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?]

[York snorts; that's a bit of an understatement.]

Yeah, well. Seems like they all hate us without ever giving a reason why, so. Good to knwo you aren't all like that.

[vesania]

There's a lot of distrust out here. Probably comes from living in various castles that try to make our lives miserable. I can't say I agree with their actions, but it's easy to understand what would make them that way.

[York snorts a little, but he supposes he can understand that.]

See, I always had the opinion that if we gave up, we were letting the castle win. Not giving people a chance seems like giving up in my book, so--I'm just glad you're different.

[vesania]

We didn't let our castle win, we escaped, so it didn't get us all. Unfortunately the victory still feels very hollow.

[Still, he'll smile] I'm glad we can give you all that much.

[encryptedlock]

Oh, I didn't mean you guys. You aren't giving up at all, or you'd still be there. [And probably dead.]

But still. Anything we can do to help, let us know.

[vesania]

And that wouldn't have ended well. [Stupid crazy ass castle]

Thank you, and likewise.

[encryptedlock]

Sure. Any time.
