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.

It takes time for some, but there are creatures that hunt by sound here. Deadly ones...

[She made sure the door was closed before she knelt down in front of Rei and spoke very faintly, keeping her eyes elsewhere. Her tone was wooden, without much in the way of inflection, faint and even a little high pitched. It alway had a distant quality to it when she replied.]

I have seen others like her. They are made of dust, not really alive. Fakes.

[She walked quietly over the floorboards, pulling out a phone so that he could see it and tapping on it. When she did, the message came through clearly enough, and the thing made next to no noise as it was being used, not even the faint 'vibrations' that sometimes phones made.]

We usually do not speak at all.

[She made sure he'd seen it, the act more of a demonstration of the facts of their life than because she planned to use it for the rest of their talk.]

Once things calm down, you will be given a phone and new clothes that make less sound.

[ Poe needs it anywhere he goes unless he gets a teacher to help him read the words. He may be able to learn some of the French. For now he needs the device but he gives her a friendly smile as she realizes him. ]

Very smart, I didn't even think there may have been something like that. We can hope that the natives didn't destroy anything. They seemed to keep secrets. And they may still be keeping more of them. Natural disasters or unnatural occurrences. Do you think any of that might have gotten covered up though? I don't mind joining you. I got kind of lost in the library. I'm not even sure where to look to read up on aircrafts that might have been here.

[The quickness of his movements doesn't really startle her. Spending some time around Peter Maximoff meant that someone who could move more quickly than her eyes could follow is a pretty common occurrence for her. Her yellows eyes fix on Klaus as he dispenses with the attackers and Raven grimaces as the spear slices his stomach and watches fascinated at the body dusts away after getting skewered.

Raven moves closer to him, trying to get a better look at the state of his wound.]
Are you alright?

He may have found another walking buddy. Poe didn't have too many but sometimes being out in the night alone was super creepy. Sometimes he thought he saw people but they could be patrolling. If they were he didn't want to bother them. It was on principal to leave them be as they do their work. Poe would know about patrolling by having to do something similar but in a ship and with others.

The clothing he's wearing is a dark orange jumpsuit that was sewn together by the native woman he knows. His leather jacket is over it to keep him warm and he's in boots that were modified for sound.

I walk in any weather. Even during the heavy storm I was out and about trying to help others. The rain can be rather soothing when it happens and it's just rain. It's easy to dry off later. Do you not have shoes?

[Thrashings didn't teach much, other than 'don't do that.' Rei would definitely prefer this method, if she new better how Arya had been taught.]

... Yes. Come at me again.

[She was setting herself, and it was pretty obvious that her eyes were focusing more, watching to see if she could get a feel for the way that Arya's body twitched or moved. She remembered some of what she had seen before. She wanted to see if it was different, or the same. If different, she would prepare for another angle.

This was not going o be immediate, but she was determined to get the hang of this. Perhaps it would even help her later, if she remembered this when she got home, to utilize her unit better.]

You said that already. [ Mike points out gently, but he gets why Will needs to reiterate.

Eventually he pulls back, though it's a struggle - Will is clinging a little. ]


I'll be back before you know it. Just - draw something nice for me to come back to? [ Maybe that'll distract Will from worrying about him... ]

(It was funny. Eddie had all sorts of friends did all kinds of things children weren't meant to do. Things like smoke and swear like sailors. Being from the fifties really normalized a lot of that, and yet, as Will asked him how he knew, Eddie felt a moment of embarrassment. Would Will think he was lame or stupid for drinking? Jake hadn't been so impressed, but he had been amused at least.

Eddie bites his lip, but before he can properly answer, Will is grabbing his hand and Eddie goes pink. Majima had been there, but then there had been the time where Will had pulled away from him with the music. He stares at their hands, feeling a burning up sensation in his belly. Right. He had been asked a question.

He digs his device out since signing with one hand was next to impossible. Eddie squeezes back and finally shows him his phone.)


I got some vodka I put into some lemonade and drank it a while back. It was kind of fun. Tastes really gross though.

( her concern is understandable, but the wound is truly the least of his worries. he turns to face her and moves his jacket to the side at her query. his shirt is sheared and stained with fresh blood. in fact, he looks as though he should be sporting quite a few bruises and stabs, but his skin is smooth beneath the handful of tears. ) None the worse for wear, ( he replies in wry amusement, a melody to the words, his smile bespoken of his own private amusement. ) And you?
personify: (will shoot you)

sure!

[personal profile] personify 2018-04-02 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
I met him already in the storm. But there wasn't much time for talking. [She knows that he looks like Charles too, although Logan doesn't say that. The fact that Raven doesn't immediately object to his touch just how tired she is. The pattern is noted though.] A talented asshole. Well, then, Just my type. [Ha. She moves toward the door once its starts to open.]

[ oh boy... but was she really going to be okay with that descriptor alone? There were now at least three dudes with eyepatches in Reims now.

COLD SWEATS ]


Majima Gorō.

And yeah, that sounds like a good idea. So what should I call ya? Rei-chan?

[ Bucky shakes his head with a little smile. She could be one of the more experienced teachers if she has any experience at all. At the very least, they've been smart or lucky enough not to assign jobs like that to him or any of the other people who seem completely unable to do it. ]

I wasn't the best student, myself. I was always getting into trouble or my friend was getting me into it.

[personal profile] lednikovyy 2018-04-02 12:23 am (UTC)(link)

I've been taking them. Pretty useful, but I haven't been here long.

[If he's expecting her to be surprised that he seems to have healed a multitude of horrendous wounds, he may be disappointed that all he seems to get is the slightest of quirked blue brows. Raven is simply assuming he's a mutant, like her.] I'll live.

Is there a way out of this storm? Have you seen one?

Just like that, huh? I could learn a thing or two from you.

[ He's had the rug pulled out from under him in a major way a few times in his life, but it's still not easy. Every time it's been bigger than the last, too. This time, the entire world is just gone, replaced by a new world when he'd barely had a handle on making his way in the old one. He doesn't even know if he believes that he'll ever get back, either. This might be it until something gets worse. ]

(Praise Jesus.

When Logan says that he's staying in the garage, Eddie's face tenses up. He almost looks....It's hard to tell whether he looks more mad or upset, but his mouth tightens into a thin line, and then a second later he's staring down at his feet and forcing himself to relax. It wasn't like it was closed-off to whoever was coming in. People were allowed to stay there. Of course they were.

He shouldn't be such a little kid about something so dumb as a room. He sniffs and looks back up at Logan.)


Okay. Just take care of it. That's where Richie was. (So Logan had to be good about it. Not that...a garage could really be destroyed but. Whatever.

He gives a nod.)


There's a library here. Not all the books are in great condition. There's classes to go to, which are kinda interesting. If you're looking for booze, my friend Majima's got a bar. So that's an option.
justbeingknife: (makoto no)

hey hey, assuming this is after Victor let him in if that's okay

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-04-02 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ Majima had taken to dropping in for classes every now and then, which was why he thought it might be a good idea to check in on the both of them at the studio. In a spare moment, he'd text: ]

Katsuki-han, you around somewhere?

[Maybe 'eyepatch and ponytail.']

Goro-san? I will remember that. Ayanami-chan is fine, or Rei-chan. I am used to formal people as a rule.
porkbelly: (To quote Yurio: HUH?)

Absolutely!

[personal profile] porkbelly 2018-04-02 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I'm at the studio. I hope you're safe as well?

(Eddie was getting too paranoid about the sand to keep on leaving the house without a mask. He kept considering letting everyone else know that they should really invest in masks- even if just bandanas- before leaving their homes. Especially since it seemed like every time the red dust kicked up, it impacted people in rather large ways.

He's so focused on his task that he really doesn't notice anyone approaching him. So of course he nearly jumps when the device comes out of no where. He almost drops his jar in the process but manages not to. He rests his hand over his heart, catching his breath, before looking up to see who it was.

When his eyes catch on Mike's face...Well.

It certainly is painful. He missed his best friend enough that for one awful aching minute, he prayed that this was just Richie. Richie without his glasses, Richie having learned how to brush his hair out. But it wasn't. He knew it wasn't. Richie and Mike might have identical faces, but they had completely different mannerisms and expressions.

Eddie's eyes sting for a second and he quickly stares down at the dust and carefully picks some more up. He has to gather himself before properly responding. Eventually, he sets his jar down quietly before finally responding to Mike:)


I want to gather samples of the red dust. If anyone knows how to really use a telescope I want to see if we can start studying it maybe. Who knows what this shit is doing to our insides? And maybe they'll find something. I don't know.
porkbelly: (Wiggle mouth of nervousness)

[personal profile] porkbelly 2018-04-02 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
It's... refrigerated. If that means anything to you.
porkbelly: (don't stare me always)

[personal profile] porkbelly 2018-04-02 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[From elsewhere, Yuuri hears that unusually terse response from Victor and comes to see what's going on...

... when he sees Akechi, he freezes.]


O-oh... it's you.
porkbelly: (My glasses are escaping in shock)

[personal profile] porkbelly 2018-04-02 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, you're going somewhere?

[There's instant worry, Yuuri's brow furrowing.]

I'm coming with you. I don't want to be separated again.

[Raven's eyes narrow but not at him, but at the dust around them.] The dust is doing something to us? [That's not a thought that settles very well with her. If there is something she dislikes more than anything else, it's being controlled.]

I'm Raven.

( she was gone when he left.

to say that wasn't partially the reason for his aggravation this morning, pacing a worn path upon a hideously unpolished floor (besides the suffering of their current circumstances), well. there is a saying that goes something like that.

he's preoccupied. with thoughts and concerns for her. he endeavors with limited success to brush them away. caroline is no doubt doing what she does best: befriending others, finding a place to stand within this mess, and seeking her own answers. she's fully capable of taking care of herself. he has other worries, other plagues. other terrible, nightmarish scenarios that haunt him, ones in which he cannot return home; he's abandoned his daughter. he thinks of the trials facing her and how elijah β€” how freya and hayley, and marcel... they will face them alone.

he finds focus: in exploration. in questioning and compelling all natives he comes across. he sets up a convenient source of blood and tracks the lengthy network chatter. it's an interesting day, full of confirmations of all he's been already told, and a little more he hasn't.

it's unsatisfying.

he returns just as the sun is setting, quiet in his steps, and finds her. he watches her for a moment, something full in his chest and drawing a path into his throat β€” comfort. he takes comfort in seeing her. he opens his mouth to speak before he remembers.

with a soft inhale, he takes out his phone and sends her a message.
