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.

"Thank you Bracken." Abel said, feeling grateful.

Abel walked to the end of the platform where there is a five step steel of stars. Abel walked down until his boots meet the track.

"Hmm, it felt so...dead." Abel said, stepping on the metal track with his boots. "Well, let's go walk through the tunnel, shall we?"

There seem to be a small trail of dried dead Aster flowers leading to the tunnel. Abel took that as his clue in which direction to go.

The stairs clanged as he banged down them a bit too noisily, and from there was the scraping of feet on gravel. At times the sound of their own footsteps made him wonder if someone was following them at times. He kept a short distance behind Abel, but he didn't lag behind too far.

When they entered the tunnel he decided increase the size of his flame. It almost felt like light was eaten away by the darkness in that tunnel.

Luckily, besides being creepy, broken, and overgrown, there didn't seem to be anyone else with them in there. Bracken occasionally looked behind to check if anyone was following them, but he never saw anyone.

"H-How far do you think this goes..."

It was creepy, the entire scenerio, because the place has been abandoned for such a long time with no humans having visited here in decades. There is s dank, stale smell coming from the tunnel, and everything felt dirty. Already, black grime is under Abel's boots, and the priest looks quite upset about it.

"I have to get new boots." He grumbled.

But he appreciates that Bracken increases his flame for the light. Abel admittedly has some slight fear in the dark, but with the light it's easier to see.

As the enter the tunnel together, Abel heard something moved in the dark, but with Bracken's light from his flame, it turned out to be a giant rate.

"Ugh. Ugly thing."

At Bracken's question. "I don't know, but let's keep going to the end and see where it goes."

Back home, he wouldn't have been so scared. He knew he could have beaten anything, or anyone, there. The only competition would be his friends, and they wouldn't hurt him.

Here, he couldn't gauge how strong people were. Things worked differently, and people had much more of a chance to be horribly scary. He felt like it was years ago again, when he was still a new little mage and had to be so wary of everything.

His caution made him perceptive, though. He noticed the purple flowers everywhere, even growing out of the walls. But as they neared the end of the tunnel, he really noticed it seemed to get damper going one way. Without much thought, he followed the earth that glistened under his light.

Not only that, but the smell. Abel's sense of smell/taste came slowly back, much to his displeasure.

There's a mix of pink and purple flowers being littered and scattered on the tunnel floor, on the tracks, and covered the train in vines, and perhaps one of the reasons why it's no longer functional.

"Looks like the flower is some kind of weed." Abel remarked. "And held the train in place." The flower petals, some dead, some alive were crushed softly under their footsteps as they head in a forward direction through the tunnel. It felt moist and damp, so there must be water or a canal running parallel with the tunnel, which explains the flowers survival and growth.

"Th-The way they glow is pretty, but... but s-scary, too."

It was such a dim, eerie purple. He almost shrank away from his own voice as it echoed in the tunnel. He inched closer to Abel for safety, but his eyes were still drawn to the moisture that glistened in the light.

"I... I wonder wh-why they let it get like, like this."

Why did they abandon it? It seemed like so much stuff to just throw away.

He followed where there was moisture, but stopped, waiting to see if Abel was coming, too.

"I think the glow is the medicine property and the strength of the medicine." Abel remarked. "I noticed this same glow in the wells too. If the glow is weak, the medicine is weak. If it's glowing strong, then it's a strong medicine. I figured that out, I think, but it's a theory."

Abel, of course followed along, as he and Bracken trek deeper into the tunnel until they passed by the train's front, which is the engine/boiler chamber. Moisture trickled down the front body of the train where the conductor should manned and drive during the train's glory days when it's functional, that the paint and metal eroded from the water's moisture.

But the air is getting staler and dank, with their voices echoed and bounced on the walls of the tunnel. If they keep going down further on the track, the well should be close by, but then it was too dark to see. Abel's foot got stuck on a weed or two, but he shook them off.

"Bracken, I think we need more light. It's really dark in here." But he stay closed to Bracken for his light.

He considered his options and, seeing how we the area was, decided to create a circle of fire above them. He thought it probably wouldn't catch anything on fire here, and it would be much larger for better light. It was like a puck of fire, flames swirling about as if they were trapped inside of a container.

Luckily, though the silhouette of the overturned train loomed in the background, the well turned out not to be too far away. It felt so dark and lonely, like a well in the middle of a western ghost town, that he just wanted to grab the water and get out of there quickly.

He yanked at the lid to the well and pushed it aside, grabbing onto a rope nearby to bring some water up with a bucket.

Abel felt the same. The environment of the crammed train, tunnel, and well felt claustrophobic. Abel realized how much he missed the cushy moments of his life in the city with his store, and how much he needed a shower after this journey is over.

Still, at the sight of the well, Abel helped Bracken pulled the cover off from the well's opening. When Bracken lifted the water with the bucket, Abel take a taste test, and shudder. "Eeeyuck. It's pretty bitter. Needs a water filter, I think."

Not only it dark and lonely, but it's kinda cold too. The flowers must have never seen the sunlight, which is why they withered so quickly.

"Filled up as much as you need, and then we leave." Abel hoped that sound like a plan.
