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

[creativedifferences]

Okay, then...are we supposed to break it properly? That seems cruel.

[And kind of dangerous, honestly, but she's trying not to think of that just in case that is the key to them finding the well.]

[gamerrep]

I really don't know...

[She looks back to what there was in store before looking around. It was really hard to tell, but there must be something. However it wasn't long before something stood out.]

I found a pot that seems out of place.

[creativedifferences]

A pot?

[That's enough to get her to perk up somewhat.]

Ooh! Should we smash it? Isn't that what would normally happen in a game?

[gamerrep]

Not always. I mean there are certain games where you do, but it was never places in the center like this. It means it's important.

[Which means smashing might not be a good idea, even if they could smash it anyway.]

[creativedifferences]

Hmm.

[Ibuki peers into the pot, just to confirm her thoughts.]

And if there's nothing to take out...does that mean something needs to go in?

[gamerrep]

Possibly.

[She looked in slightly. Nothing in there, but what else could they need to do. There was nothing else that looked like it was out of place.]

But what else is there, really?

[creativedifferences]

Maybe the mascot-chans were supposed to give us something? Or...maybe they did and we just didn't realise it?

[It's the only thing Ibuki can think of, that what they'd given back was in fact what had been given up to allow them to proceed.]

Let's go back and see if the mascot-chans will mind us taking those things back.

[gamerrep]

Okay, you take Donkey-san and I'll do the others since... The donkey still kind of creeps me out.

[It was still making that noise and that was probably why.]

[creativedifferences]

Really? But he's so cute and friendly!

[But Ibuki is happy enough going to reclaim his former lost item.]

Sorry, Donkey-chan, there's been a mix-up. Looks like we'll have to borrow this a little longer.

[And with a final pet to his nose, Ibuki's heading back to the pot.]

[gamerrep]

He makes a noise that hurts me ears a little.

[Chiaki had gathered the rest of the items before heading back toward the pot. Once she got there she started to place them in before looking around.]

I think I hear something.

[creativedifferences]

Huh. No wonder Ibuki gets on with him so well. Though I'm sure he doesn't mean to.

[Probably she wouldn't be saying that if she could hear him but that doesn't mean she can't feel sorry for him now.

Then again, it's Ibuki. Maybe she would still feel the same.]

All right! Let's go find the well!

[And now Ibuki will start hunting for the path that must have opened for them to claim their prize.]

[gamerrep]

[Chiaki had gone to follow, the whole time she was keeping an eye out for there prize or at least the entrance to what they were looking for. It didn't take her long before she stopped.]

Ahm I think we need to go this way. It wasn't open before.
