[HATCH LOG] IS ANYONE THERE?
CHARACTERS: All
WHERE: Station 72
WHEN: Day :150
SUMMARY: Today is the day you wake up.
WARNINGS: None; will edit if necessary.
A MOMENT AGO it seemed like you willingly took the hand of someone beckoning to safety.
NOW YOU WAKE UP in one of many chambers of Station 72’s nesting deck. If you had wounds, they’re (mostly) gone; if you had doubts they are - for the split second between dreaming and waking - gently reassured. This is correct. This is right. You’re safe here. The only question is what here is exactly.
The compartment you find yourself in is small, though gently padded for comfort with enough elbow and head -room to not be wholly claustrophobic. Still, it’s difficult to re-orient yourself; the best way to get to the chamber’s built in ladder and down to the smooth, polished white floor of the nesting is to simply roll over onto your belly and go out feet first.
First thing’s first though: get rid of that tube running from the rear wall of the chamber to the base of your skull. The moment you’ve done that, there’s the sensation like a rubber band popping - a string in your hand being jerked. The headache that punches in falls like the heavy end of a hammer - not serious, but surprisingly abrupt - as a of combination confusion, resolve, anxiety, certainty, delight, and fear and expectation finds you. In fades after a moment, churning to a low dull pressure and a faint hum. It’s feels like standing outside the door of a small party, sounds muffled and incomprehensible. Some pieces rise and swell above the others then fall again. Strain your ears and realize you’re hearing nothing at all.
On the plus side, you’re not hooked into the compartment anymore. Slide out and onto the ladder, though not too fast or you’ll miss the small cubicle built into the wall near the mouth of the chamber. In the cubicle are all the things you brought with you, every small piece you own of the home you left behind. There’s a neatly folded pair of something like white pajamas there as well. They’re definitely in your size, though you have the option not to wear them since you’re still in the clothes you left home in. Granted, for some of you that might not exactly be a blessing. Your clothes haven’t exactly been laundered or repaired, so best hope you didn’t bleed or sweat on them too much during your escape.
Sliding free from the chamber pod and stepping out onto the ladder, you’ll find yourself in an open space. The room is broad and pale and clean, its sloping walls featuring dozens and dozens of holes like the one you just wiggled out of. There are more ladders and a few other people climbing down, or stareing, or already down on the nesting deck’s floor but the sixteen - seventeen, including yourself - people present would hardly fill even a sixth of the room’s available accommodations.
The noise is louder when you near any of the others. It’s as if you've entered the party yourself. Identifiable now is the low wash of feelings, a hum of emotions that only serves to make the slight headache worsen. They feel genuine. They feel like they could belong to you. Still, that pressure in your head doesn't worry you --Shouldn't it worry you? Does worrying - about the headache, about the world and people you left behind, or the strange place you’re in now, the odd collection of people you’re with and the fact that you feel strangely drawn to five or six of them - make the headache better? Or worse?
If you manage to push the sound aside and listen with your true ears, you'd notice you can't hear anything besides this small group of fellow hosts: their footsteps, their oddly sharp breathing. There’s no sound of traffic, no wind in the trees, no birds, no hum of a ship. Only circulating air and silence.
You may not know what a brood is, but finding yours is easy. There are minds among these strangers that call to yours, their voices louder than the rest, their feelings sharper. The nearer to you they are, the more comfortable you feel. Is that strange? You don't know them, but you do. There are few answers to be found on the nesting deck.
Eventually you will have no choice but to head out of the room. There’s only one way out that you can see: up through a spiraling hallway that arches overhead. When it opens again the space seems slightly less alien. There are doorways of a kind lining the walls and each one opens to a small, nearly normal room. There are no doors, so it's easy to see all the rooms are vacant. In seventeen of them there are items neatly stacked on the bed. Most are hygiene supplies. Some of them - a toothbrush, comb, razor - may be familiar to you. Others less so. There's a flat horizontal ledge beside the bed with a small light and a single drawer. Another table, apparently built into the wall, sits across the room with a chair. A mirror is on the desk; it’s slightly mundane and not quite to the Station’s style.
This room is yours for the moment. It doesn't mean someone won't want to trade - or take. Beyond this life support deck stretches the rest of Station 72. It is quiet and and twisting and perfectly inert.
At its most familiar, the Station is merely a still, empty ship with broad chambers and gently mottled light. At its worst, it’s an Escher painting of strange angles and bizarre platforms that seems grown as much as built. There are many ways to many places and while it seems all doors and passages open to you, there’s an unshakeable feeling that the space doesn’t quite match up - that there’s even more to the Station which you can’t yet see. Don’t get lost!
For now, you reach the floor of the nesting deck. When you do, something blooms in your mind. A voice, disturbingly lacking any identifying traits but warm and comfortable like sweetened milk, says:
( ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬...There you are...▬▬▬..Welcome to Station 72 ▬▬. )
If you follow the thread of that voice, you’ll eventually find your way either to Cathaway on the bridge or The Prince in the training wing.
((OOC Notes: Welcome to Station 72! Feel free to check out the SETTINGS page for more information about the Station. If you have any questions about the setting itself, feel free to ask them there; otherwise, please direct all questions to either the FAQ or MOD CONTACT pages.
Prince’s top level should be live in the evening! Keep an eye out for it if you want him to give your character the introduction spiel instead of Cathaway.
Happy hatchday, everyone! :) ))

no subject
That he does not is a testament to how dire his current situation truly is.] Ridiculous.
[Scoffed hard enough to catch the voice modulator, one additional hiss let out where his own voice trails off.] You know nothing of this place - you are of little use to me.
[Said every saturday morning cartoon villain ever.]
no subject
Hey, you're missing the point! How about using the connection to get a better look around here. Instead of forcing your way through till you find someone who can give you answers?
[ He holds an image of the woman he came across just earlier, Cathaway, clearly in his aching mind as he can. Holds it there almost tauntingly as he crosses arms over his chest, the sleeves of that garish neon blue jacket rustling. He shifts his weight back to one leg and pins the mask with the most judging look he can manage; his own mask for the fear of being lashed at again, molded by his own foul temper and haughtiness. ]
It worked for me.
oh my god that gag tag you brat <3
[But there is an image that comes to mind as he snaps back his rejection, one that has him stopping, straining to peel away the heavy interference hanging in the air between them. The rattling call of the Force, an entire nest of new, desperate minds...] You claimed to know nothing.
[WERE YOU FRICKIN' LYING TO HIM, YOU LITTLE BLUE ANIMOO??]
no subject
[ No patience, no patience left at all. If Ren were here he'd put a paw to his hand, gently remind him to calm back down and keep a level head, but he's not here. He's a broken and unmoving lump of blue fur stuffed into his bag, and without his cautious guidance Aoba's temper quickly flares up enough to make him forget about being afraid. ]
I'm trying to tell you, she does. She's got answers, not me or any of the others who just woke up here. So quit acting like a spoiled brat and hurting anybody who walks by! That's so stupid.
[ Seriously, he's worse than those awful whiny kids Mio, Kio, and Nao combined. ]
no subject
Mind yourself, boy.
[That's one.]
no subject
[ He may be letting his temper get the better of him, but he won't be treated like a child by someone who was acting like one first. And he has the gall to tell him to mind himself when HE STARTED IT HE STARTED IT HE STARTED IT HE STARTED IT HE STARTED IT HE STARTED IT-
Another beat runs through his senses and his head aches with a dull throb. It's that squirming feeling and echoing whisper in the back of his mind again.
Destroy.
It's there whenever he's thinking of doing something brash in a fit of anger. Of using Scrap, the way he had on Mizuki. It's tempting, but no, Aoba won't use it. This is no life or death matter, just a petty argument between strangers, and that reminder helps to dim the fire. He'd rather kick that bucket off his head before doing something drastic.
Actually the mental image of that is pretty funny. ]
no subject
No, not yet. His saber is too far; the luxury of necessary information is just as much. Better that he maintain restraint for the moment, and wait for a more opportune time to relieve any lingering animosity.
Violently.]
Your name.
[Give it, or he's taking it, Aoba.]
no subject
Yours first.
[ Or come and get it. The headache still pounding in his skull is enough to make him wince again and close an eye tight, and that echoing voice won't go away.
Destroy. If he lashes out again, destroy. ]
no subject
Kylo Ren.
no subject
Seragaki Aoba.
[ He's watching you Kylo Ren, and through his eyes, so is something else. Two sides struggling to look through the same lens. The Aoba at the forefront of his mind hates him, and the thing that lurks in the back revels in it... even if part of it is for a really dumb reason.
How dare this jerk have Ren as part of his name. He's not a good Ren at all! TCH!! ]
no subject
[Cold and hateful, a feeling that permeates the crackle of his modulator. There is more to this puzzle, that much he knows— senses keenly— but in the moment, he cannot afford to linger when there's no further information to be gleaned directly: Snoke would be wanting him. Snoke would be—]
We will speak again.
[And with that, he strides away, hardness present in his steps.]
