Reno looked maybe a bit puzzled as he waited for students to file into the Danger Shop today.

You know. A tiny bit.

"So, we were supposed to go to Disneyland today. There was this whole thing with squeaky hammers we were gonna do, and it would've been awesome. But then I got to thinking that maybe an amusement park would be in shitty taste after, you know, what went on this weekend."

Which he'd managed to totally miss, and he was going to be sour about that forever, yes.

"But, and it figures this is gonna happen on the last class I have with you guys, the Danger Shop's bein' a bit of a shit. It's stuck on some kind of bumper car sim. And then I tried to load up one of the enemies I had planned for you, and... well..."

He hit a few buttons, and the bumper car arena shimmered into view. Frozen in place all around them were various monsters (and a few drunken bar patrons) that they'd already gone up against over the course of the semester. Gnomes, sahagins, coeurls, one big plush dragon who was carrying a bumper car away in its talons, looking like it would probably be back for more.

"Look, I don't even friggin' know. I don't have time to reprogram it now, so you might as well just... Whatever?"

Hop in a bumper car and mow over some monsters-of-the-week?

Meh, not Reno's problem.

Bumper Monsters? C'mon now.

You guys missed out on Disneyland for this.

Because Reno didn't want to exacerbate your trauma. So... you're welcome?

Look, you get bumper cars in a big ol' bumper car arena, and you get gnomes, and twitchy fish men with spears, and giant tentacle cats, and drunken bar brawlers, and one giant plush dragon to contend with.

WHAT MORE COULD ANYONE WANT?

~~Besides Disneyland.~~

Who have been great this summer!

Who can usually get the Danger Shop to behave itself better than... you know... this?

I don't even know, okay? I DON'T EVEN KNOW.

Celia Bowen

Minako Aino

Alana

Kathy Li

Four

Kathy didn't actually go near the bumper cars. They were still closer to carnival activities than she liked, thanks.

Was she looking a little regretful that she didn't get to wail on anything proper today in class? Yeah, kinda. Hitting things would have been therapeutic.

Four had no idea what Disneyland was, so he didn't really feel like he was missing out on much.

And this looked kind of fun...

Four went straight for the drunk bar patrons.

Stick with your strengths, right?

Karina Lyle

Karina had spent the last few days... uh, being unavailable, yeah, so this was the first time she'd seen Kathy since...

... Killing her?

God, that sounded terrible even in her head.

Still, even though it was just about the last thing she wanted to do, Karina wandered over to Kathy.

"Hey," she said.

Kaylin Neya

Well, it wasn't flying, but it was fun!

Kaylin was here and quite pleased.

"Hey, Karina," Kathy said, giving the other girl a small smile. She hadn't connected Karina to the ice princess that had finished her off, so her lack of real smile was purely due to the remains of the weekend and not her specifically. "How're you?"

Karina gave that question a doubtful pause.

Then gave Kathy one, just for good measure.

"I'm... about as good as I can be," she said carefully. Was Kathy just really great at repressing? Or did she not know? Because Karina still wanted to, uh, punch Evan's face in for murdering her in one reality and that weekend had happened ages ago.

... Perhaps that said more about Karina than it did Kathy, come to think of it.

"How're you? Are you okay?"

Kathy's eyes dropped down to her hands. "I'm doing better," she said, not very convincingly. "I've spent a week ignoring the radio and stuff, just so I don't have to think about it. But that's the dumbest way of dealing with things."

Jalian d'Arsennette y ken Selvren

Jalian was with Four, if she'd known it - what was Disneyland? Plus she'd only been at the carnival long enough to hug someone, so whatever. Driving was always fun, though!

Jalian was just going to drive. As fast as the cars went, and hit as much as she could.

... Kathy hadn't heard radio? Yes!

Wait, no. Karina wrestled with herself over that revelation. It was deeply appealing to let Kathy just not think about it, but since she was already admitting it was stupid way of coping meant that she might wind up listening to radio.

And find out that Karina hadn't bothered to say anything. That would be a terrible PR move.

And her silence was probably already suspicious, since it had gone on too long.

"I'm sure there's worse ways of coping," she offered belatedly. "Like drinking." A beat. "Unless you've been doing that too."

Kira Yukimura

Kira was driving a little more wildly than was probably necessary, but she had a lot of strong feelings to get out.

Eleanor Lamb

Okay, this was cathartic. Eleanor might have sped up for some of the big ones, just to make them really hit hard.
