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.

poodlemom: (Where's my boy?)

[personal profile] poodlemom 2018-04-06 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Here, bring a few, in case they need some... [Victor will hand the first bottle to Akechi and go to the dance hall to grab a few others. He can put them in a little scavenger's bag for the boy to take along with him, returning to give that to him, without a fuss. Victor does want to help, this is the best he knows how.]

[Will scrunches up his nose, mulishly, because he wants to be stubborn and secretive, but that's not going to last long. So, finally:]

all of them.

[ she shakes her head reading his sorry, because she doesn't want pity. it's only when she doesn't see it reflected in his face that she can relax and realize he's not feeling sorry for her. (not everything's about you, lorna!)

countless questions flit through her head at reading the rest of what he said. what was wrong with his arm? what did they do to him? more than the arm? mostly lorna can't help but think about war, and what esme said. 'nothing brings people together like hate.' it had bummed lorna out then, and it does now, to think that such similar things might go on in places she's never heard of. is human nature really that predictable? ]


there's going to be a war, where i'm from
because of stuff like that happening back home


[ she likes the arm, but that doesn't mean he wanted it for himself. ]

[ He glances down at his own hand, briefly rubs his thumb and forefinger together; even though the rust runs down his palm in rivulets, zigzagging from the wind, he can still feel some of the grit. ]

Not like anything I've seen, either.

[ He drops his hand, nodding to her own. ] How's that work?

Sally Malik - closed to Isabel

[personal profile] reapercussion 2018-04-06 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ooc: if you want a thread with Sally, though, just hit me up!]

[Sally stares at the pile of blankets and rubs the back of her neck. The clothes are neatly folded, soft sweaters made by better hands than hers, and long scarves. She can see one of her own pitiful creations in the pile.

That one--

That one she's going to keep, just so she doesn't have to deal with the embarrassment of the whole thing. She wraps the green mess of yarn around her neck before looking up at Isabel with a grin.]


i feel like we're going to be door-to-door salesmen, except
you know, no money

[ Steve's never exactly been prone to worrying unduly. Perhaps selfishly, he was always too preoccupied with deflecting worry from himself, and in turn he's tried to give those he cares about a certain amount of the faith he wasn't always handed freely. What fears he has he prefers to meet head on, with action one way or another.

There hasn't been much he could do for Bucky until very recently, unless you count indirect ways like taking out the remains of Hydra, which he would've done regardless. Barring that, all he's really had is worry, and no small amount of regrets. It's stuck, like the guilt and the grief.

Still, he can keep those to himself, and keep an eye on things in the meantime.
]

Well, it's good to see you. [ He'd been prepared to wait much longer than this. He wipes some of the water from his face. ] Looks like things are calming down out here, wherever the hell that is.
personify: (mysterious)

[personal profile] personify 2018-04-06 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her image of him is confused to begin with, so the idea of him knitting only adds to that confusion. There's a smile on her lips, the mild flirtation fighting it's way back to the surface.] Well, if you ever do graduate to pillows, yes, be sure to send one my way.

Let's switch it up.

[ She's got the pole, and he doesn't have the shield. He shifts so his back is to hers, a familiar rhythm. ]

(That, for some reason, makes Eddie smile a little bit.)

So I'm guessing that includes me then?

(That smile becomes a grin as he looks over at Will.)

why?

(Are you even surprised?) (There's a light, airy note of amusement in Eddie's voice, like he's trying not to laugh. It helped that Jake sounded fond. Did he like that about Eddie?

Welcome to loving Eddie Kaspbrak. He's choked Bill out a few times, especially because the height difference.

In speaking of height difference...)


(You're getting taller than me, what the hell?)

(To be fair, Jake had already been a little taller than Eddie- who wasn't? But now...Eddie slides back to look at Jake, sulking fully because he had to tip his head a little to look at him now.

Yet. At the same time, he begrudgingly and...with an odd sense to be particularly honest...admits:)


(I like it.)

(They could probably talk normally, considering they were in the house, but speaking like this always felt a little more private. It made Eddie feel special. He slides his hands off of Jake. Or rather, slides a hand off of him. The other finds Jake's hand and he tangles their fingers together so that he could walk them a bit more properly into his room.)

(Next time we can let each other know.)
rockypath: (look at my face)

[personal profile] rockypath 2018-04-07 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Fuck, yes. I'm in. I don't need to watch everyone like this other me better. And I think we could make a better go of it than that. Maybe at least a month. [She's only half joking. She's insecure enough without seeing someone else having lived her life better than she had.]
poppycock: (#10259337)

[personal profile] poppycock 2018-04-07 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
( prerogative notwithstanding, there's little to gain to killing someone he could have easily watched die. regardless, he's past the issue of gratitude; he's moved onto goading curiosity. ) Yes, you were. ( he agrees with all alacrity. ) Quite impressive, those moves of yours; where did you learn them?

sometimes war is necessary

[ Bucky can't imagine a world where the US didn't join the Allies. He can't imagine a world where they could let the Nazis just go around killing people and terrorizing others. That's not a world he can believe in and he doesn't regret enlisting, even for all the pain he'd experienced after. ]

can't let people get taken advantage of or bullied just because they're different
good guys don't abduct people and experiment on them, even if they are criminals
list_maker: (which way?)

[personal profile] list_maker 2018-04-07 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Arya grins back, reaching for the weapons she set down. One of them a long elaborate dagger.] I can spar with knives too. If you ever want.

Tetora also seems to like it knife fighting, if you know him. But he also like the stabbing part. [Which Arya didn't mind, either. But she'd be willing to curtail the urge.]

[ He wants to. Feels it keenly, actually, but that doesn't strike him as so strange. He knows about missing the people closest to him. He's never been stupid enough not to be grateful for her, had worked hard to have her at his side in the first place. He's not embarrassed now to have felt the loss of it, or to have the relief show on his face. It would be a hard and thankless job keeping it from her anyway.

The blanket shifts slightly under his hand as he sets it down briefly preceding the rest of him. He meets her eyes, then glances down at the book in front of her without really seeing it.
]

I had a dream before I woke up here, but I don't think it was really a dream.
lednikovyy: CW (And we're all dead now)

[personal profile] lednikovyy 2018-04-07 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's a sinking feeling in Bucky's chest that he hadn't noticed until he started to feel the relief of it at Steve's words. The two of them have been through quite a bit together. They've seen each other weak and vulnerable and neither of them have ever been anything but glad for it.

A part of Bucky still wants to run and hide what he is now from Steve, but he's not going to do that. Maybe the braver thing to do is admit that a part of him really needs Steve to heal, even when he's not sure he deserves it.
]

It's good to see you, too, buddy.

[ And he means it as much as he ever has, voice not quite as even as he might have liked, so naturally he changes the topic as quickly as he can. ]

Have they told you what this place is? We're going to have to be silent once the rain stops.
list_maker: (I was never the pretty one)

[personal profile] list_maker 2018-04-07 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
You're amazing too. I've never seen anything like what you just did. [Whatever powers she possesses are beyond anything Arya's ever heard of before. Taking up beside her on her, Needle out and ready, she occasionally passes a glance at Maria's wound and how the woman is faring.

Pushing her wet bangs from her face, she trudges on. Then- Arya points to their left. There's a shape of something square. A home? A building?]
Over there! Come on, it's not too much further. [She hopes Maria can make it there. She doesn't look too good.]

[Leo's never had any form of formal schooling, but he's pretty sure most mutations in humans caused things like double joints and red hair, not this. Still, he seems pretty nonplussed by the answer Raven gives him.]

That is one hell of a mutation.
thechristmasnazi: (hide smile)

[personal profile] thechristmasnazi 2018-04-07 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ Isabel shakes her head, staring at the provisions they’re supposed to pass around. She’s pretty glad that she wasn’t assigned to knitting duty. There are many things that she’s good at, but knitting is not one of them. If she was forced to take up a pair of needles her work would probably make Sally feel really good about that scarf she’d made. ]

At least it’s something people need and not commemorative plates or something.

[ She shrugs her shoulders with a tiny smile. ]
personify: (surprise)

[personal profile] personify 2018-04-07 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
I learned them over time. Out of necessity. These things, whatever they are, aren't the first who've wanted to kill me for no good reason. [Does she sound bitter? Well, that's because she is.]

What about you? Where did you learn your 'moves'?

Second World War.

[ He doesn't mind answering the question, though he's starting to get the idea that not everyone here shares the same history, the first hint being the city itself. ]
personify: (will shoot you)

[personal profile] personify 2018-04-07 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a pained look in her eyes. Raven's quite sensitive about the way she looks, so it's hard not to take the words as some kind of insult. Looking away a moment, she stamps down the emotion, hardening herself.] It's more than that. More than the way I look. This is my true form.

I'm a shapeshifter. I can look like anyone.
lednikovyy: CW (Gonna take off all my skin)

[personal profile] lednikovyy 2018-04-07 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
bet it'll be a great month, too.

[ He's not even sure if he's joking, but he really wishes he could still get drunk. ]
rockypath: (<3)

[personal profile] rockypath 2018-04-07 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Probably better if we could make noise. [Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Faith grins, having been unable to resist the open invitation to flirt.]
byanyother_name: (Mostly harmless)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2018-04-07 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Kurama considered the offer for a moment, judging his energy levels. He could continue hunting down and eliminating the dust attackers, but he would probably do it better and longer with a break.

So he nodded, finally.]
