[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.

"Can't it?"

In so far as Chessur was concerned, the fact that it had occurred was enough to prove that it could. It might certainly have been odd, but so was the rest of the world. It wasn't even particularly inconvenient by his standards. His standards, were, of course, not the same as everyone else's but he didn't see much reason to concern himself with that fact.

Nor, for that matter, did he much consider the fact that most people weren't accustomed to voice coming from nowhere. (He was, of course, well aware of the fact, but it never much figured into his thoughts.) Besides, it was more interesting to approach people this way.

Sorry for late ;_;

"Huh?"

She spun around at the voice, not seeing anyone in particular to who it could have possibly belonged to. Great, now she was going crazy too.

"Who are you?" Maybe that wasn't as pressing a question as- "Where are you?"

No worries~

"Why, right here, of course."

As answers went, it probably wasn't one of the more helpful ones, but it was still an answer all the same, and given that Chessur hadn't really been inclined to move before (or after) speaking up, it could easily be assumed that he was at least close enough to hear and be heard, although that wasn't necessarily much of a comfort.

It was only as a second thought that he began to fade back into existence, beginning with his eyes and ever present grin. Admittedly, Astrid would most likely to to turn around to see him, but given that was where his voice was coming from anyway it was most likely only logical to do so.

Well that was a little startling. She turned around just to catch the last of Chessur fade into existence, the girl blinking a few times just to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

Then again, she should be used to strange things by now, shouldn't she? A talking, weird colored cat certainly wasn't the weirdest thing she'd seen by now.

"You weren't there a second ago..."

madvaporskillz: (all grins and smiles)

Well, not seeing anything that wasn't there, at least. True, he hadn't been there, or hadn't seemed to be, but Chessur had never been one to stick to what was normal. Why should he, when the whole of Underland was that way?

"Wasn't I? There's certainly no way to talk over great distances anymore."

Not short of telepathy, which Chessur was quite unfamiliar with, o any of a handful of things which he was. Thus, as far as he was concerned, the fact that he'd always been there was comparatively easy to arrive at, as far as he was concerned.
