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.
OOC
From your mods:
Please be mindful of content - if something triggery comes up or if it goes up a rating to say, something sexy, mark your threads in the subject line. We're very flexible and allow any material; we just want our players to be respectful of each other. If you have questions, pp the mod account, use the faq or comment to the appropriate post below. Have fun! The OOC Plotting Post.
no subject
For now, she leaps in the air, floating to catch the attacker mid-air. She spins him around and socks him in the face, sending him plowing into the red and muddy dirt below. She can hear him groan over the roar of the storm, and she lowers herself to the ground, sauntering over to him and yanking the blade out of his hand. He's not dead, but he should stay put for a second, fingers crossed.
She turns to face the woman then, pushing her own wet hair out of her face.]
Rao's light! You were awesome!
no subject
Thanks?
[That's not something people usually say about her, even if she thinks the things she can do are pretty awesome. It's nothing all that new in her circle.]
Were you just...flying?
no subject
[there's another groan from the man, and Kara whips around, sees him pushing himself off the ground on shaking arms and legs.]
Where are these guys coming from?
no subject
[Flying is pretty much the best super power ever and she's a teensy bit jealous but...that's a thought for another time. This girl has powers and isn't hiding them and that means she probably doesn't have to, either. That makes everything so much easier.]
I don't even know how I got here, let alone these guys. Besides, I'm not even sure they're real people.
no subject
So, he's... not with you?
no subject
[As if it's totally unheard of for people she associates with to try to kill her.
If only that were true.]
It's like they're made of this stuff. [As she gestures around her to the dust.] It's weird.
no subject
Remind me when we're not in the middle of a fight to tell you about the other stuff this dust can do.
[she's speeding forward then, socking the guy in the face. Kara doesn't have any intentions to kill anyone, but with the force of the punch, her fist goes through the man's head, a smash of dust then, and huh. The new girl was right.
The body falls then, sinking to its knees, most of its head missing and melting away in red rivulets as the rain pours down. The body disintegrates before it fully hits the ground, and Kara jumps back a bit, staring at the red dust pooling in the sand where the body had just been.]
Holy crap.
no subject
[But she's already running off at a speed that might even be faster than her own, causing her to blink again. What can't this girl do?
She'll just add that to the growing list of questions for after this is dealt with.
She jogs over at a more human speed as the remainder of their attacker blows away in the wind and rain, her lips pursing together as she just nods.]
See what I mean? It's freaking weird.
no subject
[but, now there's a lull, even as they're being drowned by rain. Kara holds out her hand.] Hi, I'm Supergirl, by the way. Do you wanna get out of here? You can hide out at my place until the storm clears if you want!
no subject
I'm Caroline. [This is so surreal.] Um, sure. I mean, it's super fun getting drenched out here and all, but that sounds a little bit nicer.
work ate me :(
Once inside, Kara eases the door closed behind her and puts the chair she keeps by the door back against it, wedged under the knob with a sheepish shrug toward Caroline. There's a story there, why a superhero would worry about barricading the door, but there's more pressing matters to attend to. For instance:]
All right, that's better! We can talk freely in here. The whole place has been soundproofed. Let me grab us some towels!
[the house itself is sparsely decorated, but it's welcoming, the entrance one long corridor painted a pale yellow. The first room immediately to the right has two comfy white couches in an L pointed at a slightly stolen television. The walls, though, are sky blue and covered with painted murals of different movies - mostly action flicks from the 80s like Star Wars and Ghostbusters, with a dragon breathing fire just over the windows behind the TV.]
then life ate me ><
The other girl's words grab her attention pretty quickly anyway, because they've been talking this whole time, so why would they only be free to now?]
What do you mean 'freely'?
[She calls after her as the girl heads off to grab towels, taking the time to look around as she waits. It's simply decorated, but the colors are nice and calming. She doesn't bother to sit yet, because she's totally soaked and doesn't want to get her furniture wet.]
gdi, life, we've TALKED about this
Right! Oh, shoot, you just... got here. Usually when we arrive, it's in a room we call the reset room, and it's not during a storm that spawns weird dust monsters. Usually there's some people there who've been here a lot longer than the rest of us who explain everything that's going on.
So, um... welcome to Reims, which is in France. I'm not sure about you, but this isn't the same Earth I was on before I got here, but it is Earth. This Earth is kind of... plagued by monsters called Sound Eaters. And if it's not raining and you're not in a soundproofed building, if you make a sound, the Sound Eaters could come and... kill you, basically. They're powerful and deadly and it's very important that if you're not in a place like this? [she gestures around her house.] That you be quiet.
right? life is rude.
And these things can kill you too?
[If she's the real supergirl, then that's scarier than anything she's ever encountered before.]
And that's not even getting into the whole 'Earth but not Earth' thing.
no subject
[not that she's all that eager to test that theory.]
Hey, just be glad you don't have to hear the Barry Allen lecture about multi-dimensional Earth... travel. Look, I'm really not a science person, but there's a lot of Earths out there, apparently, which I think is the most important take-away there.
