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.

[There's no such thing as a baker's daughter who doesn't enjoy her father's baked goods. She thanks Eley with nod, though she doesn't move to take a cookie just yet.]

Thank you, but it's no trouble, really. If I take any more breaks than I do now then I'll have to start running to school to work off all these treats you bring home.

[Kiki speaks with a smile, letting her father know she was only kidding as she reaches for one of the cookies.]

[winds_voice]

Hm... but then perhaps if you did not work as hard I would not feel the need to keep treating you so frequently.

[He retaliates, returning a slight smile himself. Though there is still a hint of concern in his expression.]

You are young. While I appreciate your help and am proud to have such a responsible daughter, you should make sure to balance work and play. It is important.

[Heh, well said. Lacking a comeback, Kiki finishes her cookie and wipes the crumbs from her mouth.]

Dad, it's fine. I get plenty of playtime at school, and I get to see all my friends there too. [What few friends she has, anyway.] I know it's important, but it's just as important that I give you hand as well.

[He gives a soft sigh at that. It seemed it was impossible to deter his children from offering their assistance. All three of them were eager to help... he was proud of them if he was honest.]

Well, all right. Just make sure that you do not end up overwhelming yourself. You have a lot to think about at the moment. You do not want to find yourself drowning in chores and homework with the homecoming dance fast approaching, do you?

[He hasn't forgotten~]

[oceanviews]

[Neither has Kiki!! But she would be lying if she said homecoming hadn't escaped her mind a few times with all the work she's been doing.]

No way, I wouldn't want that. All my homework and chores will be done long before I need to-- [...] I haven't decided what I'm going to wear yet!!

[HORROR. She doesn't have many outfits to choose from, but this is still a very important thing!]
