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.

None that I've realized so far...

[His voice trailed, distracted by a sound that was incoming...

From the left. Barnaby whirled and backstepped just in time to avoid another cop, this one armed with a club, attempting to strike him down.]

[Steve rushes forward, hoping to use the cop's preoccupation with Barnaby as the opening he needs to attack their opponent from behind. He grabs the cop's shoulder and spins him around, planting a punch across the side of his face. However he doesn't get away quick enough after wards and takes a hit to the shoulder with the club.

He stumbles back a few steps.]

[Barnaby seized the opportunity to take advantage of the blatant opening in the cop's defense as he struck Steve, lashing out with a sharp kick that knocked the cop back a few paces.

He quickly glanced at Steve, wanting to know how his 'partner' was holding up...]

[Steve catches Barnaby's look and nods. He rotates his shoulder, checking to see if anything hurt. All clear.]

I'm okay. Give or take a bruise or two.

[He sighed, relieved.]

That's good. We can't afford being hurt at this point.

No, we can't. Not if it means risking capture by these guys. They don't seem like the friendly sort.

Seem?

[They're not. Barnaby suspects that they're the reason he only has scattered memories of the last few days, even though he has no confirmation. Just observing their actions and reactions against the people within the city is enough for him to hold judgement.]

[Steve shrugs.]

Okay that might be giving them a little more credit than they deserve.

[...]

We'll have time to worry about their motives and orders once we figure things out here. There's other people around who still aren't used to these...'talents', or whatever we have. Maybe we should go look for them...?

[He nods.]

Yeah. They shouldn't be too hard to find. They'll be the people throwing cops through walls and then looking surprised. [It's a weak joke, but he's looking to lighten the mood a little.]

[Touche~]

Broken walls certainly are a concern...

At the very least, we might be able to help prevent some structural damage around town.

That would be good. The last thing we need is to have to re-build the town in the aftermath. Besides, people might be in those buildings. [Which is clearly the biggest concern.]

I agree..

[But they were stationary, and forces would be coming.]

We should move. It's not wise to stay here.

Right. Let's head further into town, see who we can find.

[He starts heading down the street at a quick sprint, not stopping to see if Barnaby is following or not.]

Actually...Steve.

[Barnaby called after him.]

I think we should split up for now. We'll cover more ground that way.

[He stops and turns, caught off guard by Barnaby's words.]

Uh, yeah. Okay. Good thinking.

[He knows the plan makes sense, but he can't help but feel that there's more to it. Oh well. It's not his place to pry.]
