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.

A thousand reasons... [ Ororo shakes her head with another sigh. This was difficult. As Wanda's mother, she knows she had a bit of a right if she wanted to be angry - but all she felt was sadness on the part of her daughter, as well as for Theodore. Because as disappointed as she was, it was hard to miss how much he was struggling over this.

Her heart went out to him.

She reaches over to cover one of his hands with hers. ]

Theodore? Look at me, please. [ She gives him a beat, before continuing anyway. ] It's okay. It is going to hurt, but if you know Wanda as well as you say you do, then you know that she is such a strong girl. [ She smiles faintly. ] Stubborn, too. Both of which she has her father to thank for.

[ A soft chuckle. And then, firmly, as she squeezes the hand she's holding: ] But she will be alright. Not right away, but eventually. I know it, and you know it.

... But thank you, for coming over to tell me. That... It's very thoughtful of you.
