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!

It's Pepper. Hello, Lúcio. And-- thanks.
[ She musters a small smile despite her anxiety, not wanting to come across as ungrateful. ]
There's a camp? Do you know where exactly we are?
no subject
[he scoots a little closer, holding out a hand for her to grab, if she needs the support.]
Unless you meant exactly on the planet, then yeah. About 10 minute's walk away from the main camp right now. There's a bunch of other humans and some aliens there, so brace yourself. I mean, unless you already know about aliens, then don't brace yourself. Just act as normal. How's your head?
no subject
[ Ten minutes is not bad. The thought of aliens would have thrown her considerably more a year or so ago, but not anymore. Thankfully (she imagines) these ones are more amiable sort than the Chitauri. ]
It's... hanging in there. [ Her head, that is. She glances back over to the Ingress on top of the hill. ] What is that thing? Do you know?
no subject
[he doesn't sound put out at all, though. he just mentally notes to keep an eye on pepper and make sure she settles in okay.]
Magic spooky space portal that likes to inconvenience us. You think I'm joking, but I'm really not. Anyway, I have some sonic tech that could help you feel better if you don't mind me using it. It'll clear that head wound right up.
no subject
[ She smirks weakly at the lame pun, hardly expecting an answer. She brushes some hair aside gingerly, the strands sticking slightly to the blood on her temple. ]
Sonic tech... [ She mulls it over for a moment. ] Well, why not? As long as that's all it does.
no subject
[his tone is a little more firm; the sonic amplifier was originally a tool to harm people, but lúcio turned it around.
he turns on the healing beats, but keeps the volume low. he figures a head wound might come with a headache, so pepper will only hear a very faint wub track.]
That helping?
no subject
[ The pain lessens to a degree where she can ignore it, her curiosity piqued now instead. ]
What did you call this device again-- did you build it yourself?
no subject
[a pause.]
And don't worry, I took out all the control aspects. I know you have no reason to believe me because we've just met, but... [shrug.]
