Podpop
[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 phosphorescent 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.

Midna is also not wearing any clothes. Not that she ever does.
no subject
"I am Lion-O, Lord of the ThunderCats, and a Thunderian, since you asked. And what are you? An imp of some sort?"
no subject
She hovers a little closer to him, curious. "A Thunderian, huh? Never heard of them. So why are you here?"
no subject
Lion-O crosses his arms thinks. "Did you happen to hear a voice in your head when you woke up? I think it, she, said were were here to fight something called the Ohm."
no subject
no subject
no subject
She looked at Lion-O a little skeptically. Another knight in shining armor type, huh? "I had a partner, actually -- but I don't see him here."
"And yeah, you'd think someone who wanted our help'd bother to ask us if we were interested first. So. What exactly is a Thunderian?"
no subject
Lion-O looks around a moment. "I'd be happy to help you find your partner. I'll be looking for my friends, the ThunderCats. It would be easier if I had the Sword of Omens with me. I wonder if these people brought it here with me."
no subject
"The ThunderCats? I guess they all basically look like you? Kinda like big cats." Midna looked thoughtful. "Does it have to be that specific sword? Or would any sword be okay?"
no subject
"It does. Only with the Sword of Omens and the Eye of Thundera can I use Sight Beyond Sight to find my friends."
no subject
Sounds like the ThunderCat version of the Master Sword, actually. "So are you some big hero back home or something?"
no subject
"Yes, something like that. The ThunderCats and I have sworn to protect the innocent and uphold the Code of Thundera; Truth Justice, Honor, and Loyalty. Besides that, I've had to fight off many evil beings, including Mumm-Ra. Ever heard of him?"
no subject
"Nope, can't say I have. Who is he?"
no subject
no subject
no subject
"I've almost lost count of how many times I've come face to face with that dried husk and red beady eyes. Who was that Twilight invader you mentioned? Maybe I've heard of him."
no subject
Her expression darkened at his question. "Zant. The self-styled king and ruler of the Twilight Realm. But he's no king of mine. He invaded the realm of-- of Hyrule, intending to rule both worlds under a curtain of Twilight. Guess he wasn't satisfied with one kingdom."
no subject
no subject
no subject
"Something must be keeping it back. I believe it is here though, I can feel it."
no subject
He can feel where the sword is, huh? A useful talent. "We can start up that row of lights there, if you'd like."
no subject
no subject
"Seen any of your friends?"
no subject
"Do you posses some form of magic?"
