welcome to mayfield: day 1



[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!

Sorry. I suppose I'm just reminiscing.

[And he glances back towards a window to see if he can see anything further.] The whole town is.
emperor_cowboy: (Hol - Wait a tic . . .)

[personal profile] emperor_cowboy 2012-06-30 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
The town did in fact get a bit... strange. I'll admit to that.

[He frowned... and looked around.]

Am I t' guess this is the supposed to be the way out? ... To a near empty town?
kyrannical: (une invitaion qui ne se refuse pas)

[personal profile] kyrannical 2012-06-30 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
If it is, I can't help but wonder about everyone else.

Whatever's going on, it can't be good. It doesn't seem like there's anywhere else to go.
emperor_cowboy: (Hol - Now Just a Minute)

[personal profile] emperor_cowboy 2012-06-30 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
No where... else... to go...

[Wait, h e couldn't have that!]

There's gotta be a way out.

[He's going to go explore the rest of the church. No, he's not panicking. Not at all.]
kyrannical: (c'est une reine tueuse)

[personal profile] kyrannical 2012-06-30 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, you're free to look for yourself, but I haven't seen anything. [don't be passive-aggressive Ky]
emperor_cowboy: (Hol - Side Glance)

[personal profile] emperor_cowboy 2012-06-30 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
... and ya checked the walls from top t' bottom?
kyrannical: (veux-tu essayer...)

[personal profile] kyrannical 2012-06-30 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
There isn't much to check, but as I said, feel free to look for yourself.
emperor_cowboy: (Hol - Wait a tic . . .)

[personal profile] emperor_cowboy 2012-06-30 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[He lofted a brow.]

Don't believe in hidden switches, d'ya? In any case... I'll take yer word for it. If there's nothin' here, then somewhere else.
kyrannical: ("qu'ils mangent de la brioche" dit-elle)

[personal profile] kyrannical 2012-06-30 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
The town isn't particularly big. It shouldn't be too hard to find.

[and then he hesitates, but it's been bothering him...]

...This might sound... odd, but you seem... familiar, somehow.
emperor_cowboy: (Hol - Not what I meant)

[personal profile] emperor_cowboy 2012-06-30 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[A pause...]

Familiar? Why, d' I owe ya money or somethin'?
kyrannical: (veux-tu essayer...)

[personal profile] kyrannical 2012-06-30 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I doubt it, but I still... I can't put my finger on why, but you remind me of someone I know.
emperor_cowboy: (Hol - Smug)

[personal profile] emperor_cowboy 2012-06-30 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah? Well... fella must be pretty fancy lookin'.

[For the first time in months... he smirked, almost amused.]

In any case, guess it can't hurt t' have some manner of company in this... wherever we are. So...

Name's Hol Horse.
kyrannical: (bien éduquée en étiquette)

[personal profile] kyrannical 2012-06-30 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, perhaps.

[and that just gives him a flash of deja vu]

...I believe I've figured out why.

Ky Kiske.
emperor_cowboy: (Hol - Side Glance)

[personal profile] emperor_cowboy 2012-06-30 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm? Now I'm curious...

[He blinked and shook his head.]

... ya can tell me later though... churches don't really do much fer me...

Especially completely empty ones...
kyrannical: (elle parle tout comme une barone)

[personal profile] kyrannical 2012-06-30 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not particularly important.

[and somewhere in another Mayfield dimension Johnny feels a pain in his heart]

There's little point in an empty church-- at least, one empty in the way that this one is.
emperor_cowboy: (Hol - Lemme think a moment)

[personal profile] emperor_cowboy 2012-06-30 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
No, s'pose not.

[He shrugs and looks around one last time.]

Could make a nice little fort if anythin'...
kyrannical: (veux-tu essayer...)

[personal profile] kyrannical 2012-06-30 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
At the very least, it doesn't seem actively threatening, just empty.
emperor_cowboy: (Hol - Curious and cautious)

[personal profile] emperor_cowboy 2012-06-30 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
... Fer the time bein'...
kyrannical: (pour Khrouchtchev et Kennedy)

[personal profile] kyrannical 2012-06-30 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
There is that. I don't think there's anywhere in this town safe enough to let your guard down.
emperor_cowboy: (Hol - Displeasure)

[personal profile] emperor_cowboy 2012-06-30 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
That's reassuring.

[Yup. Couldn't just let him be blissfully unaware, could you?]

I'll keep that in mind while I check out th' rest of th' town. If I find anythin', I'll let ya know. How's that?
kyrannical: (pour éviter les complications)

[personal profile] kyrannical 2012-06-30 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll do the same, if I should happen to see any hidden switches.
