welcome_rpg | 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?]

Ah. Self taught. Even more impressive.

It was part of my work back home.

What work was that?

One that included a great amount of physical activity.

Same here. What a coincidence.

Were you also some form of law enforcement?

A bit of both sides I suppose. Being a pirate while protecting an entire planet sort of makes things ambiguous.

A pirate?

Space pirate to be exact.

Are you some form of extraterrestrial?

One of the more human-like ones I suppose.

Did Mayfield give you this current body? Or were you humanoid all along?

I look the same as I always have.

[He'll look down.]

Aside from some clothing. My only piece of personal clothing here is this coat.

Strange...for an alien, you look no different from a human.

Earth don't have some sort of copyright on this design ya know.

True, but...

Would you prefer something scary? Because there's someone here I know that can provide that for ya. Though...I dunno if he has that form yet...

[Hopefully not. Basco is infinitely more annoying like that. And painful.]

No, it will be alright.

[Though she is curious about it.]

Probably for the best. He's creepy enough in his human form.

How would you define...creepy?

Basco...well...he's very flamboyant. You never know what he's really thinking.

Though, my bias may be coming into play here. The guy backstabbed our crew.

I will have to be careful of him then. Is he here?

Haven't seen him. Though, the same can be said for a lot of people I know here.

How many people have you seen in this town?

I'd say compared to that prom thing a couple of months ago, the amount of people I've seen in this place is a small fraction. And from that I've seen one person that I actually know.
