FERRIS WHEEL

[jigoku_mods]

The Ferris Wheelt looms over the other structures, carrying it's passengers high up and above the treeline. Funny, you can see the stars just fine...but the canyon walls around the grounds seem shrouded in fog the higher up, eliminating a chance of seeing any way of escape. While gentle, now and then the Ferris Wheel will stop dead while ghostly clowns tinker around with fixing it far below. They might look worried, shaking their heads and comically waving their arms frantically...only to grin and leer up at you, giving you the A-OK sign.

You should be safe, though, right?

FERRIS WHEEL (Open!)

[fluttersky]

Her head was constantly being turned, seeing this, hearing that. And always on the lookout for the missing exorcist. With each passing day, the expectation, the hope of finding Kanda grew less and less. The chances that he'd been returned to the Order were good, something that she constantly reminded herself. But she didn't know that for sure. And at the very least, she just missed him.

She did still have Allen to keep her company, and Daisya as well. The latter was especially unexpected, given that he was...well, dead. Good things could happen her, however accidental they might be. Maybe it was possible that the carnival was one such thing.

She'd worn her mask, but pushed it up on her head now for an unobstructed view of the ferris wheel. It looked fun, and she of all people had no fear of heights. If she got in trouble, she'd have no problems getting down. Lenalee smiled to herself and hurried over to claim one of the swinging seats.

[Open] Hi! :3

After quite a few days of self-convicted exile, Gokudera felt strange in a crowd of people. He skirted at the edges of the carnival grounds, looking for familiar faces and wondering if there was anything to be learned from this.. twisted reflection of a carnival. He wasn't sure what he wanted in the first place, not quite ready to face the ones he had tried to kill while being possessed, but still wanting to see them, if from afar. As for information-- what sort of useful information could a god damn carnival offer him

[Open] Hiya!

[fluttersky]

Lenalee eyed the clowns with mixed emotions. They, and the carnival itself, reminded her of Allen. But something about them also reminded her of akuma. They weren't natural, but so far they seemed harmless. And that's where the connection with akuma was severed. The exorcist slipped into the seat and held onto the bar in front of her until it stopped rocking. It was then that she heard someone call out to her

[Open] <3

[fedele_tempesta]

"Oh, it's you..." Gokudera paused again, staring at the girl who had managed to catch his attention quite a few times through the network. She seemed kind and sweet, strong and fragile at the same time. And she was cuter off screen

[Open] <33

[fluttersky]

"So why do you do it?" Smoke. Lenalee tilted her head with the question, her attention turned towards him for the moment. It was hard to keep her eyes from the view though. It was even harder to keep herself from commenting that if something did happen, she wouldn't let him fall. For some reason, some boys didn't like it when a girl promised to protect them. Lenalee couldn't say for sure that Gokudera was such a boy...but why endanger a new friendship? The best plan seemed to be to continue talking normally

[Open] <333

[fedele_tempesta]

"Habit," he muttered. Not quite just a habit but he wouldn't be admitting aloud to her that he kept one smoking also because he used it to light the explosives he carried with him all times. If he'd feel like giving into a bout of vandalism, flame was right there waiting for him. So convenient

[Open] you cannot outlove me! <3333333

[fluttersky]

Lenalee was alarmed when he cried out and reached for her. But then she heard his reasons for it and couldn't resist a faint smile. She tried to make it as sheepish as possible. "You're right. I'm sorry, I forgot where I was for a second." She nodded her agreement to his last words, which made her think more and more that he wasn't comfortable on the ride.

"Tell me about your world, Gokudera." Maybe she could distract him until they were moving again. She could hear the sounds of repair from below, clanks and metallic sounds that weren't exactly comforting either. "What do you do there? And some of your friends are here too, right? What are they like?" Lenalee leaned back in the car again, but was careful to stay as still as possible. "Do you have parents? Siblings?" He might be annoyed by how many questions she was asking, but she found that she was genuinely curious as well.

Eyes abnormally wide even for him, L dragged Light not only up the ramp leading toward the Ferris Wheel, but plopped the two of them into the seat which hung waiting for passengers, his clever fingers slipping on the belt and slamming down the bar to his satisfaction.

It was locked, and even as the detective made that determination, the machine lurched, carrying them up a level.

The car rocked with the motion of L's instinctive pulling of his heels onto the seat beneath him. He leaned forward to watch the people and spirits dwindle on the ground. His voice calm and low, he addressed Light as if in confidence, "This is the first time I've ridden one of these."

Re: FERRIS WHEEL

[hyper_vigilant]

"Light-kun."

L ceased speaking, staring into the blackened horizon, the subtle, barely-there glimpse of cerise lost on the detective. Who had Light seen in the floating outside the window last week? More importantly, had the phantoms already passed, or were they merely illusions? If they were, indeed, actual spirits of the dead, then Naomi and Watari were gone.

Tilting his head, L eyed his suspect. "Have you ridden before?"

Re: FERRIS WHEEL

[hyper_vigilant]

After murmuring an agreeable acknowledgment, an idea that the two of them had even more in common than mere childishness, strong wills as well as ideals, dropped into the soil of L's fertile mind, shooting neurons like roots. A few seconds passed and the detective's new insight into his companion ripened into fruition.

If he'd had the misfortune to be raised outside the Wammy House, to what length would he have gone to relieve his boredom?

With a sincerity unnatural for someone so steeped in the culture of deception, L asked curiously. "Why has it been so long? Don't you like carnivals?"

Re: FERRIS WHEEL

[hyper_vigilant]

Casting his gaze down onto the crowd below, L speculated as he did so often, on Light's behavior. His thumb indented the soft flesh of his lower lip. Mmm. Was he truly bored?

No.

Light feigned his disinterest. With every interaction between them, it became clearer that only he, L, drew any true emotional response from the youth. In his genuine curiosity in Light as a person rather than merely a suspect, L was redefining their relationship. Light's withdrawal was a normal enough response.

The last thing L wished to do was court death, yet neither would he deny his interest. Tilting his head, L took the sight of the other in, viewing him solely as another person. "Is there anything in life that you like, Light-kun?"
