( 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.

9S insists that people call him Nines, but there's nothing like that that goes with my designation.

[She's saying that because Tee Be H almost sounded like a nickname and no thank you, please pick something better if you've got to call her a pet name. If she notices his awkwardness she doesn't say anything about it, but her hand in his is soft and warm, not at all like someone might imagine an android to be, and she decides that she doesn't mind this, holding hands this way.]

Tube.

[Hell, it comes almost naturally.

They're near the door to his room, though (thank god, he doesn't know how much more of this intensity he can actually take)- and he turns to smile at 2B cheekily.]


Get it? Two-buh. So. Tube?

No?

Okay, it's not that great.

[personal profile] historyrepeating 2018-06-03 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a good thing that he dials it back, really, because he's a human and she's not really in a place to deny him all that much. If he wanted to call her Tube she might actually let him get away with it.

For like a day.

Because that was really bad.]


You did better than I expected anyone to be able to.

[Tube is, after all, a real word. Good job Ryuji. She looks back at him, though, despite the fact that her eyes are covered up by her visor, and returns his smile with one of her own. It's small, clearly not used that often, but it's not that difficult to smile in the face of a real, living human.]

Would you be willing to tell me about your life? Most of the data we have is- confusing, without context.
ryuji: (044)

[personal profile] ryuji 2018-06-03 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wait, Nines is a real word too!!! Like, getting dressed to the nines. It's a perfectly valid nickname. Just as valid as Tubes. And probably, Achoo, if he puts his mind to it somewhere down the road when thinking about giving a moniker to A2. Yeah, he'll just... tuck that one away for later. A2 is far more likely to go against it. The lady doth always seem to protest.]

So... you come from a future where there's not much of us around?

[It's pretty obvious that humanity fucked up somewhere along the way.]

Yeah, come on in. I'll answer whatever questions you got about us. Or... uh, me. If you're interested in knowin' about that shit, too.

Aliens came to earth and wiped most of you out. The ones who are left are living on a base on the moon until we androids can purge the Earth of the machines the aliens left behind.

[You know, because that's a normal thing to tell someone.]

As a YoRHa Battle unit, I've been on the front lines wiping them out and working to make Earth more hospitable. There are more animals now than there were before, so I'd hoped...

[That there would be a chance she'd see the first humans walk on Earth again herself, but there's little chance of that now.]
ryuji: (186)

[personal profile] ryuji 2018-06-04 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[Well... there's that. Ryuji should be a little bit more exasperated, a little more incredulous- but he just doesn't know what to say. Aliens? Probably.]

Kinda thought that we'd be the ones to wipe ourselves out, actually.

[That's a little more deep than what's par for the course when it comes to him. The part though... about humans living on the moon. Is that even possible?]

So, uh...

You know there's no water on the moon, right? And like. No food either. How... [He realizes it's not a very smart question to ask, and stops himself from going further in reconnaissance into 2B's future world. Maybe they learned to terraform or something. Who knows how good science gets as times goes on?]

You'd hope?
