» 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.

"I was frozen in 1945. It took them almost 70 years to find me and thaw me out." Which is a small miracle in and of itself. "By then, everyone was texting and society was a completely different place."
At first, he had resented the changes, but he'd come around eventually. "If you need some judgment-free help learning how to use anything, feel free to ask me. I've been there, myself."
no subject
How did they thaw him?
Erik clears his throat and tries to push aside all these questions, as they would be quite rude to ask. "The technical aspect isn't of that much concern to me. It's more of the linguistic standards I'm concerned about. Does one include a greeting and a closing in a text message? From what I've seen of the network, they tend not to include salutations."
no subject
"Most people treat it like a conversation. Unless it's someone you'd normally be more formal with, it's pretty informal and you can type exactly the way you'd speak to the person. Sometimes people open a conversation with a small greeting, but you don't have to and if you sign it, people will make fun of you. I learned that the hard way." He smiles, clearly amused with himself. "You can usually send pictures, too, and sometimes people use shorthand, but I still can't keep most of that straight. LOL means they think something is funny, but it usually isn't."
no subject
"Send pictures," he repeats quietly, musing to himself as he looks at the device. He looks at Steve again. "El-oh-- Is that an acronym? What does it mean?"
no subject
"Don't worry. I went through a solid year of being made fun of over this stuff. Real friends eventually let you in on the joke." He shakes his head. "While finding new and different ways to call you old."
no subject
The comment about "real friends" stings in ways Steve certainly didn't intend. The number of people he'd consider a friend is very, very short. And he's not entirely certain they would agree with the assessment. "My friends are contemporaries. They wouldn't know any better than I do. Although some of the younger ones would prove more adaptable, I suppose."
Another sting. Darwin would have thrived here.
no subject
"Well, if any of them show up here, maybe you can teach them." It's not out of the realm of possibility here. Steve's got Bucky and Wanda. It seems like there are others who've wound up here with people they know. It's not an experience he'd wish on anyone, but he's thankful he's here with them to keep them safe.
no subject
He finishes his "tea" and as much of the oatmeal-like substance as he's able to convince himself to eat. "In the meantime, if I find myself stymied by any more acronyms, I'll ask you first." He gives something of a smile. Better to keep his ignorance to is peers, or the closest to that he can find.
