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!

Perhaps. It's too early to say anything official, but I think we'll find something important here.

(She gives the area another look around, then signals one of her dolls to pull the lever and spin the Ferris Wheel so she can safely jump off once it's close.)

Tachi? I'll need your assistance with something. The water here is terribly polluted and unsafe to drink, but I believe there are enough resources here to put together filters and purifiers. Will you help me?

[genkibot]

Oh no! That's not good, biological creatures usually need water to survive! I'll help anyway I can!

[suicidoll]

Thank you, Tachikoma. I'm sure we'll be able to resolve this with our combined efforts.

[genkibot]

I sure hope so! If people are stuck here too long without safe drinking water, it could be serious!

[suicidoll]

They may only last about half a week to a week without it...but if we can make a difference, then we have to do it. There should be enough clothing and fabric-based items to put together a decent filter, right?

[genkibot]

I think so, but what would be really helpful is if we could find some charcoal! That's a great way to remove various types of bacteria!

[suicidoll]

I doubt we'll be that fortunate, but if we are, then it will work wonders. I can start a few fires without such if needed, but we'll just worry about what we can find and how we can utilize it.

[genkibot]

Maybe we can check the food stand! The grill might use charcoal, or there might be a first aid kit inside!

[suicidoll]

That's an excellent idea! Let us investigate the food stand.

(And she'll already start heading over there, gesturing for the spider bot to follow.)

[genkibot]

[And follow it does, searching for charcoal!]
