Singularity Beyond
Why the hell did you drink so much on the way here?
It is common knowledge throughout the galaxy that space travel of any sort evolves into a strenuous and tedious affair; this is the sole driving purpose behind both the conception of unconscious/ stasis travel, and the passing of the Space Intoxicant Act of 5000AD, authorising the consumption of copious amounts of liquor while between planets. Such and act is seen as a holy grail to many travelers, as long as your pilot, auto or organic, is not a drinker him/her/itself.
Sadly for you, your captain was.
"Alright, Kiddies- the flights over" The Captain bellowed through the speakers, cutting through your blissful abyss with a voice like barbed wire. Her words seemed slightly slurred, a factor only rivaled in unnerving-ness by her seemingly aggravated state- this was a woman who hated her job, and cut corners accordingly "Hate to ruin your fun, but that means playtime's over too. To those of ya who are still asleep- hurry up and wake your asses up. For those of you loaded enough to afford stasis- your electric shock alarm clocks will be activating shortly- so I advise that you wake your asses up soon too" Her tone shifted from a lazy mumble to a butter disgust; it was as if the worlds had turned to lemon juice on her tongue "As for you precious little pixies in the lounge area- you know who you are- get the hell off my ship! Grab a Sob-O-Pill and go- if you damn drunks think you can play your stupid parlour games someplace else!" Her chalky voice trailed off for a moment, undoubtedly as another sip of whisky met her lips
"Need I remind you all..." Se continued "That you have been flying with Meridoon Airlines, the Premier in Space Travel etc. etc., and- for those of you naive enough to think that my bosses will give a damn about what you write in your staff review forms- your Captain's name has been Huragran Ail. For you loungers who are too damn drunk to remember your destination, you're about to depart onto Galactic Cross-Over Station 6, the 'Premier' intergalactic space port...knowing you ponces you probably alllll have tickets to that damn 'Heart of Gold show or some..." The message cut short, and a finger in the cockpit had abruptly slammed down against the comm button, playing only static.
Captain Ail's words had rang true- you were, of course, departing her Star Galactic Cruises "The Hyena" (licensed by Spec Co., previously granted 3 stars onSpaceHotels.Org due to 'Rude Staff) bound for Galactic Cross over 6. Every passenger has a ticket on his or her person, granting them assess not only to the Maiden Voyage of the Heart of Gold (A famous Cruiser with facilities to die for, rated 6/5 stars on SpaceHotels.Org due to it being "Perfect in every way") but also all of the amenities on the Cross over. Whether you're a hitchhiker, a lounger, a stasis traveler or otherwise, you will all have received a ticket, regardless of whether or not you remember actually buying one.
The passengers all migrate to the docking bay, only to be greeted by the stench of whisky, oil and several carrier droids guiding you through the well lite tunnel. The droids seem to carry your luggage (if your brought any) off to an unknown area to you right, concealed by an array of flashing lights and wiring noises, guarded by two burly human males. Further onward, the end of the tunnel can be seen, it's blast doors lowered, revealing the lobby of Cross-Over. A nearby board describes 3 possible paths-
The first is labeled "Luggage and Departures", which, as one might expect, contains your luggage, and leads to the departures area. If you choose not to collect your possessions, they will simply be moved onto the Heart of Gold's cargo area for inspection, before being placed on the Cruiser for you once your ticket is presented
The second is labeled "The VIP Lounge", and area much like the lounge of the Hyena, only far, far better kept. It's an exclusive bar for the elite of the elite, and is only open to those who present their tickets to the 7.1 foot green-scaled bouncer at the door. Once inside, feel free to hang out with your future crew mates, irresponsible rich kids and out-of-your-league models
The third is label "Entertainment and Reenactments", the one stop shop for anyone who's a fan of entertainment or Reenactments. In this area, the lives and times of famous multiversal figures are retold on glorious high definition by well trained Shakespearean actors...who have not been fact checked. Be prepared for incredibly bias performances and comedic historical errors.
Current Shows-
Keeping up with the Crichtons- A Rom-Com based around the Life of everyone's favourite property damaged
Inspector SPECTRE- A Tragedy-Crime Thriller about the persecution of charity organisation SPECTRE at the hands of the vicious gang called the 'Serenity'
---
Alternatively, the ticket holders could contact the managers of the Hyena, and complain about the poor staffing, possibly lowering the Cruiser's rating on SpaceHotels.Orga little, or confront the Captain Directly
So which category do you come under? Drinker Lounge ready to take his or her Son-O-Pill, Rich Stasis-Traveler, or Hitchhiking scoundrel?
The decision is yours- please enjoy/survive your stay!

Welcome to Singularity Beyond, the all-new Singularity Multiversal RP!
Time to lay down some ground rules:
1. Be merciful on the GMs and each other.
2. No Meta-Gaming.
3. OC Discussion is up here in the Singularity Group:
https://www.iwakuroleplay.com/groupdiscussions/singularity.59/
4. Have fun (yes, that's a rule).
As part of the Singularityverse, Beyond is part of a shared universe, but it's pretty standalone in its own right. For those interested in the timeline of our previous works, look here:
