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.

"I really doubt you could lift three people. We're not that light you know." Plus Koishi still was just a little kid. Even Yang couldn't be sure she'd be able to do that, as moot a point as it was right now.

The main problem is that winding around her, there were two hands on her shoulders already so...what was coiling around her?! "H-hey! What are you doing!?" If you're wanting her to hold still, you might want to reassure her of what's going on. Winding, coiling tentacle-like things are not in her plan on being lifted up and carried down.

And now she's being carried down. Okay...clinging to Koishi's arms now. "Uh...just...go slow okay?" Being carried by a somewhat unknown person who can apparently use tendrils of some kind. Right...That's perfectly fine right?

Maybe she should have used the harness instead.

"It's okay miss!" Koishi's reassurance came in the same bubbly and happy tone. "Satori youkai have extra limbs." Their flight slowed down, Koishi shifting a little bit. Something wrapped around Yang's wrist and tried to coax its way into her hand. It was dry and velvety. A tentacle? With a heart shaped spade on the end?

"I've got you really secure and your center of gravity is balanced well so there's no chance you'll fall." This was true. The way Yang was being held felt very secure. Well, as secure as being in something without one's feet touching the ground. "The cable is to your right. If it would make you feel better you can reach out and touch it. We have a long ways to go though. Because I'm going so slow, really."

"But when we get there we'll get you started on the cure, okay? Being blind is hard." She spoke from experience.

Yang pulls her hand away from the tentacle thing as it enters her hand, jerking it back quickly as she reaches up instead for the cable. "Right...Uh...Just be careful." she says as she tries to keep from wiggling on the makeshift seat she was in. This was really the weirdest thing she's ever had done.

As soon as the two reached solid ground, Yang hops forward a bit, wobbling to get her balance when she can't see before she straightens up. "Alright. So then...where are we going? I want to get to the well. Not fall right into it." Hopefully Koishi will lead by her hand and not...one of those tentacle things.

[koishi_komeiji]

"Of course Miss! I wont drop you or anything. That would be terrible." She sounded way too cheery when saying that but the tendrils certainly had a good grip. Yang wasn't going anywhere. Whats more the flight was very steady, the cable for the zipline sliding steadily through yang's hand, letting her gauge the speed. They were moving very slow. At least in contrast to how fast Yang would be going if she used the zipline... but this was certainly safer.

Eventually they did touch down, Koishi warning yang before the slack in the tentacles changed, setting the blonde down very gently on her feet. "We're here!" That doesn't help Koishi. "I don't see the well in the immediate area but we should look around some, okay? Do you know where it supposed to be?"

Fortunately a hand took Yang's own this time and not more tentacles. Koishi was ready to lead the way! What could possibly go wrong?

[beauty_burns_gold]

Well the cheery mood at least helped alleviate some of the stress of not being able to see as she was lowered to the ground. The blonde crouched a bit, making sure she wasn't going to up and lose her balance from being set down as she turned her head as though looking around.

Taking Koishi's hand in hers, Yang shrugged as she followed after Koishi. "Don't ask me. I can't even see. I don't know what the well would even look like."
