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.

voidmage: (some food and some shelter)

[While resting would be nice, El also can't let herself fall asleep out here. There are too many dangers running around and so she has to stay awake so they don't get hurt. The sight of the blanket fort is comforting. Even with everything else happening, it was a safe place in her mind.

She mimics him for now, though her smile is smaller but no less happy.]


A lot of people? [Even after El met her mother and her sister, the idea of other people having powers is amazing.] Back?

[Does he know that she was in the Upside Down or was it just that he was glad to see her in general?]

[ Mike doesn't think sleeping right now is a good idea, which is why he's making an effort to sit up, even if the urge to curl up with Eleven in the blanket fort is strong. ]

I don't know how many... There was this guy on the network - while you were gone - trying to get everyone with powers to put their names on a list [ His face says it all about how he feels about that: it was stupid. ] But I know you wouldn't put your name on there. You're not stupid. There are dangerous people here but they won't die so we just have to... learn to live with them, I guess. [ He hates having to live in the same city as Kilgrave, but it's something he has to accept. Grudgingly.

He looks a little confused when she repeats the word 'back' to him. He figures maybe he's just confused her. ]
You know, when you were here before?
voidmage: (but this friendship is everything)

[personal profile] voidmage 2018-04-02 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sleeping is not good so she'll just sit here and try to regain her strength instead of lean against Mike like she had after using the Bath to find Will.]

Why? [Why would he do that? Eleven wouldn't go around telling some guy about her powers unless it was absolutely necessary. She shakes her head because she wouldn't. Couldn't put her name down where everyone could see it.] The bad men won't die?

[The one from earlier looked pretty dead to her. Should she try and disintegrate them like she did with the demogorgon?

El frowns because it's very confusing. She doesn't even know where "here" is. Hawkins? Istanbul? The Upside Down?]
Where is "here"?

I dunno, he made up some bull excuses to defend the idea but it smelled fishy to me. [ He tends to trust his gut instinct. ]

Not just bad men. People like us - people who got brought here from different worlds. People die but then they come back... It's like in a video game or something. You almost get rebooted, I guess? But I haven't experienced it and who knows how many lives we've got each. There has to be a limit to how many times you die before it has a negative impact on you.

[ He feels like he's probably rambling too much and Eleven has no clue what he's on about... Ah, the good ol' days! ]

Here is called Reims, in France. But I think it's another version of France.
voidmage: (bonded with chemistry)

[personal profile] voidmage 2018-04-07 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[It does sound fishy and if even Mike doesn't like the idea, El definitely can't agree to go along with it.]

We come back to life? [Coming from anyone else, that would be impossible to believe but they're friends and friends don't lie. The idea that people come back to life is both frightening and a little reassuring. It meant Mike wouldn't die forever... but if someone bad died, they'd come back too.

She doesn't understand everything but El still listens anyway.]


Not Upside Down France. [The feeling she has is wrong - it's not the Upside Down version of the world. Something different.]

It's happened to some people I know. [ Actually, who she knows too - or so he thinks. ] It happened to Frank. You remember Frank, right? He built this place. [ He gestures to structure they're sitting inside. ] Will and I helped. I can't wait to tell Frank you're back - he'll be so happy.

[ He remembers them forming a bond before, which pleased him because they were both so important to Mike. ]
voidmage: (I can't seem to shake)

[personal profile] voidmage 2018-04-07 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[She frowns at the mention of a Frank, especially when Mike asks if she remembers him. There were a lot of people at the lab who's names she doesn't know but the way the boy speaks of the guy, Frank can't be a guy from there. Hopper's first name isn't Frank either. Will's brother is Johnathon and Nancy's boyfriend is Steve. The man who had first tried to help her was Benny.

No Franks. So El shakes her head.]
I don't remember Frank. Don't remember being in France either.

[This seems like a problem. Eleven doesn't feel like she's forgotten anything but apparently has.]

You don't? [ Mike thinks back. ] You don't remember when I found you under a table when we first got here? Or... when we went to see the sound eaters? Or when we splashed in puddles together?

[ He's not upset she doesn't remember - though she might be - but he does find it odd. ] That's so weird... What's the last thing you remember from home? [ Maybe they ought to start there. ] We could be from different times... So I'm from Halloween, right? But Will is from the future, I guess? The future for me, anyway. Then there's Max who seems to know everything... [ He grumbles that last part. Does it bother him that she knows more than he does about the future? Absolutely. ]

[None of that sounds familiar but since Mike's the one saying it, she believes him. El shakes her head at every question. No, no, no, no. There is nothing that she remembers.

She wants to ask why she forgot or say that she's sorry but El can answer that question.]
After Halloween. I wanted to be a ghost and go trick-or-treating but Hopper said no. I found mama and mama told me about sister. The bad people had hurt mama so I found Kali. She can make people see things that aren't there. She helped me get stronger. [The name Max does not ring a bell at all.] I pulled a train car across the ground.

[ He couldn't tell her why she'd forgotten even if she did ask, and he'd hardly want her to apologize for it. It's not her fault.

He's pleased she's actually from the same time as him at least, though everything she says after has Mike's eyes widening. He can't even focus on the part about her wanting to dress up as a ghost to his ghostbuster, which would have been awesome if Hopper had let her. It definitely would have made up for Max being there, anyway. ]


You have a mom and a sister? [ Well, of course she had a mother, otherwise how was she born, but a sibling too? ] A train car? Holy shit, El... that's amazing. All of it. I mean, not the part about your mom being hurt, but you have a family. [ He smiles, happy for her. ]
