Luceti Valley - The Second Log

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.

[Vash doesn't move to stop Vegeta from killing the remaining men.] Me!? I have explaining to do?! I'm not the one shooting laser beams out of my hands!

[misterbrief]

Well excuse me for being useful around here! First of all, you were the one they were after if I remember correctly, and second, how did some bumbling idiot like you suddenly become one of the most deadly accurate sharpshooters I've ever seen? Tell me that!

[goldenglasses]

I don't know! Just- just some really lucky shots I guess! [He knows that's no excuse.] I mean, I- it just seemed like, as I saw them aiming it was as if I could calculate it all in my head. The angle they held their guns, the speed of a bullet as it leaves a chamber, how fast a person could pull the trigger- it was just like it was all there and it was so easy.

[He shakes his head; as if doing so would make those odd calculations he shouldn't be able to make go flying out of it.]

And yeah... they were after me first.

[Vash looks around at the cops that were all laid out on the ground. One... two... three- oh crap! One was missing! No wait, that one got disintegrated by- no, he doesn't want to think about that just yet.] We should get going. Before someone sees us here in this mess.

[misterbrief]

Somehow I find it hard to believe you're able to do any sort of math in that tiny brain of yours. [He's got no reason not to believe he could though, since Vash clearly displayed what Vegeta considers to be the best precision shooting he's ever seen.]

Yes, fine. We'll go. You can stay at my residence for the time being, it's safer there for you anyhow. Come on.

[goldenglasses]

Thanks, but I'm not sure I should. [Not that he has any plans to return to his own place.] If they find me there it won't look good for your business or Bulla for a criminal to be found at your house.

[misterbrief]

Do what you please then. I'm going to get to the bottom of this. [For the first time, he actually doesn't care about the business. This seemed much, much more important than making money. For obvious reasons.]

[goldenglasses]

Just be careful. You have no idea how long that new power of yours will last. Or even if it's dangerous to you or not.

And if you're really getting to the bottom of this, I want to help. There's this kid- or I think there is. I want to find him. Make sure he's okay.

[misterbrief]

Kid? [Somehow, he's not surprised at this concern. Like...something Vash should be concerned about.]

Whatever. If you're coming then, let's get a move on. I don't have time to waste waiting around for you. If we find this child, then good.

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, I'll come- just... I'll meet up with you later. There's someone I need to see. Fluttershy; I need to make sure she doesn't try to go to my house as they're probably already there.

[If anyone hurt her because of him--- he's really not sure what he'd do.]

[misterbrief]

You don't have much time. Go. I'll be around, and I assure you I won't be hard to find at this rate. [He should check on Bulma himself. And Bulla. He doesn't know where his daughter has gone off to today, but at least he knows where his wife is.]

[goldenglasses]

Don't worry. I won't be long. [He doesn't want these cops to catch him with her.] I'll catch up with you later. [He hides his new weapon in the waist of his pants before turning to run off in the direction of Fluttershy's house.]
