thirty-fifth jump;

CHARACTERS: Any and all.
LOCATION: Gravity Couches and beyond.
WARNINGS: Maybe some swearing, or even some violence, and more than likely some implied (and possibly explicit) nakedness.
SUMMARY: Another month, another jump, another round of new faces.
NOTES: You wake feeling cold and alone. There is a strange sense of emptiness, and the jump holds no surprises for you. There is nothing buffering the jump sickness and disorientation for you this month, and those still suffering the lingering effects of August's plot may find it more difficult than usual to get through the post-jump routine.

New arrivals will find messages spraypainted across their lockers telling them not to follow their tattoo numbers, and instead to find a room on Floors 001-010.


----------------


You wake up in darkness.


There's a breathing tube jammed down your trachea, and you're suspended in a tube of clear blue fluid. Upon registering your level of consciousness, the gravity couch drains the fluid surrounding you and retracts the breathing apparatus; the doors in front of you open, and you're deposited on the floor of a stark, sterile medical bay.

You are not alone.

There are others who have come before you, others who are awakening beside you. Some may be familiar to you, perhaps even friends. Others have much less amiable plans. Some are merely alien and inexplicable, but there are always those who might mean you harm.

After you catch your breath and your vision returns, you notice a number on the inside of your forearm. Maybe it's a familiar number. Maybe it means something. Maybe it's just a number. But the number—completely unique to you—is a tattoo, and it does not come off.

If you enter the room adjacent to the medbay, you will find a small locker with your number on it, surrounded by rows upon rows of identical lockers. Inside, you will find a few of your personal items, a communications device, and a ship's uniform in your exact size. The comms device is fully powered and connects directly to the ship's network; it's your only means of communication beyond physical conversation. Upon turning the device on, a neutral, automated voice will say, "Please take the blue lift to the passenger quarters." Any other attempts at communicating with the rest of the network are met only with static.

This is your welcome party.

( what the entire fresh fuck.

it takes her a few minutes to pull herself together enough to sit up off the floor, viscous fluid dripping from her body; how do you even react to something like that? you go to sleep in your own bed, in your own soft-worn buttondown and the faint smell of aftershave, and you wake up with a fucking tube in your throat, getting spat out onto the floor of...

ilde has heard stories about prometheus. she's remembering them as she stands up, slowly, but-- then she'd still be in the container, presumably. 'letting you wander around' isn't really the reported MO. so it's-- probably not that, unless...no, it doesn't look like an escape, either.

she isn't sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. )

( showering was a relief; she finds the locker that matches her number - OPR? one what? - after toweling herself dry, leans her hands against it and lets herself just breathe for a few moments before opening it. things are starting to feel familiar, like she's been here before, done this before, but it's...a lot to deal with. she isn't sure what exactly it is, but: a lot of it. whatever. she feels almost hungover, run down, and it takes her a while to match mind to movement, sifting through the locker's contents.

clothing. small mercies. gervase's research, his laptop - at least she doesn't have to fret about where it is and who's looking after it. her wedding rings - it felt odd, waking up bare-handed - go back where they belong, and she slides the pictures of her children in with gervase's work. her shoes get dropped to the floor with a clatter, and she toes them back in front of her, pulling her knickers on and trying to think straight.

any minute now, this is going to start making sense. )

( two things strike elizabeth, as she nears ilde's locker, her fingers tying off the last of her ribbons. one, she looks confused. two, she looks older. elizabeth pauses, unsure of what to do or say; it could just be a trick of the light, or her imagination. but her illness and her discord with cesare have not impeded her ability to read others. suddenly she is glad that she is dressed to the nines and that her hair has been meticulously styled as best as she might manage without a maidservant to do it.

if her friend is truly older by some magic this ship is capable of, then she would look her best to make a good impression in case she does not remember her. and how awkward would that be? her stomach lurches, nearly twisting at the idea. how many people will this ship or her own foolishness take from her? she has seen enough departures.

this time, if this friend does not remember her, she will endeavour to befriend her again. she cannot lose ilde, too. so elizabeth stands straight and tall, and approaches as gracefully as she might; which is far more so than she would were she not miserable, in all honesty. for all the world, it appears as though nothing is wrong with her. she offers the woman a small smile, and a gentle touch at the shoulder. )


Has the ship seen fit to supply you with vestments? If not, you may make use of some of mine.

( mila stands beneath the spray of water for much longer than necessary, face tilted up and eyes closed; the past month has worn her down to the bone, and there was a part of her that gave serious thought to just lying down beside her pod and refusing to move. can't be bothered. tired, sick of feeling sick, too much still to do-- fuck it.

she lingers under the water instead, and then when she shuts it off, stands there a little longer, remembering how to be herself. how straight her back always is, how purposeful her walk. the particular way that she holds herself up, the tilt of her chin and the way she doesn't fidget, just moves. when she's sure she's not going to disappoint herself, she reaches for her towel. )

( sam has also taken a good long shower. she is tired of feeling and looking gross, and has taken an extra care this time so that she at least resembles the maid she'd been before the blight hit, and everything else leading up to this rather nasty bout of plague. her skin might be red in a lot of places where she has scrubbed too hard, but otherwise she glows much more than she has in a while.

the difference being as healthy as she can be in her circumstances and having a full repository of mana makes! she exits the shower slowly, reaching a hand back to comb a hand idly through her hair before reaching for a towel. it is then that she notices mila not more than a few feet from her, and in relief a grin breaks across her face. )


You're looking lovely today. And well. ( mild flirtation aside, her smile softens more genuinely. ) I'm glad.

[ somehow, sally'd been hoping her mouth might be back to normal when she fell out of the pod this time around. she's not hurling anymore, she's not dizzy, she doesn't ache all over - and yet she's still got this big stupid mouth full of what she can only assume is supposed to be wolf teeth, which is not nearly as funny as a few hundred nanites seem to think it is. or... seemed to think it was. but the fact that they're dead now does absolutely nothing to make her feel better about it here and now, so it's with an abnormal lack of chatter that she's made her way through the showers and off to her locker, wrapped tight in a towel.

sally brushes her arm across the locker routinely, her head tilting to the side a little as she exhales a sigh through her nose. and now it's unlocked and she's pulling it open and -

retracting her hands sharply like it burned her. because now her locker's open and there's a face staring back, eyeless and toothless and limp - just a near-black pelt, not that she's paying much attention to that, because for a horrifying second it almost looked like a wolf.

sally realizes now that she's holding her breath, and she lets it out slow, tongue running hard over the points of her sharpest teeth as she resists the urge to say, "Yeah, okay," or anything even remotely similar in the dry 'whatever, man' kind of way, as if whoever put the thing in her locker's just waiting in the wings to see whether or not she freaks. her arms cross for a second, but that just reminds her that she's in a towel, so her arm slips in under the pelt to reach for her clothes.

What the hell is that?

[He's forgotten, perhaps only momentarily, that he was in something of an argument with Sally pre-jump, thanks to her decision to run off and give her blood away to the more freakish departments on board the Tranquility. Not that he's dwelling on that. Oh, he'll nurse some hurt feelings, for a time, but nothing that lasts. As the ship and its residents return to normal, so will the two of them. Arguments don't need grand apologies.

All of this was Sirius' general intent, at least--not so much a plan as a guideline to avoid having to actually say sorry for anything--but in passing by, he'd caught sight of Sally, and then he'd caught sight of the massive animal pelt hanging in her locker. That had been enough to get him to slow down, and then, right, to stare outright, because--]


That's not actually yours, is it.

[Pepper's bones are still glowing a bright reddish-orange as she falls to the floor with pod sickness. Her body wracking with the dry heaves that she's come to expect from every jump. She can feel the heat of her body starting to thicken and dry the goo on her and she knows it's going to be hard to scrub it off this time.]

Lockers

[For once Pepper is wearing the jump suit instead of her normal clothing. She's trying to cover her glowing bones and the heat. She's exhausted and hot and thankfully not getting sick anymore; it's just the superficial manifestation and she knows what it was trying to manifest. It's mimicking the alterations in her body from what Killian had done to her. Thankfully no questions had been asked yet, but the sooner she can get away from people and hide this the better. It's why she never went to the med bay before they found a cure.]

[What worries him most isn't being covered in blue shit - the dried blood on him and the idea of soy sauce in his veins is still way more gross. What worries him is that somehow Cassie never saw this coming. She was a crappy artist, but that pad of hers always had something to say about the future, and it never shied away from anything bad. He hits the floor hard, and he's naked, nauseated, and confused. Yeah, this is definitely bad.

But it doesn't feel like Division, not unless they've joined with the space program and are taking their human weapons to the stars. It feels like it could be something even worse, and Nick huffs a soft, humorless laugh at that one, until he starts coughing up god knows what.

Shit.

[You can quote him on that.]

l o c k e r s.
[So he has a new tattoo. It isn't his first, probably not his worst. At least this one seems to have a purpose beyond being a drunken mistake or a souvenir on his skin. Nick wanders along the rows of lockers, stopping at the one that's been designated as his. He gets a sick feeling for about a second, maybe from the big red message painted across it. But there's no way they could fit a thirteen year old in there, right?

He's relieved to find his clothes, even more relieved to find his gun. But one thing brings fresh worry to his mind.

Take an umbrella. It's gonna rain.

Not much chance of that here, but Nick still takes it out and opens it up, looking up at it. He sighs, slams the locker door with a thoughtless little curve of his fingers and proceeds to stare at those painted words. Follow the tattoos, don't follow the tattoos. It's gotta be one or the other, and frankly he doesn't know what the hell to believe.

[ she's exhausted, and the nausea is near-overwhelming. she feels alone, too, and empty, and none of those sensations really pass as she drags herself through the motions of showering, of getting dressed-- the jumps and the sensations post-jump are rarely benign and she's been around long enough to understand that they are probably induced by something on the ship rather than her actual physical and psychological state, but she is experiencing them and that makes them real, no matter that they might not actually come from her.

what it means is that she finds herself wanting to reach out, to make a connection. it's not quite making a difference, at least not in the way she usually tries, but while she's resting her forehead against her locker in a show of exhaustion and vulnerability that is atypical and that she'd like to say is unusual, too, but isn't given the way she's dragged herself through the corridors since the illness had hit, she picks up a thought and replies to it, almost immediately:
]

It's not going to rain. [ a beat, and she forces her head up to look at the man whose mind she'd just read, and then at her locker to take her primary weapon out of it, to settle the gun in its holster. ] Unless the ship's sprinklers malfunction.

Katrina!

[His wife's name is a strangled cry on his lips from the moment the pod spits him out. He feels nauseated, confused, but he gets his bearing sooner than most. For one good (or in this case, very bad) reason - he's been here before.]

No, no, no. This can't be.

[Ichabod repeats the word like a mantra or a prayer, though the latter would fall on deaf ears. He knows this ship, and he knows it to be God forsaken, far more likely to be under the other side's control. It is a Purgatory all its own, filled with lost souls just wanting to move on, wanting to repent for whatever sins they've committed and just go home.]

lockers.
[He isn't calm, not even when he finds his locker. The number is different this time. How odd, that life continues on here without them, when the very opposite seems to happen on their world while they're here.

Ichabod collects his things, thankful for the lack of skinny jeans this time. He slams the door shut, scowling dismissively at the act of vandalism across it, this supposed "warning".

Poppycock.

[ Lily isn't in a hurry, not now. The most urgent of health problems have been dealt with and people are now on the mend. She's sure she'll get busier again soon, but she's also taken to combing through the pods and lockers every jump, looking for people she knows probably won't be there.

She hears Ichabod as she passes though—the locker slamming—and it stills her long enough to see what it is he's calling poppycock, exactly. She almost smiles, but really it stops with a small upward lift to the corners of her mouth. Her eyes still look tired. ]


Most people have migrated to those floors, but I know that some have stayed on in their originally assigned rooms anyway. Safety in numbers was the idea, I believe.

[personal profile] wolfchild 2014-09-08 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ the first golf club is removed from the locker carefully. arya stares at it like she expects it to grow spikes or explode or something. it’s a good weight, she supposes, though too long for a real club. it would throw her off-balance.

that its head is caked in dry blood does not faze her. she scratches at it with a nail. rust colored flakes slips through the cool air to the ground. nymeria, who had come around to sniff at the strange object in the girl’s hands, jumps when arya carelessly tosses it to the ground. the club makes a loud sound when it strikes the floor; the rest of them ( thirteen, she counts them ) make an even louder commotion when she simply grabs them all at once and throws them down.

nymeria growls at the sound, ears flattening against her head, and backs away. arya sucks in an irritated between her teeth. ignoring the wolf, she reaches into her locker again for her tunic. once that’s over her head, she drops her towel. as she removes her breeches from the locker, she spares a skeptical glare at the clubs.

[ Erik is only half-dressed, which would make for less of a spectacle if he wasn’t also half creature from the black lagoon.

Open gaps are slitted up beneath his ribs like gills, alternately sucking cold air and oozing bloody stasis fluid. He’s pale, and bald, and familiar, the way that the hairless ghosts of people met in passing can be.

He’s also laying claim to one of her clubs: it lances up from the floor into his right hand before she can say boo.

And he expects she will, if the look on his face is any indication. ]


I didn’t know you played.

[She comes out of the jump, and it's just...another jump. Sometimes Seraphim wonders if maybe she's too used to this, if she has grown too well accustomed to this ritual, once a month. It's likely to make her crazy.

Crazier.

She opens her locker and takes her violin out, still upset over the fact that it's now gold, and there's no one who can fix it, as far as she knows. The artistry would be incredible, if she didn't know that once it was wood - the grain is accented by rose gold, the bridge and pegs made of a lighter white gold.

But it's her violin and she wants it back.]

he's beside her a moment later, clean and clothed and wholly uncomfortable with being out in the open. with the tablet buried inside him, he knows it's hidden from the outside world. but that doesn't mean he can ignore the possibility of its existence being discovered here.]

armsmaster: (what the...)

james vega | lockers ota

[personal profile] armsmaster 2014-09-08 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ This isn't the first time Vega has been here.

Hard to forget the whole being sicked up out of a pod, covered in blue shit and dumped on the floor like a piece of meat. But the memories are fuzzy around the edges of what he can feel is wrong on so many different levels. He'd found his locker after stumbling around and trying not to lose his legs out from under him in what probably looked as graceful as a newly born elephant trying to work out how to get its legs working together. A new tattoo is the least of his problems right now, he figures, and having gone through the motions of tugging on his Alliance uniform (one that he'd pulled on in crazier situations than this one) he'd decided to lean up against a bank of lockers that aren't his and try to pull his head together.

When he'd gone to sleep he'd been in London and now he's on a ship that looks kind of familiar. He hadn't given Hackett his answer yet even though he was going to say yeah to that offer of his own command. So why was he on a ship instead of in the borrowed apartment he'd been assigned to?

Sooner rather than later he knows he's going to get bored of not having any answers, but for right now he's just working through trying not to throw up the contents of his stomach like he's some little green cadet pendejo on his first post. No way in hell is James Vega going to puke his guts out on a ship. ]

[ Lily is tired.

She's tired and she looks it, pale and not gaunt but there's something off, just a little, like she's not comfortable in her skin. She isn't again, not yet—she has no large visible effects from the last jump's horrors but even so, she's unsettled and still feeling a little unwell.

Not unwell enough to ignore the world around her, though. The man leaning against the lockers doesn't look familiar but he does look like he's seen better days, and she pauses by him, all regulation jumpsuit and damp red hair. ]


Are you all right?

[ She is in Medical, after all!!! She may as well act like it. ]

[It's been taking Wash a bit longer than usual to make it to the lockers the past few jumps... actually, long enough that it probably qualifies as usual, by now.

But eventually, he makes it from the pods to the showers. And from there to his locker. He pulls on a new shirt, as obnoxious as his last, with a mere shrug. It certainly looked to be his.

But then there's the pictures. Most have Zoe. Some have other members of the crew. And every last one of them shows a baby girl.

He just stands there, going through the pictures. With a very confused look on his face.]

[Simon was still feeling weak and exhausted after the few weeks he'd had, and he thought about just going back to his quarters and sleeping for a long, long time. However, he'd noticed Wash lingering by his lockers and went over to ask if something was up- before he caught a glance of the pictures and his breath caught in his throat.

A baby. And he could see traces of the baby's mother and father in her right away...]


... She's a gorgeous child.

hank mccoy | pods & lockers | ota & closed

[personal profile] prehendere 2014-09-08 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
pods & lockers | open
[Ten years was significantly longer than the last time he'd been deposited from his pod with a head full of new memories, but this time Hank doesn't hide. Mostly he stands there doubled over, looking significantly more blue than everyone else despite being covered with presumably the same amount of stasis fluid. While he coughs and adjusts from the feeling of tube stuck down his throat, he looks up from under his brow and readies himself to be accosted - either from waking up in something reminiscent of a laboratory (Trask) or because his most recent memory was of fighting Erik.

The assault doesn't come; a nagging sense of familiarity does. He doesn't necessarily remember everything about his time on board The Tranquility in minute detail, but there's a sense of relief that he has opposable thumbs and the knowledge of shower, locker. It's a start.]

pods (later in the day) | closed
[And then comes the point where he does start to remember later on in the day, once he's read over what happened before the last jump and having bumped into a few familiar faces. But one in particular is missing and he finds his memories swithering between sitting at the side of a bed in sick bay and Paris.

He knows logically that she - Raven, Mystique - won't know any of this is going on anymore than he knew what was transpiring during the jump. Her remaining in stasis is not an isolated incident either and it doesn't necessarily mean anything sinister will happen. But it doesn't do much and he's left feeling more and more uncomfortable at the thought of leaving her alone down here in the dark.

If anything, Charles would worry - or at least that's what he tells himself when he finds himself looking at her unmoving figure, arms crossed and contemplating surveillance options in case of attack.]

[ It appears to affect everyone differently. Charles had spent a solid ten minutes dissociated with his crush of a decade's worth of memory, with the medical bay happening around him like it was happening to someone else. If he were looking for it -- and perhaps he should be, all things considered -- he would know straight away by the time he meanders towards where Hank is almost dressed.

But he doesn't know because he has a white-knuckled grip on his telepathy in an effort to keep the crowd out of his mind. His hair is wet and swept back out of his face, and sunglasses perch high on the bridge of his nose to block out the lights and glarey reflective surfaces of the medical bay. The rest of him more or less matches this detail -- jeans of a comparatively dated cut and flare, a button-down tucked in.

His skin is still see through, harking to the strange quality of things that are deep-sea and scarce, filled in with dark musculature and blurry details of bone, cartilage. There is no desire to linger for very long.

But the last month had been rough, so. ]


I'm jealous, [ he says, after observation at a distance. ] Upright and healthy already.

[Move around, wait for breathing tube to be extracted, get out and walk around before returning to medbay. It was only the 3rd time Jennifer had been through a jump, but it was becoming routine- and this time, the fact that she was waking up and seeing the others meant that the hard work of many of the residents had paid off, had saved them.

She'd just wished she'd been able to do more.

No use worrying about that now, she knew- time to look for a certain someone who was still avoiding her.]

katniss everdeen; ota

[personal profile] striking 2014-09-08 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ there's a leaf drawn on her locker door. she'd done it herself, as an easy marker amidst the scrawl. katniss scratches at the red paint with a thumbnail for a moment, smiling, thinking of sirius. but even with all the towels, the soggy underwear she wore into the pods, she still feels awkwardly naked. maybe even moreso than usual, since even after the terrible, tormented medical process, her changes haven't gone away. ]

[ she's hairless, for one thing. not just her body hair: that might have been okay, like the Capitol fashion for waxing and plucking off all her natural fuzz. but right now she's bald, too. no braid this month for katniss everdeen. instead of hair, her body has sprouted feathery skin growths, over her head and shoulders and distorted, bone-warped back. ]

[ some things are better: her talons have fallen out, and her skin stopped growing painfully into itself, and she can see again. but she still feels monstrous, emaciated and disfigured, sprouting mutations like the mutt peeta had thought she was. so it doesn't take her long to open her lovker, wanting clothes. ]

[ and clothes are what she gets. the wedding dress spills out onto the floor almost as soon as she opens the door, and she steps back from the waterfall of white material in horror. trying to stuff it hastily back into the locker just means she won't be able to get to anything she needs, so she pulls it out and tosses it aside, lets it crumple in a heap on the floor. there's a white rose tucked into the bodice, stem threaded through the ribbon, and for the first time since being spat out of the tube she feels bile clawing up her throat. ]

[ there's more. bread — which makes her think of sirius telling her what panem means. it's rue's bread, and she pushes those memories away. it's peeta's bread, too, because all bread makes her think of her baker boy. it's bread from home, and instead of being a grateful comfort it's just one more awful thing. ]

[ honestly, the liquor is a relief. it carries its own memories, of course: when she uncaps it the strong ethanol smell makes her think immediately of haymitch. there's only half a bottle, but she takes a shot, lets it burn her nose and throat, lets the tears be a reaction to the fire of it and nothing else. miserable, she takes another drink, forcing herself to swallow, face twisting in displeasure before she finally recaps it. ]

[ as if all those memories weren't enough, there at the back with her familiar boots and jumpsuit is her mockingjay uniform. the one cinna designed before he died, the one she wore in all those propos. and her handmade bow is a child's toy next to the weapon from district thirteen that she's been gifted with. if she has to fight, here, she'll need nothing more. ]

[ eventually she just puts on her tranquility jumpsuit. might now she doesn't feel like a goddess of the revolution: she feels like a broken bird, all skin and bones. she feels sick and worn down with sadness. she feels like a girl who lost too many people she cared for. numbly, she starts to separate out what she wants to take back to her room on the first floor, and what she's going to shut away in her locker, to ignore until the next jump. ]

[ This makes it the second month that Peeta caves to the impulse to stop by Katniss's locker, the signs of a routine. It could've gone worse, last time, so there's no real deterrent based on that, and in the end he lets himself be drawn back by that same, awful familiarity that had roped him in the first time.

Each encounter that ends without bloodshed and without a fight is worth something. They stack on top of each other, slowly, cancelling out the memories that they so openly conflict with. This isn't one of those encounters.

There's something wrong with her. Logically, Peeta makes the connection to his own rough skin, the way his eyes had changed, gone black and wide and reminded him of Mitchell's. But he's fine now, and the visceral response counteracts any sympathy. His heart misses a beat, plummets and stops. There's no flash of fear in his expression, just a cold, numb curtain that drops over it.

It's almost mesmerizing, the way the feathers shift on her shoulder blades as she gets dressed. Peeta's frozen where he stands at the end of the row, watching. The rest of it barely deserves note in the face of her appearance, and even though the dress and the bread are important — something he recognizes, even if he can't feel it — they don't distract from her.

He doesn't say anything until she begins picking through the items, clearly getting ready to leave. He doesn't approach, either; still a few yards off, easily unnoticed given how preoccupying her locker's been.
]

What's wrong with you?

[ He knows. He knows exactly what's wrong with her, but the question comes out anyway, disoriented and scared in a way that just sounds like anger. ]

Ivan | ota

[personal profile] deservesadaisy 2014-09-08 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ivan had not been expecting this.

He wasn't expecting to wake up, first and foremost. But he's in survival mode, which means no visible surprise - a breathing tube, surely that isn't necessary - and no visible emotion. As he's wiping the liquid from his eyes, he notices that he doesn't feel any burns, or even any scars, which supports the theory that Bristol went as he remembered; wherever he is, he hadn't gotten here in any way that he expects to get back from.

He spends a good long while in the showers, though he doesn't bother shaving. He doesn't see any blood go down the drain, doesn't feel any injuries, though he feels weak in a way he can't immediately pin down. Later, he'll register that he's pale, put the pieces together, but he's too disoriented for now.

At the lockers, he hesitates - the jumpsuit is too much, eventually, but he compromises on his hesitation to ruin his only real clothes by leaving off the tie and jacket and rolling his sleeves to the elbow.

(He pockets his car keys with an ironic smile.)

Throughout it all, he observes those around him. Not staring, not rude, but paying attention. He may go speak to someone in a moment, once he's gotten what he can from keeping his eyes and ears open. That is, if no one beats him to it and approaches him first.

[Still shaky from the jump, Firo nonetheless dilly-dallies in the locker area to look for anyone who might need help adjusting to the crazy place. He was lucky enough to have someone to field his agitated questions, so he figures he might as well do the same for someone else.

With the lack of staring, it takes him a moment to pick out the guy who also seems to be watching people. Firo starts toward him, cautiously raising his hand in greeting.

Lockers:
[ She can't stop staring at the tattoo.

It's seriously the most ridiculous thing right now, to be kneeling on the floor of where ever the hell she is and staring at the numbers on her skin. Caroline's mind is racing, and she can't quite grab one thought before it escapes her only to be replaced by another.

Where is she? What happened to Bonnie? Is Elena okay? Is Stefan here? Why is she naked, ugh.

The last thought is one she clings to, and she curls in on herself for a moment. As if that's going to do anything. She wipes a hand over her arm, nose wrinkling as her fingers scrape some of the goo off her skin.

Okay. She's not having any of that.

Careful not to walk too quickly, she follows the few people already leaving and discovers her own locker. She's surprised to find her purse inside, along with some kind of weird uniform thing she has to frown at.

Beggars can't be choosers. Until she figures out what's going on, then she can be choosey.

After cleaning herself up and dressing in the uniform, she is at a loss. Her curiosity, and her irritation, demanded answers, but her confusion and pure worry are fighting against her so hard she actually has to sit down.

Which she does, sliding right to the ground with her back against her locker. Caroline's eyes are drawn back to her arm, where the tattoo is now hidden by her new outfit. She rubs a thumb over the area, biting her lip as she tries to decide what to do next.

Look for someone she knows? Find the first person who looks all official like and ask questions? Worry some more about how she got here, what's happened to her friends, why her?

She leans her head back so it smacks against the locker. She'll do something, that's for damn sure, but right now she just needs to take a moment and orient herself.

The longer she sits, the more she can feel her frustration boil up inside her, just waiting to explode. Woe betide anyone who pushes her buttons right now.

First day?

[The question comes without preamble; the moment she straightens up, she'll see a brick wall of a man standing in front of her, hands sunk deep into his pockets. Though he's smiling, there's not much mirth to it -- it's sympathetic, instead, falling just short of reaching his eyes.

It wasn't all that long ago that he'd been new. Benny had wanted to slam his head against the lockers a time or two, himself. Wasn't that hard to pick out the folks who needed a little help getting on their feet. Usually looked the most disoriented -- or frustrated, in this case.]


Careful now. It's frustrating as hell, but a few deep breaths might do you some good.

( CLOSED to DEREK )

[personal profile] puppydogeyes 2014-09-09 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Taylor's already had the long cold moments of clawing panic on waking in the gravcouch, not remembering why she couldn't see, why her limbs didn't respond correctly, why every movement was pain. She's had difficult jumps before, ones heavy with sickness and inability, and though she'd been prepared for how bad this one would be, it doesn't mean so much once she's experiencing it: on her knees on the medbay floor, shaking cold as nausea racks her too-thin frame.

She feels absolutely helpless and pathetic in it, only managing to move enough to shore herself back up against the bottom of the gravcouch once the vomiting stops. Her dogs are elsewhere. A hundred strangers could be passing her by, or members of her team that shouldn't see her like this, or enemies that might take the opportunity presented in her weak and useless. It's enough to make her want to scream and claw out of her skin, but she reminds herself that they'd found signs of her healing before the jump. That the pain had abated enough to let her move, get into the gravcouch with minimal assistance. It would take time, patience that she barely had, but it would pass. She had to believe it would.

For now all she can do is wait, hope Derek wakes up, or that one of the members of medical finds her before anyone else. But she doesn't tuck into herself, feels some of the ache in her limbs ease as she lets them stretch out, leans back against the pod and focusses on listening.]

[ Tck.

Doral is already nearly dressed when he finds his knife tucked away in the back of his locker. His slacks are teal. So is the jacket he has hanging open on the locker door.

Collar turned open up around his ears in a technicolor pattern of brown and green, back straight, he feels along the back of the open blade. It’s a mean-looking little device, stainless steel at the grip and whetted sharp enough to make short work of the fine hair at the back of his left wrist when he tests it there.

A glimpse of the tattoo etched fresh into the inside of his arm gives him pause before he’s finished: he teases the cuff of his sleeve back with the knife point to reveal the rest of his 005, and 035 >> before that.

Some of the numbers have changed.

The longer he looks, the harder the point of the knife presses itself nearer to the edge of ink, pale skin sinking soft under steel. ]

[ Doral is being stalked. The lockers of jump 29 are some distance downwards, and bare feet make quick, quiet roaming along the now damp, puddled floor of the locker room corridor. Glances back ensure that no one of the colonial persuasion has gotten this far, even if Caprica is not entirely settled on what would have to happen if they had.

She is dressed in black, denim and cotton, her long arms bare and revealing her set of numbers that have remained unchanged. White-blonde has been washed of blue slime, already curling at the ends. In most ways, she is like every other Six he has known.

In other ways, she is not. Long, sharp, bony protrusions have pushed past fingernails that have since shed to extend her fingers another inch, and the proud line of her jaw, the cut of her cheekbones, seem more pronounced, pushing her appearance from handsomely beautiful to undoubtedly monstrous. There is still a grey cast to the insides of her lips, lines etched at the corners of her mouth. Even subtle twitches of her lips draw back skin to reveal too sharp, uneven teeth, and too many.

So she makes sure not to smile. ]


Brother.

[ The word comes out soft at the edges in both affection and hindrance, but her eyes are very human, suddenly, soft and glad and a little apologetic. ]

pods:
Kate has had a bad few months, but this one is aiming to top the list.

She stumbles out of the pod in sports bra, boots, and sodden sweatpants, so heavy with stasis fluid they're barely hanging off the jut of her hip bones. They catch at her already-wobbly knees and she falls, and instinctively she sticks out her hands to catch herself.

But despite the nanite extraction just before the jump her hands are still grey-green-black to the wrist, and the soaking in the gravcouch has left them swollen and raisin-wrinkled, dead flesh sloughing off with the heavy drip of blue fluid even before they strike the floor. They slide out from under her like they're boneless and she hits the ground hard. She stays there a second, doubled over on knees and forearms, trying not to scream in pain (and not a little horror). She succeeds, but only because she vomits instead. Dignity.

She manages to pull herself up to her knees and slide back from the puddle of goop and puke, but at least for a minute getting to her feet just seems overwhelmingly difficult. But the impossibility is almost a blessing; the idea that this stupid fucking ship might have her beat for even a minute pisses her off so much she manages to surge to her feet, even if she's unsteady when she gets there. She'll just lean here against this neighboring pod for a second until her head stops spinning.


lockers:
Kate makes it from pods to showers to lockers eventually, still half-dressed, even more soaked than before though at least it's mostly with water now instead of stasis goo. She's got a towel on her head, slipping down to drape around her shoulders. Her locker opens as she reaches toward it, and she stares into it for a while. There's not much in there she can do anything with, but there's also a thing that catches her eye, something where nothing should be.

She reaches in with both arms, and catches it between her wrists, drawing out an obsidian knife, finely carved and wickedly sharp, glinting darkly under the overhead lights. She frowns at it without recognition. "The fuck?"

Hey - [ it's a familiar voice, albeit both raspy and sounding not unlike she's recovering from hardcore dentistry - which is ironic in a totally-not-funny way, considering it's pretty much all because of her stupid wolf teeth. they're why she hasn't been talking, to anyone really but she saw kate slip and the word just kind of... came out.

kate's already on her feet by the time sally gets to her (it's not like she was gonna run the few steps, that'd slaughter kate's dignity right in the middle of her attempts to preserve it), but once she does, sally's ducking casually under her arm if kate'll let her.

she wants to say something dry and relateable, something totally non-judgy, but that would involve more voluntary speech. so instead she glances kate's way to gauge whether or not she's gonna accept the help, lips pressing together slightly as she tries not to look so stupidly concerned.

PODS
[ Waking up disoriented and breathing through a coarse throat is familiar. Less familiar are the lights that filter in quickly, causing him to blink and narrow his eyes out of habit, and the fact that he's upright. That doesn't last for long. The moment the pod's open, Kieren falls to the ground. His skin's too white in the wake of the blue liquid, but the cold tint never really fades, lips pale and grey with it.

Nothing about the situation counteracts the spike of panic that the initial disorientation provokes. He doesn't stand up so much as scramble back, back slamming against the pod as he draws his knees to his chest and tries to calm down. He looks over the room once, white eyes taking in only the vaguest of details and the fact that he's not alone. Then he closes them tight, hands going to cover his ears and block it all out.
]
LOCKERS
[ It's impossible to hide. Hurrying's the next, theoretically best option. As soon as Kieren figures out the routine, he skips the showers and heads straight for the lockers. He fumbles over opening the door the first time and yanks it open on the second, and it's only then that he releases a heavy exhale of breath. Good news, for once. He has to remind himself that getting dressed should happen before anything else, and he rushes that, too, dragging on his clothes before crouching to sort through the small pile of items at the bottom of his locker.

The knife gives him pause, as does a small blue bottle. They're both shoved beneath a spare sweater along with the injection kit, as if that's somehow more secure, and then he grabs the cover-up and contacts. When he stands up, one hand holding the loot and the other shutting the locker, he's still too rushed to manage it gracefully. The box of contacts slips out of his hand and hits the ground, scattering its contents and sending a lone case sliding right towards someone's foot.
]

Don't— [ It's knee-jerk and panicked and slightly pathetic. He stops and tries to regain some composure, continuing a beat later. ] Don't step on that. Please.

[ He has no idea how long he'll be stuck here. If he's only got one box of contacts, wasting any would be a minor tragedy. ]

[Alison has only experienced one jump so far. This one is already a vast improvement, in that a) she isn't naked, and b) nobody is trying to murder her. As soon as she found out that the things available for use on the ship included bathing suits she obtained one; the straps of it are peeking above the towel wrapped around her body, cloaking armpit to knee on her small frame. There's another towel around her hair, twisted into such an effective turban that it doesn't even wobble when her face ducks, eyes going to the small case.

It's the most attention she's paid to anyone yet. Some people haven't figured out that nudity isn't a requirement, apparently. It makes her a little testy.]


I'm sure I can manage not to - oh!

[It's not loud, not a scream, but it's there. A muffled little pop of shock over his appearance, escaping in the wide-eyed moment before one hand flutters up towards her mouth.

She rallies. Clearly, he's ill. Maybe the lingering effects of last jump's sickness - she doesn't recognize him, but she'd had too much on her plate to spend time socializing. She collects the case (lower towel clutched firmly in place as she crouches) and holds it out to him.]


There we go.

[It's never any easier.

It's not the pods that bother him, or the crud that needs to be washed off afterwards, or even the forced public nudity. It's the close press of so many people, way more humans than he's comfortable being in the vicinity of for any length of time. Even as people have been encouraged to move to lower floors of the ship, Benny has kept himself holed up on the 32nd floor, tucked away in his room and sustaining himself on synthetic blood.

Occasionally, Dean or Jo will drop by to check up on him, and he'll tell them he's fine, that there ain't nothin' to worry about, but it's been some time since the last visit. Long enough that he's starting to feel a little shaky on his own two feet, disconnected. More than anything, he needs his friends to keep him honest, keep him accountable, but even before this place, friends had been few and far between. He'd outlived most of his, had to kill those who turned against him, and Dean? Blood brothers they may be, but even Dean couldn't be there all the time.

He finds the lack of any familiar faces disheartening as he makes his way past the emptying pods, in and out of the shower in a matter of minutes now that he's got the routine down. His locker is waiting for him, same as always, with the same old clothes and sparse belongings inside. He dresses quickly, tugging his boots on and lacing them up before he breaks away from his own locker and begins to walk the length of the locker bank, pulling his suspenders up one arm at a time as he goes.

He searches the faces of those who are busy getting their own bearings as he passes, but the further he goes without seeing either of his friends, the more his own face begins to fall. Finally, he comes to pause beside the locker he knows had been Dean's; they'd met there on more than one occasion, but no Dean in sight. He grimaces, placing one hand against the door of the locker and resting his weight against it. He doesn't need to open it to know that it's empty. He's had that feeling deep in his gut for awhile now, just known somehow that even among all these people, he was suddenly alone all over again.

He'd just really hoped that he'd be proven wrong.]


Guess I'll be seein' you on the other side, brother.

[Except he wouldn't. Humans and vampires didn't exactly mix in the afterlife.]

...but it's always easier to worry about other people than herself, and she slows, head tilted-- )


Hey, stranger. ( even in tone, it's the way you'd greet someone who is actually not a stranger-- she's just like that, casually presumptuous without ever quite managing to be arrogant. you need more self-esteem than she's ever had, for arrogance. ) You're all right?

[Being on board a space ship at first feels a lot like when she was murdered - cold, aching, caked in something (this time not her own blood) and alone. Vulnerable. And vomiting - whatever had been shoved down her throat sees a retch and spill of inky blackness onto the floor. She's not exactly enthused about any of it but she manages to choke down the desire to scream and claw at someone, anyone.

Instead she does what teenagers in high school are good at doing; she follows. She hangs back and looks as imperial as she can manage under the circumstances, rather than do something foolish. She watches for cues: to shower before going to the locker room, to open the locker matching the number on her arm.

She almost thinks she's got it figured out by the time she's dried and dressed, maybe even sized one or two people up along the way. But the little cheap brass heart necklace lying in wait underneath her clothes catches her off guard. The demon inhabiting her soul has numbed her to most things, but something like hurt scratches away at her. For a second she thinks about throwing it down a grate. But only a second – the next it’s being clipped on blank-faced while she inspects her reflection.]

It takes Gwen just as long as it had the past two jumps to get herself out of her pod, into the showers, and then to the general locker area.

She finds her locker without trouble, finds her clothes, finds the photograph of her family still tucked between the pages of her Oscorp notebook. Her hair is still damp, so she leaves it down. One hand idly reaches for her comms device before her eyes flick across the screen as though she's expecting a message or an update - mostly out of habit than anything.

Going through the motions is beginning to feel familiar, almost a sick kind of normal, like someone who is beginning to accept the fact that her residency here may be a little more permanent than not. It's kind of a scary thought, actually, and one that she is going to consciously stop thinking about because Stacys do not do despair and dwelling in dark ruminations.

One thing's for sure: she's grateful for her health. The grogginess and slight disorientation are normal - all side-effects of the jump ... but the nausea, the aching muscles, the paleness in her skin, and the dark circles are gone. Only the faintest trace of it clings to her physical form; most of it is in her memory.

The unfortunate thing about the return to status quo is the reminder that "looking like diseased ass" is Harry's status quo. He'd looked worse, sure, when they were all suffering from what he will not refer to on the network as 'robo-AIDS' because he does actually like having all the bones in his face aligned the way they currently are - but he's not exactly looking like a prince of New York in the aftermath. His dark circles remain, ugly relief in translucently pale skin, greenish cast; he's not sweaty, right now, but that's because he just got out of the shower.

...like, a while ago, he's got pants on and his shirt is even mostly buttoned, relax.

"Hey, Meg Ryan, you with us?"

What a polite and considerate method of inquiring after her state of mind, since she looks a little bit spaced out.

simon monroe | showers or lockers or wherever! | open

[personal profile] revivalism 2014-09-10 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
Even with so many people moving sickly and slowly, Simon is one of the last to filter through to the locker room: he was slow to reach consciousness, slow to emerge from the disorienting haze, and then slow to move from the space in front of his pod, peering at the numbers on his arm. Waiting for someone to come tell him what to do, maybe, if only so he could refuse to do it. But nobody came to collect him.

Nobody seems to be in charge at all.

When nearly everyone else has gone he picks himself up and follows a few other stragglers through the showers. He's thorough: there's pod fluid in his hair, his ears, the nooks of the surgical staples and the crannies of the open wound on his back. He can't feel well enough to know for sure when he's gone, so he washes twice, fingers scrubbing over the exposed nubs of his spine as easily as his skin.

At his locker he takes his time rifling through his belongings—neurotriptyline weighed in his hand, injector inspected, photograph tucked into the pages of the Bible for safer keeping, the comms device switched on long enough for it to give its instructions—before he trades his towel for underwear. The jumpsuit he holds out in front of himself for a moment with a critical eye, then drops on the ground. He'll leave it there, probably.

He puts on the trousers he recognizes, instead, and turns his back on his locker to button his shirt, with his tie hung around his shoulders and jacket over one arm, and watches anyone who passes by for as long as they're in his line of sight—not with a scowl or any overt suspicion, but he could probably stand to blink more often.

TOUCHES A ZOMBIE AT THE LOCKERS

[personal profile] lightmagic 2014-09-10 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
Lily is usually one of the last stragglers as late, lingering and searching. It's become habit and she probably shouldn't, but she does it anyway—it's how she's still around when Simon is, hair finally some semblance of dry.

She doesn't see him until he's dressed, or she'd probably be more concerned; this isn't to say she doesn't notice the off aspect of him at all but that open wounds would ping her harder than the rest. It's his stillness that begs her attention when she pauses on her way out, long enough to call out to him, straight-backed and unworried but asking after him anyway.

"All right?" There's a pause and then, "first time here?"

handelaar: (moving along now)

netherlands | wherever | open!

[personal profile] handelaar 2014-09-10 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[If it wasn't for his rabbit (and his annoying standing-on-face method of getting his attention this time), Netherlands would likely still be a soggy heap of low grumbling gathered at the base of his stasis pod. Lodewijk is a stubborn asshole when he wants to be, though, and it's important for him not to remain cold and wet - a short time later finds both in the showers.

Ned sits with his back propped up against the wall, long, thin legs splayed with Lodewijk between them as he scrubs the little guy off, and water pours down. Not hot, not cold, just right for a bunny. As he scrubs, the skin on his hands sloughs of - gross - he makes a face and sets it aside, not knowing what the hell else to do with it. His hair is shorn close to his scalp, but unlike his skin stays in place when he cautiously takes a swipe and he doesn't even pretend not to sigh in relief.

The entire process is performed as if he were very, very drunk (or perhaps high), all lurching movements and blinking pauses. In reality he's very, very tired and feels shitty from the jump and would nap here if he could. He's naked - if people see his dick or the bright CAO stamped on his arm, well, whatever.



It's only once they're out and Lodewijk is dried that he even begins to think of tracking down all of the chickens - if there are any left, that is, because he didn't put any into gravcouches before this jump. Fuck.

(Someone did, turns out.) He ambles back into the bay and finds that the grav couches have just unleashed a wave of soggy, squawking chickens unto the floor. Jesus Christ. He scrubs his face.]


Need a sheepdog for this shit.

[Grumbled to himself, as he tries to herd them into an area where he can block their exit, come back later to get them all.]

[ If Erik was able to make a sound, other late arrivals might be more sensitive to his plight.


He’s thrust himself back against the pod he spilled out of, toes splayed to brace him upright against metal that isn’t metal, fingers buried to the third knuckle in his own side. His eyes are wild, lips blue, hands all tremble and spasm, clawing too deep, failing to find purchase in the slime he’s sucked deep into his gills.

Blood gurgles through the runoff when he pushes into the next spiracle.

There isn’t a hair on him to divert the flow of stasis fluid slicking down his midline and behind his ears -- it glosses serene over muscular contours while he drowns, webbing into an oily drip off his elbow.

A retch pumps the same fluid up into his windpipe and out through his nose.

Elegant. ]

[ The average jump is messy. This is worse.

Most everyone seems to have some ugly, lingering effects of the illness, and Emma steps around the grav couches as carefully as she can.The sight Erik come tumbling out, drowning, draws her over, and her hand finds a grip on his forearm, trying to steady him. Her grip slips against the stasis fluid, but her attempts are undeterred.
]

Hey! Hey. Come on, breathe.

[ She makes it sound easy, as if he simply isn’t doing it when he can, but at least if he focuses on being pissed at her, the process might pick up back into an automatic rhythm. And if not, she can at least begin to try dragging him towards the shower to purge the fluid that appears to be … Ugh. Clogging. Her expression screws into a look of muted disgust and her eyelids flutter in her attempt to repress any overt reaction. ]
