MOD LOG #3



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.

voidmage: (I can see you in my mind)

[Yeah, it's pretty bad out there. Though it could have been worse and this isn't the most horrifying thing El has ever seen. Hopefully Will won't get queasy every time she has a bloody nose from using her powers. She doesn't take a seat on the couch, instead sitting in front of it so as to not get wet, red dust smeared everywhere on the fabric.

Then stares at the mural while Will disappears into the house. A castle. Like Castle Byers in the forest. Her eyes move over it trying to take in every detail. It's a lot better than anything El's ever drawn.]
dapalis: (『 i've finally given in 』)

it's all good \o/

[ Stranger or not. This nagging feeling to put himself close to another person hadn't been going away and it just felt like anyone would do at this point; it'd fill that weird emptiness he'd been feeling in his chest. ]

Can I just... hang out with you for a bit? Know it sounds weird but can't get rid of this odd feeling right now.
misplacesfriends: (✩ Going nowhere fast)

[personal profile] misplacesfriends 2018-04-03 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, yeah, same to you, I guess. [He does a half salute since that's all he can do (no fancy hat yet) and turns to look for someone else to help.]
misplacesfriends: (☐ The other to someone else)

[personal profile] misplacesfriends 2018-04-03 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Finn straightens fully and blinks as Majima disappears. Uh, thanks?] Thanks.

[Takes the glass when it's offered to him and takes a long drink, not realizing how thirsty he actually was.] Kind of got focused on the paths.

[ he stops too, realizing his mistake instantly and reaching for her arm. ] It's okay. That's normal or so I hear
historyrabbit: (look φ Some turn to dust)

[personal profile] historyrabbit 2018-04-03 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
So red hair still isn't a popular color in other worlds? Used to be in a place where there were a lot of them at one time, we all had various shades of it. Two could've passed for brothers of mine, if I had family.

I don't think I've heard this legend before, you'll have to tell me more about this Hiryuu. If it's something of your culture you're allowed to pass on to strangers.

[ She doesn't flinch at the violence in front of her, turns to the side as another one comes at her with a frying pan — the look on her face is both disgusted and confused — and reaches out to grab their face and neck, snapping it in one smooth motion. ]

There are kids here? I can't leave them. I'm sorry.

So, then, the questions are:

1. closed log/thread it out here.
2. who starts?
3. how do we want to disperse the information after the fact? my concern is the theater, specifically, since as soon as it's known that something weird is happening there everyone is going to want to take a peek inside.
byanyother_name: (would smell as sweet)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2018-04-03 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
Should I call you Goro-kun, then?

[Oh, this is dangerous. He shouldn't have asked that. Allowing himself to call Akechi by his first name, even with a suffix, isn't just edging into risky territory, it's waltzing recklessly straight past the barbed wire and signs proclaiming 'No Man's Land' to take an afternoon stroll.

Of course, that's kind of what being a Phantom Thief is all about.

Which might be the reason that, when he sees the darker flicker in Akechi's expression, instead of pretending he didn't notice anything, Kurama reaches into his hair and pulls out a perfectly blooming yellow rose. He taps the soft petals against Akechi's nose before offering it to him.]

That's a very kind offer.
byanyother_name: (Just looking)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2018-04-03 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Kurama listens as Akira- no, he has to be Kurusu to him, doesn't he? -as Kurusu explains, eyes sharp and focused, expression attentive.

The fact that there is another version of Akira Kurusu here is distracting and painful at the core but Kurama knows how to focus.

He nods steadily when the teenager finishes.]

I believe I understand to a degree. Thank you. Is there anywhere in particular I should be directing the less combat-capable?

( Take that back. )

[ Rather than the sharp crackle-snap of anger this is something brittle and jagged, cutting past the usual raw spots to the soft beating heart of him. Worse than that, she knowsㅡ

She knows. ]

[ Flaying him open brings her no pleasure. She had thought it would ease some of the ache, but it merely deepens, resounding painfully through her.

At this rate, she can't discern the stormy mess of his emotions from her own scattered, chaotic mix.
]

( You're right. Luke Skywalker admitted his mistakes. You just run from them. )

[ It feels like taking a splinter and digging it further, twisting mercilessly, but her voice still chokes as if she were saying it aloud: frayed, distressed. ]

( He was a better man than you were. )
purpose: (tlj_682)

[personal profile] purpose 2018-04-03 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ The damage done, compared to the minor scuffs and scrapes that had covered him after the ambush on Crait, isn't cause for alarm. His question, on the other hand, is; as she pulls back, Rey's smile slips, from relieved elation to barely concealed worry.

Perhaps he hit his head harder than any of them had thought.
]

We just saw each other, Finn.

[ Surely he hasn't forgotten already. There hadn't been much time for any reunion as they'd packed themselves into the Falcon, frantic and desperate, but he had seen her. Brows knitting together, she quickly dismisses, convinced it's merely a matter of catching up.

She exhales heavily, hardly aware that she'd been holding her breath, as she tries for a reassuring smile rather than the pensive frown she had been wearing.
]

I still have so much to tell you.

[ And so much she doesn't feel that she can, for fear of judgement, but it's a start. ]
purpose: (( now ain't that romantic. ))

[personal profile] purpose 2018-04-03 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ You had to do what you had to do draws a surprised glance from Rey, but she stays mute on the subject. He had known of her when they had met, after all; she can only assume that Finn had told Poe more than she had originally assumed.

Tempting as it is to probe him further, the topic at hand deters her quickly. Her eyebrows pinch in bewilderment and concern, glancing to the area behind Poe's shoulder as she thinks about her encounters. Somehow, knowing her assailant hadn't been human is a comfort after having witnessed the sickening crunch of the woman's bones and her pained thrashing, almost inhuman in its movements.
]

Is that common? [ After a moment, she clarifies: ] Facing those things here.

[ And just like that the tension snaps. Except that rather than an explosive display he merely steps back off the ladder, landing with a muted thump on the soft earth.

He pulls himself up to his full height, shoulders pulling back as he stretches. Controlled, again. Composed.

He bends to gather up the toolbox and its spilled contents. ]


( I'll send someone to finish the job. )

[ Given that that person is Margo, house seven can expect to enjoy glitch-y wiring and malfunctions in the future. ]


purpose: (( i'm sure you know you have my soul. ))

[personal profile] purpose 2018-04-03 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ Something close to disappointment curdles in her stomach, now than an outlet for her frustration has been torn away from her. Her stomach drops out from beneath her, but she ignores it with a grimace. ]

( Running like usual. I shouldn't have expected anything else from you. )

[ Childish and spiteful, she can't resist having the final say, taking her leave of him on her own terms. Rey won't be the one that has to face a turned back if she can help it, certain she wouldn't be able to stomach the sight of someone else walking away from her — leaving her behind, once again — without crumbling. ]

( Stay away from this house. )

[ And with that, she turns before the moisture in her eyes has a chance to dampen her cheeks further, stomping a path back into the house in question. ]
swig: and I’ve also seen him rip shirtsleeves off with his teeth and I can’t tell if I’m intrigued or not (like i’ve seen him completely trashed)

[personal profile] swig 2018-04-03 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ everything is a little blurry and for once it's not entirely because of alcohol, despite the jar of the stuff she's sipping from after leaving her new lodgings. spike's already in front of her before she can sidestep him though, and she squints at him and then his device.

she knows she's been saved a couple times and has saved others just as much, but it's not as if she'd hung around trying to get to know people in a dust storm. she shrugs,

[ A nod -- there's no time like the present, he has nowhere better to be -- and then he gestures, one-handed, toward one of the aisles. A path that leads toward the reading tables. ]

You're new, then.

[ It's a statement of fact rather than a question, though "new" might be relative in this case when arrivals pour into Reims with a seemingly a regularity. ]

Kylo Ren.

1. Closed log lets us keep track of it better especially if this log manages to overflow
2. I have no preference wrt this
3. Mass network post perhaps?

[ If anything, it only serves to reinforce Alex's opinion of him, that such people should perhaps be slayed instead.

Of course, that's hardly the most important thing on his mind right now. He parries the woman's strike, cuts at her with his sword, striking her with the flat of the blade instead of its point. Somehow, her attention is completely on him - which means he has to smack her in the head to knock her out.

— his swing might have brought his sword whistling past Kilgrave's ear. But his strike is true, honed by years of battlefield experience, and their assailant is down after what seems like an eternity (but is probably just two minutes).

He could take a step forward and behead her, just like how he was asked to behead people who once fought at his side. But he does not, at least not right now. Instead, he leaves her in the dust, unconscious, and turns to the person he was defending.

His voice is quiet, without emotion. ]


Why are you here?

[ He peels the fruit as he talks, his gestures much more careful and delicate than his size might suggest. ]

I choose to call them that. They are illusions, albeit realistic ones.

[ They even ping in his Echo sight, but... they were still dust, in the end. A flicker of tiredness crosses his face, but he forces it down quickly. ]

... what do you think?

1. I agree. It also makes it more back tag friendly?
2. Neither do I.
3. That works. In terms of using the information acquired to lead to some kind of player plot, possibly the network could double as a way to look at ways to get into the theater.

It was a classified, land-based weapon. I am not sure about speaking about the details just yet, however. That may change in time.
