Welcome to the Program

[airlockedmods]

Good Morning, Champions. In the interest of maintaining healthy sleep patterns, a day/night cycle is in effect. Your presence is expected in the cafeteria in exactly one hour.

[The voice comes through not a large speaker, but through the device that's attached to each Champion's arm. Further investigation of the features of the device will reveal a list of profiles, a mini-map, and a list of rules. The hallways are shiny white and silver, with running lights along the floor and lights on the ceiling, and at the junction of the hallways is a sign with a knife and fork icon and an arrow pointing down the hall.

Welcome to the Excellence Program, Champions. Time to get to know your teammates.]

Ugh, all my stitches would probably come undone. I haven't had to get a new back bone before either, and I'd kinda like to keep it that way. I think I'm gonna stick to good ol' Earth. There's more conventions there.

[theundertaken]

[theundertaken]

Uh, yeah, probably.

[................does he ask]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

[Prrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooobly not?]

..... At least it's fucking outer space. I mean, damn, I never saw myself being in space at all.

[theundertaken]

Yeeeeeeah. [Well, now the moment is passed.] Yeah! It's kinda neat, right? Even though, uh, everything else. I wish we could see Earth from here.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Yeah, that's kinda concerning now that ya mention it. I mean, is there even a space station far out enough that ya can't see Earth?

[Where the fuck are they???]

[theundertaken]

Not that I know of? But maybe it's on the other side, and we'll see it when we rotate around.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Yeah, hopefully. At least we'd have an better idea of where we are. I don't like the idea we could be out in the middle of unknown space or someshit.

[theundertaken]

As long as we don't have a way off, it wouldn't really matter if we were close to Earth. But I'd feel better just to see it.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Yeah... I totally get that. It's not like it'd do shit, but it's way more comforting than empty space!

[theundertaken]

Definitely. And it’d make things easier if we did ever find a way off, assuming we could get through the atmosphere okay.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Yeah! Better Earth than some random alien planet. I uh... reaaaallly don't think any of us are the best people to make first contact with.

[theundertaken]

......fair.

I’m Max, by the way.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Nice ta meetcha Max-kun! The name's Zombina!

[THE STITCHES COMMENT FROM EARLIER IS PROBABLY MAKING MORE SENSE NOW.]

[theundertaken]

...............soooooooooooooooooooo.

What's the deal......?

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

With my name? Well I'm the world's liveliest corpse ya know!

[That's self proclaimed to be exact.]

[theundertaken]

[.......this is horrifying]

Neeeeat...

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

[ Eeeeeh.... a bit boring of an reaction but whaaaatevers. It's unique in that he's still responding.]

What? No questions?

[theundertaken]

I mean, I have a ton of questions, and also some screaming, but that seemed pretty rude.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Scream away! It's always super amusing nine times outta ten when other do that! Feel free to ask any and all questions too!

[theundertaken]

....yeeeeeeeeeeeah, not gonna do it now. [screw that] So, what the fuck?

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Yer gonna hafta be more specific 'bout what yer referring ta.

[There's a lotta things that he can be referring to. Fuck is an very versatile and broad word.]

[theundertaken]

You're a zombie?

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Yup! Ya need proof? 'Cause I can totally take off an limb or something!

[theundertaken]

Please do not do that?

Just, uh, how. Why are you talking, and are you going to start rotting.
