Luceti Valley - The First Log

[lucetimods]

Who: Everyone
What: The start of a new experiment... or is it?
When: August 2nd - August 6th
Where: Luceti itself
Summary: Luceti has become an idyllic and peaceful 50s-esque village. The first few days are just business as usual, right?
Rating: Varies with thread. Please move explicit stuff to appointments post with appropriate warnings.

August 1st had seemed like an ordinary day in Luceti. But late in the evening, for those night owls who had not turned in yet, they were witness to strange fluctuations in the barrier. Beautiful, really, almost like Luceti had received its own 'Northern Lights', even though it seemed to come from the far east, across the ocean. This ominous light show lasted for all of fifteen minutes before it ceased all together. Skimming the ocean waters, a horde of cultists entered Luceti, cloaked by darkness. Upon reaching the entrance to the tunnels, their leader stepped inside and was followed one by one by his fellow cultists. When the last had entered, the tunnel entrance closed. Across the mountains, the entrance to the tunnels in the village did the same.

Midnight passed without incident, but by three in the morning, the change suddenly came. Minds were altered, forms were changed, and buildings sprang from nowhere.

Much later, on August 2nd, morning settled on a changed village, the new mayor made his way to his mansion with his pair of adorable dobermans at either side of him. The sun shined bright. It was a good day to be a Lucetian.

Note: There will be a stand alone log for the homecoming dance. There will be another log for the second stage of the event.

[Speaking of poor people, Jane happened to be walking down the hallway with her nose in a book. While she wasn't quite a bookworm, she was still concerned about her grades, thinking that they were the key to pulling both her and her family out of their financial woes.

Unfortunately, that way of thinking often lead to her bumping into a lot of people at school. Oh dear.]

[ribbonbon]

[Oh dear indeed. When Jane bumps into her, Pilouette falls back on to her rear with a loud squeak. She frowns as she looks up at Jane.]

You know, you can usually get around better when you watch where you're going!

[disastergirl]

I was doing just fine until you showed up! [Which was...technically true, if only by her own brand of logic. While an apology didn't seem to be on its way any time soon thanks to that, in its place she offered Pilouette a hand up.]

Here.

[ribbonbon]

[Pilouette looks at Jane's hand for a moment before scowling. She stands up on her own, making a show of dusting herself off.]

I'm fine without your help, thank you. And what do you mean "until I showed up?" You're the one walking around with your face shoved into a book.

[disastergirl]

[She rolled her eyes the second she saw that little show of hers.]

It's exactly what it sounds like. If the hallway had been empty then there wouldn't have been anyone to bump into.

[ribbonbon]

[She lets out an angry little huff because WOW, no one talks to her like that! Well, not unless they have more money than her dad does, but that's not the point.]

Oh, really? Is this your hallway? I had no idea! ...No idea that you could afford it...!

[Yeah. She went there.]

[disastergirl]

It's not yours either! [P-probably...!? She snapped her book closed and balled her free hand into a fist.]

At least I'm not getting all smug about something I didn't even earn! Don't look down on us when we're working so hard!

[Yeah, that was a bit of a sore spot.]

[ribbonbon]

[Pilouette stands up as straight as she can (not that it helps, she's still kind of short) and frowns.]

You certainly aren't working hard at watching where you're going! And it's not like the money came from nowhere! Daddy worked hard to earn it all!

[Probably. He's a banker. Banking is hard work, isn't it?]

He's using it to give me [And her siblings, maybe, whatever] a decent upbringing! But it's not like manners cost anything, in case you didn't know.

[disastergirl]

Yeah, I know that. I'm still not going to waste them on you! [Oh geez. This wasn't going to end well, was it?]

You wouldn't understand even if I talked to you for 1000 years.

[ribbonbon]

[Not at all.]

As if I would talk to you for so long! It's only been a few minutes and you've probably already run out of useful things to say! Or you would have if you had anything worth saying in the first place.

[disastergirl]

How would you know that!? Don't pretend that you know even the first thing about me!

[She turned on her heel, but other than that she stayed put. Just looking at Pilouette was starting to make her blood boil.]

[ribbonbon]

Maybe I don't want to know! Why should I bother finding out when it would just be a waste of my time? Besides, you're the one who started this aren't you? And instead of apologizing for your mistake, you tried to blame it all on me.

Well. I guess that much is to be expected.

[She's really asking for it.]
