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.

[Hello, pretty lady! He's hoping he seems like less of an impertinent child now. But at least she didn't try to touch him, poor guy's a bit on edge still thanks to one annoying "scout".]

Think you can help push this into place as I try and get this collapsed beam back up? [He's deceptively stronger than he looks!]

[bossily]

[She reads his message and eagerly nods, taking a second to give him a mock salute. She can do that, captain. If she's questioning his strength, she definitely doesn't let it show. Instead, she just pockets her device for now and moves to start helping pushing the wood into place. She's probably too short to do this, but it's the effort that counts here.]

[historyrabbit]

[It's effort that's greatly appreciated!! Lavi didn't really expect to see many folks in here. Especially with how unsafe and rundown everything was. Lavi helps her get placed at least, showing her where to put most of her pushing, then he moves away slowly to make sure it's not too much weight.

When he's certain she's got it, Lavi hefts the beam up and attempts to quietly push it into place. He gets it about halfway in when it starts to become more of a task, but it's enough that Clara's task is done. Frowning a little he looks up at it.]

Might need someone to lift up that top part next, but it should hold for now.

[bossily]

[Clara glances up and smiles at a job well done, nodding in agreement. It should definitely hold. She gestures back over her shoulder with her thumb and gives him a curious look. Need some more help? She's got nothing but time.]

[historyrabbit]

[Maybe he could get a rope and slowly shift it into place after wrapping the rope around it. He's thinking hard and almost misses the facial cue.]

I've got a few little spacer things we can use to fix the boards on some of the bookcases. [Small things needed to be done too. But they're various cuts of wood that he wanted to push flush against a wall to balance out shelves.]
