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.

[Lavi had learned his lesson, pretty much, and stayed tucked away indoors with a book he was in the middle of transcribing for Margo. There was no need for Mister No Balance to go out where the wind could toss him around and he'd be more of a hindrance than a help.

The day after? Well, there's plenty of work for someone in construction to be doing.

He pauses and looks at his device, an amused grin crossing his face.]


Makes a great target, or so I've been told.

arrival #1!!!

[ more than anything, he remembers the fear. the all consuming terror that clung to the inside of his throat. it’d been overwhelming, trying to process what was going on and how, dust and dirt and silence pressing down from every direction.

it’s why he tends to try and step out when he notices new people coming through. he’s not exactly outstanding when it comes to being encouraging, or calming, or really any of that at all - but he can empathize. and for steve, maybe that can be enough. maybe, for those who don’t have the luxury of showing up to people from home knowing what was going on, he could give them something.

except this time around, there’s something off. the way they’re showing up, the violence with it, but also the way that some of these people seem to be attacking the other newcomers. there isn’t a whole lot of time to try and process what is going on, because when he notices a woman reaching down to help another, only to be thrown back, and steve is running, tightening his grip on the handle of his bat. it’s indescribable, how much just having this piece of wood with iron nails makes him feel better, but if anything, it’s a feeling of comfort. of knowing that he could actually, every now and then, fight back.

that’s what he does here, running up behind the feral woman with his grip tight, setting his feet for the half second before he brings the bat down against her back, shoving her into the ground before she’s able to complete the lunge towards the other. the shock earns a second or two of relief, which steve shifts his grip and glances over to the other girl. ]


Let’s go! [ even now, his voice feels a bit foreign and rough, and softer than it probably could be out of habit. but he jerks his head back towards the direction he came, trying to tell the other girl to start, as he keeps his eyes to the body on the ground, bat out and ready, stepping defensively around her.

again, the odd sense of familiarity - as if it was a demagorgon writhing on the ground instead of a woman - almost catches steve off-guard, but he swallows it back, stepping forward just as the woman tries to lunge for the other girl again, this time the nails driving into her shoulder with a sickening punctured noise. ]

[Her lips pull into a thin line as she looks down at the man, puzzled. He has yet to actually say anything, which is concerning. Diana reaches for the lasso at her hip, shaking her head.]

No need, I have some.

[Once her hand touches the lasso, it begins to glow faintly through the storm. She crouches, rope at the ready.]

Release him, and I will bind him. He will not be able to escape.

[Her eyes zero in on that copy of jane erye, okay. It's one of her other favorites. The corner of her lip curls upward, but she doesn't make a comment on it. Instead she gives a little nod of her head and sets her book aside. Talking with Frank is better than reading, as much as she adores both Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy.

She has to glance at her device that's laid out to figure out what he's saying, and it takes her some time to figure out a response she can actually do. But this is good for her, as long as her patience holds out. Practice is always good.
]

Go nowhere.

[She taps at the Atlas and encyclopedias that are sitting at the table, before making a circular gesture with her index finger. It feels like everything is going in circles. So yes, she's taking a break.]

You?

poodlemom: (Too many children)

[personal profile] poodlemom 2018-03-31 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
You are not fine and you are not in a state to help anybody. [Victor is calm, insistently concerned, he holds Akechi by both shoulders with his palms pressed firm. There's not a violent bone in Victor's body so the weak isn't forceful, just sturdy. Calm down, it says, without such infuriating words being spoken.]

Let me get you some water. Go out again when you've settled the cough, alright?
monomachy: buckybear @ ij (fly me to the moon)

[personal profile] monomachy 2018-03-31 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[She settles into a squat beside the river, so she can let her fingers rest on the surface of the water. It feels nice, and brings comfort.]

I would be willing to work on paths, just for the opportunity to visit a museum.

[It would be no real trouble, carrying the sand. The only issue, she thinks, is them having enough of it.]

There was too much stone in London. The buildings too tall.
iisupergirlii: (i don't have time for you)

[personal profile] iisupergirlii 2018-03-31 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[shortly after the path turns left, the sand ends, disappearing into brown mud. the prints continue going, though, and Kara frowns, looking from the trail to Arya. She knows she said they should go back. And they should. It's not safe. But these prints could be important.]

So I know what I said, but... Do you want to fly?
oorah: (☠︎029)

[ frank gets where she's coming from, which is why he doesn't do the research thing. it seems fruitless for much smarter people than him, so he leaves it be. ]

I'm due. [ for a break. he's owed, even if he doesn't think of it that way. ]
poodlemom: (Where's my boy?)

[personal profile] poodlemom 2018-03-31 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, we're both safe. Already here when it started, so we simply bunkered down. [a good thing to have installed heavy, sturdy locks on the doors and windows. He'd still kept the lights on bright, hoping to draw attention of anybody needing shelter. Without combat experiences, he's useless out in the thick of it, but being a light in the darkness was something he could do. He continues to wave away the dust in the air, some catching in his throat to choke a cough or two from him. He clears up to ask]

Please, have a water. It seems to settle the dust, in my experience... [he needs some, that's for certain, he kept a store of fresh water bottles in the main hall for students. It's easy to reach for one and toss it to Majima]
monomachy: oslo @ ij (believer)

[personal profile] monomachy 2018-03-31 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Though Diana wishes to be surprised by that revelation, she isn't. She had been so shocked in London, when Steve and Etta had told her that women never went into battle. On Themyscira, it was just a way of life. And while she'd known that customs would be different outside the island, she hadn't expected them to be that different.]

I'm glad you did, too.

[A brief pause, and she adds:]

And I meant what I said. That I would train you.
poodlemom: (You good soft boy?)

[personal profile] poodlemom 2018-03-31 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Me? What about you!? [he's about as outraged as he is concerned. He's perfectly fine, he's being a coward, but Yuuki seemed like she was out in the thick of it.]

It's safe in here, please, come inside!
lowkeycrazy: (glance)

[personal profile] lowkeycrazy 2018-03-31 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
?!?

[It's not just the fact that he's been given a gift out of the blue, but that... Noel specifically sought him out. Something swells in his chest, and even in this state some part of it instinctively tamps down on it. Surely he must be doing a similar sort of thing for others...

...nevertheless...]


Thank you. Admittedly, I... actually have quite a bit of a sweet tooth. I'll definitely savor these.

[And then something in his brain stutters over the last words belatedly, and he blinks, looking at the man in confusion.]

A pick-me-up, though? Because of yesterday?
iisupergirlii: (just hold on now)

figured I'd re-incorporate a little of it here for fun and profit!

[personal profile] iisupergirlii 2018-03-31 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kara stands, not noticing the torrential downpour for a moment or the dust man, as she stares instead at the golden circle of rope that Diana pulls out. That is one of the prettiest, coolest things she's seen in awhile. And that's when it hits her - the outfit, the rope, the strength -

Kara holds her hands up, not releasing the dust guy yet because she has to ask:]


Wait. Wait, wait, wait, are you a superhero?
iisupergirlii: (surprise)

lightning - better late than never???

[personal profile] iisupergirlii 2018-03-31 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kara is... pacing. She'd started out just as determined, heading out after working to look for Faith. But Reims is getting more and more crowded, and Kara never could find her. And now she's... a little bit keyed up. Not nervous. Faith always makes her nervous, and this is different from that - like a need is bubbling in her to see Faith, to tell her everything, make it crystal clear exactly how she feels for the vampire slayer.

She's just about to go out and try again, march into the night and x-ray every house until she finds her - but when she flings her front door open, there's Faith, standing on her porch, her hand raised to the oil can. Kara freezes, staring at Faith then quickly ushers her inside, closing the door so they can talk.]


Oh my gosh am I glad to see you.
iisupergirlii: (powering up)

arrival (sorry I'm just now getting to this!!!)

[personal profile] iisupergirlii 2018-03-31 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kara is as exhausted as a super-powered Kryptonian can be. Luckily, the rain hasn't let up all day and into the night, because she's gotten more fearless as she fights one red dusted monster after the other. And surely, they're monsters - created from the dust, not human. She hopes they're not because, after she'd destroyed the first one on accident, watched it melt away under the power of the rain, she'd been flitting around from one battle to another, killing as many of the things as she could.

She's burning one with her heat vision, twin lasers burrowing into the monster's chest and carving a hole out of the dust. Once the monster falls, Kara turns to take off when she stumbles into - a human. Or, at least, a person. She shouldn't assume species.]


What are you doing out here? You're going to get hurt!
dapalis: (『 my intuition is right 』)

[personal profile] dapalis 2018-03-31 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's a moment where Yuu makes a bit of a face, trying to remember what that sign language all meant. Only for him to make with typing something out, a hint of pink faintly tinging his cheeks. ]

I just... this might sound weird but. I need to be close to someone right now. could we just hang out or something?
lowkeycrazy: (hesitant)

[personal profile] lowkeycrazy 2018-03-31 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Akechi glances at him, and it isn't hard to see just why he said it was a coffee day; the bags under his eyes are quite telling of the troubles he had the night before. His brow pinches in concern.

He then looks to Akira, who is... using his words in such a way and has a look to his eyes that Akechi is well familiar with. He's getting the distinct feeling that he's punning, though he has no context. Still... he shakes his head lightly in exasperation, before his eyes draw to Kurama again.

He noticed that, too. Even under these effects, he was still keen enough to pick up on that moment of recognition in the man's eyes. How curious. Akechi is quite sure he's never seen him before in his life...

In either case... he gives him a gentle tug.]


Why don't we go sit down while we wait for the coffee to be made?

[A moment for this troubled young man to rest. He looked like he needed it.]

[ As okay as she says she is, Mike senses she could be feeling tired - Mike's a little tired himself after running - so he leads her by the hand over to where Frank built a blanket fort. Frank might say it was for Mike and the rest of the kids' benefit, but he knows Frank likes blanket forts too. (Frankly, Mike didn't trust anyone who didn't like blanket forts.)

He sits cross-legged opposite her and now the adrenaline is gone from the fall and getting to safety, he's smiling happily at her, still holding her hand. ]


Yeah, there are people with powers here too... People like you. [ He assumes she didn't meet anyone with powers last time she was in Reims. ] I'm glad you're back. [ Does he need to say he missed her? It goes without saying, really, written all over his face. ]
dapalis: (『 maybe sort of like you 』)

[personal profile] dapalis 2018-03-31 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Unlike most people, he really didn't understand all the sign language stuff all that much. Mostly since trying to do any of the signs just left him frustrated beyond words and he just didn't wanna put up with it right now. He'd just learnt how to do texts without awful typos and misspelling so that was at least an accomplishment all on it's own.

So when he did get the blond's attention, Yuu perked up and typed something out for him to see. ]


Don't know about you but.. uh. kinda wanna be around someone right now. not going away so yeah. maybe spending time with another person's gonna help?
rakuyo: (... so sweetly.)

[personal profile] rakuyo 2018-03-31 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Speech is a sign of the sane, in Maria's eyes, so she nods in response. The young woman looked utterly terrified so she must not be experienced with combat. Maria can pity that, it's a difficult leap to make for the mind, but time and care helps to cope. Her grip is sturdy and she lifts the woman onto her feet smoothly. Maria stood over six foot tall and her bulky clothes made her appear the giantess compared to an average sized person. Her face isn't so intimidating, she has an expression of level calm. Her voice is softer than the pattering rain and very proper. Despite the brutality she just displayed, her manner is noble.]

You are in need of shelter, my lady. Do you know a way to safety?
comesaround: (▷ you're useful for only one thing)

[personal profile] comesaround 2018-03-31 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well. Wasn't that an interesting power? He's never really seen such a thing before. Both the whip turning into a rose and the sudden appearance of those beams of light crashing down on the enemy from before, crashing down without the slightest restraint and earning something of an impressed whistle.

This place was definitely full of surprising people. ]


That's new. Glad I could be of help, then.

[ Amusement lined his voice, matching the flicker of near mischievousness on his face as he made to put his hands in his pockets. It was no use being bothered by the red dust or the rain right now so might as well be at ease with it until they could get inside.

Especially seeing as it appeared that whatever the other red-head did had taken care of that enemy from before, crumbling into dust as if they'd never been there to start with. ]


With that out of the way, shall we get going?

[ she knows because she's heard him take in a sharp breath at the sensation before, because he's moaned before -- the soft grunt is somewhere between those things and she smiles against his lips and kisses him again, even deeper, a little sloppy and a lot filthy. god, she loves kissing him --

and then he lifts her and dorothy wraps her legs around his waist and moans. it puts her in close contact with his crotch and it's friction and pressure where she wants it most. ]


Yes. [ god yes. ]
rakuyo: Commissioned Icon by <lj user=crawly> (Distaste.)

Looks perfect!

[personal profile] rakuyo 2018-03-31 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is a very, very rude arrival, but Maria's had worse. She's nearly caves her first assailent's face in around her fist, but she's stopped by another. Vash grabs her fist on the backward swing and though she nearly tosses him, his feet stay planted and stop her. With the first man largely incapacitated, Maria can move her attention to the other man.

Pulling her weight upward, she pushes backward into Vash, intend to body slam him in reverse. She's a sizable form and strong, so their is a lot of force behind the push back onto her feet. Even if Vash doesn't stumble or collapse backward, Maria is on her feet again, intent to keep up the fight.]

[There's no way for her to deny that she's drawn to him for some reason. She doesn't realize that it's a result of simply being in this place--so much had happened on the Avagi station during her journey across it. Something in her heart had broken open when Shiro had pulled her out of that airless room, and called to be filled.

His hand is warm on her arm, and the heat doesn't dissipate as his fingers move to find hers. This feels right. There isn't a word to describe how relieved she is to have this man--Thor, she reminds herself--beside her. Diana blinks, trying to get a hold of herself, and instead finds her hand turning so she can press her palm against his. Somehow she's stepped right up to him, and thinks she can feel the heat coming off him.]
