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.

[Saori nods at her wife, grateful for the lead in. She clenches and unclenches her hands nervously as she tries to summon up the words.]

I...when I woke up this morning. I looked at a family portrait. [Swallowing thickly, she looks at him for just an instant before her furtive glance slides back to the floor.]

Barnaby. Have you...ever thought it was odd, how different you are from the rest of us? Hinata, Neji, and I especially. Your eyes are lighter, and so is your hair and skin. It's like...well I've noticed it with more than just us. So many people just...well they don't look like their relatives. Or have odd hair colors...

[tsunderebunny]

No.

[He hadn't noticed it. Not really, but he loved his family too much to care about some differences. However, on a deeper level he knew that it was a cause for suspicion...

Barnaby glanced out the window, frowning in thought.]

But things have felt a little odd lately. The dogs didn't seem to recognize me the other day, and they ended up making a mess of the whole house. It was quite a long clean up.

And this morning...

[He trailed. It didn't seem important, but the flames bothered him on a level he didn't understand.]

[She looks down at her hands, playing with her fingers nervously. Barnaby isn't put off, which is good, but still the subject makes her uneasy as she thinks of what to say next. She's not sure, and can't form the words to speak the thoughts she had, so she decides the best way is to stay silent and listen for the moment.

She looks at Barnaby, inclining her head as indicate that she's waiting for him to finish his sentence. She'd like to know what happened that morning, since he was also experiencing some of the strange feelings that they were sharing.]

[Saori reached out to her brother, leaning forward to take his hand if he'd allow it. It hurt, even thinking that it might not be true. And as far as she was concerned, it didn't matter. But it was just...odd.]

It's been more than that, too. I...can't quite explain it, but things have felt strange. I've been uneasy, and so has Hinata.

[Her eyebrows climb and she gives Barnaby a questioning glance]

What happened?

[tsunderebunny]

[Barnaby squeezed her hand in his when their fingers met and tried to ignore the stark contrast in their skin tone. He was notably more fair when compared to her, but the strength and gentleness of her touch was the only thing that truly mattered.

It was odd. He met her gaze, his eyes filled with questions of his own.]

...you wouldn't happen to know anything about a fire, would you? There was one in my dreams last night, and it was so vivid that there must be a reason. But, I can't remember there ever being one.

[Or remember many other details from their childhood, like birthdays or their mother's face.]

[sun_showers]

[A fire? She doesn't speak up, since she didn't know Barnaby until she'd met Saori. If there was such a thing, then she didn't know about it. She doesn't remember hearing anything about that from her wife, and that might be something that she was never meant to know about. Something of the past.

She still sits quietly, letting them speak for now.]
