MOD LOG #3


Arriving in style
Content Warnings: Fighting, death, violence
Themes: Survival, plot

It's early in the day when it happens. The red dust that seems to be everywhere sweeps through the city streets, mixing with the steady patter of rain and making it hard to see and breathe. All red and leaving the taste of copper if inhaled, what could have been an easy day without any trouble quickly becomes anything but. While those in the community are heading for cover or finding ways to continue on through it, the new arrivals begin waking up in different cities all over the world. There won't be anyone to greet them, and leaving the room through the door is their choice - after doing so, they'll immediately step out into the city they were assigned. The streets are empty, houses abandoned, everything crumbling and in ruins. There will be signs noting their location, which they'll catch a glimpse of before a sharp push forward causes darkness to engulf them.

Waking up for the second time, in Reims but not in the Reset Room, they'll come to inside the red dust as it whips through the streets of the community. They won't be alone for long. Another person will be waking up beside them, and after a few moments of disorientation, try to attack. They might have weapons or use their hands, and they will not stop until they've taken a fatal blow. Their blood is dust, and they, along with their weapons, disintegrate after they've died. Can you stop them on your own? Will someone come to your aid?

The Sight of Lightning
Content Warnings: Poison, sex
Themes: Survival, plot

The day after the storm, the same red dust will find its way through Reims and come into contact with every person. Since the dust is everywhere, some might not notice that it's floating through the community and know that something is off. The effects don't begin until night fall, where everyone will feel the desire to seek out companionship of many different kinds. Though it is not always the case, the people that saw each other in color will "want" to be with that person more strongly than they might already, and will be more likely to confess or do something about it. Some might feel an intense need to be around another person, though not necessarily sexually - almost as if they need that person around them to be happy or content. For some, it might be a desire that can only be fulfilled by more than one person.

The effects wear off the next time the person gets wet. This can be a splash of water across the face or fully submerged. Or even drinking something.

[At first, Diana doesn't realize who she's reached out to. She'd seen a figure moving towards the door of the twelfth house from the inside, and had sent the message before really seeing who it was. Things have been so hectic, she hadn't even realized that Clara was here--something she dearly regrets now. Had she known, perhaps things would have been easier to understand.

Still, she smiles brilliantly at the other woman. She's remarkable, to be sure, and Diana can't help but reach out to place a gentle hand on her shoulder. It is good to see a familiar face, and one she admires so genuinely.]


It has already become a thousand times more so.

[ The good news? If there is any good news to be had in the midst of this insanity, the good news is he's been through enough of situations similar to this that he's not going to argue the point.

There is nothing to be gained by yammering on about who was best suited to take point and who was best suited to cover their flank. Adrien was just going to nod and head in the direction of the shed.

He did give a couple of measured glances back to make sure the man with the claws was following, while simultaneously keeping an eye out for anyone coming out at them from the front of the sides. It would appear they were due a bit of a break as he was able to reach the shed and yank open the door without any impediments. ]


Alright, come on! Before our luck runs out.

Some trip, huh?

It's Gorō Majima. But just Majima's fine. What should I call you?


[ It looked like Caroline had a leg up here. It had taken Majima, a former resident of the 80's, a little while to get up to speed -- as well as to get used to the idea of easily portable phones. With screens, even. ]

[Honestly, this wasn't her first choice of action. She'd tried to talk to the man, tried to get him to tell her why he was doing this. Failing that, she'd tried to restrain him--but had quickly realized that something wasn't quite right. Despite the strongest blow she dared land on a human, he didn't seem to feel it, would not stop trying to kill her. And when she'd finally been less willing to restrain herself and had driven her fist into his face, instead of blood, red sand trickled from his nostrils.

Once Diana realized he was not really a man, she no longer held back.

For a normal man, her blows would have been more than enough to kill. But he would not stop, and her will only became harder the more he swung at her, even as his attacks became more haphazard. Eventually she had been able to reach out and put her hands on either side of his head, giving it a swift twist--

--and he fell, dissolving into the dust that had flooded the streets.

She hears someone call out, and whips around, arm half raised to retrieve her shield from her back. But the man attacking her had not spoken, and this one moves slowly, as if reassuring her that he isn't going to begin an assault. Her eyes hold a wariness that does not come natural to her, but she nods at his question, rubbing her hands together. The dust turns to a red paste in her hands, and she frowns.]


I am. He could not hurt me. [Could not, as opposed to did not. There is a certainty in her voice that leaves no room for wondering.] Did you see where he came from?

[Arya had fully intended to see to her wounds herself. Clean them out and then take a heated piece of metal to them. That's what she would do back home when she wasn't nearby a maester. But then Kara catches her about to press the a piece of burning rebar to her shoulder, she practically drags her to the clinic.

There is a lot of colorful cursing via text, Arya channeling the Hound, until Kara makes it clear where they are going. Fine. She'll go! Arya's got a large gash across her right shoulder from a knife another angry slice on her left thigh. There are a few less serious cuts and bruises. Also a couple broken ribs... oops?]

Your proteges? Could be a challenge.

[ He's doing this more for the kids, now, who he's obviously going to let win at anything they compete in, but he smiles up at Stark. It's getting easier to look at him, but he's not sure if that's really a good thing. He doesn't want to forget what he's done or what he's capable of. ]

I'm feeling like I might be outclassed here.

[ Unfortunately for Majima, typing wasn't something Sasuke was used to. No, he's used to saying what he wants, not writing it out, and there's a moment where he opens his mouth to speak... then thinks better of it and shuts it again. Oh. Yeah. The sound thing. That means he has to use that weird device to write.

This is going to take a while.

On second thought, there really is something he needs to know. ]

[ He's used to a writing style like Japanese where spacing and capitalization is understood, so please bear with him. ]

Nothing in particular. [ He hedged, then stopped and seemed to walk himself back a step, complete with a pink stain spreading across his cheeks. ] Just that, three days in a small tent ...

[ Have an awkward shrug. A little more like the man she'd known back on the station. ]

[ Majima kept the surprise from his expression, but only just barely, and only then because it would have been rude to make some comment about someone who was clearly ravenous.

Silently, he placed a glass of water and half of this week's hearth muffin by the bowl of fruit. From there, he'd devote himself to rearranging some bottles until Maria had enough to slow down a bit. ]


Hope those dust storms ain't going to be a new pattern.

[She frowns giving him a once over. Faith had intended to take him out of the storm and then jump right back into the fray. But he does seem to be able to handle himself...]

Come on, then! Help me find them and we'll get them out!

[ Logan tends to flinch when he's touched without permission. The fact that he doesn't when Lorna does it isn't lost on him, but it matters so little that it fades away as soon as his mind computes it.

He sinks a little in his seat so she has an easier time leaning against him.

Though Logan sees the new message on his device, he finishes two pages before putting the novel down again. Having to type with two hands is absolute bullshit, but he hasn't got a good grasp on sign language yet, even if it's on his list of priorities. ]


If she did he wouldn't have made it as the Count. Love would have trumped revenge.

If you turn the pages for me I can type faster.

[ Hands lift to steady. It's a testament to his own absorption that he'd only noticed her when she was so close.

His focus lifts, attention shifting from surprise to recognition. Clara Oswald. She had been at the Town Hall during the attack, had assisted him in his search through the dust for any signs of Lamar.

Head inclining, he catches the edge of her book, only part of the title visible. ]


The device translates.

[ A pity, really, as he'd enjoy the opportunity to learn. ]

monomachy: megascopes @ dw (blown away)

MY CHILD also some mildly graphic violence in here

[personal profile] monomachy 2018-03-29 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Reasoning with her attacker had brought no end to his swings. The rebar slams again and again against her bracers as she tries to shout reason to him, but to no avail. Diana is slow to become reoriented; between the sand and her lingering weakness from the Ingress memorial, she is not acting as quickly as she should. There's a brief moment, very brief, when she thinks that she could actually be injured in this fight she didn't mean to have.

A short breath escapes her as the bones in her arm seem to vibrate with the force of the next blow. One more, and--

--but the next one doesn't come. At least, it is delayed. She doesn't see the rock until it's already struck the man, making him stumble. But she recognizes the voice, one she hadn't heard in what seems like forever. A voice so close, and a small figure she can barely see for the dust and the rain.

The man turns towards that figure, and a hot burst of strength rushes Diana's veins. With a shout, she leaps forward at the man, tackling him bodily.]


You will not!

[She's atop him, driving a fist into his face. Red sand trickles from his nose and the corner of his mouth, and a realization snaps to mind. He is no human; he is but a creature of this storm, somehow. Her hesitation is gone, and she drives her fist into his face again, feeling his skull crack and splinter beneath her knuckles. Amazons are not quick to anger, but once it is sparked, there is no use trying to quell it. Once she's sure he is down and will stay that way she stands, hands covered in brownish-red mud. Her head whips to the side, searching for the figure again, worry clear in her voice.]

Eddie?!

Okie dokie. So far we've settled on the fact that Lamar will be captured (specifics to be determined but I'm sure it's a safe bet there will be knocks and plenty of bruises) and taken to Jessica Jones' jail where Kylo Ren will interrogating him, while Alex cranks up his fear to make getting through any mental defenses easier.

So, what kind of information would they be able to get out of Lamar during the course of the interrogation?

[Completely unlike him Tony crosses his arms and leans back against the building behind him.]

Win and I'll give you what you really want.

[Annnd of course he has to ruin this. Why? Because in some ways knowing Bucky is here is like having an open wound that can never close until he manufacturers an end.

He knows Bucky must crave forgiveness. So here he is offering it up on a silver platter. What's it going to be: that forgiveness or the kids?]

[Maria empties the bowl and only takes a short break for breathe and water before the muffin is devoured, too. She doesn't have the luxury of dignity, not right now. She'd gone hungry many times during the Hunt's, the workshop wasn't spoiled with wealth like the palace of Cainhurst, but in way she liked the destitution far more than she did excess. The food nearly makes her sick, bubbling her stomach as finished, holding down the desire he body had to hack it all back up again in as much a hurry as she put it down. Ultimately, her constitution and will win out, reaching shakily to polish off her water.

Wiping her face with her palm and fingers, she pulls herself together for conversation. A pattern meant time enough to notice one. Maria swallows heavily before speaking, voice a bit strained.]

Not the usual, is it?

[She may bring it up eventually, but Arya's not quick to turn the conversation to her family. To everything she's lost. Instead she's happy to see Diana. Someone who's alive and not some figment of her imagination.]

I used to dream I was my wolf Nymeria sometimes, but I've never shared a dream with someone else before. Does that happen to you a lot?

Sound is dangerous?

[ With the storm whipping around them (and the red mud slapping into Logan's face and body), it feels kind of stupid to tell him such a thing. Hell, the only reason he hears her and that quiet voice of hers is because his ears are better than normal humans'. ]

The hell are you talking about? [ Still, Logan's voice modulates in response to her question -- not too soft to be unheard, but not loud enough to be unnecessary. He figures it's not safe for them to stay in one spot, so he makes a brief jerking motion with his head and starts walking quickly, trudging through the mud all around them with his claws still unsheathed. ]

[Oh, she saw that blush. It served him right, for always being able to make her blush just by proximity and his presence alone. There was a grin that she shamelessly didn't bother hiding, and it was accompanied by laughter.]

I wouldn't mind. If it makes you uncomfortable though, we don't have to do it.

[They could each carry a pack and sleep in their own. Though it made more sense to just share, she wasn't going to force him into it if he was uncomfortable. She would, however, shift so she was turning on the bed to lie on it fully. Her hand kept hold of his and she pulled him along after him. As soon as he was laying lengthwise she laid at his side, resting her head against his chest. She wasn't sure what it was, really, but she just wanted to be close to him this way. ]

[She fights through what she is certain is a concussion. But she needs to get herself back up, stay alive. But then Adrien is falling to his knees, it's right on top of her. And the landing startles her back to complete alert consciousness.

Grunting, she stares up at him and then cries out.]
Look out! [The man is coming back for more and Raven moves to shove Adrien off and to the side away from the blow. A blow that barely misses her own head. Snarling, blue legs dart out in a show of flexibility to wrap around the man's head and she's lifted up in the air as she repeatedly punches the dust filled man in the head.]

Yeah, but if you always let it translate then you'll never learn. I could teach you.

[She offers with a smile, accompanied with an amused arch of her eyebrows. Learning is something that's important to her, and language is something that she's always having to learn. Sure, having the translation circuit on the TARDIS was a big help. But she hadn't had that in a while now, and she still was doing just fine.

So she feels that she knew enough French to offer a friend lessons. And really, she hopes that he'll take her up on them.

[ It's good for Logan, too. But then, he's the type not to ask for more than what he's given, and it's just a miracle that he's been given precisely what he needs this time.

His breathing evens out, almost deep enough to make it seem like he's sleeping. Eventually he reaches with his opposite hand, the smooth tip of an index finger finding her forearm, and traces LOGAN into her skin.

She at least deserves to know his name. ]

[ As much as Logan doesn't expect the hug, he feels more relieved than he would have felt without it. He's stiff for all of two seconds before he ends up relaxing, and as weird as the man might smell (like a thunderstorm, a little bit), Logan dips his head and rests his chin on a broad shoulder.

He doesn't know every many people who can rival him in height and bulk, but this is one of those moments he doesn't mind being proven wrong.

Turning his head enough to scent at the man's jaw is pretty much Logan's equivalent of hugging a stranger back, but it's better than skewering him for coming out of literally nowhere. ]

[personal profile] danzan 2018-03-29 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ Words surprise him, and Logan's a little too fresh from the kill to react to them with more than a rraarrg! at first. But he catches himself, claws retracting in an attempt to show he means no harm through his actions, and tries not to suspect the worst of the man.

If this guy isn't trying to attack him, then he should be fine for now (Logan is aware this is an incredibly low standard of distinguishing between people, but it's all he can afford in the middle of this panic scenario). ]


You need shelter? [ Anyone who would have "offered to help" must know some fighting, but Logan's got to make sure first. ]
