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 follows behind with his axe slung over his shoulder, his first instinct to check for windows. he finds one soon enough, opened by a tiny crack.]

Jackpot!

[he grins and immediately goes to open it. that enthusiasm fades soon enough when he finds that it's not budging. at all.]

...Oh wait, I forgot - it's never THIS easy, is it?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

[She looks from the window to the axe.]

Maybe... You could wedge the axe in and force it open?

[truffulacide]

That's one way to do it. [he raises the axe like a baseball bat, gesturing for her to step back.] Here's another.

[there's a thick, sharp THUD when he swings the axe into the window. much to his surprise, it doesn't shatter; the blade buries itself into the glass and it takes quite a bit of effort on his part for him to pull it out. then he tries again, and again. and one more time.]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I thought that was a little ex--

[But then... She can only stare in confusion. Why can't anything make sense?]

What on Earth...?

[truffulacide]

[oh no. oh no, no, no, no, no. do you think he's giving up that easily? fat chance. he's taken down trees that have put up a bigger fight than this; one stupid old window should be nothing.]

It's just - [CHOP] - being - [THWACK] - shy!

[he keeps hammering away and even stops for a minute to catch his breath. and here he told himself right off the bat that he was going to try not to exert himself, because it'd make him thirsty and then he'd be in trouble. don't think about water. don't think about milkshakes. don't think about grape juice.

he keeps at it. eventually, the glass FINALLY starts giving way.]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

[Though she realizes it's not going to be a hard, fast break, she can't help take a step or two back and tell him to be careful.

At the same time, though, she utterly fascinated. What could this be made of? How is this working? If the town is all fake... Is this version of it fake, too? And if so... Why is it glitching like this, and what does it mean for them?]

[truffulacide]

[let's ignore the fact that he's still panting when he steps back to admire his handiwork. never has there been such a macho break-in since, well, ever.]

See? And uncle always said I had weak arms.

[who's laughing now?]

By popular request!

[Welp. She's just been popping up wherever the hell she's wanted today since there hasn't been anything else to do. And at least she recognizes you Once-ler.

God knows where she came from but she is just clapping you on the back. And adopting a British accent because why not.]

Good show guv! Never been a righter break in, no sir!

[Also. Being quiet? What is that?]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

[Rapunzel jumps at the voice at first but then looks over her shoulder and sighs with relief. Nobody she can recognize, but nobody who looks dangerous.]

Hello!

[truffulacide]

[oh no, not you again.]

What are you doing here. [it's so flat there's no way it can be a question. THANKS FOR RUINING HIS AWESOME BREAK-IN, MOM.]

[ukelelenogood]

What are you doing here?

[Haruko Haruhara - asking the hard hitting questions.]
