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.

[She was doing likewise, taking her own canteen and dipping it into the water while she looked up at him and then back to the water. Calling her mood sociable was perhaps a little gracious. She was trying to deal with this entire 'relate to people' thing, and it wasn't easy. Still, she'd seen a reaction and so pulled out her device when the water was refilled.]

We have not met yet, have we?

[If if they had, there was a healthy chance she had forgotten it by now. She wasn't good with names.]

[warfares]

We have not.

[ Kylo Ren kept to himself for the most part. If not out on the paths he would often be found in the library, reviewing maps and making notes of areas of interest — and, most recently, assisting Teddy with his patrols. ]

How long have you been in Reims?

[lilithsoul]

Several weeks.

[Rei was just as bad as Kylo, if not worse, in the 'keep to themselves' category. Her association with Tony Stark hadn't helped her keep as low profile as she usually wanted to, nor had Nishizono, but she preferred a quiet existence most days.

She looked like she would leave it at that, and then paused, looking at her phone and typing on it.]

May I ask your name? I am Rei.

[Learning people's names. This was more irritating than she had thought. She had to remember to actually ask when she met someone new.]

[warfares]

You're new, then.

[ It's a statement of fact rather than a question, though "new" might be relative in this case when arrivals pour into Reims with a seemingly a regularity. ]

Kylo Ren.

[lilithsoul]

[She simply nodded at his statement. It was true, relatively speaking, that she was a newer arrival, even if she was not fresh off of the boat.]

What task do they have you assigned to do today? Do you require assistance?

[warfares]

I work the paths.

[ Which likely means a day spent clearing away the storm debris and trying to restore things as best he canㅡreally, Hux and Teddy's initiative couldn't come fast enough. Think of the time that could be saved. ]

I work alone.

[ It's a statement of fact rather than declining her offer. ]

[lilithsoul]

[She nodded, considering for a moment before the thought of that project came to her mind.]

You are involved with the talking dog's project, to make padded paths, yes? I will be trying to help get more cloth ready for it.
