"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.

[Well, 'wooing' might be a strong word for it. Luke is coming to believe that all the games are rigged on the boardwalk, so he's doing his best to make sure everyone gets the prizes they want despite that.]

[Also, as previously mentioned, he's a showoff.]

[Luke hands the teddy off to his captive audience, apparently unaware of the expression she's making. He's all smiles.]
Here! I hope you like it.
gentlemenpreferblondes: (They never did seem to mind at all)

[personal profile] gentlemenpreferblondes 2016-06-03 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[At first J just stares at the offered Teddy bear without moving a muscle. After an awkward and uncomfortable pause, she hesitantly reaches to take the toy. She presses her lips into a disapproving thin line as she continues to look at the offending bear.

Then she looks up back to Luke and takes off her sunglasses, revealing sharp green eyes that are fixed upon on him. Yeah, she's not happy with the gift.]
t65: (i definitely know what im doing rn.)

[personal profile] t65 2016-06-06 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Luke cocks his head like a confused dog. He scratches his head.]

Uh, miss? Is everything alright? [What if buying gifts for people is rude on her planet? What has he done.]
gentlemenpreferblondes: (I've stocked my heart)

[personal profile] gentlemenpreferblondes 2016-06-07 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[She stays still for another moment and stares at him, lips twitching downwards. Then she blows out air, huffing in frustration and throws teddy back at him.

How dense can he be? Even Peter would've caught on by now about what's wrong here and he's hardly the sharpest guy around. J reaches for her MID, opens it and begins to type a message.]


its horrible
t65: (one day i will use them)

[personal profile] t65 2016-06-07 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, you- [Haven't got a voice. He stares, frowning, at the message. Cheery-- ot at least, attempting gregariousness-- to the end, he laughs at himself and scratches his head.] Well, I'm sorry! I thought it was the one you wanted. Maybe we can trade it in...?
gentlemenpreferblondes: (And I mean to care for no one)

[personal profile] gentlemenpreferblondes 2016-06-07 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, thank you for catching up on that, she thinks to herself, rolling her eyes quickly. This is reason why you ask a girl what she wants before making any assumptions and acting up on them.

But his suggestion doesn't sound too bad. At least he's trying to make up for his mistake. Calming down a little bit, J steps forward to look at the wall where all the prizes are.]
t65: (god he misses r2 so much)

[personal profile] t65 2016-06-07 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[With a little shrug, Luke follows along nicely. This woman isn't very nice, is she?]

[Still, he's trying to make up for it.]
Sorry, I guess I should have asked first. I know this one's a little... funny looking, [far be it from him to insult a stuffed animal,] but who knows, maybe that kind of thing's popular on your planet. The galaxy's a huge place.

[So, yes, rambling to fill the silence.]
gentlemenpreferblondes: (Default)

[personal profile] gentlemenpreferblondes 2016-06-08 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[The rambling doesn't bother her that much, after all that seemed to everyone's first reaction when they learned about her 'condition.' No doubt to make themselves feel less awkward.

Knitting her brows J looks at the toys sitting in a row, finding all of them to be rather poor taste. She eventually points at another teddy bear. She didn't appreciate the bloody appearance but at least it look deformed.]
t65: (nobody)

[personal profile] t65 2016-06-09 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, well that's... cute. [Luke cocks his head to the side. What is it? Oh, well, it hardly matters. It could be normal on her planet, who knows.]

[He asks the booth attendant to trade, and the attendant refuses. Luke begins to argue, before sighing, and turning back to J. He holds a finger up to his lips, the universal signal for don't tell anyone.]

[Oh, the irony.]

[He waves at the attendant, and speaks,]
You'll let me trade the toys. [The attendant repeats him in dull monotone, and just as they said, lets Luke trade the bears.]
gentlemenpreferblondes: (And gives expensive jewels)

[personal profile] gentlemenpreferblondes 2016-06-11 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[With that hesitating comment about the toy's appearance he earns a quick glare from J. Really, he has no room to criticise her taste in toys after getting her such ah abomination. But nevertheless, she let's it slide and watches him talk with the booth attendant. When the conversations turns into an argument, she rolls her eyes behind his back all ready pull him away because it's not worth it to start a fight over some crappy toy.

But then he turns to look back at her and something unexpected happens.

The harsh, dissatisfied expressions changes into more surprised and curios one as the attendant all of the sudden agrees to do as he says and hands over other bear.]
t65: (he can't ask any of his 4 mentors)

[personal profile] t65 2016-06-12 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[eyyy.]
