Luceti Valley - The Second Log

Who: Everyone
What: The second part of the experiment. Things begin to unravel.
When: August 7th - August 10th
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.

[Not into, as the smell of alcohol as well as certain natural reflexes that Itachi doesn't realize he has cause him to step out of the way just in time. He's on high alert without meaning to be, the cane in his hand gripped tighter than usual and ready to be raised as a weapon at a moment's notice.

He's tired, though, and on his way home from work, so he's going to do his best not to start anything. His generally polite nature helps.]

Pardon.

Oh-- oh, s'good you're pardoning. We could all use a little of... that. Right now, right, my man?

[He's never seen this guy in his life. He's not in the right part of town to know too many people. But he says this with an obnoxious overly familiar sounding tone]

[Itachi doesn't pay much mind to the tone. The man's clearly intoxicated.]

Yes, we usually can.

[He begins to move slightly out of the way, or at least attempts to.]

I assume you've had a long day, so I won't keep you.

Bu-t But, what about you? Has the day been short for you?

[As he says this he tries to stick his leg out to stop movement from Itachi, but overbalances and almost trips over. He catches himself though]

[Itachi is stopped by the man's movements anyway, and automatically reaches a hand out to steady him.

He shouldn't even be bothering, really. He needs to just walk past him and get home. The drunk doesn't seem like much of a threat yet, though.]

My days are rarely short.

Nawww, of course not. [As he tries to get steady back on his feet, this is said] There's stuff to do and people to see and no one wants to sleep, right now. No sir.

And how long has it been since you've slept, if you can recall?

Two day? Right? Right....? I think!

That's a while. Even if you don't want to, a little rest will do you some good.

[He pauses to consider his next response. It would be the drunk leading the blind...]

...Do you need company back to your home?

Are you even allowed there? We're a little gated.

I would only go to the gate itself.

[He wouldn't want to make his way into a gated community even if he'd been invited, really.]

S-okay, boss man. Let's do it! After all, the blind leading the foolish, that seems like it might be pretty legit!

[He's sure he's going to regret this later.]

If you start us off in the right direction, I will follow. We can... converse.

[Jeez, what's some random guy like this doing being helpful, doesn't he know the whole world's mad and he doesn't belong? But you know what, it'll be fun, so eh looks at all the street signs, recognizes none of them, but then turns in the irection he figures points towards the lake]

Deal~

[And we're off]

[Unfortunately, Itachi isn't the most talkative of people, so he's left at a loss on what exactly they should "converse" about.]

Were you, ah... enjoying yourself this evening?

Not at all.

[That's said with a moroseness which even surprises him. Not to mention a frankness. He sighs a little and-]

What about you?

I have been at work all day. So it's merely business as usual.

[If one didn't count his worsening illness and the deep sense of wrongness that he's been feeling lately.]

Eeeeeh, that's good. I think a lot of people have been pretty mad.

Over the taxes... yes, it's understandable.

[He isn't exactly thrilled himself. His family is angrier still.]

My brother and I will have to cut corners.

Yeah? Sucks for you, my man.

[... Hm. He just sort of shrugs]

[He doesn't expect much sympathy from someone in the upper class, and it doesn't anger him.]

Yes, it does. [Just the truth of it.]

What about you? What do you spend your days doing?

Mm mm hanging around. I've got stuff going on, plenty of stuff. [Which he can't seem to connect right now Because he seems to have some other ideas than what he usually does]

I see.

[That doesn't tell him much of anything, but he isn't going to press things with the man being in the state he's in.]

I suppose that should have been apparent.

It's true, it's true! I'm a man of the world, going out making a stir wheeereever I go to!

[And at this he twirls, planning to skip up onto a nearby bench as part of a habit he didn't know he had, but in his current state he instead over-balances mid-twirl, almost falls, and catches himself before he does]

[Itachi doesn't see the maneuver, but hears the stumble.]

Careful.

Much of a troublemaker, are you?
