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.

[Of all the people she's expecting to see her, he's not one of them. But really, she's glad that he is. She's breathing heavily due to fighting and running, and the shock at seeing him leaves her staring up for a second. But she's quick to nod, knowing that time cannot be wasted when this other man is so aggressive. Already, he's attempting to turn and strike again. Any pain that might be registering with the way his arm is twisted isn't slowing him down, and that makes Shuri worry.]

I'm fine, Sergeant Barnes. But this man is not.

[As much as she doesn't like the idea of killing him, he's too much like a rabid animal. It's something that must be done.]

[lednikovyy]

[ He offers her the briefest glance. He hadn't even realized he'd been helping someone he knew, but he recognizes her from the lab in Wakanda. ]

Yeah, he's--

[ Wordlessly, the man twists out of Bucky's grip and spins to aim a kick at him. Bucky takes the blow without a wince and swings a right hook at the guy, but he ducks away from the blow. ]

slippery.

[kimoyos]

[Shuri grits her teeth and looks for the right moment to jump in and help. The man ducks, but Shuri counters with a right hook of her own. It makes contact and she ends up having to shake her hand from the force of the blow. This is much easier with the weapons she designs, and the right outfit for the job. Running around in her attire meant for seeing California, she feels out of her element compared to the more battle friendly armor she has back in Wakanda. ]

He must be subdued!

[She thrusts a foot out and aims to hit him directly in the calf. He goes flying forward and she expects Bucky to make another blow.]

[lednikovyy]

[ Bucky moves fluidly, punching the man in the gut with his metal arm and then bringing down his other elbow to connect with the man's temple once he's doubled over.

The blow is hard enough to knock a normal man from consciousness and as he falls to the ground, his body disintegrates into dust. ]

I met you in Wakanda, didn't I?

[kimoyos]

[Well, at least he remembers that. Shuri slowly exhales as the man turns into dust, and ignores the way she's covered in the red stuff. It clogs her nose and mouth, and is slowly filling her lungs. Her had and chest feel heavy as she looks over to Bucky and nods.]

You met me when I agreed to help with the programming inside your head, yes.

[She might as well get that out of the way.]

Do you not remember who I am?

[That's...concerning, to say the least.]

[lednikovyy]

[ He winces because there aren't many people here who know what's wrong with him. Even Stark doesn't really get it. ]

I remember that. I just got to Wakanda before I wound up here. Shuri, right?

[ Names are easy for him, at least. He's used to memorizing them quickly for missions along with faces and maps and those abilities haven't dulled. ]
