"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.

Frisk | OTA
[Save for the odd hiccup of last month, Frisk's little self-appointed duty has become a very comfortable little tradition. And it's one that they take very seriously! Even if Zam isn't feeling well after...whatever happened yesterday, they've got to do their best and make sure everyone gets taken care of and properly helped.]
[Frisk has settled themself just on the inside of the door to the Ingress, sitting on the floor and working on...some sort of worksheet? There's a lot of facts about snails on there. Any existing crew poking their head in will get a look up and a friendly wave, but newcomers coming through the Ingress earn a bit more of a reaction.]
[Frisk sets their homework aside and springs to their feet, running over with a wide and friendly smile.] Hi, welcome to the Moira! You're not dizzy or nothin', are you?
B: Fun in the sun
[They might still be grounded, but Toriel is a merciful mother and when both of her children pouted and begged and promised to be really really good, she relents and allows both children a few days of fun on the beach. And Frisk is taking full advantage of their temporary freedom--they can be found fishing in tide pools, collecting shells in the sand, or playing out in the surf with a delicious looking innertube.]
[All, of course, within view of their mother. Gotta be on their best behaviour, you know.]
C: Shop 'til you drop
[Once their grounding is finally over, Frisk is off like a rocket to check out the rest of the Collective. The myriad shops and stores are a bit of an overload for a child that is maybe a bit too used to living on the frugal side, but eventually they do find something to focus on.]
[Frisk doesn't recognize a single one of these games, and half the console systems are so loaded down with peripherals that you can hardly tell what the original function was meant to be, but they are having a BLAST testing them out and probably going to buy out half the store if they aren't stopped. Anyone want to stop and play with them?]
D: Wildcard!
( ooc: Have a different idea? Hit me up via PM or over on

No, I'm fine now. Thanks for the welcome.

Yu Narukami. It's nice to meet you, Frisk.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DO THAT. xDDD

B
[Okay, he should probably be introducing himself to his friends again while he's in his holomatter form. But that slips his mind completely in favor of pausing to observe Frisk and the tidepool.]
[Fishing is a foreign concept, sorry little friend.]

[There's a pause, as the eager grin he's wearing gets a bit... embarrassed.]

Frowning in confusion behind his visor, he steps over to the doorway and leans inside. It only takes a few seconds to locate the source of the noise--a kid on the floor, working on...something. He watches them in silence for just a moment, his utter confusion as to why a kid would be working in here getting the better of him. ]
What are you doing in here?
[ For what it's worth, it's not as demanding as it could be. Since it is a kid, he dials it back a bit, but there's definitely disapproval in his tone. ]
This isn't the place to be doing your homework.
no subject
I'm jus' doin' it while I wait for people to come in! I'm helpin' Zam today 'cuz they're not feelin' good.
no subject
[ He hasn't met them, but the name is vaguely familiar. Most likely, he's seen or heard about them over the network at some point. Wash's brow furrows slightly, trying to figure out what that has to do with a kid sitting around the Ingress, but then he remembers--it's one of the jobs around here. ]
First Impressions? [ A beat. ] And they asked you to cover for them?
[ It's a bit critical because he doubts new arrivals will want to be shown around by a child, but at least he hasn't tried actually kicking Frisk out yet? ]
(no subject)
(no subject)
C
[The familiar voice comes from behind them, a few feet back from one of the test games. Alphys is still dressed in a bathing suit, but she's got a wispy cover-up on over it. It hangs off her chubby frame like a pillow case.
Adjusting her glasses once she has the human's attention, she draws closer, grinning.]
I-It's c-cool to see you here! I didn't know you liked games. [but as soon as she says it, she stops.] .....W-Well, I guess you did want to play one with me when we f-first ran into each other on this ship. Ha, ha.
no subject
"A' course I do! Who doesn't like games?" They laugh with good nature and scoot over a little to let Alphys get at the second controller--this one happens to be a racing simulator, and Frisk is already setting up a new match for them both. "C'mon, join in!"
no subject
Even as she asks, she accepts the controller and passively watches the human pick a course. Racing games aren't really her thing - they're too stressful. And they never really grab her attention, at least not in the same way Mew Mew Kissy Cutie did. They could use some emotionally complex characters.
"How do I play?" she asks, looking down at the controller. "Which button is the acceleration? This one? The thumb, right?"

It's fascinating.
Even though he's still peeved about not being able to buy weapons.
He runs into Frisk in a game shop as he's glancing around at the complicated consoles. He gives them a friendly nod.]
You getting this stuff for the room?
[Because hell yes Liquid wants games.]
no subject
B. Tidepool
Ratchet crouches near the edge of a tide pool, watching Frisk quietly for a long moment without interrupting their hunt. ]
Find anything good?
no subject
[Frisk looks up and grins at Ratchet, beckoning him over. The pool itself is wide, but shallow, and the water only comes up to Frisk's knees.]
C'mere! You ever touched a starfish b'fore?
no subject
Uh, no. I don't think I have. [He hasn't moved any closer.] What is it?

Five-minute break?

Coming to a pause next to a kid bobbing in an inter tube, Jacky watched them for a moment before speaking up.] You alright? You're a bit far from shore.
[Truth told, Jacky's a little nervous. She's seen people swim in the pool, but she still can't shake the fact that in her time, it's a pretty rare thing to be able to swim.]
no subject
Naw, I'm okay! I can still see Mom on th' beach. [...well, given Toriel is a 6+ foot fuzzy goat monster it's a bit hard to MISS her, even this far out...]

A.
[Wow, you're cheerful. And small.
And he was kind of busy blowing up a disco bar just a microsecond ago, so this is a lot of new input.]
Greetings! [When in doubt, smile.]
I do not experience vertigo, no.
...Identify.
[Program?]
no subject
Huh? Um, My name's Frisk. [Normally they'd stop there, but they remember a bit of what the Grid is like. And there's little doubt with Clu's outfit where he's from.] I help out with gettin' people took care of when th' Ingress grabs 'em. Um, we dunno why it's takin' us all, but we're tryin' t' get everyone home!
[Was that enough? They think it should be...]
