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!

Well that's something. What about the phones?

[perfectsymmetry]

Ah, haven't gotten that far... [Looking around the room, he finds the nearest one and picks up the receiver. After a beat, he flicks the button a few times, and frowns.]

No luck there, either.

[crazyclownwoman]

It's dead?

[Walks over to look at it.]

Yeah, I guess that would have been too easy.

[perfectsymmetry]

I'm not sure what else we can find here. I-If anything, come nightfall, it'll be a place to stay if we don't find a way out....

[crazyclownwoman]

Yeah.

Maybe there's something at the carnival...

At least with a small place it should be easier to search.

[perfectsymmetry]

Yeah, I-I guess I should go back there. They really have us boxed in, don't they? And only a few people here... When you exited into the newer carnival, where were you last?

[crazyclownwoman]

The funhouse.

What about you?
