Survival is the exception
"living is an act of courage."
THROUGH THE INGRESSThe 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 tripfind your footing fastComing 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 awkwardas long as you don’t shake their hand too longA 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.

☄ dealer's choicejust make the right oneCharacters 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!

noted. your waifu is still shit tho.
[ Oh, the deadpan sarcasm. ]
It was a theoretical suggestion. You know, for the sake of... science. Very easy, very profitable science.
EX-waifu, thank u
[HE'S ON TO YOU, COUSLAND.
But, for the sake of friendship, he'll let it go for now. There are lots of other things that need to be worried about currently, after all.]
I suppose we can keep it in mind as a back-up if things take a turn for the really crappy.
JUDGES.
In all fairness, it's the rich that have the really good stuff. Makes sense to leave the poor folk alone and just pick on the ones with an expensive wine cellar. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ]
You and your optimism. It's adorable.
[ Yes, she is in fact going to pat his face all patronizing-like. This is what you get for being friends. ]
judge away, friend
[He's seen her at her worst - flattened into a Warden pancake by an errant dragon foot - and nursed her back to health afterward. She can pat his cheek and patronize him if she really wants to. He just winks roguishly at the attention.]
Optimism aside, though, we probably should work out what to do next. Even I'll grudgingly admit I honestly don't expect a magical tavern to appear way out here.

[ 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?
no subject
[Gasp! Delight! Cousland, you old softie, he never knew!]
Mmm...It'd probably be best to start by locating someone who knows more about what's going on than we do.
no subject
[ HA HA HA that sure did almost go into uncomfortably sappy territory there. Crisis averted. ]
Send the hound out, then? Might catch a whiff of someone downwind faster than we'll be able to see them.
no subject
[Sigh. Sigh!!! He is the most put upon.]
Hey, Champ, want to see if you can find some more people for us to chat with?
[That next remark is addressed to the mabari, naturally. Champion barks happily and wags his tail stub briefly to indicate willingness, before taking off in a loping run as requested. He'll see what he can do!]
no subject
[ Haughty sniff.
Cousland can't help but smile a little as she watches the mabari dwindle away into a dog-shaped speck on the horizon. ]
He's pretty cute. Is he the cuddly sort or more standoffish?
