welcome to mayfield: day 1

[mayfield_mods]

[As you step out of the funhouse, blinking against the strong sunlight, it may seem at first that you've wound up back where you started. The carnival with all of its joys and wonders still stands, the Ferris Wheel looming majestically over Mayfield...

...except, did it always look that new and shiny? And it's not the only thing that got a makeover either; it seems like everything in the carnival has been fixed up from its previously rundown state. Fresh coats of paint gleam from every stand and every ride, and there isn't a spot of rust or a broken board anywhere in sight. At the entrance of the carnival hangs a large banner that reads:

Welcome to Mayfield - the Happiest Town on Earth!

Just how long were you exploring the funhouse for, anyway?

And as you start taking in the changes, you may notice one other minor difference: there are no drones to be found anywhere. It seems like the only other living beings in this place are your fellow townspeople who also entered the funhouse...well, that and the large, vicious looking rats that scurry around from place to place. But don't worry, there aren't that many of them and they only come out at night! So go ahead and enjoy having the carnival all to yourselves; after all, with all those minor safety issues fixed up, what could possibly go wrong?

The back exit of the carnival leads to a small street with four standard Mayfield houses and its church at the end. Attempting to leave the carnival via the entrance (although we can't imagine why you would) will only wind up looping you to the end of this street. Where the rest of Mayfield has gone, well...who can say?]

OOC and extra information about this town can be found here - please read it before you start tagging! Remember, only those in the first group should be in this post!

So the food doesn't make people full...? Glad I packed-wait, you're not human?

[Henry's looking at the boy rather curiously.]

[shadow_possession]

That is correct. And no, I'm not human. We are called Immortals.

[though it means something else.]

[theboywiththebook]

So, what's an immortal?

[shadow_possession]

Exactly what it is. We live for a long time. [...that was a half truth. better than he usually does!]

[theboywiththebook]

Huh...I see...I'm Henry by the way.

[shadow_possession]

Heheh. My name is Itzal. It's a pleasure to mee you Henry. [he bows slightly.]

[theboywiththebook]

[Henry would definitely say that this Itzal guy is a little creepy. But he seems harmless...hopefully.]

We should probably get looking around.

[shadow_possession]

[creepy, yes. harmless, no.]

Yes, we should. There should be something around here that may state the truth.

[theboywiththebook]

[Don't kill him. He's just a little boy.

Henry will nod and begin walking beside Itzal.]

So how long have you been in Mayfield for?

[shadow_possession]

[he won't. human children hold no interest for him.

Dainn smiles.]

Not that long. How about you?

[theboywiththebook]

About a little over a month.

[shadow_possession]

Not that long at all. It seems a shame that Mayfield takes children away from their homes. Do you miss it?

[theboywiththebook]

Kind of...I need to get back there and break the curse on my town and I miss Emma, my mom.

[shadow_possession]

Humm…well I hope you go back home and everything is safe and sound. [that sounds nice, doesn't it?]
