[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.

[Wh-- SPUTTERING.]

I'm not putting them on here!

[This squash patch is covered in Newcomers.]
moveslikestrider: (I don't need to try to control you.)

You have underwear on right? Not like anyone is getting a look at the really important parts.

What's more important pride or not being a popsicle? [He shakes his head. He doesn't see the issue here.]
debtor: (UM ★ plot twist)

[personal profile] debtor 2013-01-04 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Hissed in a low voice as he grabs the clothes,] Thank you. But I'd like some privacy.

[IT WOULD BE IMPROPER. Besides, he has a whole lot of scars and an arm he'd rather not show off (and he's regretting not sleeping in gloves...)

He walks off in search of some solid object to hide behind.]
moveslikestrider: (Now I make it.)

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-01-04 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, sure. Modesty it is you.

[He shrugs and turns away so Allen can find that thing to hide behind like oh maybe a scare crow. Dave will wait for him, while keeping an eye out for trouble. He can hear something in the distance but not yet sure what it is.]
debtor: (WIDE ★ that's nice)

[HE FINDS A BUSH, away from the prying eyes of the masses. And very quickly pulls off his pajamas and pulls on the new stuff. Fortunately, he's had months to get used to jeans and modern shirts.

When he comes back, he's got his left hand tucked under his folded pajamas, out of sight.]


I'll return these to you once I'm able.
moveslikestrider: (Too long I've been without.)

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-01-04 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry about it. Just try not to freeze. [He pulls socks and a pair of red and white Converse out of the sylladex.] So slip on these to keep your feet from breaking and falling off.

Trench foot is not something you want. [He offers a hand to take the pajamas.] Want me to store those?
debtor: (SNEAK ★ and then john was a zombie)

[personal profile] debtor 2013-01-04 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. [He takes them, although he doesn't put them on quite yet. It's a bit chilly, but he'll live for the moment.

And he shakes his head when Dave holds a hand out for the PJs, with a very brief smile.]


I might need them later.

Do you have any idea where we are?
moveslikestrider: (Just shoot for the stars.)

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-01-04 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
[His hand drops as he looks to see lights in the distance along with the rumble of an engine that was louder than he'd expect from cars. It was too primitive. His eyes narrowed behind his shades as he took a few steps toward the sounds and light.]

I have a theory about it. You're not going to like it at all.
debtor: (STAND ★ that boy's a monster)

[personal profile] debtor 2013-01-04 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
What is it?

[LAY IT ON 'IM.

He can tell they're not in the city any longer, but what he doesn't know is if they've traveled physically, or... chronologically...]
moveslikestrider: (Nobody else can see this.)

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-01-04 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)


We went back in time. [Dave says flatly and looks to the east. A shadow had passed across his vision. Had he imagined it? Or not.] The core is said to be alive.

Whose to say with all that power it can’t do this.
debtor: (UGH ★ silverette)

[personal profile] debtor 2013-01-05 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Back in time!?

[THE CORE HAD ALREADY TAKEN HIM FORWARD IN TIME will the damn thing just make up its mind!?]

Shit... How far?
moveslikestrider: (Look into my eyes.)

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-01-06 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
I have no damn idea, this is throwing off my internal clock something fierce. It's like getting kicked in the head, everything is all pretty lights and oh shit this could be bad. Etc.

[He sounds unconcerned, like he doesn't give a shit. But by now he's watching the lights like a hawk.]
