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.

[ That still doesn't tell him much, and he's about to say so, the lines deep on his forehead, between his brow. But then Bucky continues and it all smooths out at once in a reserved sort of stricken way. ] Tony's here.

[ He looks Bucky over again, like he wouldn't have immediately noticed any injuries from a fight. There's nothing, of course, but from what he's been able to tell (admittedly not a lot) Bucky heals quickly, like him. And he hasn't seen Tony yet. He presses his lips together briefly before speaking. ]

He given you a hard time?

I've got a couch. It's nothing to write home about though. Kind of lumpy, but it will do.

But I've slept in worse places.
[She hasn't always had a home, after all.] You could probably find something to sleep on if you actually looked. Or do you like sleeping on cement?

[ She's tried hard not to think about what might have been if he hadn't died to save the world. It's what she had to do to make it through - losing Sunnydale and the inherent trust she'd one had for her friends had been hard enough without those bittersweet wonderings. And she doesn't want to think about it now, some part of her terrified that this will have have been some strange dream and he'll still be gone when she wakes. For now, it just seems better to be.

Her instincts are on autopilot as they move through the house and she subconsciously takes note of the work done to soundproof the spaces, as well as the various exits. It's not until following that prompting to sit that she rouses from her stupor enough to smile up at him. ]
I'm glad you're here, Spike.

No problem. Enjoy.

[ And while Finn was busy with his glass, Majima would take the bags of dust off to the natives. He'd return with the empties slung over his forearm. ]

They said thanks for the hard work. Also, to take a break 'cause you guys are ahead of schedule.

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-04-03 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yeah, I think so, too.

You guys still got takoyaki?

her name is kali
no she didnt come here too
i cant find her at all


[Somewhere, America. She doesn't know just how much Majima knows about her abilities but that last part says more than it seems.]

[ Unsurprisingly, it took some time for the natives to track down all those who were dropped into the middle of the dust and rain storm. Despite the circumstances and lack of good answers, Steve had only been too glad to hand over his wet, filthy clothes, even if the dark blue jumpsuit he'd been given in exchange wasn't exactly to his taste. He's had to wear worse. It'd only been touch and go when they had wanted to take his compass, too, but Steve had been able to show that it opened soundlessly, well cared for despite its old hinges.

It means that getting settled into the houses has been staggered, and then Steve was busy figuring out how to get himself clean without making a sound — so he knows Thor's around, but hasn't seen hide nor hair of him until evening falls. So the sudden desire to seek him out and maybe spend some time with the guy doesn't strike Steve as that out of place.

Turns out they're on opposite sides of the house, though Steve doesn't get all the way there — which is convenient, because he's not sure how to make his presence known without knocking or respecting someone's privacy. But Thor is on his way out or in, it seems, Steve finding him in the hallway. He smiles at Thor's mouthed greeting, even as his brow furrows, making it a more concerned expression. He points to his own right eye as though to indicate Thor's patch.

It shouldn't be hard to understand the question, so Steve doesn't bother with the device just yet.

[ He shakes his head slightly, looking at her at that. She's young, and he presses his lips together briefly with a sigh no louder than the breeze. ]

It's like this some places, where there are wars, but not all. [ He pauses for a moment, considering. ] I fought here, at least where I come from, but that was a long time ago. It shouldn't look like this anymore.

I'm ready now. Is that too soon? [Arya isn't one to waste time. She's already sought out help from others here, but is all too glad to take further help as offered. Especially from Diana.

Sure she's in the middle of a cemetery. But she'd been nearly done anyway. Her family would understand her drive to learn anyways. She's doing it all for them to begin with.]

[ the homesickness is shared, breath caught in her chest and chased shortly after by cold guilt that slides down her spine like the rain that seeps through her armor. her mouth is dry, throat threatening to close up as she blinks away the memory of glimmering white gold, long blond hair haloed by warm winds and sunlight.

she swallows, nods once as she flicks red dust and rain water off her blade. she'd thought that she'd get over it after watching surtur set asgard and hela on fire, but it figures that she'd never be able to shake it off, now three worlds away from home.
]

I'll take left, [ she says, just as a new group of dusters burst through the storm. ] You got right?

Nothing I can't handle.

[ given half a moment of thought, he thinks better off that flippant comment. Stark hasn't exactly been the easiest to deal with, but he really hasn't given Bucky any real trouble, just grief. ]

I've managed not to punch him. He's managed not to punch me. I don't think we have to worry.

[ that's not to say Bucky hasn't wanted to punch him. There's even a part of him that wanted to get punched for a minute there, caught between his guilt and misguided notion that letting Stark hit him might give him the upper hand for a little while. He recognizes that it's not the healthiest approach, but he can't entirely promise himself he won't try again. ]

[Eddie may notice a slowly seething rage building in Raven's yellow eyes as she reads further and further along his message about Logan's daughter. What happened to her. The lab. Experiments. It reminds her painfully of Trask and Stryker. The things she saw that she nearly murdered a man in cold blood over. A decision that she still thinks on now and wonders on. Could she have still made that choice and avoided the terrible future? If anyone deserved death it was men like him.

And men and women who experimented on mutants. And children? Her jaw is tight.]
I hope they paid for what they did to her.
swig: i'm not interested (unless it involves a lot of whiskey)

[ he keeps reminding her of a younger thor somehow and he's already too loud. the dust storm at least gave her something else to focus on, but she doesn't have that luck here. ]

probably
the welcome committee could use some work


[ she's turning back down the sandpath toward town hall; easier to talk there and she doesn't have to fuck around with texting if he's going to hang around. ]

[Arya looks pleased that she's picking it up so quickly. It's not as though she enjoys beating someone up just for the hell of it. Unless they deserved it. It feels good that she can teach Rei something. She needs to jump to avoid the sweep, but it does manage to catch one of her feet, which causes her to stumble and nearly tumble right to the ground when she tries to find her footing again.

Smiling, she jumps back. And Arya will come back again. And again. Once more. Each time trying to switch up her movements with each pass and with each attack Rei is learning more and also getting in a few good cracks at Arya.

The young assassin is grateful for the challenge too.]

I am very good at walking quietly but I will avoid it until necessary.

[If only because Eddie had asked him to be more careful. He didn't want to make his friend worry too much.]

I was trained to seek out medicinal herbs. Some of the local gardens have wild ones growing. I will add books and medicine bottles to my search list. Could you give me some keywords to look for?

[It hasn't been a decade, not for her, but nine months in her lifetime might as well be ten years. Enough had certainly happened in that time, and he'd kept his promise to stay away and to let her live her life.

Some life that had turned into.

Him being here with her? He didn't have any control over that. And she'd be lying if she said that, in this moment, she wasn't really happy she wasn't alone.

Without thinking about it, her shoulders relax, and she leans her head sideways to gently settle on his shoulder. She sighs gently, almost sadly, and whispers so softly that had he been human, he still wouldn't have heard her even this close.]


This place sucks.

Teddy considers the man before him, watching with a slight tilt of his head. Luke approaches without a scent of fear and no aggressive body language, and Teddy relaxes marginally, the tension in his muscles ebbing away by parts. He stands, and the end of his tail twitches in a restrained wag, always careful of the noise he makes around this community of people under his charge. The man's scent is added to the canine's mental memory map of all the people living in the city.

Seeing Luke approach, he decides to muster the effort of a greeting. It's his responsibility as co-leader to make sure everyone knows they can come to him for anything, isn't it? The device slotted into the metal collar around his neck lights up with a soft green light and he tilts his head up to keep his eyes on Luke's. Luke's device will receive a short message with the username upsilon

Are you injured?
persevere: (narcissa10)

[personal profile] persevere 2018-04-04 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
seriously? they just randomly showed up? that seems super suspicious.

[She wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth if it happened to her, though.]

guess i'll keep my fingers crossed.

[She seems to realize she's forgotten something, shooting off a quick message and looking a little embarrassed.]

oh i'm caroline, btw
underachievement: do you battle them? (i dont know how fidget spinners work)

oh np you werent waiting long :x

Luke always looked comfortable, side effect of impenetrable skin, she's guessed. Now she knows what he looks like when he's not. Only a crazy person wouldn't be. To her, the suits come off real cult-y. He's got worse connotations, no doubt. If she had anything that would fit him, it's the firt thing she'd offer. In three months, she should have accrued some random guys' shirts, but Kilgrave's presence has reshuffled her priorities.

"What have you read?" seems like a good place to start. There's a whole hell of a lot they leave out of the welcome speech and arriving is such a disorienting experience, all but the gist often goes by the wayside.

...Right.

[A what? A vessel?

Okay, lady, she's just gonna go with it because that's easier than asking too many questions or having to answer them in return.

At least she's done this before, so the strange sensation of a mouth pulling against her wound isn't as weird as it might have been the first couple of times. Vampiric blood always did the trick pretty quickly, thankfully, and then they could get on their way.]


Better?

[Arya stares at her, certainly taking note of the odd gleam now in Maria's eyes and then down. She's wounded! As though Arya would just leave the woman who's just saved her to fend for herself! Her head shakes vehemently at the thought.] I'll come with you, of course!
