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?]

Like a Summon Spirit. They're Elemental Beings from my planet that I made pacts with. I can call on them for help to protect people or in battle. Each one rules over the mana of a different Element--like Fire, Ice, Water...

[She tilted her head, curious, and ignoring the "Sweetness" comment.]

Hasn't anyone ever asked for your help in battle?

[hotdate]

...

Yeah no that has never happened ever in my entire life. Because I have, like, free will.

[Suddenly he is not sure of this one. Mayday mayday crazy chick]

[rose_of_battle]

Oh, don't get me wrong, they have free will, too. I mean, if I break the promise I made, they'll drop me like a hot potato.

[She looks away, then back, her eyes troubled.]

Someone had done that to them once; I don't want to hurt them like that again.

[She's not crazy; she just comes from a different world...]

[hotdate]

[Nope. Definitely all up in the crazy here as far as Heath's concerned. He even takes a cautious step back, in case she has some sort of elemental catching net hidden on her person]

Ohhhhh so you bribe them. Cool. Great. Thanks for clearing that up.

[rose_of_battle]

[She tilts her head, confused.]

Bribe them? Hell no! I had to prove myself to them in battle by fighting them! And the only reason I was allowed [catch that word] to was because...

They called me the "One Who Has the Right" to make the pact.

[Her brows knit together as she finally notices.]

Is something wrong?

[hotdate]

...That's really freaking weird.

[Sadly his trust of humans isn't at its strongest. They tend to be douchebags where he comes from. He's learned to cope with them better in his years here, but things like this are a horrible reminder that Normies Are Trouble]

Ahahaha. Not a thing, Sweet Thing. Nothing wrong here. Noooope. I've just remembered I've got to do a thing. So I'll go ahead and do that.

[rose_of_battle]

[She looks at him a moment.]

That's how the people of my village felt, too, because it means I probably have elven blood, and that's not looked upon too kindly on my world.

[She's not saying it outright, but she hadn't been treated too well by others, but that didn't stop her from trying to make friends.]

Oh yeah, you need to take that medicine to the others, don't you? Are you sure you don't want me to help explain how the gels work?

[hotdate]

[Elves are crazy fantasy things gosh :|]

It's okay, I've totally got it. Thanks for the uh...medicine.

[rose_of_battle]

[Nope. They're real. Although maybe not crazy. More like "arrogant".]

Oh. Okay. [What had happened here? She can't figure it out.]

If you need anything, though, my name's Sheena Fujibayashi.
