Megas exciting theme park fun!

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

*So there's this girl, see. And she's obviously human, aside from that fang, and that REALLY long green hair. And there's a theme park around, which she megas has to check out, because holy moley, what fun! She's definitely getting into it too, with a silly souvenir hat, and some cotton candy, and all sorts of theme park happiness.

Now maybe you've been looking at all this theme park stuff dubiously. After all, it just sort of appeared, right? But that's not gonna stand.*

Hey, I betcha that's more fun to ride than it is to watch -- but I'm not you, am I? Wanna go on it with me?

Oh my, a gentleman! Well, if you insist!

*She enters and settles herself down nicely.*

Looks like it's one 'a those ones that don't let you mess with th' car too much. Well, that's fine too.

[normal-anomaly.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's fine with me.

Less chance of something going wrong this way.

[And he sits down on the opposite side of the car.]

I don't imagine it'll take us too long to really get moving.

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Probably not. Fine with me. I can't wait to see how this place looks from up top.

Y'know, I was thinking. It's kinda scary sometimes, not remembering stuff and all. I gotta admit that. But right now, it's kinda nice 'cause it makes all of this feel like it's my first time, you know what I mean?

[normal-anomaly.livejournal.com]

The thrill of new experiences?

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Exactly! That's why I kinda see all this as a bit of a blessing in disguise. Everything's all new and shiny. I mean, we'll find our memories eventually if what they're sayin' and all is true, but for now I'm just enjoying the sensations.

*The wheel shifts.*

Ah, it's moving!

[normal-anomaly.livejournal.com]

[Steadying himself...]

Uh, yep.

Sure is moving up in here.

I wouldn't call it a blessing in disguise, myself. More like a silver lining.

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

That's a good term for it too, I suppose. Still, I can't wait t' start remembering some stuff again. I'd like to know my parents, for a start.

[normal-anomaly.livejournal.com]

I'd just like to remember something. I'd even welcome a bad memory.

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

I know whatchya mean. A bad memory's just as much a part of ya as a good one. Guess we just gotta trust 'em when they say we can get 'em back. It'll be really exciting! I think I'll celebrate when I get my first memory back! Wanna join in?

[normal-anomaly.livejournal.com]

What kind of celebrating?

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Oh, just a lil' something. Maybe I'll go out to eat if I gots th' money. Maybe I'll make something nice for myself. I'll find a way. It's the little things sometimes.

[normal-anomaly.livejournal.com]

What are you planning to do for money, anyway?

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Well, there's th' stipend and all, but I bet I could find some side work. Think a gal like me could wait tables? I bet I could do it with th' best of them! Haha!

Ohhh, we're so high up! Look at it all!

[normal-anomaly.livejournal.com]

[Kyon looks out over the park.]

Whoa! It's a lot bigger than I thought it was.

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Wow, yeah! I bet you couldn't even begin t' see this all in a day. This is gonna be swell!

[normal-anomaly.livejournal.com]

You'd think they'd give us a map to keep from getting lost instead of just signs. I'm not sure I could navigate this place even WITH those signs!

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Maybe they do that on purpose! You get lost, and you're all, "Hey, I don't know where I am, but ooh that ride looks neat, and hey, I think I want a churro or something." That's marketing!

[normal-anomaly.livejournal.com]

...How very devious. Then again, I shouldn't expect better from people in the tourism industry.

But then what happens when they get lost and they've tried all the rides around?

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Well, then while yer tryin' to find your way out, you run into the souvenir shops, and you think, "Man, I'd sure like to take a bit of this park away with me," or "I should get a gift for my friends," and before you know it, you gots mugs and stuff. Genius!

[normal-anomaly.livejournal.com]

Just where are you getting all of this?

You're starting to sound a little TOO versed in the shady mechanics of tourism.

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Who knows? Maybes I was a teenage business guru back home! Hahahaha!

[normal-anomaly.livejournal.com]

I'll believe it when I see it.

Looks like we've hit the descent.

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Yeah, seems like it. Still, it was nice seein' the layout and all, huh? Boy, those carnies must move megas fast.

[normal-anomaly.livejournal.com]

They'd have to, to raise an entire theme park in an instant.

So what do you want to do when we get off?

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Hmm... well, you wanna do something fast and crazy? We could always get somethin' to eat too. They got lotsa snacks around here, even if they charge an arm and a leg for 'em.
