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!))

I'm not focusing on it.

[ Pidge's face tugs into a frown. ]

I'm just pointing out the obvious! If people don't want to be here or be a part of the team, then it's going to drag everything down.
servitor: (no mincing)

[personal profile] servitor 2017-07-05 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
That's the way things go sometimes. We don't have the option to leave, so the next best thing is to work with everyone even those that don't want to be here.

[But people aren't seeming to understand the dire necessity of teamwork, from what he's getting.]

Is there something that'll kill this headache or will nothing help?
greentech: (For your consideration)

[personal profile] greentech 2017-07-05 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
You get used to it. Uh - has anyone told you how to get your mental walls up yet? That might be the problem...

[ Yeah, this place is weird. ]
servitor: (no mincing)

think we can close up in a few?

[personal profile] servitor 2017-07-08 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I just woke up a few hours ago. There's not a whole lot of introduction going on.
greentech: (curious and curiouser)

yeah, think we're about done.

[personal profile] greentech 2017-07-08 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, uh! Lemme see if I can explain. if you concentrate and sort of... focus, you can get some barriers up so the noise from everyone isn't as... uh. Loud.
servitor: (Default)

sweet!

[personal profile] servitor 2017-07-09 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
I think I need to sleep first.

[Because, you know. No sleep in almost 36 hours isn't helping a lot.]
greentech: (lance pls no)

Re: sweet!

[personal profile] greentech 2017-07-09 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah! Go get some rest! If you want, I can show you later.

[ Dude, what? Get some sleep. ]
servitor: (until daybreak)

[personal profile] servitor 2017-07-09 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, thanks. I'll see you in... who knows when.

[He starts to amble off and he can't even pretend to give a timeline, he might be out for two days to make up for pure adrenaline and no sleep.]
