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!

[congratulation then.]

A place to calm yourself? Sounds nice.

[well, you could probably do more than calm yourself here, but I doubt that will happen.]

[suicidoll]

It does sound quite nice.

(Yeah, she won't be making any moves on him. She wasn't really in the mood for it and she was perfectly fine not going through with such actions.)

Though it's rather amusing that this would be the one place in this entire carnival to be a calm one. The church could be another option, but many may take refuge there.

[shadow_possession]

[he'd probably thank you if you didn't put any moves on him. he wouldn't understand.]

Mmm…humans do take comfort in quite places. But why here? [Dainn could understand why a church would be comforting but not here.]

[suicidoll]

(Hmhmhm...well, she could probably divulge a bit of the truth now.)

It is a place for two individuals to spend some...alone time, you see. Few places in a carnival offer privacy, but this ride was built to offer such privacy.

[shadow_possession]

Ah...it does seem suited for that sort of thing. Though it raises the question of why this place is decorated as such.

[...guess who doesn't get what "alone time" means?]

[suicidoll]

(You're so adorable, Dainn...)

Under normal circumstances, this woman's face wouldn't be all over the tunnel. It'd be something much more...preferable. Nonetheless, the answer is fairly obvious. After all, that is why this ride is called what it's called.

[shadow_possession]

[he'd resent that slightly if he knew it.]

Unfortunatly, most human attractions are above my understanding. [or he just never bothered to try and understand them! either way, it seems you might need a few more hints.]

[suicidoll]

(Well, at least she won't say that much.)

I see...well, consider this: why do you think it's called the "Tunnel of Love?"

1/2

[shadow_possession]

[humm....]

This is a tunnel and....

2/2

[shadow_possession]

[it's a tunnel. a tunnel of love. human love. now it clicks.]

Ah.

[suicidoll]

(Kreutzer giggles just a bit. Looks like he figured it out.)

It is a strange human ride indeed. I must admit that I didn't have these in my home, but it's nice to try new things, isn't it?

[shadow_possession]

[he looks a little annoyed.]

I suppose so. [never mind - according to him, anyways - he couldn't understand love. or, again, he just didn't bother trying.]

[suicidoll]

(It's a tricky little thing, but hey, the ride's over! Getting the hell out of there is now an option!)

Well, I thank you for the company all the same. I think it was a nice way to start off this...venture.

[shadow_possession]

[yeah, he's going to be taking the option to leave. climbing out of the boat now.]

I think so too...I learned something out of it, anyways. Thank you for letting me join you.

[suicidoll]

It was my pleasure.

(Of course it was the troll's pleasure. She's climbing out of the boat herself, but on the other side at least! Now there's space between you two to run away!)
