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 moment the metal flashes through her sight, Raven's eyes go wide and she's unable to stop the breath of relief as the person holding her crumples.] Erik...? [She coughs, blinking through the dust to try and see him.

But no- it's not him at all. Stumbling and regaining her footing, Raven follows after her. Now is hardly the time for questions. She ducks under the flying metal and green energy cutting through the red dust.

Another attacker comes up between them and Raven reacts on instinct. Leaping up, her legs wrap around the man's neck and she flips him over in a practiced movement. But she leaves him there and keeps moving. Getting back to her on feet, she chases after the woman she presumes is another mutant.]

[ lorna looks back just to make sure she's being followed. stops when the blue girl does to flip him, waiting for her to run past before she calls on her powers again, bending a lamppost over to wrap around the attacker's neck to pin them down so they can't follow.

then she'll run to catch up, not wanting to lose sight of the other mutant. both for solidarity and her fierce urge to protect. ]


Nice moves.

[ if she could flip a man like that with her legs, she would do it ALL the time. ]

You with Hellfire?

Thanks. You too. [Hers are more effective at warding off this many attackers. Raven will get tired, eventually. The question causes her eyes to narrow, but she still runs beside Lorna.]

The group started by Sebastian Shaw? [Raven dodges an attack, twisting the mans arm and breaking it so he'd drop his weapon, before tossing him aside. She'd been a part of the Brotherhood with some of it's old members, but that had been so long ago. And they were all dead now.] No, why?
ferrokinetic: (Blind faith)

[personal profile] ferrokinetic 2018-03-29 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Who?

[ lorna has pointedly never gone into her history much out of spite. the frost sisters really had to sell her on the whole legacy factor, and even then, she's more about her beliefs than her past. which is all a long-winded way of saying she's willfully choosing ignorance about the hellfire club and its roots.

lorna rips the knife out of the man's hand after he drops it - thanks to the arm raven broke. good job, girl. she's content to slit his throat, watching knife and weapon crumble into red dust. ]


This just seems like something those telepathic control freaks would dream up.

[There's a thought forming in her mind, that maybe they are on some kind of different wavelength where what they say to one another nearly makes sense but is off just enough to make things confusing. Raven opens her mouth to ask more, but then a fist comes out of the storm and landing across her jaw and cutting off any clarifying questions.

She goes for a toss again, but this time she's more and more convinced that these things are figments, no matter how real they feel. Raven grabs hold of their neck and- there is a momentary look of horror on her face at the sickening crack it makes when she snaps it. But then the attacker is gone, a dust cloud surrounding her. ]
Maybe there's some shelter from this somewhere?!

ferrokinetic: (I saw her face on the back of the door)

[ lorna turns back at the sound of a blow, but it seems like mystique has it under control. not that this surprises her, from the stories she's heard. she's in the camp of assuming this is some kind of mindplay as well, given their experiences with what mutants can do. being transported mentally to some kind of dangerous wasteland makes more sense than... physically.

she catches another knife with her powers before it can plunge into her shoulder, throwing off her attacker and sending the blade like an arrow back into their neck. ]


You're right. We're blind out here.

[ and there's no end in sight to this fight. she doesn't know about mystique, but she can't keep using her powers constantly without getting tired. ]

I woke up in the street.
personify: (dangerous)

[Raven is getting tired and quickly, she starts forward eyes straining for any kind of shelter.] Me too. But before that I was someplace else. A city I didn't recognize. Then I was here.

There! [Calling out toe Lorna, she points out toward what she's certain is a house through the dust.]
