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.

That's true. The war started so suddenly. It took a lot of people by surprise. Including the military. [That's probably why they had been so desperate to put guns into the hands of ever lower class citizen of age that they could.]

Were you trying to prove yourself or something?

[ue_no_ue]

Hmm, I don't know about proving myself...

[ Though maybe there was some of that. Proving that he could protect his older brother and keep him alive. Proving that he wasn't a kid anymore, and should be treated with respect. Proving that the world couldn't break down two kids who pretty much raised themselves. ]

I think I just wanted to protect the person who was most important to me.

[ That much he can admit, because there's nothing shameful about protecting your loved ones. Even if the way he went about with doing it was kind of crazy. ]

[neversurrender]

[He studies him for a long minute, expression thoughtful.]

And that person is your brother?

[There's nothing but curiosity in his tone. And maybe a little understanding. He would do anything for his own brother.]

[ue_no_ue]

[ Kakashi nods, and really that's all the confirmation he gives on the matter. ]

[neversurrender]

He's a lucky guy, having a brother like you.

[ue_no_ue]

Aa, you give me too much credit...

[neversurrender]

I don't think so. I know how hard you fought. I was there, remember?

i'm off hiatus now! sorry for the massive delay.

[ue_no_ue]

Mm, it's a little hard to forget.

[ Some things never leave you during war. The men who fight beside you, most of all. ]

[neversurrender]

Though we may try...[His voice is low and twinged with sadness. He lowers his eyes to his desk. Some things would have been better forgotten.]

can we move to appointments? :) lol sorry for lack of AU icons. i ran out of paid time XD

[ Kakashi glances over to Steve, contemplative for a quiet moment. He would never hope to forget, because memory is one of the most important things he has. Remembering helps to keep the lost ones alive, the ones they couldn't save. The ones who were too young. The ones who were brave and strong.

And even if the act of remembering is sometimes almost enough to bring the war back to life with all of its visceral horror, it's important to never forget. ]

I don't know if I would try to forget.
