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.

Well... I lived in my tower for most of my life. Just me, Mother, and Pascal.

[crazyclownwoman]

......Why?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Well...

I have magic hair. I needed to be protected.

[crazyclownwoman]

.....from what? ...Evil hairdressers?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

...No...

People who'd try to take me away and use my hair for themselves.

[crazyclownwoman]

What does your hair do anyway?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

It can heal people and keep them young. I use my hair to keep my mother feeling healthy.

[crazyclownwoman]

Wow. That's pretty neat.

[Give her a moment.]

Wait so your mom keeps you locked in a tower for your own good but also so you can keep her healthy?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

[Gee, when you put it like that...]

It's... It's for my own good, though.

[crazyclownwoman]

....do you ever get to leave? And I mean how would people even know you had magic hair unless you told them?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

No, but... But people know. They just... Do.

[crazyclownwoman]

....Never? Isn't that a ...little strict?

....and how do they know? I didn't know your hair was magic until you told me and I've talked to you a few times.

Harley! [She doesn't mean to snap, but it's... Strange and painful, to have all these points against Mother brought up. She's never really questioned her before, and certainly never the goodness of her intentions, so she doesn't at all know how to wrap her mind around the idea that Mother is being selfish; even using her.] Can we just... Drop it?!

[crazyclownwoman]

[She holds up her hands looking surprised and a little hurt at the outburst.]

Jeeze, sorry. It's just kinda strange that's all.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

It... It's fine.
