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.

[ Castle worked to confuse him further. The man scrambled for the phone and showed him a brief message. Luke felt around the jumpsuit and found his device as Frank was heading for the door. Okay.

They were in a room alone. He didn't understand the sudden need to relocate but gave Castle the benefit of the doubt. Cautiously, Luke followed him out and tested his powers on the way (sliding the top of his hand across an edge to see if it would cut him, crushing a solid surface with his grip). He couldn't help but keep a vigilant glance around for Kilgrave. ]

[ Though he heard the sound of the lock turning, Logan chooses not to ask about it. It's either a figment of his imagination or something else entirely -- and besides, what matters is that he gets this girl someplace to fix her up, and he goes to the kitchen just as she indicated.

Walking to the nearest chair, he lowers himself enough for her to get off him and sit down. Once that's done, he makes a gesture to her coat with his hand before jerking his thumb over his shoulder. That's gotta go.

It's been years since he's had to patch anyone up -- it's been years since Logan was at war and it was necessary -- but he likes to think he won't be presented with anything too awful. ]

[ Bucky nods easily. The storm had been new and from what he's gathered, it's not a common thing here, either. It had brought him at least a few people that he's cautiously optimistic to see here, at least. ]

I went out into it when I realized that people were out there who might need help. did you get here during the storm?

[ It feels like several lifetimes ago, but Bucky guesses it was exciting when he was living it. So many things have changed that the memories seem mundane now, but mundanity is something he craves a little. He doesn't want to be bored, but he wouldn't mind some cookie cutter aspects of life that he's been sorely lacking in being on the run. ]

it wasn't too dull. I grew up in Brooklyn. where are you from?

[ And Logan does follow. He stays behind the other man for the most part, on high alert with his claws unsheathed.

It's just more convenient, especially when his head turns sharply and he's suddenly disappearing into the mess of rain and dust. If the guy wonders what it is he's doing, the distinct sound of metal piercing flesh and Logan's own snarling might be enough, muffled as it is around all the noise.

He returns, though, and flicks off the blood-dust that'd covered his knuckles when he sunk his claws into them. ]


You know where you're going?

same. I've experienced some weird things, but this is a new level. I think is it some sort of alternate dimension thing. some people's world histories don't line up.

[ People could be lying, sure, but it's a pretty elaborate lie and Bucky's biggest fan had seemed to believe in the concept when he wasn't telling Bucky how great that other Bucky is. ]

[ Logan just assumes the worst automatically, really. Even more so now that he believes he's caused the end of the world with his failure.

Remembering the place he'd woken up in before the storm, how everything was broken down and destroyed... it reminds him too much of the Sentinel War. ]


I don't know what makes a monster. [ Whatever it is, he thinks maybe he'd make the cut. ]

You read the information pack on the device yet? About the shit that goes down here.

Sound Eaters hear you breathe from God knows how far away. Don't think you can make it into their nest and live.

[ he's strangely relieved to see that device in luke's hand. and that feeling only grows when they leave the reset room. there's something about being inside that room that just feels so stifling. to say nothing of how little he trusts the natives. the second his feet hit the familiar sandpath he's typing, not feeling like they're being watched anymore. ]

there's a vaccine
i'm almost a month in
it works


[ frank turns to meet the man's eyes, his own gaze a little wild as he waits for that information to sink in. ]

[Like this? Does he mean magical? That seems likely. Therein lies the same problem as asking what his birthday is, though--he has no idea. He just doesn't remember. Master hadn't thought it was important to keep track originally, so neither had he.]

I don't know exactly how long? But I've been alive for thousands of years!

[Get off his lawn, you damn whippersnappers!]

[ Logan blinks at that, then looks in both directions with lightly furrowed brows. Both paths smell the same, so is there really any difference?

He looks up at the moon, though, and finds that it shines more towards the left than the right. So he heads there, no sound made save for the brief rustle of grass, but even then it sounds like the wind is moving them in a soft breeze more than it is like someone's walking.

He holds his hand out too, in case she'd like to take it. Logan can smell the uncertainty in her scent, and as he looks back his expression runs something along the lines of if you don't want to go, we can head back. ]

[Probably for the best at the moment. She wouldn't say anything about it anyway because El's not supposed to use her powers in front of other people. But she's already quickly learning that not everyone here is like her friends - people without abilities.

El lets go of his neck and plops down in the chair, even more tired than she had been. Yet doesn't miss it when he motions to the coat and signals for her to get rid of it.

So she leans forward to tug off the damp and dust caked clothing, setting it on the table. Thankfully the coat was thick and prevented the knife from going too deep.]

[ Having been alive for only two centuries, the thought of thousands fills him with an empathetic sort of misery. ]

What did you do?

[ Without the layer of the coat in the way, the smell of blood on skin is far stronger than the scent of the coppery dust was. He crinkles his nose in response to it, then makes a brief lifting motion with his hands on the hem of his shirt to expose part of his belly. He doesn't need her to take it off -- he just needs to see the wound.

He takes his attention off her, though, to find some utensils in the kitchen. He fills a bowl with water and sets that on the table by the chair, then disappears to find a cloth, a rag -- anything, really, in this house that he can use to gently wash the dirt and blood away.

Logan returns as soon as he finds what looks to be a jumpsuit. It smells clean to him, despite not being worn for a few weeks, so he pulls a single claw out of his hand as he walks to cut part of it off to use as a rag. The remaining cloth is put on the table for later, and Logan dips the small piece in the water before bending to clean the girl's wound.

He'll look up, though, before doing it, waiting for her go signal -- if she's okay with this. ]
dapalis: (『 want to take it away 』)

[personal profile] dapalis 2018-04-04 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
that's fine. i don't mind.

[ Yuu just sighed and shook his head to signify he really didn't mind any. Just being alone right now was not seeming all that favorable. ]

no. maybe. i don't know. i just had this whole weird thing where i suddenly want to be around someone else. dunno where it came from.

I had masters and lived with them! And usually Genie too. Then I waited in a cave for a long time until someone found us. And then we became friends, and helped him win the princess' heart, and defeat an evil sorcerer, and set Genie free! And then I showed up here a few months ago.

[An apt emotion, considering the ten thousand years of forced isolation, and what kind of life a slave that isn't even human might be expected to lead.]

yeah
got dropped off in kentucky first
then ended up here in the thick of it


[ some welcome, that's for sure. at least he seems like he made it out all right; that's about as much as they can all hope for. ]

[ It was instinct to reach toward the dog for a greeting. The last thing Luke expected was for the canine to have a device. He crouched down to take a closer look. I'll be. He stood up to check his device, and sure enough, there was a message. Luke narrowed his eyes, finding it hard to believe this was actually happening. He looked between the dog and the device. Upsilon, huh?

With an arched brow, he typed on the device--glancing around as he did. ]


No. You?

[ The message came through with username Gifted. Luke kept a check of his surroundings, continuing to glance at the dog before him. ]

I ran away from a few. But most of them weren't bad!

[Ran away and took the lamp with him, because Genie didn't deserve to be left with bad people like those, either. Sometimes there were even more than the two of them, too; he's had escaped slaves as masters before.]

I don't think I've ever been to Kentucky
was it ravaged like it is here?


[ He won't pretend he's not curious about the rest of the world. France isn't entirely unfamiliar for him, but he wonders about all of the other places he's been. This can't be all that's left, right? ]

[ Ah.

Logan's hand ruffles briefly over Fuwa-chan's fabric again in what is most definitely an affectionate stroke. ]


That's good you ran away from the bad ones.

You fly pretty fast?
gimmesometassel: (Excited)

[personal profile] gimmesometassel 2018-04-04 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[More nuzzles~ ♥ And then an enthusiastic nod.]

Really fast! But not as fast as Supergirl. She beat me when we raced.

"Hello to you too, Jessica." Maybe he was a little out of sorts. Luke reached unconsciously for the back of his neck but was stopped by the standard issue wear. His plan was to knead out the tension in his neck. Mission derailed so he loosely folded his arms over his chest, device in hand. "I haven't read anything. Can't even remember what the locals said thanks to doing the time warp with Frank Castle riding shotgun."

He watched for her reaction, certain he'd read something. Had Castle given her the head's up on his arrival? Luke knew better than to mention Kilgrave regardless of antidote. If what Frank said had any merit to it, Jessica would cut to the chase in her own way...like she had in her greeting.

basically
looked abandoned for a while


[ she's curious too, especially since thor had made the decision to house what was left of their people on earth. she has a feeling this wasn't exactly what he had in mind. ]

we're an anomaly
makes you wonder what makes us special.

Who's Supergirl?

[ Logan's not going to bother wondering why this is the most normal conversation he's had since coming here. He pats the carpet where he'd seen the nod happening, assuming that's a good estimate for where his head is.

Damn it, it's just like having a dog. Except the dog is sentient and probably smarter than he is. ]
