Come on, work you piece of garbage-

[Looks like someone has been trying to post to the network for a while now, finally getting in. He looks, on edge to say the least.]

Alright, so, I've got no idea if I'm coming in loud and clear, but this is Isaac Clarke. I was trapped like a few others were in the cooridors for a while. But- I got to this room.

Wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen, but it sure didn't put me at ease.

"Don't believe everything they tell you." That ring any bells with anyone else? I can't seem to find the room again now, what the hell...

If anyone gets this, a response would be just peachy. Clarke out.

[End Feed.]

[She's keeping it together, but her voice is a little shaky.]

You...saw it too?

What exactly did you see?

Yeah. Two skeletons, couple creepy messages, and some food in a weird room.

I'd be lying if I said the food was the part that caught me off guard.

A weird room at the end of the neverending cooridors, a left out plate of food, and some neatly arranged skeletons. Crewmen, if the suits were any indication.

Plus the message I already quoted.

Yeah... Exactly.

[On one hand, she's not hallucinating. On the other--]

You didn't touch it, did you?

The skeletons or the food? I took a bite of the food. I'm not convinced just yet that the ship's trying to kill us.

..emphasis on yet.

[ Well that got Kara to fall silent a moment. WTF. :/ ]

No idea who they might have been - we're just assuming their crew?

This room – it just appeared suddenly?

You're not

[Coming in loud and clear, he means. But ~~in theory~~ he's wandering around, so he's not sure if he has time to waste on garbled messages from strangers. As much as he hates texting, it seems to work better with a sucky cell phone signal, so why not try it here.]

Try texting

How's this?

[Isaac, for how on edge he looks, talks like he's discussing the weather.]

Too old to be anyone recent, those bones were clean and the place didn't have any bloodstains. Definitely crewmen, the suits match up with what we're given.

But yeah, the door was out of nowhere.

Better
What's this about a room then

Weird room, message "Don't believe everything they tell you" on the walls, plate of food, note of invitation, and two neatly arranged skeletons. Bones cleaned, tranquilty crewmember suits on their remains.

[That... takes him a second to digest. Damn would he like to smoke.]

Can you get out

[Did he get out? First things first, he supposes.]

So it's a high possibility they might be part of the original crew. [ She pauses then, letting a small sound of thought out. It's amazing just how calmly they can be discussing something like this. ]

Ward and Resnik -- they never came out with a theory on what happened to the original crew did they?

too familiar.

[Welcome to the night shift of Isaac's job. Horrors everywhere.]

Not to my knowledge. But yeah, them being original crew is highly likely.

Would go back and fetch what I could for study, but I can't find the room anymore.

Out. Can't find the room again.

Slightly disconcerting.

Not just me then. Looks like the signal problens stopped when I left the room. Goodie.

Not exactly worried, but now I'm sure there's something afoot.

Right
Guess you're going to the passenger decks then.  It's been safe there so far

Who the fuck is "they" supposed to be

seriously the creepiest thing i've ever seen ):
did everybody see the same thing?

Why would you eat it? You don't know how long it's even been there.

[Seriously, Isaac.]

...Do you think the ship is sentient?

Didn't look rotten to me. And... well, it seemed like whoever wrote those notes were welcoming us.

[He was hungry, okay? Come on.]

...I'm not sure yet. I've heard weirder though.

Always felt more confortable on the engineering deck, but yes.

I don't have a clue. Suspicions, but no clues.

Looks like it.

I'm rather surprised it's been that consistent.

Can't really comment on the creepy factor, myself.

and someone afoot.

[someone writing on the walls, at least.

she's used to this shit. the food and skeletons were pretty new though.]

Different ship, same problems.

Sounds about par for the course.

[Isaac was only surprised by the food, but the writing definitely didn't phase him.]

Edited (asdfasdfg MY HTML SKILLS ARE FAILING ME) 2012-02-21 22:30 (UTC)

[But that was the disturbing part. It didn't look rotten. In fact, it looked fresh...which meant someone - or something - hadn't been long when they were around. They were definitely being watched.]

Have you? Like what?

[Just another day, for Isaac.]

Oh you know. Genetic information from alien artifacts being beamed into your skull. Hallucinations, mutations resulting in undead aliens.

All the usual.

Haven't heard about anything weird there either.  For now at least

Does anyone here have a damn clue?

skeletons are new.

[for her]

well whoever it was sure got generous with the chocolate cake. i'm way too stingy to share with a whole ship.

For now.

Survey says 'no', but thanks for playing. You get a copy of the Crazy Tranquility home game for all your friends to play with you.

Not for me. Just another day here.

What's your story?

More than enough food for each solitary visitor who stumbled upon it, looks like.

Yeah, just another run-of-the-mill engineering expedition.

too long.

Join the club. We meet on Thursdays, there's punch and cookies.

[OH BOY A JOKE THAT'S NOT AT HER EXPENSE. this would be the part where a strained small smile forms and there's a breath of a laugh.

but this is text, so.]

and cake?

[no stop it old meme is old you're not being funny Chell you're being stupid.]

I'll put it to committee, all in favor of cake, say aye.

Aye.

...Well, with you and me, that's a unanimous vote.

[DISREGARD THE SNARKY COMMENTARY he is actually kind of chuckling at this right now. KINDRED SPIRITS, HO.]

only two?

Not like it would prove much - other then we are clearly fraked.

You able to get back to your room least?

For now.

But look on the bright side, our membership has doubled in the last twelve hours. By that pace, we'll have a big enough club in half a week.

Yeah, fraked is a good term to use. I always preferred the less-censored version myself.

Just fine. Things went back to normal the minute I got out of that room.

[...What.]

And you talk about it like it's perfectly normal.

Where I come from, it's a normal day in space. At least for me.

And since you've been here, have any of these things happened for you? Have you been suffering from hallucinations?

Little bit, if we're being honest. Mostly aftershocks after I first arrived.

It's only a matter of time. This place has the atmosphere for that kind of thing. Can't be too careful.

[HORROR PROTAG 101: DISTRUST EVERYTHING]

[BEST ADVICE EVER, OKAY.]

Have you been to medical yet about it?

[Headshaking.]

It's fine. They haven't happened since. And besides, they keep me on edge.
