genessia | 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.

[It feels like an eternity now. Waiting on either Abel to come back and make her feel safe again, or for a monster to arrive and take her away. Anastasia presses up against the wall and slides down into a sitting position, bringing her knees up for a defensive ball.]

[It takes Abel about 20 minutes, but he found the well. It was tucked neatly safely away in a forest, in the glen, hidden by the trees at a far distance away from the maze. From his view, it looked like a very small version of a well as he looked down like a map. Then it takes another 20 minutes to figure out a route, but the quickest way?

Abel slowly descended down and landed on the ground, his wings are still out.]

Princess, I found the route to the well, and I can get us there quickly...but I need to increase my power for that. I will look like a scary monster if I ramped my power from %15 to %40.

[He said, warning her.]

I need that power to summon my scythe. It's...my weapon from my own blood. I explained to you before, that I'm...sort of vampire. My scythe can plow down these walls, and I'll make a path for us.

[At last, Abel was back. Anastasia got back to her feet as he landed near her and listened to his explanation.

At first, she wanted to ask why he can't just carry her with him to the well, but then knocking down the walls could be beneficial to other people looking for the well here also.]

"I'll be fine. I'm not going to be scared of you. I don't want to be."

[Actually, he could do that too, flying her over, but then perhaps Abel will do people a favor if he makes a path for them. ~~It's that, or the author is a big failure for not thinking of it.~~

But perhaps that's good, as Abel might need to use his Other Self's power to protect others in case of need and this is a need indeed, and he needs his own power to put it to good, productive use. And he doesn't her to be scared of him.]

You can look the other way.

[He said gently, then activate his power to 40%. To be honest, he never raise that level for the entire month he had been in Genessia, and it felt familiar again after a month of disuse. His skin turn blueish, his eyes has a red glow, with his hair flowing up...giving him a vampire-demon look.

From his right hand, a large red scythe appeared with spikey spines along the handle. It seems to look like blood red liquid and then becomes solid to be a weapon. He raised it up, above his head and with a mighty blow in one strike (given Anastasia is far away from a good distance), he destroyed roughly 300ft worth of candy before him, creating a path equal to 6 to 8 blocks of a street. His power in this state did a LOT more damage than he could do with his bare fists and punches in his regular state.

You could move forward now.

[Yet, when he changed in this state, he still looks like himself. Still Abel. Just...in a different form.]

[Once it was all over, Anastasia turned to look at Abel. She can see the alterations to his form, but even though she was intimidated, she focused on Abel's face on his face alone. After a moment, she smiles kindly at him. Then, she sets out through the holes in the wall that Abel made.]

"Thank you."

[Oh that...thank you. That made Abel happy. She isn't scared of him or didn't run away.]

Let see, just a few more strikes.

[He raised his blood scythe to strike again, candy crushing his way to victory!]

Let's keep going. I believe we can get there in about 20 minutes.

Edited 2016-09-24 03:32 (UTC)

[Anastasia would stay ahead of Abel, but not too far ahead. She would move out of the way whenever Abel was going to strike a wall, then continue forward.]

"Abel? Doing this doesn't wear you out, does it?"

[He raised his scythe again to strike the lolipops again!]

"No. As long I'm at 40%, but never above it, it's going to be fine. It's part of me...for 800 years."

[They kept walking...he strike another, then another, until at last, with final strike, the well is in sight.]

"Well, this one is difficult to find."

[Abel lowered his power back to 0%, shift back to his regular form, with his flowing hair down, which he ties it back with a black ribbon.]

"Go ahead and drink from that."

[Abel said as he approach to the well, peering down at the water depths, and see it has a healthy bioluminescence glow.]

[Anastasia made her way over to the well, her shoes tapping on the ground. She pulled herself up slightly to see into the well and drew some of the water, quickly taking a drink since she still hates the taste of it.

But before long, much of her feeling was beginning to return. Perhaps one more well will do the trick.]

"I can almost feel things again. We're almost done, I think."

[Abel helped himself to drink the well's water as well. Much of his cold is disappearing, and his throat and nose isn't runny and hurt as much, and he felt relief, and feeling slightly better.]

So drinking these wells...the water is a medicine.

[Well, Abel knows what to do by now. As he started to gather material of twigs and leaves to act a cover for the well to protect the water from being exposed to sunlight.]

[Quite a miraculous medicine at that. She waited until Abel was finished cover the well for protection before she turns toward the exit.]

"Too bad I can't speak with my world's Goddess of Oceans. I would ask if she knows the secret to the water in these wells. Or even use it to let me use healing magic."

[She sighs in content. She doesn't really need healing magic.]

"Oh well. Ready for the next one?"

[Once the well's opening is protected.]

"Perhaps another time. For now, we stick to just finding the wells on foot. Much safer that way. Yes, let's go."

[With the nod, he walked over to the exit, through the door. How many hidden wells they could find?]
