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.

[a2brutus]

[She's too old for this??? Young??? SHE'S TOO SOMETHING FOR THIS.]

No.

[bringsthestorm]

[Uhm????]

but then where would you sleep??

[a2brutus]

I don't need sleep. I'm an android.

[bringsthestorm]

wait what

[what??? is that why she was so heavy to run into...? and perhaps also why she was running around mostly naked and also kind of vaguely dirty, now that she was really looking? still gorgeous though.]

for real?

[a2brutus]

Feel for yourself.

[A2 holds out her arm for Jupiter! Which is, in fact not a glove but a smooth, warm metal!]

[bringsthestorm]

[She reaches out gingerly and touches it, eyes widening with surprise when she felt the warmth and hardness. Jupiter then tries to pinch it, just to make sure, and is entirely unsuccessful.]

wow!

[Wait. That means that the black pieces she'd previously thought were skimpy clothes were actually... just straight up naked android metal.... oh my god. Oh my god.]

does this place have a lot of androids?

[a2brutus]

Two. Myself and someone else from my world. That's all I know of here, though.

[A2 retracts her hand, motioning for Jupiter to follow.]

It's safer to talk inside than out in the open. Less likely that a noise gets made.

[bringsthestorm]

[two whole robots... so cool.]

good idea, lead the way

[She follows after, walking along next to her and stealing glances occasionally. Jupiter really couldn't figure it out, but she was just progressively finding herself more and more smitten with this android — she goes for her wristband but ends up digging her fingernails into her arm instead, the sting helping her calm down and focus.

Stop being the way you are, Jupiter! she chides herself inwardly, heaving an equally inward sigh.]

[a2brutus]

[A2's completely oblivious to Jupiter's internal struggle. In fact, A2 doesn't even realize that she's having any issues to begin with? And she likely won't unless there's blood.

A2 gently pushes the door open for her human guest!

In you go.]

[bringsthestorm]

[Good, let’s keep it that way. Let her gay struggles remain her own, even if it’s vaguely confusing as to why she was feeling so strongly for this android she just met.]

is it soundproofed inside the houses?

[a2brutus]

Mostly. Been working at it here and there.

[bringsthestorm]

it'd be nice to have at least one place where we don't have to text at each other just to talk all the time. how do you get the materials to help soundproof it? maybe i can try to help

[a2brutus]

We have that place. It's the town hall. You can probably talk in here, as long as it's away from the windows and doors.

[Which means... A2 gestures for Jupiter to follow her further inside. Mostly A2 had been planning on using the room she was given to do repairs on herself if she needed to, and she knows how loud the sound of metal on metal can be.]

[bringsthestorm]

oh, that's nice at least. i feel like i'd go off the wall if i didn't have a place to relax where i couldn't be a little loud.

[She steps along after her, trying to be quiet, and glances around at her surroundings with interest.]

the houses don't look all too bad, all things considered

[a2brutus]

They've been fixed up and worked on since everyone arrived. Not that they were in bad shape to begin with. I've seen worse.

[A2's own steps are careful, but that's more from her own programming and need to see it that the humans she's with are as safe as can possibly be. And when they get to her room, A2 just pushes the door open so Jupiter can inspect the room.

It's neat and tidy, and the only thing of real note is her sword laying up against the dresser.]
