[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.
seclusion: (they were so glad; i was so sad.)

The appearance of a dirty little kid didn't exactly clear up any confusion for the guys who were trying to figure out why people had just dropped into this field and why a terrifying woman in lingerie was one of them, but at least... they weren't... being assaulted? Instinctively, a man jerked forward a little with the knee jerk assumption that this violent lady was going to squash the small boy under heel, but... No, the kid seemed to have the opposite effect on her. Which was weird. But also meant the kid must have come from wherever the woman did. All this was going through his head as he stood there, gaping, wondering what on God's good earth had been set in motion now.

Emil, meanwhile, had his face turned up towards Kainé, his relief evident. I mean, yeah, this whole issue still called for some anxiety, but more than anything he was pleased with finding his friend. "I'm here, I'm here, I have no clue what happened..." She seemed all right, at least. Lively as ever. As expected of Kainé. "You're okay, right?" he asked for good measure, and reached out to pat her arm. "It seems like a lot of people ended up here, too, but I don't know what any of it's supposed to mean. Kainé," and he hesitated, listening to the sounds of the startled folk behind her, "I really think we should go until we can figure this out. I don't think anyone here knows what's going on better than us." And they probably aren't happy about being threatened hung unspoken in the air.

"Excuse me!" the man from before called. "Go? We're going to need you to answer some questions." Emil just waved at him again.

Those assholes just didn't know when to give up, did they? She let him touch her arm--maybe she didn't spend enough time with him when he was blinded, but it was a good enough way for him to identify and keep track of her, if her cursing and voice wasn't enough. Letting her hand fall on his, before curling it into a fist but resisting the urge to hurl a hadoken at the man's stupid face.

"I'm fine, but I'd be better if I could just teach some of these bastards a lesson. We're not going anywhere with you, shithead!"

While making a point with the point of her sword, aimed at his forehead, if he took a single step more.
