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!

[Silly him, thinking Harry was one of the ones in their line of business that he could actually trust. He won't make that mistake again.]
I don't care what happens to you. [The small part of him that can admit this is a lie hates that it is.] But everyone who got yanked through space and time to end up on this shithole is in it together, so I'd rather we be ready the next time a bunch of pissed-off aliens try to kill us.
[Yeah. That happened.]
no subject
Well then, sounds like we're both better off if I've a gun on me. You shoot the monsters at my back and I'll shoot yours and all that.
no subject
[Who knows if he will or not. Nate could take a guest, but clearly he never knew Harry as well as he thought he did.]
And Flynn? We're not the only ones here from back home. Elena's here too. You stay the hell away from her.
[Does he even know how close he'd come to killing her? All because she wanted to help, because she happened to be standing the closest.
There's Sully to worry about too, of course, but that feels different. Sully never nearly bled out from grenade shrapnel.]
no subject
[He didn't know, or care. Drake could never know the ignominy of failing at every turn only to be shot and then handed the instrument of your own demise as the only way to end your suffering. At the time he wouldn't have cared if his own mother was there, he'd have dropped the grenade anyway.]
no subject
Oh, I'd love to see you try. You wouldn't get far.
[He holds up his left hand and wiggles the ring finger.]
no subject
No way! Y— [he chortles again]
—What'd you do? Knock her up?
no subject
Unlike you, I actually know how to use a rubber. Went into this free and clear.
no subject
Whatever you say mate. Enjoy it while it lasts. At least you don't got much so when she gets fed up and takes half of what you own, you won't lose anything.
no subject
Forgive me if I don't care about your opinion of my marriage.
no subject
Anyway it bloody figures that after all that ruckus over Chloe you go and marry some other girl.
no subject
All that ruck—jesus, Flynn, is that what you think it was about? Fighting over Chloe?
no subject
[They go back years. Flynn's reasonably sure he knows Drake and his priorities by now.]
no subject
[They're treasure hunters. It's kind of their job. He's not going to deny it.]
But—not that it matters now—Chloe was the one who came to me, asshole. I didn't have to go after her. I came for her on the train because I was worried that psychopath would hurt her.
no subject
That's why I was covering for her, you bloody moron! Do you think I was camped in a jungle with that psycho for three months and not know that it's a good idea not to get on his bad side? And everything you did just made it worse!
no subject
That's why you should have never taken her with you in the first place. Neither of you should have been there, if you'd just walked away then you wouldn't have—
[Ugh. No. He's not doing this now, it's over and done with.]
Whatever. It doesn't matter now. We all made our own choices.
no subject
[He goes silent. Just as things start to get uncomfortable—or rather, more uncomfortable than they already are, he continues.]
So are we gonna get those guns or what?
no subject
[What's done is done. All they need to worry about now is surviving all this.]
Follow me. I can at least point you toward the right person.
no subject
[He falls into step behind Drake and follows. This isn't how he would've expected this conversation going, but waking up from the dead and convincing a man you tried to kill to get you a gun counts as a win in his book any day.]
no subject
[He'd rather Flynn not have access to anything that could be used to stab or otherwise injure him in the back. Or other parts. But since there's no way of locking him in a padded room full of soft toys, he'd rather know for sure that the guy is armed. At least then he can be a useful tool to defend the crew.]
no subject
[Drake shouldn't worry ... much. As much as Flynn is fueled by spite, he's not that kind of stupid. Drake's the closest thing he's got to an ally right now and he'll just make the best of that.]
no subject
[The prison thing he can get past. The grenade thing he's holding a grudge over forever.]
no subject
[He pauses. His lips curl into a wicked grin and he speaks again, his voice lilting in that way it always does when he's wheedling a deal out of someone.]
But I hear you. I'll keep my distance. Won't say a word as she's devoured by space monsters and whatnot.
no subject
If things get bad enough that she has to rely on you for help, we're all as good as dead anyway.
no subject
[He's not sure why he's arguing this point, as he has no particular interest in Elena. Maybe because it bothers Drake, and that's enough.]
Anyway don't talk like I'm not good in a fight.
no subject
Yeah, you're real hardcore. You can use a gun, that doesn't make you some kind of superhero badass.
