Coruscant. Walking out into a new old world.
#Day 1. I turned sixteen today, I got a whole blanket to myself and gave it to my sister who looks pale, it stunk a bit because Fluffy used to sit on but now he lives in an old water barrel. We’ve been down here for longer than I can remember in this metal box, our old freighter. Forty of us crammed into this small space, with a cargo hold full of water and boring food cubes. The Jedi says the nexus thingy protects us, my father says that’s all a lot of nonsense. He says the gangs and dangerous creatures of the lower levels kill the killers too, but their battles have been going quiet, running down, just like our food.
Uncle says anything taking off or landing was ripped out of the sky, just like we were, but here something funny keeps them away, or makes finding us hard. You wouldn’t believe who is with us, my girlfriend’s family and mine, the freighter crew, some stowaways, security with doctors that came to our crash site and we took in. Even the trader that sold our food, and my father's old boss, a weird bunch’a of freaks if you ask me. Two guys never woke up from the crash, old doc says there in a deep sleep and might never wake up, kinda lucky if you ask me, going to sleep and not having to sit here all day.
Not today though, today the door came down, we are low on food. The security went out first, and said it’ll be good to stretch their legs. You couldn’t hold us back either, we all wanted to feel what it was like to walk without going around the same halls over and over. Outside it was really dark, not like inside the freighter, but it was weird, there were no walls or ceilings out here to lean against or look at. I started to feel dizzy when I looked up.
We found some maintenance tunnels or something, the Jedi said they went in so many directions that they’ll be hard for the defilers to catch us. That’s what we call the creatures that cause the screams outside. The ship's engineer reckons that the power generators are so loud with such a powerful field, that between them and the nexus we should get some cover there, but we might get ill if we stay too close. Some of the older guys think the old holo-arcade is really really distracting with everything turned on but also can be silent, I think that's a bit dumb. Anything that can be turned on to add to the Nexus cover or is confusing to navigate the Jedi says we should look for, smoke and mirrors he says. He sounds kinda of smart, ah I dunno, we'll see I guess. I am excited but also scared.
Negative Event
A few of us couldn’t walk well, we got really bad headaches and started falling over. Some started to feel ill and it got bad here. I feel faint too, something about the air down here, and being in a box for so long, our balance is off. One of my aunts slipped and hurt herself real bad, broke her hip the doc says, we’ve got to take it really slow and carefully get used to being outside again. We didn’t find any food, and we’ve used up some medical supplies for cuts and bruises from just walking around. It wasn’t a good birthday, a lot of people felt ill and some were crying to be free they said, but I got outside, I just wish my headache would stop. We heard strange noises and we decided to close the door again for another day. Frell it. #Diary End
Rules:
- 1 min roll per post. 3 Max. Multiple rolls are allowed if supplies or a new location is needed to continue.
- The Five Guardians can be sacrificed at any time to reroll a dice. Maxing a value also means a reroll.
- -1 Supplies a Post. 0 Supplies is one character death.
- Bad Chain: On a 1, another D4+1 roll is made for generally terrible things to happen = 2-5.
- Bad Chain On a 2, another D3+2 roll is made for generally bad things to happen = 3-5.
- A call to the outside IC will be made every so often allowing 1 player to send a supply pod and or a message of hope to lift spirits. If 1 player joins instead, the thread will continue there.
- The rolls or difficulty will increase if things go too well. Kas will be put in the pool for lasting injuries if the group gets small.
- Rolls are done offsite, I was spamming Discord too much :D Done here: https://rolz.org/dr?room=coruscant_survivor Rolz has free accounts, or you can make a temporary name with no signup then use the link, or use the dice room name coruscant_survivor. Takes a day or so for the links to propagate to images.
