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.

[This time the man turns back to Tenenbaum.]

"What the hell are you thinking?"

[Tenenbaum folds her arms at this.]

I am thinking you are making a mistake and are going to be reported for this. This is what I am thinking.

Now let us go past you.

[She makes the mistake of trying to move and the man steps in her way.]

"I don't think so Doctor. Turn around, we're going back."

[Robert stays silent, eyes casting around for something -- anything. Especially anything sharp.

At this point, reason is not going to help anything. Logic can only go so far. Sometimes, DeWitt's favourite reaction must be considered the appropriate one.

Sometimes, violence is more useful.]

[mothergoose]

Of course. I don't know what I was thinking. Will you keep an eye on the patient so we don't lose him?

[Tenenbaum replies softly as though there's nothing she can do. She's given up. The guard smirks and moves behind her. Going to to grab Robert's arm.

And as he moves he is hit on the back of the head with a wrench that Tenenbaum pulled out of her bag. And he crumples to the floor. Tenenbaum straightens up, leaving the wrench in one hand.]

Now we really must hurry.

[ablankpage]

...Remarkable.

[And yet, Robert smiles as he says it, looking at the crumpled guard at his feet.

Then-- Then, he looks at her, giving a bit of a smile.]

He's about my size, wouldn't you say, Doctor?

[A better disguise, if the time can be spared, than simply trying to pass him off as a visitor.]

[mothergoose]

[Tenenbaum glances to make sure there was no one to hear the collapse and then nods. A ghost of smile present.]

I believe you may be right.

[ablankpage]

Nothing more natural--

[Robert turned the man over, beginning to swap their clothes. After his arrival to Luceti and in the urgency of the moment, being in an undershirt and underwear in front of a relative stranger were very, very minor concerns.

He finished the swap, satisfied enough with the fit. A little loose on him, but nothing dramatic.]

--than for a doctor to be escorted out in all this chaos.

[mothergoose]

[She places the wrench back in her bag as he changes.]

Exactly. Now, let us leave before we meet anymore clever ones.

[Robert nodded, putting his hand at her arm lightly, as if he were leading her, rather than the other way around, and started back down the hallway.]
