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!

riptide parts his fingers slightly, peering in.]
Oi, I meant for you to calm down. Not, like. I don't know. Set me on fire! What are you doing in there?!
no subject
very dry innocence. ]
I'm trapped inside your hand, why would I set it on fire?
[ sorry, did you ask a question? ]
no subject
[did he? riptide doesn't seem to remember.]
no subject
The longer you hold me here, however...
[ he could lose it at any second!! ]
no subject
I'm ready. Bring it.
[haha silly human thinking he's a legit threat!!]
no subject
Seriously? Nothing, for 500,000 years?
That's a bit sad, isn't it...
too many commas but its 7am and i am not fixing it: the tag
[plus riptide was never high ranking, most of what he was tasked to do was maintenance.]
no one should ever be awake at that hour
[ the doctor is.
though he's totally over scarves, you know. hates 'em, embarrassing stuff. ]
except my dumb ass
[riptide has only seen them, never really worn them. he doesn't actually need them.]
no subject
Forget I said that, it was a mistake. I meant suggest a productive hobby, such as beekeeping, or whittling.
A scarf's pointless, all you've made after 5 million years of robo-knitting is an unconscionable waste of yarn. That's the second greatest waste of yarn in the universe!
[ he shakes his finger in firm disapproval, lest anyone start to think he's in favor of showy neck-wear. ]
no subject
[he shakes his head, but draws his hand back and crouches to be more face to face.]
Did you say barkeeping? Because I've always wanted to try that. Whittling is that thing you do with a chainsaw, right?
no subject
actually, barkeeping is fine. Do that. Go, shake up some gin and motor oil. Petrol on the rocks.
[ is that robotist? he doesn't care. he's making shooing motions with his hands, behind the giant metal hands encasing him. ]
There's no time like the present. Follow your dreams, robot, before they slip away.
no subject
[he chinhands.]
I've decided I'm going to stick around and make sure you don't get hurt though.
no subject
That's completely unnecessary, I don't need nannying.
Try to pay attention- I'm not one of the slow, delicate little humans you've got bumbling about here.
no subject
[riptide points at it, to emphasise.]
So that means you're old. Old humans tend to need assistance more. I've read like... an entire paragraph on it!
no subject
and then raises a finger back at the robot. ]
Old humans, yes.
But I'm a 2000 year old, super powerful, hyper-intelligent Time Lord, from space!
[ which, admittedly, sounds slightly less impressive next to a 500,000+ year old robot from space, but whatever!! gape in awe, or something. ]
no subject
[SURE GRANDAD. SURE YOU ARE.]
