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.

Me too.

My world isn't full of women warriors. They're rare stories. I'm glad I got to see a place like your home.

[It gave her hope and in her life that kind of thing is in short supply.]

[monomachy]

[Though Diana wishes to be surprised by that revelation, she isn't. She had been so shocked in London, when Steve and Etta had told her that women never went into battle. On Themyscira, it was just a way of life. And while she'd known that customs would be different outside the island, she hadn't expected them to be that different.]

I'm glad you did, too.

[A brief pause, and she adds:]

And I meant what I said. That I would train you.

[list_maker]

[Arya beams and it makes her look even younger. It's not a look she's had often not since her father was executed. But it's starting to peak it's way out more and more in this place. The people's she's met here are so very much unlike the people she's known in Westeros. So much more willing to help her.]

Thank you. I want to learn everything I can before I return home. [She's not allowing an 'if' into the equation. She must get home.]

[monomachy]

[Diana doesn't see a reason to quell that hope. Even though she had begun to lose hope on the Avagi, she'd ended up here, hadn't she? That meant the Ingress must still be working in some way. So she smiles, nodding.]

We should begin soon. You have a lot to learn.

[No matter what Arya already knows, there is always more to learn.]

[list_maker]

I'm ready now. Is that too soon? [Arya isn't one to waste time. She's already sought out help from others here, but is all too glad to take further help as offered. Especially from Diana.

Sure she's in the middle of a cemetery. But she'd been nearly done anyway. Her family would understand her drive to learn anyways. She's doing it all for them to begin with.]

[monomachy]

[Her brows raise, but she doesn't look as if she's about to refuse. She's only just arrived, but... perhaps it will be good to begin occupying herself now. And there doesn't seem to be any harm in it for the girl. So she shakes her head, smiling.]

It is not too soon. I would be happy to start now.

[list_maker]

[Arya's smile is as wide as a mile. For as hardened as she's become, there is still a teenager under it all. A girl looking for validation and for companionship. She's lonely, although does her best to hide it.] Thank you.
