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.

[Hugs are the best, he likes hugs. Will sort of clings onto Faith, the way he would if it were his mom here, but moves back quickly the second she starts to let go.

Then he brightens, turning red in the face and nodding.] thanks. you didn't have to get me anything, though. i mean, i like what you did, but you didn't NEED to.

[deadboywalking]

[Will can't stifle the next smile, ducking his head and shrugging a little at the nudge.

Then, blinking a couple times:] not today yet, no. is everything okay?

[deadboywalking]

[Yeah no, since Will is such a chronic blusher himself, he can definitely recognize it in someone else. Have the most suspicious face.]

whyyyyy?

so cruel ;____;

[deadboywalking]

[Will looks somewhere between genuinely surprised and bewildered.]

like...LIKE-like her?

[deadboywalking]

[You can practically see the gears in Will's little brain turning.]

is that allowed?

[deadboywalking]

[...well. He can't really argue with that logic, can he? So instead he's just going to look cautiously hopeful.]

do you want her to be your girlfriend?

[deadboywalking]

[The next logical question is, of course:] are you gonna get married?

[deadboywalking]

[Have a gently perplexed look, Faith.] okay, when is it NOT too early?

[deadboywalking]

[Listen, Faith, everything he knows about love comes from movies and stories. And in those people don't dance around the fact of dating and whatnot, they just get married!! It seems so simple!!]

why wouldn't she? you're really great!

[deadboywalking]

[Aww, Faith. You're lucky this dust thing is happening, because otherwise Will wouldn't be confident enough to do what he does next -- step a little closer and grab onto your hand.]

i think you're both perfect.
