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.

[shortly after the path turns left, the sand ends, disappearing into brown mud. the prints continue going, though, and Kara frowns, looking from the trail to Arya. She knows she said they should go back. And they should. It's not safe. But these prints could be important.]

So I know what I said, but... Do you want to fly?

[list_maker]

[Arya turns to look at her, trying to work out if she's serious. Is that thinly veiled excitement in Arya's eyes? No, of course not. Maybe she just has to sneeze.] Yes, I'd fly. I want to know where this leads. [As though that's the only reason she wants to fly.]

[iisupergirlii]

[Kara nods, not pushing the flicker of childish excitement she saw. She's sure she saw it, though, a brief glimpse past the hard shell Arya's put up. She's the personification of "stiff upper lip," and Kara's just glad to peek behind the curtain for even a second.

So, she holds out her hand instead. With the other, she types:] Don't let go.

[list_maker]

[Arya takes the hand and nods once without texting back, sliding the device into a pocket. She'll hold tight. The excitement builds in her gut. Once they're up in the air, she may not be able to keep up any of her walls up and contain herself.]

[iisupergirlii]

[they're not far off the ground, just enough that the momentum and wind can carry Arya too so she's not dangling. but Kara hovers them closely enough that they can still see the trail, giant footprints splashed in the mud for another mile until...

It just stops. mud gives away to grass, high grass that swishes in the wind, and there's no more footprints to be found.]

[list_maker]

[Arya is quite enjoying the ride, but all the same she's very focused on the tracks. So when they just stop, she has to fight not to sigh or grit her teeth. They couldn't just end! Thee had to be the source! What now? Did they have any other options?]

[iisupergirlii]

[Kara sets them both down excruciatingly gently, on top of the mud. She quickly signs] Wait. Don't move. [before she pulls out her device.]

I can't tell where whatever this is went next, can you?

[there's no broken grass, no snapped twigs, nothing to give away that the monster or animal or, heck, Big Foot that they're tracking continued walking... anywhere. Like it just disappeared. But that couldn't be possible, could it?]
