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.

list_maker: (which way?)

Maybe a good strategy if you're stronger than everyone you ever fight. But I'm not... [She has to learn tricks. Use an enemies strength and preconceptions against them. Arya is small, strong of will but not in body. She needs to train. Needs to know different methods to survive and to see her goals are met.]

[He's about to protest to the negative when he realizes there's a little smirk on her face. Well then, at least she's not about to smack him into next week for following her. Considering his track record with how he's been with people thus far, this is an improvement.]

I blame this dust that's being kicked up everywhere. It's bound to cause trouble. [He's just speculating, but Leo's apparently got it right on the nose.] My name is Leo.

[personal profile] stealyoursoul 2018-04-01 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I just got used to it being in a military operation.

[Whenever it felt like Leo finally got a chance to rest, there would be another issue to take care of. He glances at her one more time to assess her soul. No moving shadow, which meant she was pure. That was good. Leo would have hated to think someone so young had done something terrible in her past.]

Would you like any tea? There's-- [He opens up the cabinet and selects the ones he'd seen earlier.] --black, green, and Earl Grey.

[personal profile] list_maker 2018-04-01 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Arya beams and it makes her look even younger. It's not a look she's had often not since her father was executed. But it's starting to peak it's way out more and more in this place. The people's she's met here are so very much unlike the people she's known in Westeros. So much more willing to help her.]

Thank you. I want to learn everything I can before I return home. [She's not allowing an 'if' into the equation. She must get home.]
personify: (taking a leap)

[personal profile] personify 2018-04-01 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's grinning now, playfully smacking him on the shoulder. Truthfully, Raven barely knows Logan, but something is making her feel at ease with him. Enough to tease and joke around, to feel comfortable enough to touch him at all.] As though you aren't trouble too. Please.
stealyoursoul: (I thought I heard the shuffle of the)

[personal profile] stealyoursoul 2018-04-01 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Somehow, you heard my song from quite a distance a ways. Which is interesting since supposedly this whole house is supposed to be sound-proofed. [Sunai songs were powerful, able to be broadcast to influence people using things like a microphone, but this was something else entirely. There's no way she should have been able to hear him.] You said all that because the song of a Sunai makes a person confess their sins. It helps purge the soul of what has darkened it before we feed.

[It had taken a great deal of willpower not to snack on Kara's, but he wondered if he even could, with her soul in a half and half state like it was.] Your soul is something I've never encountered, being both sinful and innocent at the same time.

Things from home can end up here?

[He'd obviously known people could end up here, but items were something else entirely. Leo's wondering if some of his personal items might show up here. Namely, he's thinking of the many musical instruments he's collected over the years. He misses his guitar, his most favorite instrument, quite a bit.]

Newish. I arrived at the start of the month.

[ Vash's hand is cupping the slash in his arm, trying to keep the blood from pooling everywhere, but he is so shocked by her killing blow that he lets own a strangled cry. But soon the body is disappearing and was blowing into dust, as if he was never solid to begin with. He stands, face stoney, trying to decide what to be more shocked and appalled over. ]

It's a trick? A Sound Eater?

[ He's aware that there's more fighting to be done, but this has just changed the game. ]

[ The whole spiel about staying quiet isn't something Buffy could have anticipated; these people live like this? She has far more questions than they have answers, and by the time she returns to Spike, now dressed in a light blue jumpsuit, she's pretty grumpy about it. This isn't how she's used to working and she has a hunch there won't be any good demon bars with informants ripe for intimidation.

Slipping her phone into her pocket, she looks up at Spike with a tired pout. ]
Can we go now?

[ He is ready for her to retaliate, she doesn't seem like the type of person to just take that intervention lying down, but her weight does surprise him a bit. He stumbles, but keeps his hand locked tight on her arm using her as balance to keep from an inevitable fall. It's rare that he meets someone people taller than him. But even with his dorky, lanky appearance he is deceptively strong himself. But he still only has one arm and that is a problem in this situation. He isn't sure what to do with her since her actual fists seem to be a weapon. He tries to kick her feet out from under her. It's a little dirty, but if he can pin her than he can call for back up and get this undercontrol. ]

[personal profile] criticality 2018-04-01 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He lays down his device to pick up his glasses and hand them over to Leo for inspection. ]

In perfect condition. Sometimes the Locals will bring us stuff that's useful. I'm not sure how they do it. I don't even think they know, to be honest.

[ It's a little exhausting to think about and try to rationalize. He does think they are honest people, they just seem to be living with only half of the information they need to truly survival well. ]

Ah, how are you holding up?
danzan: all icons by <user name="danzan">. please don't take. (062)

[personal profile] danzan 2018-04-01 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but unlike you, I own it.

[ Man, it's a good thing his jumpsuit muffles little smacks like that. ]

Trouble ain't bad in small doses. Something like that.
poppycock: (#11396940)

sorry for the delay!!! \o/

[personal profile] poppycock 2018-04-01 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
( he can see that. he supposes anyone who has been asphyxiated might need a moment, and klaus is happy to step in. her attacker is dazed but not down, and klaus does not give him an opportunity to recover. he moves in a blur, preternaturally fast; he grabs the man's chin and jerks it back, his neck fracturing and snapping in two. he crumples just as his comrade, dust before he hits the ground.

of course, there are the others to contend. klaus barely escapes being skewered by a spear, coming at him from the side; it gauges a cut across his middle. blood splatters and he grunts, mostly in annoyance; he grabs the end of the weapon, positions it with ease and vindictive pleasure to slam it into his assailant's nose.

historyrabbit: (sheepish φ Does it almost feel like)

[personal profile] historyrabbit 2018-04-01 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[The whole trick of it is just not making noise. Lavi can control his own but he's learning how to do it with what he's interacting with in his environment.]

We'll have to get sand from the locals, but I don't mind helping with it. I'd love to see what else the world has come up with.

[A soundless laugh, there was that.] Especially when it came to their churches.
misplacesfriends: (☐ When where and how)

[personal profile] misplacesfriends 2018-04-01 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure. I just arrived a few weeks ago, we don't talk or make noise out here unless it's raining. [Or storming, like this.]

But a storm like this hasn't exactly happened before that I know of. [He looks around.] Doesn't seem like there's any other weird people walking about. [Like the guy that Maria was attacking.]
stealyoursoul: (Run on for a long time)

[personal profile] stealyoursoul 2018-04-01 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
This place is strange and continues to get stranger.

[That does make him a little hopeful stuff from his world might make it here. He could do with some new clothes above all else.]

Alright, considering quite a few people here seem to disapprove of me.

[But he'd figured that was going to happen once he revealed that he was a soul-sucking monster to everyone. People never seemed to take that well.]

historyrabbit: (grin φ You are right at home)

[personal profile] historyrabbit 2018-04-01 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it's certainly eye-catching. [Helps when also trying to rescue him.

...Please don't inflate his head, Kija.]
Ha! I'll have to tell my friends that should they arrive.
misplacesfriends: (☐ Lean in)

[personal profile] misplacesfriends 2018-04-01 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, I'll make sure I clean them up once I get back inside. I just want to make sure there's no one out here that needs help.

[Sometimes that was okay, depended on the patient!]

I've been here a few weeks, but from what I know folks usually come at the beginning of the month like I did. Not...in a storm.
lovesbitch: our nuptial hour (☾003)

[personal profile] lovesbitch 2018-04-01 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he gives the natives a look as if to say he's got it from here. not that he'd been all that keen to follow their rules. buffy deserves a good rest before tackling this world's problems too, doesn't she? he heaves out a sigh and gets a glare for his trouble. ] Yeah, we can go, but we have to talk using these blasted things. [ he waves his device around even as his shoulder slots in against hers, ready to make his way outside the reset rooms. ] Like this :/

[ Frowning at his screen, she pulls her device back out of her pocket, studying it for a moment before trying her hand at typing. She'd never been much for texting, she usually ended up pushing the keys too many times, and cellphones were too expensive to risk taking out on patrol, so she'd just never really bothered.

It takes two attempts, but she finally manages to find what she's looking for. ]
Okay :(
tornadoed: (❮ 011. ❯)

[personal profile] tornadoed 2018-04-01 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it makes her think of herself and toto. she tips her head to the side a little without dislodging his cheek against her hair. enough that he might be able to feel the edge of her smile against his shoulder. she keeps her arm where it is and doesn't try to trace anything onto his, a silent request for him to keep drawing. ]
equivalent_trade: (Ed: lecture)

Sight of Lightning, rolling up late

[personal profile] equivalent_trade 2018-04-01 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
What's up?

[ communicating this way wasn't exactly second nature to Ed, but he was a fast learner. He didn't recognize Yuu, but it wasn't like that meant much out here. He did, at least, shove his muffin into his pocket instead of blatantly eating it while talking. ]
sparke: (🌩 095)

[personal profile] sparke 2018-04-01 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ thor isn't anyone's father and he isn't feeling overly paternal, but he is feeling protective. he doesn't know where it comes from; this man feels plenty solid in a way that hints at serious muscle and a knowledge on how to use them, and yet thor wants to make sure that he's all right. that he's being taken care of, that he's warm and safe and comfortable.

so he keeps holding on, pressing his smile against the crown of logan's hair when he feels logan's arms wrapping around him and holding on more and more tightly.

in response, he squeezes logan warmly. ]
poodlemom: (He's got like an extra boy on him)

[personal profile] poodlemom 2018-04-01 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I insist you stay! Going back out there is just asking for trouble... [Victor was staying by the door, hoping to be useful to people needing shelter, but the lock is certainly closed tight in the meantime. He couldn't deal with one of those fiends himself, that's for certain.]
poodlemom: (Don't test me boy)

[personal profile] poodlemom 2018-04-01 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Victor is feeling enough stress right now without the bitchy commentary, thanks. He grabs the water bottle and unscrews the sip-top from it.

Then squeezes it, squirting Akechi square in the face with a stream of water.]

Don't sass me.
