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.

[Oh, hey look, it's Oscar. Yeah, he probably shouldn't have pressed up all on the window.]

Sorry. But, I'm doing an investigation. I can clean it later.

[welnares]

[He peers into the windows, himself. He doesn't see anything worth investigating, but to each his own.]

You should leave investigations to the police. It's best to not step on anyone's toes.

[theboywiththebook]

I would do that normally...if it weren't for the fact that everything's completely different in Luceti.

[welnares]

[Completely different?]

Luceti Valley's been the same for years, unless you mean the strikes. But that's been going on for a while, too.

[theboywiththebook]

That's exactly what I mean. There's been no strikes or whatever in Luceti. We never even had a factory here and the whole place didn't look like this.

[welnares]

No factory? What are you talking about? All of that's always been here.

[theboywiththebook]

[Of course...]

You forgot too. Great.

[This makes it harder. Storybrooke all over.]
One question: do you know who I am?

[welnares]

[Well, that's an awkward question.]

This is the first time I'm talking with you. Should I know? There are kids with a reputation around these parts . . .

[theboywiththebook]

[Now it's 100% confirmed that Oscar is brainwashed.]

No, it's really not. If it was how would I know your name's Oscar?

[welnares]

[Oscar stares long and hard at the boy.

That is his name. This is getting a little eerie now.]

. . . You could have overheard it?

[theboywiththebook]

And how exactly? From the looks of how I am, I doubt I go to school with you. Or at all.

[welnares]

Not at all! I haven't been to school in almost two years. . . . I wasn't a popular kid, so it wouldn't make much sense even if I still were attending. I can't explain how you know my name, then.

[theboywiththebook]

So, that means I have to be right.

[Instant win.]

[welnares]

[Never.]

What if we're both wrong?

[theboywiththebook]

Would that make any sense if we were both wrong?

Besides, I know I'm not for sure.

[welnares]

Probably not . . . but my memory isn't that bad. I'd remember you.
