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.

"Is that why mom never let us get a dog?" She leaned against the wall of the house, arms crossed.

[snikting]

"Keep talkin' like that an' I may have to show you some tough love, too."

[precipitous]

"How about instead I see if what I picked up from the shop today is any help?" She pushed herself off the wall, kneeling down next to her dad and his motorcycle.

[snikting]

He glanced over at her, frowning. Logan knew she liked to help, even though he figured half the reason was just a desire to one day ride this hog as well. Sometimes she had parts that helped. Other times... not so much.

"I hope it ain't another car part, Korra. Those ain't much use for a bike."

[precipitous]

"No, no, it's a bike part!" She fished it out of her pocket - a fork like Donatello had shown her how to use earlier. Probably not too useful for Logan's needs, but hey, every bit helped, right?

"It helps with with the breaking and steering systems. And, uh, keeps the front wheel on, too."

[snikting]

The bike had a fork already. It wasn't a very good one, though. He took a look at the one she had and gave it a few twists and turns as he inspected it. Frankly, it wasn't meant for this bike, but it was such a patchwork piece of machinery already, that really didn't matter. It had long since stopped belonging to any particular model.

"It might just work. A shame ya didn't find a spare motor lying around."

[precipitous]

She laughed. She knew the odds of that weren't particularly high, but who knew? "I'll keep an eye out for one. Or maybe sweet-talk Loki into giving me one for free."

[snikting]

"If yer talkin' about the mechanic's son, I think he's a little young for you to try wooin', lil darlin'."

[precipitous]

"Not if the way he was looking at me today says anything about him."

[snikting]

He fixed her a skeptical look, eyebrow raised. "I ain't gonna have to go talk to him, am I?"

[precipitous]

She shrugged a shoulder. "Nah. He got on talking about his homecoming date pretty quickly."
