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.

[He lets out a heavy sigh.]

... I should be the one helpin' you, not him.

[Which is what makes it hard taking it out on the kid. He knows Shikamaru means well. And he's doing what Logan can't. Maybe that's what the worst part of it is. Logan has known for a month now that he's beat. It won't be long before he has to sacrifice the rest of his pride and go back to work.

He'd just really wanted to do better than his own parents had.]

[Makie peers at Logan over the top of the fridge door measuringly. Then she lets the door swing shut, planting the two bottles on the benchtop.]

You've helped me all my life. I've had to raise Shikamaru without his father's help-- he's only returning the favour by helping now. You'd do a hell of a lot more if you could, I know that.

[It's just. Complicated. In a very ugly way, with no good way out of it for any of them.]

Did you talk to him about it?
