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.

[Word??? Why is this human seemingly weirder than the rest... Why are they all so different! It's so hard to understand their strange terms.]

If it turns out I'm wrong you can have my room. There's not really anything in the way of furniture in there other than a bed and dresser though.

[Welcome to the age of modern teens, A2.]

don't you need that though???

[She looks at A2 in confusion, tilting her head a little.]
voidmage: (I can see you in my mind)

[personal profile] voidmage 2018-04-01 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
he seemed happy [And worried but they had been in the middle of the storm when they reunited.]

he did

[Her head tilts curiously. Normally they don't tell people about her powers.]
a2brutus: (024)

[personal profile] a2brutus 2018-04-01 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[She's too old for this??? Young??? SHE'S TOO SOMETHING FOR THIS.]

No.
bringsthestorm: (question)

[personal profile] bringsthestorm 2018-04-01 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Uhm????]

but then where would you sleep??
limped: (you can't pull me up from here)

[personal profile] limped 2018-04-01 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Good that.

[ He's got the strange feeling she's being sarcastic again. ]

Okay Beyonce, you just get here today?
voidmage: (some food and some shelter)

[personal profile] voidmage 2018-04-01 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[While resting would be nice, El also can't let herself fall asleep out here. There are too many dangers running around and so she has to stay awake so they don't get hurt. The sight of the blanket fort is comforting. Even with everything else happening, it was a safe place in her mind.

She mimics him for now, though her smile is smaller but no less happy.]


A lot of people? [Even after El met her mother and her sister, the idea of other people having powers is amazing.] Back?

[Does he know that she was in the Upside Down or was it just that he was glad to see her in general?]
personify: (surprise)

[personal profile] personify 2018-04-01 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[There's release of tension when his fingers brush her knuckles, returning her touch. She peaks up at him after staring down at their hands for perhaps too long. Her smile is turning more teasing now.] So you agree?! You think I'm trouble. How. Dare. You.
voidmage: (till you run away)

[personal profile] voidmage 2018-04-01 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe before but the storm has brought a lot more than new arrivals. There are bad things out there and not just monsters but people who are out to kill them. El watches as he moves to check the locks, her eyes on him as he comes back.

At his question, she holds out her left arm and tugs on the sleeve of her coat until the cut is revealed fully. It's not only bloody but also coated in the red dust from where the clothing had been sliced through.]
From the bad man in the storm.

I don't need sleep. I'm an android.
bringsthestorm: (babbling)

[personal profile] bringsthestorm 2018-04-01 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
wait what

[what??? is that why she was so heavy to run into...? and perhaps also why she was running around mostly naked and also kind of vaguely dirty, now that she was really looking? still gorgeous though.]

for real?

[personal profile] a2brutus 2018-04-01 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Feel for yourself.

[A2 holds out her arm for Jupiter! Which is, in fact not a glove but a smooth, warm metal!]
voidmage: (I can't seem to shake)

[personal profile] voidmage 2018-04-01 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[While her verbal communication skills are lacking, El is pretty good with physical ones - hand guestures and general motions work well for her. So she doesn't miss any of the looks he gives her.

When he points at her torso, she lifts a hand to where the wound is and winces a little bit. Not on purpose but because it hurt to touch it. So no, no she isn't okay. But it isn't life-threatening.

Eventually, once she's recovered her strength, El will be able to move into the house further and find something to cover the cut.

Or the strange man will offer her a ride. She hesitates for a moment but the fact that he's offering his back and not moving to just pick her up helps her make a decision. Shifting until she's on her knees, both arms come up to wrap around his neck.

The whole thing makes El glad that she's gotten stronger and doesn't suffer from such extreme consequences anymore for using her powers. She can still move a little but her hold on him isn't all that strong so he may need to help.]

[She reaches out gingerly and touches it, eyes widening with surprise when she felt the warmth and hardness. Jupiter then tries to pinch it, just to make sure, and is entirely unsuccessful.]

wow!

[Wait. That means that the black pieces she'd previously thought were skimpy clothes were actually... just straight up naked android metal.... oh my god. Oh my god.]

does this place have a lot of androids?
a2brutus: (024)

[personal profile] a2brutus 2018-04-01 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Two. Myself and someone else from my world. That's all I know of here, though.

[A2 retracts her hand, motioning for Jupiter to follow.]

It's safer to talk inside than out in the open. Less likely that a noise gets made.
bringsthestorm: (musingblush)

[personal profile] bringsthestorm 2018-04-01 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[two whole robots... so cool.]

good idea, lead the way

[She follows after, walking along next to her and stealing glances occasionally. Jupiter really couldn't figure it out, but she was just progressively finding herself more and more smitten with this android — she goes for her wristband but ends up digging her fingernails into her arm instead, the sting helping her calm down and focus.

Stop being the way you are, Jupiter! she chides herself inwardly, heaving an equally inward sigh.]
byanyother_name: (Trying not to laugh)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2018-04-01 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Kurama doesn't miss a beat, to be honest, though his shoulders shake just a little with repressed laughter under Akechi's arm as his fingers fly over his device with far less care.]

I wouldn't say I was humoring you at all. Even if I could have finished the fight on my own, I was still in a thorny predicament.

[He goes along with Akechi's soft tug willingly enough. Sitting down doesn't actually sound bad... He's very tired. Besides, he knows a segue when he reads one and he knows better than to think either teen will just let go of the mystery he presents. Kurama would definitely rather be sitting down for that.]

And...you don't need to soften it with that 'almost'. I'm aware of how painfully blatant I was during that fight. I'm not sure how believable you may find my explanation, however.
vdova: (sp-00123)

[personal profile] vdova 2018-04-01 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a plan.

[ She doesn't look over her shoulder at the woman. She looks more than capable (and, Natasha suspects, Asgardian — that armor alone is enough to make her wonder). Natasha also has her own assailant to worry about; she leans back out of the way of the swipe of his ax, using his momentum to climb up and wrap her legs around his neck.

The sound of the snap of his neck is probably lost in the sound of the rain, but his body dissolving into red dust before Natasha's feet even hit the ground is proof enough that he's dead. Natasha wrinkles her nose at the stain on her jeans, and then turns towards her companion, making sure she's alright too. ]

[personal profile] a2brutus 2018-04-01 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[A2's completely oblivious to Jupiter's internal struggle. In fact, A2 doesn't even realize that she's having any issues to begin with? And she likely won't unless there's blood.

A2 gently pushes the door open for her human guest!

In you go.

vdova: (sp-01369)

[personal profile] vdova 2018-04-01 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
No, and no. They're too busy trying to kill us for me to get an answer.

[ She grimaces and stances, fists clenched, feet braced. Natasha is unarmed, but that's not going to stop her. ]

So I say we kill them right back.

[ She glances at Diana as she says it, giving her a small, cold, smile. ]
divarication: (huge sigh)

[personal profile] divarication 2018-04-01 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Physical safety is always the biggest issue whether they're here or back home. Mostly because dying was quite common while this "itch" was something he could ignore for a while. It wasn't harmful or deadly (so far) which meant it could wait.

No matter how much he dislikes the feeling or the idea of being messed with. But Aiden isn't asking just to check to see if he's hurt - there's more. Even with all the dangers this world has to offer, Riley doesn't get random texts asking if he's alright.

Which means his mate is feeling it too. Great.]


Ugh, as if seeing nearly everything in black and white wasn't bad enough.

An hour, maybe. Less if I can finish this prep work for tomorrow sooner than that.
divarication: (what's going on?)

[personal profile] divarication 2018-04-01 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Other than his room, the kitchen was the one place in the house where Riley didn't feel like he was intruding on other people's personal space. The open spaces were where they laid their head at night but the kitchen was always the real gathering place of any house.

Poe will not be offered the opportunity to find out how soft his tail is. It's weird when other people touch it.

While the other man sets the dishes out, Riley stirs the meal one last time before turning off the stove and bringing the pan to the island. Once he sets it down on a potholder, he motions for Poe to dish up first.]
sunflowering: (It's still the same old argument.)

[personal profile] sunflowering 2018-04-01 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[At the door she brushes her wet hair from her face and shakes her head. There's really no time for more than a quick break and a moment to rest. A couple of butterflies appear over head, fluttering in the air, seemingly unaffected by the rain. She glances back toward the street as she speaks.]

No- I'm part of the patrol and there's still people out here that need help.

[She can't just leave them and she takes the job and position seriously. Whatever these things are, they aren't strong, just plentiful. And that's the problem. Her gaze returns back up to him, glancing over him for any injuries or the scent of blood in the air or establishment.]

Is anyone injured? I can get help and bring them to you.

[Her eyes, normally a soft brownish red, are a deep crimson. She can't exactly ignore the scents that saturate the air even despite the rain and her body reflects the fact.]

Moreover, if I find anyone in trouble I'll bring them here. You need to make sure to arm yourself if you haven't already-- pipes, wooden boards, knives-- whatever you have just in case one of those things tries to get inside.
persevere: (easycompany-tvd4x15-063)

[personal profile] persevere 2018-04-01 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Caroline has lost some blood herself, even if the wounds she's received thus far have healed over. Which means the scent of gushing blood makes her thirst rage again briefly from this distance, but she pushes it down with relative ease.

She has a lot of practice, at least.]


Look, I get the wanting to act tough, but I can tell it's not small. [Her lips press together into a fine line as she considers, before finally saying.] I'll be fine. But, if you promise not to freak out, I can help you, okay?

Spell slots? It's a shame you can't keep casting endlessly.

[ Since the Lightning Bolt seemed to be really useful. As Poe will continue to duck and dodge as the attacker he already stabbed continues to try to fight him. He quickly stabs them in the neck when he gets close. The attacker falls turning into a pile of dust, if they did have a weapon it disappears. He turns his attention to any others coming his way while waiting for Angus to do his spells first while staying away. ]
