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.

[The audacity of him. Her frown morphs into a deep scowl.]

My place? I began working here to repay the kindness that this family has shown me. And I have remained because of the friendships that I have formed as well as a love for my work. I am helping to feed the people of this town. What have you done lately?

Without me and people like me you would starve to death! So it is not your place to lecture me about my own!

[ishumanagain]

I am working with my father to make sure the town still has an oil business! Without us that wouldn't exist!

But the farm doesn't need you. You are replaceable. Another worker of your kind can take over and nothing would change. It shows just how disposable you all are. But none of you are the brains behind this society. We are! So really, yes, I can lecture you!

[funnygirl]

Well, oil! Yes, that is certainly something that keeps people fed or clothed or bathed. Or any of the other necessities that keep people healthy. Yes, oil is at the top of the list.

I hardly thing we would be left hurting very much if you and your father did disappear. The only thing that would change is the mode of transportation and having fresher air to breath.

So I suppose we're both very much replaceable.

[The rebuttal shuts him up for a moment. She has managed to rile him up so much that he is having trouble coming up with a fresh retort. He clenches his teeth together and emits what some might call a growl.]

You're wrong! You're completely wrong! I'm worth more than you ever will be!

[funnygirl]

And the very fact that you think that is why you're not! [She finally raises her voices, causing a few of the workers around them to stop and stare. She feels anger flush her cheeks and curl her hands into tiny, shaking fists.]

If you go through life treating people like the dirt you walk on then you're no better yourself.
