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!

Lucas!

[You're getting a hug from Harley.]

[a_gentle_boy]

A-Ah!

I'm just switching! I won it earlier! I played three times and paid three nickels!

[crazyclownwoman]

[Laughs and ruffles his hair after letting go.]

It's just me kiddo. Relax.

[a_gentle_boy]

Huh?

[Lucas will turn around and breathe a sigh of relief.]

A-Ah...! Miss Harley.

Ahahaha... Um. Sorry about that.

[crazyclownwoman]

No problem. I'll try not to sneak up on you next time.

Have ya' done much exploring here yet?

[a_gentle_boy]

Ah... A little bit. Not enough to have found anything interesting, though.

[crazyclownwoman]

Me neither.

Well aside from a blank tape recorder but that was it.

Did you see the street yet? There's only three houses you can go in. Water works in em' though it's gross looking.

[a_gentle_boy]

I'll have to go through a little later. I thought I'd work my way through the carnival first...

What do you think about all this, Miss Harley? Are there really holes and codes and everything we're supposed to find?

[crazyclownwoman]

[She pauses for a second, stopping to think it over.]

....I'm not really sure.

There might be.....and it's not like there's much else to do but look. Or it might be a lie. I guess we just have to explore and find out.

[Shrugs.]

I don't think there's really anything else we can do right now anyway.

[a_gentle_boy]

Yeah. Since we're already here anyway... We've just got to look through everything the best we can.

[crazyclownwoman]

Exactly!

Hey, if we're still here tonight, let's meet up in one of the houses.

[a_gentle_boy]

Ah, sure! ...It might be a little crowded with everyone that's here, though, if there's only three houses.
