WEEK 7: AFTERMATH

[dropoffs]

WEEK 7 AFTERMATH    47 (48?) CREW ACTIVE

[ the final leg of the battle is ferocious, with the host furiously sending literal worlds at you. while the cannons do their best to fight back, the eudora takes a hard hit multiple times, sending it careening backwards with the force, and you all with her inside of your individual cannon chambers. she's scorched on all sides, a part of the hull goes flying clean off, but she's still airborne and carrying you all aloft, swerving out of the way of worlds that shudder past.

however, thanks to the rallying call of the cavalry, you stand together for one final blast as the exhausted creature, full of rage and hate is suddenly pummeled on all sides by those who came to your rescue from your distress signal (strange and wizardly as it was.)

pink haze practically oozes off the host, almost like it's bleeding the stuff. more shots from the leftmost cannons hit it than the right, but it's suffered substantial damage, crippled as it is. but it keeps trying. it keeps opening up rifts, CEM waves pulsing off of it and buffering up against the ship to shake you around one last time. there isn't anything further that it can do, though -

one last shot from the righthand side of the ship strikes the tesseract, as the rift containing a pulsing, mutated heart blinks open.

and then it's just an explosion that causes the eudora's systems to red out, alarms blaring and every ship nearby sent back, back, screens shorting out and the view out of the windows painted like a supernova in white, purple, pink.

outside of the windows that have visibility despite the explosion, you can see that the twins (who are now transformed into two little pomeranians) are caught in the explosion, also sent back along with the ship, but they both curl around each other as if to protect one another despite fighting earlier. a small, agile shuttle (familiar to many as the shuttles that have come back from missions) darts in and one moment they are tumbling, but the next are scooped by the shuttle and brought to the waiting embrace of the eudora.

it takes a moment for systems to come back online and it really struggles, but the ship is functional. all of the items that aren't magnetized have created a mess and there's a large (planet-sized) dent pushing into the hull from the right side (though the hull is barely intact), but! the ship! is functional!

the eudora continues to fly and as you look where lotophagos once was, you see the haze wane and the colorless, lifeless planet turn into ash scattering into the stars. ]

-CHOO!

[Bradley, with a bottle of pepper in hand, suddenly appears. He looks around, finds that he's finally somewhere open and safe, and he just. Sighs.]

Fucking hell...I'm never going on a spaceship again! Do you have any idea how many nooks and crannies are on this place?! I spent an hour stuck in between a panel and some wires because I couldn't reach the pepper!

[rosebleed]

[hands him a boba in these trying times]

500 FAST 500 FURIOUS

[bossbabygirl]

[i didn't want to do this if anyone was doing a real movie night but anyway. we're putting on 500 Fast 500 Furious, which is a wonderful entry in the Fast Five franchise set in the far flung future. the movie contains no dialogue other than the word "family." the events of the movie are nothing but people looking each other in the eye, saying "family" and then doing something crazy. maybe on a spaceship? possibly.

anyway, it's easy to follow. come snuggle in the movie room and watch this wonderful film and pass out asleep.]

[polliwog]

[ immediately snuggling ]

I wonder what the other 499 were about.

[rav3n]

[Snuggling!! He looks so confused.]

Is the audio track broken?

[verminous]

Huh. Interesting dialogue choices.

[he's here he's getting COMFY.]

[pyromance]

500 now...?

[ snuggling! ]

[sexyasmieu]

[ stealing snacks from whoever's sitting next to her. ]

Is this some kind of artistic choice...?

[ the dialogue. ]

[inquired]

[ temenos falls asleep approximately 30 minutes into the movie with his head back and his mouth open like a dad

dressed cute though ]

[barriermaddened]

...I feel what we did with the cannons and shooting around could belong to a movie from this franchise.

[Because it was very action-y. Sora is watching with attention, without looking away from the screen not even for a moment]

[teenrebellion]

[ mumbling sleepily, ]

We could write a better movie than this.

[rosebleed]

[Fascinated but also]

I guess you don't need a plot to make a movie?

[frotag]

[ ichiban is watching the movie and taking it 100% seriously. he may be crying a little. ]

Family, bro... real.

[riverbeans]

Oh, this one again!

[he's happy to watch it a second time despite the plot or lack thereof]
