Terre Haute Expedition: Paradisa Town

[save_the_souls]

[After a long few days of traveling, the expedition team has reached past it's halfway point! And as such, they decide to make rest at a place that had once been the target of a previous expedition:]


Paradisa Town
Note: Talking Animal People and Actually Happy Once-ler Not Included

[A small cutesy village that once served as a world change location, it has now been abandoned of all it's previous residents. Though it's condition hardly looks like a place that hasn't been lived in for years- instead it has the condition that everyone just stepped out for awhile. There are more than enough small houses to fit everyone, so it's a nice break from sleeping on the ground (for some anyway). It's also a good place to stock up if you're one of those explorers that forgot things such as food and spare clothing. That is, if you don't mind peaches and fish and really gaudy clothing.]

[Relax, Explore, Pig out on Peaches - the evening is yours to do as you please.]

THE TOWN

[save_the_souls]

[That is a rather simplified map you'll find at the entrance of town and at the train station! The town itself is in a slightly forested area with several ammenitites as follows:

Tom Nook's seems to be a general store full of things such as tacky clothing, furniture, paint and tools like fishing rods, shovels and paper.

The tailor is simply part a fabric store and part an even wider collection of the same tacky clothing.

The train station stands before a set of rails that seem to stop after a mile in either direction if you follow them. There is no sign of an actual train.

The wishing well seems to be a medium size fountain in front of a tree

The post office and police station are pretty standard, though the police station seems more like a lost and found bureau than a crime stopping force.

The museum houses live samples of insects and fish that live in this area (all of whom seem to be wide variety earth species that normally don't live together for any earth savy scientists in the group!). There is also an art gallery full of famous paintings that may or may not be the originals, and a collection of various dinosaur bones.

And the garbage dump is your standard fenced ground to dump garbage, though it seems to be empty right now.]

[solowingpixy]

[Once they arrive in the town, Pixy just comes to a complete halt with a perplexed look coming to his face. Wonderland was weird enough, but now this... onslaught of color and weird?

Yeah he really hoped this wasn't the place they were heading for to begin with.]

What the hell is this place?

[save_the_souls]

[Allen stalls near him, noticing Larry looking very perplexed. He knows this town, he's been to it twice after all. And trust me, he does not look happy to be back]

It's called Paradisa Town. It's a village that used to be a world change.

[gottaknockhard]

[Spike would be the straggler, reluctantly following the group into the quaint little town. Not exactly what he expected from what he heard about these expeditions. (He may not pay the best attention to the reports, but didn't they get excited about a cave the last time...)

He ends up hanging near the lack-of-garbage dump, while he figures everyone is going to be scrabbling towards the houses.]

So I guess they're stopping.

[ensorceler]

[ Raising an eyebrow at Spike, now that she's down from her horse and away from those cursed sheep. ]

Should we not explore? There is no better camping site for miles that I could see.

[schrodingersghost]

[Danny just stops and stares at the town. It was so bright and cheerful, that it was almost creepy. And that was definitely with three e's.]

Where are all the people? This is an actual town, right?

[kid_apocalypse]

Sure looks that way. Almost looks like whoever was living here just up and left with no warning. Kinda weird.

Sorry so late... I'm an idiot and forgot to track the comm.

[rose_of_battle]

[Sheena comes up to him, her expression also wary.]

There's no one here as far as I can tell, but this place looks taken care of...

[They've got a mystery on their hands.]

[deductiongeek]

[It doesn't take Conan long to find the museum. It takes him even less time to spot the inconsistencies of the insects and fish on display.]

But that's impossible! Some of these can't even live in the same climate!

[lord_wizard]

Not that impossible. Most of us aren't from the same place either. It's reasonable the wildlife here is subject to the same principle.

[save_the_souls]

[Allen knows this place. He has been here twice before after all. And not only that, but Allen hates this place. Seriously, every time he's visited this place has taught him that Paradisa Town sucks]

[So he can be found on the steps of the Train Station, sitting there with his chin resting on his hand and looking down right annoyed that he has to be here. ]

Nngh, I can't wait until we move on from here...

[not_mafia]

You were here when this was a world change, right, Allen?

[Tsuna takes a seat next to him. He'll probably check out the houses later. They looked so small, but one of them had to have a bed he could borrow, right?]

[wolfchild]

Why?

[heliotroping]

[He actually enjoyed the first time they were here.

But the second? Never forgetting that rain of gore]

Yeah... I don't want any more surprises like the last time.

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine, on the other hand, has never been here before. And outside of the eye-jarring aesthetic taste, she doesn't see anything particularly wrong with the town.]

That bad?

[quadro_dent]

[Curious as ever, Sunny has been exploring the town as much as she's able, though she's careful to stay close to people she knows and stay out of the way enough to avoid being trampled by any of the horses or other creatures.

Currently she's by the wishing well, leaning over the edge and looking into the water. She'd make a wish but, sadly, she has no coins to throw.]

[not_mafia]

[Tsuna notices the toddler, and...

...

Why the heck is there a toddler on the expedition?!]

W-woah! Be careful!

[He reaches forward to pull her away from the fountain. WHY AREN'T THERE ANY ADULTS AROUND?]

[waterproofed]

[Percy was going by the well too and sees her]

Hey, Sunny. I didn't know you came along, too.

Tom Nook's

[theabjectauthor]

[Lemony is walking the aisles of Tom Nook's, appraising the items on the shelves and making idle notes of the inventory in his journal]

This reminds me somewhat of the Last Chance Superette ... though I do wonder why they thought gingham was a fashionable choice.

[is_mafia]

Gingham is never fashionable. [And there's Giotto in another aisle, looking to see if anything of use or note in this store. He pokes his head around the end of the aisle to look at Lemony.]

And whatever is the Last Chance Superette?

Re: Tom Nook's

[ensorceler]

[ Anne must explore, and this is the first on her top for now, because...supplies! Of some off things, to be sure, but she makes note of the clothing and other items, noticing Lemony writing down something.

Not knowing who else might be listening, she raises her voice so it carries a bit more. ]

These supplies are going to waste here. We ought to take what we can carry. What cannot be used by us can surely be used by the survivors back at the city. Even this strange clothing... It can be altered.

[ino]

[ yeah, ino is just standing in the street, arms folded across her chest and looking generally grumpy ]

Ugh ... I hate this stupid place.

[lord_wizard]

[After taking a (very brief) moment to make sure everyone is squared away, Felix heads straight for the museum, something probably outright predictable to anyone that knows him.

He's not as interested in the animals as he is the bones. He's never seen anything like them before, and isn't sure to what sort of creature they belong to. He knows the general etiquette is to keep your hands off, but he's curious, so after glancing around, he reaches out to touch them.]

[last_rat_standing]

[After examining the town, Bond has decided to start going through the so-called police station. Seriously what the hell is this?]

Re: THE TOWN

[luxe_can_kill]

What a strange town... Where are the citizens?
