Ten years later, humanity and the synthetic life on the station are at odds
Hypatia has inducted as many citizens of Sacrosanct into a private military and launched
an all-out war against organic life and the people of Asphodel.
Some were kept on the station as captives, some escaped down planet-side
to become part of the resistance, and countless others were re-purposed into
Hypatia's willing slaves.

Now, tensions are at a peak and both sides are preparing for a throwdown. Skirmishes break out on the station and planet. Many of Hypatia's prisoners have been freed, but many more have fallen to the clutches of reprogramming.

Where will you be?


How this works:
-If you are synthetic or part-synthetic, OR if you have special armor (Looking at you, Spartans, Troncast, EVERY ROBOT EVER) you are a target for re-purpose.
You can still have escaped down to the planet, but she'll be after you. Going to the station is dangerous, once you enter her wide-area-network you are at risk of being hacked

-If you are fully organic, you are either dead, kept prisoner and made to work on the station, or part of the resistance on Asphodel.

-Anything in-between? You decide. Be creative with this.

-Fill out the form below to give us an idea of what your character is up to, what happened to them etc. Thread with each other! RP it out!

-Also, bring in your extra journals! There won't be the same people on the station ten years from now! If you're planning to app someone, or just have something interesting lying around, toss them in!

Eridan slowly realized he's not going to have enough booze left before he finds out all of his friends are dead.


He keeps on pouring one for them. Sob.

[featheryasshole]

He doesn't look up from the panel he's repairing, doesn't even hear her voice. (he never knew much about machinery before, but that was easily fixed) There's no reaction at all, actually. He doesn't need to talk in order to complete the task at hand, so he stays silent.

[friendleading]

To absent friends.

/munchmunchmunch.

[astrometry]

She never expects a reaction from him any more. Quietly, she speaks again. It's the only way she knows how to get him to speak to her -- to demand orders, to prove her height on the chain of command and force him to speak.

"Davesprite, state directive. Order #4596 from Sacrosanct Personel JH1201."

They would meet sometimes. Rarely. They both had an entire planet to wander. Jin had been a nomad for six hundred years; that wasn't going to change now. He could never bear to stay with the resistance for long. It was too much, looking at all those tired, hungry, angry faces. Seeing which ones were missing.

He's miles from the nearest base, walking in human form. He prefers to be a dragon, but he's far enough from everything that he's not worried about ambush. Sometimes he likes to feel the earth below human feet.

He sees him coming, flying low across the planet's surface, his face blank as the Cybertronian approaches. He wonders sometimes if Skyfire--Jetfire--even remembers him.

It's another painful ache of memory, just another reason why he's gone back to preferring solitude.

"Jetfire."

He remembers Jetfire's original name, but that's juts a memory too.

Sacrosanct is a nightmare, but it's at least a comfortable one. Out here in the wastes, he's miserable. Biting wind, choking dust, and worst of all, nothing but drones for company. Hypatia sends him here often. He thought he'd get used to it, but so far he dreads the trip every time. Still, he goes. He's of no use to anyone if he disobeys and winds up dead.

Here he is, on another run to the planet, a digital list in his head of tasks. The faster he finishes, the sooner he'll be back where he can keep an eye on the kids, even if it means nothing in the long run. Even if he fails them, he has to try.

Thus why he goes on alert the moment his mechanical eye warns him of movement nearby.

[notjelly]

Jade was always one of the ones Camille was trying to save. She had a list and repeated their names to stay sane while she was in Hypatia's care.

[notjelly]

From one addiction to another. Sob Eridan :(

[nyctophobias]

She always missed Eridan :(

[princeofhope]

No it's just a celebration/side thing.

He's... been trying to stay clean :C...

[supernova1006]

He makes no effort to hide himself. There would be no point, not with how big he is. He comes to a stop and just watches as Ladon approaches.

He can't talk in this form either, but again, there would be no point. Ladon had been a dragon, a friend, someone to look up to and obey once. Now...

Now there was no one.

He rumbles a little, not in warning or anger, but almost as a greeting.

still the most awkward bbs to ever fall into a relationship?

[friendleading]

"You're going to get yourself killed one day, you know."

It feels like they'd had this conversation way too many times to count. He could almost see how she'd respond in his mind. While John was usually working support, Vriska volunteered for every dangerous mission, and he worried over her. But a Matesprit is not a Moirail, and Vriska had predictably taken Davesprite's capture the worst out of all of them. He had been trying to keep himself absorbed in work, but he still was worried about Vriska to an insane degree.

"You need to pull back on these missions. I'm really getting worried. You're not letting yourself rest."

Said the pot to the kettle.

[lithp]

"Thay pleeeeaaaaaathe," Sollux shoots back, his voice taking on a cruel and mocking edge. "Please please please, Thollukth, you're not a person anymore so why should I bother asking. Right? You can go fuck yourself, since I'm presently indisposed in that arena. Next time you feel like a system update try remembering the system is sentient and doesn't need you for a fucking thing to run this show. Get out."

[gamzgrewup]

They compete sometimes. He almost respects her, the way a lion might respect another lion's territory. He avoids her territory most of the time. But sometimes he tests her. Pushes the limits.

He crawls deliberately through her tunnels, searching for her. Maybe he'll kill her today.

[justamobster]

He stops when Jin comes into view. He could cover his eye, leave himself vulnerable yet deny Hypatia the footage she obtains through him. But it's too late-- the moment the other dragon came into view it would be difficult to ignore him. He's too bright against such a dreary background.

"You need t'leave," he yells over the wind. "She's already seen you."

[princeofhope]

:( Nevar 4get

[gamzgrewup]

He likes the cultists. They taste better.

There's one of them, a wanderer, that he's been hunting for awhile. This one is clever, good at hiding. But lately that's changed. Like an old or sick deer, this one is flagging.

They're always easier to pick off once they've left the herd.

He hunts his prey now in the darkness, silent.

[lithp]

Sollux's whole being just droops. I wish you'd believe I can protect myself on my own ground, he replies dejectedly. And Eridan doesn't give a shit anymore. You've seen the shit he does. As far as he's concerned, the minute we couldn't fuck was the minute I wasn't a troll anymore. Nothing worth hating, just the annoying computer he has to deal with to get anything done.

[balancetheblood]

Toby's breath catches in her chest, and she wishes she could see right now, because she knows that voice and she wants to take him and check him over and never let him out of her hearing again. She'd made precious few close friends, and when he'd stayed behind, she'd lost one of them. She'd lost him, Jade, Buffy, almost lost May a couple of times, despite May's insistence that she couldn't die and was in no danger.

"Ladon?" She silently curses the fact that her voice is trembling a bit, but she can't stop it. "Oak and Ash, I cannot tell you how good it is to hear your voice again, boss."

[gamzgrewup]

There's no memory at all. Even the concept of a matesprit is lost to him. What need has a monster for others?

So when he sees this one in the tunnels, traveling, going visiting--doesn't matter, the only thing he recognizes is the scent. Fish.

All that means is tastier prey.

So he hunts.

[princeofhope]

His fangs show as he hissed at him. "I fuckin' understand that, but you know maybe I just wanted some fuckin' updates without you doin' it yourself, okay?!" He clenched his fists, the more he listens to him the more he wears thin. He just wanted to do something drastic in this state of mind he's in.

He bites his lip, turning his head away. Fuck, stop that. Stop acting like that. His breath was shakey, he was trying to at least lower his temper down a peg. Through gritted fangs, he gnashed out something else, "Or ... Maybe I just wanted to fuckin' say hello but you fuckin' took it as the wrong thing."

[originaljoe]

It seems gathering scars ran in the adopted family. Seeing Eridan come back like that had been horrible for Joe. Still, not as bad as if the kid had died. He was the only family Joe still had so, between throwing himself at missions that were too dangerous for his own good he would mostly spend time visiting Eridan. He may be grown but, never hurt to have a space dad.

It was on such an occasion that he saw Eridan this time. "I hear they're going to send another team out ta look for Gamzee. I think I'm gonna volunteer this time." After all, the Prince needs some Hope some days too.

[supernova1006]

He doesn't care. Let her see. She has no hope of tracking him, not when he has the entire planet to wander. She must know about his travels to the junkyard, but that doesn't matter either.

She can do whatever she wants to him. It won't make him stop.

He just stares at Ladon and tosses his head in a sort of shrug. But his heart is racing.

It's been ten years since he heard Ladon's voice. It's clear some part of Ladon is still fighting.

[lithp]

"Don't die." Sollux's voice is lower in timbre this time, and even a bit scared. "I always think when you leave that you're not coming back. You're my best friend and I'll never forgive you for it."

[justamobster]

He swallows. It's the air choking him up down here, it has to be. He can't... he can't be stupid about this. He can't put her in danger, even if he just wants to see her, wants to know she's all right.

If he knows, though, Hypatia will know. She'll find out, somehow. If he wants to do anything, he needs to disable his eye, and even then there's no guarantee.

"Wish I could say the same." It takes him a moment to compose himself. "But I'm. M'glad you're all right. M'glad you made it."
