[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.

[Well, look who's here to rain on the parade, though he supposes it would be Riku... the others whom he'd associate with such things all seem to have gone. It's a shame to a degree, as lights are in short supply now, but at least it gives him a little space to work on the more pressing need for darknesses.

There's a smile for you.]

And what could I possibly do for you, Riku?

Don't act coy.

[Xehanort might be from the past, from the time of Terra and Eraqus, but he still knows everything. He's the root of all they've experienced, every piece of the puzzle pointing back to him.]

Is this your doing?
capax_infiniti: (wake up in the morning feeling like kh)

[personal profile] capax_infiniti 2013-01-07 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Why in all the worlds would it be my doing?

[Coy or otherwise, he's curious as to why Riku would make that particular accusation...]
dawnward: (danse macabre)

wow this got buried, I'm so sorry

[personal profile] dawnward 2013-01-20 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Moving backwards in time. That's a running thing with you, isn't it?

[And there's no question in his gaze when he says it.]
capax_infiniti: (IDK MY BFF KH)

no worries

[personal profile] capax_infiniti 2013-01-22 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
I've never moved anywhere in time other than inexorably forward, as you can see.

[He spreads his arms, indicating his worn and age-wearied body.]
