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, right, because he was one of the rich kids...not that that mattered to Duck, but it was the facts. ]

Right, um...

What direction are you headed?

[soheartless]

[He looks around a bit as if trying to reconfigure his moral compass. Then he points towards a classroom.]

My class...

It's that way.

[ducked]

That's the way I'm heading! Maybe...we can walk together?

[soheartless]

Okay.

Let's do that. [And he begins to walk right then and there.]

[ducked]

[ OH HE'S WALKING okay. She skips up to keep pace with him. ]

Um...I'm Duck, by the way.

[soheartless]

Duck.

Hello, Duck. [He nods pleasantly. Not thinking to give his own.]

[ducked]

And...you're Mytho, right?

[soheartless]

Yes. That's my name.

You know it already.

[He's somewhat used to it - both due to his reputation at the school and the reputation of the Sigfrieds.]

[ducked]

Y-yeah, well, I mean...you're really popular...that's not weird, is it?

[soheartless]

Is it? I don't know. Is it weird that I am popular, Duck? I've never... considered that.

[ducked]

N-no, that's not weird at all, I mean - it's weird I know your name, isn't it? Sorry...

[soheartless]

No. Many people know my name. I don't think it would be considered weird. And now, I know your name. Duck...

[ducked]

Yeah...it's kind of a funny name, isn't it? Sometimes they call me Dunderaxe...

[soheartless]

I don't find it funny.

Dunderaxe... Why would you be called... such a name?

[ducked]

Uhh...well, some people like to tease me, since my last name is Thunderaxe...

[soheartless]

Oh. I see.

If that's so... I have been called by other names as well. Sometimes... They've called me Stinkfried. Or... Rich Boy. Or... [CENSORED.]... Or... [NOT ALLOWED]

[A pause.]

Are they also... teasing?

[ducked]

[ With each of those names, Duck's face turns redder and redder. ]

U-u-um - y-yeah, I think they are...

[soheartless]

I see. So you... Would you prefer to call me any of those names?

[ducked]

N-no, not at all! I'd like to call you Mytho, if that's okay...

[soheartless]

Okay. [He says pleasantly.] I'd like to call you... Duck.

[ducked]

Alright. I'd like that a lot.

[soheartless]

[A nod.]

That's good.
