[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.

The warning snaps John back to himself, vividly alert as soon as he needs to be. He looks in the direction Harry is and curses under his breath. Yes, that's decidedly not good. Getting shot or taken into custody now, when they have no concept of what is happening or where they are, is a misstep they might not come back from, given their lack of resources and knowledge.
John recognizes Harry's gesture, the raising of his shield, and instantly knows that's not quite the thing. He reaches up and catches Harry's arm, dragging it back down. "No. Avoidance is better than defense." He sucks in a breath and takes Harry's hand in his right, the charms of his new bracelet jingling quietly. He's never done this, but he knows the theory, as much as a man who can barely fathom magic can.
"If this doesn't work, tell me, because I don't know what I'm supposed to do exactly." He tries a few things in quick succession. Picture a cloak, throwing it over-- no. Imagine a thread, tie it around-- that's just as idiotic. The metaphors don't work, so John just keeps it simple.
They cannot see me, he thinks with absolute conviction. And they cannot see Harry either. They'll pay us no mind.
His eyes are closed, his focus set on his task. "If it's working, get us out of here. Lead on."
