ϡ - Chapter TwentySix; And now for something not so different [voice/action]

[folkloristic]

[ There's a loud splash as someone gets dropped off by the droids...in the river by House 35. The figure that steps out from the embankment is not a familiar face. Most people might not recognize him or perhaps you saw him like this once before. But that's neither here, nor there. Yes, her. The voice over the transmission is completely feminine and

[Giles is nearby enough to hear the splash of someone being cruelly deposited in the river. Seeing as how he's on hyperalert for Helios or Buffy, this is his cue to spring into action.

So, as the droids are just tromping away over the horizon, he stumbles to a stop on the edge of the river, looking around wildly.]

Hello? Is someone there? Buffy?

((ooc: Soooo the next time I suggest writing an entry for you, clearly the only reasonably course of action is to virtually smack me *cries*. So glad you went with her, though, I was so bummed that I couldn't participate last time around!

Set during evening patrol?))

*submits you to Kingdom Hearts*

[consultmybooks]

I'm not an expert on amusement parks, but there certainly are plenty of amenities. Rides, magic performances, games, sights to see, impossibly sweet food.

Wet clothes aside? I'm glad to hear it. I'm afraid you just missed All Passions closing, though - do you, um, do you think your things back at the apartment will still fit.

yesss!

[magicboobs]

It's sounds wonderful! I must go and see it for myself. It's not gone yet at least. Any case you can never go wrong with sweet foods. Although the droids in and of themselves might be the best reason to go.

All Passions? Ah that's the custom clothing store isn't it? That's unfortunate. I'll have to settle for the general shop then. N-Not that my fashion sense is all that fickle. [ Just a light laugh. He's been accused of having a poor one many a time! Just bringing a finger to pursed lips. He'll hold up both arms, slightly baggy, but...yeah no they really don't fit at all. ]

Ah...I might have to pick up a few things.

*Keyblades you*

[consultmybooks]

There's the issue, I'm afraid. No one knows how long it's going to be there. It has been a few days, and according to Catherine this is supposed to take the place of this month's experiment. But beyond that, I haven't the foggiest. You might ask some of the villager's who were here the last time it appeared, though.

[...okay, Giles' fashion sense is probably worse than yours', Helios, but...yeah, that doesn't work. Even dry.]

If we hurry, we should be able to get to the store before it closes up for the night, then.

;w;

[magicboobs]

Not a bad idea. I'll have to ask around then, even after it leaves. I'm not sure I believe it, but, expect the unexpected is the coined term for this place. The Malnosso are certainly strange sometimes.

[ He gives a small nod and a slight smile. ] Even just one thing will work for now. I'll have to stop by tomorrow anyway. [ And he'll just start walking towards the bridge before looking over back at Giles. ]

You'll have to fill me in on all the best attractions, so I can get everything in before it up and leaves. [ There's a slight tone of excitement in there. Such a child sometimes. ]

*victory music*

[consultmybooks]

[Giles will hurry after him. Buffy is still missing and he's trying not to focus on the fact that Helios is a girl but, hey, life has suddenly taken a turn for the better.]

My ability to do that depends on what sorts of rides you enjoy. I would happily recommend the haunted house, though.

/GIVES NO EXP bwahahaha!

[magicboobs]

[ Helios will slow his pace so Giles can keep up. It's not that he's in a hurry for clothes. More like he doesn't want to run into anyone else right now. ]

All sorts, Giles! All sorts. I am particular open to most things. [ His eyes light up at that and there might be a grin on his features. ] Oh? There's a haunted house too? Those always do remind me of the castle during Halloween.

[ He just laughs to himself, his expression completely mischievous. A man who knows all sorts of folklores and ghost stories decorating a castle. The possibilities are endless. ]

...what about treasure?

[consultmybooks]

Yes, there certainly is, although it...isn't what you might call a typical haunted house. Far more..."sparkling" than I would generally assign to the average haunted house. But, um, there are a few roller coasters. Water rides. A carousel. Something called laser tag. Bowling with mouse-shaped bombs. Everyone has made relatively certain that I try nearly everything.

none! You have been cut off.

[magicboobs]

Sounds like they kept you busy. Good. I guess I had no need to be worried then. [ Helios stops before looking at Giles. Slight confused mostly intrigued. ] Did you say mouse-shaped bombs?

Curse yoooouuuuu!

[consultmybooks]

Yes, I did. [He looks back at Helios, mostly confused, and this is after he's played the game.] Link called it...what was it? "Bombchu". Something from his world. That seems to be the order of the park, really - things from other people's worlds.

Including, if I may add, tea.

kekeke

[magicboobs]

Bombchu... [ It sounds amusing. At least as long as the bombs are contained and no one can get hurt. ] Fascinating. Like an interactive exposition.

[ Oh man this just keeps getting better and better. ] Most certainly have to stop by now. Tea and sweets? It almost sounds too good to be true.

Re: kekeke

[consultmybooks]

With chickens. [Well. There might have been some singing. But nothing that couldn't be recovered from.]

We can be over first thing in the morning. It's not as though its hard to miss, after all, and it doesn't take long to walk over.

[magicboobs]

Chickens? [ Helios still looks, yep, confused. He doesn't even know. But that claim? That gets an enthused smile. Being female bodied will not prevent him from going to this, never. ]

Wonderful! First thing in the morning then! It's been a long time since I've been to a carnival. [ And this is surely not going to disappoint. ]

[consultmybooks]

Yes, the same was true for me. Most of the villagers, I should think. But everyone seems to be enjoying themselves and, um, no one's been kidnapped since it appeared.

[That they've heard of.]

I've heard that there's apparently even a hotel, in case you don't want to go back and forth every day.

[magicboobs]

The droids must be too busy preforming for their guests. [ He sounds way too smug about that and the smirk on his features shows it, plain as day. ]

That's convenient of them to add. I must say sometimes they do things that makes me question my...opinions about them. Like this...but I suppose there's no sense in mulling over it. Might as well make a good time out of it.

[consultmybooks]

If it helps, the only one's who's opinions you should be revising are Catherine and Molly. Not only did they resolve the Battle Dome to be less, um, violent, but they're the ones who called the park up.
