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.

It is not uncommon for people faced with such loss to try and erase it from their minds and create a better world to reside in. A fantasy.

Your uncle is proving to cling very close to his fantasy.

....It will take a great deal of time if we are to make any progress.

[Elizabeth takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. No progress then.]

But even if it takes a while, you can still help him, right? It hasn't become hopeless has it?

[mothergoose]

It will take a while. ...and there is only so much we are able to do when he fights every step of the way.

[She's not sure what she's going to say but the girls expression changes her tone to something kinder and she changes her reply.]

But it is not hopeless. I promise you we will not give up on him.

[Elizabeth can tell that the doctor is trying to raise her hopes a little, but even if it's a very slim chance she latches onto it. Because she wants to believe things will go back to how they were before.]

Thank you, Doctor Tenenbaum. I'll bring cookies next time!

[mothergoose]

That is kind of you. He will like those I'm sure.

And please. If you need anything, talk to me. I will do my best to assist.

[Because some of the others are just dragging people away to shock them and trying to reassure people is the last thing they care about. And oddly enough, it's starting to be something she does.]
