» WHO? everyone

» 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.

b
She could count a couple of times that Ryuji has looked less than graceful in front of her,but tripping out of nowhere is a new one even to her. From the time it takes her to turn around to offer him a hand getting up he's in her personal space and she's flinching out of surprise— geez.]
Possessed? What are you going on about? Are you okay?
[It looks like she didn't hear the same thing.]
no subject
Yeah m'kay, but like. [He looks back at the wall like he's about to go fight it personally.]
Yo. Walk over there and find out.
[Ryuji's ready to catch you if you do fall, though- poised and ready to be her landing pad if she's gotta.
COME ON OUT, ALIENS.
DEMONS.
GHOSTS.
WHATEVER.]
no subject
But she isn't going alone, she will be making sure Ryuji is behind her when she approaches this wall.]
Hmm...
[Hopefully Ryuji is ready for this trust fall he's about to endure, because Haru experiences the exact same thing.]
A-ah, sorry! Sorry!
[She totally landed on Ryuji, she probably took him down with her...didn't she?]
no subject
....
....
Okay.
Anyway, not thinking anything of it, he rubs grimaces, rubs his head and sighs outward. At least the suspicions were confirmed. He was right. This place is as spoopy as a haunted house with live action players that jump out and scare you.]
It's... It's okay. Are you. Are you okay? [He tries to help the both of them up, closing one eye as he notices a really important thing---]
I think I broke my ass.
no subject
She should feel more embarrassed, but she's past that point with really any of the Phantom Thieves. Spills happen. She's going get herself up along with him, accepting any leverage he gives her.]
I'm fine, nothing too serious.
[She gives him a glance, eyebrow raised.] You think or you know? In any case, I'm so sorry.
[Because she was the one that got thrown into him! IF SHE BROKE HIS ASS SHE WILL FEEL SO BAD.]
no subject
[Even if it did hurt, he wasn't going to tell Haru. Somewhere deep down, he knew that she'd blame herself and feel bad about it, and Ryuji... doesn't really care about himself as much as he cares about her.
He can't wait until Ren finds out he's going to have trouble sitting for the next day or so, or the comments about it that will follow.]
You felt it though, right? Like somethin' was barreling into ya.
[This feels like a freaking palace. But it's not. What is going on with this place? His eyes narrow as he stretches his posture upward a little bit to see in the area that they had both encountered. No signs of life. So...]
PER....SONA!
[And then, when nothing comes, he deflates a little bit and falls back to his eternal slouch.]
Guess that's a bust, huh. Shit, we can't even use our powers here! What about you!?
no subject
[She would blame herself, and even she would rather Ryuji be truthful with her... well there was nothing she could do if he didn't tell her.
At least it will provide some type of comic relief somewhere!]
I did, and reminded me of being in a palace.
[The unexplained happening could only be because this is someone cognitive version of the world, right? She takes a step back herself, taking a deep breath.]
Milady!
[Nothing comes.] I don't like this.
no subject
[Which makes everything so, so much worse. If this is reality, and the reality Ryuji last remembers leaving behind is the one where both the cognitive and actual merged into one hyper-being, then it really makes him think that maybe they did fail.
Like the communicator messages that were going through was somehow linked back to what they did, or something. Which is ludicrous, considering the sheer number of people that were on board the station.]
And that means...
We're totally screwed.
no subject
[It's a legitimate concern, what if they did fail? What if they can't go back and fix everything? It makes Haru's stomach turn. She doesn't want to think about all of that.]
For lack of better words, I think you may be right.
[If they can't use their Persona's. They really are stuck up a creek without a paddle.]
no subject
Ryuji refuses to accept that. He knows the Phantom Thieves of Hearts better than that. Something else must have happened between the time they stepped out of the prison of consciousness and the moment they stepped up towards the stairway to their corrupted heaven. How many times have they been knocked back? How many times did they have to pick themselves up, reform like earthworms that had been cut down the middle?
No. It's not acceptable. It's just a set back. And they're gonna figure this shit out, too.]
We're just gonna have to be more careful, then, right? C'mon, let's see if we can find out where this BULLSHIT is comin' from.
no subject
[She feels a little renewed after hearing Ryuji get amped back up. She doesn't want to doubt her friends, she doesn't want to doubt the Phantom Thieves! So she won't. They have to keep getting back up and keep fighting. It doesn't matter the situation.
Persona or no Persona. They were here, and they were together. There is nothing that they can't accomplish as a team.]
I agree wholeheartedly! Let's figure this out!
no subject
Where the hell do we even begin? You think there's something in the walls or the ceiling?
[Whatever you do, don't go back over there. There's only so many times Ryuji can break his ass in one given day. He wearily eyes her to make sure that she's not approaching closer.]
I'm gonna try kicking it.
[What? This is... such a bad... idea, why, Ryuji?]
no subject
[She points to the ceiling.]
Please don't hurt yourself!
[THIS IS THE WORST IDEA, SHE SAID CEILING!]
no subject
But this.
Oh.
Okay?
Ceiling?]
I... [He raises an eyebrow at her.]
Okay. OKAY... I know how I'm gonna do it. I make a running jump at the wall and then parkour a kick up to the paneling up there. Easy peasy.
[Good lord, no. Don't be this stupid.]
no subject
She gives him the most unimpressed stare she can manage.]
You know, Ryuji-kun, we're friends so I feel as if you and I can be honest with one another.
[She doesn't give him time to even process that before:]
That is a really really bad idea.
no subject
Good thing I'm into those.
[Like that time he nearly killed himself getting them out of Shido's palace. No risk, no gain.
He backs up a bit, needs a little bit of momentum to get this going.]
'Sides. This place looks like it's beggin' to fall apart anyway.
no subject
I know that, but! [She sighs, she can't change his mind anyways.]
Please try not to hurt yourself then.
no subject
Haru does, though, and he sees it in her features, in her words, and in her heart. Ryuji smiles back at her, trying to reaffirm that it'll all be okay.]
Trust me, alright? I'm the team tank.
[Life isn't AN MMORPG RYUJI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING????
Aaaand, he's off. Making a running jump for the wall, he presses up against it with his (good) foot and uses it as a breaking point to propel himself up for a roundhouse kick to the ceiling----]
PARRKOU----
[And floats in mid air for a few seconds, upside down.
What the fuck, ghost station, what the hell are you doing?]
A...A----AHHH?
WHAT THE HELL?
no subject
So she watches as he backs himself up, watches through her fingers as he takes a running jump....and hang upside down for a while.
Oh gracious.]
Ryuji-kun, are you quite all right?
[She's guessing no!]
no subject
OH, YEAH. I'M FINE. JUST HANGIN' OUT WITH MY BEST FRIEND.
[This is a really, really sad state of affairs- one that he doesn't want to be in. The station's got jokes. Real fucked up jokes.]
Yo, uh...
[Whatever you do, DO NOT MENTION THAT YOU CAN SEE CLEAVAGE IN UPSIDE DOWN SPACE.]
Can you pull on my shoulders or somethin' and get me the hell outta this?
[Good boy.]
no subject
[She watches him for a moment before stepping forward.]
I can certainly try.
[How high up is he anyways? Can she even reach? She isn't that tall, Ryuji!]
no subject
How about lendin' me a hand?
[Okay, these puns aren't helping the situation. Time to switch gears.]
I think the blood's startin' to rush to my head.
Whooo-eee.
Hey, the world looks kinda weird upside down.
no subject
She's tugging, and preparing....]
Try not to hit your head, okay!?
[This is where we insert a praying hands emoji.]
no subject
Don't let go!!!
[It was a prompt for "I'll never let go!" - but it doesn't really take that much more effort as the cloud of energy releases him and he comes safely back down to the ground.
And be safely, -9.8m/s2 with a scrawny teenage boy letting go of Haru really quick to push himself away from the ground so that he actually does what he's told and NOT hit his head straight on.]
Unf...
God...
[Lays on the floor face down.]
Let's not try to take the ship apart anymore.
no subject
I won't say "I told you not to do that", but, well... you get the implication here.
[She will crouch down next to him, patting him on the back.]
Are you okay?
