Luceti Land!!

[lucetimods]

Who: luceti
What: Amusement Parking!
When: Today til the end of the month
Where: A veritable pleasure island, east of the Beach Fort.
Summary: An amusement park has popped up in Luceti. It's all over here.
Rating: F is for friends who do stuff together!

Just some notes here not in the mod post -
1) The weather will be bright and partly cloudy for the rest of the month on the beach side of things. A nice cool sea breeze will keep people from melting out there.
2) All the old Luceti Land rides are still available. However, feel free to make up your own attractions and rides as well.
3) Since this is around for two weeks, we may put up another mass log if this one gets too full. So keep an eye on that!
4) Don't forget to tag your character's name on to the log! If you don't have one yet, just let us know and we'll get you hooked up.

As way of explanation for all this, Bil will have written a message on the first page of the journals. It cannot be replied to, it simply states:

"My condolences for all the trouble. You were due for an experiment today, but I thought you might enjoy an amusement park instead. It seemed like the sort of thing the Great One would do."

[Good call, Giles. She hadn't noticed.]

Oh, hello, Giles. Are we going somewhere?

[consultmybooks]

We have to get off now, Grune. It's someone else's turn to ride.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, all right. [It's important to take turns.

She slips off the horse and take Giles' hand.] I wonder what we should do next.

[She thinks for a moment.] Have we played any of the throwing games yet?

[consultmybooks]

A few, but I know there was one just a few minutes away that we hadn't, yet. [He'll help her down the tricky step from carousel level to ground level.]

Do you want to go there next?

[lostinmyway]

Oh, yes, that sounds like fun.

[She's seriously having the time of her life right now.]

[consultmybooks]

Link showed me a game a little while ago that you might like - it's a sort of bowling. You're supposed to throw a bomb at a target without hitting the chickens or the metal bars or any number of a dozen other things they put in the way.

[lostinmyway]

That sounds like a fun game! Do you know where it is?

[Grune and Bombchus, Giles? Really?]

[consultmybooks]

[Because clearly this will go so well without Link's supervision. At least the booth is fireproof.]

I think I can find it from here. [Giles looks around before the top of the booth in question catches his eye several rows away.] Oh! There it is.

[He takes Grune's hand and starts leading her off. Quick! Get distracted!]

[lostinmyway]

[The booth may be fireproof, but they aren't.]

All right. Let's go!

[Happily holding his hand, Grune lets Giles guide them. And doesn't get distracted.]

[consultmybooks]

[Good thing those fire extinguishers aren't just for show?

Once they reach the booth, Giles hands over a token, and receives a bucket of ten Bombchus. He turns away with it to survey the course.

...there's his old friend, The Chicken.]

S-So. Um. You're supposed to set one of these down [he indicates the bucket] s-so it runs over to the target [he indicates the target] without hitting the chicken. [And, finally, he indicates the chicken.]

Here. [He passes her the bomb. Grune will have five seconds to set it down before Giles does it for her.]

[lostinmyway]

[Grune is far too preoccupied with the chicken to remember to set down the bomb.]

Oh, but I might hurt the chicken.

[consultmybooks]

[Four missisipi...]

It's all right. It's a very fire resistant sort of chicken.

Here. [Five missisipi. Giles just gently removes the bomb from Grune's hand and sets it down. It zooms merrily along the track, misses the chicken by a mile, and hits the target.

Up next is the blade trap. Another bombchu is passed over.]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, is it?

[Grune, let go of the bomb, please.]

[consultmybooks]

Yes, it is. [Giles will just. Try and guide Grune's hands so that she sets the bomb down. Four Mississippi...] It's all right.

[lostinmyway]

Hmm.... All right.

[And amazingly enough, she lets go of the Bombchu on her own. ...It misses even the obstacles by a mile, but at least she didn't let it blow up in her face?]

[consultmybooks]

Very well done, Grune. [He'd privately wondered whether or not she would let go of the bomb.

He takes up the next bomb and sets it down. It misses the chicken but, as is fast becoming typical, clips the blade trap and explodes without reaching the target.]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, that was very good. [Giles had meant to hit that trap, hadn't he?

Grune picks up another Bombchu and awaits an alarmingly long time before setting it down. It hits the blade trap dead center.]

[consultmybooks]

[Yep. Totally intentional.]

And so was that. [What? He'll encourage any kind of progress he can. Especially if it minimizes their chances of being blown up.] This time, try avoiding both traps. You want to hit the back wall.

[...just as Giles now does.

And here is his old nemesis, the Giant Chicken.]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, my. [She watches the giant chicken waddle back and forth for a few moments.] Is this chicken fire-resistant, too?

[consultmybooks]

This is the most fire resistant chicken I have ever seen, Grune.

[lostinmyway]

All right.

[She watches it for a little longer, then picks up a Bombchu.

Waits….

And lets go.

She actually manages to miss the chicken, but the depression it paces in sends the Bombchu careening off at a strange angle, and it climbs most of the way up the wall before it explodes.]

Hmmm.

[consultmybooks]

[Okay, that's...legitimately impressive. Giles claps a few times. After he's let out his breath in the expectation of fire.]

Very good, Grune. Even I couldn't get that far my first go.

[Five bombchu to go. Giles picks one up, sets it down, and it just misses the chicken by being clipped by the blade trap.]

[lostinmyway]

[Grune beams at his applause.] Oh, thank you! [And, after his shot:] You almost got it!

[She picks up another Bombchu, once again hangs onto it for far too long, and lets go.

…Well, now she knows for certain the first chicken is fire resistant.]

[consultmybooks]

[And isn't that the most important thing?

Giles' next Bombchu lends credence to the theory that the second chicken is also fire resistant.

Two to go.]

[lostinmyway]

[And Grune'S next Bombchu...somehow manages to end up on the ceiling.

It's all up to you, Giles!]
