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?]

Dr. Brewer

[vesania]

[And while other people duck and hide, one middle aged man, followed by a teenage boy, come out to greet them. The boy stands back for now, occasionally winking at a few of the ladies, while the man clears his throat]

You'll have to excuse my people's reactions, we've had a rough couple of days. A rough couple of years, really.

[He takes a moment to study their faces, frowning softly]

I'm...afraid I don't recognise any of you. What group are you travelling with?

[sworn]

[As others move to greet Dr. Brewer, Vereesa takes a bigger interest in those that are trying to remain hidden. Even with her normally keen vision dulled to human standards, she still notices their subtle movements in the windows and behind swinging doors.

She furrows her brows and tentatively approaches what was once a saloon.]

Heath

[hotdate]

[The teenage boy accompanying Brewer seems to have gotten bored of all the standing around, so he steps forward]

Okaaaay, so we've got some conquering heroes, that's awesome. The Doc kind of minored in hospitality, so if any of you need food or rest or whatever, I can show you the places you need to be.

[He snaps his fingers and gestures to...pretty much every female in the group] Especially you foxy ladies. Click-click-rawwwr.

Anyone up for a chance to take five, hop aboard the Heath Train.

[And he'll just be starting off towards the tavern, follow him if you dare wish]

Reconstruction!

[princelyspirit]

[After a chat with their host, Utena sets out to spread the news: the good doctor has requested repairs. To the fence and gate, particularly, but there's more! Walls and lookout spots need to be fixed (or built) before the collectors return, and the buildings could use some love, too. If you're not busy with anything else and you look like you're handy with a hammer, you may be hijacked by a pink haired teenager with a toolkit. Let's get moving!]
