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.

But how is that even possible? I remember doing it, but I've never done something like that before. And yet it felt like I...

[Like he'd done it before. But that's not where his mind goes. He looks back up at Cliff, realizing this is... probably a delicate question, but:]

I... I didn't... kill anyone, did I?

[It probably would have been difficult to tell, but he really did only know them unconscious.]

[The sheer panic in Ion's reaction was enough of an answer for Cliff. The words simply reinforced that. Cliff shook his head gently and kept his tone low, lest he spook the kid further.]

As far as I can tell, no one died.

[He knelt down so that he was at eye level, equalizing their standing in the conversation.]

Don't worry so much about not remembering. It was a mess back there, and it's probably for the better that you don't.

[In some ways, the event may have been too traumatic for the kid...]

...that's good. I'm glad. [He can try and push the incident from his mind, but even the fact that it happened at all was a bit alarming. Just what the hell did he do? And how?]

And I'm sorry for being so uncooperative before. It's been... a really strange week.

It's been a really whack week for all of us, kid. [Headscratch. He took it all on as he did everything else; head on, and without any complaint.]

Don't worry about it. At least you didn't get picked up back there, right? That...could'a been bad.

...I know. They've already taken me in for questioning once this week, though I still don't really understand what the purpose of it was.

Then it's just as well we got ya outta there. I've got no idea what they're doing anymore, but it sure ain't anything good.

...

You feeling okay?

...I feel rather tired, to be honest. I have a health condition that's made my body frail since birth, and I'm not supposed to overexert myself... though at this point, I'm not even sure if what I did could be considered on the same level as running or wearing myself out too much...

[Which might explain why he looks so pale... or at least, more so than he usually is.]

I think that was a few steps above the norm too.

[But still, the kid's health worried him. There was no guarantee that he would come out scott free if he was taken in again.]

If push comes to shove, I can carry you out. No problem.

Oh, I can't possibly ask that of you. You've already done so much to help me...

[Nevermind that Ion weighs about as much as a bag of feathers and really shouldn't be any trouble to carry.]

What, and watch you topple over 'cause you can't stand?

[Seriously. This kid was way too polite.]

Just take it. It's only if you start having problems anyway, so it's no biggie. Your health is way more important here.

...you're too kind. Thank you.

[He'll have to get use to that politeness because it's not going anywhere.]

When all this over, I'll have to find some way to repay you for saving me. It's the least I can do...

[headscratch.]

Nah, you don't need to go doing anything like that. [You're embarrassing him with the politeness.] I just don't like seeing things I don't like, is all. And, I don't like seeing people get hurt when it's not needed.
