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!

TAPE RECORDER

[intwobooks]

[What is this strange Muggle contraption...? It takes a few knocks and tries and plenty of button mashing, before the device starts recording him.]

-pid, how does this-!?

What's...what's going on?

[Anyone can see him trying to figure out what the tape recorder does. This includes more button mashing and banging.]

[perfectsymmetry]

[...]

It will work better if you stop banging on it.

[intwobooks]

What is it?

[perfectsymmetry]

It's a tape recorder. Ah, may I...? [Crowe will take a look at it.] There's nothing recorded on it yet. Odd.

[intwobooks]

...

[He glowers at it, before he asks rather stiffly.]

...and what is, a 'tape recorder'?

[perfectsymmetry]

It records sound onto the tape on these reels. Where did you manage to find it?

[intwobooks]

I thought there was a charm being cast on the Ferris Wheel, but all I found was this inside one of the seats.

[perfectsymmetry]

Charm...? [Crowe looks up at the ferris wheel, thinking.] It's Mayfield, so "charm" is a relative term, I guess. Something nasty is cast over everything here.

[Suddenly Byakuren]

Human technology is so odd...

[suicidoll]

(Hi have a Kreutzer.)

Odd, yes, but incredibly useful all the same. This one in particular seems to be a recorder.

[intwobooks]

[Suddenly Touhou.]

It's supposed to be a 'recorder'.

[suicidoll]

(Touhous are great, aren't they Malfoy?)

Apparently so. It almost makes you wonder why they would be left here in the first place...perhaps so the town can enjoy everyone's musings?

Are we following a specific order for tagging?

[intwobooks]

There isn't much to record, they hear us complaining every day already.

[forgottenmagia]

Maybe it's supposed to be cryptic. Survival messages.

Not really. I didn't realize I kinda threadjacked, so I'll get her out of the way. my bad. ^^"

[suicidoll]

Quite so. This is no different from the others I've bumped into, so I shall take my leave. If you'll excuse me...

(And with a bow she goes on to explore the rest of the park THUS RESTORING TAGGING ORDER TO ITS PROPER STATE)

Re: TAPE RECORDER

[answerer_sword]

I do not think it works that way...

TAPE RECORDER

[intwobooks]

[He just glares at the woman and scowls.]

I can see that.

Re: TAPE RECORDER

[answerer_sword]

I think you have to push the red circle button.

[intwobooks]

[And push he does. However, he's not even sure if it's recording, so he'll glance back at her.]

Well? Is it working?

[answerer_sword]

It should be. Try recording your message.

[intwobooks]

...what should I say?

[answerer_sword]

What did you want to leave as a message for the others who might find the tape?
