Day One: Awakening

Who: EVERYONE!
What: Awaking up and Orientation to the Cooler
When: Day 1 (September 1st & 2nd)
Where: The Cryopod hall and Residential Area
Warnings: Mostly nudity and language, please label individual threads if need be

Arrival:

Your last memories are a haze as consciousness drifts back into your mind. You awaken on something hard, but lined, an uncomfortably upholstered bed of some kind, and a hiss of escaped air accompanies a door before you opening and raising slowly upward and out of the field of your slowly focusing vision. The entire surface on which you’re reclined rocks forward and places you on solid ground on shaky limbs and the chill of your surroundings sends gooseflesh swelling across every inch of your entirely bare form.

Naked, confused, and disoriented as you try to assess the situation (like the echoing click so loud in the otherwise silent chamber), a spotlight glares to life before you, washing out your vision momentarily. You’re vaguely aware of others, other cries or gasps of shock, other shafts of light directed at other strange bed chambers much like the one in which you so recently awoke.

Before you’re able to shrug off the initial disorientation, a disembodied female voice chimes through the darkness.Despite its slightly cheery tone, something may seem a bit...off about it, but that may just be nerves…

Residential Area:

When the blast doors open, you can see into an area that resembles…. A rundown college dormitory, complete with kitchen and living areas? Well, thankfully, it’s coed, or the boys would just have to sleep in their pods, right? There are many rooms in a corridor, with names flashing on the displays near the door. Maybe you should try and find your own? How far this corridor goes is hard to tell, as everyone’s rooms seem to be near the top of the hall.

However, should you decide to go further down, there’s no lighting and the temperature will drop steadily. Maybe LACUNA doesn’t want you to go down there.

In the kitchen areas, there appear to be other blast doors that might be able to open, but there’s no indication that they have in a very long time. Where they open out to is impossible to see, since windows seem to have been conveniently forgotten.

[OOC : For more information about what to do and see, click here. Please feel free to make your own top-levels or continue action threads from the test drive here. Or start new ones! Whatever your heart desires is pretty much up for grabs here. Just know that LACUNA is watching and listening to everything you do and say.]

[By the time he gets back Obi-Wan has cleaned away most of the blood but the flow hasn’t quite stopped yet. His face however is continuing to swell, thus the bag of ice is a relief. Taking it with gratitude he places it on the worst side with a small sigh of relief.]

Thank you.

[His words are genuine. Glad for some kindness in this place.]

Don't mention it.

[He moves to run some water over a rather questionable piece of fabric he found. It's not much, but it's something, and Obi-Wan was going to need all the cleaning he could get for those wounds. It wouldn't do to get gang green on an alien spaceship (or whatever it was).

Rinsing it out as best he could, he wrang it out and offered it to Obi-Wan.]


It's important to show kindness in the face of adversity."

[Questionable or not, he would accept it. Taking the cloth, he dabbed at his cut lip and his nose. Still holding that ice against his cheek.]

That it is.

And I hope all of us come to realize that eventually

[He hopes Anakin does sooner rather than later.]

In my experience that's rarely the case. But one does what one has to in desperate situations.

[Like dragging a college student, his budding romance and the Pentagon press secretary on an insane attempt to save humanity and the Earth from utter destruction.]

I assume whoever did this was at least acquainted with you.
hadthehighground: (Sad)

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2018-09-22 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[There was a moment’s pause, and a distinct sadness that came onto the Jedi’s battered face.]

Much more than that. We were friends, brothers even.

[The best way he could describe it without getting into their lengthy past. He then lowered the ice to see his reflection in the dirty mirror again. This was not something friends did to each other.]

A lot has changed.

Bridges can be mended, my friend.

[Reaching out, Darius offers a hand of support onto the other man's shoulder. While he couldn't say that things had ever been as bad as they were for Obi-Wan, things had been bad before.

It was safe to say that everyone had had relationships that were less than kind in the past.]


In the meantime, it might be a good plan to keep them away from sharp objects.

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2018-09-22 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[There was a heavy silence from Obi-Wan. Mended? Perhaps in most cases. But with Anakin he wasn’t so sure. The man he knew and loved, his best friend, seemed to be no more. In fact, he shouldn’t even be here. But he didn’t voice any of these thoughts. Still it wouldn’t be hard to guess that he wasn’t optimistic.]

Yes... though I can only wonder what those droids did with him.

[personal profile] movesahead 2018-09-22 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Darius can tell that Obi-Wan isn't thinking in an optimistic manner. Rather he's contemplating something. Not that Darius can tell what it is. He knows nothing of Obi-Wan or his life. In fact, based on the data he's collected, he probably doesn't even know anything about the other man's world.

But then he comments, and it seems as if he expects it to track. It doesn't.]


I'm afraid I don't follow.
hadthehighground: (you don't say)

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2018-09-22 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
The droids.

[Oh right, he didn’t see it. Obi-Wan is starting to wonder if he has a concussion too. It’s very likely.]

LACUNA informed us that fighting is deviant behavior. A few droids then came and took him away. Where to is anyone's guess.

[personal profile] movesahead 2018-09-22 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, that wasn't ominous at all. One person already being dragged away for deviance. Not that Darius didn't agree with her in this case. The man had attacked someone, after all.]

Perhaps asking her might be a good course of action.
hadthehighground: (you don't say)

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2018-09-23 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps, but she isn’t the most personable sort. Or the most willing to give out relevant information.

[He had already tried asking her a lot of questions. In fact it was noted on his record that he was too inquisitive. However he can’t say he was completely satisfied with the answers.]

It's probably in her programming. Keeping one's prisoners off base is one of the first rules of kidnapping.

[It was probably worrisome how much Darius know about such things, but it was important for a man like him to know these things. Also, it was more of a common knowledge thing in his world.]
hadthehighground: (contemplating)

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2018-09-26 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose that would make sense.

[It was rather effective too.]

Just the same, I would certainly like to know who is behind her. Who are captors actually are and why we are actually here.

Oh trust me, I'm more than curious about that one myself. If only to be impressed by their handiwork.

[Even as a rat in a cage, Darius could appreciate good tech, and LACUNA, those pods, they were good tech. The rest seemed more window dressing to see where the subjects would go with it.]

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2018-10-02 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I would rather be impressed from a distance, not as a subject for whatever experiment we apparently agreed to.

[Which he still doesn't buy in the least.]
movesahead: (DAAAARIUS-1gf)

[personal profile] movesahead 2018-10-03 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Agreed, but you have to find the good where you can.

[At least he did.]
hadthehighground: (pensive)

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2018-10-04 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
That may be.

[He gives a resigned sigh at that. He's had to find the good in a lot of terrible situations really, and this Jedi is weary. He just put the ice on his face again.]

Well, thank you again for your help. I think this is as much as can be done for now.

[He knows the sigh, bit really only from others. Darius tried to keep an open mind and hope at all times if he could.]

If you need anything else mine is the door with the bit of metal wedging it open. I'd be happy to help.
hadthehighground: (of course)

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2018-10-05 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Leaving his door wedged open? That's interesting. Obi-Wan certainly didn't plan to do that, because who knows if Anakin would try to kill him in his sleep or something. But Obi-Wan just nodded, attempting to smile despite his face, and again regretting it.]

I appreciate the offer, thank you.

[Darius is an interesting person who can't break into a supercomputer to change the biometric locks to suit his needs. Thus, a brick.]

I hate to say it, but try not to emote until that's healed. It'll crack any scabbing that occurs.

I suppose I'll see you around then.

[There weren't that many of them, after all.]
hadthehighground: (hand on face)

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2018-10-06 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[It was a good suggestion and Obi-Wan just winced slightly and nodded. Letting the other man go without another word. The next time Darius would see him, his face would be completely healed thankfully.]
