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.

more blood, more violence

[iloveyousirs]

[Angus's eyes are huge behind his glasses, darting between the attacker, the knife, and Poe's bleeding hand. Goodness! This is horrendous! He scrambles in the red muddy sand to fling himself behind his savior, peering out from behind him at the attackers. The ones further back are gaining, ambling forward like monsters exiting the shadows.

For now, though, there's just the one, slamming forward without his knife now, both hands balled into fists. Angus fishes for his wand, pulling out of the pocket of his green and black checked waistcoat, and points it at the attacker, casting Lightning Bolt.

It's no Scorching Ray, but it does some damage, hitting the attacker square in the chest, zags of lightning cascading from the center of the man's chest and heading outward, causing him to writhe and twist as he falls in the sand. Angus stares, a little guilty and a lot amazed, as the spell slowly wears off, eases up.]

Holy shit!

[ Poe tries to figure out which attacker had the knife, he would need to kill him last hopefully. The bleeding hand isn't too much to worry about currently. He would ask Akira to heal the wound for him. There's a moment when he takes a breath and takes in the rest of his surroundings.

Angus behind him though seemed to have other plans. The zapping of a the spell surprised him not knowing that the young boy could do something like that. ] Whoa!

[ It's all he could say as he watches the man drop down towards the ground. He grips the knife hoping that Angus didn't take that guy out. So far it stayed within his grasp. ]

Uh, please do that again or something different. Try to not hit the guy that had this knife until last. [ He hoped that Angus would be able to follow that, if that he'll have to improvise on a weapon later. Poe went for the next attacker that was making their way towards them. This one had a bigger weapon, which Poe dodged out of the way last second to kick them right in the gut as the weapon came down for a swing. The attacker would hobble around as Poe lunges forward with the knife to stab the guy in his side. Red dusty sand starts pouring out. It's weird that it's sand. Why is it sand? ]

[iloveyousirs]

You got it! I only have a limited amount of spell slots, but I can cast it at least two more times!

[and he'd been about to graduate to the next grade at school too, which would have gotten him more slots. Shit! With that, he whirls out from behind Poe and aims Lightning Bolt at one of the monsters with no weapons except his hands balled into fists.]

[gotyourselfapilot]

Spell slots? It's a shame you can't keep casting endlessly.

[ Since the Lightning Bolt seemed to be really useful. As Poe will continue to duck and dodge as the attacker he already stabbed continues to try to fight him. He quickly stabs them in the neck when he gets close. The attacker falls turning into a pile of dust, if they did have a weapon it disappears. He turns his attention to any others coming his way while waiting for Angus to do his spells first while staying away. ]

[iloveyousirs]

As I learn more, my ability to cast will steadily increase! [and that, sir, is the power of knowledge!

Angus does aim skillfully from behind Poe, cautious but brave, casting a lightning bolt on either side of Poe and taking down two of the dust monsters with it. It's not powerful enough to kill them, but it leaves them twitching on the ground in the rain, and Angus hopes that's good enough for Mr. Knife Hand to finish them off with.]

[gotyourselfapilot]

That's pretty cool actually! A bit annoying once you run out slots though. [ Since, he'll have to time everything perfectly and not waste the moments.

Poe would wait until the dust monsters were stunned before going to them to stab with the knife. As brutal as it may be he'll at least do this method watching them turn into sand. He was being careful to take out the one that held the knife last. Once he does the knife disappears along with the sand monster. ] We probably should get moving! I'm Poe.
