( 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.

[And of course luck would dictate that the mess of blood-like fluid splashes down at 2B's feet just as she turns a corner, stopping where she is and looking very displeased.

Well, as displeased as you can look with a blindfold on, because of course the first thing she did was fasten it around her eyes again.]


Stop that. [She either means the bleeding or the swearing. Maybe both.] The humans here are already disturbed enough without your help.

[She can't just stop bleeding, 2B! Not when she's missing an arm!!!

But A2 does, however, shut her stupid mouth, because what the actual fuck.

And then, without any form of tact, because it's A2:
]

Aren't you supposed to be dead?

[personal profile] historyrepeating 2018-05-06 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
So were you, weren't you?

[Just to try to help the whole... blood thing, 2B takes hold of the right sleeve of her jumpsuit and tears downward, rending the fabric apart between her fingers and fashioning a very quick kind of field bandage.]

Hold still.

[She's doing this for the humans and less for A2, but her hands are gentle enough when she steps forward and reaches out to start to wind the fabric around the leaking stump of A2's arm.]

[A2 crinkles her nose, but she doesn't protest the field dressing.]

No. Somehow, I still remain alive despite everything. [She scoffs.] You, however, I distinctly remember killing.
historyrepeating: (and my voice never reaches)

[personal profile] historyrepeating 2018-05-20 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Keep that to yourself.

[It comes with a rough pull as she ties the ends of the bandage together, and she looks up at A2 with a serious expression, lips in a tight, thin line. Her eyes may be covered by her visor, but there's no mistaking that classic 2B frown.]

9S is here. He doesn't need to know, and neither do any of the humans. They won't understand that what you did was necessary.

[Is she worried about someone getting mad and taking it out on A2?

No, not really, it'd just be a big hassle, but hey, a miscommunication about feelings can't be that bad.]
a2brutus: (004)

[personal profile] a2brutus 2018-05-20 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[A2 scoffs, making her displeasure known loudly, but she still doesn't fight it.]

I'll do what I want. What the hell are you doing back from the dead? And what do you mean 9S is here?
historyrepeating: (Default)

[personal profile] historyrepeating 2018-05-23 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't explain the first part and I shouldn't have to explain the second. 9S is here, just like you are. Why is that hard to believe?

[She's taking her hands away now, after making sure that the bleeding has, for the most part, stopped.]
a2brutus: (009)

[personal profile] a2brutus 2018-05-23 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah but ITS FREAKING A2 OUT. ]

Are you serious? How many more of you YoRHa goons are around here?
