Week 2
Sunday, May 11, 2014 - Saturday, May 17, 2014


Weather
The rain that the humidity last week hinted at shows up, but lasts only for one afternoon, Sunday, and then the temperatures go back up into the low 80s and the sky is almost entirely clear. Wednesday a breeze picks up, warm and coming down off the mountains, bringing with it a few scudding clouds and the scent of pine, but not much else.


Events
Monday: The general work of getting the city up and running starts today. Shops start to open, businesses opening offices in the city can start churning through their to-do lists, doctors can open their doors, those signed up for farm work full-time get to settle in at the farm they’re assigned, and the government-funded science labs start to get their goals and experiments set up. The YMCA and half-finished dragon hatchery both also open today. The military, which has been here for weeks already, just goes back to its standard routine of practice and patrol, though there’s word that there will be a scouting trip next week, the first one heading into the mountains.
Thursday: At 4:45AM, before most people’s alarms even go off, the power goes out, even for devices that run on motors and batteries. Good luck getting to work on time. Magical and non-mechanical devices work just fine, so if you have your built-in backups already set, you’re good to go. The city puts out a bulletin through people’s mirrors at 8:30AM that they’re investigating the power failure and to not be alarmed.
Friday: Power returns in the morning around 10AM, to cars, flashlights, and air conditioners alike-- just in time for Dark Heart, one of currently only two local bars and the only local club, to have its opening bash without having to resort to desperate measures to turn on the music. The doors open at 8PM, and the age limit, for tonight, is set at 18… though anyone who looks too young will be carded when asking for alcohol. A mingle log will go up for this with further details.
