WEEK 2: MINGLE
WEEK 2 42 CREW ACTIVE
And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.
WELCOME TO ANORIA
With the heavy mood of the previous week still hanging over the CSS Eudora, the loss of Viktor and Eun-hyuk weighing heavy on many, it might be difficult to move on with business as usual, and that's okay. Loss is a completely natural part of life, and grief is always close behind. However, a few hours into a routine morning aboard the Eudora, a gentle tone fills the air, reverberating off of the walls of the Eudora herself. A synthetic voice fills the halls not long after: Entering planet atmosphere, gravity tethers engaging. Stabilizing descension rate. Stabilizing... stabilization complete.
Your second dropoff is looking a little chilly. On the horizon, Planet Anoria rises. The observation deck allows everyone to watch the curve of the planet coming into view. The planet is covered in billowing clouds that the Eudora passes through easily. The topography is pure tundra, studded with trees here and there, a yawning, dark stroke of dense forest on the horizon. As the Eudora touches down, enormous clouds of fluffy, white snow scatter upwards, and the gray sky overhead ripples with soft blues and greens, the atmosphere pulsing. Alive.
A message from the address seniorcrew@eudora.net pings you in the middle of whatever it is you happen to be doing at 1200 hours. If you're still somehow sleeping, that ping is definitely loud enough to cut through your sweetest dreams and to rouse you from sleep. There is no way to reply to it, so suffer as it opens itself up and reads:

ATTENTION JUNIOR CREW!
Reports of strange manifestations and shifting of exterior limbs, skin, and hair have surfaced as early as 0300 hours. After running a gauntlet of tests, we've arrived at the conclusion that these physical changes are relatively harmless in a physical capacity. Please try not to get too worked up over these spontaneous transformations as they may exacerbate your symptoms. - Senior Crew
Following the ping is a notification coming from your I.R.I.S. indicating that there are a few new locations that have unlocked aboard the CSS Eudora and the enrichment concourse. If you have any questions or concerns, you'll find that your Senior Crew is available to take your meeting requests. Their callsigns are lit up at the bottom of your contacts list so text away.
New week, new planet. Characters will find a few supplies already in their locker to help in navigating the planet:
🌲 Cozy thermal socks, thick scarf, and furry hat with earflaps
🌲 Solar-charged thermal packs for pockets, gloves, and boots
🌲 Snow boots with anti-friction crampon attachments that allow you to cross slippery terrain
🌲 A pair of sleek glasses that integrate with the I.R.I.S. to create a HUD should a storm create white-out conditions
... oh! It seems like the Eudora is receiving an incoming message - this one broadcasted not only on everyone's I.R.I.S., but also on every screen on the ship itself to ensure that it's been received.

INCOMING MESSAGE FROM: NUT & BOLT CO.
Good morning, crew and passengers of the CSS Eudora.
This is representative Jeff writing to you to offer our sincerest apologies, as well as our condolences, regarding the situation that has been ongoing for the past two weeks. We are currently looking into what's caused our passengers, heretofore referred to as "Junior Crew," to find themselves aboard the Eudora, and hope that you will bear with us in this timeframe as we put our finest minds into this grievous problem.
Our main objective is to deliver everyone to the office to negotiate terms and reparations, then homeward. There are two parts to the plan we have created:
1. We set the Eudora's destination to the closest Nut & Bolt hub within the current galaxy. Upon coordinate details, we have estimated it will take approximately six (6) weeks to reach the hub.
2. We reach out to contracted planets on route in hopes of finding one that is in possession of teleportation technology. If one is found, everyone will be teleported to the closest Nut & Bolt hub where inter-universe teleportation technology is available.
We are unable to offer you extended lodging on any of these planets at this time due to intergalactic travel laws, but will keep you informed as to our progress in our investigations and efforts alike.
Any work done for Nut & Bolt, contract active or null, will still be compensated. The deceased will be restored to their original state using the cryopod's regenerative capabilities to be presentable when they're delivered home. Last wishes and wills should be left with senior crew to deliver and witness to completion. Further reimbursement will be discussed and negotiated with the deceased's next of kin.
We apologize that we don't currently have a more expedient or satisfactory answer to address the subsequent deaths that have occurred aboard the CSS Eudora. In the meantime, we will be looking into reimbursements and reparations for what the crew and passengers have experienced thus far during the spring tour. This is far from the norm, and we take the safety of those in our care very seriously.
Thank you for your time, and safe travels.

Hello, Junior Crew, and welcome to your week 2 mingle! Here are a few things to get you started:
⚠️ Upon waking this week, the crew of the Eudora will notice that the effects of the previous week have been replaced with new ones. This week, the crew may notice that their physical forms manipulate and transform at random. Someone who is rather happy may suddenly start to glow warmly like the sun, while someone who is angry might start to grow thorns along their skin or blow steam out their ears. The sky's the limit, and with some luck and some time spent practicing, transforming at will is quite possible, with shifting ranging from animal features to stone, to perhaps something all-too-familiar relating to home.
Please note that these transformations cannot hurt others nor can they hurt you. You may, however, give away parts of your transformation (flowers, feathers, etc, go wild, and yes furry transformations fall underneath this too, rawr etc etc.)
🪐 Pick up some supplies. Head on over to Scrap's Surplus Store or visit Omega Mart for a fun little freebie.
🪐 Audiences are open. Please submit all audience requests for the week under the proper header here.
🪐 The HER-MES System is online. Send a message out into deep space here.
🪐 Murder proposals are open. Please submit all proposals (and counter proposals) here by Tuesday, per the times on the post.
🪐 Don't forget your CYOAs. Please head over to Missions to sign up for a variety of CYOAs or to run one of your own.
🪐 Please turn in your PCs for the week. Submit your links under the proper header here.

PLANET OF TREES AND TEETH

A warrior.

anyway the warrior. temenos looks at blade, and then at the doll, and then at the crowd. ]
...yes, the warrior. A fearsome warrior, blessed by Brand himself. But the warrior had a problem, and the beastling girl had a keen eye. She said, "Mr. Warrior, I think... you're hungry."

As for the man in question, he looks at the doll, which has him with a little smile (he can just imagine his associates' reaction at that), and finally then at the crowd.
He decides to cast his gaze back at Temenos. ]
...Hungry?
