Event Horizon a panfandom sci-fi & mecha-suit rp Opening this October
"The artificial gravity is pretty tiring if you're not used to it, but it'll be okay," your guide says, and she seems nice in a sterile, rehearsed, almost inhuman kind of way. The year is 2214, she says. "You've missed a lot of human progress."
Mankind has left Earth, or is desperately trying to do so. The events of World War III have rendered the planet not impossible to navigate, but certainly unfriendly to human life. She tells you that at best, the home world has ten years left of supporting life. Not quite enough time to get everyone to Alpha Centauri, but it'll do. From the look on her face, she doesn't seem surprised that you're confused by the bit about Alpha Centauri, she also tells you it's okay if you need to throw up, it happens to some people.
She leads you to a room as cold and sterile as she is. It's alternately too dark and too bright, depending on how she adjusts the light. Either way, it hurts your eyes to try and focus on anything for too long which would matter if the room were much to look at. As it happens, though, it's not. Little decoration, not build of comfort; no frills, Spartan. The air pressure and gravity make it hard for you to care.
"Rest up," she tells you, and says that tomorrow you'll be tested for your Argonaut Aptitude and Compatibility, whatever that means. "If you're lucky," she says, and there's something less clinical, less sterile about her this time. The way she says it does actually kind of make you want to throw up. "If you're lucky, you've just been drafted into a war."
