welcome to mayfield: day 3

[mayfield_mods]

[Those who wake up in the town on the third day will soon notice that something's definitely off. The cracks in the sky are appearing more frequently and lasting for minutes at a time, and there's a strange white fog drifting over the clouds.

For those who've just arrived, welcome to our new little town! We're sure you're glad to see your missing friends again; nothing to worry about here, they've just been too busy enjoying the upgraded carnival to go back home. Any bleeding limbs or serious wounds you may spot are obviously just a sign of how much fun they've been having.]

OOC: If your character damages or affects the carnival or town in a noticeable and normally permanent way, please comment here.

hope you don't mind!

[Scratch knows there isn't going to be a way back out. They wouldn't trap them here and leave such an obvious escape route through the way they came. But then he sees this girl moving toward the funhouse with a knife and becomes interested.

So he follows her quietly, mostly interested in what he will find through following her. He can always get out if he needs to. Though at the same time, he isn't making any real attempt to stay hidden.]

[truffulacide]

[welp, his creepometer is going off so that can only mean that Natalie is in the vicinity. orrrr he just happened to catch her head bobbing through a window that he was walking past. let's just go with that.

regardless, it's enough to get him running outside to flag her down. he's not stupid enough to consider her a friend (pffft, as if!), but... does it make sense to feel relieved to see her anyway? just a little?]

Natalie!

[suicidoll]

(Not too far behind Chell is Kreutzer. She is only accompanied by one of her dolls this time, but she still makes her approach. She looks rather ragged and scruffy after having been here since day one...)

Ah, so you're here too, Chell? Planning on a little investigative work?

[encored]

Any time. [but that second statement makes him look a little more wary. he glances back at one of the boats.]

Do you think so? I haven't seen a great deal of damage yet.

[doesnotgetit]

[She nods.] Yeah... [She shifts around in her seat, checking the area near and under her.]

It's totally gone. It couldn't have just fallen out of my pocket...

[hairflyingheartpounding]

It... It's definitely too quiet sometimes, but it's way better than back home.

[...Oh. Oh, she's a horrible traitor.]

Mother did her best, I mean! It's just that-- Ugh. Nevermind.

[balzams]

Sounds good to me!

[As well as venting his anger about Mayfield he'll also get to vent his anger about his lack of a romantic relationship. How's that for efficiency?]

[jumpsuited_rat]

[Chell was about to step into the house when she heard a familiar voice behind her. She turns around to look at Kreutzer and nods.]

Yes. It seems last time something like this happened, some interesting information was found. Thought I'd start here.

[She looks back into the house and to the food on the table.]

Seems like somebody was inside not too long ago. They might still be here.

Do you want to look around too?

[hawkeward]

Maker's breath--! [Hawke cringes, but pushes the door open and steps inside, taking a good look around and making sure the room really is empty.

She doesn't linger long, just affirms that yes, that really was blood, and yes, there's no one inside. Satisfied, she backs out of the room and closes the door behind her. That was... interesting, but the whole rest of the house is waiting to be explored.]

[vytis]

I'm not putting either of you out if you catch yourselves on fire.

[truffulacide]

Sh- ...Hm. [that finger he raised sags down, defeated. the rest of his expression falls with it.] That's mean.

[he shakes his head.] If it was going to happen, then it would've already. We were in that house for a while.

[it makes him shiver just thinking about it, but he suppresses it. they were inside for some time, and in that time, all manner of things could have happened that would've made shattered eardrums look like a trip to the park. they were lucky - they were so lucky. if Rapunzel hadn't been with him or if she didn't have her powers, he knows without a doubt that he'd be deaf right now. it's a scary thought.]

We're not going to go back there, are we? If the answer's anything less than "no", I'm going to have a word with you, Miss Rapunzel.

[voiceofauthority]

[Jenny carefully makes her way toward the noise. She's clearly on the defensive and ready for any sort of attack.]

[theboywiththebook]

[Henry laughs a bit at the little joke too.]

Yeah definitely.

[But to be Rapunzel's kid? That's kind of weird. Not weird as in 'Oh God that's creepy.' More like 'I have two moms already, do we need to add a third?']

I think my Emma and my mom would have something to say about that though.

[Probably not so much Emma than Regina.]

[likesottlyfab]

And you were so cool up until this moment, Mr. I Tore Down A House With My Bare Hands.

[To the tunnel of love!]

[balzams]

You tore down a house and you didn't invite me?

Re: FERRIS WHEEL

[destroytheblueone]

[Dr. Eggman can't help but look up at the Ferris wheel and how it seemed a whole lot better... except for the fog lingering over the top, the seats passing through it.]

I'm certain this wasn't like this before I got here... and as much as I like to investigate that fog, I don't trust it one bit!

[At that, two of the Egg Pawns saunter up to one of the seats as a third hops to the switch. As the third pulls the switch, the two start to move... only to fall through the seats partway up, hitting the ground with a thud.]

[cueball]

[More people trying to get food? Oh dear.]

The food doesn't cost money. But, I wouldn't touch it if I were you.

[vytis]

Estonia and I were just going to check a house for clues and it kind of--happened.

[crazyclownwoman]

Giant monsters or something.


Yeah, I really don't want to know.

[Steps away from the window.]

Hopefully we'll find a way out soon.

[suicidoll]

(Kreutzer nods.)

Yes. There may be something of use here, so I would like to investigate.

(And she will follow Chell into the household, staring curiously at the food on the table. She can't trust it, but having a proper meal after several days without one made the temptation strong.)

[crazyclownwoman]

[Looks at her curiously.]

What was your home like?

[likesottlyfab]

[Poland is looking at the tunnel trying to think of the best way to approach destroying it.]

So like, how should we go about this?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

So is lying to me. You need your sleep.

[She leans against him, heaving a heavy sigh.] I guess so. And no. We're not going back there. No way.

[truffulacide]

[of course he has marshmallows. a better question would be how many he has left.

he only brought three bags with him, not expecting that they'd be gone for longer than a day. of that supply, only one and a half are left. he's been trying to eat as little as possible to conserve more for Rapunzel and anyone else he knows who'd need the extra energy. when the bag he's on runs out, he'll only have one left. and when that runs out, then...

well. he can think about that later.

he spots Clover pretty quickly, and already his knee starts to pulsate with a dull, phantom ache. the boy, Lucas, did the best he could; Once-ler's just thankful that he doesn't have a limp. walking up to her, he moves to sink down beside her. without looking at her or giving so much as a hello, he dips his hand into his pockets and digs around for a moment before coming up with a slightly smooshed marshmallow that he in turn holds out to her.]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

[Rapunzel's giggle at what he says is more genuine this time.]

I'm sure they would. Who's Emma?
