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.

[Cato has learned from days of elementary school: bruises where teachers or parents could see them were going to only get him in trouble. He had a long career of making other people's days miserable, long enough to know where to hit or what to say.]

Nope. [He smirked, popping the 'p' as he walked in front of Loki and rested his hand on the adjacent wall, using his size to his advantage.

The rest of the class was getting lectured, for the moment, on sportsmanship. Cato had slipped out when he noticed Loki doing the same. He had about ten minutes.]

Why would you wanna leave? It's not like you have anywhere else to be.

[There was a defiant look on Loki's face. He did not want to attend the dance covered in bruises.]

Yep-p-p.

[And he pops the p the same way as Cato did just yet.]

Otherwise I'll scream and yell and everyone will witness how you spend your free time with pummeling innocent people like me. My word, think about your reputation.

[He is pushing it and he knows it so very well.]

So I will turn around now, you see? And after I have turned around I will leave. Very, very quickly.

[Cato smirks, maybe feeling a little flare of worry at what Loki says but he knows the score. He knows that won't change things.]

Oh, what you think everyone's going to start feeling bad for you? Kid, nobody cares about what I do in my spare time. No one cares what you do in your spare time, either.

My reputation is way more protected than you are.

[To illustrate his point, Cato pushes off the wall with a startling practicality to his movements and wraps Loki's neck in his arm - holding him tight. He might be small but Cato knows the kid could fight back if he felt so inclined. Still, he keeps his tone light and false as he holds onto Loki.]

But if you're so worried about people finding out you're getting your ass kicked on a daily basis, maybe I should put you somewhere safe, huh?

[Loki does not struggle. Not yet. But the arm around his neck is uncomfortable and he utters a couple of sounds before he speaks.]

I am not the one who is...worried. You are. Big...difference.

[And Loki can fight back, even though he does not possess much strength, he does make an attempt to hit Cato's shin with the back of his feet, and he starts digging his nails into the skin of the other's arms.]

You have...everything to prove.

[Cato grunts when Loki nails him on the bone of his shin and reassesses his grip on the little runt.]

You know, you'd be surprised about how much I don't care what you have to say.

[He's trying to bring Loki closer to the lockers lining the walls inside the room. Bullies weren't very creative.]

[Loki utters a strained sound when the grip tightens.]

You do. And that is your...problem.

[He wonders if Cato would reside to that 'good old' putting-in-a-locker-thing again. Bullies could be so very predictable.]

All the strain...from back home. Nothing as good as pummeling...a boy who does not possess...oodles of money to make you forget..., yes?

[His breathing sounds heavy and he swallows difficultly.]
