( 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.

[ the fingers twitch at his side, like he's considering doing something regrettable. the satisfaction of putting this child in his place would be fleeting, he tells himself. the consequences dire enough to be inconvenient.

he settles then on a brisk, if annoyed: ]
No. [ and continues following the sound. ]

[personal profile] merging 2018-05-19 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Then tell me we're not gonna have any problems here, whoever you are. Maybe the Empire's fallen, maybe you're not a Sith, maybe I'm actually the last Jedi. But I know what- ... I know what people like us are capable of.

[He's still following behind him throughout all this.]

I'll leave you alone, but. I don't want anyone getting hurt.

I wasn't the one that came charging in, flinging accusations. [ irritation, now. sharp, biting.

Ezra had offended him. ]
merging: (10.)

[personal profile] merging 2018-05-21 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
... Sorry. [He sighs, feeling pretty stupid now.] I guess I'm just used to things going differently? More like lightsaber duels, you know. But you're not trying to kill me, even if you did sorta threaten me? I mean. Whatever, I haven't been great either.

I don't know who or what you are, but I do want us to get along, whatever that means.

[personal profile] warfares 2018-05-21 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't make threats. [ simple, matter of fact. if he'd wanted Ezra dead, he'd be dead. ]

Interesting. [ a note of humor, perhaps. certainly with a liberal sprinkling of skepticism. ] I have no quarrel with you.
merging: (05.)

[personal profile] merging 2018-05-21 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Then let's start over. Just talk like normal people. I already told you my name.

[For now, he's not gonna argue with any of that, since that's getting him nowhere.]

What's yours?

[personal profile] warfares 2018-05-24 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
Ren. [ again, the simplest answer. pulling out the whole title seems both pretentious and unnecessary.

Ezra has no reason to know who he is, what it means. ]


You're young for a Knight.
merging: (11.)

[personal profile] merging 2018-05-24 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
No relation to Clan Wren of House Vizsla I'm guessing?

[If he was Mandalorian, Ezra figures he would've been dead the moment he opened his mouth.]

Faced a lot of trials early on. Ezra Bridger, Padawan learner doesn't roll off the tongue as easy either.

[It's hard to be a Padawan without a master too.]

[ Field promotion, then. Not entirely uncommon, he imagines, given the time. ]

Noㅡ [ he holds up a hand, halting their progress a moment, head canting.

Then, after a moment continues onward before taking a sharp right. ]
My family is Alderaanian. [ take a moment to absorb that, but only a moment because those long legs eat up ground quickly and he's never been the sort to linger. ]

And padawan has never rolled easily off the tongue. [ not that apprentice is much better, honestly. ]
merging: (07.)

[personal profile] merging 2018-05-25 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. I mean, that's cool too? You know I once met the princess of Alderaan?

[He's glad he's at least taller than her now, even if his legs aren't as long as this guy's. Still, he manages to keep up pretty well what with the Force and other things.]

She's nice. Uh... really capable. Which you probably know since you're from Alderaan.

[Ezra wants to ask, were you one? But he holds himself back, since he's already got a name and a place.]

[ ㅡa brief tensing, gaze cutting toward Ezra, eyes narrowing slightly. ]

Leia Organa. [ his thoughts roll back to what Ezra had mentioned earlier. Something about Lothal ㅡ when had his mother been to Lothal? ] You've met her?
merging: (05.)

[personal profile] merging 2018-05-25 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah?

[... that's not exactly the reaction he expected, but given everything else, maybe the unexpected should be expected.]

She came to my world on a relief mission. I know her father too. They do a lot of good for the galaxy so... I guess you could say I'm pretty grateful for them both, and for Alderaan's help.
