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.

No! That's alright! I'm sure the strike will end any day now and I'll be back to work! Besides, I'm not sure if me working for your dad would really make him happy.

As for dating, I met this total babe! When you get lucky with a total babe you don't just sit around waiting for work to start back up!

You should get another job, Uncle Vash. How's your "total babe" going to feel about having a boyfriend that picks through garbage?

[Bulla's embarrassed for him.]

Have some self-respect. You're a Brief. You want to make it on your own? Work instead of sticking it out with the protestors on strike.

[She sighs. Still, he is family, and she's not as harsh as her father.]

Tell you what. I'll buy you some new clothes so you can look presentable for job interviews and for your date, but in return, you have to look for another job.

[goldenglasses]

But if I don't stick it out with my coworkers on strike I'll just find another job that doesn't pay hardly enough to live on! It's not so bad really! I'm sure things will be settled soon!

[But she's right. Fluttershy deserved much better than him and some nicer clothes to wear on their date would be good.] There must be some way I could pay you back if you do that. [Oh god, was he really going to accept new clothes from his niece?] I mean, maybe I could help tutor you or I dunno... you guys already have a gardener, don't you?
