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.

Except, he didn't recognize it. Surely Jade would - they had just been there. But it looked completely unfamiliar to him.
"I-Is this the way we came...?" he asked worriedly. His memory failed him, and he looked around uneasily at the unfamiliar place, frozen in place as he scanned it to look for anything he recognized.
"I... I wouldn't mind s-something to eat..."
no subject
Poor Bracken, he's frozen in place. So Jade...took his arm gently to get him to follow him.
"Yes, but not here. Let's eat back at the forked path where there's a good light." He suggested.
Jade's calm voice and rationality. Hopefully, that will bring Bracken back to his senses.
"No need to feel upset. This maze is just a game. If you want to give up, I'll lead you back to the entrance and I'll come back tomorrow to find the well myself."
no subject
But, when Jade asked if he wanted to give up, he shook his head. "I-I need to get the water for K-Katze..."
He didn't come here for fun. He came on a mission, and even if it scared him he was determined to finish it.
When they got back to the fork he sat down to rest, keeping a fire lit in front of him for warmth, and just in case Jade wanted to cook anything. It didn't bother anything around it, though, so there was no reason for it to cause any problems.
"What... What did you bring?" he gazed up at Jade curiously.
Bracken earns title, "Brave Mage"!
Mazes can be a trigger for claustrophobia too, with their twisted corridors, repeated right and left, and the dim-lit areas...mazes can cause confusion.
"I see. I came on a mission to save myself and a close friend of mine. But my mission will help the other people affected by the disease too." Jade found a seat on the ground to rest and sat next to him. The fire helps them feel warm.
"I find that pretty admirable of you. If I haven't found you, you would have gone through this maze by yourself, lost and alone. And if you can't find your way out, you would have starved to death by now." Jade chuckled a bit. "That makes you a Brave Mage."
Jade opened his ruck sack, and showed him triangular sandwiches wrapped in plastic with labels of their content on them. He brought a lot of them. "Bought these from a convenient store. I have ham and cheese, tuna, egg-salad, crab-meat salad. I have snacks too, like potato chips, and bottled water and iced tea."
Yup, Jade the military man came prepared and is willing to share.
no subject
Thinking of starving in the maze didn't make him feel much better. But, it was likely he wouldn't have been confused and scared, perhaps ended up crying somewhere. Still, his denial was weak because he didn't like to argue.
He reached out a little hesitantly, ready to take anything that Jade handed to him. He was hardly picky with food. And it was nice to just take a break somewhere that they could easily escape if they needed to.
As he nipped on his sandwich he seemed to stare at nothing in the maze, lost in his thoughts. It was a lot like camping with the fire there and sitting on the ground, eating. He nibbled away at his sandwich without any complaint and quenched his thirst, satisfying his stomach. The break was nice for his body, too. He'd been on the go quite continuously for a while, from walking all the way to the city to exploring the carnival grounds.
"How... How do you solve a maze l-like this...?" he mused aloud.
