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.

"She's doing well," Ami says. "Her test scores have stayed high in school, and we're proud of her for working so hard."

This is true. It's also more true that Arya seems much more interested in helping Luke than around the farm, than in following Ami's academic path. It's alright by her, really.

"I'm glad to hear it. Really. I mean, it was kind of expected considering who her mother is." Ami had always been smart and not half as lazy as Max had been in school. "I'm pretty sure she'll be amazing whatever she chooses to do."

Ami admits what she'd been thinking, noting, "She seems most interested in spending time with Luke. She's definitely her father's daughter."

She isn't sure, really, whether it's the farm or Luke that's really Arya's draw. Maybe it's both. It doesn't really matter. It makes Arya hard-working and productive, and it lets father and daughter develop that close relationship. Sometimes she wonders where she fits into that, and she tries to make time with Arya, too.
