[open] bootstrap disney hangout

[gundemn]

WHO: Elan and you!
WHAT: Bootstrap Disney hangout
WHERE: Abandoned fairground (not Disney)
WHEN: May
WARNINGS: N/A


[ Early May, a message is sent out to Outsiders inviting them to an amusement park experience without giant monsters (or corpses of them). At a much smaller fairground in the city's outskirts, Elan and Taryon have got a few rides hooked up and working, including rollercoasters, teacups, go-karts...honestly feel free to headcanon your own it's our castle now.

Most notable is the ferris wheel towering over the park. The view from the air is fantastic but the ride is not without its hitches and the power may cut out from time to time. Don't worry, your technicians are on it. Get comfortable inside and enjoy each other's company...

One half of the park remains out of order. A few rides are functional but rickety so if you are looking for a different kind of thrill by all means...Elan will tell you not to touch them if he sees you he will not be responsible for anyone's deaths!

Dinner's BYO(B) but he's brought a handful of fireworks for people to set off at night. Have at it!

OOC: Consider this an open mingle and feel free to post your own toplevels! You can reach me at ahlyo if you want to hash out anything. ]

i. welcome

[ Look, sometimes you want to experience an amusement park not from the cockpit of a mobile suit or in hazmat amongus cosplay because the constant reminder of death really kills the vibe. Elan feels cheated out of a theme park trip that's part of every normal teenage experience, hence involving Taryon and revitalizing an old fairground. Throughout the day he'll be sidling up to people to see if they're having fun, especially if they're by themselves or look like they need their arm wrung to try the rides. ]

How is it?

ii. fireworks

[ Before a pick of fireworks, he holds out a matchbox, grinning. ]

Want to do the honors?

[ Alternatively, watch out for one of the spinning fireworks whizzing across the ground your way. Accident or on purpose? With him, you never know. ]

iii. chilling

[ At the end of the day, join him for a bento box dinner and idle chatter inside an old park trailer, or in climbing on top of the trailer roof to watch the stars. Staring out at the half-lit park, Elan looks wistful for a moment. ]

It's probably nothing like the real thing, but beats being cooped up at base.

[ as much as he might want to... akechi is going to resist the carnival rides.

he's never really had a chance to... but, no. that's not important right now.

however; he can't resist the fireworks. he remembers setting them off as a kid, and... as foolish as it might be, he can't help but want to set some off now, too.

he readies a bottle rocket and lights it, backing away. ]

Back up. [ he'll request of anyone nearby. ]

[Of course, Raidou had never been to a place like this before their missions, and he could only imagine what sort of place this must have been in its heyday. For a guy from 1922, it all seems fantastical. What's even more amazing to him is that Elan and Taryon actually managed to get these old things up and running. It's remarkable that they'd be working at all, let alone some still be useble.

Strangely, the first thing that catches his eye is the carousel. That's one thing this place has in common with his time, and he's a little surprised to see how it looks like it could have been plucked right from the Capital and dropped here. He gives the ride a fond look, tracing a finger along one of the horses, a layer of dust coming with it as he does.]

Do they have these where you're from?

[Raidou didn't have a lot of time to cook for this party, but it's been fun diving into these things people have called hobbies that he certainly never had time for in his previous life. So he tries to make as much time for it as he can in his similarly busy life here.

That just means it's time for onigiri, something easy to transport and easy for everyone to eat on the go, as well. There are a few different varieties, at least. For dessert is also something simple but crowd-pleasing: chocolate chip cookies. These, however, are made with all dark chocolate, due to a past request by a certain someone.]

Please let me know if everything's okay. I apologize for the rush job.

[It's simple: Raidou taking him by the hand, a smile on his face as he nods towards the ferris wheel. He's never been on one before, and it'd a cool vantage spot for the fireworks display. Fancy a ride on the giant rusty maybe-deathtrap?]
