» WHO? everyone

» WHERE? all over the station
» WHAT? introductory log feat. waking up, exploration, meeting over food and noises in the walls
» 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.

Ah. Just the two planets, there's not more? [ It garners a look of surprise, humans inhabit countless planets, and Alex gave no mention of non-humans. He makes a committal noise, he'll take his word on that. ] Earth is green, Mars is not.
Jedha is... it's a desert moon, but it's mostly known for the holy city - NiJedha, which is where I'm from. Back in the old days it was a place where people came from all across the galaxy, to visit the temples there. Now it's not -- now it's -- [ It's a rush of cold water, the memories of the sun being blocked out by debris, and the ground rising up to the sky. There had been too much to deal with, no time to stop and breathe or grieve for all that they'd lost before setting off to Scarif. ]
Now it doesn't matter what it was like because it's gone. The Empire destroyed it.
[ And it's all my fault. He lets his head thunk against the cold metal of the door, wanting nothing more than to rail on something. ]
no subject
He'd grown up while Mars still ran nuclear raid drills in their classrooms. They'd been waiting for the bombs to fall for a long time. So it's not as surprising as it should be, to hear about a city being nuked.
Especially not when Mars and Earth were threatening to do it to each other right now.
But he felt incredibly guilty, all of a sudden, for his choice of topic. He reached out, putting his good hand on Bodhi's shoulder, palm warm as it rested there.]
... I'm sorry.
[There wasn't anything else he could say.]
no subject
's okay. [ He didn't know, couldn't have. The reminder of the still too fresh guilt and pain was there, though - and perhaps when he was free of the door he'd find a place to be alone with that, for a bit. ]
So much for a first impression. Sorry.
[ He relaxes his shoulders a fraction of an inch - another tug, this time done more out of. Trying to change the subject. ]
Force, I miss having feeling in my hands.
no subject
Hell, even thinkin' about the Mariner Valley gettin' nuked is more than enough to get me upset - I ain't going to hold it against you.
[He glanced at Bodhi's hands, still frowning.]
Shouldn't be too much longer. You're alright, you'll be out in no time.
no subject
Instead he glances up at Alex. ]
Tell me about your crew? Your ship?
no subject
Not sure how much of it'll mean anythin' to you, but. Me and my crew all used to work on the Canterbury, which lugged ice from Saturn back to the Belt. Except Prax, anyway, he joined us later.
But me, Amos, Naomi and Holden - we ended up together after the Canterbury was destroyed, and we were the only people who got off it. A hell of a lot happened after that, but we ended up in a Martian gunship - and partner, she is a beautiful ship. Called her the Rocinante when we had to change the transponder.
[ He looked a little wistful. ]
She's the most beautiful ship I've ever flown - smooth as silk and sharp as a razor. Handles like she can feel your thoughts before your hand even touches the controls.
no subject
[ Otherwise, he listens - getting the feeling that Alex and his crew were close, having gone through a lot together. In the way that he would have liked to feel about the members of Rogue One, had he been given the chance.
But he's not thinking about that now. It's the description of the ship that has some of the worry at last sliding from his face. He looks almost excited to hear it all. ]
Wow... that sounds, like a great ship indeed. I'm guessing that you're the pilot, yeah? [ Just judging from the glowing remarks, it sounds like a very pilot thing to say about their ship. ] I'm a pilot too. Or I was before I ... [ nope, not died ] I defected -- but, only a cargo pilot. My shuttle wasn't half as impressive, really.
no subject
[It also had 50 souls aboard it, when it had been destroyed. But he didn't clarify that part. He also didn't mention Shed. It was too long and depressing a story, for right now. He was trying to keep Bodhi's spirits up, not drag them down.]
Tha's right. Pilot and gunner, technically. [ He lights up a little when Bodhi says that he's also a pilot, a smile coming to his face. ]
Hey - ain't that a coincidence? Think that makes you and me, partner, out of the whole damn station. We ever find a way off this hunk of scrap, think you'll find that your skill set is going to get pretty damn impressive, pretty quickly. [The words finally trickled in, though, and a slight look of confused crossed his face. ]
Wait - defected? From what? [ Though maybe to what was the more important question right now... ]
no subject
We've got that. Now we just need to find the way off, yeah? Maybe that planet below us. If only we could find a hangar or ships instead of locked doors.
[ It'd been one of the first places he'd gone to find.
At Alex's question, he hesitates, eyes skittering away to somewhere over the other man's shoulder. ] I was working with some... not good people. But I couldn't continue doing what they were asking me, someone gave me a chance to make things right and I took it.
[ Maybe eventually he'll feel like he can tell the whole story. Even if Alex isn't from the same place as him. But as of now, it's all a little fresh and -- Bodhi looks a little surprised. ]
I think the door is melting again.
no subject
We've been tryin'. No damn luck so far, but that ain't gonna stop us.
[ He went quiet as he listened, mouth pulling down into a frown. He felt bad for asking, despite the face that his curiosity was only growing, and he tried to think of a way to phrase his question-- when Bodhi looked surprised and started talking again. Immediately, Alex stepped back and out of the way.]
Quick! Pull 'em out!
no subject
[ Sorry Alex. He seems like a good guy and all, and ... he's only just met him, but Bodhi doesn't want him to think badly of him. If he knew how much of a coward he'd been, and how long it took to do the right thing... ]
You don't need to tell me twice. [ Without hesitating, he pulls his arms out, the door solidifying the moment he's free. Breathing deeply, he stares at it before turning a wide eyed look toward Alex. ]
Whoa...
[ He slumps to the side, careful not to lean against the door. ]
no subject
You alright?
no subject
Is he? Bodhi smiles, still a bit unfocused. ]
I've got my arms back. I'm alright.
[ And that's something, right now. ]
no subject
An' all in one piece. [ He offers a smile. ]
You did good. Kept your cool.
