Sounds like a nice project. I'd like to see it in action some time.

[The rides begun boarding again by now and soon the pair of them are being ushered in. Mai's expression is apathetic as ever, at least to anyone not keen enough to pick up the faint traces of interest in her expression. If this was enough to make people lose their lunch then she trusted it had to be somewhat exciting.]

Right...

[That fuels Teddy more, and he starts to stand up on his own two legs, as weak and stiff as they felt. Once he's standing up straight, he keeps his head low, gaze on their hands rather than on Billy's face and, for once, he's unable to hide his troubled expression.

What's he seeing? Someone who flips out when his powers are switched off? Someone with an ugly bruise on his face? Someone who's too broad too short too weak too everything?

He's terrified to see what he sees.]

Is this some kind of carnival? [He tilts his head to glance to the side, catching sight of the rides in the distance, the smells, the people - shit, he has to look down again.] Or a park?

Hehe, no problem. [She reaches over to grab a handful of Kurt's popcorn, holding out the paper cone around which her cotton candy is spun in an offering.] Want some?

[As she munches on her pilfered snack, she looks around. Where to start? The rollercoasters, duh!]

I am definitely on board with that... How about the Shadow Dragon? I tried to get Storm to go on it earlier, but she did that grown-up thing where she suggested something else and tried to pretend it wasn't that she totally couldn't handle it, so I figured I'd wait and go on it with you instead.

I... don't know.

[He wishes he did- he wishes he had answers, reassurances to give to Teddy. He wishes he could just turn his powers back on and make everything the way it should be again.

But... even if his magic was back - and if he hadn't promised, and if he wasn't still sick with guilt from his accidental spell - he wouldn't... really want that.

It's the first time in weeks that he's felt like he can trust the emotions he sees on Teddy's face. He doesn't want to lose that again.]

What... a weird place to...

[And that's when he trails off, looking up, up for the first time, and seeing... endless black.

That's definitely not what the sky is supposed to look like.]

[Peony had been hoping that whomever the second bed was for was a beauty too, but the voice that called out from the door when it creaked open was definitely not. A disappoint, sure, but Peony was an easygoing guy. "If there wasn't a beautiful girl to flatter, there was a guy to befriend," as his inner motto went.

So, putting aside his disappointment, he stood up from the couch where he had been relaxing lazily near the back and turned to greet the new roommate.]

Yo. It's just me here. How you doing, roomie?

[The way Billy trails off makes Teddy hesitate, unsure if he even wants to see what he's looking at. He glances up anyway, sees that Billy's looking up, and that makes him raise his own head.]

What? What's...

[He trails off too when he looks up, and he ends up gaping a little as he stares at the sky. It's like absolute darkness, and yet everything on the ground is as clear as daylight. That's... definitely not how it's supposed to work, and definitely not what the sky is supposed to look like.

It looks familiar, too. Like...

Wait.]

Are we in space?

It... looks like space. ...Luceti space, I mean...

[It's a very different experience from the time they'd shared on the MSF space ship, that's for sure; much less of a serious atmosphere for everyone around them, for one. It was almost festive, which was all the more evident because of the fact that they weren't really feeling it. Still, while he can't see the planet looming mysteriously in the distance, looking into an endless sea of black isn't that different, whether it's from the surface of the moon or a ship.

....]

Maybe... we should ask someone.

[Darn. It wasn't a girl. Ah well, at least it was friendly enough company and he hadn't really been expecting a girl. It was just always nice to hope.]

Not too bad. Have you already picked out a bed?

... Yeah.

[Teddy's not quite paying attention to what Billy's saying, seeing how he's still staring up at the dark. It's not like the space ship, but in a way, it's still the same, still the endlessness of it. There are no stars, not even a planet like last time, but something about it still attracts Teddy like a moth to a flame.

Thus, while he'd rather look stoic and quiet like the fake him did, he looks awed.]

Wonder where we are... [The moon again, maybe a different spot on it? Or another planet?]

[Either option would be cool. And while Billy's still eager to find out what's going on and then get the hell out of dodge, maybe find a nice corner inside to hide in for a while, he can't help but notice Teddy's expression.

After everything, and the sight of space still makes him look like that.

It can't hurt to indulge for a while.]

...Dunno. But it's... pretty cool, huh...?

Don't mind if I do! [He says as he plucks a piece of the cotton to stuff into the mouth. An even trade!]

She said that, huh? And here she had me thinking she was someone who liked to have fun. You should always ask me first about a ride like that - because my answer's always yes! Let's ride that baby!

You say that like a bad thing. [He settles himself down.] This can be a once in a lifetime opportunity, so I'm not going to pass this up!

Rogue frowned. There was a lot there and none of it good, but she decided to try to keep it simple. "How many enclosures has this happened to?"

"What if we're... on our guard while we look around? Can't that be enough?"

Really cool. We could -

[Teddy lights up for a moment, because they could go see where they are, maybe go searching until they find the surface of wherever they are, let Teddy geek out and figure it out himself, maybe...

... Orrrrr maybe they should get the more important things done first. He lowers his head again, the smile fading, but a flush in his cheeks and a sheepish look follows right after.]

Find... someone who knows what's going on?

"I read there was one! I'll get you on the front of it if you want!" It wasn't fair that she, being bigger than Ami, would get to watch on the front. They would see this together.

"If you haven't seen animals from other planets before, then you need to see a dinosaur!" She tried holding her friend's hand to drag her to the line to the brontosaurus. At first, even Daisy herself is a little hesitant to believe it, even in a world with wizards, and magic, and scientists, and knights, and science fiction.

But soon enough? The tail, then the head, and then the mass of the creature comes into view. Along with children giggling happily above it.

[Billy's sad to see the awe and pleasure fade away, but the sheepish blush is pretty great to see, too. He watches it for a long moment, then reluctantly glances away to get a look around.]

...Information booth? [He points. That's probably a good place to start.]

[Old cartoons? TV? Before Daisy gets to ask about clarification, especially about the whole "squishing" thing and being absolutely fine, along with insults to the laws of physics that make them pack their bags and go home, she spots the maniac with a lighter.

And upon noticing it was spotted, it burst away in a trail of smoke like a Roadrunner.]

...

You are not getting away.

[At first baffled, Daisy instead frowns and turns determined to follow it. She bursts into speed--]

[And screeches like a car when her feet immediately cease her bolt, already a hundred meters away from Yuuna and with a trail of smoke of her own, remembering the more pressing issue. Her friend's dress is on fire.]

Yuuna! Your dress is...!

I... Um... Yeah?

I mean, not just yours, there's... Um, there's like a ton of tall people around here, but there's not as many in the kid section, so, like...

[So he's been hiding here. With the ponies.]

... You make it sound almost enticing. When you put it like that... Hmm. ... Maybe I will have to try it, after all. ... But if I get sick, I'm blaming you. [She laughs, very briefly, as she gets her feet situated to peddle the boat, more than happy to peddle by herself if he doesn't want to (or his feet don't fit or something).] Not something I'll have to worry about on this, I don't think.

[He's not sure what to say.]

This might be the Malnosso's doing, so I don't blame you.

Oh, come on!

[Oh well. Rules are rules. Kurt gives up his shirt to the blackjack dealer he just utterly lost to and is ready to just give up and walk home shirtless.]

[He definitely doesn't want to make her do all the work! He feels bad. It's a little bit awkward, but he's able to get his feet at an angel where he can press at the paddles and starts to paddle onwards.]

Are you sure? Romance can be a very gag-worthy thing. I can't tell how many cheesy love movies have cost me my lunch! [Or witnessing the live version, aka Scott and Jean.]

[Teddy looks where Billy's pointing, and - seeing all those people around it, all of them just as eager to know what's going on, Teddy starts to tense again, and he just knows he's going to start trembling in a second. Goddammit, why are there so many people here who can see just how pathetic he - ]

Oh... right, that. [He feels like shifting, he wants to shift, wants to so badly, but nothing moves, he can't hide away his nerves or his expression or anything.] Well...

[But he's no coward. So he takes in a breath, then starts to head to the booth, still holding Billy's hand tight in his own.]
