UN: CallingIt [Video damn straight] backdated 14ish
[You're looking at a bridge. Asphalt, road, old rubble and garbage highlighted against a dreary noon sky. Three things are off.
i) the red dust is blowing everywhere, this way and that like a minituarized sandstorm. Maybe it just seems worse because your perspective is literally ground level.
ii) there's no sand. It might take a moment to spot what's probably become so natural (or soon will). The asphalt is as bare as the day the city was attacked. There's nothing to soften the sound of feet on the ground and keep vicious attackers at bay.
iii) you're moving. Or you seem to be. The view is crawling resolutely forward, navigating around debris with careful precision and rocking ever so slightly side to side when it traverses cracks.
What damn fool is this you may be mouthing (or maybe you switched to the sports channel, competitive wall staring). Regardless an unprompted tour of Ile Lacrox commences, working its way through the streets filled with Sound Eater birthing material (or like one street, there's like eight streets on island total, okay). It weaves in and out of the buildings, reminiscent of the rest of Reims, as its able. If characters give directions in the comments it might (!!!) even follow their suggestions/demands (if Tony's feeling generous, he might just do a donut to fuck with you).
Eventually after eight minutes or so the viewpoint approaches its apparent nemesis. Stairs. There's a silent showdown before the viewpoint begins to retreat and
—krinkle
The sound of a wrapper being disturbed. Almost instantaneously the viewpoint is upended as a Sound Eater pounces on it, rending, ripping, doing what Sound Eaters do. The viewpoint hits the ground and stares at the remains of a tortured rc car before going offline.]
((ooc: Tony will be replying with Rei's device [Pilot00] as his was the sacrifice to the Science Gods. He and Rei will both be answering folks, characters can have fun guessing which they're getting replies from. This has been Ile Lacrox: don't u fookn tell me what to do horror dangers, a documentary by Tony Stark and Rei Ayanami.))

Action
She watched as it crunched and motioned for him to come back with her, to get more distance on the island. Now that they knew water helped, she would take occasional sips of it to stay lucid. When far enough away to be sure nothing was going to happen, she typed on the device before offering it. Communication was going to be a bit slow.]
What have you learned?
no subject
So tramping back down the street it was, away from the red dust and it's disconcerting effects. Reaching across he typed his reply back on her device seeing as he was currently down his own. ...He'd need to see about making a less destructable one at some point.]
Something went down on that island. It's covered in what looks like a bunch of burst cocoons. Might be where these things congregate. Did you notice anything?
no subject
She put her finger to her lips, considering his question before replying.]
It may be a nesting ground. The red dust is strange. Why does the water affect it in this way.
[It, honestly, made her think of something otherworldly, for a sip to have done as much as it did.]
no subject
[A pause.]
Damn it. We're going to have to collect samples.
((Also I am stealing all my info from here fft. Not pulled out of my butt, swear.))

You need anything for your next attempt? Don't ask for my phone, 'cause I don't speak English. And you all don't understand hand signs.
[ well... not Japanese hand signs, anyway. ]

I was there.[It's also the first time she's ever seen video before, so that's taking the young Stark for a loop.] But I had to turn back, eventually. [And jump in the river to keep from suffocating.]
no subject
We had the same problem. [Obviously he didn't like being limited., even by creepy alien dust.] Did your hesring become sharper when you were in contact with the dust?
no subject
Water seemed to stop it.
no subject
Anyway, heartbeats are an internal sound. If what he suspects is true...]
I'm looking into the water thing. Could be useful. Were you able to hear sounds around you louder? Footsteps, your clothes, that type of stuff.
