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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
no subject
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.
