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 tilted her head back finally and looked up at he, cocking her head a little bit. letting her breath out slowly, she struggled a little and looked like she was trying to figure out how to say something or do something. "I... am not good at this. You do not smell like blood. Everything in this place smells like ashes or blood. It's... normal."

She frowned a little, glancing away. "What do people do, to show that they are not sure what to say?" Yeah, girl didn't know how to shrug.

[personal profile] ex_tagartist520 2018-04-02 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh." She guessed that was a point. She hadn't noticed. Maybe it was because she was so used to the smell after having had to drag Rachel to the hospital, the way it coated her truck. She still couldn't get it out of her head most days, not even here where there were so many distractions.

She'd almost missed her question thinking about it, forehead wrinkling, and then - oh. She shrugs her shoulders for her, a natural reaction, both as a response to the question and, ironically, because she doesn't know what to say."

"I have seen that before. Once or twice. So that is what they meant." She relaxed a little and rested her head there against Chloe's shoulder, eyes closed while she stood there, nuzzling away like there was absolutely nothing wrong with this. "Thank you for showing me. I have been needing that for a long time."

Seriously, this girl needed to shrug. A lot.

[personal profile] ex_tagartist520 2018-04-08 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Uhh... yeah, no problem." She's not exactly sure how someone could go their whole life without knowing what a shrug was, but there's a lot about her she doesn't get. Won't get. Like why she's still holding her and even getting comfortable. There's a sigh and she let's her shoulders slump slightly, the hand that had awkwardly patted her going to rub her back slightly.

"You know you could let go at any time, right?"

"I am aware. Maybe in a moment. I feel better right now. Something is probably affecting me. I feel... alone, which is odd. I never really care, and I keep thinking of someone who went missing." A little shake of her head and a shrug. "This place does strange things to us."

Her forehead wrinkles and there's something that clicks; "You know, I couldn't stop thinking about this girl - woman - person I met my first day here when I woke up this morning. It was this chick that I saw in color when everything was weird and black and white." She pulled back just slightly, enough so that she can hopefully get a look at her. "It went away when I washed up. I was just trying to get clean before seeing her, but after, I didn't really care about it as much anymore."

"Yes, a shower will probably help things. It was, essentially, the same situation. I met the girl about a month ago, but she has since disappeared." She almost sounded a fraction upset. Ellie had been a fraction smarter than most she met, even in that brief encounter. "I will do that in a moment. ... Thank you for allowing this, though."

"Did you even get her name?" It's weird, she thinks, that this place makes them fixate this way on people they don't even really know. She might have gotten to talk to Faith a couple of times, but it wasn't like she was more than a somewhat familiar stranger.

"I think it was Ellie," she said. And, considering that they had only met once, it was impressive that she remembered her name at all. It wasn't Rei's nature to remember people, and she recalled that fact as she said it. Yes, this was almost certainly a strange effect somehow. "Did this happen to you as well?"

[personal profile] ex_tagartist520 2018-04-12 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh. I didn't know she disappeared." There's a hint of sadness in her voice, though she doesn't know why. She hadn't gotten to know Ellie all that well in their few interactions, but she'd seemed nice. Like someone she'd want to be friends with. "Uh - sorta. I mean, Faith is still here, so she didn't disappear. So I didn't want to like... hug a bunch of people or whatever. Just her."

"I... only realized when I could not find her recently." She did know why, now, she felt a little sad about that, and it partially annoyed her. The forced sensation wasn't exactly something she appreciated, even if she was not mad at either of the girls. "That is for the best, though. This has been a little... awkward."

Yes, even Rei could tell awkward situations sometimes.

[personal profile] ex_tagartist520 2018-04-14 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
There's a twitch of a smile at that choice of words. Not from surprise, even though she hasn't expected her to note the awkward in the slightest, but just from her being willing to admit. "A little?"

"I have had far more awkward moments in my life, such as when someone asked me to smile." Yeah, seriously, the timing on that had been ridiculous. How could she not smile for someone who'd saved her life like that?

[personal profile] ex_tagartist520 2018-04-15 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"That sounds like it would be hella awkward, yeah." She can't imagine ever being asked to smile in a situation that wasn't strange. But it must've been even weirder for someone who hadn't been the best at expressing herself in general. "Did you tell them to fuck off?"
lilithsoul: (02)

[personal profile] lilithsoul 2018-04-15 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Why would I do that? I smiled for Ikari-kun, but I still don't really do that very often." She shrugged. "I do not know that I have ever even said that word before. I do not use many vulgarities."

[personal profile] ex_tagartist520 2018-04-16 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Because it's shitty to tell people to smile?" She wrinkled her forehead at the idea of not being annoyed by it. "You should only smile if you feel like it." Could she feel like it? She wasn't sure. It didn't matter. "You should swear more, though. It's good for your health, I hear."
