[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.

We'll find out in due time. We'll come out when we know it's safe. Now, come along.

[He scans the field, finding some bushes.]

Here, come along.

[ But she dun wanna hide in the bushes! Obedient she trots along behind Dorian, frowning because... something isn't quite right here. ]

It's the middle of the night.... or early morning, one or the other. Don't you think those creatures would be prowling about if it was unsafe? [ She adjusts her skirt so it won't get caught on the bushes even though it totally will. Damn material. ]

I cannot say. If we're still in the port we're in danger but... I don't know... There's no rot. No darkness.
ella_of_frell: (Yeah -- I'm listening.)

And stars. You can actually see them.

[ Kneeling by the bushes, Ella glances up at the sky in clear surprise. Ah, she missed that sight. Although she sits back against her heels again, restless. She is not one to just sit and hide. ]

Maybe if we wait for there to be more light we'll get our bearings better. [ Nooot that they'll be there that long. Not if guards are coming to round up the stragglers and all. ]
mostbeautiful: (Bitch)

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

[Dorian hears someone moving.]

Do you hear that? Someone is coming.

Stay here. Don't move.

[Dorian leaves her to go investigate.]
ella_of_frell: (:O Shock - I won't do that!)

IDK Brain, where are we going to find peanut butter, pretzels and pants at this hour?

[personal profile] ella_of_frell 2013-01-07 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Someone's coming? Perfect, then let's a-

[ Damnit. At least he didn't say stay quiet or something, but when he got up to approach whoever it was, Ella hissed after him. ]

Dorian! Dorian wait, come back!

[ Well mittens. ]

[personal profile] mostbeautiful 2013-01-07 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Shhh! They'll hear you. Be quiet.

[Dorian hisses back over his shoulder. The sounds come closer.]
ella_of_frell: (MEEP)

XD!

[ Oh great, her and her big mouth. And brainthoughts. Silently she sighed at the order hissed back in her direction, watching Dorian walk away. Crapcrapcrap. Now if there was something dangerous out there she can't defend herself or ... anything, actually. ]
