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.

[In the middle of his aimless wandering of the Midway, Balin overhears the tape recorder playback and heads over to investigate.]

What's'at'ere?

Sadly I haven't been told what's on the tapes yet.

[voiceofauthority]

[Jenny presses stop and turns to him.]

A recorder apparently. It's half full and there are bits from some of our own after it.

It's all good!

[walking_nuke]

[That makes Balin quirk an eyebrow.]

What, they found'is lyin' here an' just messed around with it?

Re: It's all good!

[voiceofauthority]

Looks like.

[Granted, Jenny is currently standing in a mess of shoved and murdered stuffed prizes seeing as she didn't bother being delicate about her hunt for information.]

[walking_nuke]

[Balin finally takes notice of that. It's almost like Jenny just slew an army of murderous plushies!]

—Well, guess it's one more thing to do around'ere. 'Specially with'a town gettin' downsized ...

[... His focus has wandered down to see if this version of Mayfield has any hazmat dolls, and if they're in the same bright cheery colors as all the other toys. As much as he'd love something that looks like an Intel BunnyPerson toy for the sheer irony of it. THough ... he'd hate to take one home and have it suddenly release nerve gas in the house or something.]

[voiceofauthority]

There's more then enough to do around here. Don't you find this place the least bit suspicious?

[walking_nuke]

Yeah, I do.

People've been tellin' me they've been stuck here for a day already, but I don't remember'a town lookin' like'is when I went checkin' out'at Funhouse with Caesar.

[voiceofauthority]

Exactly. Which means there's something funny going on around here and I don't trust it one bit.

BTW, you might want to try sending a PM to the mods if they haven't answered back yet.

[walking_nuke]

[Balin looks down and away for a moment, considering the present circumstances. Then he look back up to Jenny.]

You recognize any of'a people on'at tape'ere? Seen any of'em wanderin' around recently?

[voiceofauthority]

[She shakes her head.]

I can't say I've ever been very friendly around this place.

[walking_nuke]

Don't blame you, what with some of'a crazy sons'a bitches we got in town.

[voiceofauthority]

Crazy I'm used to. I just don't like getting cozy and then having them disappear.

[walking_nuke]

Oh.

[Wait.]

Oh, you mean people gettin' turned into a goofy Leave it to Beaver extra.

... Yeah, I don't like'at either. But I'm kinda used to people comin' an' goin' in my line of work.

[He's just hoping that when people "go" in Mayfield, they're sent back home like some people have said.]

[voiceofauthority]

So am I. That doesn't mean I have to get attached.
