[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.

There was no panic here. The unsettled knot in his stomach was due to the Pull sickness. As of yet, he found no need to work himself up.

His eyes scanned the area when the other provided light. "Likely not. Seeing as our presence has already been noted."

All Newcomers, yes. He could still sense Kuchiki and Kurosaki and the Espada all nearby in this field. Many faces here, he recognized, if only in passing. Again with the damned Core. What the hell was it doing?

One eyebrow went up at the muttered words. "If it's still the city, then there's definitely something wrong for this hour. Or rather, something proper that feels out of place, given what we're used to."

No one seems to be panicking. Except those two children.

And panicked children will run to.. "I suspect this place will grow busier before too long," mused the older(?) man, maintaining the light with practiced ease.

"If this *is* the city, we won't be able to stay here, whatever the case." Giving Hitsugaya a nod, Eraqus moved forward, mindful not to step on the growing veggies. That's someone's livelihood, after all. Never mind that the future welcoming commitee won't care too much about that. "There's no darkness here," not as Siren's Port knows it, "but that doesn't make it safe. Some will need to scout ahead."
