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.

I see... I'm usually at work still, but with the weekend rush for this party now finished up, I can make more time to come over.

Oh, I imagine that's keeping you quite busy! All those dresses and suits...it's rather nostalgic, isn't it? Homecoming.

You must have seen half of the outfits in Luceti for the dance, by now.

[wise_maiden]

Quite possibly. [She laughs a little.] And it is nostalgic. Some of them are very determined, with what they want already in mind... others are more timid about it. Some have been trying to find the gown they need for weeks on end. I only hope they were able to find what they needed in time.

[bided]

I hope so, too. You never forget your first homecoming - or your last, in that case.

...Dare I ask about the most particular dress order you've gotten so far?

[wise_maiden]

Well, you know the wealthy... I've had a few custom orders that took weeks to finish. Mostly due to waiting on materials...

[bided]

...What sorts of materials have you needed to wait on?

[ Gosh, she finds it hard to picture getting a dress in anything other than something simple, like...cotton. ]

[wise_maiden]

Chiffon, satin, sequins, lace... usually it's just waiting for a specific color.

[bided]

Still...creating such lovely things must be enjoyable for you?

[wise_maiden]

Oh, yes! It's a lot of work, but I wouldn't have tried to do this if it wasn't something I truly enjoyed...
