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.

Food

[mayfield_mods]

[There isn't anyone running the food stand, but nonetheless delicious meals will appear on the countertop for anyone who orders something off the menu! Menu items include the usual carnival fried fare, the classic all-American burgers and shakes, and even salads for those of the more health-conscious people out there.

Unfortunately, the food still isn't filling at all, but it tastes mighty delicious. And after a day without any substantial food, the smell and taste might be awfully hard to resist.

If you do happen to sample a bite, you might find yourself with a horrible pain in your stomach later, as the food will not only vanish but take part of you with it. Depending on where it is when it vanishes, you may lose part of an internal organ or two, or you may have the walls of your stomach dissolve inside you.

Keep to that diet, ladies!]

[Dainn is wandering around the food stand and he looks a little pensive. second day without blood, fun fun. he could still keep himself under control and the smell of the food was helping somewhat...but...

he may be a bit snappy today but he wouldn't mind some company. and he really won't mind if someone gave him something to drink either.]

[lets_stay_together]

[Tohru has been wandering around exploring the carnival, looking for more people. And hey, there's someone!]

Oh, um, hello!

[enshrouds]

[Archer warily slinks up to the food stand. He might be many things - rude, dishonest, deeply cynical - but one thing he's not is stupid. Nor is he unobservant; he noticed that brief crack that split the sky, how different and wrong this place is. How like Mayfield, and yet not at all like that supposedly quaint and happy town. His fingers tap rhythmically against the counter, giving every appearance of being more annoyed than nervous.]

Hey, anyone here? I could sure do with a bite....maybe a nice fat hamburger? [His voice is pleasant enough if in a thin, insincere way....and 'lo, a burger will appear! Archer eyes it, ignoring the faint rumbles of hunger in his belly.] Thanks, but how 'bout a few more for the road? Got a lot of sights to see, you know - this such a fun little carnival. I don't want to miss a thing.

[More burgers appear, and Archer seems satisfied. He covers each one more fully in their plastic wrap, then gathers them all carefully into the crook of one arm.]

[expiatrice]

[He'll hear a familiar voice behind him.]

Taking food to go is only effective if the food is safe for consumption to begin with, Archer. Do you know that for sure?

[No jokes this time either. She's in her casual outfit, but her tone and expression are both cool and stern.]

[answerer_sword]

That will not work. The food here does not sate your hunger.

[forgottenmagia]

[Suddenly nun.]

I'd watch your stomach, if I were you. I heard they aren't very filling.

[kinship]

Excuse me, sir, I don't think you should eat those.

[Seriously, why does everyone think eating Mayfield-magic food is a good idea?]

[emperor_cowboy]

[Hol was getting pretty hungry now... but he bit down on his lip. He decided against eating once again. Something didn't seem right about that food...]

[originalnumber]

You are also suspicious I take?

[Oh heyyyyy- Random blue kid. Where'd you even come from Astral-]

[mayfield_mods]

[Was that a flicker of movement from just down the street, or was it just Hol's imagination? That's up for him to decide...]

[likes2havesex]

Are you sick of this carnaval shit too? Why do they have to fry nearly everything?

[noluckduck]

[Clover has never been one to trust Mayfield food. Even the food she already knows to be perfectly safe. But damn, there's a burger on the menu that looks absolutely delicious.

Of course, that's a reason to be all the more suspicious!] Freakin' tempting, I've gotta say... How're we even supposed to order shit, though?

[truffulacide]

My guess? You aren't.

[it comes from behind her. how long has Once-ler been standing there? who the heck knows. he's digging into one of the marshmallow bags he brought with him, axe propped on the ground against the food stand.]

I guess they expect us to just take what we want. Awfully generous of them, huh?

[cueball]

Don't even bother. The food is worthless here in value. You won't be better off at all.

[ukelelenogood]

Who says you gotta "order"?

[Hey Clover look who it is. And as usual, she has just decided to pop out of nowhere.]

[mal_addict]

[Maladict should have expected this place to do something ridiculous, but this...this was just weird. She's trying to see if this place serves any coffee.

Because she really needs some damn coffee after that funhouse]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Anything here any good?

[She's still kind of cautious after the fried ice cream thing, even if this place serves more.]

[enshrouds]

[Have a rather tense ginger coming up behind you.]

Don't even think about it, lady.

[truffulacide]

[he's peering at the menu, counting down each item with his finger.]

Chubby Checker Cheeseburger, Bebop Deluxe Burger, Sizzling Strawberry Shake... [he taps the side of his face with a look of intense - and exaggerated - concentration.] Hmmm. Nope, don't see any blood bags on here. Tough luck, Mal.

[commentboxtroll]

[Looking for something appetizing himself, Caesar rounds the food booth's corner and...]

...!

[Okay, that's someone who looks somewhat familiar to him! Familiar enough, at least, that he immediately turns back around and tries to sneak out of sight again when he spots her.]

[mayfield_mods]

[Just as Maladict approaches the stand, the friendly vendor pops up with a smile. He looks like a generic carnival worker, with a pleasant green apron and stripy slacks. Except where his teeth should be there are human fingernails, pointed and bloody.

Giving a high pitched keening shriek, he thows himself over the stand and tries to latch onto her, jaws gnashing towards her throat.]

Food

[butterflyinfojk]

[ After getting out of the funhouse and seeing the town like this --of course he'll be suspicious, even of the food. But even if he arrived in this strange version of Mayfield, he's still been lost in the funhouse for some time, and even then it was on pretty much an empty stomach. So he's actually considering eating it, but...he's not so sure if it's a good idea. ]

Re: Food

[answerer_sword]

The food here is useless, JK.

[thepurpleway]

[Is this...what hunger felt like? True hunger? Kind of feels like not having enough power. And those food smells...they were intoxicating and alluring! He ate earlier, but it felt like it didn't do much...

Maybe he could try a hot dog this time.]
