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.

[ Finn has a point — an understandable one, and an explanation she's told herself to alleviate her guilt. From Finn's mouth, it's easier to accept that he doesn't blame her for following the path she'd needed to, to bring Skywalker home and gain some understanding of the power manifesting inside of her. She exhales, heavily but quietly, in something akin to relief.

She doubts he can fully comprehend her remorse without knowing that the Resistance has been scrambled, barely thriving but — selfishly, perhaps — she accepts his reassurance for what it is, without correcting him or arguing otherwise. ]

Let's hope Chewbacca doesn't show up.

[ The selfishness inside of her wants that familiarity, that companionship, desperately; the pragmatic side to her recognizes the danger it would place him in. ]

It was Artoo that had the other half of the map. That's where I found Skywalker. [ A pause as she squeezes his hand tighter, and tilts her head to get a better look at him. ] Have you heard of Ahch-To?

[misplacesfriends]

[A power he's still not sure about either, since her explanation of what happened in that room wasn't all that elaborate. He's seen part of what Kylo Ren can do, at the very least, thanks to Jakku.

Once he gets a full update or goes through it himself he might feel a little differently. Maybe. He's gonna feel differently about a lot of things. But one thing is certain at least, he's gonna still be happy to see her safe and sound. Even if she is floating rocks.]

Him or the droids. [Finn can agree with that one.]

Ahch-To? [Shaking his head.] Sounds like something out in the Outer Rim.

It's an island in the Unknown Regions. Skywalker and I were the only humans there, but it was...

[ She trails off, something wistful in her tone. For as disappointed as she had been that Luke Skywalker — an idol to so many, a mythical hero — hadn't matched the image she'd had of him, her wonder hasn't faded. To go from an empty desert, to a bountiful island, had been as nearly enchanting as seeing so much greenery for the first time on Takodana.

Her lips twitch upward, though it doesn't quite become a smile. ]

Peaceful. I'm not surprised — the first Jedi temple was built there. But there was something more to it, like I was meant to find it.

[ Destined, fated, to stumble across that island she had envisioned on lonely nights. ]
