Event Log (Finding the Cure)

[plungeintofire]

Welcome to Happy Heights!

Attleton's premier amusement park!


Or at least it used to be.

Attleton's mayor has mentioned the unfortunate only access point to the items needed to make the tonic that will cure the tragic sense-depriving infection that's going around. They'd thought the disease was gone, so they hadn't bothered to maintain the area, but the wells are Happy Heights are the only place that's still going down to the aquifer. They could drill down but-- well, they don't have time for that before the disease really sets into permanence! The number of freak incidences and the decrepit state of the theme park will make it difficult to maneuver, but they've notified the electric company to turn the power on so that people can navigate their way through the park in order to gather the ingredients to make the cure.

Unfortunately, since it's been so long since the park's been opened, rain water and nature have all but wiped the park's map into illegibility. You're on your own for exploration and it's time to find at least four wells from different parts of the park. There are many, but none are a walk in the park to get to! They used to be part of a collection game kids could play when they came into the park.

The mayor warns everyone that the cure is incredibly sensitive to sunlight and oxygenation from the atmosphere- by the time a person can get four, the first extracted water will have their bioluminescence diminished. (And going to that park in the dark... it's too dangerous, he wouldn't recommend it!) It probably won't make it out of the park, so drink it right away! Good luck!

OOC NOTES: There will be different areas listed for different flowers that have soaked into the wishing wells' aquifer. Each area will have a couple of different scenarios you can play out- you're responsible for playing them out and you're welcome to have a blast with whatever you want to do! If you don't want to play it out but you did play sensory deprivation, feel free to handwave your character getting a cure, but remember: If you manage to have at least four different threads with 10 comments from your character, your character will receive an Attleton Charm ICly and for 'exceptionally valiant efforts' in eliminating the disease. (3 month prize claim limit puts this prize available until Dec. 21st.) To claim a charm, click here. Good luck!

Don't forget: If your character tampers with any of the things that are set up to get access to wells except when stated, the ride may explode or collapse, cutting off the well. Pretty unstable park, you know.

If your character wants to explore more of the park than where the wells are, they're more than welcome to. Feel free to make your own thread if you just want to have your character playing on any rides or doing things that they want- get creative, have fun, but the only areas with wells are those listed.

Scenerio 2
Worst place to get lost in and Abel isn't desperate to find the cure, but he is on a mission. Thankfully, Abel isn't hungry enough to eat the lollipops and chomp his teeth down on them.

But to find a way out however, that takes some time.

Scenerio 3
Abel is examining what kind of ride this is. What does it do? Maybe he'll need a help of someone else. He figured out that some rides do lead to a well and some don't, and he's willing to give this one a test to find out.

Scenario 2

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia stayed close to Abel as they try to navigate the maze together. But she was being distracted by the lollipops. She could got for something sweet right now, but she isn't sure if she lost any other senses besides her touch.

Despite the tasty treats decorating the place, they were in a labyrinth and there's a very real possibility they will never find their way out.]

"Abel... I'm scared."

[So much for her earlier bravery.]

[02crusnikabel]

Honestly, shame on him for dragging the poor, gentle princess into this...candyland nightmare. It's his fault for being lost. These gigantic, towering lollipops of swirly colorized hell is...evil.

"I'm sorry. I know. This looks evil, but..."

Hey, he's curious. He just have to find out. He punched one of the lollipops, a short one, and the lollipop was crushed to pieces.

"It's just candy. Only someone in this place have a bad sense of humor to make maze out of this."

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia jumped in surprise when Abel punched a lollipop.]

"I don't want to be trapped in this place forever... Abel? Can you break through the candy walls and make us a short cut out?"

[She may have beaten military commanders in strategy games, all of which lost to her on purpose because she was the princess, this was certainly not one of her most brilliant plans. But, in a way, she feels somewhat safer being with Abel.]

[02crusnikabel]

[Thinking he sees no harm in that, he keeps punching one lolipop at first, and then a second, and a third until he broken so many, he left behind a trail of broken lolipops and he's getting tired. It's easy for him, but the sticky stuff break into fragments and they stick to his gloved fists.]

This...this isn't easy. I wonder what kind of candy factory that can find a lot of ingridients and sugar to produce this stuff.

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia was, at least, feeling better that Abel did all he could with such a request.]

"There has to be some way to find the right path out of here..."

[She looked up, trying to see if it might be possible to see over the walls. But they looked too high from her perspective. Then she looked around some more, seeing the broken candy fragments.]


"Abel? Can we make a trail from the candy so we know where we've been?"

[02crusnikabel]

"That would be easy enough."

[Abel continued to break some more. He doesn't look like it, but he is very strong that he break the thickest candy. But then again, when he was a young lad, he broke handcuffs with his brute strength, soundproof glass in a cell when his superiors disliked him and misbehaves when he was a rebellious teenager, and that was when he entirely human.

Eventually, they left behind a trail of broken candy on the floor.]

"There, that should serve it's purpose. Whenever we get lost, we can follow it back where we started."

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia followed Abel, watching him smash the candies into a trail they can follow. She feels much better now that she thinks they have a chance to get out.]

"Are you okay, Abel? Doing that doesn't hurt you, does it?"

[02crusnikabel]

"This was nothing. It was just hard candy." He said with a shrug.

Then a thought, an idea struck him.

"I have wings. If I could fly up above, then maybe from the air, we can find the trail to the exit. What do you think?"

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia nodded at his suggestion. It might work. Granted if the ceiling isn't lower than it appears.]

"Be careful, okay?"

[02crusnikabel]

"You don't have to look, if my wings frighten you."

[Makes a gesture with his hands that she should turn around and close her eyes.]

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia turned around and walked ahead a few steps, covering her eyes with her hands.]

"Okay, Abel. You can bring out your wings now."

[02crusnikabel]

[Abel made sure she didn't look. He doesn't want to frighten her.

She didn't. Good. Her eyes is closed.

Abel slowly unraveled his pitch black wings to it's full span. Anastasia can hear a beat of feathers beating at the ground and the wind, as Abel took up to fly upward to get a good view of the labryinth and study the path.

You know, for mischief, she can take a look and have a glance, but he's quite far up in the sky, but she would get a good view of how large his wings are.]


"This maze can go on forever. It's really big." [He said, talking to himself as he study the layout of the maze.]

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia eventually did turn around and take a peek. The wings really were quite astonishing. Majestic even. She wonders what it would be like to soar through the air.]

"D-Do you see anything, Abel?"

[02crusnikabel]

[Abel stayed up in the midair longer because it's hard to see the exit as the lollipops is a bad work of art with their swirly colors.]

"It's really big...and vast. What kind of construction workers have all the time to construct this maze? I need to go up higher up to examine some more. It's hard to see."

[Abel flew higher up, higher and higher until he's a sizable dot up in the sky.]

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia was beginning to have a feeling of dread as Abel ascended higher and higher. She felt alone, and it was quiet. She started thinking that any moment now, a monster will come around the corner and take her away, never to be seen again. Now she doesn't like this arrangement and hopes Abel will come back down soon.]

[02crusnikabel]

[From the higher view, Abel takes his time to study the layout of the maze. In his Crusnik form, even at the lowest of the low level, the nanomachines increase his vision. He makes a slow 360, scanning the area.

Anastasia has to wait for a while, while being on ground, as Abel is studying the perimeter of the maze. It's going to take him a while searching for that exit, door, well...anything.]

[gamerrep]

Chiaki had someone come on over and managed to examine the control booth and was carefully examining it when her face slowly lit up. It seemed the way it was working wassome kind of game, the one thing she was good at.

"Ah, it's like playing simon says." She had been so focused, she might have forgotten there was anyone else there.

[02crusnikabel]

"Must be." Said Abel, fixing his glasses in place.

"Hold on, while I check the mechanism. You know, a lot of these rides are broken, that I discovered with some of the others." Abel is examining the buttons at the dash board.

It was then he noticed he's talking to a strange girl. "Ah, hello. My name is Abel. I'm a priest. Were you searching for the cure too?"

[gamerrep]

Chiaki nodded slightly. It was all she was going to do when she pressed the first button as the pattern seem to start. She pressed the pattern correctly again before she even says anything else.

"Seems like it works okay." She said not even looking up from the game as she was completely focused, but she at least managed to pull out a name. "I'm Chiaki."

[02crusnikabel]

With a nod. "Nice to meet you, Ms Chiaki."

With a small frown, "Hold on. Refrain from pressing more buttons. Maybe I have to check the wires from the inside."

Abel opened the door to the panel on the side.

"Hmm, some of the wires are not in the right place."

Since Abel has discovered a number of rides being broken at this point, but some are fixable before they can be functional, he carried a little tool kit in his pocket. It helps that he ran a Thrift shop, so people tend to leave a number of things at his store for donation.

"Wait, while I fix the inside." And the priest set to work. "I think I can figure this out." He was an engineer in the space program, fixing computers in space all the time before he becomes a priest.

[gamerrep]

She paused for a moment, it's not like anything was going on, but she refrained even though it was continuing. She knew what would happen if you don't play the game right away, one would have to start again.

Leaning over slightly, she couldn't help but be a little confused. "If it was fully broken, then how come the buttons work when you press them?"

[02crusnikabel]

"I don't think it's fully broken." Said the priest as he begins to tinker with the wires inside. Then he groaned, as his white gloves are stained with very old and aged of smelly black grime and grease, as the machine was abandoned for so long, nobody is around to grease the mechanism and care for it properly. "Ahhh...just...great. I have to get a new pair."(-_-)

However, he must be quite good at it, because the ride start to hum with life, and the ride start to spin around....but very slowly in a slow rotation. Therefore, partially fixed, but not professional as the priest is an amateur. Once the ride starts, the buttons began to light up with blinking red, green, blue, and yellow.

Abel coughed a bit. The machines had oily smell. Either way, the priest did the repair work. "Well, that wasn't perfect."

At least now, Chiaki can do her part in figuring out the proper color sequence of the buttons to get that ticket.

[gamerrep]

"New pair... I'm sure it will be easy to get a new pair of gloves." She paused if only for a brief moment. ""It is the gloves you are on about, right?" She wasn't exactly sure.

She had started to kneel down to get a closer look at how things got fixed, wondering if her friend was here if he would have been able to do more, but before she tried to speak she could hear the noise. It was enough for her to move to stand up and look at the buttons as they went.

She had to start again, but she didn't overly mind that much. She was good at games after all. So it wasn't long before she started pressing. The pattern she was slowly figuring out and slowly it started to get faster with ehr keeping up the pace.

"Do you ever play games?" She figured to ask while in the middle, not losing any focus.

[02crusnikabel]

"Hm? Yes, I have to get a new pair. Still...just ugh. Nobody seem to grease up or oil these machines properly."

He slides his pair of gloves off and throw in the trash, but it seems the oil bled through and stained his hands, which he wiped off with a handkerchief. Meanwhile, as he takes care off cleaning himself, he lets Chiaki figure out the pattern of the colored button lights on the control booth.

"Do I play games? I used to when I was a child, but then gotten busy with work. Now that you asked, perhaps I should give it a try again when I have free time."
