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.

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.

Her awareness comes to her just in time though, and she drops the book down to glance up at her company. She's pleasantly surprised to see who it is.]
Kylo. [She just barely whispers his name and smiles, closing her book so she can give him her proper attention. Her book is tucked under her arm so she can pull out her device and type.]
You can read in French too?

His focus lifts, attention shifting from surprise to recognition. Clara Oswald. She had been at the Town Hall during the attack, had assisted him in his search through the dust for any signs of Lamar.
Head inclining, he catches the edge of her book, only part of the title visible. ]
The device translates.
[ A pity, really, as he'd enjoy the opportunity to learn. ]

[She offers with a smile, accompanied with an amused arch of her eyebrows. Learning is something that's important to her, and language is something that she's always having to learn. Sure, having the translation circuit on the TARDIS was a big help. But she hadn't had that in a while now, and she still was doing just fine.
So she feels that she knew enough French to offer a friend lessons. And really, she hopes that he'll take her up on them. ]

He chews on the inside of his cheek as he considers it, considers what (if any) her angle might be. ]
I wouldn’t refuse a chance to learn. [ He thinks of the graffiti they'd seen as they traveled through Paris, of Lorem's shy explanation. He hadn't known of the translation app then but he doubts it would have worked on something so weathered anyway. ]

Good.
[She's still learning signing, but prefers it over typing. It's unfortunate that she still needs to use both.]
Start now?
[But as much as she's capable of signing, it's still very limited. She holds up her copy of Pride & Prejudice, giving it a little wave.]
