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.

...Yes.

I ...need some time to clear my head.

Besides, haven't take time off in years.

[towered]

Well, I'm happy to hear it. The time off, it'll be good for you.

[mothergoose]

Yes....I hope so.

[And she does, but she doesn't believe it would be that simple either....just...

She sighs and has a drink of her own tea. With her daughter, she's sitting here with her daughter and they aren't fighting and she can feel the small bit of hope that refuses to leave her ...that maybe just maybe they can work things out.]

I...

I was wondering if you ....perhaps would like to visit ...when I am on this break? ....if you are not busy of course....but ...I have missed you.

[She wraps her hands around the cup looking at them, not her daughter.]

[towered]

You...wouldn't mind me stopping by? I mean--I would love to visit, mother. I'm usually busy, but this is something I'd be sure to make time for.

[ She can't keep the smile off her face,and ends up looking like the kid who got exactly what they wanted for Christmas. It was silly. It didn't mean things were going to get better, but it was certainly a step in the right direction.

She looks down to her cup, a little embarrassed by her still present smile. ]

I've missed you, too.

[mothergoose]

Of course not. I would ...I would very much like you to.

[And she actually looks up at that, because it's true though she's not good at saying that. She blinks, the smile is still on her daughters face and this is a good sign.]

I am...I am sorry things... have not always worked out.... the way they should.
