day 5

[mayfield_mods]

[The fifth day doesn't dawn at all. In fact, the sky simply isn't there anymore; the only thing visible if you look up is pure black nothing. Most of the carnival itself is no longer visible, having been blanketed by thick white fog; any attempt to enter said fog will result in your body rapidly disintegrating. The street at least still seems to be intact, but with no way out and the fog slowly creeping in, who knows how long that'll last?

Luckily, it seems like the cavalry has finally arrived.]

(OOC: This marks the last day of the event! Anyone who has won a prize from Mayfield's carnival will be able to access both Mayfield and this area through the funhouse, and will be able to take one person with them on each trip they make. If your character is not rescued by the end of the day, they will be disintegrated by the fog and will wake up the next morning in Mayfield with the standard revival effects. You are free to comment in this post regardless of whether your character signed up for the event.)

FUNHOUSE

[mayfield_mods]

[The hall of mirrors has been completely decimated, making it quite easy to access the main area. Anyone who won a prize will be able to see rifts where they'll be able to enter and exit the main area of Mayfield's funhouse with one person who doesn't have a prize.

Better still be on your guard though, because it doesn't seem like the place is empty.]

Re: FUNHOUSE

[theboywiththebook]

[Henry's been standing in the door way of the funhouse looking in. The mirrors were all broken inside, but there wasn't anything inside. Still things were becoming desperate. People needed help. So he was going to try calling to anyone.]

Hello!? Anyone there!?

[a_gentle_boy]

[Henry receives the clip-clopping of hooves as a response. Within moments, Lucas and his table seem to materialize out of nowhere to burst onto the scene.

He screeches to a halt.]

Henry! Keep going; there's a way back through here! At the very back, past the broken mirrors!

Re: FUNHOUSE

[queen_of_swords]

[By now she's feeling almost 100'5, and she walks up behind him.]

Back where it started, huh?

[adropofjupiter]

[If Patchouli knew Marisa was just wandering into the weird metaphysical holes in reality without telling her... she'd be really angry. But with having lost Remilia at some point and Flandre still unable to be found, Marisa had to go into the creepy places in search of them.

At least she wasn't sick.

So, weird clown doll in hand - a freaky beacon is ever there was one - and broom in the other, the witch stepped through the broken mirrors and ventured into the evil!funhouse.]

Flandre? Remilia?

[Marisa called out in a shaky voice that betrayed that she was actually scared. She had a spell at the ready to blast something if it came at her.]

[badladyscramble]

[After escaping the church with Flandre, Remilia had headed for the place it had all started, where they'd come from and disappeared in: the funhouse. It looked to be in ruins now, but maybe that meant they could find a way out.]

Come on, Flandre, it's just a little farther.

[envyspites]

[There's actually a laugh in the darkness.]

Sorry, not a vampire last time I checked.

FUNHOUSE

[eyesofaserpent]

[Crowley looks around, seeing all the broken mirrors.]

Bollocks, is there any way out of here?

[a_gentle_boy]

[From behind the walls of mirrors echoes the sound of a horse's hooves. The tea table effortlessly soars across the broken glass as Lucas returns through from the other side, having retrieved his most trusty mode of transportation. He comes to a stop immediately upon seeing someone else wandering the funhouse.]

Keep going! That hole - see it back there? It will bring you back to Mayfield!

[a_gentle_boy]

[Two houses and the funhouse. That was all that was left of this place. The prediction he had made to the stranger outside the Ferris wheel seemed to have come true. ...But he wasn't going to stick around and wait for death if he could help it.

He knew what lived inside the hall of mirrors. But it doesn't stop him from venturing in once again. ...Ten minutes of cautious exploration and a frantic dash home later, a boy mounted atop a galloping tea table smashes back through the other side of the rift and bursts back into the fog covered carnival.

The clip-clopping echoes eerily in the fog as Lucas accosts anyone he can find.]

Get on!

[There's no time to explain. He'll kidnap and drag people through if he has to, and that Strength stat of his is surprisingly high for a teenaged boy.

Hopefully, he doesn't get interrupted at any point during his impromptu shuttle service. He'd rather not fight those children again if he didn't need to.]

[crazyclownwoman]

[She's tired, hungry and thirsty. However being a Batman rouge, that's sadly not new. In fact as she doesn't have any broken limbs or bullets, she's doing pretty good. So she'll manage to leap onto the table.]

Where are we going!

[hairflyingheartpounding]

[....Well this is something you don't see every day. Rapunzel has no idea what's going on, but she trusts something in the boy's tone and does, indeed, hop on the table. She's more terrified today than she was at all before, so she's not in the place to think too much.]

What is this? What are we doing?

In what might be the last shuttle that's run...

[spitefulvitae]

[It was a miracle that Natalie had gotten this far. She had spent far too much time poking about in the houses, and the fog had closed in frightfully near and frightfully fast. She only knew to head to the fun house because of some tinny voice on a speaker that she had heard a few times.

She's running towards the house with all of her might, but there's fog closing in behind her rapidly. She'd shout Lucas's name upon spotting him, but... running. Far too occupied with doing that.]

Is it okay to set this before the final run?

[balzams]

[Quite close to the fun house is a seemingly young boy, shaking and leaning all his weight on a makeshift crutch. Lithuania had left him there and told him to leave as soon as he could before going back to check on the others. Just being apart from him, especially now worried him more than he wanted to think about. Latvia just had to trust the he would be okay.

Out of all the ways he could have been rescued, a walking tea table was the one he least expected and he eyed it nervously]

A-are you sure it's safe?

[walking_nuke]

[Balin's made his way here, trying to find Caesar. He'd encountered Tachikoma and heard its announcement, so he knows this where he'll have to go if he wants to escape this dissolving Other Mayfield.]

[But he doesn't have a prize with him, and wandering the funhouse, he can't see any visible exit leading out of the place.]

[His sidearm is drawn, and he's highly on edge. Spending a whole day in pitch black nothing, falling the entire time, and then witnessing the way the town is coming apart at the seams over the past few days will do that to you.]

[strawberryredgrave]

(That's the problem in spending time in places that suck. The suck kind of latches on and doesn't let go. Thankfully, this badass here willing to help out.)

Yo. You lookin' to get out of here?

[drank_the_milk]

[Once the doll Yuna had won at the carnival reappeared in her pocket earlier in the day, she knew exactly what she needed to do. And so here she is, back in the funhouse again, transformed into her gunner girl outfit with twin magic pistols at the ready. Friends and family are trapped here, and she's going to get them out if she can help it at all.]

Rin! Garvi! Hakuno! Heather! Where are you guys? It's Yuna! C'mon, let's get the hell out of here!

Re: FUNHOUSE

[truffulacide]

[screw it, between the looming threat of disintegration and the possibility of having his bones eaten by monsters, he'll deal with the monsters. at least he'd be able to fight back; you don't generally get a chance to do much of anything against the former. going poof does not bode well with him, not at all.

he finds his way into the main area easily enough, wide-eyed and skittish. he looks around wildly.]

Aw, man. Did it tear this place up, too?

Re: FUNHOUSE

[strawberryredgrave]

(Well shit, looks like he can go back and forth now...whatever; time for Dante to play hero.)

Yo! You wanna get the hell outta here?! Then come with me!

[all_ofthethings]

[Greed appears in the Funhouse, the head of a mangy looking stuffed bear with real teeth poking out of his pants pocket.]

Well, this thing isn't acting possessed anymore. Anyone there?

Yoshika + Byakuren + OPEN

[jumpsinline]

[ These two ladies are in pretty bad shape. Hijiri Byakuren has sustained multiple injuries, not limited to a missing eye, broken arm, and various other wounds both superficial and not.

With limited mobility thanks to a days-old sprained ankle, twisted neck, and a missing left eye of her own, Yoshika is carrying Hijir in her arms like it's no big deal. Having no comprehension of the pain her body is experiencing, she shuffles toward the source of the commotion.

There is just one problem with her approach to the funhouse:

She has no idea how she's going to get them OUT of here, though she is clinging to the monk as if she was the most precious thing in the world to her. Which, here, is accurate only because Hijiri is precious to Kyouko and Yoshika promised her that she would stay with her!

If she catches your eye — or you even come too close — she'll shout at you? ]

Hello? Helloooo! Is this the way ouuut?!

(( OOC: Hijiri may or may not respond to this, depending on consciousness! ))

Re: FUNHOUSE

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade is looking desperately for a way out, for himself and his loved ones. As he was searching the Fun House, he caught a glimpse of Henry and Lucas in the mirrors, but then they vanished.]

"Hello!? Anyone here?"

FUNHOUSE

[ceasetoexist]

[Stupid stupid stupid. He should have guessed that even if the prize he won was insignificant that it should have meant something. Even if Pokey couldn't have known at first he should have at least taken it into consideration.

Right now he's just darted into the fun house and rifts. He isn't set on saving just anyone; he knows who he needs to get to. As can be seen through his bellowing.]

Ugly! Hey ugly! Where are you?

[Slugger if you aren't here he is going to have a damn heart attack.]

[charming_freckles]

[Sue ran back and forth as Puffy flew alongside her, trying not to panic. She'd gotten to this place through the funhouse, why couldn't she find the way back?!]

I-it'll be okay, Puffy! We'll figure this out!

...uhm...

C-can anyone help me?! How do I get out of here?!

[relic_hunter]

[He had said he would help Heather find a way out... even if her last words sounded... depressing. When he learned the prize he won had connection to the fun house, he acted immediately.

Having tied the small teddy bear to his belt, he went in.

Locke wasn't ready for what he saw...]

Hello?
