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.

[You might find your distant aunt in the library looking through books on the shelves.]

[Eleanor is just coming around the corner when she spots the older woman. She hesitates for a moment before offering her a smile.]

Hello Aunt Brigid.

[mothergoose]

[Which gets her attention. Right family member. She'll offer a thin smile in return.]

Ah, hello Eleanor.

How are you?

[notyourutopian]

[The teen shrugs.] Fine. Just looking for something to read. Ah...

It has been a while.

[mothergoose]

Yes....

I'm afraid work ...has kept me busy.

[But that is always the case isn't it.]

....Have you spoken to Flora recently?

[notyourutopian]

I see her every few days. [Eleanor smiles, but it falters.]

...Are you two still not speaking?

[mothergoose]

...No. Not as such I'm afraid.

[notyourutopian]

I'm sorry. ...she is doing well, if that helps.

[As well as anyone in lowtown, at least.]

[mothergoose]

...Good. That is good.

....thank you for telling me.

[notyourutopian]

Of course. [She smiles some.]

We haven't seen you in ages. Maybe you should come by sometime?

[mothergoose]

[That's...strange but after a brief moment she nods.]

If...If I can...that would be nice.

[notyourutopian]

...You don't have to.

[She noticed that hesitation.]

[mothergoose]

Ah...no I would like that.

....thank you.
