Event Log (Finding the Cure)
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.

"I wouldn't recommend that, if you're suggesting that. I'm not fond of electrocution, thought that's one easy way to greet death."
Either way, the roller coaster complete it's track...and here they go again for round too. [-_-] The speed and velocity remains the same as before.
Closer and closer, Jade eyed the keys up ahead. He has better eyesight with his glasses out, but then it's hard to tell because the keys are small, and they are many candied fake keys.
He reached out with both hands, deciding to risk it. He's numb anyway, so what is the point of fear? He grabbed and clutched quite handful of keys with both hands so quickly, that some of the brittle candy keys break with his strength, and then held on to the bar tightly as the car has no seatbelt.
Therefore, Jade can't check if has a real key until the ride is over. [He'll find out that he does in the next tag after Ted!]
no subject
Round they go, on another railed trip through the castle catacombs. There were little things Ted missed that kept the trip from being too stale. He saw a room filled with presumably wine barrels, with far too much dust for even the most indolent castellan. Torches that must not have been lit, not even falsely by electricity, adorned every hall.
He resolved to copy Jade when they reached the end with the two-hand technique. He almost didn't get anything, spreading out his depleted senses into two impotent halves. He's surprised and quick to praise when Jade ups the ante.
"Hah, goodness? Why didn't I think of that? Not one to shy from stark efficiency, eh? Pray tell the real key is among them."
no subject
As much Jade enjoyed the ride, another round of repeat is only asking for a repetition of boredom of the same sights and sounds of the same decor. Still, it was an entertaining get-up of a ride through the old castle. Jade opened his hands and brushed off the broken, brittle pieces of old candy...only to revealed a gold key with a faint glimmer.
"I think I found it. Care to found it's the real thing?"
Jade rose up to get out of his seat, and waited for his friend to follow suit to the treasure room. "I saw this well on the way here, but it was locked up."
no subject
His eyes lit up when he saw the prize at last. "Certainly! Lead the way."
no subject
"Hmm, this treasure rooms. It's fit for a king." Jade said, with a touch of irony as he walked around looking for that well. Which is in the back of the room, while fingering the shape of the key, not able to feel it.
no subject
"There's a vaguely sacrilegious thrill in this, isn't here? One's so rarely permitted to touch anything in these places. But now that it's dead, we may touch it as much as we like. A sort of architectural necromancy." That just made it sound even skeevier.
"Heh, well let's not defile the corpse too long. Suppose we wouldn't have to if there wasn't life-saving treasure buried with it, like the vain Egyptians and their silly Pharaohs." He literally tripped over the correct chest. Walking and talking was beyond his nerves now. He took it in stride.
"Ah, try this one! It must have been trying to get our wan attention."
no subject
"Hm, necromancy. Though isn't that sort of branch is in Everglade?" Jade never heard of Egypt or Pharaohs, and that's something the mage wants to read in the libraries.
"Are you all right? Watch your step." Jade stepped over the coins carefully, seeing them slide under the sole of his boot, but not feeling it. The treasure room is quite a mess after being abandoned for so long.
Jade stepped closer to the well, and examined the cover. There is no dust on top. "Hmm, someone must have been here before." Taking out the key, he pushed the gold in and turned around and there is a click.
"Look like we found the real treasure." And carefully, Jade slowly lift the cover.
no subject
Magic planes? Sounds like a Hindenburg waiting to happen. He chuckled. "Hah, it is one of our more frivolous inventions. Your kingdom was probably more sensible not to discover it." Gonna wade right past the necromancy topic. If he discovered Jade even mildly approved, that would cool his like of him considerably.
"Yes, of a sort. One of the benefits of loss of feeling is never feeling its consequence. An ailment with its own remedy." The bruises would be apparent later, of course.
Why he thought it was a chest, and not a well cover could be chalked up to Ted's usual imagination gone silly. He's as excited as if they had found a real treasure chest, however. With baited breath he recovered and joined Jade's side to look upon the healing waters. Or their fourth, slapping him too hard on the back.
"Well done, man! Good thinking, being as greedy as possible. I ought to respect rules less and think like that. We're one quarter closer to the cure now. Is it a quarter? Perhaps you've had prior successes."
no subject
"Oooh!" He can't feel the force of his slap, but he felt the motion, that's for sure!
"Well. Here goes." Once the cover is completely off and on the side, Jade peered into the darkness and deepness of the well. There's a healthy bioluminescence glow, and Jade cupped his hands to take a drink of the cool medicinal water.
"Taste kinda bitter." But strange enough he did feel some sensation, a warmth pouring back in his limbs and body, though partially.
no subject
"My thanks for adding another pair of hands. Or arms. I've been thinking about what you said earlier. About saving others.
There's the cure, of course, our immediate concern. But truthfully there are other reasons. We're both bounty hunters, and I take it both of us wouldn't be much good for it if our bodies were like this, eh? Might...overdo it." Ted barely wanted to think about what might happen if he went even a little too forcefully after a quarry.
"That sounds vain, doesn't it? Thinking that our bodies are so precious to the public weal that their slightest flaw might mean the death of others."
no subject
Jade moved the fingers in his hands, stretching his fingers. "Hm." He heard Ted, but Jade is very focused in the feeling. "I feel something in my hands, but hardly anything in my legs. I suppose, there is more wells to find. Do you feel anything? Hopefully, you drink enough. I'm going to cover this up, because the mayor warns that sunlight will degrade the effectiveness of the water."
no subject
"Ah, a little. I haven't gone completely insensate, thankfully, but I believe the cure needed to be combined wholly for it to have any effect. It's too bad none of our charities are wholly unselfish. The cure is good, but for me as well. Crimefighting is good, but we get paid for it. Makes one want to do something...unselfish, I guess, though selfishness seems to guide these things.
You're committed, then, to finding the rest?"
no subject
"I heard something about four...flowers, I think. But with no signs to tell which is which, I suppose we have to make of the well's location and it's effects. Which I'll document in my phone for reference."
Sighing, "I guess our quest continues. Do you want to continue to search with me, or part ways to cover more ground?"
no subject
"Good thinking; making this public like that. We can spare everyone else the fickle candy canes." Not much for broader discussion, this Jade. Ah well, he appreciates that kind of practicality.
"Mm, well, fate or destiny or God brought you to me to lend your aid; if needed, you'll surely come again. As I said before, solutions aren't always so far from their problems. At least not strange ones like these."
no subject
But for now, he's in a more agreeable mood. Perhaps he enjoyed Ted's company, that he's pretty open minded. "All right, so whatever fate or destiny brings an opportunity, we'll help each other save this town. Bounty hunters bring down crime, volunteers to save innocent civilians."
Jade puts the key in his pocket, for his safe-keeping.
no subject
He smiled. Talking about saving is always a high note for him. "That's what I like to hear! All right; for saving. Sounds like something to toast, but my tongue probably won't appreciate it. We'll meet again, until then, farewell." Didn't stop him from talking the livelong day, but that's through hard work and effort.
no subject
But then again, Jade has been surrounded by younger people for friends as of late.
Hopefully, if they meet again, not only the both of them are healed, but the town is saved as well. Much of Jade's principles come from his failure when he was a doctor, before he joined the military.
With a nod, and a faint smile. "Farewell to you as well." Until they meet again.
