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.

[Chell looks around the room, ignoring the food. She had eaten before going in the funhouse and had exited 3 days into the future. She had plenty of food and water in her bag, so all Kreutzer had to do was ask, and she'd share some.

Her main concern right now was figuring out if anyone else was in the house.]

[mayfield_mods]

[Both of you start feeling incredibly, unbearably thirsty.]

[suicidoll]

(Oh god, it hits her so suddenly, she has to stop to hold her throat with a hand. It wasn't too long ago that she drank something...why now?)

Ugh...this is sudden. My throat's so dry...

(And her voice might even be a bit more raspy because of it.)

[jumpsuited_rat]

[Chell's used to being thirsty, but this is much more extreme than what she's used to.

She pulls the bag in front of her and in her haste to open it, fumbles at the string. After several moments, she finally is able to get inside and she scrambles through everything until she at last finds a fresh bottle of water.

Chell opens it up and starts guzzling it, not realizing that Kreutzer's in the same shape she is.]

[mayfield_mods]

[As Chell drinks the water, she'll no longer feel so parched. But she will notice a strange flavor to it.]

[jumpsuited_rat]

[Once Chell's thirst is down to a manageable level, she's able to think more on what's going on. She finally does notice the strange flavor and stops drinking.

She holds the bottle under her nose and sniffs, trying to see if it has an unusual smell.]

[suicidoll]

(At which point, Kreutzer will become aware of this water bottle.)

Might...I trouble you for a bit of that?

[mayfield_mods]

[It smells fine, but Chell begins to feel incredibly drowsy.]

[jumpsuited_rat]

[Chell starts to nod and hold out the water bottle to Kreutzer, but her head droops and her hand goes limp, dropping the water bottle onto the floor.

She stumbles slightly, shaking her head, then hits the ground herself.]

[suicidoll]

(Which would've been a very disappointing turn of events, but seeing Chell drop to the floor was a higher priority. She'll rush over to the woman's side.)

Chell! What happened...?

(She still has a pulse, her breathing's normal...was she knocked unconscious? What could've...?

...the water bottle. Kreutzer covers her face with one hand and backs away, looking around the room for anything else that might suddenly change.)

[mayfield_mods]

[Chell is completely knocked out and won't be able to wake up again.]

[suicidoll]

(Well this is a problem. And she has no plans on leaving Chell behind, so with her flying doll's help, Kreutzer carries Chell's body to the front door, hoping to abort the mission and go back for now. With one person unconscious, they wouldn't be able to get far, anyway.)

[jumpsuited_rat]

[Being unconscious, Chell doesn't have any say in the issue, but she'd be thankful for Kreutzer working on getting her out of there.

She weighs around average, maybe a little more for muscle. Her open bag though, is fairly heavy, as she stockpiled it with enough food and water for a little over a week, the shotgun and shells Kreutzer herself had made for her, a first aid kit, a flashlight, candles, and matches.]

[suicidoll]

(Well, she certainly likes being prepared, doesn't she? Kreutzer had to admit that she was impressed; it would mean more weight for her to carry, but at least there would be use for it Unlike unconscious Chell; sorry

Closing up the bag, Kreutzer will put it on while continuing for the door. Might as well make this easier, if possible.)
