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.

New people been showing up once a month, almost like clockwork. You guys, though? Weren't due for another two weeks.

[ But hell, at least he'd gotten a good brawl out of it. Majima smiled a little at the memory. ]

So what's yer poison of choice? Beer, vodka, mezcal? Got a pretty good selection here, believe it or not.

[ He shook his head. ]

I'm fine. All this red stuff's just dust from from the storm. What about you and Yuuri? You both holed up okay?

[ The whole reason he was still out, actually -- checking on a few others. ]
kiljoy: (aka understanding)

[personal profile] kiljoy 2018-03-29 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I think we all do. I was going to ask you the same thing.

[Surely he would have noticed a man with retractable claws before, right? He glances up, examining his face. Nope, never seen him before. Another newcomer?]
kiljoy: (aka concerned for you)

[personal profile] kiljoy 2018-03-29 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head.] Not really. But when there's this dust about, there's trouble. Come inside.

[He opens the door for her, squinting through the rain and the dust. Or mud, more like, in this weather. Not pleasant.]

[She gave a little jump when he spoke up, and she realized that she wasn't alone. Being in a house full of strangers was unique in a way that Shuri both enjoyed and felt uncomfortable with. She missed Wakanda and her family, but also treasured the chance to get to do things without a watchful eye hovering over her.

The only reason she was up so early was that she had plans of getting to the hospital to try and gain some equipment to use. Being called out on being up early made her make a tch sound that was more amused than exasperated, and she gave him a confident grin.
]

Just because I am young does not mean I like to sleep in.

[The early bird catches the worm and all that.

Instead of just standing to speak with him she went to look for a cup and some water. She wasn't about to assume that the tea he was making was for her, although she did give it a curious glance.

[Of all the people she's expecting to see her, he's not one of them. But really, she's glad that he is. She's breathing heavily due to fighting and running, and the shock at seeing him leaves her staring up for a second. But she's quick to nod, knowing that time cannot be wasted when this other man is so aggressive. Already, he's attempting to turn and strike again. Any pain that might be registering with the way his arm is twisted isn't slowing him down, and that makes Shuri worry.]

I'm fine, Sergeant Barnes. But this man is not.

[As much as she doesn't like the idea of killing him, he's too much like a rabid animal. It's something that must be done.]
flyguy: (do it)

[Well. He doesn't see any fire damage around the place. So it probably wasn't someone from AIM. Maybe. That still leaves the Ten Rings, Vanko, Obie, Ultron, Steve, any of Steve's team, HYDRA, the Chitauri, Loki— christ, he needs to be fighting with less people.

After a momentary look of confusion he manages to throw out:]

I'm assuming they weren't asking with murder in their eyes. Did they leave their name?

[The devices used here are nice to look at but primitive. She's already longing for the system she set up back in Wakanda, but knows that it's only a matter of time before she has her kimoyo beads acting as a functional device that's able to communicate within the network. So she's patient, even as she takes her time to pull out her device to communicate.

She sees the words and looks his way, eyebrows arching to mimic his as she sees the way he's looking at her.

Maybe she shouldn't be surprised that Tony Stark is here. It concerns her on some level that they've both managed to be pulled into a place like this.
]

It is good to see you, Mr. Stark.

[There's a little smile, before Shuri sets aside her device to get back to work. Hopefully she doesn't creep him out by knowing his name and being formal, but she's polite to strangers some of the time. ]

[Shuri hears a male voice. It doesn't sound that much older than her friends back in Wakanda. It puts him roughly at her own age, give or take. Her heart is already racing, but it lurches and drops when she realizes that someone else is involved in this. Running is no longer an option. She turns and moves back toward her attacker and the boy that's trying to help her. He's laying back in the sand and she frowns, making quick work out of crouching at his side. He's bene punched, but will be fine.

Channeling what Nakia or Okoye might do, Shuri picks herself up and places her foot against the man's throat. It isn't in her nature to kill, and she knows her brother wouldn't want her to do it. Her mother wants to keep her safe and would tell her to choose to be gentle. But she knows that T'Challa did not get where he is today by being gentle. Following his heart and remaining passive is what nearly got him killed. A gentle heart makes a kind person, and it is hard for a kind person to survive in these circumstances. Her foot presses more firmly against the man's throat.

Nakia would kill him. But Shuri is not Nakia.
]

Is there a way to restrain him?

[She calls out to the boy, not looking away from her attacker. He's starting to lose the edge of being dazed, and is starting to thrash and ready himself to knock her off balance.]
kiljoy: (aka we're inevitable)

[personal profile] kiljoy 2018-03-29 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Acting? No acting involved here. He shakes his head and moves around to lean against the wall surrounding the fountain.]

Stop acting like you don't.

[He pats the wall beside him. Doesn't she want to chat?]

[Faith is outside wandering too. She is actually in search of a blonde just not the one she finds. She's mulling around with the idea of going to see Kara. Track her down. To actually talk to her. And god, why the hell she wants to do that is beyond her. But the desire is still there, like a dull ever present ache.

But something causes her to slow to look at Caroline as she passes. It's not that she's familiar. It's that she feels something familiar there but she can't quite place it.]




[[ooc: is it alright if Faith can tell she's a vampire or not? Slayers can sense them. Otherwise, I'll just chalk up the familiarity to the lightning and Faith being a weirdo. ;) ]]

[Shuri stops when she doesn't hear footsteps. The dust storm is thick, and the swirl of red makes everything look as if it's a literal bloodbath. She's covered in it, enough so that her vision is slightly blurred thanks to irritated eyes. But she knows enough to know when a body has fallen. Her attacker is down, and standing behind him is a girl that can't be that far off from her own age.]

Be careful!

[She warns, though it likely isn't needed. Anyone that can use a sword this way doesn't need to be told to be careful. Shuri watches the man struggle to pull himself forward. It reminds her too much of her brother struggling to get away from their cousin after being injured and Shuri has to close her eyes and look away. ]

I ain't died yet myself, so I can't say for certain. But that's what people who've gotten wrecked by one of those things tell ya.

[ He folded a small sheaf of leaves into one of the drawers. ]

Don't know if it's somethin' about the Sound Eaters themselves, or the Reset Room.
sunflowering: (Crap what do I say now?)

[Yuuki hasn't been in Reims long, but there are a couple of things she's come to learn in her short stay so far. The dust never brings with it anything good. And it's always unpredictable and unsafe. Patrol is part of her job in the city and she takes it seriously, even in unpleasant conditions. She feels responsible... if not somewhat drawn to searching for others who might be wandering the streets.

It's not exactly safe for people to wander around, especially at night. Not when many here are human. Beneath a cloak, with the hood pulled up and partially wrapped around her face to help keep the dust from her mouth and nose, she searches the streets for anyone who might be outside. There's a number of people within the town and she hardly knows anyone's names, but she's aware that new arrivals suddenly appeared, and so she'd like to ensure that everyone is informed and keeping it safe.

When she comes across someone, a pretty girl, young in appearance, Yuuki lifts a hand up with a friendly greeting as she approaches and pulls out her device.]


It's been pretty dangerous out here lately. Are you all right to be out here on your own?
flyguy: (Should be better)

[personal profile] flyguy 2018-03-29 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well it's a quick jaunt over to one of the apartment buildigs and up a flight or two before one of the apartment doors opens on its own. Of course it does. It's Tony's apartment. Inside is...

There's a lot of metal, old appliances, tools, tool boxes, basically this is Hoarders. The couch and one of the dining table chairs are open though? It's something. When the door closes itself Tony turns to Thor.]

Okay. What happened. You look like you've been through a blender and the blender won.

( there's a careful study of his movements, eyes watching each step he takes before he's with her. his gesture, though she gives no indication of it, is appreciated, given that it's communication without using the strange device. though she can at least type on it it's not her favourite method of communicating.

vanessa gives a nod to his question, letting a few seconds pass before starting to walk. she didn't know where to go but perhaps they didn't need to go anywhere specifically.

for as easy as being quiet was, vanessa didn't often need to speak, she didn't know the people here, being unable to rather than choosing to remain quiet highlighted the stark contrast. the lack of freedom, the pressure. as simple as it was sometimes it could feel unpleasant. at least, from her brief impression, he didn't seem to mind being quiet either )

[ She hadn't slept well. Visions of red running down her hands, a ledger she can never truly erase. When the sun rises, she rises with it, frowning at the carpet she's slept on. On today's to do list: find at least a pillow. She's slept on (and in) worse, but that doesn't mean she wants to continue to do it.

She's sitting against the wall, legs folded underneath her, device in her hand as she scrolls through the network. Spotting the movement out of the top of her vision, Natasha looks up, eyes growing wide though her smile does as well. She lifts her hand in wave, raises her device to type: ]


Thor! It's been a while.

[ The knife in her hand dissolves with the body, and the lull gives her time to catch her breath. Natasha pushes her hair out of her face, turning to look at Barnes over her shoulder. He's not instantly attempting to kill her — a first, really — but she doesn't know how he feels about the last time they saw one another. They were on opposite sides, and while she had let he and Steve go it didn't change the fact she'd started out on the other side.

So she's wary as she responds, not quite turning to face him. ]


No, I don't. [ She tilts her chin up, raising an eyebrow. ] Did you just wake up here, too?

[ Oh, sure. It was going to be a bitch to get this mud out of his suit. But right here, right now, Majima was too exhilarated to care. ]

Don't talk like this's gonna be the last time.

[ God, if it was, what a fucking downer. The last one on Majima's side went down, gushing red dust out of the side of his neck. Only when the figure fell to its knees did it disintegrate, just like the rest.

Majima wiped his blade clean on his suit jacket; rain ran down the cutting edge. ]


Gonna head back?

You mean something like Paranormal State?
Aliens exist. Why not ghosts.

[Unfortunately for Jupiter, the person she's decided to run into is, well, mostly made of metal and exceptionally sturdy.

Thankfully, A2 is also not a huge jerk! And this one is a face she's yet to see, and in light of recent developments...

A2 grabs her own communicator, typing out her own text.
]

It's fine. Are you okay? I'm not exactly the softest person to run into.

[Look. Arya's prides herself on not being a typical lady or someone who pays much mind to attractive men. But she's still a teenager and she sometimes can't help how her reactions betray her. There also seems to be something pushing her more emotional side forward this evening. So when she sees a tall, muscular man approaching her she can't help but feel her face heat. Oh, seven hells, is she blushing? What is happening right now!?

She manages a small wave back, not sure what to do after that other than stare at his arms.]

[personal profile] vdova 2018-03-29 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She whirls to look at him and in the same momentum strikes one of her attackers in the nose with her elbow. She feels it collapse under the fabric of her jacket, but pays it no mind. She's too busy staring at the guy in the tux just casually strolling through the carnage like it was no big deal.

She turns to follow his gaze for a brief moment, and then turns back to him. ]
What's at the town center?
