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.

prorenataa: (neck grab)

Looks good to me! Y to bringing Raven in!

[ Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star??

At least the man has a sense of humor. In a manner of speaking. ]


Go, kill dust creatures and bring me anyone who needs patched up. [ He really doesn't do well with gratitude, even after two hundred plus years, that is one area where he still gets awkward. ]

Well I've certainly fallen before, but with a lot of practice you fall less and less.

[He grits his teeth visibly, his hand coming up to swat away the arms, though he turns his head, angrier more than anything that Victor was right, that he was currently compromised and more likely to become a liability than of service.

He coughs some more.]


... hurry it up.

[He'll humor your request, but not for a second longer than he needs to.]

[ Least they get into a pie vs cake debate, Adrien focused on her latter statement. ]

Let's hope either no one is home or if they are, they don't mind uninvited guests.

[ He breaks into a jog in an attempt to keep up with her while still keeping an eye out to ensure nothing comes up behind either of them. ]

[ It's a good thing Logan's so simple, because a hug on its own already does wonders for him. Eventually his face just shifts to press into the guy's shoulder, and the arms that hung so loosely at his sides move to clutch at the sides of the man's jumpsuit at his waist. Logan doesn't hug back yet -- that stubbornness as far as affectionate touches go is the only difficult thing about this whole scenario -- but he could fall asleep like this, wrapped up in someone's embrace instead of sleeping with a pillow at his front and back to emulate it.

And he's so tired. Not just from the storm the other day, but from the circumstances that he thinks brought him here in the first place.

Lips to the man's shoulder, Logan mouths a 'thank you'. He doesn't know if he'll be able to decipher the motions, but hopes for the best. ]

No. I've just been places like this before.

[ The Maze, the Scorch... ]

I've learned that ya gotta get as much information as fast as you can. Haven't been here much longer than you. Been here... maybe a fortnight? Not entirely sure, haven't been counting the days that closely.

[ Thomas, Minho and Newt have been running around trying to find as much out as possible. ] There's something about the dust here, it does things to people.

[ It's got to be another test. He's itching to ask Klaus what he knows of WCKD, but he keeps it to himself. ] Ya gotta stay quiet, not make a lot of noise, and walk on the sand. Did ya get a device yet? They got these things that you can talk over, they translate the sign language too. [ Newt pauses, fishes his out and holds up his device. ]
list_maker: (my name is arya)

[personal profile] list_maker 2018-04-01 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Arya is all too happy to use Needle and slice through attackers as Maria draws their attention away. She might have been covered in blood if not for the fact that each one turned to dust after each killing blow.

She happens to enjoy the killing of those she feels deserve it. There's not vengeance in these killings though, no true satisfaction to be had. But she it good at it. Efficient with her blade.]
bringsthestorm: (hard)

[Jupiter takes it — she knew how to swing a bat and was pretty athletic in general, so maybe that'd help to some degree? Not that she wanted to hit someone with a bat, but. Y'know. Judging from the fact the dude was bleeding dust though, she was pretty sure it was some sort of supernatural creature rather than another human anyways, so she was willing to go for it if she had to.]

Gotcha, I'll follow your lead.

[And she does follow him, occasionally glancing back at the attacker as well — it was clutching at its head and staggering after them, swinging the knife uselessly with the other hand. Meanwhile, the cut on her arm was still bleeding pretty bad, and it stung like a motherfucker. Jupiter debates wrapping her jacket around it, but she really didn't want to ruin that, or breathe in any more dust than she had to. She'd just wait for whatever they could get at the hospital, which honestly, couldn't come soon enough.]

[Faith didn't have any program to blame her issues on. They are all 100% home grown.] Point. But figure it makes me pretty good at just expecting things to be shit. So this place is just the same shit, different day, different reality.

[personal profile] a2brutus 2018-04-01 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Jupiter Btw is a weird name. Maybe Btw is one of those last name things she's heard about?

A2 doesn't comment on it either way.
]

You can call me A2. And I'm fine. Do you need help with anything? I'm one of the city guards, but I can also move anything heavy you might need.

[ The kitchen was always a good spot to sit and relax. Poe knew there had been several others within the house that he hadn't came across yet. There were smells coming from within that wasn't so bad.

Someone knew how to cook and most likely well with the scents coming out from it. Poe would step into the kitchen to see who it was. Riley was certainly new as well as having features that surprised him a bit a first. How fluffy and soft was that tail exactly? It's what he's focusing on when the other turns to see him.

Poe's eyes lift up realizing what the other wanted him to do. He gives a nod while walking to the counter to grab the plates quietly. The movement is slow so that when he puts the plates down they don't make too much noise. He'll even go a step further to place the wooden silverware down along the plates. Poe will fill cups with water before placing them on the table as well. ]
a2brutus: (024)

[personal profile] a2brutus 2018-04-01 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
I guess. But generally speaking you only need to stab something once for it to stop moving. [She rolls her shoulders in a shrug. Android, Machine, Human or Animal, a single good stab is all it takes for whatever it is to stop moving.]
bringsthestorm: (confusedblush)

[personal profile] bringsthestorm 2018-04-01 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Her hero, she supposed, as she looked up at Maria — Jupiter was pretty short herself, so she had to crane her head to get a look. She had to admit, Maria was the epitome of a dashing rescuer you'd see in a movie or something, and she was pretty to boot. Well, pretty seemed too inelegant for her... beautiful? No, that didn't really fit either. Striking, perhaps? The train of thought makes Jupiter snap her wristband against her wrist and clear her throat, shaking her head at her question as the back of her mind feel gratitude for the fact the redness to her cheeks was hidden right now.]

I don't even know where I am to begin with. Do you...?
bringsthestorm: (musingblush)

[personal profile] bringsthestorm 2018-04-01 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[A2 no.............]

nice to meet you, A2

[Play it cool, Jupiter. Play it cool. She may be half naked (and has a really weird name??), but you've got this. She pushes her hair out of her face with one hand, tucking it behind an ear before returning to the device to continue responding.]

well, i wouldn't want to trouble you or anything...

[But she did need somewhere to like. Live. And stuff to facilitate the whole living thing.

And also like. For A2 to put on some clothes because god was it so incredibly tempting to let her eyes wander, yeesh, way to leave nothing to the imagination. She doesn't catch herself before she snaps her wristband this time, and instantly freezes with wide eyes. Oops.]

We have not.

[ Kylo Ren kept to himself for the most part. If not out on the paths he would often be found in the library, reviewing maps and making notes of areas of interest — and, most recently, assisting Teddy with his patrols. ]

How long have you been in Reims?
warfares: <user name="recadreuse"> (Default)

[personal profile] warfares 2018-04-01 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Not sure. At the very least we can probably do something where they encounter him and drag him in for questioning?
equivalent_trade: (Ed: watch it!)

[personal profile] equivalent_trade 2018-04-01 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Good.

With the automail he'd gotten tuned up for service up north, Ed was much lighter on his feet -- literally. He ducked behind a pile of defunct crates just in time to see a human shape lumbering through the red, swirling dust... and moving past...

Only when the man's footsteps receded did he turn back to Angus, and in a quiet voice: ]


Do you know what's going on?
a2brutus: (024)

[personal profile] a2brutus 2018-04-01 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[The wristband snaps, and A2 looks down at the source of the sound and narrows her eyes, though she doesn't move. It's a tense few seconds that nothing seems to happen, but A2 seems to relax again after they pass. Not without a chiding, though.]

It's no trouble at all. Though I'd be careful about making noise. Even the slightest thing can get you killed here. Not that it's anything other than an annoyance, it can put other people in danger.
coagmentatio: the bike with this large rake i just stole (actually it'd just be too hard to ride)

[personal profile] coagmentatio 2018-04-01 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ While he's incredibly glad to know his mate isn't bleeding or dying, that isn't what he'd meant, of course. So he waits a few seconds to see if there will be a follow-up.

And... lo' and behold, there is, and Aiden's rubbing a hand over his face after reading it. That's exactly what he'd braced himself for, should it not be something along the lines of "fine." And, of-fucking-course it is, right? The red dust just has to go and make sure that can't be the case around here.

Honestly, it wouldn't be a surprise if Riley was able to imagine a genuinely annoyed expression with the initial words. ]


Same. I think that dust crap did something again.

How much longer until you're done?

[ He waves toward one of the large walls, the warning sprayed across it in thick black paint: DO NOT ENTER.

It might as well be in neon. ]


Even after claiming they wish to be honest, they keep things from us.

[ Not that the theater has actually been raised at any of the Town Meetings yet, attention generally focused on the immediate concerns: the Sound Eaters and the sundry ways they could all die horrifically. ]

[personal profile] bringsthestorm 2018-04-01 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
i know, i'm sorry, i'm trying to break the habit... i should probably just stop wearing it at all

[But having it not on her wrist made her feel almost kind of naked. As naked as A2 was, god.]

uhm, well... maybe you could help me with something then, if you really don't mind? i'm trying to like, find someplace to stay permanently. i'm not exactly sure how that really works.
a2brutus: (024)

[personal profile] a2brutus 2018-04-01 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[That's a weird habit.]

Mostly it's a matter of finding a free room and saying you want it to everyone else who lives in that house. It's not really a big deal. I'm sure the house I'm at has a free room, if you're interested in it.

[Carpet flutters backwards to let Logan sit down, before alighting back in his lap again. (Who's ever heard of a rug sitting on a person instead of the other way around?) The skepticism is obvious in Logan's expression..... Carpet makes a motion that looks rather like scratching his head, considering what he should do. Master isn't sure if he can communicate, right?

Well, then. Carpet splits his free tassel into "fingers" and starts typing--a little slowly and clumsily, and he has to fix a few mistakes from hitting the wrong letters, but typing nonetheless.]


My name is Fuwa-chan.

[Carpet sets the device down so it can be read; with both tassels free now, the other one splits as well, and he starts signing so that Logan's device can scan and translate the gestures. That should be a good enough demonstration, right? It's what Master actually wanted to know?]

Nice to meet you.
bringsthestorm: (amused)

[personal profile] bringsthestorm 2018-04-01 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
oh, word? that'd be nice, i don't really have any other leads on empty rooms...

[And in theory seeing A2 every day makes her heart flutter a little. God, was she pretty...]
