my life. I'm not going to critique your form.
no subject
You'da done the same for me. [ He had literally no doubt about that. ]
Think you should take it easy for a bit, though. I can get you some food if you want to hang in here for a bit.
[ Or she could go back to her own damn room, Alex.... ]
no subject
Nah, I'm okay. Thanks, though.
[And then she holds out her hand.]
Can I see that arm?
no subject
Oh. Righ'.
[ The sling was gone - he'd just been holding it to his chest - so it wasn't hard to hold it out in her direction, as he braced himself against the top of the bunk. ]
It's fine, Gunny. Mighta wrenched it a bit, but it ain't gone and rebroken itself or anythin'. Probably should make a new sling, though.
no subject
Do you have something else we can use as a sling? Something I haven't bled all over?
no subject
Think I've got another jumpsuit that I can sacrifice for it. [ He pushed off, to the closet, where indeed - there were actually two more jumpsuits in it, that he had found and stashed away so that he didn't have to wear the same damn thing every day. He pulled one out, then let it float in the middle of the room. ]
That should do.
no subject
You sure you want me to wreck this?
no subject
[He pushed off again, floating over to where she was, then touching down and letting the mag boots snap him into place. ]
So do your worst.
OR DOES SHE
[Bobbie takes the jumpsuit and snags it on a sharp corner of the bunk until she makes a hole, which she manages to widen with her fingers until she can tear the thick fabric completely. After a bit, she's got something that resembles a sling, and she gestures for him to come closer.]
LMFAO
Don't think anyone wants that.
[ He watches her work - keeping an eye out in case she looks like she's woozy or dizzy at all, but she makes short work of it, and he can't help but just smile at her. When she finishes, he edges closer, the magboots hissing with each step. ]
Be gentle, I'm fragile. [ And grinning like a little shit. ]
no subject
[But she's smiling back as she leans in to tie the sling gently around arm and neck.]
Anything hurt?
just his heart
[ He pulls the knots a little tighter, then makes sure it's not going to move. Good. ]
Thanks. Would've been annoying as hell to fix up on my own.
you're BULLYING ME
[And now that they're both patched up...]
Want me to leave you to it?
that isn't raucous coconuts
Think I'd rather keep an eye on you, if that's alright. Don't think you have a concussion, but better safe than sorry, right?
