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?

...I do not. The situation is too alien for me to willingly believe the first people who find me. For all I know, this entire situation is a sham. You may be a sham.

But it's too tiring to be cautious to that extent.

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

It is, yeah. And megas unproductive. You let yourself worry too much and you'll get paralyzed by 'em. I'd rather leave the worrying for when there's something to worry about, and even then I'd rather just take care of it, you know?

Oh, we're nearly at the front now!

...

[Lawfer will let the matter drop for now in favor of escorting Tsuruya.]

As you were so eager to ride, perhaps you should choose the seats.

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Well, I'd wanna ride in front, but you're still a greenhorn to this sorta stuff so... Let's take the middle, huh?

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

My preferences are of no importance. The lady deserves as she desires.

[Lawfer blocks the way and motions for Tsuruya to step to the front.]

You are more green than I, in any case.

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahahahaha, I get it! Man, you're great!

*Still grinning like a madman, she gets up in the front car.*

Don't say I didn't warn ya, now!

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

[Lawfer looks startled for a moment before they are buckled in by the restraint.]

...I had thought you said torture was not involved. What I saw was... simply a manner of visual illusion, no?

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

No, really, it ain't torture! They're just makin' sure yer safe. It's a thrill ride, after all!

*Speaking of -- it seems like this is one of those ones that goes fast right off the bat. Wheeee!*

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

[Paranoia is justified this is totally a trick he knew it they're going to harvest his organs after he dies of shock Lawfer grunts as he slams back in his seat from the speed and frantically shakes the restraint.]

I am not thrilled.

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

*CAN'T TALK SCREAMING IN DELIGHT RIGHT NOW SIR WHEEEEEEE*

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

[Oh gods the poor girl was frightened out of her wits he didn't even have the heart to scream 'I told ye so!' After further banging and an occasional yell himself, Lawfer will submit himself to his fate and pat Tsuruya's shoulder reassuringly.

Very forward of him, but if they were going to die, it was all he could do for her now.]

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

*And then, finally, the ride ends! And...*

Hahahaha, that was GREAT! Man, they gots some megas awesome coasters here!

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

[Lawfer is white as a sheet and immediately falls to his knees upon staggering out.]

We... We are still alive...... Merciful gods... Truly, the enemy is cunning...

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Um... do you need to sit down?

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

Will the seat propel me through the air faster than man can truly imagine?

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Nah, just a normal bench seat.

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

That would be acceptable.

[Lawfer will cling to anything that's stably attached to the ground as he goes. Good gods, how was it even possible to travel that fast? Surely something had been dmamaged...]

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

*She helps him over to a bench.*

I did try t' warn ya. I'm sorry about that. Maybe we oughta stick with th' less crazys rides.

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

[He'll twitch a little as he crawls onto the bench, hanging over the back and suppressing the urge to retch.]

The plan is made clear. To wear us down with such machinations 'til the release of death is sought... Fiendish.

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

*sigh* You seem megas cynical about everything. You musta gones through some real nasty stuff wherever you came from.

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

H-How is it cynical when I have been subjected to forces the likes of which even Niflheim could not imagine?

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

It just seems like you always feel like somethin' bad's behind all of it. Roller coasters are supposed t' be fun, though! Not everybody likes 'em, but they ain't tryin' to hurt people or anything. You see anybody else look tortured gettin' off the ride?

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

When I have been abducted, magicked away to an unfamiliar land, relieved of my memories, and planted in a city where words like 'roller coaster' and 'cotton candy' describe concepts beyond the limits of my imagination, I will rightly take as much caution as I care to. It's very well for you and the others who derive some comfort from this... 'theme park', but I have not survived to my age by tossing my cares to the side and skipping about in search of fun.

You are welcome to do so; perhaps your culture encouraged such behavior. But do not chastise me for my concerns.

*She sighs a bit. She understands, of course, even if she doesn't share the same philosophy by temperament. Still, she never likes seeing people looking blatantly miserable.*

Sorry. Didn't mean t' criticize yas. You just look so unhappy, is all.

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

...

[Lawfer responds softly.]

I am.

...No, I must apologize in return. It is improper for an man - an adult - to burden a child with such worries. Childhood is for... 'fun'. I... simply cannot help myself.
