[ It’s been a long time since he has been to any sort of theme park, and it fills him with the same sort of excitement as it had when his parents had taken him to Six Flags a few years before things went sour. Even though it’s devoid of people save for the fleet members that happen to be milling about, and rides that seem to be self-running, it’s still cool as hell. He’s wandering around on his own today, wondering where he should even start with the park when he runs into Takeshi, who is equally alone. ]

Hey, Takeshi. Been on any of the rides yet?

[throwsdown]

Oh, hi, Carl!

[He waves, content to get new company.]

I haven't been on anything yet; I'm kinda nervous... but they all look cool!

[The kid who flies in space ships and fights cannibals is nervous about rides.

Go figure.]

[postocular]

I remember feeling like that the first time I saw rides like this. It was kind of scary until I got on, then that's all I wanted to do.

[ He nods his head in the direction of a few of the entrances. ]

I'll ride with you. Pick one to start with.

[throwsdown]

[Oh man, this is a difficult choice. There's so many, and they all look so different... The really, really tall ones are admittedly a little intimidating... but—!!]

How about the big swinging boat? That's pretty cool...! I've never been on a real boat before.

[postocular]

That's a good one to start with, c'mon. With these, it's more fun to sit at the very end if you can.

[ He waits for Takeshi to join him before moving toward the ride. ]

[throwsdown]

[Oh, he's joinin', he's leaping into action! Though as fast as he was to jump onto the ride, he also looks a little skittish, hands in his lap and eyes wide as he scans the ride. Is it just gonna... start once they're in it...?]

Have you - ridden this kinda ride before?

[postocular]

[ Carl pulls down the lap bar once they're settled, taking off his hat so it doesn't blow away. ]

A few times before, yeah. Normally there's someone who starts and stops it, but these seem to go on their own.

[throwsdown]

... I hope they're not meaAAN—

[That's the sound of Takeshi's voice flying off in the wind as they start moving rather quickly.

The kid who has fought giant monsters and evil spaceships grabs Carl's arm with some panic.]

Whoa!!

[postocular]

[ Carl lets out a surprised yell, but it turns into a laugh as the ride gets going. It's been a long time, so he forgot what it was like. The adrenaline rush is completely different than the ones he gets at home, and really, it's liberating. He's damn well going to be a kid today. ]

It'll be okay, put your hands up!

[throwsdown]

[HIS HANDS ARE UP, HIS HANDS ARE UP

THIS IS A TRUST EXERCISE HE SWEARS TO GOD]

WOOOOOAHHHHHH!!!

Holy crap, how high does it go?!

[Here's to BEING KIDS!!]
