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.

[He pulls on a door handle a few times, before turning around and grabbing his flashlight from his pocket.]

C-Can you hear me out there? It's locked a-and it's too dark to...

[genkibot]

[Tachikoma is looking in the window, trying to see where Crowe is. The sudden lack of lights inside might make it harder, but it should be able to see him in there. Right?]

Hello? Mister? Did you go to the front door?

[mayfield_mods]

[There's something wet pooling on the floor; it's warm and lapping at Crowe's ankles, but the level seems to be rising.

It's too dark to see what it is, though. Use the flashlight?]

[perfectsymmetry]

[Yep, flashlight. He's not moving from the spot at the moment as there might be something worse nearby...]

[genkibot]

[Tachikoma is having a difficult time trying to find Crowe, and it's starting to really worry now. Maybe it should try just pulling the door open? A broken door is better than a lost friend, right? Yeah, probably, it'll worry about causing minimum property damage later...]

If you can hear me, step away from the front door! I'll try and open it for you!

[Tachikoma is going to put all its strength into pulling that door open now.]

[mayfield_mods]

[It appears to be a pool of warm, dark red liquid...it's hard to think what it could be besides blood.

And the level is rising rapidly. The door won't budge.]

[perfectsymmetry]

[He's not surprised. Still horrified, but not surprised. Choking back a yell of disgust and fear, Crowe immediately turns back to the window he just came in through, hoping it's still open. If not, he has a heavy flashlight and, failing that, a pistol in his backpack.]

[genkibot]

[No matter what Tachikoma does, the door won't come loose, which is strange combined with not being able to hear Crowe, Tachikoma is about ready to panic.]

Oh no, something is definitely wrong here!

[It moves around to the window Crowe went in and tries to pry it open, at the very least it can try and call Crowe to come out!]

[mayfield_mods]

[He'll be able to make it out the window.]

[perfectsymmetry]

[Crowe climbs out less than gracefully and lands on the porch, his clothing from the waist down stained with blood. He just lies there for a moment, trying to process what just happened.]

...

L-Let's not go in there.

[genkibot]

Oh my gosh, that's blood! Are you okay? It's not your is it? I mean, if you actually lost that much blood, you'd probably wouldn't be able to move...

[perfectsymmetry]

N-No, I-I'm fine, the place just started filling with blood, a-and so quickly... [He slowly gets up, suppressing a shudder as he does.]

[genkibot]

Oh my, that doesn't sound good at all... I thought this house was just a locked up one like the others, but it sounds like a dangerous place. We might want to make sure no one goes in there!
