"Don’t know when I’ll be back again."
ABOARD THE MOIRAThe Ingress has pulled you in. Your body experiences 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 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 from dizziness while others are perfectly fine. Once equilibrium has been reestablished, you will notice you are standing on a long platform and that the room is filled with a soft cerulean light. It's slightly humid and dark despite the glow around you, and nothing is familiar. Shortly after, you are led out and toward the medbay. Inside this room, you are given a physical scan and offered a contract to sign that states you are now part of the crew of the Moira with a specific job. Any questions you might have would be answered in a straightforward manner as well as an explanation about how the Ingress, the thing that has pulled you onto the Moira, is broken and bringing people here unintentionally. This process also consists of a complete work-up of medical history and current health, and afterwards, you are given your MID, a device that is integrated into your hand or wrist with only the slightest pinch. From there, you are guided out of the medbay and to your living quarters. Whether adjusting to space travel has been difficult or not, there is always something to be done. From working to leisure, the Moira offers a multitude of opportunities to get to know your crewmates a bit better. Exploration of the ship is highly encouraged. You may notice a slight change in the artificial gravity every once in awhile; however, more noticeable changes can be found in overall morale of those of the crew.
☄ on your ownThere are plenty of other communal areas on the ship to explore! Pick a place, and see where it takes you. ( These scenarios can be used as in-game canon. ) The day begins normally. Or almost.
The Moira has accidentally fallen along the trajectory of an asteroid barreling its way through space. While most things like this are not uncommon, and the ship is far from any potential danger of collision or risk of debris damaging the exterior, there is something particularly odd about this specific occurrence. The rock itself appears to give off a strange light that is both eerie and alive. Often, if looked at in just the right manner, it will shift colors; so, while one person sees one side of the spectrum, someone else could see something entirely different. At first, things continue on as they usually do aside from the glowing asteroid alongside the Moira, but as the hours go on, that does not seem to be the case.
☄ the hours are breathingresignedly beneath the sky the melancholy waters lieWith a rather open view of stars and space, thanks to the skylight above, the pool in the rec area suddenly comes alive beneath the light of the asteroid filtering in. Perhaps it’s some natural response to the chemical composition of the water, or perhaps it’s magic. Yet, regardless of the explanation, those who happen to take a dip suddenly find themselves plagued by despair. The depression and melancholy are not subtle changes either; it slams into you with great force, like a punch to the gut. The longer you remain in the pool, the deeper it grows, like an all-consuming paranoia that settles into the back of your mind and causes your heart to grow heavy. These strong feelings will eventually fade if you choose to leave the pool and dry off, but as long as you remain damp from the pool, those emotions will continue to linger. Even after you’re completely dry, there will be no mistaking just how intensely you felt or why. There is no explanation and might not be. Would you dare a second swim to test whether or not it was a fluke? ( These scenarios can be used as in-game canon. )
☄ those who have crossedthe eyes are not here, there are no eyes hereThe walls are shrinking in. Every room you step into feels much too small, like there isn’t enough room to even breathe. A crowded place becomes startlingly empty, and no matter how much you run, how much you explore, there is no one there to comfort you or answer your calls for help. Hallucinations run strong between the lulls of obscene loneliness or claustrophobia, and exposure to the glow of the asteroid is really the only thing to thank for that. You’re desperate to claw your way out of the ship—open the emergency hatch in the Cargo Bay, bust the glass of the Observation Deck. What’s worse is that it’s not just you. It’s catching, and the fear of being next is very real. It feels like you’re being watched, that everyone around you is looking and seeing everything you are. Or are not. The only way to make it stop is to admit that you’re afraid of being seen, but who, in the deep madness of the self, has the courage to ever admit the truth? ( These scenarios can be used as in-game canon. )
☄ the sun in flightrage, rage against the dying of the lightSomething has drifted its way onto the Moira from the outside. Unlike the faint luminosity they give off, they suck up all the light around them, making them the only source to see by. From far away, they are just flitting balls of light, but if you get close enough to inspect them, they are mean. And have sharp, sharp teeth. Go poking, and they will bite you before trying to fly away while taking that only light source with them. The option to avoid them is quite easy if you’re not the curious sort, but without them around, it will be impossibly dark. As the asteroid moves on in the opposite direction of the Moira, these light creatures begin to dissolve and fade away with it. However, a word of caution: their bites glow. If you don’t manage to find the one that bit you and capture it between your hands, the bite will become a permanent glowing fixture of your body. ( These scenarios can be used as in-game canon. )

He’s happy to say he’s younger and taller.
His eyes follow the space dog back to his owner, who looks to be around his 20s. Just a kid and his pets. Optic scanner picks up on the kitten in his pocket.] Tony Stark. [He answers with mild amusement.] Who’re you?
no subject
[What the fuck? Eggsy just shrugs his shoulders, stepping up with a hand out.]
Gary Unwin, call me Eggsy. This is Stark and this guy is Banner. [He gestures down and then at the kitten in his pocket.] So are you like some different version of him? Cause we've got two people called Bucky, and they're sorta like alternates.
[Only Eggsy hasn't spoken to the other Tony Stark whose here, not after the third time of him showing up and not remembering Eggsy. Kinda soured him a bit on the whole situation. At least this guy looked different enough the closer he got, maybe he would only have to introduce himself once.]
no subject
He’s a different version of me. [Important distinction. To him.] I’m from the primary Earth in the multiverse. [Don’t know which Earth his alternate is from, but can’t say he’s a fan or all that eager to meet him. Nothing against the other Tony personally, of course. He doesn’t know the guy. It’s just that normally run-ins with versions of himself never pan out well for anyone.]
Do you need any help? [Getting technical on the multiverse and how it works can wait.] I’m going to try and see if I can get a closer look at the asteroid outside. If you need a light source, [He taps at the repulsor battery in the center of his chest.] I can get you where you need to go first.
no subject
[Eggsy nods like he knows exactly what T's talking about, but in reality, he's got no fucking clue. Primary Earth's, multiverses, it's nothing he knows anything about, so he'll just push on passed that.]
I was gonna try and take this lil' guy to his pa, Bruce, then head to my room to check on my roommates. After that, I dunno.
[He raises a brow, stepping in closer to see the repulsor.]
How're you gonna get to the asteroid? Use one of them fancy suits? Too bad you can't take people with ya.
no subject
[Highly likely. The man’s here. He doesn’t know if he’s from his Earth or he’s an alternate, but Tony is going to opt out of coming face-to-face with him for now. Don’t want to risk setting that guy off. But if it is him, he’s also going to have to wrap his mind around the fact he has a kitten named after himself.]
Do you know where you need to go? I can get you to Bruce, but I won’t be sticking around for long.
[A smile teases at the edge of his lips at his questions. Cute kid.]
I’m going to exit the ship – in my fancy suit – and see what we’re dealing with here. [Then, do something incredibly stupid like, oh let’s say, changing its trajectory and getting it as far away from the Moira as possible.] Don’t think you’ll want to be out there with me for that.
no subject
[Eggsy says it with a touch of pride, but that's just how he gets about the people he cares for. He's of the opinion that he's lucky Bruce is his best mate.]
Sure, alright. Figure I'd try his room first, then the science department.
[He raises a brow, mouth curling into a smirk.]
If you could take me out there, like hell I'd be stayin' in here. Just don't think there'd be enough room in your suit for two. Be a bit of a tight squeeze, yeah?
no subject
[Sweeping his arm out, Tony motions for Eggsy to lead the way as he maintains a casual smile. He doesn’t want to show his lack of enthusiasm here, but at least he’s made it clear he’ll be gone as soon as the kid finds Banner.]
Where is his room located? [He knows he’s in Moro Deck. Found out where everyone relevant to his interest are living and working at from the start. Doesn’t mean other people need to know that though. Wouldn’t be very beneficial to him.]
Adventurous, aren’t you? But c’mon, let’s get you to where you need to go.
