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.

nah it's all good

[sparke]

[ thor is not a crazy person! but his hair is shorter and one of his eyes is missing and he can kind of understand why tony would want an explanation.

and it's just good to see one of his fellow avengers again. he doesn't bother typing out a response, he just nods, quick and decisive. of course. ]

[flyguy]

[Well it's a quick jaunt over to one of the apartment buildigs and up a flight or two before one of the apartment doors opens on its own. Of course it does. It's Tony's apartment. Inside is...

There's a lot of metal, old appliances, tools, tool boxes, basically this is Hoarders. The couch and one of the dining table chairs are open though? It's something. When the door closes itself Tony turns to Thor.]

Okay. What happened. You look like you've been through a blender and the blender won.

[sparke]

[ thor makes a face. ]

The blender did not win! And it was not a blender, it was my sister. Hela, the goddess of death.

[ one might almost think that he doesn’t have the best of luck when it comes to family. ]

[flyguy]

You have a sister? […] Is she hot?

[Okay he's just messing, but also Thor answer the question.]

[sparke]

[ thor had not forgotten how odd tony stark can be, but the reminder is still pointedly felt. ]

I suppose if you like that sort of look. Very dark. Lots of black around the eyes.

[flyguy]

Goth isn't entirely unappealing. By the way: do you have any siblings who haven't tried to murder you?

[Moving away from the door he'll indicate for Thor to take a seat and grab some glasses. He could pour Thor a glass of water to wash out the taste of the dust outside. He could. Of course he grabs the strongest scotch he has and pours that instead.

Uh.... They should probably talk. About things. Several things? Tony's not sure whether to start with here or back in their dimension as he hands Thor his drink.]

We need to talk.

[That's a good start. Sure.]

[sparke]

[ for a moment, thor's jaw clenches. he knows tony doesn't mean harm, but the glib question is still not entirely welcome. warranted, perhaps, but nonetheless a reminder of what he's lost. of how complicated his family has become and how few of them still live.

only loki, now. ]

We are talking.

[ but he gestures for tony to continue before reaching for the glass tony is holding out, the scotch going some way to ease the sting of loss. temporarily, at least. ]
