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.

The Sight of Lightning

[ Every time the dust storms came, they seemed to bring some new, unlucky event with them -- only this time, they'd also coincided with the new arrivals that seemed to be popping up like clockwork each month.

After a rather trying evening, Majima was checking in on some of these, and looking for anyone who looked particularly lost. ]


Hey there. You alright? Got any questions?

[ ooc: I'm assuming only platonic friendship-type stuff here if that's all right! ]

[Well, Caroline definitely looks lost. She's not entirely sure what she's even looking for, but sitting inside her newly acquired room now that the storm was over just didn't feel right.

At least, by this point, she's had some instruction on how life works here, even if she doesn't understand it or why it's happening. Still, she only really knows one person here, and she's still not even entirely sure how she feels about him being the one she's stuck here with, and she doesn't want to think about it too much.

Meeting someone new, especially someone friendly, sounds like a good distraction. She fiddles with her new device, typing out something with the hands of a very practiced texter.]


only like a million, but they're probably questions no one really has the answer to.

so, how about i start with what's your name?


[/thumbs up totally works for me!]

justbeingknife: (what was that?)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-03-29 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Some trip, huh?

It's Gorō Majima. But just Majima's fine. What should I call you?


[ It looked like Caroline had a leg up here. It had taken Majima, a former resident of the 80's, a little while to get up to speed -- as well as to get used to the idea of easily portable phones. With screens, even. ]

Understatment.

[Russia had been enough, but now she was apparently in France? Somehow? It looked more like some post-apocalyptic horror movie.]

Caroline Forbes. So, you didn't just get here too?
justbeingknife: (you're stained black)

[ He shook his head. ]

Nah.

Been here 'bout two months now. Maybe a little less.
persevere: (treatyoself4)

[personal profile] persevere 2018-04-02 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Two months sounds like a lifetime at the moment.]

Does it storm like that here often?
justbeingknife: (what the hell)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-04-03 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ IT REALLY FELT LIKE IT. ]

Maybe once a month, but I ain't ever seen that happen before. People comin' along with the dust, I mean.

And disappearin' like they were damn ghosts? Ain't seen anything like it.

[personal profile] persevere 2018-04-04 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
What is that dust stuff, anyway? Is it magical?
justbeingknife: (it's a cage)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-04-04 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
No one really knows... but it's kinda hard to explain it as anything else.

Tony took a look at it before, but I ain't think even he could figure out how it does a different damn thing every time it shows up.
persevere: (treatyoself4)

[personal profile] persevere 2018-04-05 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Who's Tony and why would it matter if he looked at it instead of anyone else?
justbeingknife: (looking up)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-04-05 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. 'cause he's just about the only person around who could do an analysis on the dust. He's a scientist.
persevere: (easycompany-tvd8x15-104)

[personal profile] persevere 2018-04-09 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh okay, gotcha. Makes sense.

So the main point here is to avoid the dust. Right?
justbeingknife: (profile2)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-04-09 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
When it's stormin' like that? Yeah, I'd say so.

[ He shook his head. ]

Every time it's happened, somethin' bad's gone down right along with it.

[personal profile] persevere 2018-04-13 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, so the dust+storm thing wasn't a one-time thing. Good to know.]

What else has happened?
