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.

Jeez, you look terrible! ♪

[Rin cares less about tact when it comes to friends, it seems. But at least she'll offer him an orange.]

This is the last one I have. I didn't know people were starving over here... ♪

[Crona looks at that hand, but doesn't move. In fact, the kid looks almost afraid by the gesture.]

I'm supposed to be able to. I'm the demon swordsman.

[badladyscramble]

Flan!

[Remi swoops down, landing besides the exhausted bat and scooping her up into her arms.]

You're safe now, Flandre. Your sister's here.

[Crowley's had enough of this mess. He circles around the front after trying the door and then looks in the broken window. After a moment he decides to throw caution to the wind. He takes off his jacket and breaks away more of the window, sets it on the bottom and slips inside. His solitary wing is nicked by some of the remaining glass and he leaves some feathers behind.]

[eyesofaserpent]

[Crowley got into this place just today. He arches his brow at the destruction at the Tunnel of Love as he walks up, his single white wing nestled on his back.]

Looks like someone isn't too fond of swans.

[eyesofaserpent]

[Crowley had caught a ride on the Ferris Wheel out of curiosity. That fog is awfully thick and he's curious just how bad it is. He arches his eyebrows at the girl (presumably) dangling on his seat.]

You look like you're having fun.

[eyesofaserpent]

[The one winged demon has only been on this side of the fun house since this morning. But as he walks over, hands in his pockets.]

Probably a bad idea, mate.

[balzams]

[Latvia's lack of a gun makes him feel woefully inadequate. Raising the shovel like a weapon he takes a step behind the two]

I-I don't know!

[ex_seventh238]

[Fine by her, they've got time. With that done though, she won't bother standing back up, settling to sit by Rapunzel as she writes her next note.

There's no need to thank me for that. Things are difficult right now, but it shouldn't last. Please try hanging in there, miss. Are you on your own?

She gives a vaguely helpless small smile of her own at the first part. They have no idea what may happen later, but for what a few words are worth now... That, and she stands by that no one should wander around by themselves in this particular incarnation of Mayfield. Does she have someone she stays close to through this mess, at all?]

[ex_seventh238]

[DAYCARE TRAINER CIEL THROWS A PIECE OF SWEET. IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE


is brought back to her senses. Blinking once at the sight of him, the aura vanishes under an eyeblink as she turns towards him. Giving him a small wave of greeting, she'll get on note-writing once more.

Something like that, I suppose. Good afternoon, Charles. Are you back to investigate?]

[encored]

[CHARLES has become CONFUSED AND FULL OF CANDY welp, he's starting to get more familiar with how quickly she can turn that aura on and off than he ever wished to be... but more important things to deal with right now!!

he'll raise a hand in return before walking closer to peer at the note, and he makes an irritated noise upon reaching the question.]

You could say that. If you're standing guard here, shall I assume people are still trying to take the food?

[ex_seventh238]

[why 'ever wished to be'... she's MOSTLY harmless, really--!!

She exhales. Give her a sec to write that reply...

Some people have been trapped here for three days. It's enough hunger and thirst to drive a few in becoming desperate enough to chance this.

can't blame them alright...]

[encored]

[mostly is the key word there.....]

The thirst is reasonable. [as far as he's aware, there's no substitute for the metallic-tasting stuff the faucets pump out.] But the food? There's hardly an excuse for that. Even the human body isn't flimsy enough to succumb to starvation after only a few days. Aren't some people cooking the rats and eating those with little to no side effect as well?

[elevatoravatar]

I see, I have just wandered into this realm. Have you considered exiting through the odd house with the mirrors and slide?

[elevatoravatar]

Indeed, many things seem missing and the false tranquility is replaced with emptiness and ominous feelings.

[elevatoravatar]

[Elizabeth watches Scratch for a while with a curious look before walking up slowly, but keeping her distance]

May I ask if there is anything you hope to gain other than satisfaction in this act? Things seem somehow more wrong than normal here yet I have just moved to this part of the realm.

[ex_seventh238]

[hush now

she is gonna frown lightly in an admonishing fashion while getting on her next line:

Don't put down others for their lack of complete self-control and perfect judgment. It's the way humans are. You're also misplaced to judge, being someone who doesn't get hungry or needs food to survive. What's here just can't be consumed, so I'll stay and remind people by force if I have to.

don't get ahead of yourself young man!!]

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Normally, no, but this is Mayfield. This sort of thing probably isn't that strange here.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

What are you doing? You don't need to lose any more blood!

[mayfield_mods]

[There's no response.]

[mayfield_mods]

[There doesn't appear to be anyone inside.]

[mayfield_mods]

[The drop is about five stories. He can survive the fall, but it will definitely hurt.]

[mayfield_mods]

[She'll fall for half an hour before reemerging above the ferris wheel, falling at high speeds.]

[mayfield_mods]

[There's a whistling sound coming from the bathroom.]

[mayfield_mods]

[There are shadows on the walls, as though a woman is dancing about the room...but there is no one here.]
