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.

[He has a nice smile. She can't help it, the draw to reach out and just touch him is too strong. Fingers tentatively grazing his hand. It's presumptuous and she can't really say what's overcome her.

While she's no killer, she's hardly any kind of saint. She's still full of anger about a lot of things and she's not the endless optimist like Charles is. But she is overall, a good person. Raven opens her mouth nearly about to laugh before shutting her mouth again.]
I can't make any promises. I'm walking trouble.

Yeah, well, if I'm not back in ten minutes, you can leave if you want to.

[ But based on what Logan's seen outside -- and how many people he'd taken to shelter not knowing whether they'd be taken care of or not -- he's sure he'll be back here in at most seven.

He's moving some of the sandbags to use as cushioning on the floor. Things for elevation, too, if that's necessary. Each movement is methodical and quick; in Logan's one-track mind, he's got to finish this before he goes back out. ]


I owe you one. [ Looking up, he meets the man's gaze. ] Shit, I owe you fifty. If you survive this, find me after and I'll do whatever the hell you want.

My name's Logan.

arriving - lemme know if this good!

[personal profile] criticality 2018-03-31 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's too much going on to be every where at once. He had to trust that his fellow arrivals could hold their own. And do it peacefully. That was his hope, even he knew it was a highly foolish one. He is intervening anywhere he can, but one particular scrap catches his attention over the din. She is brutally attacking the man, which he could understand self-defence. But this was beyond that. She was brutalizing him. Blood everywhere. He can barely get out a cry before he's over to her, grabbing her wrist. Her movement jerks him forward a little. She is a lot stronger than she looks. He digs his heels into the ground and uses his weight to stop her swinging. ]

Stop! You're killing him.

[ His voice would be measured and calm if he didn't have to shout to be heard over the rain. ]

What the hell...

[ Oh, great. Maybe this joker was just trying to take out the smaller one first, or maybe he just had it in for Jupiter... but either way, it looked like he wasn't taking the hint. Majima took the moment of respite and held the bat out to her. ]

Here, just in case. Use it to block if you can't swing it, at least it's somethin'. There's a hospital should be down this way; we can make it there and lock the doors.

[ He started forward, eye on Jupiter's attacker to make sure he wasn't in a state to catch up with them. ]

[When she sees the small figure again, she clasps her shield to her back and strides towards it. Once his arms are around her waist, she places one on the top of his head, the other at his back, holding him for just a moment. It had been so long since she'd seen him--when had he returned? Where had he gone? But there is no time for those questions now. She smiles down at him, giving an affirming nod.]

I'm fine, don't worry. He could not hurt me. [Even not at her full strength, she's certain of that.] I arrived just moments ago. Somehow.

[She frowns, just slightly. There had been the initial pull of the Ingress--but it had changed, been unrecognizable after a bare second. But again, there's no time to ask.

Diana takes his hand, holding it as a lifeline.]


Stay close. There may be more.

[Caroline greets the other woman with a short wave of her own, retrieving her device as the first message comes in. She's still not used to this, talking via text with someone standing right in front of her, even if she's heard the reasoning behind it. It's hard when you've never actually seen the thing you're supposed to be wary of, after all.

They'd made it pretty clear that it wasn't a rule to break, though.]


I'm tougher than I look. Promise.

[She hadn't exactly been able to keep her vampirism the most well-kept secret here already, but considering she'd run into other people who were totally open about their abilities, it didn't seem as necessary.

That said, telling people she drank blood to survive wasn't something she offered upfront, but she figured admitting that she was strong wasn't going to do much harm.]


I could say the same to you, really.

[This girl didn't look much more well built than Caroline did, if she was being honest, but appearances were definitely deceiving.]
voidmage: (and now I got strength in me)

[personal profile] voidmage 2018-03-31 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[So "skedaddled" must mean gone in a different way that "dead" meant.]

the dust is bad

[Did they really need to know more than that?

It isn't Majima in particular that El was wary of - just most adults. She had a good reason for that. In all her life, she's only met a few who were good or nice to her. Now she has a chance to change that but it won't happen overnight.]


eleven [El points to herself afterwards so that he understands she isn't just typing a number but her name.]

[personal profile] list_maker 2018-03-31 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Me too.

My world isn't full of women warriors. They're rare stories. I'm glad I got to see a place like your home.


[It gave her hope and in her life that kind of thing is in short supply.]

[Something in his mind reels at the touch, and he actually flinches away a little at first, but doesn't try to stop the subsequent cleaning, though he's tense.]

I'm fine. But those children are in danger!

[ He is very good at keeping track of who is in the community. He has learnt most of the names of people he frequently sees around, but this man is new. He has yet to see him. He's naturally a little wary. This is the first flood of new arrivals and he's not sure what to expect. Something strange and disorientating, perhaps. But he plasters a silly, good nature smile on his face as a way of greeting. He sets down the yellow sunglasses he has in his one hand to fish out his device to respond. ]

I'm cleaning my glasses. It's been a while since I saw them. Nice to have something from home.

[ After a moment, he types out. ]

Are you new?

[ In the wake of all this shit, Raven's attitude has him cracking a bit of a smile (he's the one with regeneration and she's still got more energy to be human than he does). ] I'll count on it.

[ Then he starts running, stopping every so often to attack anything that gets in his way. Even if Raven told him she'd be able to catch up, he ends up turning back once in a while, his ears pricked as much as they can manage even in the ravaging noise of the storm.

He points towards a shed, then looks back at Raven. ]
I got a guy in there who's been looking over injuries!
lowkeycrazy: (?)

[personal profile] lowkeycrazy 2018-03-31 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[The smile drops off his face, an entirely curious expression overtaking it as he's offered the jar. After a moment, he takes the offered jar, looking down at it, then back up at Noel.]

Oh, yes, I'm fine. Erm... what's this, though?

[He is unaccustomed to receiving gifts???]
justbeingknife: (you're stained black)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-03-31 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ He shook his head. ]

Nah.

Been here 'bout two months now. Maybe a little less.
justbeingknife: (attention)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-03-31 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
He knew there was something wonky with that theater tbh!!

No real preferences, are we NPCing Lamar?

I think I can manage to be an adult about the situation. [ Adrien said, sounding almost prigishly prim, though he was still blushing a bit.

Then she began to shift them around, and really he was enough of an adult that if he had a problem with it he could have stopped her. Instead he moved with her guidance, glad that he'd taken off his boots so he didn't drag footwear onto her bed.

If he was surprised at the way she moved to settle against his chest, he didn't express any tension or concern, merely shifted his arm so she could get comfortable in against his side. That close, she would be able to feel that beneath the jumpsuit he was nothing but hard muscle and bone, any softness from his time on the station had been worn away.

Once she seemed settled, it was just the most natural thing to fold his arm around her shoulders, until his hand rested lightly atop her upper arm. ]


I don't imagine I'm the most comfortable pillow. [ He pointed out. ] This jumpsuit is not made out of the softest of materials.
prorenataa: (prickly hedgie)

[personal profile] prorenataa 2018-03-31 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Adrien. [ He's gotten so much better at this whole name situation. ] Dr. Adrien Arbuckal, but for fuck's sake please just ... Adrien.

[ It took him a moment to pick up on what Logan was doing, but then he moved forward to pitch in and help. ]

Situation like this, keeping people in one piece is not something anyone owes anyone for. Now, make me do this kind of shit when things aren't trying to kill us? Then, you'll owe me.
prorenataa: (oh really)

[personal profile] prorenataa 2018-03-31 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
What? And leave our friendly welcoming committee? [ He sounds almost serious when he says that, looks serious as well, but that gives way to a rueful acknowledgement of her point and he quickly falls in behind her. ]

I honestly thought they'd have cake at least.
prorenataa: dnt (scruffy profile)

[personal profile] prorenataa 2018-03-31 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
What do you call them? [ It was a natural question, at least it felt like a natural question and over the decades Adrien had gotten a little bit better at the art of small talk.

Even if his timing still sort of sucked.

As Finn grasped his fingers and pulled, Adrien gauged that the pull was evenly distributed and that the man did not appear to be favoring either hand, or fingers. ]


I don't feel anything acting like it's broken, but we should probably clean and dress those wounds, least the dust get in there and cause a problem.

[Teddy melts against the boy, his heavy body relaxing, putting more of his weight than usual onto Eddie's leg. The reset room is an almost peaceful place even if most of his visits to him have been a direct result of the deaths that came prior.

He is comfortable, and content to be so close to the boy he could call friend. It was a relationship he had previously thought humans could only have with other humans, and he was enjoying having a friendship of his own. His tail slides happily back and forth along the floor when Eddie gives him a kiss and a pet, and he noses up at Eddie's hand afterward.

The details of his death are still fuzzy as they often are for days after his return, but he assumes this death came the same way as the one before it, so he focuses on that one instead of fighting the confusion to try and remember the most recent death.]


Sound Eaters, I think. Another test must have failed. We will get it, though. I am sure we will. And then we will make this place safer for you and everyone else.
justbeingknife: (huh?)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-03-31 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ He looked visibly surprised. ]

Wait, like Mike's friend Eleven?

Thought you disappeared.

[The feeling of needing to be around someone has been hitting Prompto pretty strongly too, ever since night began to fall. This isn't the first time this has happened since coming here, but he didn't even drink anything this time.

He's walking along the sandpaths, dirty from a day of helping clean, when he sees the other guy approach, texting frantically on his device.

He's starting to get the hang of the sign language, but he pulls out his own device anyway.]

sure. what's up?
voidmage: (but all I want is to be found)

[personal profile] voidmage 2018-03-31 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[It's her turn to look surprised. But then his words come and apparently Mike has been talking about her to other people. She relaxes a little at that - knowing Mike talked to this man about her.]

yes mikes friend eleven

came back


[Though whether El is talking about being here previously or having disappeared back home is a mystery.]

He glances back at the retreating forms of the children, somewhat thankful that he hadn't been assigned her job. He'd enjoyed the time Stark had tricked him into spending with those kids, but he feels too out of sorts to keep that up for long amounts of time.

were you a teacher there, too?

He can't help wondering if their job assignments were based on anything. It seems like a mixed bag, but he at least got something he's capable of doing.

[Raven stares a moment at the hand being held out to her. She supposes it makes sense, so they don't lose one another in the storm. Still... Mystique is not a 'hand holder'. But she ultimately does take it. And they're off. There are a few more attackers on the way, which they make quick work off. They actually make a pretty good team, Raven taking care of anyone coming at them from behind and Kamala dealing with their front.]
lednikovyy: CW (Another night and I'll see you)

[personal profile] lednikovyy 2018-03-31 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, me too.

[ He grins, but he suspects he might be one of the bigger headcases here given all the faulty wiring in his head. One short circuit and he's a few Avengers away from killing anyone in front of him. ]

Not sure if that makes it better or worse.
