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.

Comments

[youfool]

Ted followed suit. Nothing he noticed yet, but then his notice was poor even at the best of times. Besides, there's still 3 more to find; maybe it'll come together then.

"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."

[jadedkill]

"I don't relish a broken leg or back from a low-life, if I can't feel the pain or a fracture. So, yes I agree with you there."

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."

[youfool]

"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?"

[jadedkill]

Jade locked the well with the cover and used the key to lock to keep the water safe. Jade nodded, being amicable and agreeable with his companion.

"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?"

[youfool]

"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."

[jadedkill]

Jade is not much of a religious or spiritual person, as being a scientist, he's more inclined to be of scientific mind and rational though. And yes, he is practical, but he does get the job done. He's a soldier, after all, so not much range of emotions or faith, but they are very task focused.

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.

[youfool]

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.

[jadedkill]

Jade enjoyed Ted's company. He always appreciated the intellectual types, one that works on the task at hand.

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.
