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!

Re: FERRIS WHEEL

[What a coincidence! That's the way Marvelous does things too! Riding on top of things beats in them any day of the week.]

So...you're here too?

[suicidoll]

(Absolutely. Standing on them adds extra cool points!)

I am. It's certainly interesting, isn't it? If Mayfield is a prison, then perhaps this place could be thought of as solitary confinement.

[sumofallreds]

I've heard of pocket dimension prisons before. Not exactly what I pictured though.

[He's heard rumors of the Makuu Prison space after all.]

[suicidoll]

Then perhaps that's exactly what this is. It's a touch too...colorful to be a standard prison, but I wouldn't put it past Mayfield to employ mind games.

(She folds her arms, staring out into the blank area that lied just at the edge of town.)

It won't take long for the situation to worsen.

[sumofallreds]

Its probably already worse than we think. Look at this water I found.

[He tosses her a glass bottle, full of the murky junk.]

[suicidoll]

(She catches the bottle, looking it over with noticeable disdain.)

Looks like working on water filters will become a priority. One can be easily put together with a few bottles and the materials here. Afterwards, it's a simple case of boiling it to ensure its safety. Still...having to resort to such methods isn't good.

[sumofallreds]

True enough. Unless they've spiked it somehow.

[He'd rather drink anything else to be honest.]

[suicidoll]

That's a concern I certainly can't deny...still, I suppose we'll all figure that out once someone drinks from it.

(Someone else, of course. No way in hell she's drinking it as is.)

[sumofallreds]

Someone else can volunteer as far as I'm concerned. I'd rather go thirsty than drink this sludge.

[He says what both of them are thinking ^_^]

[suicidoll]

Then perhaps we can find someone who'll be willing to sample it? Or simply just distrust it until cleaned.

[sumofallreds]

I'm all for the second. I don't feel like shanghaiing someone to be a guinea pig.

[suicidoll]

Well then, here's hoping someone will be brave, or stupid, enough to drink it.

(And she'll just pass back that container now.)
