Winchester/Fairfield Expedition - The Town of Fairfield

[winfield]

[You saw the towns some time ago, but it still took a good couple hours of treading past the farmland around it before you actually reached it. They have a distinctly "old western" type of feel to them, with their dusty, unpaved dirt roads and the collection of buildings-- most of them obviously wooden-- sitting side-by-side along either side of the road.

More observant residents may notice that the nearer they come to the town, the more people that look up and notice, and subsequently hurry off or head inside. And even if you didn't notice it as you closed in, it sure becomes apparent once you step under the archway of the town; there's no one around. The tumbleweed that rolls by almost seems to be mocking the residents.

Another thing that becomes apparent is the state of the town. Besides having gone eerily quiet, some of the buildings have been wrecked. There are gouges in the wood, where it hasn't been punched through or torn apart. Rails are broken, and a few of them even have damaged or missing doors.

Are they too late?]

[He'll offer her a small smile] No, what's crueller is when it make us forget them.

[Her face falls and she looks down]

As someone who's been forgotten more than once I completely agree.

[vesania]

I've been lucky enough not to forget anyone, but some people in our group have...lost people. Some haven't even managed to find out which person has been taken from them.

[kungfuwitch]

[She nods] My loss isn't a memory, either. I've known enough people who have. Personally I think it's the worst loss this place can give to people.

[vesania]

I agree, it's taking a part of you that's supposed to be sacred.

[kungfuwitch]

Taking away an item is one thing but once you start messing with people's minds? You risk changing who they are. If I forgot any of my sisters I don't think I'd be the same person at all.

[vesania]

I can understand that. There are people in my life I know have shaped me in so many ways. It'd be impossible to think who'd I be without my memories of them.
