Luceti Land!!

Who: [livejournal.com profile] luceti
What: Amusement Parking!
When: Today til the end of the month
Where: A veritable pleasure island, east of the Beach Fort.
Summary: An amusement park has popped up in Luceti. It's all over here.
Rating: F is for friends who do stuff together!

Just some notes here not in the mod post -
1) The weather will be bright and partly cloudy for the rest of the month on the beach side of things. A nice cool sea breeze will keep people from melting out there.
2) All the old Luceti Land rides are still available. However, feel free to make up your own attractions and rides as well.
3) Since this is around for two weeks, we may put up another mass log if this one gets too full. So keep an eye on that!
4) Don't forget to tag your character's name on to the log! If you don't have one yet, just let us know and we'll get you hooked up.

As way of explanation for all this, Bil will have written a message on the first page of the journals. It cannot be replied to, it simply states:

"My condolences for all the trouble. You were due for an experiment today, but I thought you might enjoy an amusement park instead. It seemed like the sort of thing the Great One would do."

[Ginia offers a tiny wave and a small curtsy before she takes Rupert's hand and goes to leave with him. The mood has grown a little depressing and here they are at the start.

Ginia looks over at Grune, growing worried for her new friend. There's more she'd like to see herself, but friends take priority first. Always.]


/Should we exit now? Or continue on?/
consultmybooks: (Basically contrary)

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2011-08-20 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Rupert smiles apologetically back at Grune.] Can't hang about all day. You know how it is - dogs to walk, sisters to avoid, dinner to help with. An' studying. [He grimaces in evident distaste] Always the studyin'.

[He waves at them.] Nice meeting you all. Have fun!

[And, with that, he'll lead Ginia out of the mirror.

Giles is silent for several long seconds before sighing tiredly and looking off, down the hall.]


Well, my curiosity is piqued.
lostinmyway: (Distant smile.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-08-20 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Once Rupert and Ginia have left, Grune finally turns away from the mirror. She still seems...absent when she replies:]

Oh, is it?
shadedsunlight: (Pay my respects to grace and virtue)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2011-08-20 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
/Mine as well,/ [Ginia adds softly, her focus on Grune and not liking how quiet she's become. Still, she forces a smile back on and gives a light wave down the waiting hall.]

/Maybe we'll see the children again. Or something happier./

[It's almost a painfully optimistic suggestion that Ginia doesn't quite believe in, but she takes a few steps away to a new mirror, staring at the now teenaged version of herself smiling back. But the reflection doesn't remain long, instead choosing to run further down, images flickering as she moves away.]

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2011-08-20 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Giles takes Grune's hand and gives it a squeeze.]

Do you want to go further in, Grune? Or, um, do you want to go somewhere else?
lostinmyway: (Tender.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-08-20 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
[The contact and direct question are enough to bring Grune the rest of the way back. When she squeezes his hand in return, the motion isn't automatic.]

Hmm.... Why don't we keep going? Maybe we can meet Rupert and Ginia again.
shadedsunlight: (She's a secret agent)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2011-08-20 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Ginia stays where she is, her mirror absent of a reflection, as she waits for Grune and Giles, offering a smile to the both of them.]

/My reflection is avoiding me./

[A joke, but it takes a few more mirrors before Ginia can find 'herself' again. This time the age and appearance is right, but the outfit is different. Her reflection is dressed in a light blue ballet tutu, the fabric delicate and light. She stands gracefully en pointe, one arm arched gracefully above her head with the other down low.]
consultmybooks: (Default)

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2011-08-20 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Giles' reflection doesn't avoid him - on the contrary, the wild, rough young man with far too many piercings and tattoos seems to have been waiting for him to pass by. Arms folded, he leans against the frame, staring insolently at any of the three who pass by him before smiling unpleasantly at the sight of Giles.

Giles scowls back, unconsciously shifting into a fighting stance before he remembers that this is a reflection.]
lostinmyway: (Oh my isn't this lovely?)

And now it's my turn to head off to bed. G'night all--this has been a blast!

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-08-20 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Grune walks up to greet Ginia's persona, since she came here first, but she gives Giles' persona a little wave to let him know she hasn't forgotten him, either.

She smiles at the Ginia in the mirror and says:]
Hello! Are you a dancer?

[When she moves past a mirror, Giles and Ginia should be able to catch a view of Grune as she is now, fast asleep...in a casket in the middle of an ornate ruin.]
shadedsunlight: (Everything about you resonates happiness)

Good night and sleep well! <333333

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2011-08-20 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Ginia's persona gives a graceful arabesque with a warm smile before straightening back up. Her signs are just as graceful, the voice translating warm and the Italian accent much more mature and pronounced.]

/I am. Three years with the La Scala Theatre Ballet in Milan now./

[She smiles, giving Ginia a knowing look.]

/Could have been four, but you spent a year in New York. Or rather, I did./

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2011-08-20 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you? Well, everyone should have the chance to travel once in a while.

[Giles is glad for the distraction from Ripper, hurrying over to join the other two and speak with Ginia the dancer.

Ripper is less pleased about the distraction from Giles - he shoots a decidedly rude hand gesture at the ex-Watcher's retreating back.] Oy! Don't ignore me, you ponce!


[Giles does notice Grune in the casket - he goes still, frowning in mingled concern and...outright horror. But then he remembers Moses' words, back when they first met. It's sad, but...she's hardly the only one.

It's an effort to look away from that, and back to Ginia.]
lostinmyway: (This is nice.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-08-20 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Grune murmurs an impressed "Oh, my," at the elegant movement made by Ginia's persona. But then she hears the young man's words.] I'm sorry--just one moment.

[She steps over to the next mirror.] Don't worry. We're not ignoring you. We just need to talk to Ginia for one minute, and then we'll come visit you, too.

[...She wonders what a "ponce" is. Oh well.

The real Grune isn't the only to be interrupted by the young man's words. The Grune in the casket sits up, yawns, and says:]
Oh, my, that was a nice little nap.
shadedsunlight: (I look at you and smile because I'm fine)

And FYI, Ginia's persona is a what-if, namely one where she leads a normal life.

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2011-08-20 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
/I do agree, traveling is wonderful. New York had plenty of opportunities, but you can't pass up Milan when you get the offer./

[Ginia's expression is nostalgic as she looks at her dancer counterpart, trying to make sense of her words. Certainly not the past, unlikely the future. An alternate? What could have been?

She snaps out of her thoughts enough to look at the other personas in the mirror, quirking a small smile at Ripper. There's something she wouldn't have imagined, though maybe some bad boys turn out to be relatively good boys in the end.

At Grune laying in the casket, her expression freezes, trying to make sense of it all again.

In the mirror, Ginia smiles and nods her head at Giles, though she turns to look off at Ripper with a small frown.]


/Watch yourself, Ripper, be nice to our company. There are also sl-- Oh, never mind./

[As Grune wakes up, Ginia smiles and bows her head.]

/Good afternoon, Grune./

consultmybooks: (Fading)

And Giles', naturally, is his "bad magic hates the world ticking time bomb guy" age 23 self

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2011-08-20 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Tch. 'Bout time you woke up. [Ripper sighs in frustration as Grune finally stirs.] I thought you really had gone and died that time around. And I'll be "nice" to our company when company doesn't consist of a twig in a blue frock an' Sleeping Beauty.

[Reasonably polite, if only because Giles at that age had a much better sense of who was or wasn't more powerful than he was. Giles, for his part, has his head in his hands from the sheer, gut wrenching shame of being at all associated with this person.]


I showed you your place once. Just because you're on the other side of a mirror doesn't mean I couldn't do so again.

[Again with the rude hand gesture.] Stuff it, four eyes.

[Determinedly ignoring himself, Giles looks back at Grune's persona.]


I'm glad you slept well, Grune. But that is a bit of an odd place for a rest, isn't it?
lostinmyway: (Stillness.)

Grune's is taken from her very first meeting with the party, so she's very much a blank slate now.

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-08-20 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Grune's persona looks at Giles without recognition.] Oh, do you think so? It was very cosy.

[Grune, on the other hand, gives Ginia's persona an apologetic look before speaking a little more firmly to Giles'.] That's not a very nice thing to say. You're going to hurt his feelings.
shadedsunlight: (The weather today is slightly sarcastic)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2011-08-20 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ginia's persona gives Ripper a hard glare, but shrugs it off. She's heard worse and she is a twig in a blue frock. She leans over to look at Grune's coffin, lips pursing together.]

/It looks soft enough, but it's still a bit odd I have to admit. But was it a nice nap?/

[Ginia herself gives Ripper some attention because, hey, someone has to. It's really almost quite amusing to see the difference, terribly embarrassing as it is to Giles.

...Sorry, Giles, but Ginia likes information.]


/What's your name?/
consultmybooks: (Don't talk to me)

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2011-08-20 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Embarrassing, hell. Try humiliating, shameful, and stomach churning. Giles used to be this - this disgusting waste of space, this idiot who played with forces far beyond any mortal's comprehension, this monster who got all of his friends killed, this thing he's spent every subsequent year trying not to be...

Ripper is entirely oblivious to Giles' discomfort, although his hackles settle very slightly when Grune addresses him.] Relax. Takes a lot more than me to hurt his feelings. Believe me, he comes up with worse to do to himself just fine.

[He taps his left arm and Giles can't help but wince. And ignore him, to address Grune's persona.]


I suppose it does look rather, um, cosy. But...Grune, how long were you asleep for?

They call me Ripper, by the way. In case you really were curious. Most everyone seems to be.
lostinmyway: (Troubled.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-08-20 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm. I wonder. [Here should be some pretty familiar confusion.

Grune looks to Giles for a moment, trying to see if the persona is right. Just in case he isn't and Giles' feelings are hurt, she lays a hand on his shoulder for a moment before moving over to the Ginia in the mirror, so she won't be lonely.]


It sounds like you've been to so many wonderful places.
shadedsunlight: (We hope everything works out)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2011-08-20 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
/Ripper. Interesting. Good to know./

[Even with the flippancy in her words, she spares Giles a glance, apologetic and understanding. She's the one with Alice running around and there's something she can't fix entirely.

Ginia's persona smiles and gives a small nod.]


/Dancing does that, touring companies and all. It's a lovely way to see the world./
consultmybooks: (Critically Distracted)

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2011-08-21 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Here is some very familiar confusion, and Giles can't help but smile at it. Grune...actual Grune...seems very resistant to changing.

And the reassurance is appreciated, because while Ripper's words can't exactly hurt his feelings, his mere existence is doing a very good job of it. Giles nods at Grune when he feels her hand on his shoulder - "I'm okay."

Then, to Ginia:]
You never mentioned touring companies.

[Not accusatory. Just curious.]
lostinmyway: (It's always a sunny day.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-08-21 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
You must meet all kinds of interesting people. [It sounds as though the Ginia in the mirror has a very fun life!

The persona of Grune divides her attention between the other personas and the real people, smiling in faint confusion.]
shadedsunlight: (There's a lot on your mind)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2011-08-21 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
/That's because I was never in any touring companies. Aside from competitions, I never performed outside of Davenport./

[Her current persona isn't as troubling or traumatic as Giles', but it represents the possibility of something Ginia doesn't want to think about. It's the what-ifs that have always haunted her and seeing one now, in the flesh shakes her down to her core.

But she needs confirmation.]


/Who are you?/

[The persona smiles sadly, a quiet pity that cuts into Ginia.]

/I'm what you could have been if your family hadn't been murdered./
consultmybooks: (Words of Wisdom)

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2011-08-21 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
You'll get a lot of that in here...well, you two will. [Ripper indicates Giles and Ginia.] Her, not so much. [He indicates Grune.] What you could have been if life hadn't kicked you quite so much in the teeth...or, hell, if it had kicked even harder.

[Giles, for his part, visibly flinches at this pronouncement from Ginia's persona. He tries not to look at Ginia herself, but can't stop his gaze from ticking over to her.]
lostinmyway: (Troubled.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-08-21 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Grune blinks. And then, like it or not, Ginia is getting a hug.

The persona Grune is now staring into space. With no one talking to her, she went off in her own head and had missed the persona Ginia's words entirely.]
shadedsunlight: (Tell me how do you feel?)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2011-08-21 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Her persona's words hurt. Ripper's words hurt. Even the looks Giles is giving her and the hug Grune offers hurt. But Ginia shows no reaction, just the slight tightening of her lips and tension in her body before she hides it all behind a smile and puts all her walls back up.

She looks over at Grune and returns the hug slightly - it really is appreciated - before she gently pulls away under the guise of freeing up her hands.]


/What did I go on to do?/ [She asks, fake cheer and all with a dash of masochism. It's required if she wants to hear about the life that had been robbed from her.

The persona's sad smile remains, but she dutifully shares, lightly dancing around the space with grace and poise.]


/I moved to Boston and began dancing there professionally around 23. Bartended on the side, sometimes times were hard, but I made it work. Dated a French businessman for almost a year, we broke up, got back together a few months later, he proposed, I said yes.

By the way, your sister eventually moved to Paris and has since rolled out her own line of clothing and owns a botique. Very nice, quite fashionable.

Your brother didn't quite make Broadway, but he had success off it and eventually began doing TV and film./


[Never has a happy ending felt so damning.]
