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.

[ Shouldn't be here and definitely not interacting with Helios of all people. But the librarian doesn't mind and he wasn't expecting Max to show up here, it was a nice surprise and he did like surprises. Helios laughs happily as he bends down to give Max a kiss on his cheek, his hands moving away only after the fact. He'll step around to the front of the other a dreamy smile touching his lips. ]

You got it in one. But then again you are very, very bright. Should T give you special prize for that? [ Helios' prizes could range in what they entail though by the look he's giving Max it would probably be something scandalous. ]

Or maybe not in public. I'm sure that wouldn't go too well with the news however. We wouldn't want your good name run through the mud, now would we? [ As he bends in closer to give Max a soft, gentle, but insistent kiss. ]

[abjurer]

[How can Max possibly resist when Helios greets him like that? He leans back against the bookcase, smiling at the other man fondly. He's not sure how this happened, and it's difficult, he's not going to pretend otherwise, but he wouldn't change it.]

I do like prizes, I have to say. I like winning.

[Especially when Helios gives him such a look of heated promise.]

I am pretty good at doing that myself.

[He smiles when Helios leans in and kisses him back, letting it become a little more heated.]

[folklorist]

Of course you do, dear. I don't think anyone likes losing, unless they're rather content with it. [ Who didn't like winning? Helios isn't about to lose, especially to society and especially about this of all things. ]

Well I suppose it getting a bit more dirty isn't a bad thing then. [ That heated kiss is just what Helios is looking for as he makes a pleased noise in the back of his throat. ] You're far too nice for a lowly librarian like me.

[ His hand will run through Max's hair before resting lightly on his shoulder. ]

[abjurer]

[That's one thing they can definitely agree on. Max isn't going to lose this. He refuses to.]

I can do dirty. Filthy even. [He keeps kissing him, drinking him in, swallowing that sweet sound out of him.]

Not true. I am a terrible, wicked man. Not nice at all. [He grins and takes the excuse to kiss him again.]

[folklorist]

[ Helios gives a breathy laugh as Max returns the fervor just as heated as he does. Bystanders be damned he really doesn't care at the moment as his hands trail and roam over the other man's chest and arms. ]

Well, perhaps I should greet you more often at the library like this then.

[ He wasn't expecting Max to be...enthusiastic about the greeting. But the other had surprised Helios more than once before, it was one of the reasons he loved the other man. Helios did love his surprises and twists. ]

You are a wicked man, Max, but I don't think I'd have it any other way. You just need someone to discipline you some more. [ And with that he'll laugh a little and give Max another heated kiss. ]

[abjurer]

[He lets the kiss linger, soaking in Helios's warmth and passion and god, he is so lost, so utterly smitten. It's quite ridiculous.]

I'm not going to object, believe me. You should come visit my library at home too.

[Sneaking him in would be half of the fun, even if he knew mother probably wouldn't object to having a guest, no matter their class.

He groans softly at the words, melting into the next kiss.]

Mmmm, sounds like a fun evening to me. I suppose you'll tell me next that you're a fantastic disciplinarian?

[folklorist]

I would love to take a gander at your collection. If-if you'd have me. [ A proper expensive and well maintained library was one of his favorite things. But being allowed to in might be another matter entirely. He'll smooth out the collar of Max's shirt, a smirk on his lips. ]

Perhaps we could past the time in there reading together. [ So not subtle at all but Helios was far from that in this universe. The husky note in his voice indicative that reading is hardly the only thing he'd like to do that library. ]

I knew you wouldn't object. I can be, when the mood takes me. [ That soft groan and repeated kissing makes a fire spring up inside him. A fire that he'd love to act on and fuel right in that moment but he manages some self control. ]

[abjurer]

Of course I would. I'd love that.

[His next words make Max smirk, gaze half lidded and hungry as he pulls Helios closer against him.]

Perhaps we could. Plenty of space, privacy... I can think of a few things I'd like to show you.

I'll just have to make sure to catch you in the right mood then.

[folklorist]

Oh? Good, good! I wouldn't want you to get bored with me too quickly after all.

[ Helios will oblige and smile back in a dreamy stare. ]

I'm sure you would. I can only imagine the types of books you have in that library of yours. [ Helios laughs slightly as that smile turns into a slightly heated smirk. ]

Ah. Well. It comes and goes as with everything. Perhaps you'll catch me in the right mood when you show it to me.

[abjurer]

I don't think I could ever get bored with you.

[His voice shifts subtly into something less teasing and more genuine. Helios isn't some passing fancy. Not that Max hasn't had plenty of those. But this is something different.

He reaches up, stroking the side of Helios's face and giving him a fond look.]

Do you ever feel like just... running away from here? Going somewhere new?

[folklorist]

Mm you always know the right things to say, love.

[ Helios will smile while giving Max another soft, gentle, kiss. His own hand coming up to lightly stroke Max's. He'll pull away abruptly though, a look of surprise and intrigue on his features. His voice will drop low to almost a whisper as he looks around with a few glances in all directions. ]

I have actually. It's...the strangest thing, isn't it? Why have we never left this place when there's an entire world out there for us to explore. It's a tricky question if there was one, I never really gave it more than a passing thought. But when you mention it now...I feel as if we should be questioning it more.
