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.

Sokka was glad he wasn't looking at her, because he ended up gritting his teeth at that. One of his parents had been from the lower class and while Sokka had never grown up poor, he knew how easy it would be to lose everything and be forced to move into Lowtown.

"That's one way to win, I guess."

I distinctly remember tagging this.

"It's the only way," she sighed. "I know it sounds harsh, but there are enough people breaking the strike that the other side doesn't have to compromise. It's not fair, but that's the way it works."

Ah, so it goes.

"I guess right and wrong don't really matter as long as it works."

"It's pretty awful to put it that way, but-"

She sighed and shook her head.

He was quiet for a bit, not wanting to argue with her when he didn't agree with her. Let the boss think what she wants. So he changed the subject.

"... I let Raven go. With business the way it is, I couldn't afford to keep her on."

Asami hesitated at that, glancing around. She hadn't realized it was quite that bad here.

"...Well, when things pick up we can hire her back."
