YOUR STORY BEGINS  The Storm came. You only remember darkness, but you don't remember much after that. All you know, perhaps, is that it was cold as you slept. You don't know for how long you slept, but the dreams were short, at least. You remember the expanse of stars and the universe that came in view. Every world and solar system ever known was displayed in your dreams in careful, pristine detail. You have also witnessed The Storm, which has devoured a fair portion of these galaxies. It was a dark, thick smog; ominous in appearance and ever foreboding. Your Earth and similar planets were immersed in The Storm. Somehow, you knew it would be the last you'd see of it. That was when she told you what happened, and how you can help. You knew that you'll be living somewhere new, even though you never asked for it. The details here weren't clear, but you knew you'd made a deal with Darma. Not long after, you'll wake at Thesa Station — Your body is still cold. It was all a dream, but somehow, you knew it wasn't — now, will you keep that promise you made to Darma? PROMPT: THE MESS HALL  It's fascinating to the Orbiters how such a dull room can be turned around so completely with people in it. All meals are served by Roman, and while all the food is delicious, some of it is a bit odd. Is that neon green soup? That’s hideous. If you happen to be in the mess hall at a particularly unlucky time, you and the food will suddenly begin to drift. Someone’s got jokes, and they’ve turned off the gravity control. Now it’s just you, your fellow refugees, and the floating sea of food. Wait, did that person just chuck a pie in your direction? PROMPT: TRAINING MODULES  While it’s all nice and well to familiarize oneself with Thesa Station, it is most advised that new arrivals venture out a bit. Not physically. No one is quite prepared for that yet. However, there will be several virtual reality training programs set for those who dare to be adventurous. For those who aren’t and don’t dare, well— good luck, all the same. Be advised, however, that participating in one of the training modules will start you off favorably with the Natha Orbiters’ in terms of REPUTATION. Once seated and appropriately strapped in, the system will automatically whir to life and the dense foliage and forestry of a section of El Nysa will open up. According to one’s map registry, it clear to see that it’s miles from the outer gates of Olympia, but not as far enough to venture into any other territories. So, in that sense, you’re safe.
PROMPT: STASIS UNIT  You have found the massive section of Thesa known as the Stasis Unit. There’s no special access required to access this part of Thesa Station, but refugees are warned that it may not be for the faint of heart. Here, in large pods that nearly cover every square inch of the space, are all of the people the Orbiters have managed to rescue. Your loved ones, your greatest enemy, your next door neighbor— you might find them here. These people are in a state of deep cryosleep. Due to the damaging effects of The Storm, their bodies are not yet ready to be awoken. PROMPT: HANGAR STATION  You find your way to the hangar station. Here rests are a factory worth of docked mobile suits. You recall how the Orbiters had previously spoken of a "space frontier," but only after seeing this you realize how real their words are. Most machinery have marks of wear and tear, assurance that they have indeed been used before, and an assembly of others are going through repairs and maintenance. No one seems to care that you've just strolled in. In fact, there seems to be a couple of the aircraft that beckon you to take a closer look. Maybe you’ll only look on the outside, maybe you'll be greeted by the hand of a mobile suit extending toward you and welcoming you to its cockpit. You go out and explore SPACE!!! Unfortunately, that mobile suit should have warned you it only had 20 minutes of flight time left in its system. Or, perhaps, you’re a particularly ambitious pilot and you’ve strayed past the designated perimeter. Either way, the HUD display is now blinking with errors, cropping up with a single message: DISTRESS SIGNAL. PROMPT: OMAGE
Upon receiving your mobile phone, you will be asked to set a username. Voila, you can now access the network! You can choose to send a message to the entire network, specific usernames, or you can try out the Orbiters’ service, Omage, which connects you to a random user. They thought this might be a good way for their new guests to make friends with each other...
Connecting to server... PROMPT: WILDCARD

[So, at this point, whoever is holding Magnus is just going to backhand him across the face in hopes he'll shut up, and then throw him into the cell.]
Geez. Guess they don't have any cool trips planned.
no subject
Rhys, luckily, doesn't get nearly the amount of face-smacking simply because he's shut up long enough by watching Magnus's that they just throw him face-first onto the floor beside the other man. ]
Oof! [ he grunts with the impact
definitely not winded a little, but picks himself up after a second or two with a miserable sound. ]So that could have gone better.
no subject
[He doesn't look too worse for the wear, at least. His lip is split just a little, but it might have already been like that? Hard to tell.]
So I guess, what, we get tortured now? That blow. Hey, I'm Magnus.
no subject
Because his world is still totally destroyed. ]
Let's try not being tortured if we can avoid that. We need a way out of here.
no subject
ok i just need to say that your magnus is glorious and i love him
[ Rhys stutters mid-sentence at that, looking over at Magnus quickly with an incredulous expression. He's not discounting the idea: he's seen a man run right through double-panel glass, and Vallory had lifted a rocket launched five time her weight like it was nothing. ]
thank you so much!!!
[Really giving those joints a look over. He now wants to do it right now, if only to prove that he can! But that probably wouldn't go over great with the guards?]
no subject
How strong are you?
no subject
[Flexing his arm muscle just for show.]
no subject
I...can definitely see that, wow. You're pretty ripped huh? You work out a lot eh? Hit the gym?
no subject
Oh yeah, all the time. Now, a lot of guys, they'll just do the arms, but you really need to get your core if you want to have real power.
no subject
Rhys literally stares, wondering why this man is suddenly half-stripping. Maybe he's planning to fight shirtless? People do that. It's a little weird but people do it.
Kind of like how Vaughn had taken off his shirt in the desert and used it as a hat and revealed how secretly buff he was. And speaking of terrible puns: ]
Wo-ho-ho-hoa, you have a permit for those firearms bro?
no subject
You can't permit these bad boys, they're too deadly. Johnny Law is always trying to shut me down but he hasn't caught up to me yet.
no subject
Yeesh dude. Just...wow, I'm. Like that's some serious heat you're packing there. Like too hot to handle.
no subject
Thanks, man! So, anyway, I think instead of waiting, I'm just going to kill these guys. You cool with that?
no subject
Oh, uhh. I mean I...guess, yeah. Sure.
[ That came out of nowhere, wow. Rhys isn't against it of course, these guys are total assholes and probably deserve it? Magnus just busts it out of left field for him is all. ]
You need any help with that, or...
no subject
[He sounds like he'll be okay if Rhys doesn't want to jump in, but is encouraging him like he's being shy at a party.
And with that, with a running start he slams his body against the bars, rattling the cell. And, as a bunch of the guards come running, he backs up and rams the bars again.]
no subject
So yeah, he's not great at the physical aspect of stuff. But he's a great motivational speaker, apparently. He convinced a giant robot to fight a giant monster which is something.
There aren't any of those here of course, but he's still Helping. ]
Hey--hey hey, the guards are coming! Magnus hurry up!
[ h e l p i n g ]
no subject
Okay! You try and see if he has a key, I'll hold off the other ones.
no subject
[ See now that's a task more suited for Rhys's skillset. The man drops like a fly and Rhys immediately hurries over, kneeling down as he starts searching frantically through his pockets.
The first couple turn out nothing of use, but as soon as he gets to the man's belt he finds a comically large keyring and surely, that has to be it. Rhys snatches it up quickly and stands. ]
Got it!
