WEEK 6: MINGLE
WEEK 6 30 CREW ACTIVE
I am the shore and the ocean, awaiting myself on both sides.
WELCOME TO ACQUADA
With the heavy mood of the previous week still hanging over the CSS Eudora, 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. Focus and peace might be hard to find. Especially when some of you might feel a familiar buzz or hum under your skin, in your hearts, at your fingertips. There, but out of reach. You'll start feeling more like yourselves. 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 sixth dropoff is looking a little wet—hope you packed your water wingies. On the horizon, Planet Acquada rises. The observation deck allows everyone to watch as the Eudora cuts through the thin clouds and reveals a planet rippling with choppy ocean waves. In the center, a sprawling metal island with a heavily-forested pinnacle greets the Eudora, as lights flash from below, heralding the ship's landing.
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!
Good morning, Junior Crew. If you think I have an answer for this particular affliction, I don't. Just try not to make a mess around the ship and PLEASE pick up after yourselves. If you need bags to contain all of your "excitement" they're in a box just outside the medbay. - 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.
With a new week, comes a new change of scenery. Characters will find a few supplies already in their locker to help in navigating the planet itself:
⚙️ Standard-issue delivery uniform (version: cool/cold)
⚙️ Breather suits and masks that integrate with your I.R.I.S. while you are swimming
⚙️ Warm clothing (two changes including two very warm sweaters)
⚙️ One hooded and waterproofed jacket and water-proof boots fitted up to the knee
⚙️ Flashlight that clips to your shoulder or belt

Hello, Junior Crew, and welcome to your week 6 mingle! Here are a few things to get you started:
⚠️ Upon waking this week, the crew of the Eudora may find themselves feeling a constantly uncomfortable choked up sensation in their chests. Drinking doesn't help, and clearing your throat hardly works either. Before you know it, you might just find yourself coughing up a handful of flowers. The type of flowers may vary but they also might come in different colors as well, all representing your hidden feelings. Welcome to everyone's favorite disease of repressed emotions—it's hanahaki week.
🪐 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 closed. Stay tuned for further instructions.
🪐 Don't forget your CYOAs. Please head over to Missions to sign up for Ship Exploration or a planet-based Mini-CYOA.
🪐 Please turn in your PCs for the week. Submit your links under the proper header here.

PLANET OF SERENITY AND SILENCE
a
... This turned into more of an assault course than I was expecting.
no subject
But, anyway, looking at that mess is...wonderful, isn't it? ]
A bit of a challenge.
...Though even that can be overcome.
[ People are going to be sopping wet after this... ]
no subject
no subject
[ Not that he knows how many people here can't swim... ]
no subject
a few. ]
I don't have an issue with swimming for it. Pain to go and get changed afterwards, but-- [ it is what it is. ]
no subject
There's a pause at those words, and he nods himself. ]
It would not be ideal, but I could manage.
no subject
We might be able to get around it without going in the water for a bit. But we’d have to hurry.
no subject
We do.
[ Blade casually wades through some water, and slaps some of that compound against the nearest leak/breach. ]
So, let's get it over with.
no subject
Do not involve him.
[ "... Please help me."
They both have water blocking coral growth things in their hands. ]
no subject
two of them. ]
... Having fun?
no subject
[ They need to keep sealing the gaps! But Yuri feels slightly agitated. ]
Shu, could you please step aside?
[ The other Yuri shakes her head. Do not. ]
no subject
[ well.
now i becks personally am nervous because i am stupid. ]
How did you end up with two of you anyway?
no subject
[ The other Yuri holds onto Shu's arm, hugging it tightly. Don't leave her??
"... I'm not the fake. I touched a coral and suddenly, there's another me." ]
no subject
Careful, the water's still rising. If you're planning on fighting yourself for dominance, don't fall in.
[ said to the yuri not hiding behind him. have fun, go nuts. ]
no subject
The real Yuri has a bag, but the fake one doesn't. She swings it very hard just to narrowly miss Shu in the process and to clock the fake one in the face. Yuri on
iceYuri violence. The fight goes on for a while and the other eventually has its head smashed. (yay)Then Yuri goes to stuff the body into the hole for real and starts applying the growth solution around it to make it stay and to... not see her replicated dead body. She's seen that enough.
Anyway, she returns to Shu. ]
... I think that covers the hole well. What do you think?
no subject
he shifts his head just enough to clear yuri's trajectory to bludgeoning her doppelganger in the head. he's not exactly interested in watching any yuri getting her head caved in, but pop off girl. he knows well enough she can handle herself better than a lot of other people.
hm. ]
... [ well. now it's very corally and clear that this other yuri is ... just cold coral stuck in place, he'll take a look. a close look and make sure there's no gaps for water to come through. ]
Yeah, I think you've got it covered. Should grow well there too. [ thrive, ex-coral yuri. ] Although-- you've still got some coral on your hands.
no subject
[ Yuri tries to scrape the excess coral off her hands. Her kill count has now risen. Yippee. ]
There... I'm glad I didn't hit you in the process.
[ bodysack, yuri ver. ]
no subject
Here-- [ hang on. a bitch has gloves, he'll help. time to get rid of the coral. ]
Good thing my reflexes are good. [ but -- ] Your arm was fine, and it didn't move fast enough to be an issue.
no subject
I should get better...
[ ... ]
—not to hit you, I mean... just being faster and better in general...
no subject
I think you’re faster and better with fighting than a lot of people here.
[ she is a projmoon girl. she knows how to keep on keeping on. ]
no subject
Really? Everyone is so strong...
[ She still thinks she's just Some Person. ]
no subject
You kicked my ass with a foam sword last week.
[
no subject
But I didn't even win...?
no subject
[ technically. she did not. ]
no subject
[ She wasn't fighting to win, so that's fine.
Yuri looks around. Is there another leak?? She is so ready with her coral growth thing. ]
