[hatch log] wake up, starshine

CHARACTERS: New Hosts & EVERYONE
WHERE: The Station
WHEN: DAY :009
SUMMARY: What's this? It's a whole new set of tools!
WARNINGS: Will update as necessary. Need a warning added? PM this account please!









YOU WAKE UP and suddenly you're a different person. --No. Wait. Scratch that. There's no suddenly about it. It's been a while, hasn't it? Something feels off anyway - a combination of the strange and familiar right there in your own head - and you know intuitively that you've been unconscious for more than just a blink of the eye. It’s impossible to tell exactly how long ago or how exactly you escaped the danger that had been breathing down your neck, but you know it was more than a moment ago.

But here you are, a small miracle of the multiverse: lying in a small faintly hexagonal chamber, a gentle white light emanating from the surrounding walls. If you were injured during your escape, those injuries have been healed. If you were anxious or frightened or distraught, those feelings have been briefly calmed. There's something strangely peaceful about waking up here. That feeling persists even as you find the tube running from the base of your neck to the compartment's rear wall.

But when the tube's disconnected? Things get loud. A wave of emotion fills that peaceful void - fear, uncertainty, relief, a sense of purpose or loneliness or anxiety. Maybe some of these emotions are yours, but they can't all be. After the initial sensory overload, the mental buzz elongates: stretches out into a murmur like the sound of a party happening behind a closed door.

You can sit up - barely -, and shift out of the pod. There’s a ladder at your feet and a little cubby just before it with anything you brought with you as well as a set of crisp, loose-fitting white clothes; while your injuries are healed, whatever you’re wearing is in the exact state it was before. Maybe it's time for a change? Drop down the ladder to the floor of the Nesting Deck and you’ll find you’re not alone - and that those sounds in your head are louder the closer you are to these strangers. --No. That's not right either. A sense of familiarity runs so deep between you it might as well be cellular.

Welcome to Station 72. It buzzes with activity - a pulse of life that beats beyond the four of you and this strange nesting deck. Somewhere deep in the Station, other minds call to yours. They are bright, shining spots in your subconscious. They are sun-warm gentle, or the back and forward lapse of some tidal wave pushing in and pulling away, or they are fire and the taste of ash, or they are a cold black stone, or they are a tangled garden. No two links are exactly the same, but you know for certain that you are connected to all of them in at least some small way.

It's time to figure out how - and why.







((OOC Notes: This is the hatch log for the new hosts and anyone looking to greet them after their hatching. You’re welcome to make your own logs separate to this going forward!l and tag any old logs that have been forward dated to this point or beyond (there's a lot of catch-all's on the comm right now, and we encourage you to go snooping on them!).


Additionally, you can find a more detailed overview of the hatching process HERE. You can find additional setting information about the Station HERE If you have any questions, please hit up either the FAQ or MOD CONTACT pages!))

never be sorry

( damon hasn't been paying attention to the thoughts that aren't his, really — they're weird, but he's got bigger problems to deal with — why doesn't elena remember the last ten months, why is she here in the first place, where is here. mental weirdness can take a back seat until he figures all that out.

the feelers, though, are harder to ignore. it's an intrusion he's never experienced before, but it brings to mind how he imagines compulsion would feel — someone else's consciousness trying to superimpose itself on his own. that comparison has his hackles up immediately, and he gives a wild mental shove to the feelers, trying to force them out.

when he sees kavinsky an realizes he's where the psychic nudges are coming from, damon doesn't even think — he rarely ever does. he blurs up to him,grabbing his throat and slamming him against the wall. his scleras have filled with blood, the veins below his eyes dark and raised, teeth sharpened to points — he's going for full on intimidation, but has no intention of actually biting kavinsky.

...yet.

Get out of my head!

[There is a jolt of emotion, one that Kavinsky knows all too well because he regularly incites it, and then the man has him. 'Man' in shape, at least, because Kavinsky bears witness to the whites of his eyes flooding with scarlet. It's a look. Kind of five years old, he thinks, but a look. And Kavinsky is already privy to this fresh new bullshit. This Dracula ass tomfuckery. They share a brood, it's unavoidable. But what he wasn't certain was coming was the order. Get out of my head.

He couldn't follow it if he wanted to.

The best he can do is retreat back, with he doesn't at the desired pace. It's more of a meander than the quivering rush of a prey animal. Kavinsky's fear is a low treble beneath much louder, boisterous notes. Curiosity, amusement, yeah-whatever-man, go ahead. The expected survival instinct just isn't there. He doesn't struggle right, either. There's the hand on Damon's wrist to try and gain some purchase, but it's lazy, not desperate.]


Doing my best--

[He grunts it out. Amusement, curiosity--]

Chill out.

( chill is not something damon has in abundance, kavinsky might have noticed — either from the chaos in his head or the unwarranted attack on his person. still, kavinsky's leisurely retreat from damon's head does a lot to make him calm down. in fact, damon drops kavinsky entirely, looking for all the world as though nothing even happened. they're standing here for totally normal reasons, damon definitely didn't throw kavinsky into a wall, everything is 100% cool and normal.

totally.
)

Were you expecting me?

( just going to have a normal conversation now, nothing to see here. the utter lack of concern kavinsky showed has told damon everything he needs to know about how effective threats are going to be here — that is, not very — and he needs to get more information. possibly also an attempt at compulsion, if it'll do anything. being in each other's heads might make that complicated. )
100mitsubishis: (I'll do whatever you say)

[Kavinsky is a very bad person to threaten. For one, he has trouble taking it seriously; most threats made against his person have ended up empty or too difficult for the other party to make good on. For two, he'll hit back and it won't be pretty when he does. He doesn't have the raw power of the other man, but he has years of building up layers of protection around himself until the only thing that hurts Kavinsky is Kavinsky.

He doesn't feel like a teenager. He feels like a fully loaded weapon with a pocket full of designer drugs. He's the designer.]


Like, was I looking for you?
