OPEN PSL ❖ fragment space

[moes]

"Welcome to the S.S Phoenix! We hope you enjoy your stay!"

You open your eyes feeling a little stiff. The last thing you recall is seeing your planet get destroyed before a hand reached out to you--Captain's hand. You were then greeted with the same introductory phrase before receiving the keys to their brand new dorm, a device--you're told it's called the Babelfish, something that allows you to interact with others through the interdimensional network--and perhaps an extra thing or two.

You are then ushered into the onboarding area, where you can see your fellow passengers. Some foreign faces, perhaps even some familiar ones. Before you are given any time to think, however, Captain, at the head of the room, speaks up.

"Once again, welcome new guests, to the S.S. Phoenix! You may call me Captain. Today is your first day of onboarding, where you can get to learn more about us and your fellow passengers.

We are part of the Interdimensional Galactic Coalition, a system that was created to keep order and peace amongst the multiverse. This ship that you're currently in is now your new home. Consider the card that you have obtained your citizenship. However, staying here comes with a price.

As you already know, your worlds were destroyed. And we are here to help restore those worlds into proper order. But in order to do that, you must obtain Fragments. These mysterious Fragments will then power our ship's Revival Program. Those can be found in various worlds.

Now, if you have any further questions, now is the time to ask."

And she opens up the floor for questions--any questions.

[ OOC: Welcome, everyone, to a long form PSL in the form of Fragment Space! The premise of this is that your character's universes have been destroyed -- player's choice on the how -- and they have been rescued by the Captain to adventure to various worlds.

This PSL will very much be an exploration/mystery setup, with various types of settings that I will work with players on.

Locations for the S.S. Phoenix can be found here, and current NPC information can be found here.

In terms of moving things along, I will try to make sure that things move smoothly at least once a month. If you need to contact me for any questions/comments/concerns, please ping me either on plurk (tsundereban) or Discord (tsunderebans)! As this is an open PSL for my timeline, characters who participate may also interact with each other if they'd like, or keep things separate. I'm willing to run with things either way. ]

[ She isn't glitching anymore so she looks... relatively normal?

Wearing a black cloak, has long, messy dark hair and bangs that cover her hazel eyes.

She looks to be about in her mid to late teens; this is decisively not an adult by any means of the word. ]

[waywardcomet]

[... Oh.

So a kid's involved with all of this? Sure, she doesn't seem to be much older than Kiana, from what she can see, but that's kind of...

... After recent events, maybe something's hitting a little closer than she expected.

Careful once more to keep her footsteps masked by the girl's work on her computer, she's going to try to get in close and slip under the chair. Perfect vantage point to keep on spying, while also not being in immediate line of sight once the alarm goes off or if the girl decides to look up.]

[moepcs]

[ Sighing, she leans a little against the couch a little more; seems like she's stopped typing.

Looking at the alarm: ]

Half an hour left, huh. Nobody's going to come today, it looks like...

[waywardcomet]

...

[This is probably a bad idea, but look. Kiana is not really that well known for her smart, well thought out plans.]

Are you waiting for someone? What for?

[moepcs]

[ ...!

She almost tumbles and falls off the couch in an overdramatic way but only barely manages to catch herself with her palms.

This does mean, however, she needs to get back up on her feet to stand up, whirling around to face the direction Kiana's voice is coming from. ]

Why is it that everyone so far has decided to spook me...

[ It's said with exasperation. ]

I left the door slightly open on purpose to see if anyone who got turned into a toy would take the bait.

[waywardcomet]

Well, you couldn't expect everyone to just walk in like there's no possibility of a trap! That'd be like asking for trouble for us!

[Well at least she's not being attacked yet... that's a good sign. For now.]

There must be something you can't tell us out there, huh? Some big secret?

[moepcs]

Well, it isn't as if I wouldn't have done the same.

[ At least she's honest??? ]

And that's right. I literally can't say it outside of this space.

[waywardcomet]

... Because this whole place outside of this room is bugged?

[moepcs]

It's true that eyes are out there, but... it's more like. I physically can't say anything? I'm cursed outside this room.

[waywardcomet]

Cursed?

[Ah... no wonder she said that the captain couldn't be trusted.]

Is that why you looked like a glitching video game character before you came in here?

[moepcs]

[ She nods. ]

It's the apt way to put it, even if it's not technically correct.

[waywardcomet]

... What do you mean? Is it something you can talk about here?

[moepcs]

The technical term is that I was poisoned, by the Captain, for seeing things I shouldn't have.
