[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’s sounds in the distance of approaching military and various shouts of orders, it puts Dave on red alert as he comes towards Jade from the left. “Right here. Seen John yet? Or Sollux?” Or Dirk. He wanted to know where his friends were but with Nill he knew she’d reach out and touch his mind.

The teen titans needed located too if they were here. He had his knight gear in his sylladex ready to slap on in a second. Time felt the same as it always did but he was consciously wary of the timeframe and where they were. While he didn’t know exactly, he suspected. “Any idea what the fuck just happened? Besides the random instance of a damn pull again.”

Jade is grateful to have found Dave, at least even if the military does catch them, she is at least with one of her friends.

She shakes her head. "No, you are the first of our friends that i've been able to find. I don't think we have a lot of time to find them." She can hear them coming closer and it is really making her uneasy, but she tries to smile at Dave before answering his next question.

"What i've been able to gather is that, the pull's taking all the newcomers somewhere else, none of the locals are with us. Although, i feel like i haven't left port at all." She doesn't know how she can explain it, especially to Dave who isn't a space player, but space feels the same here as it does at the port.

But he does understand it, as much as a time player is able to. “Yeah. Time feels the same, just farther back.” That’s the best way he can explain it to someone who isn’t a dabbler of the chronos. “I think we went back in time.” The question was why. Why this point.

His history lessons of the place weren’t as good as they could be. Partly because the society at large just didn’t like newcomers. No. That made them sound dumb and stupid which was probably the point. They the OTHERworlders. Okay that didn’t sound right either. Really why couldn’t they just call them people?
