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.

[delincuente]

i'm good at a lot of things

[She looks up at him, curious, but doesn't ask further.]

yeah
short for beyonce

[limped]

Good that.

[ He's got the strange feeling she's being sarcastic again. ]

Okay Beyonce, you just get here today?

[delincuente]

[Where would he get a feeling like that??]

yesterday
so far the whole deal isn't growing on me

[limped]

[ It's a mystery. ]

Not much a fan of it either.
There isn't very much we can do about it for now, it seems.

[delincuente]

[Seemingly a trigger statement for her; as soon as the words are out of his "mouth" Alex makes a face that looks like it should be accompanied by an exasperated groan. She leans back against the wall and lets herself slide down to the floor.]

story of my freaking life, man
this is the third one of these shitholes i've been stuck in

[limped]

[ ... Yikes, okay, maybe not the best thing to say....... Erm.... Don't mind him moving to her level so that he's also now sitting on the floor. Sudden floor party??? It felt weird to loom over her. ]

Third?
Where were you before? Were you in the Maze?

[ Warning alarms are going off in his head screaming WCKD. ]

[delincuente]

[ Floor party! ]

nope, no maze
first it was this demon castle that could like crazy bend reality and stuff
and then i got kidnapped into space
wound up with my own ship, though
which i'd v much like to get back to thx

[limped]

You realise you sound bugging jacked in the head, right?

[ As long as theyre on the same page. ]

I know someone else was saying he was on a space station.

[delincuente]

oh i know, believe me
and it all just gets more bugging jacked from there

[limped]

[ He grins at her mimicking his slang, she sounds like a greenie still, but that's okay, it's still endearing. ]

Well, go on then, tell me how it gets more shucked than that.

[delincuente]

the whole space thing was a reality tv show
it was all filmed for people to watch and laugh at us and stuff
and like supposedly they'd let you go if the audience liked you enough but no one really could prove that or anything

[It's dawning on her now why this kid is familiar - he looks kind of like that boy who didn't get along with Theon, the really short one who hung out with the wheelchair kid. He's clearly different, though. Taller, tanner, less grim. The smile on his face looks natural and easy.]
