» WHO? everyone

» WHERE? all over the station
» WHAT? introductory log feat. waking up, exploration, meeting over food and noises in the walls
» WARNINGS? potential for body horror, psychological horror, hallucinations, physical injury
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.
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. )
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.
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.
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.

[9S corrects him, expression wry as he inspects the wall. 9S runs his hand over it, through the grooves and back again. None of it provides any answers, or any comfort.]
I don't think it's that sim-- [Before he can even finish, another scream rips through the station. 9S jerks his hand back as if from a flame, his breathing heavy and eyes wide.]
There has to be a way to help them!
no subject
[He's watched enough sci-fi movies to know what that means, but... is he serious? He doesn't really look or act like a robot, or anything -
And then there's another scream. Fuck. Alarm and adrenaline races through Akira's veins, prickling along his skin as the hairs along the back of his neck stood on end.] Oh, fuck this.
[He should know better than this, but someone's in trouble, so he decides to ignore his better judgment.
A keen eye would notice that the skin on his right hand seemed to cloud and grow dark, a sort of blueish-gray, the tips of his fingers sharpening into razor-like claws. With 9S having stepped away from the wall, he lashes out at it, scoring a deep gouge in the metallic surface. He slashes a few more times, widening the cut, though he feels his progress slowing to a halt, stymied by a dense network of metal guts and wiring.
He growls, the sound low and dangerous in his throat. He shakes his hand, and it returns back to normal.] Well, shit. We ain't gettin' through this way. The inside of the wall's tougher than the outside.
[He seems more intent on what he'd been trying to do, utterly ignoring what he'd just done to try to accomplish it.]
no subject
...What the--? What are you?!
[The person he was talking to, the human he thought he was talking to... No humans could do something like that. The deep gouges that were left in the metal wall could have easily turn any human apart.]
no subject
Uhh.
[He looks at the wall, adrenaline draining away and allowing less-clouded eyes to see the damage he'd done to it. It looked like the sort of thing a bear might do to a tree. Yeah, it didn't look great, even though scrutiny would prove that both of his hands were perfectly normal and perfectly human now.
Fuck. Ryo's gonna kill him.]
Take it easy. [He spreads his hands in front of him in a disarming gesture.] It's - kind of a long story. But what matters is, in here, [his right hand clenches into a fist and he thumps on his chest, right over his heart,] I'm human. [He thinks for a moment and then continues.] You just said you're an android, right? So, like, your body's robotic or something. But you're talkin' to me like a person, so you gotta have somethin' that makes you think like a human, yeah? It's sorta the same thing.
