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.)

I think it was destroyed by the fog. I didn't sleep, so I saw a bit even though it was dark. ♪

[Rin looks behind her into the house.]

We probably can't spend much more time here before it starts blocking the way, huh... ♪

[a_gentle_boy]

Blocking the way?

[He looks surprised.]

...You mean the fog will take it soon, too.

[roadroller]

Maybe not this house, [since it's looking inexplicably better than the last time Rin saw it,] But it could get in front of the funhouse, right? ♪

[a_gentle_boy]

A-Ah. ...Right.

[Lucas nods and holds out a hand.]

It'll be alright. I think... this is all we're going to find here, anyway. Mayfield's not that nice about leaving us hints, right?

Let's go to the funhouse. I just think there's something important there we should see. The children were guarding something...

[roadroller]

I don't know.

... What children? ♪

[Rin will take his hand anyway and stare out into the gloom. Which makes her squeeze a little tighter.]

[a_gentle_boy]

[Lucas will squeeze back in what he hopes is a reassuring manner.]

The clown children who attacked us. ...It's kind of a long story. But I think there was something back there.

C'mon, let's go. The sooner we can solve all of these mysteries, the better.

[roadroller]

[Rin nods.]

If you think something's back there, then I wanna see it! ♪

[She steps off the porch, pulling him along with her. With the street being the only thing in tact, at least it's not hard to figure out where to go.]

So these clowns... do you think they'll still be there? ♪

[does Rin need to steel her mind for clown wrangling, seriously.]

[a_gentle_boy]

I hope not.

But I think I know how to fight them better, this time. They like to swarm, so you have to make sure you don't get surrounded.

[roadroller]

All right.... I'll keep my guard up. ♪

[Sometimes she can't believe the things Mayfield makes her talk about.]
