Relax and Recharge 2: Extreme Relaxation, Tuesday Period Two

[doubleohblonde]

Once more Bond's class was meeting in the Danger Shop. Once within, they stood by a set of turnstiles, overgrown with vines.

"Good morning," Bond greeted them cheerfully. "Today we'll be looking at the practice of urban exploration, which as you might guess from the name involves finding various abandoned structures within urban areas and exploring them. It's not as immediately exciting as some of your previous weeks' options, but it has its own set of thrills, both from the at best quasi-legal nature of the act, as well as various structural dangers and environmental health risks that can arise in locations such these."

"Now, we're going to exploring something a touch out of the ordinary, even for this hobby, an abandoned German amusement park." Because going to an abandoned amusement park was totally a fun teenager activity, and likely to lead to lingering psychological trauma for any of the class.

Staring at the turnstiles, Ringo looked positively stricken. She'd been to amusement parks before back home, and one thing that had always struck her was that they were practically playgrounds for AirTrek. And here she was at an abandoned one, and her ATs were back in her room.

It wasn't fair!

¨This place is so sad,"Daphne murmured to the girl she hoped she was making friends with each week.

"Daphne!" Ringo responded with an excited grin. Then her expression softened slightly as she thought about that. "Sad?" she asked looking around. She hadn't thought of it that way. "How so?"

¨Amusement parks should be filled with noise and laughter and the smell of food that isn't healthy for you.¨

This place reminded her of one of Mystery Inc.'s cases.

"Well, I suppose that's true," Ringo mused. "But, well, doesn't it seem like it's still full of possibilities?" she asked, looking around again. "It's kind of like a giant playground that we have all to ourselves!"

Daphne looked around and then a small smile spread across her face. ¨Well, when you put it that way, you do make a good point.¨

"I mean, it is kind of sad that there's no ice cream around," Ringo admitted. She stepped over a couple of feet and hopped up onto a waist-high railing, pirouetting on one foot, arms spread wide as she took in the park. Having preternatural balance was pretty useful sometimes.

"But just imagine all the fun we could have here!"
