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.

_{[ And it was working, a bit. Kirk wasn't a big fan of big wigs - his fiance's parents made sure of that, since he thought of them as stuck up jerks but kept it to himself. He wiped his hands further on the rag and motioned to them. ]}

Well, they're mine, though my workers help out. We have the Meteor over there, the Tiger, and the Red Panther in that corner. My Panhead is out back - the best Harley on the market if you ask me. I can build just about anything and can definitely repair anything, but price depends on labor and the bike itself.

[misterbrief]

Just about anything, eh? How about some of the top of the line, streamlined racing motorcycles? [It was obvious to him that Kirk could handle everything on the market right now. But Vegeta has other plans, and he wants to know if the man could handle those too.

It's an interview without Kirk really knowing about it.]

[universal_charm]

Those? Hmmm, yeah, probably could. I haven't really dealt with them before, but once I get my hands on a bike all you have to do is learn the inns and outs of them to make it work. They all take a different touch, you know, but once you figure it out they melt in your hands! I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one, though.

_{[ And yes, that really is excitement in his voice over the idea. ]}

[misterbrief]

[He hears that excitement. And he'll try to play on it.]

Well then, that's good to hear. What if I told you that might be a possibility for you?

[universal_charm]

Well... I'd say that sounds like something we should sit down and talk over something a bit fancier than a Coke.

_{[ His heart beat in his chest, wondering what this was about, if this was the big break he was hoping for.}

Better money. A better life for him, Katniss, Loki, and his workers. ]

[misterbrief]

Then why don't you meet me over in Hightown tonight. Six P.M sharp. [He slips him his business card with the address of the restaurant on the back of it.] Don't be late.

[He walks out, headed to his car- and later that night he'll be at the restaurant as promised.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ He took the business card and considered it. He knew the name of the company well enough and was both excited, and nervous. He didn't have all to positive experiences with aristos. But, it was a potential client and he couldn't pass that up.}

So he made himself up as best he could in a nice shirt, slacks, and a tie. His shoes were a bit scuffed, but he made do and he wasn't going to go out and buy a shiny new pair when he had a wedding to help pay for. He'll speak to the host and show the business card and the man would lead Kirk over to Vegeta. ]

Mr. Brief.

_{[ He nodded his head and held out his hand for a shake - cleaned, even if there was some dirt still beneath his fingers. Hard to get years of grime out in one soak. ]}

[misterbrief]

[He doesn't take the extended hand. Not because of the grime, but because he's just rough like that- instead he looks at Kirk, and inclines his head to the seat across from him.]

Sit. I believe we have some business to discuss. [He takes a sip of the water in front of him, before narrowing his eyes.]
