» 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.

[She looks at him again, had he not told her... she would have thought him to be a human just like her.]
And your job is to survey certain areas?
no subject
[9S' lips twist into a wry expression, his brow furrowing again.]
So if you're not from the Resistancec or YoRHa, where are you from?
no subject
[Her own brow furrows. Ending up on a space station that wasn't the cognitive way a person thought of the world, that was a new one to her.]
Earth? Tokyo?
[She seems unsure of how to answer the question.]
no subject
Who built you?
no subject
[I mean, no one built her in the android building sense!]
I'm human, so no one built me, is what I meant to say.
no subject
[9S stares in slack-jawed disbelief.]
You're...human? You can't be human. [He raises his hand, pressing it to his forehead.] W...was I sent to the human base on the Moon?
no subject
[Him being an android surprises her. She doesn't actually know of any android herself?] Humans live on the moon where you come from?
no subject
[He places his left over his chest in a salute.] Glory to mankind!
no subject
So in return? She bows at him, just shallowly.]
Glory to mankind? I don't think I have ever heard that phrase used before, I apologize. Am I really the first human you have ever met?
no subject
[He swallows and recomposes himself, standing up straight.]
It's the truth. You're the first human I've ever met, or spoken to, or anything... And you're so beautiful too!
no subject
[She takes it in that she is the first human that he has ever met, something that back at home she may not have believed. The Earth was full of humans. But everyone here? They come from different places, different times.
She can't discredit him, even as color is rising to her cheeks.]
I appreciate it. But really I suppose I am more shocked by the fact that I am the first human you have ever met. What...what happened to the humans of your world?
no subject
[It doesn't feel right for a human to address him with an honorific... He's the grunt!]
Well, in 5012 AD the aliens invaded Earth with their machines, and the remaining humans fled to the Moon... We've been fighting them ever since.
no subject
[Haru was just used to calling people with honorifics. Dropping them was a sign of a deepened friendship or relationship to her. So mostly, habit.]
5012? Oh, dear... it is hardly that year where I come from. So the humans all moved to the moon because of the machines?
[She is taking all of this information like a champ at least?! Like she isn't disbelieving him?]
no subject
Wait, what do you mean? What year are you from?
no subject
[Which, granted! She thought was pretty normal.]
You come from so far in the future.
no subject
[Far older than even the alien invasion. He shakes his head a bit, just trying to put an image to the year--or at least the century.]
Yeah, and I'm not even from the year 5012 AD. That was nearly 7,000 years ago.
no subject
[This is sort of blowing her mind. How does she really put that into words?]
Can you tell me more about the time you come from?
no subject
[It's all pretty crazy for him too!]
I can, but it's pretty bleak for you humans... Are you sure you really want to know?
no subject
[Learning experience time!]
no subject
[9S' lips pull into a line. He was curious by nature, so he understood that feeling, but this is the first time he's considered that indulging that curiosity might not be a good idea.]
We androids have been at war with the machines ever since the invasion. Most of the remnant of human society have been destroyed by now...
[He can't leave it at that.]
But one day, the humans will be able to return to Earth! We YoRHa will make sure of it.
no subject
[She blinks, curious of course.]
I apologize for all the questions.
no subject
...Of course. [That's what he's supposed to say, and that's what he wants to believe.]
No need to apologize, Haru. I'm happy to help. Anyway, I think I better try and figure out where we are... Do you have somewhere safe you can stay?
no subject
[She smiles at him. Knowing full and well that she thinks that 9S and the rest of the androids from his world could pull off what they are attempting to pull off.]
Thank you again for answering so many of my questions.
no subject
[He smiles in earnest, and then walks her down to the end of the hall as per her request. After that, they'll take their separate ways.]
