( 0 0 1 ) » WAKE UP

Were you asleep or were you unconscious? It doesn't matter: when you come to, there's an odd taste in your mouth and there's a low-level mechanical hum in the air. Your head hurts and you feel nauseous. You aren't anywhere you know: everything around you is metal, from the floor you lie on all the way to the ceiling. You are dressed in a jumpsuit you definitely weren't wearing before.

"We tried to save the world. I think— I think we did the opposite."

The message repeats on a loop. If you look for its source, you find a comms device on the floor next to you. The logo on its wallpaper says REVERIE TERMINAL. Upon closer inspection, you find the same logo on your jumpsuit.

Welcome to your new home.

( 0 0 2 ) LOOK AROUND

You've woken up — but where have you woken up? It may be time to explore your new home. Rifling through a crew quarter will make the room's terminal lock to the comms device you're carrying; the room becomes yours. That includes everything in it, from the additional jumpsuit to the two extra sets of underwear. In some quarters, you may find remnants of whoever was here before you: a book on the nightstand, a coffee mug still on the table, a lonely sock on the floor.

A look around the shared areas will reveal the bar, some of its bottles already open, the mess hall, observation deck and the gym area with its dirty pool. An even closer look around these areas might reveal basic first aid kits as well as basic tool kits and fire extinguishers. The kits are located near the fire extinguishers in compartments in the wall that are not immediately visible. Hopefully, nothing's on fire and no one needs first aid... but that tool kit might come in handy.

Every now and then, as you explore, you might find yourself standing before a door that is locked. Try as you might, you will not be able to get it open.

( OOC: What items characters find of those who were there before them is up to players, but please limit it to a single item that is mundane and somewhat useless in nature. )


( 0 0 3 ) HAVE A BITE

Sooner or later, all characters will have to make their way to the mess hall if they want to eat. In the mess hall, here are a number of replicator-like devices that sometimes work and sometimes don't— but after a recent malfunction that some characters may have noticed, they seem to work just fine... or at least as well as ever: nothing is particularly palatable, but at least it's nourishment, right?

So why not sit down at a table, whether it's already occupied or not, and have a meal. Maybe use it as an opportunity to introduce yourself, or just to complain about what passes for coffee around here.

And if coffee isn't your preferred beverage, well. There's always the bar.

( 0 0 4 ) NOISES IN THE WALLS


For some, it's been over a week on the station. For others, merely a day or two. For all, things are starting to change: maybe you were asleep or maybe you weren't, but surely the scream that reverberates through the station will startle you. Was it human? Whatever it was, it seems to be coming from the walls of the station. Banging, clanging, then more screams.

Are you going to chase the sounds? Hide away from them? Try to investigate?

If you follow the sound of screams through the station's corridors and halls, you might feel someone - or was it something? - grab you from behind and pull hard. But when you turn around or turn your head if you've fallen, there's nothing and no one there. If you investigate and perhaps put your ear to a wall to see if the noises really come from there, or bang on the wall, you might hear something other than screams and clanging. Strain your ears and you might hear nothing at all — or you might be able to make out a soft "help me". It's barely above a whisper. Did it sound familiar? If you try to take apart the wall, two things will happen: you'll feel uncharacteristically weak and lethargic all of the sudden, and you'll find nothing at all but wiring and more metal.

Whatever you do, you'll find that the noises stop after a while, with no discernible source other than "the walls". And then hours later, they'll start again. Stop again. Start again a day later— and then stop for good.

( O O C ) ACTIONS


Hello Reverie Terminal Operators! Welcome to our inaugural event. We hope you'll enjoy it!

To help exploration and interaction with the station, we have put together ten (10) 'actions' that you can request. These actions range from very minor, such as receiving a small piece of information about the station, to major, which may be a more vital piece of information or something far less pleasant, and are completely opt-in. These actions can help get your character involved in the plot, jump into the plot and its mysteries, and have more of a personal prompt to jump off of if you so wish.

Please note if you would avoid particular kinds of consequences (for example, if you'd rather your character not be injured), and we'll try to accommodate that, but please be aware that heavy themes are in play and the actions may feature body horror, injury and hallucinations.

If you'd like to receive an action, please reply to this comment with the following:


In the future, actions such as these may be "bought" with bonus AC.



Please use content warning in your top-levels wherever necessary.

[He wasn't sure about that. The most devilish thing he could do? He couldn't help but laugh a little at the idea.]

I'd imagine anything I do would be 'the most devilish thing you can do'. It's just strange to have gone soft with the kind of life I've lived so far.

[He's not sure how he's learned to love humanity through being the kind of asshole he was, but the surprises were part of it, he guessed.]

Haha! See? That's totally in character. [ yeah! stick it to the man, kira! ] But... I get what you mean.

[ surprises are just kind of a part of life when you're human. honestly, when you're the devil, too. she can't imagine that part would change. ]

...I wish I had more to offer, here. I'm kind of new to- well. All of this.

[personal profile] counterfeitheart 2018-05-24 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Pfft. Is it? [He's so enamored by Venus. Not in love or anything, but definitely enjoying her company so far. It wasn't like what he was used to, but it was... nice.]

Well, all you need to offer is your own company, I guess. It's... nice... to talk to someone candidly, and to be able to be... honest?

[More or less. He was being honest with her, because he was sure that she just knew who he was. It was just really strange, because... he was still Being Kira. Lucifer wasn't usually like this, but this also felt more real for him.

Like maybe being a human was freeing for him. Or something.]

[personal profile] wingstosee 2018-05-27 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ she gets that. like, she doesn't get it, because why would he not want to be a devil? but she still gets the overall feeling behind it, and the feeling of honesty, and just enjoying the presence of someone else like you. ]

Yeah. You, too. [ and she hesitates, for just a second. but what does it matter? she's not a good girl. she doesn't have to be polite and evasive and refrain from voersharing. ] I tried to be nice and honest for a long time, but I think- it was sort of dishonest to do that at the same time? So just, being... me. Like this. It's nice.
counterfeitheart: (H0yChNs)

[personal profile] counterfeitheart 2018-05-27 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, right? Well, don't feel like you gotta be nice to me unless I earned it.

[He only has a want to be human because well. He's got quite the opposite experience of her. Born to be a devil, that way his whole life, and then when he becomes human he tries so hard to be hated, only to be loved instead.]

Or I mean, whatever. You can be a bitch to me if you're in a bad mood, or just bitch at me, hahah. I ain't really worried about it.
wingstosee: (smilingsoft)

[personal profile] wingstosee 2018-05-28 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly, I'd only be mean to you if you'd earned it? Not being nice is too much effort for someone who doesn't deserve it.

[ maybe that's weird. it's a little weird to think about, even for her. but it's true - not being nice, being forward and saying when something hurts her and telling him if he's wrong - those are things she'd never do for someone she didn't trust. ]

But maybe I will. And- you can, too. To me. Okay?
counterfeitheart: (12253157)

[personal profile] counterfeitheart 2018-05-28 09:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... Thanks, Venus.

[It was pretty comfortable, actually. Weirdly comfortable, just having someone that he felt like he didn't really have to perform around, even if... he was still performing. It was just one that he fell more naturally to.

For a fleeting moment, he wondered how she would be if she saw him as he actually was. Probably not terribly impressed. Probably a little disappointed. Lucifer wasn't much like him at all, but years of your best and only friends being nothing more than backstabbing, murderous monsters will do that to a guy.]


I appreciate it. Really.
wingstosee: (secondchances)

[personal profile] wingstosee 2018-05-30 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ probably accepting. you don't become the devil without having seen a few bad things, right? so even on a more cosmic scale, she'd get it. maybe not immediately, maybe not if she thought too hard about it, but- she'd get it. ]

Haha. I'm glad. [ and with a tiny push of her wings, she stops leaning against the wall and stands up straight. ] I'll see you around, okay? Maybe when I figure out that devil club thing. I'll find you.
counterfeitheart: (H0yChNs)

[personal profile] counterfeitheart 2018-05-31 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[A part of him hoped she'd never have to. It was foolish to think that, but he did really hope. He may think she knows who he is, but he was certain she'd never met him before.]

Sounds like a plan. Keep me updated! I've got my ear out for ya.
