"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.

Kobra Kid | open
Kobra heads straight for the beach, because it's the most familiar thing in the world to him. Well, not the water, but the warm sand and the bright sun. Once he figures out that it's less hot and more pleasant than the sweltering desert that he's used to, he finds himself the tiniest male bathing suit he can find and claims a nice space to lounge in the sun in just the speedo and his sunglasses.
If anyone relatively attractive and age appropriate happens to pass by, they will absolutely get some personalized attention from Kobra, be it a flirty smile, a cheesy pick-up line or just some good-natured goofiness. He's in a good mood and he wants to spread the cheer around. Of course, if he sees any kids having fun, he's just as likely to join them in a game of tag or some epic sand castle construction.
In the evening, when the beach is a little more low-key and a little less crowded, Kobra is going skinny-dipping. Or he's trying to go skinny dipping, but he's scared shitless of that much water and he's never put more than his feet or hands into the pool on the ship, so actually he's just naked and going in up to his knees.
When it comes to the snow, he's never seen it before and he will happily yell about it to anyone who will listen, but why stop there? Anyone passing him once he's started to figure out the snow is getting tackled into it. Given how skinny and light he is, the tackling is going to have varying levels of success, but no one is safe.
BF3 - Shopping and Stuffing his face
Food! Kobra isn't being shy about eating all the weirdest things he can find. He's still so weirded out by the readily available food on the Moira and now this? He doubts he can ever go back to dog food after months of this.
He's also buying all the loudest clothes he can find and stocking up on paints and hair dye, but the most important thing he finds is an electronic music player. He makes the store owner show him how to use it and load it with music and he's pretty sure it's the best thing he's ever found, like some kind of treasure. He even gets two sets of headphones so he can share and some speakers for it.
CLF5
At least a few nights, he gets himself a bed just because he can. He tries to bring people home with him some of the night, but on others he just lies in the bed on his back and enjoys the fact that he's comfortable and alone. If he cries a little over his brother, no one is going to see it, so it doesn't count.
[ OOC: Hit me up if you want anything specific and feel free to switch to action if you prefer. ]
no subject
"Hey," she tries to get the guy's attention, but her greeting trails off into a squeak as she realizes something.
He's most definitely not wearing anything, and that is a naked ass she's looking at right now. Not a bad naked ass mind you, as she tips her head off to the side to appreciate it for a second, but is quick to tip her head back upright and tip her eyes toward the sky so it doesn't seem like she was watching him.
"I think you should go out a bit further, if you're looking to swim like that."
no subject
"I'm working on it." He clears his throat. "Also on the swimming thing. You think they'd let people drown here?"
And then he turns around to face her because it's totally rude not to and he's not really too concerned with his lack of clothing right now.
no subject
"There's -"
She's shocked as he turns around, her eyes widening as she blurts out the first thing that comes to mind.
"Your penis." Oh God, she wants the sand to swallow her whole. She glances upward, cheeks puffing out slightly as she tries to maintain patience and not screech at him. "Cover up, would you?"
no subject
"You okay?" Talking over his shoulder is kind of awkward, but whatever. "Didn't mean to offend or..."
He just shrugs, not really sure what the or is. People here are so touchy about things and he just wants to figure out this whole water thing.
no subject
"Are you from the Moira too?" Instead of commenting on the nudity, she looks up at the sky and not directly at him, and asks a completely random question.
no subject
Not that he's all that thrilled with it. All the luxury's nice, but his family would be nicer and they've got things to do back home. He might be less resistant if they were here, though. It's always easier to settle himself around the right people.
"Don't think I've seen you before."
nakey tiemz!
You waitin' for inspiration to strike there, pal?
no subject
[ He laughs, but he hates how obvious he is. Like come on he can't be the only person who doesn't really know how to swim and finds this much water insanely unnerving, right? How come everyone else seems to come from better times with oceans and lakes and shit and he's gotta be the only one that's half scared of the on-ship pool?
He turns a warm smile on his new companion, just this side of flirting. ]
Wanna give me some?
no subject
The longer you stand there, the more likely your pecker's gonna get pinched by a rogue crab. [ And that doesn't sound very good to him at least. ] Better start paddling. Or pissing—Which one are you goin' for here actually?
no subject
If I paddle, how do I know I won't sink?
no subject
no subject
[ He starts taking a few more steps into the water, but he stops around mid-thigh and turns back again. ]
Wait are there really fuckin' dangerous animals in here? My dick is kinda important to me.
no subject
[ Hopefully. It is a whole different planet, so who can really say. But knowing what needs to be done now, Bucky takes off his shirt and tosses it past the tide line. He's rarely one for taking a shirt off in public (you know, all that scar tissue kind of turns the ladies off), but it's growing dark and he'll be in the water soon enough. ]
Just go out to your waist for now, pal...
no subject
[ Kobra sets his shoulders, though, and takes a few more steps, twitching when the water hits his junk because hi hello this is new. ]
Ain't never seen this much water before.
[ He stops when the water's around his waist, fingers skimming the top of it with almost reverence. ]
no subject
[ Bucky trudges on in with hardly any grace or respect, every step making large waves against the stranger. It's clearly once he stands beside the guy again he's at a lost for how to proceed. ]
Shit, I've never taught anyone to swim before. Usually you just get thrown in as a kid and you learn real fast how not to drown...
no subject
[ Not that Kobra's nervous that this guy's about to do that or anything... ]
I saw people movin' all--
[ He mimes some ambiguous swimming moves. ]
no subject
[ Although it's a lot harder to drown yourself in a bath with adult supervision. But what gets him laughing is the dog paddle movements the guy's arms are making. ]
Ha! Right, they do that. So you kinda just... [ Crouching down in the shallow water he slowly spreads his arms and shoots into the water. ] Don't fight the water. That'll only make it harder to stay floating. Try somethin', you won't drown.
[ Although he may take a face full of salt water a few times at first. ]
no subject
He crouches in the water and shifts around to get used to the feeling. It's so weird. He's had opportunities to wash himself on occasion, but not anything like a bath.
After a moment, he starts to move and it's awkward and he gets water in his mouth a little, but he's totally kind of not entirely sinking here! ]
Is this what a bath is like?
no subject
Ha! Not really. A bath is warmer and a lot smaller, just enough water for you to sit comfortably in up to your shoulders. You can't swim in it.
[ And in the hopes of showing the guy how it's done, Bucky treads water in circles around the guy like a dog. ]
no subject
[ And then because he's a man of impulses he gets back on his feet long enough to crouch in the water and splash at Bucky. It's not fair that only one of them is drinking the water. ]
no subject
Oh that's it, cowboy. [ Pushing his curly bangs out of his eyes, he gives him a look. ] You are definitely drownin' tonight!
[ And that's when Bucky fight back with a wave of his own. ]
no subject
Hey no fair! You got the home team advantage. 'M still learnin' here!
[ But he is laughing as he splashes back again. ]
no subject
[ Because it's on now, pal. And Bucky plays to win! That's why he barrels into the other man to try and knock him onto his back. The water's fairly shallow; there's no way he'll drown, but it might give the punk a bit of a scare. ]
no subject
With a sputtering cough, he struggles to get his head above water, thankfully not so hard in the shallow water but it still takes some effort with another dude all tackled on him. ]
Fuck!
[ Caught between a laugh and a cough, he tries to get Bucky in an incredibly ungraceful and flawed headlock of sorts while still not really having his footing back. ]
