❖ INTRO & EVENT LOG [ MARCH TO MAY ]
ONBOARDING.
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.
During your stay here, you will receive missions. While it is up to you whether you take on any mission here, I would advise for you to take ones that you are able to handle. These missions will be your lifeline here.
Now, if you have any further questions, now is the time to ask."
And she opens up the floor for questions--any questions.
ARRIVAL.
- Being new to the ship, you might want to take a gander at what the ship's got to offer. The ship is rather large, and there's so much to go through.
From a seemingly almost endless mall to bars to cafes, certainly there's something that caters to every taste! Not to mention that you do have that initial money to spend... so why not do so now?
Just don't get too crazy... you might just lose all of it in a blink of an eye.
Besides the many locations and how one might easily get lost in them, there are times when anti-gravity is turned off, causing characters to fly off in the air.
AND THEN, THEY WERE ROOMMATES.
- At some point before they reach the first planet, they might find themselves locked in their room for an hour. It seems that there was some sort of technical issue, but don't worry! At least you're not alone. They might even hear the AI intercom try and help make things less boring--offering ice breakers as the classic two truths and a lie, pong, and even listening to the top hit song on the S.S Phoenix--over and over and over again.
It's probably fine, though.
WELCOME TO FLORIDA.
- "We have achieved Normality! We've reached our stop--please enjoy everything the world has to offer. You are free to off board at any time."
In early April, the ship eventually arrives at its stop in Florida. There's quite a bit to do and sights to see. Hey, why not head to Disney World while you're at it? It's a fun time for the whole gang!
MISSION START!
Missions can be immediately taken the very moment the ship lands on the new planet. Characters will find on their devices--as well as on the mission board both the list of permanent missions as well as the bi-monthly missions. Characters can take as many or as little as they'd like. But there seems to be an odd little mission for the bi-monthly ones...wonder what that's about?
OOC: Welcome to the first introduction and event post for Fragment Space! This PSL will largely be a choose your own adventure (although there will be extensive mystery and lore) with a lot of exploration and investigation options. If you'd like to investigate or explore something in particular, please label your toplevel with investigation, either in your post yourself or in the headers.
And as always, feel free to ask any questions as needed as I am always willing to clarify or expand on anything.

No, there really is nothing, Miyuki. Everything is fine, so we don't have to worry. Let's just take on the missions together and collect the fragments, okay?
no subject
Because uncharacteristic doesn't begin to describe this. It's got his stomach in knots. ]
Sorry, but I've got nothing but worries on my mind. For instance, right now... figuring out what's happening in your mind right now, Himeko.
[ Hoping that jars some kind of reaction out of her... ]
no subject
You really shouldn't.
[ Her eyes water up a little bit. But she brings a sleeve to wipe them. ]
Sorry, I-- [ The light still hasn't returned to her eyes. ] I shouldn't be crying.
no subject
All things considered, you might just be exhausted. Come on, I'll escort you to your room. We just have to make a quick stop before that.
[ Which means he'll be missing out on his coffee, but this was more important than that. Whatever was happening to her, he can tell one thing: Inaba is more terrified right now than he is. ]
no subject
[ The light in her eyes slowly returns as she squeezes his hand. She's trying her best not to cry, but at least she sounds a lot less cheery and more like herself now. ]
no subject
[ Where hopefully, they can also figure out where that light keeps going. ]
I won't leave your side until we're done. I promise you.
no subject
[ Inaba doesn't say anything, instead look at him with a mixed expression: one that seems to scream worry, concern, and hope. ]
no subject
As they make it to the infirmary, he's holding on tight. Uneasy, hoping that if there is something identifiably wrong, it's something that can easily be fixed.
That, or he'll have to fix it himself. ]
When we're done... there's something I want to properly say to you. For now, let's see what they say.
no subject
Nevertheless, Inaba frowns but as they enter the infirmary, they're greeted by a tall white robot who seems to be way too enthusiastic for their job.
"Welcome in! Welcome in! How may I help you today?" ]
no subject
[ Is it morning? Night? Screw it. ]
I'm Shirogane Miyuki, I just arrived here along with my girlfriend, Inaba Himeko. We were interested in getting a brief check-up to make sure we haven't picked up any bugs anywhere.
[ Which, he's certainly more concerned for Inaba than he is for himself, as always. ]
no subject
[ The robot enthusiastically whirls around the both of them as if watching them both with clear intent before beeping several times.
"Oh!
You've been given a really nasty thing, haven't you?" ]
no subject
[ Right. It was supposed to be when they were alone, wasn't it...
Still, his attention snaps back to the robot once he speaks. ]
What nasty thing? What is it?
no subject
[ She sighs a bit, still looking tense.
"She was poisoned." ]
no subject
If that's the case, then what do we do? What's the antidote?
[ There has to be one. Right? ]
no subject
Sorry. I am not authorized to give that information." ]
Yeah, that figures. And... don't worry, Miyuki. It's just me.
no subject
[ Miyuki's frustration boils over, and even as Inaba speaks, he can still feel that unease tearing him up. ]
You're able to tell me that she's sick, but not willing to put forward a cure? Is this how your organization operates?!
no subject
[ She puts a hand on his shoulder. ]
They're just doing their job. Besides, this is my fault.
no subject
[ Then, he stops. Miyuki has to compose himself, and suddenly, a number of possibilities push forward in his head. Why would it just be Inaba? Why single her out?
He thinks he has the reason, but for the moment... ]
Sorry. I spoke out of line. I was just nervous about--
...thank you. Inaba, we should go.
[ He needs to at least, get away from this doctor. ]
no subject
[ "Have a nice day and enjoy your stay!"
The little robot seems to answer cheerfully with a bright smile on its screen of a face. ]
no subject
He does escort her away from the infirmary, waiting until they're a good distance away until... ]
...[ He doesn't know exactly how to approach this, all things considered, but... ]
That was you, wasn't it?
[ He doesn't feel like he really needs to elaborate too much on that, if he's correct. ]
no subject
[ She nods as she tries to keep close to him. ]
Are you mad?
no subject
[ He sighs, not moving away from her at least. ]
no subject
no subject
[ This feels really, really bad, but he feels that he owes it to her to be honest, even if she isn't initially... ]
To be clear, I'm not mad that you did it in the first place. Honestly, that's kind of impressive.
Still, were you planning on taking the heat for it all on your own?
