Podpop-ery
[ooc: Newbie Helpers List | Instructions: Post your character with one post establishing them as being podpopped. Tag each other in groups of 2's, 3's, and 4's, to get some interaction to start with. If a thread doesn't already have 2 or 3 people tagged in, tag it with your character's podpop popping near the other people, rather than making a new subthread. 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. Once your character has gotten the rundown from the old crew, you may start posting entrance posts and freely tagging.]
||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. Her voice is warm and motherly, even if these messages sound almost automated.
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. You have been Chosen to help fight the Ohm, a race of insectoid beings that are the destroyers of worlds.||
||You have been Chosen as champions of life, as protectors of the worlds and peoples that are left. The others are waiting for you. They will explain everything.||
She will tell you nothing more. Your answers lie with these "others" she speaks of.

Nova was used to stares. Heck, she got enough of those when she was fully clothed as it was, it wasn't anything different to her. And it didn't matter that she was naked. Heck, if the men on this ship were juvenile enough to react to every naked woman they saw, well hell, she wanted off the ship. Even if she was, absolutely gorgeous.
Running her fingers through her hair, she tilted her head at him.
"Seems that following the yellow brick road," she made a casual motion at the light at their feet, "is pretty much all we can do for the moment."

At least if he followed the ridiculous lights, he'd be clothed. And clean. Small favors. Stepping past the woman - trying very hard not to take another very good look - he walked toward the vines, and resisted the urge to bat them all away.
"Who are you?

"It was more like thirsty seconds if you ask me, but fair enough." In her experience, the most obvious course of action, while not always the safest, was usually the easiest. Or failing that, the most fun. It depended on the situation. As far as she could tell however, from the sound and feeling of the voice in her head, they didn't have all too much to worry about. Besides, she could handle herself.
He could have looked all he wanted for all she cared. Her nakedness didn't seem to phase her one bit. The goop that covered them however, was a different story. And she was almost anxious to get it off herself and get into some clothes. The tentacles weren't all that worrying, despite the way they reached for her.
"Nova. You?"

He did watch her from the corner of his eye, wondering if she didn't notice or didn't mind. It seemed like an important distinction. "Are you human?"
(((D: Shank it.)))

She barely paid any attention as she was cleaned and dressed, taking a moment to fix her hair, throwing it over her shoulder once it was dry. She didn't object to the plansuit either. It hugged her curves, and the pulsing was different. But it was pretty comfortable to be honest.
At his question, he got another quizzical look and a shrug. "You could say so."

"What do you mean?"
(((Does the job!)))
