"Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us."
The Ingress has pulled you in. Your body experiences several sensations at once: being pushed forward as if a hand is resting on your back, momentary and startling blindness, a gentle ringing in your head. You have difficulty discerning whether it is hot or cold, but where you have been prodded is noticeably warmer than the rest of you. Some may suffer from dizziness while others are perfectly fine. Once equilibrium has been reestablished, you will notice you are standing on a long platform and that the room is filled with a soft cerulean light. It's slightly humid and dark despite the glow around you, and nothing is familiar. Shortly after, you are led out and toward the medbay.
Inside this room, you are given a physical scan and offered a contract to sign that states you are now part of the crew of the Moira with a specific job. This process consists of a complete work-up of medical history and current health, and afterwards, you are given your MID, a device that is integrated into your hand with only the slightest pinch. From there, you are guided out of the medbay and to your living quarters.
Having left Amissis-Re behind, tensions among crew members have continued to escalate into ship-wide consequences, and recognizing the need for some separation among those aboard the Moira, the Captains make the unanimous decision to deviate from their present course to a "nearby" planet that is notable for such popular distractions. While it is not a permanent solution, measures are being taken to monitor the crew's morale much more closely. New arrivals will be treated as they always are; yet, now, more than ever, it is important to stress the balance of working together toward their goal of reaching their destination so that everyone will return home.
WELCOME TO COLLECTIVES ASH3 - BF3 - CLF5
The Collective is a paradise resort located far from any other neighboring planets to offer the most leisurely experience possible to its patrons. Artificially created for multiple uses, it is divided into separate locales interconnected with a tubing transport system that is so fast and efficient that it’s like being teleported to the next area. Extensive mapping can be found at various intersecting points to offer some direction, and there are even recognizable adverts from a very familiar stop months before spread out across the Collective. Whether looking to explore or to simply shed the weight of anxiety, there are plenty of opportunities to be found within ASH3, BF3, and CLF5.
All crew members are given a card from the Captains that has an unlimited amount of credits on it. Organized through trade, these allow Moirans access to any of the luxuries that the Collective has to offer aside from the purchase of items considered weapons due to the escalation of recent events. Food, clothes, trinkets, or even a full spa experience—the limits, otherwise, are endless. The Captains emphasize that this is time to relax and take a break from the grind that is living and working on a spaceship as unique as the Moira.
☄ B.E.A.C.H! THE BEST ESCAPE ANYONE CAN HAVE!
For those seeking a fun time, the Collective offers a variety of activities on ASH3. There are multiple beaches to enjoy as well as beachside kiosks offering drinks, beach toys and surf equipment for those a little more sports-minded. The tide washes in beautiful shells to collect, and there are always life-guards on duty to make sure everyone stays safe while enjoying their time on the beach. ASH3 offers a safe and friendly environment with plenty of fun in the sun for everyone. There is also a boardwalk full of restaurants, bars and plenty of games and entertainment for when you want to step off the sand but don’t want to give up being out in the sun.For those who can’t or won’t bear the sun, ASH3 also offers a thriving night life on both beach and boardwalk. There are midnight boat tours to view the bioluminescent schools of fish native to the island and bonfire dance parties that go long into the mornings. On the boardwalk, all shops are open until midnight as well as many clubs and social spots where crew can mingle with other tourists in the area.
So you don’t like the sand. It’s too hot, and it gets everywhere. Then hop onto one of the many transportation systems, slip into some warmer clothes, and take to the slopes. More experienced crew can immediately dive in, but those who need help can take lessons on how to ski or snowboard. There’s hot cocoa, sleds, snowball fights, and the occasional person making a snow angel (or snow person). ASH3 also has areas for rock climbing, sky diving, base jumping, bodyboarding, canoeing, hang gliding, jetskis, mountain biking, hiking, and much more.
☄ WHEN I SHOP, THE WORLD GETS BETTER Not everyone enjoys shopping, but this Collective entices even the most frugal and reluctant into spending their credits here. In fact, the Captains are encouraging this. They give the explicit “order” to buy whatever you want for yourself and your fellow crew members, but more than that, to consider making purchases to better the ship. Is there any area of the Moira that needs spruced up? Maybe some fresh paint in the mess hall,or new furniture in the decks? Maybe some fancy curtains for all those windows on the observation deck, or a few throw pillows? New pots and pans for the kitchen might be something to add to this list as well as equipment for the rec area, or whatever else you think BF3 will have to help increase comfort aboard the Moira.
To enhance your shopping experience, the technology here allows you to try on clothes without lifting a hand. The food here is an unlimited spread of gourmet dining to comfort food and every dessert you can think of. When you’re finished with your purchases, have all your packages and larger items delivered back to the ship for you.
☄ TREAT YO SELF The accommodations on the Collective of CLF5 are as unique as they come. Lodging is available for those who want to sleep in an environment that’s underwater or perhaps those who desire something as simple as a soft bed. No matter what kind of room you want to purchase for the night, it’ll be available here, and the only true limit is the imagination. When you aren’t relaxing in a hotel room, you’ll find that there are numerous spas and hair salons that offer varied services. Gold face masks rejuvenate your skin, the Ever Young™ Spa can make you look ten years younger with one treatment, and the mud baths are known across the universes for making you feel youthful and refreshed. If you’re looking for a new hairstyle or to relax, this Collective is the place for you to spend those hard-earned credits.

the fledgling | open!
[ Ava's absence during the day isn't entirely strange considering her usual nocturnal schedule. While the prospect of a resort world is exciting, she still can't walk in the sunlight, and that really ruins half the fun. Still, she can be found enjoying the beach in the late evening, when the last rays of sun have just barely dipped over the horizon. There's still a purple/pink glow that she can soak in and little else, but at least the weather's still warm enough for swimwear. She's come dressed for the occasion and has taken every measure to enjoy what time she can have on the beach. Most nights, she can be found down by the water, the place she's called hers dotted with lanterns that can be seen from out in the ocean so she knows where to swim back to. There's yoga on the beach, combat training, exercise, and a ton of swimming. If she doesn't need to breathe, she can at least explore the sea as she wishes. Though she doubts there's anyone still out and about at night (and she's expecting there won't be), she won't say no to company in any respect.
Early in the morning, before sunrise, she can be found sitting on the beach with a ton of finds: shells of all kind, varying different trinkets she's found in the sea, and some stones to keep as mementos. Even she can be a little sentimental. There's a few books by her spot for reading in the dark (yes, with a little night light) and a leather-bound notebook where she seems to be dotting down notes about what she's found. You might even catch her stringing shells or flowers for the fun of it. Who wants a shell/flower crown? ]
shop 'til you drop;
[ Unlimited charge cards are a blessing. Ava doesn't exactly go crazy with it...but there's a lot that she needs that the Moira doesn't provide. A few changes of clothes, some jewelry, notebooks, shoes...and a ton of books and movies. Why not enjoy the entertainment space has to offer? The books vary from history and the geography of the resort planet to mythologies and folklore, some fiction interspersed throughout. She has a thirst for knowledge and if she has to spend an eternity living, she might as well make the best of it.
The books take up the majority of what she wants to bring back and she already feels sorry for her roommates who will have to deal with all of that. If she spots you and you're from the Moira (new or not), you might find your arms full of a box of books that weigh far too much for an average person to carry. ]
Can you hold these for just a second? I want to put the other things in my bag so I can carry this back to the ship.
[ She shoots the individual a faint and apologetic smile. ]
I can carry some of your stuff too, if you want.
[ And for those of you looking for a shopping partner, she's here to help you try on new outfits and give friendly critique. It's not every day they get to have a vacation from their somewhat dire situation. ]
wildcard;
[ Ava can be found exploring much of the planet when possible (obviously, only at night), briefly visiting the mountain range, and taking part in other various activities. If you want anything specific, I can write a prompt! Just PM me with what you'd like.
If you do want CR, please fill out the permissions post for her so I know what's okay ]
shop til you drop
He nods and smiles at Ava, he recognizes her from the ship, and sticks his arms out to hold her stuff.]
Yeah, sure. No problem.
[Eggsy tips his head curiously.]
Haven't been able to decide on anythin' myself.
no subject
Really? There's a lot here... I imagine it's probably overwhelming.
[ She gives him an awkward smile. ]
I figured I'd stock up on books for myself that can be donated to the library when I'm done. And products for the bathrooms.
[ Skin cream, all of that. ]
Are you looking for anything specific?
no subject
[It was kind of overwhelming, but mostly he just couldn't think of what to get. Was one of those things, he supposed, have no money and got a list a mile long, have all the money and can't think of anything.]
Bet Liz'll love that.
[Maybe he'd grab Elizabeth a book or two.]
Well, what would you get a guy that's kinda serious, but like, really nice?
no subject
shop shop shop
Sure thing.
[Oof, this weight is heavy...and familiar.]
You might not want to make that offer, though. I think I've got even more books than you.
no subject
beach bum
He knows the beach is safe, but he keeps expecting mirklurks to come clattering out of the water at any second anyway, so although he wears a swimsuit of black, red, and white diamonds, like a very bare harlequin, he can't bring himself to go into the water. So he just walks across the sand and follows the lanterns: another habit from the Commonwealth. Lanterns lead to the Railroad.
When he reaches the lanterns and sees Ava, he pauses in his stroll.]
Hey. That's not much light for reading. Must be a really good book.
