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.
OOC
From your mods:
Please be mindful of content - if something triggery comes up or if it goes up a rating to say, something sexy, mark your threads in the subject line. We're very flexible and allow any material; we just want our players to be respectful of each other. If you have questions, pp the mod account, use the faq or comment to the appropriate post below. Have fun! The OOC Plotting Post.

An echo of the folks who died, right? When they first showed.
[ Majima wasn't a particularly superstitious person, but it was hard not to absorb at least a little of the general character of the country he'd grown up in. The idea of anger and fear remaining in the world past the deaths of their owners was not a new one. ]
no subject
[ Alex takes a bite of the apple, chewing it in silence. ]
... I wish I could understand them.
no subject
[ DUNNO, MAN... Majima was thinking the best way to help them would be to make sure they were dead for good. At peace, in some way. Hard to figure there was a way to come back from being red dust ghosts. ]
no subject
[ He really does not want to kill them a second time. But there's bound to be a permanent solution somewhere. There has to be. ]
I don't understand why I can't get through to them. We need more information to make any sort of decision.
no subject
Alright, so back up a second. If they were normal ghosts or spirits or whatever, you'd be able to talk to 'em just fine?
no subject
I received a form of magic in my home world that lets me communicate with others regardless of language or medium. It... does not work all the time, though.
[ Like now. It's almost crippling, to no longer be able to convey his intentions, but he supposes it would hit its limit eventually. ]
no subject
[ Because this distinction seemed important. ]
no subject
It feels to me that it is the former. From what I know of my own ability - it works by letting me reach out to someone else's soul. They... don't have a soul.
[ He thinks. ]
no subject
Well then, don't I feel better.
[ This was sort of half-true; Majima hadn't been feeling particularly remorseful about dispatching any of the attacking horde, but it did lighten his mental load a little to have his suspicions confirmed. ]
Hey, can you use it with the androids? What about Teddy?
no subject
I cannot sense the androids, but it is easy enough to know that they are as human as we are.
[ They speak and think. But these illusions... they would not listen. ]
no subject
[ Sorry, 9S... ]
Still, that just goes to show ya ain't gotta have one to be decent.
no subject
[ he frowns a little, trying to form words in his mind ]
They just are not... born. They are not flesh and blood. They are made differently from most of us, is all.
no subject
So, dogs: Souls, or no souls?
[ he just needed to reassure this little kid he knows that teddy would be fine ]
no subject
[ that's an easy question to answer, at least ]
Why do you ask?
no subject
Meanwhile, where I'm from, people figured all kindsa things had spirits. Rivers, trees...
Either way, figure this way we'd at least put that much to rest. So thanks.
no subject
Maybe souls work differently in different worlds. But, I don't think that's a measure of a person's worth, at least.
no subject
Yeah, I gotta agree. 9S is a pretty decent guy -- more than some humans I've met. I'd say he's worth a bundle.
no subject
I never expected to meet someone like them. But, I suppose that's the side effect of being in this kind of place.
good place to wrap?
Yeah, guess that's one of the pros. So, how 'bout a drink?
sounds good!
Gladly. Thank you.
