NEW HATCHES

YOU WAKE UP and suddenly you're a different person. No. That's not right. You're you and there's no suddenly about it. It's been a while, hasn't it? It feels like waking up from a very deep, extended sleep or like surfacing up from the darkness of the ocean and right there in your own head there's something both familiar and strange. You know intuitively that you've been unconscious for more than just a blink of the eye. While it’s impossible to tell exactly how long ago or how exactly you escaped the danger that had been breathing down your neck, you're certain 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 once 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. The closer you are to these stranger, the louder the sound in your head becomes. --Actually they're not quite strangers either, are they? Something is wound about and between you and these people, whoever they are, are as familiar as this place you've never been is.

Welcome to Station 72. The air buzzes with activity. Somewhere deep in the Station, other minds call to yours. They are bright, brilliantly celebratory spots in your subconscious. They are sun-warm gentle, or they are fire and the taste of ash, or they are a vibrant frenetic whirl, or they are a tangled garden, or they are the feeling of flight through dense cirrus clouds. 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.

Which is why it's easy to tell when something goes terribly wrong:



OLD HOSTS

THE ENDORPHIN RUSH of making it back to Station 72 (relatively) unharmed, having successfully acquired exactly what you'd set out to get your hands on can't be denied. Even if you're not necessarily the type to celebrate, there's no ignoring the thrumming celebratory sensation from those Hosts who are.

After a few hours of being back in the void, something else stirs in the air: the clear, prickling sensation of new hosts hatching on the Nesting Deck. They're a rush of mental information - as if someone's turned the volume on the radio all the way up -, a cacophony of sensation and emotional feedback for anyone unprepared to shield against it.

The swell of feeling might make it easy to miss what follows immediately after: the dull, gut-deep quiet as The Darkling, Chuuya Nakahara, and Nasu Rei go suddenly comatose.






((OOC Notes: This is the hatch log for all new hosts. Feel free to make your own logs and posts additional to this if you care do. 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!))

[When he woke up, Kavinsky also chose not to change into the provided clothing. From his perspective, they were too sterile, like a school uniform before the blazer's worn in and the slacks are torn at the knees. He preferred his own clothes which knew his shape. To this day, he's got the same pair of pants he showed up in, scuffed and stained with blood and oil and--a recent acquisition--scorch marks. He saunters in with them hugging his legs near the calves, loose near the top in post-modern style.

There's a blunt between his lips, trailing smoke as he huffs and he puffs.

This is his first time seeking out the newbies without provocation. They're usually better off finding him on their own, after they've met the welcoming welcome committee. But there's a sense of unease after recent events; victory was marred by the awkwardly preventable loss of one of their own. Others went into the same coma as Sirius.

Kavinsky needs a distraction.

He waits for too long, watching the stranger's hips sway as he prods and pokes at the pod. He would have noticed Kavinsky's presence if he wasn't so distracted and if K wasn't going out of his way to keep himself subtle.

Suddenly, he stops. He's there. Loudly there.]

[ It's the first time in a very, very long time that someone snuck up on Derek - and the first time ever that he... sensed someone in his mind like this before he heard or smelt them. He jerks out of the pod, twisting as he pushes off of the ladder and drops down to land on his feet, shoving a hand through his hair to get it out of his face.

His nostrils flare, briefly, as he scents the air as much as he can without looking too obvious about it. It'd be easier if he could tip his head back or crouch a little lower, but it's habit to try to be as unobtrusive as possible.

It's always told him more than sight, and he wants to get as much information on the guy standing there as possible. Curiosity and wariness mingle together from his side of the mental link, and he reaches out a little, testing it. ]


How did you do that?

Do what? This?

[Kavinsky dims his presence down, which is nothing more than drawing away from the mental bond neither of them asked for. Manipulating the links is an on-going game of cat's cradle wherein forty other hands keep getting in the way. Forming an Eiffel Tower takes ten hours instead of the usual two minutes and spare change, but the end result is worth it.

A tower. Some peace.

He loosens the strings to make himself gaps to disappear into. In and out.

But he's in in body. There aren't--there weren't many teenagers in the Nest. Fresh, young blood calls to him like sirensong. People his age, they don't aim to save anyone. They're too busy drowning. What a nice break.]
