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.

Two days?!? Do you mean we're trapped here?

[extraordinarily]

Apparently.

[ Haruhi is completely deadpan when she says that. ]

At least, until we get into the other Mayfield. Not that it's any different from the other Mayfield.

[lets_stay_together]

Other Mayfield? There's more than one?

[extraordinarily]

Apparently.

[ Haruhi shrugs, not really caring all that much. ]

[lets_stay_together]

How do you know? I thought we were still in Mayfield right now. Isn't this just another part of town?

[extraordinarily]

I know because this carnival is different than Mayfield's. And plus, if this was another part of town... well.

[lets_stay_together]

I did think it looked a little different. A lot cleaner and... newer.

It's almost like we're getting to see what the carnival looked like when it was new.

[extraordinarily]

Yeah. But this place is pretty much a screaming death trap, if you ask me.

[lets_stay_together]

You think so...?

It doesn't look that bad to me...

[extraordinarily]

Just because something doesn't look bad doesn't mean it is.

[ Then there's that slight pause. ]

Are you new here or something?

[lets_stay_together]

Yes! I am!

It's really amazing how everyone can tell that so quickly!

[extraordinarily]

Well, that's because you give off that "Mayfield isn't that bad vibe", when that isn't true.

[lets_stay_together]

I guess that might be true. So far Mayfield has been a very nice place to live.

I have heard some very terrible stories though....

[extraordinarily]

Nice?

[ Watch the sarcasm, Haruhi. ]

It only looks nice on the outside. But whatever stories you've heard, they're all probably true.

[lets_stay_together]

So then us.... and all of the other people stuck in this carnival....


What do you think is going to happen to us?

[extraordinarily]

I don't know. Some of us will die, probably.

[lets_stay_together]

D- die?!? You really think this place is that dangerous?

What should we do...?

[extraordinarily]

It's as dangerous as the other Mayfield, if not worse.

[A beat.] But as for what we should do, that's already obvious! Investigate! Find a way back.
