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.

Re: main area

[Mentally? He's already compared her to other Undead. She would have functioned well in his world...or been the one responsible for unsealing him and the other Undead and starting another Battle Royale.]

Just another way things stay interesting...

[spitefulvitae]

I admire your calm and confidence. I think it's a sentiment shared by many of those that have been here much longer than I have. "Oh, don't worry, it'll be over soon!"

What if it's not?

[kinship]

I never said we would be home soon, just that we would be.

[The determination in his eyes says that he's in it for the long haul. Even if he has to wait for decades, he will get his victory.]

[ex_seventh238]

[Well that makes things easier. She seems vaguely surprised at its suggestions, but she'll jump straight to writing a note instead of nodding or shaking her head at any of its inquiries - which will be done through pulling a small notebook with a pen clipped onto it from the sleeve of her habit. ...It's sufficiently big and poofy, okay.]

I lost the ability to speak recently, but it should be temporary.

Her handwriting is slightly cursive, but that still ought to be easy enough to read, right...]

[spitefulvitae]

And you're confident that you'll endure. Mm...

[His expression said more than his words. This boy held more determination than someone of his age normally possessed. No need to prod him further.]

Alas, I'm not sure how "together" I'll be able to stick with everyone...

[kinship]

[He appreciates that she seems to believe him somewhat, most people just roll their eyes at his optimism.]

It's safer. If you can try it, then please do, I'd rather not see anyone hurt here at all.

[spitefulvitae]

Safer? [She laughs dryly.] Not so much for them. The rats are only going to be satisfying for so long... so I think it would be best to not keep too close to everyone, hmm? Especially if you don't want to see anyone hurt.

[kinship]

Ah.

[He frowns for a moment, he doesn't want her to have to fend for herself, but perhaps it was for the best.]

You can always come back to the church if you need to, Miss Waters.

[spitefulvitae]

I'll keep that in mind. I do plan to check back now and then...

[She smiles and lets her head slowly tilt to the left.]

It seems like a good way to judge how many people are left.

[kinship]

[That's a rather morbid way of looking at it, but she does have a point. Shame he won't be there after tonight.]

Hopefully we'll see each other every night then.

[genkibot]

[Tachikoma looks over the notebook and the message...]

Oh, okay! I'm glad you'll be okay eventually! But do you know what happened here? Well, more like why for what happened here? Since it looks pretty much like someone destroyed it...

1/2

[ex_seventh238]

[she'll give a faint smile and a nod to reassure him... it. But at the question...]

2/2

[ex_seventh238]

[she'll blink at him once, before handing him the following note:

Someone probably did, yes.

genius deduction huh :v

and this mysterious destroyer is

definitely

not her............]

[genkibot]

[Tachikoma looks over the note.]

Oh, so I was right! Did you see who did it? Or know why?

I mean, I remember there being an issue with trying to get food from here, but I don't see why destroying the place would help with that...

[ex_seventh238]

...

[yeaaah ABOUT THAT

she'll hand the following note while blinking innocently at Tachikoma.

Does it matter? The food here can't be good for you. Maybe seeing the stand like this will discourage people from trying.

the culprit can't possibly be standing right of you

right

right...]

[genkibot]

[Well, unless there's more physical evidence to link the two, say, the fact that the stand looks like it was sliced up by Ciel's preferred weapon sitting around out in the open...

Otherwise, Tachikoma will just figure it happened before Ciel arrived on the scene.]

I guess it doesn't, but I'm worried this was done by someone lashing out, and if that's true, they might lash out at other things, which could be dangerous to them and those around them!

At least it looks like no one else was hurt here though...

[ex_seventh238]

[Nope. Black Keys can be summoned and dispelled at will, plus she allowed herself to use some thaumaturgy to blow it up further. '3' NO EVIDENCE LEFT BEHIND...

okay give her a few more secs to scritch out a reply...

I don't think so. I got here a while ago, I didn't see anyone hurt or suspicious-looking around. Have you come across someone who's injured, by any chance?

no need to spill anything, nope... >>]
