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 in fact an unsuspecting Peony that she will come face to face with soon when he reaches for the door just as she carelessly exits. But what's lucky enough for the both of them (him mostly) is that he's able to move out of the way with an agility he never knew he had, which allows him to avoid being hit and feel only the light graze of the door on his arm. Though in moving back so fast, he stumbles a little, eyes wide with surprise for only a moment or so.

The first thing out of his mouth when he sees her:]

Whoa. That was a close one... [and he smiles like it is no biggggg deal only a moment later.]

[Joy turns to utter shock and panic when Norma sees that there is, in fact, a person on the other end of that door. She herself stumbles, in her efforts to stop on her heels, or swerve, or something. Gasping, she catches herself - and her cake - by giving in and flopping on her rump instead of on her face. Ouch...but at least she and her cake are both safe, even if her backside is complaining.]

Oooh...ow. Hey, watch where you--....oooh....uh. [Oh jeez, even she's not dumb enough to not be able to recognize someone upperclass - the clothes speak volumes by themselves. Oh god, oh man, oh god--!] Oh my--I'm super sorry! Y-You're okay, right? Nothing, uh...scuffed or dirtied or anything, right? I was just in a rush, t-toootally my fault!

[Omigosh, don't call the cops or something.]

[dedicatednoless]

Watch where I - what? [With a smile still on his face, he is only teasing her. (It wasn't like he'd make her pay for something like a little dirt on his jacket even if that were the case, after all.) And only a moment later, he waves his hand to dismiss his words as a joke. Though if she were instead a guy, he might have kept up the act. As that isn't the case though, he held his hand out for her to take.]

Haha, don't worry about it. What's a pretty girl like you in a rush for anyway? Your boyfriend?

[bubblywishes]

[Ahaha...haha...ha. Norma smiles, but it's still pretty nervous. She's never once really been around an upper-class socialite before, so she has no idea what to expect. Her assumptions are only based off rumors and secondhand experiences and stories she's picked up from work. That, and the hardships based around the factory owners and the like. At least he seems nice, but she's learned to never trust an initial meeting with someone - masks are tricky things, she knows very well.

After a moment's hesitation, and wiping off her hand on her pant leg (heaven forbid he say something about that later or so), she takes his hand carefully.]

Uh...no. [Ahem.] I'm bringing this back for my brother. I had a good day at work, so I'm treating myself for once.
