[hatch log] the stealth ship's running out of fuel

CHARACTERS: All
WHERE: The Station + Concordia
WHEN: DAY :29 - :30
SUMMARY: A new brood hatches; two new hosts arrive in Concordia.
WARNINGS: Will update as necessary.






YOU WAKE UP. Something is different - something unnamable, but palpable. You aren't the same person you were the last time you were aware of yourself.

You might not know it right away, though. What you do know: you're in a just slightly claustrophobic compartment. A gentle white light diffuses from the top panel. You're wearing the clothes you remember from wherever you came from. You feel... good - regardless of what condition you might have been in before you came to this place. Whatever injuries you might have had, whatever agony you may have been experiencing, whatever fear dogged your heels, they’re all gone. It’s quiet. Lastly, there’s a faint pinch at the base of your skull. Reach back to it and there's a small cable connected to the base of your neck and running back into the rear wall of the compartment. Disconnect it. Then it’s not so quiet anymore. Wherever here is, you aren't alone. You can feel that in your head: something big taking up space.

Welcome to Station 72, Mara and Murphy. All new hosts will have one day aboard the Station before being whisked off to Concordia to join the others. Get to know one another, ask the guardians of the Station - Prince and Cathaway - any burning questions you might have, explore Station 72. At the end of the day, a slick stealth shuttle will arrive in the hangar to take you to Concordia.

The pilot of the craft of a young man who buzzes across the fresh mental connection. It's loud enough to be irritating; he apologizes for it a few times during the trip through the pieces of the multiverse, as the ship pops into existence over the planet, and descends into the bustling inner city of Concordia in the dark hours of the morning on DAY 30. Nirad lands the stealth craft in a garden district; once you've disembarked, the ship reverts to an autopilot sequence and lifts off of it's own accord.

From there, it's just a short tram ride to the Bearings Apartment block building. The hosts, Nirad explains, have rented out Level 13. There are still some empty rooms there if you want one (you probably want one). That said-- if you don't want to go to Bearings and meet your new family comrades in arms ...friends...?

No one's stopping you. But some of them might come looking.






((OOC Notes: This is a mini-hatch log for Mara Jade and John Murphy; on-Station prompts should be closed to either one another or Station NPCs, but Concordia prompts may be open to everyone.

[Mara had meant an alias for the game-- plenty of people had them-- but it's a good reminder not to get too comfortable. Not that she particularly needs one, but she likes having them around to justify her general blanket of mistrust. Never, ever get comfortable.]

I'll take it into consideration. [It sounds like a delightful trek into the mind of a mentally unstable teenager. She's agreed to worse things over drinks.] Do you two have some sort of history I should know about?

[ Fair enough, but good that the new people know what's going on anyway. Bout It Out isn't a safe place for them, or anyone, really, despite the literal fun and games aspects. ]

Maybe have a drink or two first. [ At the question of history, Sam laughs some, tilting his head in a WELP sort of gesture. ] You could say that. We've fought a little less virtually, after he went pyro with my friend's flower bed.

[ aka, Sam set off a nuclear explosion inside Petre's head and Petre tried to eat him. ]
snaphiss: that is too many. (tree of life won how many awards)

Revenge? [Mara says, grinning over her glass. Even when she's in a good mood, she prefers to poke and prod, teasing.] I would say that sounds petty for someone like you, but I don't know anything about you.

[To be fair, she's had more smug introductions.]

I know, in all this time we've known each other, you've never seen that ugly side of me, huh? [ spoken wryly, with a lopsided smirk. ] Not saying I'm always above petty, but to be fair, it started out as just telling him to leave her alone.

[ petre wasn't willing, and sam was pissed that he'd be so vicious to a young girl just because she didn't back down to him acting like a prick to her. but all in all, yes, picking a fight with a soulless teenager, demon child or not, wasn't his best moment. ]

Oh, you hide it so well. [She smirks.] You are asking a total stranger to beat him; maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

Oh that's more for humor's sake. [ He snorts, waving a hand. If he really wanted Petre injured, he'd do it himself. It's more about the hissy fit he throws when he loses. ] Believe me, I'm not the only one who'd get a kick out of it. You should probably sell tickets.

If you want to, I won't stop you. [The idea is certainly an amusing one.] I'm new to town, and don't know my way around.

[Well, the first part of that statement is true, anyway.]

[personal profile] frakkincylons 2016-09-11 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
I'll think about it, pitch the idea around maybe. [ Not really. He isn't that invested on seeing Petre get huffy. Instead, he snorts a laugh, pausing to take a swig from the drink he'd picked up. ] Get set up at the apartments yet?

[ As he hadn't actually seen her there. Just flashes of faces through other peoples' minds. It's weird, to know people without knowing them. But whatever, that's life now. ]

[Mara nods.] It's cramped, but I've survived worse.
