( 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.

[So, she needs to go ahead and prepare herself to carry Ryuji to the infirmary in the case that he may hurt himself. Perfect.]

I know that, but! [She sighs, she can't change his mind anyways.]

Please try not to hurt yourself then.
ryuji: (323)

[personal profile] ryuji 2018-05-20 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[He'll be okay! Maybe. Probably not. As long as there's some medical supplies, he can slowly heal himself back to good standing, and with all the time in the world drifting along in space with nothing better to do, who cares?

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?

[personal profile] mapsio 2018-05-21 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Look, she told him this was a really ill-advised idea. But when did Ryuji ever listen to having a sensible idea? 0 out of 10 times, never.

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!]
ryuji: (018)

[personal profile] ryuji 2018-05-22 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Once the terror subsides-]

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.]
mapsio: (Default)

[personal profile] mapsio 2018-05-22 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
You certainly look like you are having a grand time up there.

[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!]
ryuji: (256)

[personal profile] ryuji 2018-05-22 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[He hangs both of his arms downward so that there's more leverage for her to grab onto something.]

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.
mapsio: (Default)

[personal profile] mapsio 2018-05-24 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[She reaches up, grabbing his hands and pulling. Well, she would just have to be prepared for Ryuji to plummet to the ground now, right? Right.

She's tugging, and preparing....
]

Try not to hit your head, okay!?

[This is where we insert a praying hands emoji.]
ryuji: (058)

[personal profile] ryuji 2018-05-26 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[And there's this beautiful moment where Haru pulls him down from the cloud of space ghost shenanigans, and it's like an equal force is pulling him back. Almost completely out of a shitty romcom movie, and he's living for it.]

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.
mapsio: (Default)

[personal profile] mapsio 2018-05-28 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Had he not come down so quickly, trust and believe she would have responded to his prompting.]

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?
ryuji: (019)

[personal profile] ryuji 2018-05-28 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[All the confidence in the world, and yet, still... Haru patting him on the back makes him feel like he wasn't all that bright to begin with. Which elicits a laugh out of his vulgar mouth.]

I think me and the floor are gonna start going steady pretty soon. What are my chances of asking it out?

[The coolness of it does feel rather good against his cheek.]

For..uh... research reasons, of course.
mapsio: (haru 3)

[personal profile] mapsio 2018-05-30 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[There, there. Her pat was meant for nothing more than gentle encouragement and gentle reassurance. That was a pretty hard smack to the ground after all.]

Your chances are probably not that great if you land on the floor with that amount of force. Be a little more gentle?

[She's giggling, sorry.]
ryuji: (363)

[personal profile] ryuji 2018-05-31 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[His eyes go wide.

Getting dating advice from Haru? This is absolutely a new direction in his life. He rolls his shoulder, moving to his side.]


So tell me... what do floors like? Don't be rough with 'em. Do they like to be cleaned? How about dates? Where are you s'posed to take them? How long do I gotta wait until I can get to 1st base?

[STOP????]
mapsio: (Default)

[personal profile] mapsio 2018-06-02 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
I think you hit your head a little too hard, Ryuji-kun. Perhaps I should take you straight to the infirmary where they can look at your head?

[Haru's dating advice, "you hit your head too hard".]

Besides, don't you want to find a nice carpeted floor?
ryuji: (170)

[personal profile] ryuji 2018-06-03 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Hell no. That would mean sitting around in a hospital bed for hours with nothing to do.]

Hell no.

[There's a really absurd joke that can be made about a carpeted vs. uncarpeted floor, but Ryuji isn't that abhorrently disgusting to make it in front of Haru. STILL... it gets jostled up in his mind and he smirks at himself.]

I'll take... uh... any floor that'll love me back.

[It's true.

Please, someone. Anyone.

Ryuji, love yourself.]
mapsio: (Default)

[personal profile] mapsio 2018-06-03 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[She will thank him greatly for not making that reference, actually. Though surely she would have understood it.

She ends up sitting next to him on the floor.
]

In the meantime, you know you have a wonderful group of friends who love you, right?
ryuji: (126)

[personal profile] ryuji 2018-06-03 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Which...

makes him blush furiously. So much so, that it makes him bring the neck of his jumpsuit over his mouth, trying to turtle up in it. He loves you guys too, he's just shit at explaining himself or his inner emotions.

Probably better to let him writhe like a worm.]


I...

[God, is she going to make him do this?

He already had to do it once with Ren, and that was More Than Enough for a lifetime.]


I couldn't be where I am today without you. I guess what I'm tryin' to say here is that....

[He has so??? many emotions???]

You guys give me purpose in life.
mapsio: (Default)

[personal profile] mapsio 2018-06-05 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[She wouldn't have forced him, certainly not. But she always wants to reassure him and make sure he knows what a loving support system surrounding him.]

I feel the very same, you know. I just don't know what kind of person I would be without all of you. It's good not to forget those things, right?

[She gives him a small smile.]
