Title: fire and smoke
Characters/Pairings: Mash
A/N: Written from the fourth singularity's knowledge. I'm guessing that the dream sequences are about Mash? (people ahead of me can laugh). Anyways, I'm just writing a bunch of snippets for each singularity as I go through them, as a writing exercise.
Summary: Fire and smoke. Mash blinked as she stepped out into this new world of brimstone, her eyes watering as the smoke stung them.

Fire and smoke. Mash blinked as she stepped out into this new world of brimstone, her eyes watering as the smoke stung them. All around her laid the charred remains of civilization, a fire raging through the ashes as though to even wipe that off the face off the earth.
This was not how the world was supposed to be. No, this was not how Mash's first experience of the world was supposed to be. She had read books of green pastures, of blue skies, of milling people. There was none of that here, only reds and yellows painting her surroundings and the thick, greasy feel of fat in the air.
"This is…" she muttered softly.
"Fuyuki." The director frowned, crossing her arms. Despite how she had cowered moments ago when the monsters appeared, she now was the picture of confidence. "Japan."
With those two words, any hopes that this was not Earth were crushed.
