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.

Okay, so, as seen above here is what we'll learn from interrogating Lamar.

I'm not sure if we want to do a log here or maybe a closed log on the comm? I am okay with whatever.

[justbeingknife]

He knew there was something wonky with that theater tbh!!

No real preferences, are we NPCing Lamar?

[warfares]

Not sure. At the very least we can probably do something where they encounter him and drag him in for questioning?

[priwen]

I'm up for either of those options!

[eachother]

yeah, i'm down with whatever!

[warfares]

So, then, the questions are:

1. closed log/thread it out here.
2. who starts?
3. how do we want to disperse the information after the fact? my concern is the theater, specifically, since as soon as it's known that something weird is happening there everyone is going to want to take a peek inside.

[priwen]

1. Closed log lets us keep track of it better especially if this log manages to overflow
2. I have no preference wrt this
3. Mass network post perhaps?

[warfares]

1. I agree. It also makes it more back tag friendly?
2. Neither do I.
3. That works. In terms of using the information acquired to lead to some kind of player plot, possibly the network could double as a way to look at ways to get into the theater.

[justbeingknife]

1. I'm ok with this
2. Not it :')
3. Also works for me, Majima's been poking around a bit anyway so he can mention Carpet's attempt.

[warfares]

I'd offer to do 2 but with how slow I am already it will take an age for me to get a starter up.

[eachother]

i don't mind setting something up later on today

[priwen]

Please do!

Here's a bit more info that I got from the mods.

[eachother]

hey! mal suggested that it might be easier to just handwave all of this at this point, so i'm not sure what we all want to do here. i know we discussed doing a network post to share the information that was gathered — is there anyone that would like to do that?

[priwen]

Will we be keeping Lamar in jail and not execute him then, since he won't tell the characters everything?

[justbeingknife]

Majima would definitely not be up for executing him! (Although he also won't stop people if they do so. That's how much that's worth)

I'm up for handwaving as well!

Also I literally just posted a network post so... y'all wanna start a google doc and put something together 8')?

[priwen]

I can, but I'd need to get all the details straight about what we'll be doing with Lamar, so let me shoot the mods some questions first
