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!

Yes, I suppose it's something for those who are trapped here...but perhaps somehow, others back in Mayfield will be able to hear it, too.

Oh? Have you discovered anything of interest while on surveillance?

[genkibot]

Oh, that would be helpful if we could use them to communicate with the others back in Mayfield!

But unfortunately nothing out of the ordinary has been reported on the Tape Recorders yet.

I'll check back later though to see if they say anything new! Or if I see anything interesting, I could report them here too!

[suicidoll]

That would be wonderful. I'm sure you'll have plenty to report if you decide to record your own tape. Your findings will be very helpful, I'm sure.

[genkibot]

Oh I hope so! Protecting people and gathering information are part of my main functions, so I hope I do a good job at them!

[suicidoll]

I'm sure you will. There's no reconnaissance bot in town like you, Tachi.

[genkibot]

That's so much different than where I'm from. There's about 10 Tachikomas working in Section 9, so we're not exactly one of a kind.

[suicidoll]

Ah, but the rules work much differently in Mayfield. Whereas you were one of many back home, here you stand out as an original; where I was sentenced to another fate, I'm here with another. This town enjoys flipping things around.

[genkibot]

I wonder if the town does that on purpose, do you think it is? Or is that just an odd coincidence?

[suicidoll]

I believe it does so on purpose, but to be honest...I'm really not sure.

(It's also something of a sensitive issue for Kreutzer; that question has been picking at her since day one.)
