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.

[Jack grins approvingly, lifting an eyebrow in Max's direction.]

And how wholesome is this going to be, really.

[abjurer]

If it was going to be crochet and tea, I'd just have invited you to one of the country club's ladies' afternoons.

[250mhzwabl]

Turn on the Lowtown charm a little then, is what you're telling me.

[It's not the first time they've played this game, but Jack is far from tired of it.]

[abjurer]

If you're up for it. You know they lap it up.

[It amuses him and infuriates him in equal measure.]

[250mhzwabl]

Once the drinks are flowing, sure. Nobody can get enough of it then.

[Jack huffs a hint of a laugh, strolling along the row. He waits until they're well into the greenhouse before dashing the spray of the hose across Max with a little grin.]

[abjurer]

[He gasps as the cold spray splashes over him, and sputters in indignation.]

Oh, it is so on!

[250mhzwabl]

[Grinning fiercely, Jack takes a slow step backward, shaking the hose out to his side and hitting Max with another cold, quick spray of water.]

Oh yeah?

[abjurer]

You! You are going down, Lauchlan.

[He dashes to the side, behind one of the rows of plants, grabbing for the watering can.]

[250mhzwabl]

[Hooting, Jack dives behind the shelter of a nearby table, hose at the ready as he sneers in his best terrible gangster accent.]

You'll never take me alive, copper!

[abjurer]

[Max snickers for a moment, ducking down with the watering can.]

You're outnumbered and outgunned! Come out with your hands up!
