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

[inquisitor_lavellan]

Alley had still been ducked down, and took the bar right to the chin. She stayed dazed a little longer than Cole, seeing sparks and tasting blood.

"This thing is a torture device," she proclaimed weakly, almost too quiet to hear -- because what was volume moderation when you were deaf. Slowly, she sat up to look around, brow furrowing.

"Is it supposed to do this?" the Inquisitor wondered aloud, and turned her head away from Cole to spit blood over the side. "Don't answer that, you know the instant you go for your notepad this thing will go roaring off again."

She hated being deaf!

[hugs_for_nugs]

Cole shook his head violently and set to wiggling himself free of the bar. If it was going to move again, he was getting off now! That she meant he should sit still went right over his head. Top priority was to make sure he never moved that fast ever again.

There wasn't much room off to the side. Just a narrow platform with railing that came to knee height at most. He had no idea how lucky they were to have that platform at all.

[inquisitor_lavellan]

Alleyana let out a string of curses that would have had Sera beside herself with pride. She struggled to get free of the bar, too, but her leg armor kept getting caught on it at the knee, leaving her still in the cart -- precarious -- but unsecured if it moved again.

[hugs_for_nugs]

Cole jammed his hat back on his head and leaned over to help push her leg down to the seat so she could pull it out. He wanted her off this horrible thing as quickly as possible too. No one needed to be on this ever again. They could climb down. Or something. Just needed to get out.

[inquisitor_lavellan]

The Inquisitor allowed the help, scrambling out once she was free and onto the platform. She couldn't hear it creak, but she could feel it, under her boots. "Back the way we came," she suggested, "if we can get close enough to the ground, we can use my grappling chain to climb off."

[hugs_for_nugs]

Cole was thrilled by the sound of that plan, his gut would hurt the rest of the day after that blow. Yet... He frowned and took a careful step back so he could pull out the notebook. He was looking forward to her getting her hearing back, he really was.

- Well? -

[inquisitor_lavellan]

"We don't even know if there's one here," Alley said, "and I don't want to walk in front of that cart. What if it comes barreling at us?"

She shook her head.

"No, we're aborting this one. We'll find another potential well." And she pointed at the way back, which Cole was in front for.

[hugs_for_nugs]

Cole nodded, he wasn't up for arguing the point, not that he wanted to. He gave the cart a last, nervous look, and turned to lead the way. Carefully.
