Podpop
[Instructions: Post your character with one post establishing them as being podpopped. Tag each other in groups of 2's, 3's, and 4's, to get some interaction to start with. If a thread doesn't already have 2 or 3 people tagged in, tag it with your character's podpop popping near the other people, rather than making a new subthread. If you would

As he spilled out of the pod, naked and bewildered, he at least managed to realize that this was a place he'd never seen before in his entire life. This was not Alternia, this was not the Veil, the people he'd been with only seconds ago were not in the immediate vicinity, and there was a voice.
Karkat Vantas was having a terrible, horrible, no good very bad day. And when Karkat Vantas had terrible, horrible, no good very bad days, he tended to react in a terrible, horrible, no good very bad manner.
"WHAT THE FUCK."

He's whimpering about being covered in the goop and looking puzzled at you.

The whole "falling naked out of a pod of slime" thing would probably have gone a little smoother if he hadn't been pulled straight from a mental breakdown in-progress. The sound of its whimpers were startling enough to buckle Karkat's knees and keel him over into the puddle of slime.
"AUGH. GOD."

However, it seemed to be distressed as much as Rex was - moreso, even. There's another whimper, this one of concern as he prodded at Karkat with his snout.

Oh well, whatever. Raz was busy shaking the goop out of his hair, and noticed that he was lacking his pilot helmt and goggles. And also his backpack. Uh oh.
"Eeewww!!" Except wait more importantly this stuff was kind of gross. And it was kind of smelling weird in here. Don't mind him as he stumbling around and making faces and eeewww get this stuff off ew ew. If only he had some kind of Psychic-Bathing Merit Badge. And who was this big psychic lady talking to him?

As it was, the sound of "ewwww!" nearby gave her pause. At least the goop itself was easier for her to get off--because as soon as she'd left the "comfort" of the pod, it had started to freeze with contact to her skin. At least that would give her a slight semblance of modesty and hide the worst of the scarring on her body.
The cavern she was in was definitely large, but it lacked the characteristics of Deepholm. There were no large, jutting chunks of crystal and earth, just unending rows of pods, some which had opened and divested themselves of their contents. And the source of the ewws--a human boy--was the one closest to her.

In other words, flat on her back. The pods were not quite as adept at handling quadrepeds (or, technically, hexapeds) as they believed.

"I didn't know they had added a new Champion to the roster." Ahri spoke warmly as she got closer, kneeling in front of the pony.
"It seems like a silly question, but besides being on the ground, are you alright?" And why did she seemed delightfully appetizing? It must be the colors!

She'd just looked up, only to find herself looking at someone that was not a pony at all! Rainbow backed up a couple of steps, head lowered as she pawed at the ground. "Who are you? WHAT are you? And where is this?!"

The most pressing matter, of course, is the one where he was being consumed by the other Greeed's medals from within and turning into something. But that's stopped happening. There's definitely some of the others' medals still there, but it's a significantly smaller amount.
The last thing he remembered before this was asking for help. He's not sure hwow to feel about actually getting it, at least in this strange form.
"..who did this?"
And then there was a voice reverberating through his medals.

Abbey was glad to find someone else she could see, it'd been lonely being, well, alone. But there was one complication as she rounded one of the pods into view.
"Also took clothes."

When Uva's actually paying attention, he squints. Didn't humans usually come in.. a slightly different color of monochrome?
"I heard. You one of those 'others'?"
The amount of cares Uva gives about clothes is fairly near to zero, even if his usual green leather jacket is pretty awesome.

She takes a moment to lift up her hair. It's ridiculously hot in this place... Hard to breathe when one is used to subzero temperatures.
"Was hoping you would have more answers. I've never heard of ship like this."

Falling was something he was quite good at, it seemed.
This sudden impact shook his consciousness from off to on, and his eyes shot open and he coughed. It was like a bad nightmare... Only he was totally not waking up anywhere familiar to him. He was on the floor, in a bed of slime that didn't smell quite right, and neither did the air around him...
Tavros pushes himself up with his hands, noticing the strange sensation of being without any clothes sticking to his body. Of course, he looks down and it is just as he suspected: he's naked, and this place is weirdly lit and not his respite block in any capacity. The fudge-blood blinked, rubbing his eyes and wiping some of the slime from his face before he noticed a pair of distinctly curving horns not too far off from his location ( ... )

"Tav?" he voiced to the green blurs, head twisting about slowly to see if he couldn't focus on a Tavros-shaped fixture. "Is that you?" Now that he realized it, there were all kinds of weird anthropomorphic creatures clamoring about and then some, but he didn't pay those observations much thought because he found his best bro.
The painted troll broke into a grin. "Heyyyy bro, what's being all the reason why you're calling me this way? Why are we so over here... auh."
And then he collided with a hard, intriguing reality.
"And motherfuck, where all are your clothes at?"
Not that there was any problem with it. Giggity

"That, sorry, I don't know," Tavros stuttered, sort of not wanting to talk about his lack of clothes. Or Gamzee's, for that matter. It was sort of awkward. "Just... where are we?"
