Multiversal travel can be disorienting, but there’s no need to worry! All side effects are temporary and lessen with each trip. Your body may experience several sensations at once: being pushed forward as if a hand is resting on your back, momentary and startling blindness, a gentle ringing in your head. You may have difficulty discerning whether it is hot or cold, but where you have been prodded is noticeably warmer than the rest of you. Some may suffer dizziness while others are perfectly fine. You notice that the area you are in is filled with a soft cerulean light and feels slightly humid and dark despite the glow around you. Regardless of your current state, however, the stress of transit forces your body into unconsciousness.
Waking up is another story. Or maybe it isn’t.
You find yourself in a nondescript room; sometimes with others who have found themselves in the same situation, sometimes alone. Welcome to Avagi Station, your new home.
Avagi
A fixer upper opportunity:
Welcome to your new home! It’s a bit rough around the edges but it could be so much worse. Or that’s what you thought until you walked to your housing level and found the bathroom floating under three inches of water as a pipe gushes water. That’s definitely not what those pipes should be doing, you should probably try and get that fixed before your entire level is flooded. Who knows what sort of chaos all that water will play with Avagi’s support systems. Do you call for help or is someone going to find you trying to play amateur plumber with a roll of tape?
Are you afraid of the dark?:
There are different types of darkness that one has to deal with when they're living in space. There's the dim lighting of rarely used corridors, the shadows that lurk wherever they can find a place to hide. And you must never forget the swirling blackness of the storm that surrounds Avagi. Today you're dealing with a darkness you've been warned to expect. Some of your fellow residents are overhauling the electrical systems on board and told everyone that there was a chance there could be randomized blackouts.
The lights blink out without a sound, plunging you into darkness. Your eyes take a while to adjust and when they do everything seems a bit more… sinister. Sound travels differently in the dark, the quietest scratches and bumps echo louder in your ears and--
What was that ? Did that sound come from nearby? Did something just touch your leg? Maybe you should find someone before you get more paranoid. If it is paranoia, anyways.
Jeepers Creepers...:
The blackouts continue, spreading beyond isolated sections until they’re taking over entire blocks of the station and plunging everything into a more pervasive darkness. Wherever it spreads, a faint odor accompanies it along with a sudden burst of paranoia as everything seems more intense and slightly blurry at the same time. When the lights snap on the feeling of disorientation worsens and you struggle to focus when an intercom crackles to life blaring a warning you can barely understand. All you know is that something is wrong. And even worse, you know without a doubt that something, someone is coming to hurt you. As you see figures approaching, faces a blur of inhumanity marred by a mask to hide their identites you do the only thing you can in your panic.
You run.
Hopefully someone will be able to catch you and get you to clear air before you find a weapon and decide to stand your ground against them.
[ He shakes his head as an initial response. No, he hasn't heard the scratching— or, well. If he did, he only registered it as a trick of his ears, and not anything tangible in the walls. Paranoia is something new and novel to him, and it shows in the languid set of his shoulders, the unfettered confidence he seems to hold in the looseness of his posture.
His father is the god of the sun; Karna carries Surya's graces with him everywhere, so there's always bound to be a little light in him all the time. ]
The term they used was 'randomized'. It is likely that there are parts of the ship that still have power.
[ He's sure that that'll be better on everyone's nerves, to find somewhere that isn't quite so gloomy. ]
Yes. Most of the time. [Kaz says bluntly, and with no small amount of frustration. But that's because he's used to some element of control in what's going on, rather than idle participation. Being a manager, a commander, a teacher of some stripe. Now he's scrabbling to get notifications on power outages and having reliable updates on progress.]
You're sure you didn't hear anything? [Someone who doesn't key in on threats is a lucky soul. Who the hell knows what this place has managed to get infested with. He's already encountered metal-eating monsters that tried to snack on him.] I'm Miller, by the way. And we should find somewhere brighter. Just to be on the safe side.
[He bows in quick thanks for offer of light. It's not as if he can shake the man's hand in any sort of greeting, what with his fingers basically being on fire. It makes for an uncomfortable handshake. Luckily Kaz is a little more used to people with unusual abilities now, so that's the worst he thinks of it.]
