    As the park closes, the Lost begin to gather...


    This begins the 'soft' reboot of Changeling.
    • Fairweather has been defeated.
    • Funderland is now the communal location of the Freehold, with each Season having a feature attraction (operational or not).
    • The Freehold has also implemented new positions, and elected their chosen.


    These are all great topics to discuss, just be aware that they have all happened/taken place. This will be the only ST-started thread going forward while Changeling is in 'drift' mode, to help facilitate the reboot. Threads should last a month and future threads started by whoever sees fit.

    Very much like her Mask. However, her skin takes on a more reflective, rubbery texture and she appears... thinner... with limbs that are slightly too long and thin for her general proportions. There is also faint traces of webbing between her fingers and toes.

    See there!

    Someone is still here! After the crowds have gone and the gates closed. A lone figure traverses the park, hunting. A lone figure with a broad brimmed hat; green-and-black dress; ballet flats; fluffy cardigan like your grandma used to make. A worn bag bounces at her hip. She wares sunglasses too - several seasons old and now out of fashion. Come to think of it, most of her gear looks like it could have come from the same Op-Shop.

    Is she retro?

    Her stark skin seems to both absorb and reflect the light and if any Lost were to see her, they might be hard pressed to work out if that stain on her lips is cheap lipstick or an effect of the Mein. The scent of plums, heady and ripe, wafts off her and mixes, oddly pleasant, with her chosen scent for the day.

    Eventually her wanderings bring her to the ferris wheel. The towering ride is stuck now, frozen in time. There is no one riding it now. With nothing better to do - for the moment - she sits and rummages for one of her long cigarettes. Lighting up, she puffs contentedly while the sun sinks and the welcome shadows spread.

    Twilight.

    Almost home.

    Mhairi coughed, and sneezed and coughed some more.

    Her nose scrunched up and she shook her head. The Haunted House was a mess!

    And not in the on purpose way, as was the Haunted House trademark.

    There would be so much to do to take it out of the realm of a health and safety hazard and tweak it so that it might one day be operational.

    As sad as Mhairi was to learn that Morgan had left, tracking Green, it felt better to know that she was the only one in the 'hold that depended on the bitter-sweet thrill of Fear.

    A ragged, yet adorable sweater protected her moonlit skin from the worst of the dust and debris, while a pair of thoroughly stained skinny jeans protected her legs. Her boots, probably more then just 'impractical' in such a place, but after having her footwear dictated to her once, she'd rather never have that happen again.

    Walking away from the corpse of the attraction, Mhairi shakes out her hair from the high tail she'd worn it in, thinking perhaps some fresh air is what she needed.

    Her feet, or Fate or maybe the Wryd bring her to the derelict ferris wheel, and sees someone. A someone who's cigarette smoke doesn't detract or hide the heady sent of plum wafting from her.

    "Hi." moving closer, the spattering of rain trails after the wisp, even as the scent of dead and dying leaves circles around her. Reaching for that plum scent, wishing to spoil it. "Who're you?"

    A voice from the path the newcomer had taken called out: "That girl, I'm sure is a question we've all to ask. I'm guessin' this is the right place for us freaks, right?"

    Strutting up the path was a third beauty to join the other two. Together they'd likely have overloaded many a hormone addled teenager's brain. The dusky bluish skin matched nicely with the denim coat and trousers worn by the woman. The green fanny pack and orange gym bag on her shoulder however were not such good matches, especially the fanny pack. It was just a horrid accessory, even when it was popular in the 1980s. She kept both hands visible

    The woman has been trailing retro girl, wondering whether or not the person was from this Freehold or a fellow traveler. Even if a cigarette was a little tempting, with that old familiar sulfur smell.

    With the second arrival, Circe had decided to say cazzo to caution. "Uh...one of you is from here? Right?"

    Behind the glasses, Ingrid's eyes blink. Her head swivels, first one way and then the other. Lips part slightly; flash of claret muscle over her stained lips. One hand rises and her fingers coil around her sunglasses, drawing them artfully down over her nose.

    "Looks like this was the right place then. Which is good. Story was, there was a hotel. Then the hotel got ashed or something. Then there was a boarding house - like that wasn't too obvious, but hey, stories. Guess I got lucky and found that flyer."

    Ingrid's voice grated with a dry rasp. However she may appear, her good looks did not include her voice. It wheezed, cracked, straining to be heard. A voice that would be much happier delivering a delicious whisper in the dark.

    "Its Ingrid. Thank you for asking," she continued as she fumbled with her hat and her sunglasses. Her other hand struck a pose with her long cigarette cupped between fingers. The Darkling leaned to one side for a better view of the rain scattered in Mhairi's wake.

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Treasured Nix

    Sera had been walking around the park, taking in what was there, and what her Court could use. A few ideas popped into her mind, but she wasn’t sure yet.

    This would be a lot easier if Lucian hadn’t gotten up and left. She worked better having someone to bounce ideas off.

    She was fairly casual tonight in slim fitted jeans with a white tank top, over which she wore a leather coat. Knee high boots were on her feet and her long hair had been left down.

    As she came upon the Ferris wheel, she was surprised to see some new Lost. Mhairi was familiar, but the other two? Nope, hadn’t seen them yet.

    So the Nix makes her way over, a hand held up in a silent greeting until she got closer.

    Sapphire eyes take in the new faces as she gets within speaking distance,

    “Hey Mhairi, looks like you’ve found some new faces.” Greets the angelic voice with a grin, “Hi! I’m Seraphina, but just call me Sera.” Both were lookers in their own way, one more ethereal while the other had a more exotic look to her.

    "Yes." Mhairi says plainly, even as her brow furrows at 'freaks', she really didn't like that. "I'm from here. Well not really, but I live here." the wisp answers

    Mhairi offers up a wave, the quicksilver coating her fingers flies off in the direction of the motion, burning up into nothing before it flies to far.

    "There was a hotel. It did get burned. By a Dragon. Don't worry. He's dead now. And there still is a Boarding House. I run it. It's just for us. So if you need a place to crash, feel free. I accept chores in lieu of cash. I know how hard it is. But we've moved....uh. Obviously. It's mostly because before we were just...scattered, there was no sense of community and that sucked. So we're tying to get this place up and running." fell-flames flicker, looking at the park and it's rides. "...it's going to be a while."

    The wonderfully distinct sound of boot heels herald Sera's arrival.

    "Hi Sera." Her dew scented blossoms, meld with the heady plums. Easily overpowering the slight hint of the Elf's Summer Mantle. "And like she said. I'm Mhairi. Mhairi Ankaa."

    Her being Autumn's Queen and the 'hold's High Queen...er Activities Directer could be for later. When they were sure these two weren't malicious.

    "She's Ingrid, that's Sera, and I'm Mhairi...and what's your name?"

    Sasha

    The Fairest had emerged after the last people left the park. She really did need to find some assistance sooner or later. Clearly there was no way she was giving up her job as an instructor, but Sasha had already cut back her hours more than she wanted to. She adored the Blue Note and wasn't likely to sell it for a while.

    Winter had claimed a house of mirrors for themselves. Although she was only a court of one right now, a Winter would understand why she'd chosen it. If anyone asked, she'd be likely to explain. The exterior was simple for now, until she had a few more funds to develop something further. The interior was more detailed than the exterior, it was relatively boring in her opinion. She'd have to come up with something different very soon.

    The Onyx Queen had left the Maze of Mirrors to join the rest who'd gathered, with some new faces. The Fairest only had on a blouse and jeans, which was very casual for her. Her Mantle swept in like a cool breeze.

    With a spring in her step, she met up with the ladies gathering. "Hello all." She said with a spirited note to her voice. Looking at Mhairi and Sera, her next glance was to the Darkling and the other new woman.

    "Hi there, I'm Sasha." The Onyx's tone very friendly.

    A fourth beauty arrived to join them. Was this entire Freehold made of Fairest? Circe snorted in amusement, figuring the place would get loud real quick if it was all Fairest. Her expression had been neutral the whole time until she heard Ingrid talk. That made her smile, flaws were a good thing to have.


    "Right, names, Ca, erm, Circe. My name is Circe," she wasn't going to backslide now. The last thing the Rogues agreed upon before they split was her new name. Not back sliding now.


    She nodded, "Glad this is the right place." Then pointed at Mhairi with a happy grin. The joy even making its way into her Italian accent, "Ah, so you're the gal Artemis talked about! You've got my thanks for looking out for him then Mhairi." Circe gave the woman a thumbs up, "Anyone that helps a fellow Rogue is bene in my books."


    She walked over to the railing near Ingrid, leaning against if for support. She inhaled the sulfur scent, kind of like her old workshop she'd left. She laughed as she leaned back, tilting her head to look at Ingrid, "I didn't find nothin'," Circe shrugged, "I just figured you looked like someone that knew where they were goin'. A theme park though, that's first I heard of a hold being like this."


    Circe tilted her haid again to look over at Mhairi, "And hey, I ain't gonna complain about a pro-community Freehold. Idiots can bitch about the kumbaya stuff, but its better then being like San Fran."


    This place was turning out better and better. Now she was wondering if Artemis and Eris had decided to let her set up shop here as a way of looking out for her. Circe smiled. They would. And holy shit, another beauty shows up! "Huh, you know? If any guys show up at this point their brains might not work. Sup Sasha, I'm Circe." a lazy wave hello was offered to the Winter queen.

    Another day at the office. As entertaining (and well-paying) keeping tabs on the Hall's payroll could be, it was also quite draining. The atmosphere of the city was much lighter, however, ever since the Dragon died and the Freehold had found its newest toy: the Funderland, a potential cource of income, Glamour and a meeting place all at once. It had potential, even if it could only be unlocked by an ocean of dollars and months worth of paperwork to get some of the attractions up and running.

    The Summer Court didn't pick one for themselves yet, he'd have to ask Charles about it soon.

    Pulling over not far from the front gate and using his spare key to open it and get inside, he wandered the alleys between the rides, dressed in a black polo shirt and some casual jeans. He needed some fresh air, and it seems he wasn't the only one, as he's heard five female voices by the ferris wheel. Some, he did recognize. Some, he didn't.

    In the deep shadows he could only make out faces at a close distance. "Sera, Sasha, Mhairi, hello there! How're you this evening?"

    Then, turning to the two women he didn't recognize:

    "You've just arrived to Sacramento, I take it? My name is Alexander, Alexander Brown, but Alex works just as well. How do you wish to be called?"
