welcome to mayfield: day 2

[mayfield_mods]

[Day two of whatever this place is dawns bright and cheerful. Not much seems to have changed; the carnival is still standing, the town still empty of drones, the sky still bright blue and --

-- hang on, what was that? Did some sort of crack just appear in that patch of sky?

...oh, it's gone now. Must have just been your imagination. Anyway, there's no time to waste staring aimlessly at the sky, not when there's more friends showing up! Lucky there's more than enough food to go around, eh?]

OOC: If your character damages or affects the carnival or town in a noticeable and normally permanent way, please comment here.

OPEN! If your character was on the list of characters arriving on Day 1 or Day 2, they may comment here. All questions belong here.

Miss Ciel!

[There she is! He and Abel have been looking for her, especially after remembering she had been in the mirror maze as well. Abel is somewhere nearby, inspecting things for danger.]

[ex_seventh238]

[Why Abel Ciel's got better perspective up there...

She catches sight of him first. The ring helps. Emotion immediately returns to her face, and she doesn't so much as hesitate before hopping down from there to greet him.]

Cain! [On one hand, he looks fine. On the other, he's here... Gah. But for now at least, he's in her line of sight. She quickly comes up to him before huddling over.] ...My, you've ended up here too. How are you feeling? [is he ok, etc. She'll fret forever, deal!!]

[kinship]

[While she might be concerned, he is taking heart in the fact that there are several of them here already. The more people who had come through, the greater their chances of banding together and surviving this thing, right?]

I'm fine, I don't think I've seen anyone hurt yet, have you?

[Maybe this wasn't as ominous as it seemed on the surface? He can hope...]

[ex_seventh238]

[may...be...]

I haven't either, but I just got here, maybe... 10 minutes ago, at the most? What about you?

[no don't jinx us now, Cain....!]

[kinship]

Perhaps just a little less than that, Abel and Miss Esther are here as well.

[At least they're all together, this has to be a positive.]

[ex_seventh238]

[she nods, glad to see that they've been sticking together like she's told both cain and esther to do. ...Naturally, of course, they're all sensible people.]

May I ask what all of you plan to do now, Cain?

[She thought of saying more, like giving example of investigating or staying put, but ultimately decides to hold her tongue. No need to give him ideas; ideally, she'd like for them to all keep to themselves until all this subsides: it has to, sooner or later.]

[kinship]

[He isn't sure what he plans to do here, in this bizarre Mayfield, other than stick as close to his brother as is humanly possible. He doesn't trust the carnival, even less so now that they've wound up in someone entirely different, and he is fairly sure something dangerous will happen before long.]

I think the most sensible thing to do, would be to find supplies and a secure place to stay.

[ex_seventh238]

[stay with her forever you sensible person

She nods, eyes bright because that's like the best thing she's heard all day.]

I haven't had a chance to look yet, but what's at the Carnival is definitely bad. You can go on without food for several days as long as you resist the hunger pangs, but water can be a real problem. Have you gone outside the Carnival yet, Cain?

[kinship]

[He can go without food and water for longer than the average person, but still not indefinitely.]

Not as of yet, although I think it's wise. The carnival itself seems to be a hotspot for unusual activity, especially as it's where we've all arrived. I think it would be safer to leave as soon as possible.

[ex_seventh238]

[She nods.]

Can you give me a moment, then? I wanted to go to the top of the Ferris Wheel to get a good look of the whole town below. I should be able to see everything from there, and I'll be careful with my footing. I'll let you know what I see, if you can wait for a few minutes?

[kinship]

I don't think you should go up there, it doesn't seem like a very safe idea.

[Seriously? They already all did one stupid thing by coming through the funhouse, why would she add to that?]

[ex_seventh238]

I'll be fine, I know my limits. It won't be long, I promise.

[She smiles back. As hard as this may be to believe, it really isn't being overly cocky, she seriously has the skills. He doesn't know how high up she can jump, probably isn't aware that she just so happens to specialize in aerial combat, there's that too. It'll take more than a Ferris Wheel with vanishing parts to get to her, now!]

[kinship]

[Well, that's her funeral. He knows she has some impressive moves, but he doesn't realise she could survive that far of a drop, and he thinks she's foolish in taking that risk.]

I'll go back to Abel, I think. I don't want to leave him alone too long here.

[ex_seventh238]

[She nods, figuring that she'll be able to see them both.]

That's true too. I'll let you both know what I find the next time we meet, then. Be careful, okay? That goes for Father, too!

[she won't have any broken bones by then, just missing a tongue...]

[kinship]

[He leaves you for one minute, Ciel...]

Right! You take care too, I'll see you later.

[ex_seventh238]

[Rude, give her at least a day, ye of little faith.]

I will. Hang in there, and see you later! [Waving him off, then! That done, brb top of the wheel...]
