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.

The food...is insubstantial...it...does not need...to be watched this closely.

[Bazett, in her fevrish state, wonders if this is really Ciel, or some sort of fever dream.]

[ex_seventh238]

[She narrows her eyes, but doesn't budge. Losing speech makes matters inconvenient. In this case, she doesn't have the patience to spell every word out for Bazett on paper, so Ciel will stay her ground, watching Bazett like a hawk without moving. If she's not feeling well, she shouldn't be here, and like hell the food is 'insubstantial'.]

How many...how many new arrivals today? Any...that you recognize?

[She frowns. Maybe this Ciel is just an illusion, since it is refusing to talk.]

[ex_seventh238]

[She stands there and makes no attempts to answer. Bazett can either close in the distance or leave; Ciel doesn't always have all the answers, and she's definitely not going to run after Bazett in her current state.]

[answerer_sword]

[She chooses to try to close the distance. If anything, she has to warn Ciel about the water.

[ex_seventh238]

[She calculates the pluses and minuses quickly. The odds of Bazett having anything useful to tell her are low. The woman seems weak, but trying to take care of her here would also be a bad move. She'd consider it if it was back at the Church, but not here.

The results are obvious.

Without warning, just as if she was never there in the first place, Ciel vanishes under an eyeblink, leaving Bazett on her own to stare at the empty food stand.]
