Pod Pop initiating

[ooc: Newbie Helpers List | Instructions: Post your character with one post establishing them as being podpopped. If you would like to play out them talking to the AI, please send an email to the mods making the request--we do this only by request. Then move onto the big Newbie Meeting.

||Pod Release Protocols Initating|| Stacy's familiar voice sounds out to all the podmates through the ship.

In the Pod Caverns, there are the sounds of: Pop. Pop pop pop. Poppuhpoppoppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiiiissssss.

There is condensation and mist spraying out from cracks in the pods, as the people inside slide out onto the floors, covered in slime.

--


There was nothing. You were going about your normal life, then there was a bright light, and then? Nothing.

Then the world lurches.

The chamber here is humid.

Actually, "chamber" isn't quite accurate. You're in a cavern, half-lit by an eerie greenish light, going on and on as far as the eye can see. The light is coming from what can only be described as pods, glistening, round greenish-yellow things, glowing with a pale inner light, outlining human -- and not quite human -- forms. Each is rooted to the floor, to the walls, with something black, twisted, and unidentifiable.

They line the walls of the cavern, go up in maddeningly high columns, curling and corkscrewing up into the darkness, until the light from them is like that of the stars, glowing pale and mournful in clusters in the darkness above. Twisted walkways and stairs crisscross, traverse the platforms in front of the pods, wending their way back and forth, up and down through the chamber.

You just came from one of those pods, broke free like a butterfly from a (slimy, nasty) chrysalis.

Now you stand alone but not quite alone, naked, not knowing how you got there, who took you, or why you were taken.

As your body heats up again, you realize the air is warm -- just a few degrees too warm to be comfortable -- and muggy; it smells acrid and organic, like freshly spilt blood and sweat. Your mouth tastes of salt.

The floors are pulsing under your feet, throbbing...

Wherever you are, this entire place...is alive.

Oh, and also you're naked and covered in alien snot.

When you call out, ask where you are, a voice speaks to you, in your head. She tells you:

||You are here.||

When you ask who she is, she tells you that her name is STA'C K'LTRRB'TXFT, but that you may call her Stacy. When she tells you who she is, there is a gush of emotion, love, maternal warmth. You are on a ship. She is that ship. Her name is Stacy and she loves you.

Glowing phosphorescenet lights appear in pustules along the floor. They lead you up a massive spiraling walkway that gives you a view of what are possibly millions in stasis. At the top is a room with moving vines that clean you and clothe you in a plant-like body-suit--soft, but durable. After that, the lights lead you to a great cavernous room with a clear floor that lets you see all the holes and tunnels in the walls of it. When you reach the center, the last thing she tells you before whisking you away to gather your belongings and meet the rest of the crew is this reassuring thought:

||You have been Chosen to accomplish a Great Purpose.||

"Anakin?" Obi-Wan called, the coughed where he stood, leaning against the wall. Remarkable place, but hardly the sort of slimy experience on takes part in voluntarily. Raising his voice, Obi-Wan moved as steadily as he could manage towards the shout he'd heard, "Anakin! Over here!"

"Master?!" Anakin called back in surprise. He was here as well?! Anakin turned sharply and headed towards the voice though he was not as graceful in moving as he normally was.

"What is going on here?" He asked, trying to keep his voice as calm sounding as ever. He hated being in situations beyond his control and this was certainly one of those times.

"I was just on my way to the Council when this -- and why are we naked?!"

He tried to calm himself down again.

"And I assure you this wasn't my fault this time."

ohey. I know you.

A snort of derision. not his fault, indeed.

"I'm not blaming you— whatever this is, it's clearly beyond either of us," Obi-Wan assured, holding one hand up to stem to tide of frustrated exclamations, "As to our clothes...I have no idea. I must say, this is the strangest kidnapping I've ever taken part in."

Orly?

"We were kidnapped?!" Anakin only heard half of what Obi-Wan said, which wasn't unusual at all.

He threw his arms up in the air. "This is just great. We are in the middle of a war, and now this happens. ... Do you think it was the separatists?"

Oh if it was them, they would have a lot to pay. He would find out who did this and why.

"I just don't understand why we are naked and covered in... whatever this is."

"Honestly, I don't know what to think," He replied with a shake of his head. He wasn't listening, as usual, "I have no idea. One moment I was where I ought to be, and with no warning— this. It's madness."

Ah, yes, the slime.

"I'd...rather not think too long on it."

"It certainly is. But at least I'm not stuck here alone. I'm sure together we'll be able to figure things out." He paused for a moment. "I hope."

He'd also would rather not be too concerned with the slime... but he'd like to get it off of him. And find some clothes, yes, that would be a good idea.

"I think we should look around. Find out more about this place."

Sarcastically, Obi-Wan tilted his head back at the illuminated walkway. Not alone, would you rather trap others here? Impetuous Anakin, as always it made him smile, "Well, the obvious answer would be that way, wouldn't you say?"
