peridexion | RECYCLEDCRAFT: Space Sex Mystery?

PREMISE (example)

You awaken on a train - or a sleek-feeling spacecraft, or a boat, or even a submarine.
The shape of the craft isn't important, or even immediately apparent - but you are here, a sealed, surprisingly comfortable room with a soft bed, whereas before you were home. If home was even where you wanted to be.

"Good morning, passenger," a voice purrs; you can feel a presence with it, but there's no indication anyone is in the room with you.

There is, however, a comfortable weight along your legs, your arms, your spine... something appears ready to keep you here for a while.

What will you do?

CONTEXT

What is this, exactly? This premise is a smut spinoff of a wider continuity - the 'space'craft your character is on has taken your character from their home. It - any and all pronouns are fine, and if you OOCly have a preference just give a heads-up in your starter comment and we'll go from there - has been through quite a time recently, having lost its crew and the programming that initially determined its purpose. (Some data/facts still remain for basic navigation and specialization - see the next entry!) Nor does it remember exactly how it happened, just that something terrible happened and it has to do things more on-its-own now.

But what it can still do is (A) interpret characters' emotions and respond accordingly, (B) provide safe and sturdy transport plus life support and (C) bond intensely with those now tied to it!

This can be for a one-on-one scenario, a group account, or even joint threading if everyone would like to put in the time to sort things out! Can start with the premise above, or can be time-skipped along to where both parties are familiar with one another.

OPTIONS

What kind of 'craft are you on, anyway?
The Ace - originally a sleek fighter craft, this one was made to take to space and the skies with impunity! Very flexible, good at interpreting orders, and still carries echoes of 'tude from its former crew. And now it's focusing all that energy on you. Think you can take it?

Star-Gazer - originally a solo-craft meant for exploration, this 'craft was built to take someone far, and to provide companionship to anchor someone to reality on the way. It's designed to be cozy, and is not meant to be shared. Maybe it remembers another name alongside yours, but it no longer recalls those memories consistently. But perhaps that isn't a bad thing...

Like the Lightning - this was a mercenary's craft, passed along from generation to generation. With acute knowledge of trade routes and meticulously-crafted stealth routines to take shelter on even the most unexpected worlds, its job is to do the job - but it can't do so alone, and that's where you come in. Such a partnership does come with benefits, as a matter of course.

The Lost One* - a missioncraft, badly damaged, better suited for a group than an individual... but it has found someone, and will desperately work to make sure they are safe. Believes very strongly in doing the Just thing, but now it doubts it knows how to determine that anymore. Appears to have lost everything twice over, and has just enough memory to make it very hard to accept things at face value. Befriending this one is the most difficult possibility, but it is doable - if you wish to sincerely try.

*This IS meant to poke fun at myself, to be clear.

GENERAL SCENARIOS

Introductions - Exactly what it says on the tin.
Visiting a World - Can be just shopping, can be a 'risk of getting caught' sort of deal, or you've caught whiff of Adventure. Each 'craft will have different reactions, of course, but fun CAN be had by all!
Voidstorm* - Traveling through one of these tends to have... unique effects. Usually ones that are temporarily bad for one's sanity, but not having to be alone during them is supposed to help. Or it can just make things weirder; you never know! Don't try to break the windows and go outside, though; that's never a good idea.

*I'm not changing what it's called, because I can't think of anything better to call it. To explain 'from the outside': imagine if sex pollen were a space phenomenon you could fly through, and be directly effected mentally/emotionally. Hallucinations, particularly shared hallucinations, are common. Seeing people you love outside and feeling compelled to go out there is also possible. Other possibilities include seeing emotions as aura colors, feeling compelled to speak and act on one's deepest feelings, and not being able to understand other languages.
You can see why sex pollen wouldn't be out of place here, right?

Khell and Rren shared a look at that. That did not exactly relax Khell. But Rren spoke up before she could. "I would inquire as to why we are here. Did you or someone else on the ship bring us here? If so. How?"

'You were both suffering from direct exposure to the void, and had not yet been dissolved. I do not know what had specifically drawn you outside of your system, but I can surmise it from wider void-derived circumstances. There is no one else aboard this ship, currently.'

There was a detectable pause before the ship continued, 'Tethering functions have remained operational between when this ship was last inhabited and discovering the two of you in the void. There was no standing counterorder against doing so.'

Another pause. Another shared look. Khell still seemed skeptical, but Rren was Curious and they were not likely to stop asking questions unless she flat out interrupted. "What is the difference between Voidspace and outer space? And what are tethering functions?"

'Archives across the multiverse concur that 'outer' space is any location outside of a suitable planet or other life-inhabitable environment. Voidspace is an 'un' space, where certain elements of life-bearing worlds are received as a kind of radiation, connecting disparate worlds and universes alike, as well as a way of traveling between them.'

Switching to the next question, Like the Lightning continued, 'Tethering, by current standardized procedures, is the connection of a being's mind/soul/essence to their body, and both to a suitable voidcraft. Anything that only connects two of these is deemed insufficient protection against the void and voidsickness.'

"We were on our ship. Nothing was wrong. So how in the elements did we end up in this void for you to find?" Khell snapped. Not buying this nonsensical explanation at all. She didn't know who had grabbed them or why, but this? Was absurd.

Rren didn't interrupt. Khell was angry, and interrupting to ask questions wouldn't calm her down right now. Time would. The fact they were both okay. The fact that the tether could be verified... might not actually help. Honestly, it might just make her more suspicious unless they waited for her to calm down to point it out.

Again, Like the Lightning waited several moments before responding.

'While there are locations where your system number as well as its current status can be more accurately verified, bringing you to them without giving you time to compose yourselves would be, at best, imprudent.'

At worst, a recipe for summoning a void storm. Not something any of them needed just now.

Khell rolled her eyes, but seemed to be calming down, even without it being clear as to what had shifted her demeanor. Maybe it was just that Rren was there, they were both safe enough. If Rren hadn't been here? Well, all bets would be off. "Fine. In the meantime this space seems pretty bare. Don't suppose there's anything to do?"

'The previous main occupants of this voidcraft- have already left.'

Like the Lightnin didn't sigh, but would if it could have.

'Anything that is not the void engine itself, or the pipage for life support or related function, is safe to touch. You are welcome to move around items as you wish.'

That is, anything not essential to the function of the voidcraft was up for grabs.

'There is a small assortment of informational and gaming devices three rooms down from your location, marked with a yellow circle on the door. I will alert you when we are about to pull in at a void platform. Further requests can also be made there.'
