Event Log - Level One

[lucetimods]

Who: Everybody
What: Lucetians reverted back to level one!
When: Well. Now. Right away. It ends on the 25th, so chop chop.
Where: In Luceti. You think you guys are getting out of here after that stunt you just pulled?
Summary: Well. So sometimes the Malnosso actually do legitimate experiments that aren't heaped in heavy plot. This is one of those times. Look, just go read the mod post, would you?
Rating: P for Prologue-licious.

Remember to tag with your character like so: [canon] character name

ALSO, all the journals will be completely wiped clean for the duration of this event. Nothing prior to this log will appear on the journals until after the 25th. So good luck figuring things out!

[Oh...this guy knew his family name. Yup, that bright smile seems to fall into a bit of a frown. Especially about the "talking to do" thing. Oh no. He knows what this means.]

B-but, I didn't do anything wrong! All I did was leave the house!

[aerialassault]

Who said anything about doing anything wrong?

[He ran a hand through his hair. Having words put into his mouth and being misunderstood was getting old.]

Look. You're not in trouble about anything. This place is just complicated is all.

[hero_of_smiles]

Because um...I...um...

[Cross looks around slowly, bringing his hands closer to his body looking around like a deer in headlights. Was this guy playing with him? Or was he being serious?

After all, this definitely was not where he was supposed to be. Outside the house and all.]


So...it's normal for people like me to be around here?

[aerialassault]

...

[A look. Cliff offered only a keen, analytic gaze as he considered Cross' words. The kid was somehow different back in his home. Was this why he tried so hard to be a hero?

After a silent heartbeat Cliff glanced up at the sky.]

Yeah. It's pretty normal, unless you're a homebody. Is it that weird for you?

guh for some reason I feel like im being terrible at this, sorry x-x

[hero_of_smiles]

Well...other people are allowed to be outside. Just not me. They say it's bad if I go out.

.....


Why?

[hero_of_smiles]

[If this guy didn't know why maybe he could trust him.]

'Cause I can't use magic.

[aerialassault]

[Cliff sighed and scratched his head. He was understanding less and less of this by the minute.]

So what? I can't use magic either. Why's that a big deal?

[hero_of_smiles]

You can't?

[There's a look of awe in his eyes and reflects in his voice.]

But, you're so clean! Does that mean you're from one of the rich families too? Or is it because you're from the other place?

[Oh, wait he's skipping Cliff's question.]

Because, dad doesn't like it.

[aerialassault]

[He is just going to ignore the jabber and cut to the point.]

Why is it a big deal if your dad doesn't like it? Why does he even care about that? I mean, people are just people. No biggie.

[hero_of_smiles]

'Cause everyone can use it. There's only a few who can't and nobody ever likes them.

If I were able to use it he would talk to me. Maybe I wouldn't be worthless.

[aerialassault]

[Now a few things, like Cross's lack of confidence, were starting to fall into place.]

Hey. There's always other things a person can do. Why's being able to do it so important?

[hero_of_smiles]

Because you're not important if you can't, duh.

[aerialassault]

[There it was. The faulty logic of a kid. Cliff just couldn't take it.]

Uh. There's no 'duh' there, kid. It makes no sense.

[hero_of_smiles]

Well that's how dad explained it...

[aerialassault]

Welp. Who said that you need to listen to your dad when it just sounds stupid?

You're a good kid-- so what if you can't use magic? That's no reason why you can't leave the house.

[hero_of_smiles]

I...guess you've got a point? Maybe...sort of...

[He just ponders this for awhile a very confused look plastered on his face. His whole existence has been questioned and by an adult too. What do?]

[aerialassault]

[Do nothing. Just accept the sympathetic smile of a man who understood this a little better.]

Don't think too much on it. You're not there anymore, so you can think for yourself a little. No one here cares about whether you can use magic or not.

oh god im so sorry

[hero_of_smiles]

Hmm...well, okay. If you say so, Mister. It's still kinda weiiiird and so are you, but that sounds nice.

[aerialassault]

[Those were the last words Cliff expected.]

Well. You're kinda weird too, so that makes the two of us.
