Relax and Recharge 2: Extreme Relaxation, Tuesday Period Two

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.

Abandoned.

Okay, this sounds like a totally normal class.

Inside the park were various abandoned rides, like swan boats, or a ferris wheel, a viking ship, and numerous fibreglass dinosaurs, all covered in a thick blanket of weeds.

...um did that fibreglass dinosaur turn its head to look at you?

It did. And all its friends are starting to move as well. Looks like you better figure out what to do, and quick.

At least it's not zombies?

Possibly about his choice of class locations. Because abandoned amusement park. Seriously.

At least there aren't any clowns, either?

Ringo Noyamano

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!

Nathan Byrn

Even though this place was slightly strange, Nathan found it relaxing. It was quiet and still. It had a history to it that made Nathan curious. He walked around the rides, stopping and staring every so often.

Ringo was enjoying the park, too, though not in quite the same way Nathan was. She was running around, jumping on things, and generally trying to explore places you probably weren't supposed to go. Well, weren't supposed to go even more than just into the abandoned park at all.

Which is how she ended up on the roof of one of the park buildings when her foot hit a rotten bit of wood and went sliding away. "Whoops!" she called out as she tumbled off the edge, managing to turn her fall into a controlled flip and landing just before a small rain of debris slid off after her.

When she looked up and spotted Nathan, her eyes widened in surprise. "Oh, sorry! I hope none of that hit you!"

Kathy Li

Kathy was looking around, practically counting all the things she could climb up. Like the Ferris wheel. And the roller coaster. And the everything!

Yeah, the first thing Kathy did was climb all the way up to the top of the Ferris wheel, and balance on one of the swinging lifts to shout, "I'm queen of the woooorld!"

Look, sometimes you just had to, okay? Though it probably would have been more fitting on the viking ship.

Being up that high meant that she had a great view of the park. Which included a great view of the dinosaurs lumbering to life.

Kathy bounced down from the top of the Ferris wheel as quickly as she could, calling out a warning to her classmates about the dinosaurs. Not that it seemed to be needed--the dinosaurs were a little obvious.

The debris had fallen down well away from him but Nathan had glanced up anyway. He shook his head.

"No, you're fine," he called up. "I'm fine too. No harm done."

"Oh, good," Ringo exclaimed with a relieved grin.

"It's one thing to accidentally drop a bunch of debris on a friend, but with someone you don't really know I'm pretty sure it counts as rude."

"It's fine," he said again, shaking his head. "Even if you'd hit me, I'd be fine. It's not that big a deal. Thanks for the lookout anyway."

"I'm Ringo, by the way," she offered, brushing some dirt off of her pants and then walking closer. It was worth introducing herself in case it was rude to almost land on someone (well, for some values of 'almost') and not even tell them your name.

"Nathan," he said, waving up at her. "Nice meet you."

He wasn't great with social interaction. He probably never would be.

"Enjoying the park?"

"So far!" Ringo nodded. "It's pretty sweet, isn't it?" She looked around with a grin. "All this interesting stuff to explore. I just wish I had my ATs with me. This place is practically a playground."

She glanced over at Nathan. "What about you?" She asked because he didn't seem quite as, um, enthusiastic as Ringo was. Which, to be fair, would take some doing.

"I like it well enough," Nathan said, looking around. "It's quiet and calm. It's good to walk through and picture what might have been going on in the past with some of these things. It's interesting."

Ringo tilted her head to one side, considering that. "You know, I hadn't thought of it that way, but you're right." She looked around again. "Anything standing out to you?"

"Not really," he answered honestly. "Everything's interesting in its own way and I don't have a lot of imagination. It's just nice to look forward. I like the stillness."

"I guess I can understand that," Ringo chuckled.

Then stilled, blinking as a thought struck her. "And, um, I'm interrupting that stillness, aren't I?" Whoops!
