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!

Here he was, thrilled to see one of his team alive and well. But it sounds more and more like the guy is just spouting off complete gibberish. Something cold snakes through his chest.
"I don't... have any idea what you're talking about."
no subject
He hesitated. He couldn't help but try again. "The Blades of Marmora don't ring a bell at all?"
no subject
Since there's actually a familiar kind of time keeping now. And according to his TAB unit, it's been that long.
He just helplessly spreads his hands, like that's going to help. "The last thing I remember is Allura and I on the Galra ship. When we hit the Hub for information."
no subject
Hunk was shellshocked. That was awhile ago. Like, awhile ago. "A lot has happened since then, Shiro. A lot. About Keith, about you, Pidge, Allura, Zarkon, this whole war." He brought a hand to his head.
"I think I need to sit down."
no subject
He says it as gently as he possibly can. He can tell this is hard for him, to say the least. Granted, it's hard on both of them. But Hunk is the one who's more obviously suffering here.
"That doesn't surprise me. Pidge and Allura told me I missed a lot when we all got here, too." A beat. "Come on. Sit down. I'll get you something."
no subject
His eyes widened slightly, still talking even as he moved to sit where Shiro indicated. "Wait. Is it-- something like the vortex, could that mess with time too? Or the space taco thing, could folding space/time alter the way time passes? Like.. if you were transported out and put in a pocket of time would we be living on different timelines?"
He clutched his head. "This sucks."
no subject
Still trying to keep his tone level, calm. Like that's going to somehow reassure Hunk alone. He sits down next to him, fishing around in a pocket for the jerky he'd been bringing the cat. Offering it out.
It's not much, but it's all he's got.
"It's called the Ingress -- Pidge knows more about it, she's been studying it nonstop since we got here," he explains. "It's a little like a wormhole, from what I'm understanding. And yeah... that means it's possible for your... time pocket thing to be real."
no subject
He bit into it, even as his eyes watered. "It's real then, huh? I'm really from the future and you all are really from my past."
Hunk swallowed hard, his voice lowering a bit. "So you may not be okay after all."
no subject
Then he spreads out his hands, as if indicating himself. "Hey, look. I'm right here."
Maybe that'll help something. "I'm fine."
no subject
He sighed, tilting his head back a bit. "Why are our lives so weird now? I mean, seriously. We had a food fight with malfunctioning space goo. Remember that?" Hunk's lips quirked up for a second at the memory -- one that was hopefully far back enough that Shiro actually remembered it. "That's probably not a normal thing for most Garrison teams to bond over."
no subject
Because last he checked, he didn't have one of those. It was lost, wasn't it? Allura said it was. He knew he should be more worried about the fact Hunk was telling him he'd just vanished, but one thing at a time.
He nodded, a little stunned.
"I'm afraid it doesn't get much better here. We're stuck on this world, for now." He tried for a smile, but it was faltering. "Yeah, you guys were covered. I remember."
no subject
Hunk nodded. "Yeah, it didn't exactly sound like a tourist kind of situation. But hey, we're here together at least. And look!" He pointed at the remaining bite of beef jerkey. "Food! There's actual real food here, and you know I can cook. Nothing can suck too bad when you know you've got some decent meals in your future." His eyes were brightening a bit now at the thought. Oh man, he couldn't wait to get his hands on their pantry and see what his options were.
"Way better than goo and coffee," He gave a definitive nod.
no subject
Shiro do you really want those questions answered? He asked them before he really thought about it. The words slipped out in total surprise.
But then he's got to try and explain the jerky is one of the only foods they've got. That and the thistle. And the weird purple water. He wanted to believe what he's saying, and take comfort in it. "I'll look forward to it then, man," he said. That not-quite-a-smile on the edge of his mouth.
"Nothing wrong with coffee." And then he added: "One of the medics here keeps real cream for it, can you believe it?"
