Event Log: Dust to Dust

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for the Dust to Dust event
Where: All over the city!
When: January 14th-17th
Warnings: A big ol' mess.

It starts off small: the wind picks up, particles of sand and dirt and dust begin to fill the air. You might not even notice at first, not until you have to wipe the dust off your windows to see outside. After all, it's been a long time since Hadriel has experienced weather, and it's never experienced a weather event not caused by the gods before.

But the gods aren't in charge of the weather now, and even if they could prevent this dust storm, they have way too many other things to do. So it's up to you to deal with it, and as the wind rises and the dust storm moves into the city, there'll be plenty to deal with.

Once the storm is at its peak, it'll be almost impossible to see outside - and it won't be safe to go wandering, either. Entirely besides falling and hurting yourself, if you aren't wrapped up well enough the particles in the air will abrade your skin. Love that sandpaper feel! Oh, and breathing? Yeah, better make sure your nose and mouth are covered, or else they'll be full of sand, too. Hope you've got some goggles stashed away to protect your eyes. Luckily, it won't last too long - 'cause you'll have plenty of cleaning to do once the storm is over.

"Finest one on this side of no where." He jokes as he pulls at his suspenders. "Leo Valdez, at your service." He doesn't offer his hand, but he gives her a wide grin. "Looks like we can scavenge a lot of the parts but... there's probably no use repairing it right now."

Not with the dust or the storm brewing. Not with the wind and the chance they were going to be buried under sand. He only really went out looking for a dead Null or any parts that might have come with them -- but he was glad to meet another engineer.

"Did you build this?"

"If you say so..."

She isn't one eager to see who can spit the farthest in terms of engineering skills. In all fairness, her own is sub-par -- passable at best, but hardly the 'finest' there is. So she'll take all the help she can get.

This storm is really starting to kick up, though. Rey exhales through her nose and pulls the goggles over her eyes as a gust of wind blows a sharp dusty breeze their way.

"Had some help, but it was my first project after coming to this place, since Hope was talking about cutting off some supplies to conserve his own strength." She grimaces at the remains of her work. What a sad graveyard of hard labor. "It wasn't perfect, but it was able to provide a mini-grid of hydroelectric energy to the residential parts of the city."
