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.

These phones are very small.

[ or maybe thor's hands are just very large. either way, he finds them utterly outdated and inconvenient. ]

But I can work them.

Yeah, figure it's 'cause they gotta fit in yer pocket.

But hey, ya got a head start in that case. Lot of crazy shit's been goin' down lately; no wonder the locals're on edge.
sparke: (🌩 063)

[personal profile] sparke 2018-04-10 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
What crazy shit?

[ this is the sort of thing thor is always going to be interested in. not out of any sort of idle curiosity but because "crazy shit" often hurts people. ]
justbeingknife: (stop and search)

[ Majima sighed. ]

Where do I start?

Well, some dude named Adam got murdered a couple months ago. The group before me got a look at the Sound Eater nest. I'm pretty sure they're buryin' bodies at the theater. Weird threats and some dead guy rigging up the vents to pour red dust all over us.

...been a lot, really.

[ Thor ought to feel free to ask about any of these, because mannnnnn ]
sparke: (🌩 037)

[personal profile] sparke 2018-04-11 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Burying bodies at the theatre? Whose bodies?

[ this is a lot and thor doesn't even know where to start, but— bodies seem like a good place because bodies are generally not a good sign at all. ]
justbeingknife: (smoking shadow)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-04-12 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
They told ya about the Reset Room, right? 'bout how the people from other worlds show back up there when they die?

Same ain't true of the locals. That's whose bodies. Wasn't there when it happened, but when they brought a body back from a trip to Paris, that's where they took her.
sparke: (🌩 069)

[personal profile] sparke 2018-04-14 12:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I see. So it is a graveyard.

[ that's actually comforting to thor. burial rites across the different realms are not all the same and he cannot claim to understand them all, but he is willing to respect them.

for a moment, he'd thought they were killing people to take there. ]
justbeingknife: (what was that?)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-04-14 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. But buryin' people in a movie theater with warning signs all over it and postin' a 24-hour guard? Not like I'm all up to date on my French customs, but even I know that ain't normal.

And they got normal cemeteries around here. Hell, we got one, although it ain't for bodies.
sparke: (🌩 040)

[personal profile] sparke 2018-04-15 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I see.

[ he just said that. but now he sees a different picture. an odder one that isn't just explained by burial rites. ]

So you think there is something wrong?
justbeingknife: (leaning forward)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-04-15 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I think they got somethin' to hide, and never mind all the talk about bein' more open with us.

[ He paused. ]

...Not that I blame 'em for bein' scared outta their minds.
sparke: (🌩 065)

[personal profile] sparke 2018-04-18 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Because of the- [ what were they called again? ah well. ] monsters.
justbeingknife: (makoto no)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-04-18 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
The Sound Eaters? Yeah.

Been dealing with 'em for a couple generations at least. Whole society revolves around not makin' noise, far as I can tell.

Feel sorry for those kids.

[ Majima came from a more free range school of thought when it came to parenting, and it was stifling, the idea of not being able to make noise even as a young child. To hardly ever be able to talk unless it was in the safety of a few buildings. ]
sparke: (🌩 077)

[personal profile] sparke 2018-04-21 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Are there many children?

[ thor winces. thinking back to his own childhood, he can't imagine having to be quiet as a child. ]
justbeingknife: (attention)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-04-21 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
As many as you'd expect in a place like this. You can see 'em around, though they only really make noise on rainy days.

Lorem's got a kinda community center going when they can go have some fun.

[ Majima was on friendly enough terms with them, from his tone of voice, but they mostly kept to themselves -- not quite as bold as some of the newly arrived kids, though whether that was because of their own natures or that of their parents, he couldn't say. ]

What does the rain have to do with it?
