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.

( I know what happened. I was there when the blade split. )

[ The statement is almost an interjection, cutting off what she doesn't want to hear. The memory is too fresh for it not to be as clear as crystal, even so; a reminder is, at this point, akin to rubbing salt into an open, gaping, bleeding wound. ]

( You say you haven't done it, but you have. Not remembering it doesn't make it any less true. )

You are not fine. ( the staunch reality is delivered, not without compassion. but it is inarguable, the worried truth in his eyes as she comes close. he lifts his other hand to her arm in an attempt to quell her rage; he's not blind. what she wants is to be fine; what he sorely desires is also for her to fine, but there is nothing of the sort for either of them here. ) Not only have you ben fighting for what I assume is as long as I, but you've been wounded. ( he gestures pointedly to the tears and blood on her shirt.

and she healed him. a lump forms in his throat as he looks down at her, his eyes full. she tore herself open and she deserves — she needs what he can do for her. he swallows thickly.
) Conscience aside, there is no other option. ( steel enters his voice, he forces the man a step towards her. ) Neither of us will survive if you don't feed, and if you don't feed, I won't.

[He nods in understanding, switching to his device as well.] Hence the nonsense words. Makes sense, but only if you know which words you're signing. Otherwise I imagine someone might be offended at being called a 'rusty spoon' or some such ilk.

[ Huh. Well, it didn't seem like he was going to get a lot of answers here -- but it would've been a bigger surprise if someone had mysteriously shown up with all the answers. ]

Where ya were, was it better'n here?

The study of the building blocks of life, and the code that determines the traits an animal will have. [...] It would be difficult to explain tonight. We can speak of it later.

Compulsory and comprehensive, yes. Everyone must go to school up to a certain point, though I also had private training, as did the other pilot.

Ayanami is acceptable. It will feel normal, and you will never meet another. I believe you are correct.

You are somewhat informal, yes?

[The sun things a little confusing. But then Spike doesn't seem to have any problems. Alternate dimensions were a trip, yo. Faith nods, at that, emphatically.] Yeah the dust people can f right off. No argument there.

Oh, I got them a while back. There was just this suitcase on my doorstep. Kind of creepy actually. Like I got gifted them by the Reims fairy or something. Seems to happen a lot around here though.

"I have seen that before. Once or twice. So that is what they meant." She relaxed a little and rested her head there against Chloe's shoulder, eyes closed while she stood there, nuzzling away like there was absolutely nothing wrong with this. "Thank you for showing me. I have been needing that for a long time."

Seriously, this girl needed to shrug. A lot.

maybe it's an only child thing. I had three sisters I had to try to be a good example for. not sure how much I succeeded since the trouble found me, anyway.

[ Not that he hadn't found his own trouble, but he'd say a good half of it was Steve's trouble that he'd been dragged into. He'd always regretted none of it, but his mother hadn't exactly been thrilled about the bruises. ]

they were all good. I got into enough trouble for all of us.

[She swallows past the burn in her throat; he knows perfectly well that she knows she's not fine. Not really. Her thirst burns hot in the back of her throat, spreading up her neck and across her scalp. The fact that she can smell blood on their clothes certainly doesn't help, nor does the quickly beating heart of his offer.

He reaches out to touch her arm, and she lets him, even as he begins to gesture to what is obvious.

There are other options, to that point he's wrong, but they're not good ones. And then involve her being a weakness, something he has to protect for as long as this madness lasts.

Her breathes out through her nose harshly, but it's easy to see that she's giving in.]
Fine, if only because at least I know he won't end up dead. [She's frustrated, and it comes out sideways, but she doesn't want to do this.

In part because she knows how much she's going to like it.]

[The answer is disappointing, but Diana had expected as much before even asking. Her attempts to get answers had also been unsuccessful, and there was little reason to believe that others like the first man would be more forthcoming. There was something... not quite right about him. He'd only been concerned with trying to kill her, and had made no effort to pause.

She smirks in return, rolling her shoulders to help rid them of the soreness of defense.]


We should try subduing them first. [There isn't much in her tone to say she believes it's possible--not with the way he'd been mindlessly attacking her. But it's worth a try, probably.]

[personal profile] lilithsoul 2018-04-03 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[She did notice, though her reaction times were still poor. She got the defense up on the right just barely in time. It forced her to roll back more than she would have proved. She still kept her feet, though, trying to sweep at Arya's legs as soon as she recovered.

She was learning, that much was clear.]
list_maker: (fight)

[Finally able to get free once she tackles him Arya scrambles to her feet again. She gets in behind them and pulls out her dagger to slice the man's throat as Maria hold him. Soon he's dust, leaving behind only Maria on one more attacker to their right.] Thank you. [And now the small assassin teen will be even more in awe of you, Maria.]

[Her face lights up, and she nods heartily. There are few things Diana loves more in the world than having her friends close at hand.]

I am! What luck, that we will board together.

[If this were her own world, she would look more into it, for some deeper meaning. But here, on this strange dust-covered planet, she is content to leave it as a happy coincidence.]
lilithsoul: (49)

[personal profile] lilithsoul 2018-04-03 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
No. Nothing like that, but I have been missing someone that I barely know. It is strange, the desire to see that person. We only met once.

[She shrugged once. God, it felt good to do that. She was going to need to thank Chloe for teaching her.]

I suppose it is fair with you. I am not sure if we are friends, but you are closer than most here.

[ His fingers tighten their grip on the ladder, hard enough that the leather creaks. ]

( So. You mean to blame me for something that has yet to occur. )

[ Like his parents.

Like Luke. ]


( How like a Jedi. )

[The outfit, unfortunately, offers little protection from the dust in the air. Though she can't yet hear it, she can feel the slats of metal beginning to grind against one another. It will be an ordeal to clean the armor, but her concern for that will have to come later. A wry smile finds her lips, and can't help but laugh.]

About five minutes ago. And my welcome was a bar of steel aimed at my head.

["Thorny" and "rose", huh... he's sure he'll learn about all that soon enough. For now? He's going to go sit down with Kurama... and his arm still remains around him. It's comfortable, it's warm, and right now... it's the sort of contact he craves.

But why is his mind tugging at him, feeling a need for... Akira, as well...]


I suppose questions are better suited for when we're all seated. For now, we should start off simple.

Akechi Goro.

[Carpet blows past the murderous mob hard and fast, violently knocking aside any who try to attack or hold them there. As soon as they clear their assailants' range, he surges upwards, heading for the nearest flat rooftop he can find. There's no way any of them could follow them up here, right?

Considering how hasty their departure was, he comes to a stop surprisingly gently, floating down to settle flat on the roof. For the moment, he's still once more, as though he'd never been moving at all. It's only polite to let Natasha catch her breath and get her bearings, right?]

[She looked over at him when the message came to her and then out at the city. What was this place? She was aware of the disparity of the two city names, as others had mentioned it, but she had never been to France, and the only European she knew had been raised in Germany. Still, it was obviously not in a good state.]

I suspect it is not much better in my own life, but most places are devastated where I come from. Was it not so for you?

I had plenty of good examples to learn from, I just ignored them until I was older.

[Looking up to the warriors of the Legion didn't mean she was particularly good at following their example--especially when it came to self-discipline. Antiope had taken her to task more than once for being too eager to learn and forgetting her place. Even a princess needed to follow orders if she were to be a true Amazon.]

It sounds as if you had an exciting childhood.

Oh, ya mean the accent?

[ He replaced another set of the floorboards. ]

Believe it or not, I can bust out keigo with the best of 'em. No point in bein' formal around here, though, right?

[Will scrunches up his nose, but he's smiling in spite of himself. It's an anxious, worried smile, but all the same.]

I'll get the first aid kit too. I don't --

-- I can't tell if she's hurt. [His voice drops a little, getting fainter as he tries to reach out, tries to see.]

[There's something more wild in Maria's eyes, as the man is finished off. It's the frenzy taking hold and it's difficult to fight. She had gone mad from it once, but that was made worse with overuse of the church's blood. Luckily, she can hold it down, can maintain her composure to right herself fully. Her hand reaches to her gut, looking down at her bloody glove.]

Young miss, the Hunt grows short for me. Without rest or healing, I will not last the night. [there's no blood veils on her, how she would usually recover in this circumstance, but she's not so wounded to need it. If she retired now, she could stitch the wounds herself and sleep the injuries off... if she didn't, she might grow drunk on the frenzy and lose to the impulses of madness, not something she wants this young warrior to see.]

Will you continue without me or seek shelter, as well? The choice is upon you, I do not presume to know what is best.

[The storm had made a right mess of things. So he might as well in fact be in front of Majima's place of residence at the moment fixing the path. Finn lifts his head when he sees the approaching shadow, giving him a cautious grin.]

Ah, I've got some bags of the dust I've swept out of the sand over by the steps if you wouldn't mind taking them to the natives? [The stuff didn't seem to stick to one another, thankfully.]
