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

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

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

Pop. Poppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiissss.

Rose starts making her way along the lighted path, trying and failing to shake the skin-crawling feeling that she's being watched. Despite seriously wanting to scream she tries to keep calm. The less disoriented she gets and the more her hyper-awareness kicks online the clearer her precognition becomes.

But now both panes are the same horrifying specter. She's gratified only that nothing seems to be jumping out of the shadows to eat her now or in the next ten seconds.

When she finally reaches the end of the lighted walkway she just stares at the little room with it's ceiling apparently lined with...

"What the-?"

The vision of the tentacles grabbing her hits and she reels backward a few steps. "Oh I am NOT going in there to get manhandled by vines! What the hell is this?"

||This is the Clothing Room,|| the voice answered. ||Step into the circle and you will be clothed.||

"....I will be clothed." A pause. "By TENTACLES?"

[cityship]

||Yes.||

Ever so helpful.

Rose stares flatly at the room for a moment, then sighs.



She steps slowly forward into the circle and stands still, bracing for the impact she knows is coming. Being prepared for it sincerely does not make it any less creepy-feeling however.

When the vines drop her again she examines the plant suit with a mixture of horror and faint awe. The awe is off the table as soon as she feels it pulse for the first time.

"Oh God is this thing ALIVE?!"

ZOMG!! ATTACK OF THE CREEPY VINES OF DOOM!!!

Rose is lifted off the ground by the tendrils, which slide over her body, clothing it in a plantlike jumpsuit before setting her down. They even wipe some of the excess slime from her body as they lower her back to the floor.

||Yes.|| the voice answered. ||It will not harm you.||

Rose can't help a twitch.

"You are the least helpful guide EVER... There have to be other people in this place right? Where do I find them?"

[cityship]

||The active crew will meet you in the observation deck.|| the voice answered.

||I can show the way there. Or perhaps you would prefer to obtain your possessions from the Weapons Locker first.||

[ravaged-rose.livejournal.com]

"Wha - you have my STUFF here?"

Rose perks up at that. GOD does she want her gear back right now!

"Weapons Locker first, definetely!"

Another trail of lighted pustules appeared on the floor.

||Follow the lights.||
