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.

[Clara's been buried down in the archives for hours, deep in research. She's also distracted herself with reading a copy of Pride & Prejudice, so she hasn't really been paying enough attention to notice there's someone else wandering around in the library. She's wandering through the rows of books with her nose buried in that copy of Jane Austen, not necessarily caring about the fact she's not completely fluent in French because she knows the story in English by heart. She's so preoccupied by her book that she doesn't notice she's in someone's path until she very nearly plows right into him.

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?

[ Hands lift to steady. It's a testament to his own absorption that he'd only noticed her when she was so close.

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. ]

Yeah, but if you always let it translate then you'll never learn. I could teach you.

[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.

[ It’s a generous offerㅡsurprisingly so, in fact. He’s unaccustomed to people offering things, be it material objects or simple aid, without some kind of catch.

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. ]

[She watches him consider her offer, but doesn't try to sway his decision. Her teeth do press against her lower lip as she watches him type, and his response makes her smile a little in return. She doesn't need her device to answer, at least.]

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.]

[ A nod -- there's no time like the present, he has nowhere better to be -- and then he gestures, one-handed, toward one of the aisles. A path that leads toward the reading tables. ]
