Survival is the exception
"living is an act of courage."

THROUGH THE INGRESS
The 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 rocky planet.

Former crew of the Moira are there to greet you, and it’s a grim message they have to share. The Moira has crashed and is beyond repair, but there’s good news... the destination the crew has been heading towards for over a year? You’re standing on it. But before you get into exploration and survival, it’s best to deal with the effects of coming through a broken Ingress.


☄ slip and trip
find your footing fast
Coming through the Ingress has left your character with one of three changes - an age slip, a form of body horror, or an extreme weakness. The first, the age slip, will mean that the character is either older or younger and this change can’t be rectified during their first month in game. The second, body horror, comes in the form of an alteration to the character's body due to whatever they were carrying at the time they came through. If they were wearing a watch, it’s now fused to their wrist, clothes are permanent, knifes replace fingers, and many other alterations (anything goes) and it lasts the first month as well. The third, extreme weakness, can be a mental or physical decrease - weaker arms, legs, or the weaker ability to talk or do math.

ooc: the choice of change is up to each player and this prompt can be game canon.

☄ introductions aren’t awkward
as long as you don’t shake their hand too long
A new planet. Physical and mental changes. Talk of a ship that crashed and a Hub that is home to the ‘creators’ of a technology you’ve never heard of. A lot is happening and the best way to sort through it is by getting to know the Moira’s crew. They’ll help you settle in and get you any care you might need, all the while informing you that the group is on its way to the center of the hub. Something that might seem mundane is an absolute necessity for survival. Ask a seasoned space traveling veteran for answers and guidance.

ooc: this prompt can be game canon.

☄ dealer's choice
just make the right one
Characters have the option of coming through an Ingress that is any possible location on this planet. It can be inside a cave, at the top of a rock formation, etc. This means you can have your character have to climb or slide down, have them yelling for help, and have other characters see them and come to their aid. Your character's arrival is completely up to you, and since this is a unique situation that hasn't happened before, go nuts with it!

ooc: this prompt can be game canon.

We already have a reputation? How long have you been here?

[Ear scratches from his human are all well and good, but there is a new person right there, and also a new dog! Champ shoulders up to stand fully next to Garrett and stretches toward Marian and Kitty, sniffing curiously. Hi hello, how are you? It's nice to meet you!!]
hawkethat: (not sure how i feel about this)

[personal profile] hawkethat 2016-12-05 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, she doesn't want to talk about it. Well, that's not a huge deal; seeing as she's an elf, he thinks he may have a few vague guesses as to why she'd rather not.]

I didn't stay, either. Too many Darkspawn ruining the view.

[Her remark about the Fade is far more interesting to him currently, anyway. He tilts his head, a little curiously, and responds - gently, because he can tell she's clearly not in a good mental place as it is anyway:]

...This isn't the Fade. It's real life.

Mam-jesties.

[Hawke snorts. That's pretty good. And good thing that he didn't point out how minuscule they are. So he's back on her good side. That he ever wasn't but that makes for a good show.]

I'd say buy an ale for each one but our bar's gone up in flames.

[personal profile] purramedic 2016-12-05 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
It is a bit gaudy. [Anders won't ask if he doesn't. He does find himself appreciating the guy's humor, though.]

Unfortunately. I was in the middle of something very important. [Yeah, he was about to get laid. Fuck whatever this place is, honestly. What's the Ingress' problem, anyway?] I don't suppose you have any idea where we are. Or why.
otiosity: (uhhh have you thought about the weather?)

[personal profile] otiosity 2016-12-05 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
No idea.

We just crashed here. I think it's near the midway hub but where that is, I'm not the one to ask.

[She figures it's best to say it before outright.]

I was on a ship that sailed in space before that crash. And was there for over six months.

Don't know. I don't really know you.

[ Yeaaaah, his voice is definitely sounding like something he's heard on the television. ]

[ How anyone could ever forget a voice or accent like that? Definitely not Elena Fisher.

Lucky for Chloe, she's close by when she hears her firing out the question and not exactly sounding pleased. Not that Elena can blame the poor gal.
]

Chaos. Ship crash landing. Amongst other things.

[ As much as she'd love to pull her in for a hug, so thrilled to see her, Elena hangs back instead, left arm in a sling and her right one bandaged at the bicep. She looks like she's in rough shape and yet there's a warm but tired smile beaming Chloe's way. ]

Are you all right? Nothing broken?
hawkethat: (it's funny you should ask...)

[personal profile] hawkethat 2016-12-05 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[That...gets Hawke to raise a very curious eyebrow.]

...I don't know anyone named Marian Hawke.

[And then he looks down to Champion, who looks back up at him and meets his eyes, ears pricked and butt gently wagging.]

Do you, boy? Have you been cheating on me, living a secret double-life of luxury, leisure, and extra doggie biscuits?

[Champ twists his head to one side, the perfect picture of canine confusion, and whines loudly. Hawke takes that as a very firm "no", and looks back up at Nate.]

He doesn't know who you're talking about, either.
hawkethat: (it's funny you should ask...)

[personal profile] hawkethat 2016-12-05 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
That depends on whether or not there are any interesting mushrooms or experimental herbs to provide a temporary replacement.

No, but I'm sure that's a story just waiting to be told.

[ And Elena's more than willing to sit down and listen. It'll give her a break from running around medbay to pick up any loose ends for latecomers. ]
sidequestings: (too many voices on our shoulders)

Very Orlesian, I know. [ orlais will get his salt for the rest of eternity. the game is the most genuinely useless invention he's ever experienced, made by a group of people who don't understand what real life is.

sry for ur life, anders, but the ingress is a cold dead machine that apparently doesn't care about your sex life. it's a tragedy. ]
Weren't we all. [ mahanon wasn't about to get laid, but it was still of some importance. saving the world, etc. ]

No. It's not Thedas and it's not the Fade, so that exhausts my knowledge of other worlds. [ a beat, flipping his braid absently back over his shoulder. ] There are no demons, dragons, or evil magisters that I can tell, though, so I suppose that's a plus.

Nathan Drake. Nate. And yeah, it's pretty common.

[He reaches down to shake the guy's hand, not thinking much of him other than damn, he's short, when the name catches his attention.]

Varric? Hawke's Varric, the one who wrote the book?

[How many Varrics can there be?]

Not at all, thanks a bunch.

[ It's been a struggle and a half trying to carry even light things, but she's making an attempt to get the strength back in her right arm and range of motion after having had it dislocated. She really appreciates that out of everyone who'd seen her struggling, this man comes along to lend a hand. ]

I appreciate this. Guess I overestimated myself.

... it's not that far.

[But there was a moment of uncertainty in her voice, and a look of doubt on her face. It's not that close, either.

Under different circumstances, she would dismiss it as nothing to worry about. For most people, the only excuse they have for not walking that far is being lazy. But for someone who might be injured...]


May I ask what's wrong? If it's really that urgent, I might be able to carry you instead.

[personal profile] escutcheon 2016-12-05 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
One of the many reasons, sure.

[ Also because between the two of them, they can annoy just about anyone within a mile radius.

Flattened into a -- WOW. Um excuse me clearly you're getting it all wrong, that Flavia fight went like this: giant dragon matriarch ruining everyone's tea party, Cousland heroically dives in to save at least a dozen orphans, catches a tail to the chest, gets punted through a very rickety building (which then collapsed), breaking many heroic bones.

Be sure to exaggerate the 'heroic' parts. Really sells it as a true story.

YOU WILL TELL NO-ONE OF THE STOMPING INCIDENT. ]


Point. Any ideas?

[personal profile] otiosity 2016-12-05 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
I have a reputation! There's a difference. You really ought to not go around trying to steal other people's reputations. I know how good we are at creating them.

[Kitty sits by Hawke still, watching the other dog with curiosity. His tail wags. He wants to go over and say hi! But for now he sits loyally by his master.]

[Kurt yelped in response to the voice, shaking hands twisting around his tail as he hesitantly turned to look at Badou. His brow furrowed, mouth barely hanging open and his knees almost knocking together.

The words from the redhead cause him to somewhat straighten though, cheeks puffing and his eyes narrowing with indignation.]


'm not always little, ja?

[Feisty, small blue mutant. What'cha got, Badou?]

Yeugh. [She makes a face that speaks immediately to her distaste.] Not on purpose.

[She's close to claiming that she knows better people, but she knows they've had that argument at least a dozen times now, and the dwarf can't be caught off guard by that like she wants. The needling doesn't even really work anymore. (Who'd have thought she'd ever grow up? Even if it was by baby steps over too many years.)

Instead she simply huffs, blowing hair out of her face--and that's why she'd cut it...nevermind, she can do that later--and places her hands on her hips.]


Which one's got you swearing on graves and the like?

There's...something there that Frisk can't quite understand. Or maybe it's that they don't want to understand. Their expression softens, and Frisk shakes their head.

"I don't know."

There's a lot they don't know, really.

"Chara, are--are you going to stay?" They tug hard on the edge of their sleeve, but their eyes don't leave Chara's face. "It's kind of a big camp, but...we don't have to stay right with them, if you don't want. I don't mind going in on my own t' get what we need."

[ Rafe Adler's face is a face that's graced many a newspaper. The name 'Adler' itself has made a few headlines in Elena's time at the start of her schooling and career in journalism. When she hears someone demanding an explanation, it's in passing. She hadn't recognized him, not at first, too lost in the thoughts of getting back to the three kids she and Nate had adopted. ]

Besides the crash landing? That's all I really got for you, sorry.

[ Like him, newbie or not, it seems like most of the longstanding crew of the Moira are also at a loss on what to do or go from here.

Elena turns then to really look at him, carefully adjusting her right arm sling.
]

Are you all right? I can direct you to the medical tent if you're in need of medical assistance.

[thankfully Badou hadn't been doing anything as rude and exciting as pissing off the edge of the cliff to see how far down it goes, but he had been resting. He has no idea how the man jumped up here but one minute there's no one there and the next, heres this guy--]

GODDAMMIT-- I did not ask for this Oz bullshit! Go shit in those curtains, dammit!

What, you morph in size or something, Smurfo?

[he cocks a brow at the little blue kid, but shrugs.]

If they didn't wanna babysit they shoulda left you where you belonged.

Yes he is, and...I believe he is alright. At least, he should be, there wasn't any casualties when the Moira crashed.

[Mettaton points idly the suit.]

I only asked, by the way, because the suit looks familiar. Sorry if that's a bit rude, maybe I should have asked your name first? Mine is Mettaton.

[He extends a hand, smiling. Because hey, any friend of Tony's has to be used to seeing robots, right? Or at least some form of machinery.]

Jesus Christ, no one even toldja where to get in line? One track mind idiots...c'mon, brat.

[it annoys him and that's the only reason he's interfering ok]

I'm tellin' you, these nerds would be happy to eat rocks if they could.
