[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.

What's this?

[ Discord is not quite sure what just happened. It is definitely wasn't him, he barely has the power to change simple rooms all across the city, let alone being able to go back in time or transfigure an entire island.

So what gives?

He notices the two boys running off to their daddy, but he holds little interest. For once, he's more interested in what's going on, not being antagonistic. Well, if there's an opening to be as such, he'll take it.

He might have a more particular sight than others, with his mix and matched limbs, his serpentine form all coiled up and slightly bouncing as he walks around with a slight stomp to his step. ]

[Discord's appearance is too memorable to forget seeing on the NV network, even if they don't personally know one another well. He certainly stands out. Phibrizzo, by contrast, looks very much like any other little boy, with the exception of wearing clothing that doesn't fit what any of the other local children are wearing. Another thing that stands out is the fact that Phibrizzo isn't attended by an adult in spite of his small size, but he doesn't look the least bit frightened.]

The Core's really outdoing itself.

[If anything, he looks mildly annoyed.]

[ Discord recognizes everyone - if there's one good thing he's good at (other than being himself), it's keeping tabs on people he find even remotely interesting. ]

It has indeed.

[ But kanyeshrug! ]

But I can used to it. Think of it as a new way to work my hobbies around. Like knitting or playing chess . . .

I think you can knit or play chess just about anywhere.

[In both literal terms, and in more figurative ones.]

It's good to be adaptable.
