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.

[Leo is busy chopping vegetables. No one's actually let him be involved in what anything tastes like after his first disaster of mistaking salt for sugar. What can he say? It all has the same ash-like taste to him. He glances up at the new arrival, reading his message. When he takes a closer look at Robbie, what he sees make him stop and stare.

He's seeing not one, but two shadows when he looks at this guy. One of them is the mark of a good soul and stays in place. The other rises up behind him, the mark of a sinner. It can only mean one thing. Two souls in one body? Leo's never encountered such a thing before. Exactly who and what is he dealing with here?]

I'm Leo. I don't think I've ever seen anyone like you before.

[Tact? What is that? Might as well start things off bluntly.]

[blazeofkings]

[Uh... Robbie awkwardly types on his device though his amber eye lights up for the barest flicker of a second.]

I'm going to assume that's not a comment on my background. Chopping vegetables, right?

[He moves to grab one of the knives and a vegetable to join in. I don't like the way this dumbass is looking at us, Robbie. Watch yourself. That'd be Eli in his head and Robbie ignores the comment with practice. A look is just a look. It can't hurt, just be insulting.]

[stealyoursoul]

I'm sure you already know what I'm talking about.

[Not that he's going to elaborate on that enigmatic statement. Leo points to a nearby cutting board where a heap of zucchini is being waited to cut into smaller pieces.]

Keep the knife steady so there's no noise when you chop.

[He keeps staring at Robbie even as he chops his own vegetables. It's distracting him enough that he'd be sure to cut one of his fingers if he wasn't invulnerable with how he's not looking at what he's doing. This is going to be on his mind until he actually addresses it.]

[blazeofkings]

[...Ooookay? Robbie just focuses on slowly (and silently!!) chopping his zucchini. The staring isn't helping though. And Eli doesn't have any more answers than Robbie what it's all about. Doggedly Robbie sticks it out a good ten minutes before picking his device back up.]

Are you going to do this the whole time? I DON'T know what you're talking about and I haven't done anything. I'm just here to work.

[stealyoursoul]

[Leo turns towards Robbie, pointing the knife at him, though it's more for emphasis than intimidation.]

Don't play dumb with me. I see inside you and know exactly what's there. One innocent soul and one sinner's soul. Though how you accomplished that is something I would dearly like to know.

[Also, can he just eat the bad soul? Pretty please?]
