Pod Pop!

[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 Initiating|| 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.

One understands that, yes, time is a fluid substance. It can be manipulated, shaped, turned in on itself, rolled back, sped forward—even destroyed, given the determination. And yes, one also knows that there are many sorts of oddities that can occur should time be handled incorrectly, a whole multitude of paradoxes unexplored simply because they are erased the moment they are created. One can even assume that a single paradox may accidentally lead to other such paradoxes until the first is fixed, or something else is satisfied and the situation is, thus, corrected.

But this was just ridiculous.

The Doctor was lying on his side, curled up about as tightly as his frame would allow, covered in the obligatory layer of slime and nothing else, unmoving, and looking quite uncomfortable despite the softness of the fleshy floor supporting him. Of course it wasn’t really the floor that was bothering him—it was this whole situation, this nasty taste in his mouth and this sudden rush of vertigo and this voice that called itself Stacy, who is apparently also the ship in which he was currently stored, but really, none of that was registering, not yet. The Doctor’s innate sense of time was off to an incalculable degree wherein it was making his head quite fuzzy, though considering the circumstances this outcome was inevitable regardless of possible fluxes in the fourth dimension.

So—first things first (apart from the obvious and the already explained). Who was he? The same fellow as before? Everything seemed in order so far as he could tell—hair was roughly the same length and consistency, build was about right, all the usual landmarks were accounted for—but it was worth the check, even if moving out of his previous position hadn’t been accomplished instead. Said examination also helped to refocus his mind, get him back on track, set up some new priorities, remind him of a few relevant details.

Speaking of which. “Tegan? Nyssa?”

Somehow he didn’t expect a reply from either party, because there was always that third option that, simply because of its pure absurdity, actually better explained this whole thing. Thus he attempted that one next:

“…Doctor?”

…Heh. As if that would happen…

Whether or not the guy on the floor is aware of his surroundings, the finger being jabbed into his back is probably shocking, abrupt and unannounced as it is.

Axel tilted his head, pulling his finger back only to jab it into the man's back again. The redhead seemed not to care that they were both naked. Odd.

"Are you dead?" Poke. "You were talking a minute ago, so I don't think you're dead, but it's possible, after all, and the point of life is to embrace possibility!" Poke. "Hey." Poke. "Where are we?" Poke poke.

Everything was fuzzy.

Euphemia laid on the floor for a few long moments, trying to gather her bearings after finding herself somewhere strange, on a warm, pulsing platform, covered in... something disgusting. She shivered as she finally sat up, pushing her once-flowing and beautiful but now-sticky and goopy hair out of her face.

She heard the voice-that-wasn't-a-voice, but she could only half understand what it was saying. There was something... something important she had to do. Wasn't there?

No, she couldn't. It was something best left un-done. She wouldn't, she couldn't...

She finally stood up and looked around.

Her mission. She struggled, trying to fight it, to ignore it. But could she? It all depended, now, on who had woken up beside her.

Ugh, gross. Maybe not the most profound of first thoughts in this situation, but a fitting one. Amelia pushed herself up from the floor into a sitting position. She paused when she heard the weird voice, but it didn't make much sense. Was it a Spirit? But she couldn't feel any Spirits nearby...

She shoved her hair out of her eyes (guh-roooooss this was going to take forever to wash out) and looked around the dizzying cavern. She closed her eyes, turned on her Spiritalker's Sight, and took another look.

It only made things more dizzying. Swirls of blue and green spiraled into infinity, with tiny dots of other colours marking other figures in the distance. She turned off her Sight before it triggered a migraine.

She set her hands on the floor to push herself to her feet, and that was when she realized she was completely naked.

When you're from a society that considers bare shoulders vulgar, that kind of thing comes as a shock. She screamed, pressed herself back against the nearest vertical surface, and curled up in an attempt to preserve as much modesty as she could.

Vader couldn't breathe.

He coughed as he fell to the floor, hard, clawing his way forward through muck and slime. Something, clearly, had gone wrong. His lightsaber was gone, the suit that had been keeping him alive was gone- he weakly swatted at the tentacles around him, wondering what fresh hell this was. Clearly he'd been captured, perhaps by some Jedi faction (which would explain the voices within his head), perhaps by the Black Sun, but for now his only goals were to locate and kill every being responsible for his current situation.

Unfortunately for him, the first person to notice the furious old man was someone who likely could qualify for "Most likely to get force choked" in the yearbook.

"Dude are you OK? I mean...well you don't look so hot!" Beastboy scurried over showing a complete lack of "A: Common sense and B: A sense of self preservation."

Nehaalista was one prone to panicking only when absolutely necessary, and, as she looked up and around the cavern she was so rudely deposited into, panic seemed like a logical conclusion.

Light help me, she thought, trying to remove the goop from her person. I've turned into one of those crazy, naked idiots from Stormwind. She looked around, her tail twitching, the unmistakable feeling of something oozing from between her hooves making her antsy and twitchy. It took quite a bit of willpower to not think about how the goop she'd just come out of had ruined her hair.

Instinctively, she reached out to the Light, and felt it respond. Relief flooded through her, even as Stacy continued to explain. So, she wants me to go... that way. I guess. Good, good. I can do that... Nehaalista straightened her shoulders and started walking.

Panic. That was the first thing that registered through Riza's mind as the world lurched and she was freed of the pod. Pure panic, and all things considered this was a reasonable thing. She was not in Central, and the last she remembered happened to be defending her Colonel from a devastating blast from the one who called himself 'Father'. And now? Well, now, we know the story of where she was and the soldier couldn't help but let the swift, uneasy panic rush over her mind. After years spent with alchemists and the like you think one would be used to this sort of thing, but that was not the case.

However much she wanted to panic, on the surface Riza kept calm. She always kept calm, the levelheaded one of the situation when it came to herself and the Colonel. That wouldn't change even as she mumbled to her self, moved slowly in the slime--well aware that she was nude, something she had never been around others. (Save the man she entrusted her back and its secrets too.) She hoped the slime, whatever it may have been, at least covered up the scarred pieces of her alchemy crazed father to the open eye.

Breathing in the taste made her face scrunch, but she shook her head to ward it off. And then she questioned, the answer in response not making the woman at all too happy. She didn't care about being here, and the words were ones she kept in mind, with a small natural frown. Whatever was going on one thought registered to the bodyguard's mine; she had to find the Colonel no matter the circumstances. He was blind and it was her duty to protect him as she always had, save the fact she didn't know if he was here. To her mind, he had to be.

And that idea was the woman's drive as she moved after the cleaning and the... body suit. (Something that was with almost a tinge of familiarity due to her surveillance work.) Well aware that without a gun on her she was a liability to the man anyway. Whatever this was, she didn't know if she believed it, if they wanted her to fight they sure as hell better gave her a sniper rifle back and lead her to the man she was protecting. That was the end of the story. Quietly, without questioning, solemnly she stood and peered around the area. The sniper in her disliking the movement against her feet and the surrounding area. This was wrong.

Marcus Wright wakes up on the floor of somewhere very unfamiliar, covered in something he'd really rather not be covered in, for the second time this week. "Oh, you have got to be f%cking kidding me." he mutters, wiping pod-goo out of his eyes. It's not spectacularly effective, mostly because his hands are also covered in goop, but at least he can see now. The lack of dead bodies nearby is a pleasant change, as is the lack of people trying to kill him-- for the moment, anyway. He could worry about where he was and what the voice in his head said later (destroyers of worlds? Great Purpose?); now would be a good time to find other people and some clothes.

This is really not his week.

That whole lack of people trying to kill him might just change in a moment here.

John coughed, and spat as he tried to get the goop out of his mouth. He had no idea where he was, and what the hell was going on. All he knew is there was some machine that had told him he chosen. Apparently it hadn't gotten the memo. He certainly wasn't going to take it's word for it that it was benevolent. Of course that was a bit of a problem. He was naked, and completely unarmed. That needed to change right now!

Finally with the gunk out of his lungs, and eyes John could survey the situation. Where ever he was it didn't look like anything Skynet had built before. It didn't actually look like anything from Earth now that he thought about it. Something was very wrong here. Finally his eyes noticed someone else. Moving a bit closer recognition dawned on him. It couldn't be. He should be dead. Had to be dead. Not unless he'd been sent back in time somehow, but that made even less sense than it usually did. Slowly he moved closer. "Marcus?"

Christ he really hoped so.

She had been asleep, dreaming of walking a beach that had been atomized twenty-one years ago, with her parents - her mother, dead for as long, and her father, who had died four years before that. For a moment, as it changed, she clung to a hope that the dream had simply soured.

But Winter was enough of a realist to know better than that.

Standing a little shakily, without worrying too much about nudity - she'd served for long enough that modesty was a luxury, and if the people around her would be scarred by looking at a well-preserved forty-year-old, that was their problem - she tried to compare her surroundings to the thousands of architectural styles she'd seen before. Plenty had similarities, but none of them were even close.

She glanced around at the people picking themselves up, or already standing, around her.

Leia stared intently -- this woman was a dead-ringer for her best friend, except for the age. She shook her head, even more confused than before.

"Winter?"

It was not the first time Sylia could remember waking up without knowing where she was or what had happened to her. It was the first time she had done so naked and coming to consciousness lying on the floor in a puddle of slime.

It was also the first time the floor and walls around her were breathing, and felt like some kind of cross between flesh and metal that only brought one thought screeching to mind for her-- Boomer. She was naked and defenseless and alone and this was a Boomer.

It was understandable, then, that she was screaming in hysterical panic and crawling into the nearest corner-like area as soon as she was awake.

Axel blinks, popping his head around a pod to stare at the screaming girl like she had gone mad. Which, all things considered, she might have. And it's not like he has a problem with mad people -- he works with twelve of them.

Still, as he shifts himself around the wall, folding his arms over his chest, he lifts an eyebrow and looks generally skeptical. Because skepticism is fun.

"You know, screaming tends to make the bad things come towards you."

The humidity didn't prevent Leia from breaking out into a cold sweat.

This sense of entrapment was too familiar. She couldn't run away from the disembodied voice booming in her head. Panic gave way to shock. Leia was curled into herself, lying there, not willing to move; not willing to let her body admit that this wasn't a nightmare.

"Am..." she stopped as soon as she got the first word out. (It hadn't woken her. That's all she needed to know.)

Her last memory took place in the middle of the night. She couldn't sleep, and was pacing outside the Falcon on Endor, a man's sleep clothes wrapped around her. Her mind had been relaxed with fresh, night air and she'd boarded the ramp back inside to his-- their?-- bunk.

Had someone seen her? Did they think she was an easy target? Leia shut her eyes in shame; if that's how she'd been brought on board, then she obviously was. But no; she'd made it into bed safe and sound. How did this happen?

Muscles clenching, she stood up.

Vader knows that presence.

Inch by agonizing inch, he makes his way towards the familiar presence-- Padme? Of course not. It does not help that he cannot see, sound comes to him in confusing waves, and he feels nothing but the slow shut down of all his systems.

He grabs something he assumes is an ankle.

"Dude..."

That was all Beastboy could manage for the time being. Everything was happening so fast after all.

First the snot and the naked and the heat and the robo mommy voice and the suit that feels like it's a few seconds away from groping him and now...champion? Whut?

Still he was handling things with his usual Beastboy flare which is to say...not at all gracefully. Brushing off any and all concern about what was going on he decided to test his suit for shapeshifting abilities turning into various animals to see if the suit would break or go with him.

"Doo-d?"

Chirps. Yes, chirps. Many curious chirps and not too far away, there's a blue...uhm...critter...thing...bumble-crawling toward the voice. Oh, yes, it parrots back nearly anything it hears in English. Why? Language lessons never stop.

While the oddity may run into things, unexpected obstacles and such, with the same clumsiness as George of the Jungle and his penchant for face-planting trees, the oddity eventually stops crawling, sits down on its huge feet...and repeats the word.

For a disoriented moment in the warm humidity, some tactile memory told him that he was back at the beaches of Onogoro, where the air hung wet and heavy and hot before summer storms. Had he fallen in the water? His mouth tasted of salt and something was shifting beneath him like tides at the very edge of the sea, but –

But that didn’t make any sense.

Shinn blinked his eyes open, wiping something slimy off his face. It wasn’t waves moving below him; it was the ground. And above – it was like staring at one of the PLANTs from the bottom of a maintenance shaft, watching pedways and rising and disappearing into a ceiling too far to see, except that the architecture was nothing like the colonies. Instead of precise lines and fluorescent lighting, there were organic curves and dips, all green-tinged in the weird light. It definitely wasn’t Onogoro -- or anywhere else he’d been.

He bolted to his feet, hands balling into fists, mind racing with a thousand variations on where fuck why how dammit when the voice spoke.

She imparted a sense of reassurance he hadn’t felt in years, something he couldn’t put a finger on. The affection in that voice was tangible as sunlight, as calming as the vaulting room was eerie, and he found that he loved that voice, too. As long as she was speaking, it didn’t seem to strange to be dressed by tentacles or to gather the small pink phone off a shelf of assorted keepsakes or make his way to a larger chamber.

When she stopped talking, however, all bets were off.

He shook his head as though physically casting off the daze he’d slipped into. Without Stacy speaking, a few facts became painfully clear: he’d been in some sort of stasis, there were tentacles that put clothes on people, and he had no idea where in the world or stars he was.

“What the hell just happened?”

Nehaalista shrugged at Shinn as she passed him. Her hair was painfully straight because of the goop, but at least she'd found her headband, and a few little things, like her aura stone mace and her shield.

Her sidebag seemed to be missing things like her cobalt, but it did have her Gnomish pen and the last few pieces of parchment left. Thank the Light for small favors.

[Shall we go find out?] she wrote, and showed him the note as she stepped gingerly away.

[identity profile] rekindle.livejournal.com 2010-06-01 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Her head was like a drum, beating, almost pounding, lightly in a rhythmic tempo. She could feel the ground beneath her pulsating almost in sync, but she was too out of sorts for it to fully register right then. It was for the best; that might have made things weirder than they already were. Cagalli laid there with her eyes closed for what seemed like an eternity, trying to get her bearings.

The first thing the girl noticed was the smell of the surrounding area. It was hard to describe offhand, yet her mind was able to connect it to how soldiers often smelled (and probably felt) after a long, hard battle. Taste was discovered immediately after when she opened her mouth to breathe better. Nothing but salt and a little dry mouth. Pleasant.

Slowly, she rolled over on to her stomach, propping herself up on her elbows, inhaling slowly, making sure to keep the goop out of her mouth. Eyes opened cautiously, taking in the surrounding area.

Things came into focus a little bit at a time. Not that there was much to see besides the pods, of course, but those were enough to make her eyes widen slightly.

After a little staring, Cagalli began to get to her feet, albeit a little unsteadily.

Still woozy from being, oh, woken up from a coma, Shinn tripped over an errant pair of legs and stumbled with the grace of a retarded koala. Arms waving to break the fall, his hands settled on a soft something that he was fairly certain was neither the organic floor nor the pod goo. He blinked, and then --

"-- sorry!" he flushed, stepping back and looking away in a hurry.

"Damn, I look good."

The voice carries out of his particular pod-y cave-y thing, Axel grinning way too enthusiastically for being naked and covered in a strange, sticky substance. Long-fingered, agile hands settle on his hips, eyes fixed on his pretty, sculpted abs, and it takes a moment for him to look adequately baffled that the floor was moving.

"Damn, that's weird."

He crouches, prodding at the matter below his feet, feeling the slight give of... what honestly looks like plant matter. Curiouser and curiouser. He promptly has a jovial conversation with the voice in his head -- some lady named Stacy.

Intrigued, a head of flaming red hair -- with an angular, green-eyed face attached -- pokes around the corner, short eyebrows lifting.

"Hello?"

The reply is immediate, since Lacus is standing directly around the corner, still well coated in the thick slime, a small, goo-covered round pink ball in her hands. Long hair, the same pink as the ball, is slick with the coating and sticking to her, offering a bit of modesty -- but not much, so it's good that she doesn't seem to mind.

"Hello!"

Her expression is friendly, curious, looking as though nothing could be wrong with waking up naked in a pod.

xD

SPLAT.

With a heavy gooey thud, Ed landed with an ungainly thump. He groaned and pushed himself up reflexively, only to discover that his arm and leg were missing. All that sat there was the connections which were bare.

"What... the... hell..."

Shaking his long loose hair out of his eyes, he pushed himself up to a sitting position. Analyze now, freak out next. Yeah that was good.

Riza was cleaned and changed. Relieved that no one seemed to see the tattoo that was on her back, she had still stood, standing and eying the area in thought. Uncertain still of what to make of the situation, but a familiar voice piqued in her ears and she froze. Ember eyes catching light carefully as her head turned quickly towards the noise, not caring if he might still be you know... nude at the moment. They were stuck in this situation together.

She froze a serious expression taking over. "Edward!" came the woman's voice, still with her mind heavily laden on the Colonel. However, for the moment she kept firm as she approached the boy---who she had of course noted that his automail limbs were missing.

"You'll need help, Edward."

Her voice was firm, unquestioning. She didn't know where the automail was, but that didn't matter.

Sometimes things went a little crazy on what should've been a routine mission, and any Hunter worth his weight in titanium-x knew it. The reinforcements that intelligence hadn't picked up on, the environmental hazards that your spotter didn't catch fast enough to warn you about, those occasional (though thankfully rare) times when one routine mission suddenly ended in eight much bigger ones, yet another fight with Sigma, and the whole thing going down in the books as the latest full-blown Maverick Uprising.

And hey, sometimes you even woke up not remembering how the hell you'd gone from doing a backflip off the nearest vertical surface and dishing out the pain to the latest public enemy to...well, being in a situation that would require waking up from in the first place. (Axl tried to avoid those. Being stuck in medical with Lifesaver for a babysitter was never any fun.)

But even if he'd managed to take one in the back (unlikely but possible) or miss his landing (flat out not happening, he had pride to worry about, after all), he'd be waking up in medical.

Not in a freaky pulsing cavern, covered in...

...yeah, Axl wasn't sure he wanted to think about just what that stuff was.

It didn't look like X or Zero was around, but if they were, he could almost guess what the first thing they'd say to him was -- and the answer came like a reflex. "Whatever just happened, I didn't do it."

The first things Cassie noticed when she came to were the feelings. First, the taste in her mouth, then the goopy feeling all over her body. Then the fact that she was sprawled out on a floor. She gasped and instantly sat up a little, looking frantically around. No Rachel. No pool ship.

She asked where she was but the answer was too vague. At first she thought it may have been the Ellimist’s doing, but the voice sounded different somehow. After asking who the voice was, feelings washed over her. She leaned forward, placing her hands on the floor as if bracing the wave of emotion. Well this certainly was new.

It was then that she actually noticed the floor pulsing beneath her hands. Not only was Stacy a type of robotic sounding intelligence, she was also the ship. And the ship was alive! She felt the pulse of the floor seem to match her own pounding heart. She pulled her hands away, going back to the sitting up position she was in. It was too weird.

But then there was also the calming warmth. Could she trust it? Could she trust her? There was really nothing she could do about it though. If it had ill intent, if she really was the ship then she could have just killed her by now. Unless the warmth was an indication that she wanted to manipulate.

Still, that didn’t seem right. Cassie felt that the feeling Stacy gave were genuine. Still, only time could tell for sure.

“Why? Why am I here?” She asked softly.

After her first thoughts were cleared out of the way, her mind became open to the fact that she was naked. Maybe it was this… disturbing goop, whatever it was, that made her unaware of it. After spending so much time in morphing outfits, it didn’t really feel that much different at first. She changed her sitting position to cover the important parts, using an arm as well before looking around to see if anyone else saw her. If anyone else was there.

If there was an embarrassing situation, she could just start morphing. Something with fur would do.

While Cassie was lost in her thoughts, another pod nearby was opening. A lanky, dark-haired boy tumbled out of it heavily. His long hair was matted to his head with goo, and he coughed to get the slime out.

Just moments ago he'd been climbing the stairs of the parade throne, preparing for the victory parade that would bring all of his plans to fruition. Suzaku knew what he had to do. C.C. had chosen not to be in the area. He supposed he could understand. He had to break his contract with her. But even she understood the larger purpose.

But now, he was naked, and slimy, and undignified, and this would not do. He lifted his head, and pushed his hair out of his face. He regarded the girl nearby, she was in a similar state as he was. Thus, she probably knew just as much about what was going on. Who was she speaking to?

But as he asked the question, he heard the source. The warm, loved feeling flooded him, and for the briefest of moments he was in a reverie, back at Aeries. But he pushed that away. He could no longer have that. He no longer deserved that. Not for what he's done to Nunnally.

He pushed himself up onto his knees, and regarded his companion again. It was then he realized that even his contacts were gone. He would have to speak carefully. Assuming he would at all.

With a wet Schllllllick! Jim Kirk slips bare-assed from his hibernation pod and onto the weird, shifting deck of Stacy's pod caverns. He blinks to himself for a few moments before he realises what's going on.

Naked? Check. Gooey? Check. Splitting headache? Check. Bathed in darkness? Checkity check.

Okay. Okay. He's been here before, it's no big deal. All he needs to do is find his pants and the key to his quarters and sneak out of here before conquest number... y'know, he's got to start keeping score sometime. But never mind that, he really ought to split before "she" wakes up and starts offering him pancakes.


He'd never be able to turn down pancakes...

Here, have a grinning redhead!

Axel, convenient Nobody that he is, pops around the corner just in time to see yet another naked person coming to on the bizarre, squishy floor of wherever-they-are.

"Good morning, sunshine! You've got a little something... right here." He waves his hands around his whole body to indicate that "right here" means "everywhere", and grins like a jackass.

If there was one thing Mara Jade Skywalker hated it was disembodied voices in her head. If there were two things she hated, it would be that and...standing naked in some damp room with random people.

She stayed where she was, on the floor, pushing her hands through her damp hair, feeling the pulse of the floor. Eugh. She could try to hope that this was all some trick of Jacen's, that he had gotten to her in some other way than fighting in a cavern on Kavan...but that felt a little too optimistic.

So she stood up and followed the lights, let them lead her to be cleaned and clothed and listens to Stacy's voice again (she is more comforting than Palpatine ever was...but than in itself was not a very comforting thought) and stood over her belongings, arms crossed.

Winter didn't pick up much in the way of belongings - when she had the luxury to do so she loved having fine things, but somehow she thought that she wouldn't have that luxury here and now. It had been a long time since her agent days.

It was a relief to see someone she knew who wasn't half the proper age, though in this lighting Winter honestly couldn't tell if Mara was quite how she remembered her.

"Mara Jade," she said, sounding much more composed than she felt.

... Well, this was certainly unexpected. One moment, Koishi had been on her way back to the Palace of the Earth Spirits, intent on visiting her sister and her pets after a long time away from home. The next... she was here. Wherever here was, and she was certain "here" wasn't anywhere in Gensokyo.

Oh... and she was naked. Naked and covered in slime. And there was a voice speaking in her head. That actually surprised Koishi more than anything else. She hasn't heard anyone speaking to her telepathically in a long time. Since before she sealed her Third Eye.

Her Third Eye...

... Her Third Eye was gone.

After going through what felt like a second birth - a birth meant only for putrid bugs - a curled heap of Astrid immediately sat up, tossing her head to the side to spit and cough, desperately trying to clear the gook and it's taste from her mouth. The back of her hands rubbed furiously at her eyes, pulling them away momentarily to get a better glimpse at herself, taking notice of the lack of the familiar weight of her wares. And whatever this disgusting substance was it literally covered her-- and to the viking girl's utter horror, she also happened to be naked.

She felt like screaming, though nothing escaped her vocals. She choked back embarrassment and merely shrank there for a moment, hugging her thin form, and her head twisting in all directions to get some bearings to where she is. A knot formed in her throat, panic was clearly setting in. Suffice to say, she did not like what she saw and definitely she did not like what she felt under her knees.

There was a voice next, it tried to soothe her. Clutching the side of her head, the girl bent over, blue eyes darting everywhere. Freya...? No. This entity was completely foreign.

Was that a scream somewhere? Oh no. More were breaking free.

If someone had popped beside her, Astrid wouldn't know. In fact, once her wobbly legs were working again, she bolted, nearly slipping in her own slime, but quickly regaining her footing and following the trail of lights in a mad dash up the spiraling walkway all the while keeping her head low to avoid locking her eyes with the abundance of pods that lined at all sides.

This. Sucks.

This was not Hobbie's day. Then again, when was it ever? He slowly picked himself up off the floor of the cavern, coughing and swiping at the goop that was all over him. He was confused, not to mention that there was a voice in his head.

"Where...?"

This had to be some sort of nightmare. Knowing his luck, it probably wasn't. Time to get some answers.

[identity profile] angel-ofthe.livejournal.com 2010-06-02 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Have a man next to you, Hobbie, just as naked as you are, with matching goo in his dark brown hair. He's grimacing slightly, but looking around the cavern with interest. When he speaks, his voice is gravely. "Purgatory, most likely."

"I've been to hell, and this isn't it."

Thrawn stood and eyed the pod he'd just vacated. It put him unsettlingly in mind of what one would end up with after describing a Spaarti cylinder to the Vong, and that was not a possibility he particularly enjoyed contemplating.

The only external sign of his discomfiture was a slight tightness around his jaw and glowing red eyes, and Thrawn slicked back his hair in an unconscious grooming gesture, sending a glob of the goo covering him to the floor with a splat. There were others pulling themselves to their feet around him, appearing just as disoriented as he felt. He doubted any of them had answers.

[identity profile] broken-buster.livejournal.com 2010-06-02 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
There's a pop, and he has company as a young woman splats against the floor, coughing goo out of her lungs. Subaru shakes her head, trying to clear it of whatever thoughts were filling it beforehand, and tilts her head as she listens to Stacy's telepathic message.

"There's easier ways of asking." She wipes goop from her eyes and turns to look about spotting Thrawn pretty easily. She blinks for a moment, then yelps loudly and covers herself. "S-Sorry!" She didn't mean to look at you getting your nude on, Grand Admiral.

There were a great deal of things Sarah Connor minded.  Most of them were metal monsters trying to kill her and her son, shrinks trying to use her as a case study on delusional and occasionally homicidal psychosis, and piece of shit motherfuckers that stuffed her into gelatinous pods and then dumped her on the motherfucking floor of some disgusting room.  Right now, as she lay curled up and cussing under her breath as she forced herself to, she was pretty much cussing at whatever the hell was in her goddamn head.

This had to be Skynet.

Nothing else made any sense and she didn't believe a fucking word.

"Go to hell," she growled between grit teeth and then spat to try and rid her mouth of the salt and blood taste.  "Champions of bullshit." 

Sarah Connor was one cranky motherfucker, and as she got to her feet, her hands curled into fists.

First Marcus, and now this. Skynet was either going through a lot of trouble to fuck with him, or maybe they'd finally just broken time. She couldn't be alive, and not looking like that. Not like she did when he was ten. Christ, he wished he had a dog right now to know for sure. "Mom? Is that really you?"

The last thing Lightning remembered was...

...flying.

Leaping out of the Pulse airship and falling, flying, spinning, shooting the crystal to release Fang's Eidolon - "Here!" - more falling, reaching out a hand and-

Nothing. Blackness. Had she missed? That was the conclusion she was forced to come to as she lay there, gasping, her vision swimming. It was a moment before she was able to lift her head, and another before she opened her eyes, and they stung with some alien substance she was covered with. She reached up with hands she couldn't admit were shaking and wiped it away. Glops of it dropped from her fingers to the ground. The ground that pulsed beneath her.

This wasn't Gran Pulse, though. That much she could tell. She was inside...something, somewhere. Where?

"What the hell?" she croaked. There were others. Others in a state similar to her; naked and covered in ooze. But none of them she recognized.

"Jesus Christ, if this is a Quiet, it's a doozy," he muttered to himself. Slicking back goo-stained hair and shaking the scum off--and realizing he was butt naked--Stephen decided he'd just...have a seat. Right there. Just so long as it wasn't in a pile of slime...

Jenny coughed as she slowly started to stand, the goo she was covered in making it hard for her to keep her footing. She blinked rapidly, trying to take in her surroundings as she pushed a curtain of long, blond, goopy hair away from her face. Feeling the warm air against her skin, covered only by a sheen of the odd liquid and sweat, she instinctually covered her body as best she could with her hands. She wasn't alone. There was a man, in the same situation as she was...

But what situation was she in? How had she gotten here? She had been in her shuttle, on her way back to Messaline, when... Nothing.

Nothing at all.

She felt her hearts beat even harder as adrenaline coursed through her, a telltale sign of a new adventure. Jenny mumbled to herself, "Quite an interesting nothing..."
