Event start!
[The usual captain's announcement is preceeded by a quite noticeable rattle throughtout the entire station, followed by several minutes of pitch dark, before the emergency lighting kicks on. It's a few minutes more before the captain's squeaky voices can be heard over the intercom:]
["...Technical difficulties my long curly tail! I want to know who thought it would be a brilliant idea to pilot us straight through a star, and I want them fired! Why are you...?"
There is a moment of silence as the speaker realizes it's being broadcast. Then, it starts to address the intercom proper:]
Don't panic! The Improbability Drive is functioning normally! We seem to have had a slight technical miscalculation which, we assure you, will be corrected as soon as the source is located. In the mean time, please try to stay cool, mind the mosquitos, and watch out for the space lions!
[The ":D" is almost audible at the end of the captain's warning, aaaaaand the the intercom clicks off]
OOC Info:
Welcome to the Jungle!
Mood music can be found here.
So, the Thor's been a bit irresponsible with its electricity usage and the ship is in the middle of a brown out! That means that all of that comfortable temperatures you're all used to have just leapt into the high 90 degrees, complete with a humidity index of 90 percent. That's right, you're practically breathing water. In fact, it's so humid, that the condensation and water evaporating all over the place have given rise to spontaneous thunderstorms (read: monsoons) and that, in turn, has sped up the natural growth of the Thor's foliage! It's, quite literally, a jungle out there, and with the power out, the emergency lights are all that's there to light your way. It's not all bad, though! There will be plenty of vines to swing from, plenty of flowers to pick for your Special Someone, and plenty of vicious jungle insects to swat! Loincloths are optional, but strongly advised.
Oh, and watch out for the space lions. Contrary to the song, they're not sleeping.
What are space lions, you ask?
They're lions with jetpacks.
There are, of course, areas of the Thor that are mysteriously unaffected by the strange jungle phenomena, and where the air conditioning and lighting are still functioning properly, as usual, if you'd prefer to opt out of the event.
POINTS OF INTEREST:
×) The event will conclude late in the evening on Friday, July 1st.
×) The Room Upgrade & Promotions post will be up in the OOC Comm Tuesday, June 28th (Tomorrow)
×) Don't forget to post your June Activity!
Now go forth and have fun! :D
