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

[jadedkill]

Jade laughed. "I wouldn't know. I'm just saying that, if it would work in theory. Maybe you should try it, put it in a soup and see if that works, but the mayor did said the medicine would loose it's effectiveness if expose to sunlight and oxygen. Either way, I think it would be quite a bitter tasting soup."

As soon Bracken is finished, Jade lead him outside the trapped door.

But before he could close the door, Jade noticed the raised mounds of earth. "Ah, did you raised these rocks to use as a stopper for the trapped door?" Jade asked.

[shy_mage]

"I-I didn't want anything to fall on... on me."

Even now, he crawled out and got away from the ferris wheel as quickly as he could. If anything were to come apart he didn't want to be there. But, once he was standing several yards away, he stopped and turned towards Jade.

"D-Do you still need more w-water?"

[jadedkill]

With a nod. "Of course. That's clever of you. No, I had enough, so please stand back."

Once Bracken is away at a good distance, Jade also stood back at a distance to get some space. A soft, glowing blue light appeared around him, a circle of glyph with strange symbols appeared, and a geyser of water appeared from the circle to erode the earth and it's soil away.

The trap door fell down with a slam! Thereby, closing the door shut! But protecting the well, as the result to protect people from misusing it.

[shy_mage]

It felt good to be called clever. Maybe people didn't think he noticed because he didn't say anything, but he paid very close attention to comments on his intelligence. It was a highly sensitive subject for him.

Standing back and watching, he leaned on his staff. This magic was different than the magic on his world. He knew all the general spells, and had seen plenty of custom spells, and rarely saw anything new. He wondered why the water appeared and watched intensely.

"Wh-What spell is that?"

[jadedkill]

Once the blue light dissipates and faded away, the circle glyph dissipated. "Hm? A water-type spell called Splash." Jade said. He inspected the door to make sure everything is locked and put his smartphone away in his pocket.

Turning to Bracken, with putting his hands in his pocket. He smiled because it's a job well done. "Do you know some water-type spells too?"

[shy_mage]

He nodded. "B-But they're not like th-that one."

Though he didn't demonstrate. Maybe another time, another place.

"I... I still need more water, t-too." He glanced around, pointing in what looked like a random direction. He didn't keep things very precise, but he had an idea of where he had been and where he hadn't been. "I-I think I need to go that way."

[jadedkill]

"All right." Jade look slightly concerned as he observed the boy, he met. Bracken been through a lot. A creepy maze, this Ferris wheel, and other rides.

Shifting the subject as to what they're going to do next. "So, do you have any idea where you going?" It's getting cold as it's getting dark. "It's getting dark soon. Would you need some company until it's time for you to go home? The mayor said the park is dangerous after dark."
