Luceti Valley - The Second Log

[lucetimods]

Where: Luceti itself
Summary: Check out the mod post for more. This covers Day 6-9!
Rating: Varies with thread. Please move explicit stuff to appointments post with appropriate warnings.

Luceti Valley continued in its own merry little way. The rich got richer, the poor got poorer. A new tax hike had ensured increasing animosity between both groups, despite the protests of the every charitable Lord Mayor. But on the sixth day, something happens and people begin to notice things are unusual. Idle thoughts that if thought about too much is bound to get you a visit to the police station for an hour or so. Or worse, it may just get you committed.

Meanwhile, the asylum continues to gain more and more patients. Those that are trapped there will find escaping difficult, but there may be more to this place than they first assumed...

On the tenth, battle breaks out across Luceti Valley. People begin to exhibit powers and abilities they didn't know they had. The police begin rounding up these people to lock up. If they resist, its bound to come to blows. Even though no one has regained their memories of their true self yet, it becomes apparent that some trickery is afoot, even if they might not know the source or why.


Note: This is the second log! There will be a third and final event log for the aftermath. There will also be two separate logs specifically for finding John and defeating Zompano. For those of you that signed up, we'll be randomizing the results and replying to the selected characters later tonight. In the meantime, keep enjoying the event! If you have questions, direct them here.

<sub>[ Sorry, Don, your boss isn't in a good mood when he comes into work. He looks like he's had no sleep, blue eyes looked tired and more than a little angry at the world.

In fact, when he comes in, he stops and stares at the bikes and the tools and the benches and everything else with a look that says it was wrong, all wrong, like he didn't know where he was or why.

But then he shook his head, grumbling and rubbing his temple.]</sub>

Stupid headache...

[i_speak_softly]

[Don just got in himself, delayed by the unrest in the streets. Not that Mr. Kirk needs to know that!]

Are you all right, sir?

[universal_charm]

_{[ He looked over at Don, for a minute wanting to snap at him, demanding why he was a turtle of all things... but stopped himself. It wasn't fair, taking his anger out on the other. ]}

Yeah, yeah, just... slept bad, that's all.

[i_speak_softly]

[Weird, Mr. Kirk doesn't usually glare at him like that.]

You didn't run into any of the fighting, did you?

[universal_charm]

I saw it, but I steered clear. It wasn't my problem.

_{[ Katniss would not have thanked him for it, and the mood he was in? Well, it wouldn't have ended nicely for anyone, including himself. He didn't need bruises weeks before a wedding. ]}

I'm guessing you didn't either? Since you're here and all and I don't see you holding ice to anything.

[i_speak_softly]

No sir, I came straight here. [Not true.] You're not going to close the garage, are you, Mr. Kirk?

[universal_charm]

_{[ He shook his head again. ]}

If there was one good thing I learned from my Uncle, it's that you don't let someone scare you out of house and home. And this might as well be my second house.

_{[ He's not going to mention that he had been in talks with Vegeta over possibly moving the operation, but he wasn't sold yet... ]}

We have bikes to finish, and some rough and tuffs beating each other up isn't going to stop us hitting out deadlines.

[i_speak_softly]

[He nods.]

Let's get started, then.

[universal_charm]

Right... Bring out the Meteor and the Red Panther. They're almost done, so I want to check their pain jobs and run final checks and then give them a nice wash before we phone the owners for pick up and delivery.

_{[ He was proud of his work, and he never let a bike come out of his shop that didn't look like it hadn't started out on a show room floor. Period. He went to grab a towel and some wax, cracking his neck as he did so. ]}

Ugh, I think I might close this place for a nap later.

[i_speak_softly]

[Don shoots Mr. Kirk a worried look, but goes to retrieve the bikes. Things are weird, but he's at work and he's going to do an excellent job, just like any other day.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ And Kirk appreciates that immensely. He wasn't sure he could handle talking about this sort of thing. It wasn't the sort of thing a Captain... a boss should talk about. He didn't want to worry Don with it, and it would be unfair to put his own burdens on Don. ]}

You want to rev up the Meteor and take her for a spin around the lot? See how she feels, make sure we have no hiccups.

[i_speak_softly]

[He glances towards one of the garage's small windows.]

Are you sure it's safe?

[universal_charm]

Just keep close. If you're moving, I don't think they'll hurt you. Up and down the street, that's all.

_{[ He hoped that would be enough to keep them out of trouble, but he made a mental note to get a crowbar and keep it close, just in case. He was a good brawler, but a heavy weapon would be better at warding off a fight to begin with... ]}

[i_speak_softly]

[This seems unwise, but far be it from Donatello to disobey an order from his boss or pass up a ride on a sweet bike. He starts the Meteor and rides carefully out of the garage.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ Kirk follows like a worried parent, watching the bike, his crow bar in hand just in case. If Don had any problems he'd be over there in a second. Like hell he was going to let anyone touch Don...}

He bit his lip, listening to the rumble of the motor, the way Don rode when he could see him properly. ]
