[Anniversary Event Starting Log] I Awaken To Another Day...

Who: Open Log! This means everybody!
When: September 1st, 1918. Dawn.
Where: Farmer Whitty's Squash Patch, City of Missionworth (Ye Olde... Baseball Diamond?)
Summary: Midnight on New Years Eve finds the entire Newcomer Community thrust backwards in time...oh, 95 years or so?
Warnings: A lot of potentially drunk people are about to land facefirst in a field. Once word is out that a small horde of strangers have mysteriously arrived on the island, Military Forces will be rounding them up for questioning. You be the judge of how badly this goes.



Whether right in the middle of a rowdy parties as toasts are raised with complementary champagne, or having a quiet evening at home on the couch, watching GloTV's annual Auld Lang Syne Countdown Extravaganza, a sickeningly familiar tug of a feeling suddenly wrenches in the gut of every Newcomer on the island who has been brought here by Pull in the past three years.

As fireworks sound over AGI tower and the clock finishes striking twelve, the world spins. For a dazzling colorful moment, flashing scenes from their stay in Port roll backwards like rewound film before their eyes. It becomes a blur, the Pull drawing tighter and tighter, ears might pop and there's a very good chance the contents of their stomachs might be turned out.

And then there is coolness, a brisk breeze, morning dew and damp earth beneath them all.

The newcomers are scattered across a planted field of winding vines and colorful gourds, which won't be ready for harvesting for another month or so. Several startled crows are circling overhead, screaming. There are no tall towers on the skyline, and there are more surrounding trees, particularly toward the western horizon- golds and oranges of early autumn.

To the east, a picturesque early 20th century settlement stretches to the island shoreline, already bustling with traffic and construction in the early dawn's light. There is no putrid, sick-sweet rotting smell which normally lingers for awhile in the morning fog, after the lifting of darkness.

Two young boys stand agape at the edge of the field for several moment, leaning over a fencepost, then turn and tear off towards a homestead not far away, shouting for their papa.

Welcome to the City of Missionworth. Look's like The Core's decided to give you all a history lesson for the New Year.

"Well, that makes two of us then. I haven't seen anyone I recognize yet..." Which was a little worrying. The last thing she wanted was to have had lost Hiccup again. "I'm Astrid." Might as well introduce herself. "Who are you?"
axetrid: (//Aw Shit)

[personal profile] axetrid 2013-01-20 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Well that was a little startling. She turned around just to catch the last of Chessur fade into existence, the girl blinking a few times just to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

Then again, she should be used to strange things by now, shouldn't she? A talking, weird colored cat certainly wasn't the weirdest thing she'd seen by now.

"You weren't there a second ago..."

Taking the coat she looks at it for a moment before pulling it on, standing up on shaky legs to zip it up all the way. It just covers her behind and other parts - how lucky.

"Thank you."

There is a firm nod from the mermaid as she stared at the angel. "Yes, it would. Both would help." For obvious reasons. "Why are we here?"

Raphael snaps, the shirt lengthening to cover down to her knees, the fabric becoming thicker, much better suited to the elements. Pants just appear on her legs, also thicker, and a pair of flexible shoes on her feet. "Anywhere you would like to go?"

Raphael's shoulders moved, almost a shrug. "I don't know."
madvaporskillz: (all grins and smiles)

Well, not seeing anything that wasn't there, at least. True, he hadn't been there, or hadn't seemed to be, but Chessur had never been one to stick to what was normal. Why should he, when the whole of Underland was that way?

"Wasn't I? There's certainly no way to talk over great distances anymore."

Not short of telepathy, which Chessur was quite unfamiliar with, o any of a handful of things which he was. Thus, as far as he was concerned, the fact that he'd always been there was comparatively easy to arrive at, as far as he was concerned.

Some kind of squash, I think. I just wished they were softer.

Corn? Uaah, I think I see some stalks. Man, this field is huge.

[personal profile] theshortestbird 2013-01-21 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
We've got about twenty hours, if we keep it on the entire time until it runs out.
theshortestbird: (Default)

[personal profile] theshortestbird 2013-01-21 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
Softer squash? Sounds kind of messy. Yeah, corn, I'm at the end of a row, but don't worry if you can't find me. We'll figure this out.
theshortestbird: (Default)

[personal profile] theshortestbird 2013-01-21 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
Go for it, but be because. This is already unstable, I don't want something to happen to you, or for things to get worse.
summing_it_up: (Hiccup: D:)

[personal profile] summing_it_up 2013-01-21 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
Eh, a benefit always comes with a setback. I can deal with it.

Well. Okay. But I can at least try, right? It's not that far– whoa!
bondsoflove: (my body was bruised)

[personal profile] bondsoflove 2013-01-21 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
Is there an option to turn it off and save batteries?
upstairsbrain: (have you heard one thing that i've said?)

[personal profile] upstairsbrain 2013-01-21 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, he doesn't want to hear about that. If he had his soul, he really wouldn't want to hear about it. ]

Alright. [ Acting as if they've got some kind of relationship to go off of: ] So... d'you think the Core dragged us all here?
moveslikestrider: (I don't need to try to control you.)

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-01-22 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'm always careful. [Not really.] I got this shit on lock down, besides whatever is to happen with it, will. I just have to make sure it does.
capax_infiniti: (IDK MY BFF KH)

no worries

[personal profile] capax_infiniti 2013-01-22 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
I've never moved anywhere in time other than inexorably forward, as you can see.

[He spreads his arms, indicating his worn and age-wearied body.]

[personal profile] capax_infiniti 2013-01-22 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Very well. Perhaps you should lead the way, then.

[And role he does assume, hunched over and making deliberate steps, trailing after Philbrizzo with a bemused expression.]

[personal profile] pranksterheir 2013-01-23 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if we're going to be stuck here for awhile, I hope we at least have some sort of entertainment.
hybrid_prodigy: (Curious)

[personal profile] hybrid_prodigy 2013-01-23 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Awkward laugh.] Yeah. Have any idea what the year is? I've studied Port history, but it's kind of hard to tell an exact time from just a farmer's field, you know?

... It can't be any later than 1918, though. Since, the Darkness . . . isn't here.

"It's no trouble! If you had the courage to show up without any clothes the least I can do is share mine, right?"
andproper: (what is it?)

[personal profile] andproper 2013-01-23 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
Very bad, potentially. Prim hoped he didn't go too far, though - it wasn't hard to balance on his nose, but if he went too fast she might get hurt... Plus, it would slow him down.

She nuzzled her way down a little, as a result, making sure she had as secure a perch as she could.
b2_dragon: (mine)

[personal profile] b2_dragon 2013-01-23 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
     Thankfully it seemed that the dragon was very mindful of his tiny passenger. He kept his head low to the ground as he moved, practically skulking across the field to its edge.

     Once they got that far, Toothless wasn't sure where they'd even begin to look, though.

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-01-24 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my god, dude. This is serious shit going on here. We're here to see an event that could be an explanation for why this place is such an overwhelming shithole.

[personal profile] his_own_will 2013-01-27 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
His hand immediately turns back to the gesture, clasping Gil's with heartfelt intent. He has no plans or reason to allow himself to be captured either. It would hardly do so soon in the game.

"But they could be perfectly nice."

He doesn't suspect it in the least but... they could be. In a hundred years.

[personal profile] theshortestbird 2013-01-27 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
What happened? Status report!
theshortestbird: (Default)

[personal profile] theshortestbird 2013-01-27 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, there's a button on the side you can hold, it'll shut off. Just press it again to turn it back on. Let's go with once an hour around twenty minutes in, turn it on and check in. If something big happens, check in sooner.
