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.

[ Vash's hand is cupping the slash in his arm, trying to keep the blood from pooling everywhere, but he is so shocked by her killing blow that he lets own a strangled cry. But soon the body is disappearing and was blowing into dust, as if he was never solid to begin with. He stands, face stoney, trying to decide what to be more shocked and appalled over. ]

It's a trick? A Sound Eater?

[ He's aware that there's more fighting to be done, but this has just changed the game. ]

I don't know. [Arya answers frustrated, she wishes she knew what's going on but she's only reacting at this point. All she knows is these things are attacking innocent people and she needed to help stop them.] Are you armed? [It's not intended to be a facetious question to the one armed man, but perhaps he'll take it that way. Sorry Vash.]

[ Any normal time he would have laughed at that and made some fuss about the pun but really he is too distracted and distraught to even really register it. He shakes his head slowly making water from his hair run down his face. ]

No, I am not. But I can watch your back.

[ He'll follow her around and take a hit for her in her place. That's pretty much all he can do. That and try to tackle and take down someone before her keen blade can get there first. ]

[list_maker]

Alright. Stay behind me, then. [Arya is all too happy to take up the front, Needle held out to take down anyone attacking from the front and occasionally turning around to kill anyone that he manages to down behind them. It's a pretty good system all in all. They are making good progress toward where Arya knows the town is, where they can find a house to hide in.]
