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.

I-If you insist. I still owe you.

[Crowe has been friends with all sorts in Mayfield, from robots to vampires to clones of Hitler. At this point, a demon is no surprise. Crowe offers a hand for a handshake.]

I-I see. The church seems to be the only place s-safe from the rats at night, just to warn you.

[eyesofaserpent]

Rats? Brilliant.

[He looks at the hand a bit curiously considering his full hands. He puts one half of the watermelon in it instead.]

Well, I guess I'm staying up tonight. How long have you been over here, mate?

[perfectsymmetry]

[WORKS FOR HIM.]

Ah, this is, um, day three for me.

[eyesofaserpent]

That's rotten luck, mate.

[He digs into his half of the watermelon.]

[perfectsymmetry]

Ah. Story of my Mayfield life, I-I suppose. [Please excuse Crowe while he attempts to have manners and not just shove his face into watermelon.]

[eyesofaserpent]

That's everyone's life in Mayfield.

[Go right on ahead. He doesn't care.]

[perfectsymmetry]

I suppose if you're a-already here, that's true.

[eyesofaserpent]

There's got to be a way out of this hellhole.

[He's talking about Mayfield itself, not just this strange little parallel corner of it.]

[perfectsymmetry]

[Crowe smiles, wanly.] I-I can only hope so. A-After being here so long, i-if I don't believe there is, I... I might as well be a drone.

[eyesofaserpent]

Right. Well... This place has pushed me too far and I'm looking to push back.
