Luceti Land!!

[lucetimods]

Who: 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."

/...So what happened to being a badass vampire slayer trainer?/

[The questioning is appreciated as it saves Ginia the trouble of having to do so, but she's still going to blush and die slightly of embarrassment here.]

[consultmybooks]

[Giles' persona nods to Giles, unable to hide a frown of disapproval and several shades of resentment.]

That's his business.

I'm just a music teacher with far too little time on his hands and far too many plates to spin.

And, let's not forget, a family.

[Giles visibly flinches at this last. His voice, when he speaks, is an almost inaudible murmur.]

I do miss them. Don't ever say that I don't.

[lostinmyway]

[Grune doesn't particularly understand what's going on between the two Giles, but she does know that the persona said one thing that wasn't quite right.

And so she stands, walks back to Giles' side, and takes his hand.] Giles has a family, too.

[shadedsunlight]

[Giles' persona's words bring a small frown from Ginia, one mirrored by Alice. She glances over at Giles, her expression turning more sympathetic to him.]

/Seriously? What's with all these alternates that are smug asses about their life situation. I gotta say I like the one out there a bit more.

...Though you are fun to harass./

[consultmybooks]

A sentiment shared by the vast majority of my class, Alice. And I don't care. You think the world of him and that's fine. I suppose he must have some virtues.

His world isn't mine. And I wouldn't trade what I have for anything.

[He nods politely to the three outside the mirror.] Good day, Grune. I'll, um, I'll give your best to Dhaos. Good day, Ginia. It was nice seeing you, at least, rather than her. [He glares again at Alice, before looking back at Giles with an expression of mingled understanding and pity.]

And I'll...give your best to Vivi, shall I?

[Giles nods, suddenly profoundly grateful for the proximity of the other two.]

...I would appreciate it.

[lostinmyway]

Thank you, Giles. [The look Grune gives Giles' persona is no less loving, but right now, it's tinged with--disappointment. Not much, not very much at all, but on Grune...it's significant.]

I hope you and Giles can be friends someday. He's a very good person.

[shadedsunlight]

[Alice smirks and gives a lazy wave as Ginia gives an awkward smile and a polite bow.]

/Nice to meet you as well... Mr. Giles. Take care./

[She glances back at Giles, her expression softening.]

/Are you okay?/

[consultmybooks]

I'm all right. [His smile is very forced and...mildly affectionate, all at once.]

...he isn't a bad person, you know. Just, um...frightened. Quite often. And, um, it's only natural that he'd value blood family a little more seeing as how he...a-actually, um, has one. Quite a nice one.

...and I wouldn't wish dreams of my life on anyone.

[He sounds a little wistful, for a second, but manages to shake it off. When he looks to Ginia and Grune, he actually looks touched.

No one has ever actually stared their preference for him over his more normal, softer other self. It's heartening on many levels.]

Shall we move on, then?

[lostinmyway]

All right. [She gives his hand a little squeeze.]

I wonder who we'll meet next.

[shadedsunlight]

[Alice gives a small shrug as she gets to her feet and stretches.]

/You take the life you're given, but I like you more. I like a guy with backbone and who can put up a good challenge. The cupcake too./ [She smirks as she waves at them.]

/You guys go on now, I'll see you around./

[Even in between a state of facepalming, embarrassment, and wishing she could reach through that mirror and smack Alice, there's a smile, almost warm, as Ginia looks at her reflection.]

/Bye, Alice. Don't cause too much trouble out there./

[Alice gives a lazy salute before she's off, the mirrors bare once more.]

/Yes, let's all go on now./
