[Day: Sunday, February 9th. Time: 9:30 a.m.] [Weather: Despite that it snowed last night, it's cooler than it has been, but still fairly chilly.] [As planned, today's the day you're all going to Tokyo Disney! Everyone is heading to Sakuragaoka's front gate to meet, and leaving for the park from there.] [Session Start!] * Katie walks to the Sakuragaoka gate, hands stuffed in her coat pockets and a distant look on her face. * Satoshi leans against the gate, jacket open, seemingly not even noticing the cold. "Heya, Katie." * Haruko walks up to the gate, smiling and wearing neat and attractive casual clothes for a change. "Hey Katie, Satoshi." * Satoshi is wearing a dark blue shirt with a white stripe across the front and a pair of jeans. Yes, contrary to expectations, he's *not* wearing a jersey. ;p * Kaede comes around the corner, walking slowly to let the other person next to him keep up. He looks a little different, well the fact that he's in casual (jeans and jacket) clothes is one thing, but his face actually looks somewhat relaxed. * Taki walks up from the oppisite side that Katie came from, her true colors are finaly starting to show through, so it looks like she tried to dye black hair blue and red, but didn't bleach it first. Good morning everyone! * Katie waves with a small smile. "Morning." * Satoshi smiles brightly. "G'morning, Taki!" Oh, and morning, Haruko. * Nanami also comes around the corner, keeping up with her brother. Her clothes can be described with one word. Baggy. Everything about her seems at least slightly oversized, her blue sweater, jeans, and a baggy hat on top, kind of beret like. If it weren't for her face and eyes, you might mistake her for a male. ( Yes, her eyes are twice as big as a man's. That's how you tell the difference :P ) Morning Taki. (There's a second part, didn't feel like blocking 8 lines, nyao.) * Nanami 's eyes are a large deep violet color and her light brown hair comes about chinlength, a small braid coming down her locks on the left side of her head. She's also wearing a scarf around her neck. She comes to about Kaede's shoulder. * Kaede rubs his hands, blowing on them, his glasses steaming up a bit from the breath. "Hello everyone." Hi Kaede. * Katie blinks at the new girl. "You must be Nanami." * Taki waives a gloved hand at Satoshi before putting it back in the pocket of her well abused red jacket. * Kaede was going to introduce her, but gets slightly quiet as he watches Katie out of the corner of his eye. * Nanami fixes her eyes on Katie, and nods. "Yep, that's me. Nanami Takeuchi. Sister to Kaede over here." She grins faintly, and lightly taps him on the shoulder with a fist. * Satoshi nods to Kaede. "Morning Kaede." He then turns to Nanami. "And it's nice to meet you, Nanami." * Katie smiles. "Nice to meet you. I'm Katie." I'm Satoshi. * Kaede gives Nanami an odd sideglance as he rubs his shoulder slightly. "Yes..this is Katie, Satoshi and Taki." * Haruko grin and bows, "And I'm Haruko." * Taki bows slightly as her name is mentioned. "Good morning." * Kaede blushes slightly and looks down. "And Haruko..I'm sorry." * Haruko maintains her grin but now focuses on Kaede, waving her hand to dismiss his concerns. "You'd have gotten to me, I'm just impatient." * Nanami bows slightly to each in turn. "Hello Katie, Satoshi, Taki... and Haruko." She looks at the gate briefly, and then back to the group. * Kaede lets out a deep relieved breath and gives a nervous smile before relaxing his posture again. * Katie rubs at her hands a little, then stuffs them back in her pockets. She looks around. "Where's Kyon and Chikako?" Off figureing out how to get all of us there? * Kaede adjusts his glasses. "It does seem strange that the person who planned it is nowhere to be found.." * Nanami stretches, and looks around a little from where she's standing. I wouldn't know the first thing to do at Tokyo Disney anyhow..um..is it popular? * Kyon drives up in front of the school on his motorcycle, wearing his dark orange leather jacket and black washed jeans, boots and armwarmers. He's wearing a helmet, and there's someone familiar on the back of the bike. I'm sure they'll show up eve...and here they are. * Katie grins. "There we go." [Nanami sees her brother's highschool! It's listed in the typical school-guide books as a fairly good school, but not exceptionally great. It's known for its many afterschool activities.] (activities such as cannabilism) (Such as drug busting and arcana eating) (Arcana are mmm mmm good!) (And murder framing!) (Wow. A diverse multicurricular resume.) * Chikako is riding Kyon's bike behind him. For the first time ever, she's not wearing her school uniform, but rather a long blue skirt, white blouse and green jacket. She waves from the bike. (Need to add Iron Chef the lest of official sports) * Kaede blinks as he watches the bike oddly, adjusting his glasses again. "Is that...Chikako?" ( There's a Home Ec. club. ) * Satoshi chuckles. "Yep." * Taki waves back, "Sure looks like it." * Katie waves back. * Haruko waves back at Chikako. "So shall we get going?" * Kaede whispers over to Nanami. "You're sure you're okay with this..?" * Kyon pulls off the helmet, and looks over the assemblage. He shakes his head bemusedly. "Know where you're going?" (I'm going to Disneyland!) * Satoshi pulls a map out of his pocket. "Actually, yes." * Chikako grins. "This is gonna be so cool!" We need to go to this subway station, change lines here, and then we'll end up right there. * Satoshi points at the map as he talks. * Nanami nods to Kaede's question, and chuckles to herself. "Yes. It'll be a nice break from watching grandfather. It's not something I get so often. And now I can meet all your friends too." She eyes the friends critically as she says this. * Taki tries to look over Satoshi's shoulder with out much success as he's taller than she is, so she settles for peering over his elbow. * Kaede looks at them a bit worried, then whispers back. "Just..go easy on them okay?" ( Be nice to them. They're screwed in the head. ) So, lets go! I want to get as much time for my money as possible. Right. * Nanami cracks a grin, and responds, "If you insist... maybe I will. As a faaaavor." * Kyon nods, puts his helmet back on, nods quickly to Chikako. "Ready to go?" Then let's get going. * Satoshi looks over at Kyon. "So we'll meet you there." * Kaede gets even more worried, then adjusts his glasses as he stands back up, coughing and raising his voice up. "Yes, I think we're ready." * Chikako nods. "I'm cool." * Kyon nods again, turns to face the road, and rides off. * Taki waves to the departing bike. * Chikako waves as Kyon takes off. * Nanami stands straight up again and looks at the guy that left with slightly narrowed eyes. So how are we getting there anyway? * Haruko again waves to Chikako and then walks a few feet toward the subway entrance, glancing back to see if she's being followed. * Katie breathes out a sigh, making a white cloud in the air. "Mass transit, like always. Not all of us have our own bikes." * Katie starts thataway. * Taki points to Satoshi's map, "We walk to the station and then ride all the way." The joys of public transportation. And away we go. * Kaede makes a slight face. "I should really look into a pass if we're going to be using it so often." * Haruko grumbles under her breath about her parents in response to Katie's comment. * Taki nods as she walks. * Kaede heads towards the station. You mean you don't have one? * Taki manges to wind up walking next to Satoshi. * Kaede just shakes his head in response. "It's never been an issue. I've never needed to go anywhere else much besides school and back." * Nanami follows close to Kaede, walking casually. [Shortly, they all arrive at the gates to Disney Tokyo! It's just like Disney World in Florida, but in Japanese.] * Kyon has parked the bike somewhere and is standing conspicuously off to the side of the entrance. * Kaede looks at the gates slowly raising his eyes along them. "It certainly is...impressive." * Katie blinks up at it, then grins. "Wonder how close it is to the one at home." * Taki nods "So big..." * Satoshi looks. "Wow... it's even bigger than I remember." You mean there's more of these things..? * Haruko walks up to the ticket stand, sighing as she sees the price, and then grudgingly buys herself a ticket. 'Course, I was only about four at the time, so I can't really vouch for my memory. Plus, they've probably added stuff. * Chikako runs up to greet everyone when she sees them coming, cheery as always. "Everyone ready? This is gonna be so cool!" And, yeah, Kaede. There's two in America, and one in Europe. America's where they all started. * Nanami looks from the park to Chikako. "You must be one of Kaede's friends." Her voice slips to slightly annoyed. "And since he didn't introduce us..." she brightens. "I'm Nanami Takeuchi." * Kaede digs through his wallet and smiles a bit as he looks up. "I'll cover your ticket sis, don't worry about it." Disneyland in California even has its own hockey team! Well, kinda. * Chikako grins at Nanami. "So you're Kaede's sister? That's so cool! I'm Chikako Kurita!" They do? How's that work? I thought you had to be a city to have one...or is the one in California that big? O.O * Haruko ticket in hand Haruko returns to the group. "It'll probably be even more impressive on the inside. Shall we go play?" Well, it's the city of Anaheim. But that's where Disneyland is, and that's who owns the team. * Kaede looks a bit at the gates in awe. "It's that popular is it..?" * Kyon stalks in behind Chikako, and rocks back on his heels. "Yeah,. Let's get in." * Chikako nods. "Yeah. It'll be so cool!" Oh, I see. * Nanami nods towards Chikako, and looks at the biker-guy, with the slightly narrowed eyes again. "And you are?" * Kaede snaps out of it and goes to the ticket booth to purchase tickets. * Kyon smirks down at Nanami. "Sorata. Kyon Sorata." * Katie shrugs. "Sure is." She glances at Nanami and Kyon, smiles a little, and goes to buy her ticket. Anyhow, gotta get tickets. Be right back. * Satoshi follows Katie to the ticket booth. Thankyou so very much Satoshi. * Chikako follows Katie. "See? All eight showed! It's so cool!" * Kaede looks at the price, then at Katie and Satoshi. "Are all of them this expensive or is it just here?" * Taki waits for Satoshi to get back. * Nanami says, somewhat politely, "Nice to meet you, Kyon Sorata. I'm Kaede's sister, Nanami." I think it's all of them. * Kaede digs out the money regardless and pays for two tickets. I hope it's worth it... Hope so, too. But I'm planning on just relaxing and having fun, so, I think it will be. * Kyon nods, and his smirk widens a bit. "So he did bring you in the end." * Chikako grins. "I think it's cool." * Kaede gives out a strained smile. "I hope so.." He frowns a bit as he looks back to Kyon and Nanami talking. * Katie grins at Chikako. "Really cool." She pays for her ticket. * Nanami says smoothly, "Of course he did," and walks towards Kaede. * Haruko looks over to Satoshi and Kaede. "It's expensive, but there are so many toys...." She smiles and looks distant. * Chikako buys a ticket after Katie, commenting on how cool this will be. She's the bane of GMs everywhere, kids. * Satoshi pays for two tickets, then walks back over to the group. * Kaede holds the ticket out for her. "And here you are.." * Satoshi hands one to Taki. * Nanami grabs her ticket, and smiles a bit at her brother. "Thanks, Kaede." * Kyon palms the tickets he's already bought, and looks over the others quickly. His smirk from talking with Nanami hasn't faded. "Good to go?" * Taki takes her ticket from Satoshi "Thank you again...I think I'm going to sound like a broken record before we're done here, but I realy meen it." * Satoshi blushes slightly. "Oh, you're welcome. I'm really glad you agreed to come." * Kaede chuckles and pats Nanami's hat, flattening it down a bit. "Let's have a good time then." * Katie spins the ticket around her fingers. * Haruko nods enthusiastically to Kaede's comment and heads in. * Kyon nods quickly, and moves to Chikako's side to go in with her. * Katie heads in, too! * Nanami looks a little miffed at the patting, but says sincerely, "Yeah, it'll be fun." * Kaede walks in, looking at all the gaudy attractions with a grain of salt. * Satoshi looks over at Taki. "Ready?" [They go in, through the gate, winding up on Main St. USA. Yes, Main St. USA, in Japan.] (In Katakana I assume ^^) Let's go have some fun! ::grabs Satoshi's hand and tries to drag him through the gates:: Yikes! * Satoshi is dragged! ( Yeah ) * Kaede rubs his chin and frowns a bit. "You know..come to think of it, I have no idea where to go.." * Nanami follows and looks around, seeming a little more excited by the whole prospect. "Don't tell me I have to do everything for you, brother." She grins as she says this. * Chikako looks around with little sparkles in her eyes until Katie says that. "Oh, I brought a map! It's so cool!" She pulls a brochure out of her purse. * Kaede looks at Nanami for a while before frowning. "Well..I.." * Katie resists the urge to whistle It's A Small World After All. She wants to save it for when Kyon pays attention. * Haruko looks eagerly at the map. (I resolve to not pay attention to Katie the entire time we're here.) (Smart man.) * Taki stops dragging Satoshi when Chikako pulls out her map, "Since you can remember your last trip here, where do you think we should go first?" * Kyon looks over at Chikako, and then down at her map. "Where do you want to hit first?" * Chikako spreads the map out so all can see it. "I think it'd be cool to go to Adventure Land, or the haunted house... Or Space Mountain'd be cool, too... Oh, gosh. Um. Well, why don't we see what Chikako's got in mind? Space..Mountain? ( All the rides that go Zoom Zoom! :P ) * Nanami chuckles, and punches him on the arm again, before looking at the map. Space Mountain is where you first hit in the States. It gets packed fast. How about Space Mountain? It's still early so there may not be much a line. * Katie shivers. "Especially if it's cold. Nobody wants to be outside." * Satoshi blinks. "Uh... Space Mountain? What's that one? I don't remember it." * Kaede rubs his arm again, giving Nanami a little look. "Well that sounds as good as any." Well, since all the people who know what it is want to go there, I say we go find out why. * Chikako grins to Satoshi. "It's where you get into these cool carts shaped like cool space shuttles and they run on a track with all these cool loops and twists and spins and other cool things like that!" ^^ That sounds...interesting enough.. * Satoshi looks slightly nervous. "Does it go really high up?" * Kaede 's trying to show impartiality..and for once failing. I dunno. It'd be so cool if it did, though! * Katie shoves her hands in her pockets. "Roller coaster in the dark." She grins. How can you not know if it goes up hi...Ooooh. * Haruko nods eagerly. "It's fast and indoors, you can't see much but there's exposed machinary everywhere. It's really cool!" She does her best Chikako for the last line. You can't see if it goes high up. But trust me, it does. * Chikako grins. "It sounds so cool!" * Kyon nods tersely, and scans the map. "Right. Height and speed and dark are cool. So let's go there." He checks where it is again, and starts to walk off. In the dark...? Wow... * Katie starts towards Tomorrow Land. ^^ Sounds like fun. * Satoshi pales a bit at Katie's last comment. * Haruko skips after Kyon. * Kaede turns his head over at Satoshi, looking calmly. "Afraid of heights? I'm sure they test it so it's safe.." * Nanami starts walking, for once, actually going faster than Kaede. Oh, I'm sure it's safe and all... * Chikako follows mumbling cool things to herself. * Kaede swivels around as he sees Nanami taking off and pouts. "Hey wait up.." He rushes after her. * Taki looks up at Satoshi, "Don't worry, lots of people ride these things so they have to be safe, and besides, you've got me to protect you" ::says that last bit with a big grin:: * Katie turns and walks backwards. "It's safe, Satoshi. I went on this ride when I was four, even if it was in the States. Come on." * Satoshi laughs a little. "Well, okay. I'm sure it won't kill me to try it once... and if it's really dark, I might not even notice." Yep! * Katie grins. "I hear they put more stars up. But it should be pretty dark, yeah." She faces forward again. * Kyon slows down a bit to let Chikako catch up. * Nanami looks back, smiling a little, and slowing down so Kaede can catch up. "You wouldn't want to lose your friends after all." And now we should go before we loose everybody. [They walk through Main Street to Tomorrowland, and head to Space Mountain. Since it's early, the line isn't long at all, compared to usually. It starts inside the building.] Hey, not even outside yet. Good deal. * Katie goes in! * Kaede shoves his hands into his pockets and turns his head to the side, muttering as he slows down after he catches up. * Haruko rushes in. * Kyon steps into line alongside Chikako, hopefully. [Some people come along behind you shortly after. And yes, where is everyone in line? :P] * Kaede steps in line behind Chikako presumably. * Haruko ran in and stands first in line. (I'm first! ^^) (Or Haruko. Then I'd be second, I assume. :P) * Satoshi is with Taki, probably behind all the others. (I'm with Kaede.) (Probably best, Haruko isn't all that great about dodging people when she runs to be in front. ^_~) * Kyon stands solidly in third, with Chikako at fourth. (Just 'cause I headed over there first. Can't be that far back. =P) * Taki stands next to Satoshi and looks at all the oddly colored lights (assuming the inside of the Tokyo one is anything like the California one) (And it's Haruko in first, with Katie right behind her! Following them are Kyon and Chikako, and waaay in the back are Taki and Satoshi! What an exciting line we have today, folks!) [For simplicity's sake, the two are almost identical.] * Kaede looks around the interior, looking at Chikako for a moment. "What made you decide to suggest this anyhow?" * Chikako shrugs. "I dunno. It just looked cool." [The line moves! Slowly. But at least it IS moving.] * Haruko looks about excitedly her gaze shifting from display to display. "I hope the future really does have flying cars, that's all I really ask for." So..it was just a completely impulsive decision..? * Chikako nods. "Cool, huh? * Kaede adjusts his glasses, a bit surprised. "I..suppose so." * Kyon shakes his head, and jams his hands in his pockets. "Not like there are a lot of places like this near Tokyo." * Katie chuckles. "Sounds pretty normal." * Nanami looks over to Chikako with a cool glare, and then shakes her head, looking back at various displays. * Satoshi alternates between looking at the displays and glancing at Taki. No..I suppose not. I just wouldn't think of it. * Kyon edges slightly closer to Chikako as they move forward, and looks back at Kaede. "Why not? The ads are everywhere." * Taki leans on the wall next to the display so Satoshi doesn't have to crane his neck quite so far. "So you didn't go on this one last time you were here?" * Haruko stares contentedly at a display and trips on her own feet while trying to keep up with the line. She shifts her weight to the side to avoid hitting the person in front of her, but is unable to keep from falling down. She then bounces back to her feet trying to discretely dust herself off. * Kyon smirks. "You go outside, and you see them." [They eventually get to a point where the line splits two ways. Are you guys going right, or left, or splitting up?] * Kaede adjusts his glasses cooly. "And you go everywhere that the ads tell you?" Nope. I'm not even sure if they had it then. And I can't see my pa- my dad really liking this sort of thing, either. Hey, don't be so harsh on her. It's a fun idea. * Nanami watches the interplay between Kaede and Kyon quietly, although those narrowed eyes are back, glances towards both of them. * Katie goes right. It's not like the tracks are any different, anyway. * Kyon shrugs. "Nah. But if it's the only choice for a theme park, and you want the experience, you can't not notice." He moves forward, and looks at the split, then looks back over his shoulder. "Or maybe you can." * Haruko also goes right. * Taki nods, "My dad says I was here once when I was about 4, but I don't remember any of it." * Kyon looks back at the split, and goes to the left. * Chikako looks left then right, then left, then right. * Kaede shakes his head slightly. "I just wouldn't think of the experience myself.." He heads to the right. That's about how old I was, but my dad took lots of pictures, so it helped me remember. * Taki nods again, "We've probibly got some of them around the apartment, but..." * Chikako stands there and turns around to face whoever's left. "Kyon and Katie split up! It's so uncool!" ;_; * Katie calls to Chikako, "Just pick a direction! We'll see each other after the ride." She grins. * Nanami follows Kaede, and says softly, but harshly, "What's Kyon's problem, anyway?" * Kyon stops slightly and looks back over his shoulder at Chikako. * Taki leans forward and calls out, "So go get him and drag him to the other line!" * Satoshi points to the right. "This way?" * Chikako looks left and right ones more, and hurries off to the left. * Kaede looks back over at Kyon and then looks down at Nanami. "I haven't really figured that out yet.." That's where nearly everybody else went. Unless you'd rather follow Kyon? * Katie nods, not looking particularly broken up at Chikako going after Kyon. She keeps movin' with the line. Not particulary, I'll miss Chikako and her map if they don't wait for us at the other end though. ( So... Everyone goes right but Kyon and Chikako? ) * Haruko keeps moving and glances back who and smiles to herself. "C'mon Taki, we can always get another map." * Kyon gives Chikako a thin, warm smile and heads further down the left line with her. (Yup.) There are information kiosks all over the place, so we can get a map if it comes to that. But I don't think that Chikako will do that, even if she has to drag Kyon. True, Seeya Chikako! * Satoshi chuckles a bit at the mental image. She won't. * Chikako waves to the others, sadly. * Satoshi waves back. "We'll see you in a bit." It wouldn't surprise me if Chikako had her own information network to find us in the park anyhow.. * Nanami hmphs slightly, and continues walking, fluffing her hat back up a bit. * Taki walks down the right fork with Satoshi. * Katie waves at Chikako and glances to Kyon. She mouths, "Don't leave without us." and winks. * Haruko waves to Chikako. * Kyon smirks back, nods very quickly, and looks away down the line. * Kaede lowers down to Nanami's ear level, keeping his voice low. "Just don't let him bother you." * Haruko continues to stare at the displays, but devotes marginally more concentration to her feet. * Katie sighs and goes back to moving along with the line. Now that Chikako can't see her anymore, a tiny bit of annoyance starts to show. * Satoshi sighs. "Don't let it get to you, Katie. Kyon's just being Kyon." I don't know what his problem is. I really don't. * Nanami takes the opportunity to rub her knuckles over Kaede's head, like a noogie. Almost. "I'll be fine." * Katie frowns. "I mean, I know why Chikako went with him and everything. It's cool." She snerks a little at her use of the word. "But still..." * Haruko shrugs, "Maybe he wants to be alone with Chikako. I have no real desire to cramp his style." Haruko, you should know by now. *Everything* cramps Kyon's style. It's a question of how much. * Kaede almost falls over but catches himself, adjusting his glasses slightly. "It's just..weird..those two.." Some day I'll figure out what she sees in him. He actually came, though. That in itself is something, even if it was only for Chikako's sake. * Haruko grins at that. "True." * Katie says, almost flippantly, "Kyon's handsome in a standoffish kind of way. And I think the main reason he's dating her is for information." Maybe he's compleatly diffrent when there's nobody there for him to annoy. * Satoshi shrugs. "It's possible." Whatever his motivation, he's quite nice to her, doesn't really surprise me. I put up with it because I think he likes her more than he wanted to. And he really wouldn't let her get hurt or anything. I guess..everyone's different. ( Chikako's ignorant. ^^; ) I can't imagine Chikako NOT getting along with someone anyways... * Taki nods. No, wait...Wazzisface in the computer club. * Kaede winces slightly at the mention of that. "Please don't bring that up..I feel bad enough as is.." * Katie waves vaguely. "No, she gets along with everyone. Even people she doesn't like." There are just people who don't like her. That wasn't your fault, there was no way you could have known. * Katie nods at Kaede. * Nanami has an expression of concern spread across her face as she looks up at her brother. * Haruko tilts her head and look at Kaede. "Yeah, don't worry about it, nothing wrong with being interested in computers." * Kaede looks down slightly at her. "...what?" I can't actually picture Chikako being mean to someone. Even if she thinks they're uncool. * Katie grins. "That's because she isn't." It's one of the things that makes her so cool. * Haruko nods in agreement. * Nanami shakes her head and says hastily, "Nothing." Yep. We'll just have to find her again when we get past this line. ::looks down at the switchbacks:: How long is this anyway? [The line moves rapidly as people are ushered into little space shuttle- shaped carts that come into view. There are four carts per group, linked to each other. Each has two seats, single-file.] * Katie hmms, then looks to Haruko. "Shall we?" [In other words, form a line :P] Sure! * Katie grins and gets in the line for the first seat. Who cares if it's in the dark and only two seats long? Being in front is always best. * Kaede goes for the second seat, assuming a certain sibling wants to join. * Nanami does, and follows 'im in. * Haruko follows Katie. Hmm, it seems that we're taking the third row. Guess so. You first. And I promise, I'll be right behind you. It's too late to escape now. * Satoshi grins nervously. You arn't going anywhere. ::grins back:: C'mon it'll be fun. * Satoshi chuckles. "If you say so..." But he's still smiling. * Taki walks slowly twords the cart and looks back to see if Satoshi is moving yet. * Nanami makes sure she's fastened into the seat. * Satoshi makes himself take a step forward, then another, then another, until finally he's at the cart with Taki. See? That wasn't hard at all. ::gets in the cart:: [As soon as everyone's in, the ride starts, slowly at first.] * Katie settles back and grins. * Kaede blinks as his eyes adjust to the darkness. "This is certainly..interesting." [As it accellerates, it's like going through a warp tunnel! Whee!] * Haruko eargely leans forward as far as the restraints will let her. * Satoshi nervously taps his fingers against whatever his hands are resting on. * Katie starts counting down blast off. Three. Two. One. [The ride pulls up a long incline.] * Taki has a huge grin across her face and puts whichever hand is closest to Satoshi on the bar next to his. * Nanami says softly, "Here we go..." [When it reaches the top, it bursts forwards down another hyperspace tunnel!] * Satoshi gets even more nervous as the incline keeps going... Wheeeeee! * Katie laughs. It hasn't even started yet, Haruko. [Then it rockets out into blackness speckled with stars, and down a sudden drop! Zoom!] * Katie cheers! This is what she was waiting for. ^^ YHAAAAAHAAAA! * Satoshi yells. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" * Haruko repeates herself at a louder and more delighted volume. [Down, down it goes! Then back up a bit! then it spins!] (... you guys want me to keep doing this, or just cut to the end? :P) * Satoshi clutches the bar. Hard. And possibly Taki's hand in the process. He doesn't really notice, as his mind is currently occupied with thoughts along the lines of "Oh my god, I'm gonna die." * Kaede gets flattened to the back of his seat, his eyes widening at the sudden fall, knuckles whitening. * Taki doesn't even notice what Satoshi's doing to her hand, she's having too much fun. * Nanami is grinning, but not yelling as she rides. Her hands are up in the air. * Haruko grins widely and actively restrains herself from putting her arms up. * Katie just laughs. This is great. ^^ [The GM gets no answer, so it spirals around and jerks as it rises and dives!] * Haruko shrieks with joy. [It goes around in a long spiral downward, tilted so far that you're *almost* horizontal.] * Kaede doesn't look like he wants to let up from the safety of the bar. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! [All too soon, the ride comes to an end. But not before it suckers you with one final spin and a fast drop!] * Satoshi continues to yell, and clutch the bar. Thankfully, some subconscious part of him realizes that he's got Taki's hand, so he lets up a little on that one. * Haruko yelps with surprise and breaks into another. "Wheeeeee!" [The ride comes to a halt, and attendants lift the bars. There's a conveyer belt leading out.] * Katie climbs out and steps onto the belt, not wobbling in the slightest. She's grinning madly. * Haruko jumps out. "That was better than I remember. Though it's a shame it couldn't go faster." * Kaede looks stunned there, either not able to move or not wanting to move..it's hard to tell which. That was fun...What'd you think Satoshi? * Satoshi pants and gasps, slowly letting go of the bar. There's a slight indentation where his hand was clutching it. "I... I'm still alive." Yeah, but the dark makes up for it. It's different. We really need to go on it again. Maybe tonight, when the line dies down. * Nanami pokes Kaede. "Hey, Kaede, I think they want the ride to start again. You'd better get up." * Kaede snaps out of it and replies very weakly. "....again..?" * Satoshi somehow manages to climb out of the car. * Katie blinks. "Well, you don't have to if you don't want, Kaede..." * Haruko nods eagerly the glances back at Satoshi. "Congrats on making it through! It takes courage to face down your fears." * Satoshi looks somewhat woozy. "Thanks... I think..." * Taki nods and follows Satoshi out of the cart, "Congrats." * Nanami smirks a little. "If you don't get up, anyway." * Kaede stumbles out of the car, leaning against it for a second for balance then gets up. [The conveyer belt meets with another, at the start of the exit. The group spots Kyon and Chikako on that one.] * Taki blinks as her hand starts to sting and starts rubbing it with the other one. [Taki's hand is all red.] * Nanami follows Kaede out, and smiles faintly, looking pleased. * Katie waves at the pair. "How'd you like it?" * Kaede smiles nervously back at Nanami, wondering how in hell people find that enjoyable. * Chikako waves and runs up to the others. "It was so cool!" * Satoshi notices Taki's hand. "Oh, gosh, did I do that? I'm really sorry." * Taki looks down at it, "Wow, being hockey player gives you strong hands..." * Kyon stalks behind Chikako slowly, and stops at the group, smirking. "Yeah. It was fun." It's not just that, actually... but I'll tell you more later. * Taki nods and continues to wring her hand. * Katie laughs. Glad you liked it. Do you need to get ice or something? Could you do me a favor and get me a cold drink? Ice? * Katie looks at Taki like she's crazy. It's freezing already. Is...everything here like that..? * Chikako pulls out a map. "Ice is so cool. Literally!" She giggles. * Satoshi nods quickly. "Sure." * Satoshi looks around for the nearest concession stand. Huh? Oh, no. Space Mountain is probably the most wild ride in the park. * Haruko glances over to Taki's hand. "Does it hurt a little?" * Kaede almost wheezes out. "Goood..." * Taki holds up her hand "Haven't you heard? I'm the newest bit of safty equipment on the ride." * Nanami laughs softly at her brother's antics. * Haruko sighs at Katie's comment. * Satoshi looks embarassed. "I'm afraid I might have held on a little too hard." * Katie shrugs. "It's Disney. What do you expect?" * Kyon smirks, and nods. He leans down a bit to look at the map, and rests a hand on Chikako's shoulder in the process. I know, but a girl can hope. Yeah, it hurts a bit, but I've had worse. * Katie grins at Haruko. "If you ever visit the States, go to one of the Great Americas. They make Space Mountan look like a kiddie pool." * Taki doesn't stop rubbing it though. * Haruko eyes go wide, "We need some of those, great Japans or something." * Chikako reads the map. "Next... We could go to the haunted house! That's pretty cool! Or Bryer Rabbit... I bet that's cool. Or..." The world could always use more roller coasters. * Kaede looks for a place to sit down. * Katie smiles. "Splash Mountain's usually second fastest to fill. I don't think it's open, though." Something about it being winter and a water ride. * Chikako looks up at Katie, then back to the map. "There's Big Thunder Mountain. That's cool." * Taki nods "Let's do something a bit slower next." * Kyon smirks at Kaede. "Maybe something calm. Don't want to break anyone." * Chikako looks up again. "Oh... Yeah, it wouldn't be. That's not cool." Slow? Ok, cool... * Katie looks at the map, too. "Third. And if people don't like coasters, they won't want to go." * Satoshi spots a nearby concession stand and hurries over to it. * Nanami continues looking pleased. Well, until Kyon speaks up. *narrowed eyes* How about this.... "It's a Small World After All." That sounds cool. Haunted Mansion's always a good one. And *that* is a classic. * Katie laughs. * Kaede looks up calmly at Kyon. "I'm fine..really." * Satoshi purchases a large soda (for a horribly exorbitant price, but that's to be expected) and walks back to the group. I'd vote for Haunted Mansion, they have some neat effects. Here you go, Taki. Are you sure you're all right? There's probably a first aid station around here somewhere, too. I'm *so* sorry. * Kaede looks up a bit, interested. "Haunted mansion?" * Kyon shakes his head bemusedly at Kaede, and nods. "Yeah. Haunted Mansion's fine." He straightens, and takes his hand off Chikako's shoulder. * Kaede pointedly ignores Kyon..he looks much happier that way. ^_^ * Chikako grins. "Ok, cool! Let's go there, then!" It's allright, ::takes the soda:: And if we keep apolgising to eachother all day neither of us will have any fun. Now, what do you know about a haunted mansion or...What was that other one? It's a Small Walk? Hands squeezing doesn't really require first aid. It should feel better soon, faster with ice. Small World. It sounds cool. Yeah, that. What is it? I've been here once before but I don't remember it. * Katie starts walking. "Small World usually doesn't have much of a line, and if it does, it moves real fast. So we can save that for when the park gets busier." I vaguely remember the Haunted Mansion. It was pretty scary, at least back then. Can't remember Small World, though. * Chikako follows Katie, looking at the map as she goes. * Haruko goes after Katie. "Sounds like a plan, lets get to the mansion." "Pirates of the Carribean! Pirates are so cool!" Then we'll just have to refresh your memory. * Nanami shakes her head, and follows Kaede. If he ever starts moving, that is. That's fun, too. Want to do that after the mansion? * Kyon follows along with Chikako. "Can do that next." * Taki takes a sip of her new soda. * Chikako nods. "Ok, cool!" Doesn't Pirates have autoanamatronics? Those are neat! * Satoshi smilles a little. "That we will... and if you need to squish my hand at some point, you're welcome to." * Katie nods at Haruko. "So does the mansion. And just about everything else Disney." * Haruko grins. "Yep, almost makes up for the lack of thrills." * Kaede follows behind them, looking at Haruko at the mention of it. "Really? I'd like to see that.." I'll remember that when you're trying to teach me how to skate again. [It doesn't take long to get to the mansion. The line is surprisingly short, and you're able to walk just far enough to read the epitaths on the tombstones.] * Katie starts scoping out the epitaths, trying to tell if they're different from the ones in Florida/Cali or not. * Satoshi chuckles. "Deal." * Kaede reads the epitaphs to pass the time. ["Here lies Ned. He lost his head. Now he's dead."] * Kyon looks down towards the front of the line, then passingly at the tombstones. ["Here lies Charlie. Run down by a Harley."] * Haruko glances at the tombstones. though not with nearly the enthusiam that the Space Mountain displays earned. ["Gone Fishin'"] * Satoshi eyes the tombstones and shakes his head. ["Here lies the GM. He wasn't very good at this."] (my favorite has always been "Here lies Lester Moore. Shoot four times with a revolver. No less, no more.") * Taki looks at a few of the tombstones and makes a face before looking away, "Couldn't they just finish a Haiku or something?" * Nanami follows, and eyes the tombstones. "Those are horrible." That...just seems in poor taste..who designs these things? Disney. ^^ [Taki's request is granted as she reads one: "Summer calls, yet I am dead. Life, no more."] * Kyon shrugs. "They're meant to be. Give children a good laugh. And make everyone else wish the lines would move faster." ["Here's Kenji Brock. A man who loved to mock. Until he got crushed by a rock."] I think they're cool! * Taki nods at Kyon. (there's a third) * Katie grins at Kyon, an almost evil glint entering her eye. "I can sing It's A Small World to you. In English. Would that make you feel better?" * Haruko smiles over at Kaede. "The puns are bad, but no one's really dead. Besides, if you can't laugh at death what's left?" ["Here lies Cao Cao. Didn't quite make it."] * Kaede groans slightly. "I guess you'd have to have a pretty twisted mind to write those...remind me never to look into something Disney." (Ha! Run, Cao Cao, run!) ["Here lies Dicesuke. He critically failed that last one."] [That's all of them :P] (*snerk*) (Bwaha!) (Finally, the right reward.) (Snark) * Kyon looks witheringly at Katie. "Only if you want me to sing Love Love Love back." * Kaede smirks faintly at Haruko. "I suppose...but I wouldn't laugh at wording that horrible." Oh, that might be fun. We could mix the two and implode the world. * Satoshi thinks to himself, "Kyon sings?" [By now the line has moved up, and the group is ushered into a big circular room.] * Katie is ushered in! ^^ * Chikako grins. "You should! It'd be so cool!" * Nanami follows, and says, "This place is odd..." * Kaede gets ushered, or shoved or something...anyhow he's in. ^^; * Haruko nods to Kaede. "Fair enough, though even if I had to write puns that bad, I'd be happy to get the chance to wokr behind the scenes and play with all this stuff for real." ( Y'know, I can't remember what the guy says here, so I'll have to adlib it. ) * Taki is ushered and looks up at the normal looking painting on the walls. * Kyon follows in behind Chikako, and shakes his head. "Not here. Not a karaoke night." * Satoshi follows the others in, staying next to Taki. Now THAT I could agree with...though I'm not sure if it's any compensation for the headache that goes into those tombstones. [As soon as everyone's inside, the door behind slams shut. Or was there a door? Just looks like a wall.] * Chikako pouts. (Hotel has had some of the most prestegious guests, there's nine hundred and ninety-nine ghosts, looking for the thousandth, something like that. ^^;) * Haruko glances about happily. (Having never been to Disneyworld/land/etc., I can't help you out.) * Katie looks at the door and fidgets somewhat nervously, but steels herself. She's *done* this before, she can do it again. * Haruko actively scans the room to see if she can figure out what's coming next. * Kaede looks behind him suddenly at the door, blinking. [The voice speaks! "Welcome to the Withers hotel, you're sure to have a lovely stay."] * Taki tries to find where the voice is coming from. * Satoshi looks around, eyeing where the door was. * Kyon looks around calmly for where the voice came from. [You can't find it, 'cause of the echoes in the tall room.] * Katie stays right next to where she figures the door will open, from memory. RIGHT THERE. * Kaede looks up towards the ceiling, finally looking interested. * Nanami looks about, slightly nervously. * Haruko doesn't seem to notice the voice and keeps checking out the room. [Kaede notices the pictures start to rise as the voice says "You'll find not all is as it seems. How much is an illusion, you ask, and how much is real?"] * Satoshi frowns at the choice of words. * Katie doesn't seem to be paying much attention. Man, she hates this part. ["You'll have all eternity to ponder this because..." The voice becomes harsh. "You can't. Get. OUT! Ahahahahaha!"] * Kaede backs up against the wall slowly, looking a bit worried now.. (Yes, Meimi is working for Disney now!) * Kyon rocks back on his heels, and looks around the room at the rising pictures. * Taki looks for the door after that last announcment and notice there isn't one anymore. [As it laughs, there's a flash of lighting, those who look up during it briefly see a corpse hanging by it's neck from the ceiling.] Scary... But cool! * Nanami jumps slightly. ["Of course, if you want to leave, there's always MY way...."] * Taki jumps a bit and lands an inch from where she started. * Katie has her arms wrapped around her. Just a little longer... * Haruko stares up and ponders aloud. "Huh, where did that come from, and was that a strobe lightor something else." * Kaede pales a bit and jumps, repeating to himself "It's just an attraction, just an attraction.." [A wall opens up! People start going that way.] * Katie scrambles to get out of the blasted room. * Chikako follows! "It's so cool!" * Haruko saunters out. * Satoshi flinches slightly and follows the others. That was interesting. * Kyon looks over at Katie, shakes his head, then follows in behind Chikako. * Katie leans against the wall outside, breathing heavily. She glances around with slightly glazed eyes. * Nanami walks along, and says, "Odd..." * Kaede takes a deep breath, glad he was worried for nothing and catches up to his sister. [In the next room, little carts capable of fitting two each come rolling by as attendents help people into them. They don't stop; there's a conveyer belt to help people on.] This is a ride too? * Haruko looks at Katie and quietly asks, "Are you OK?" * Chikako nods. "It's so cool!" * Katie swallows. "Yeah. Yeah, just give me a second." * Chikako moves over to Katie. "It's cool! It's all fake, remember!" * Satoshi looks over at Katie, remembering why she'd be so freaked. He's relieved that she seems to be doing better, but figures he should keep an eye on her if he can anyway. * Kyon subtlely creates a little space near Katie before the carts by standing with his legs spread out and blocking the way a bit. I- I know, Chikako. That's why I was okay with trying. D'you wanna ride with me this time? It'll be cool! * Kaede mutters under his breath. "It does hit a little close to home.." * Katie stays that way a little longer, then gets a grip on herself and stands straight. She blinks at Chikako. "You sure? I thought you'd want to go with Kyon." * Taki silently waits for Katie to compose herself. * Nanami looks over at Kaede, and says a little annoyedly, "What's that?" * Kaede shakes his head, thinking. "Nothing..nothing.." Well... Kyon said we'd all get a chance to go with each other, so it's cool. If you like, I'd also be happy to ride with you. If anything bothers you I'll bet I could explain the tricks behind it. * Chikako looks to Kyon. "Right?" Shall we go? * Katie smiles faintly. "I'm not afraid of the rest of the mansion. It's just... I have a problem with the room, that's all." * Kyon shrugs. "You want to go with her, you can." * Chikako turns back to Katie. "See? It's cool." * Haruko smiles, "Good, enjoy the rest of the ride then." [The attendants have helped everyone else into the ride now. They wait for you guys.] * Katie grins. "Cool. Okay then." She looks over at Kyon and smiles. "Thanks." * Haruko glances around at everyone else then sighs. "Well, looks like its me and you Kyon, shall we?" * Kaede gets to a cart, looking back at the room faintly before shaking his head. * Katie turns to the rest of the group. "That goes for all of you. Because... well, most people wouldn't be so patient when I'm like that." * Nanami trails Kaede, and says, "Are they always this indecisive?" ( Yes, Nanami, yes they are x.x ) * Kyon shakes his head, smirks, and gets in the back seat of the cart. [It should be noted that the room you're in now isn't scary at all, except MAYBE the obviously fake cobwebs on the chandellears above.] That's what friends are for. * Katie nods. Yeah. It's not a problem at all. * Haruko nods in agreement with Taki and joins Kyon. * Kaede blinks as he looks at Nanami. "Now that's not really fair..though I guess sometimes.." * Katie gets on the belt, then climbs into one of the cars. * Satoshi turns to Taki. "Shall we?" * Chikako shrugs. "It's cool with me." She follows Katie in. We shall. * Taki walks over to the cars with Satoshi. * Katie smiles, obviously more at ease now. * Satoshi climbs in after Taki. * Kaede looks over his shoulder at the rest of them, looking them over carefully. ( The GM wishes he could remember what happens next ;_; ) (You can more or less sliptime it. ^^ Just point out the highlights you remember, and let that be that.) [The voice speaks as the carts pull along. "Enjoy your tour. The boys and ghouls of the hotel are just dying to meet you."] * Haruko turns to Kyon. "I think the puns are probably the scariest part of the ride." * Kaede shakes his head and looks back at Nanami. "They're not all bad.." * Katie looks around, taking in all the special effects. [The carts pass by several doors. People are trying to beat their way out, and one even has a ghastly hand clawing out beneath it.] [The carts pass into an empty ballroom. Except halfway through, ghosts appear and party. Yay!] * Kyon smirks, and nods tersely. "Yeah. None of it's really scary." He looks around the ride, trying to spot anything that's actually scary. [Then they enter a graveyard, where some of the zombies try (and fail) to sing.] * Satoshi looks at the ghosts. "Neat." * Kaede smiles slightly. Despite the corniness of it all, he does seem to be having fun. [The voice speaks. "We're now nearing the end of the tour. I hope you three have enjoyed the ride."] * Katie giggles at the zombies. I wonder how the dance worked, I don't think holograms work that way, probably a reflection or something. [It pauses, then continues. "Oh, didn't I tell you? You are not alone on this trip!"] * Taki blinks and looks around. * Kyon winces at the singing, and scowls at the voice. He looks up and down the cars quickly. [The carts pass in front of mirrors, which reflect ghostly images.] Ahh, now *this*, I remember. * Katie grins and waves at the mirror, and 'pats' her and Chikako's ghost on the head. [Kyon and Haruko are sitting next to Abe Lincoln! ^^] (They got the best one!) * Chikako giggles. * Taki gives her ghost rabbit ears. [Then the ride ends and the attendants help people out :P] * Haruko giggles. "I'd be more impressed if I could see him in the car too." * Kyon looks at the ghost, and rolls his eyes. * Katie gets out, grinning. * Satoshi smiles and climbs out. "Okay, that was fun. Kinda cheesy, but fun." * Nanami stands and gets out, looking almost dissapointed. * Haruko gets out and steps to the side, elaborately gesturing that Kyon may now exit now. * Chikako grins as she gets out. "I thought it was cool!" Verry cheesy, but fun. * Kaede gets out of the car, watching Nanami. "What'd you think?" * Kyon gets off and shrugs. "Not as good as the first one." I forgot how much fun the ballroom part was. I'd love to be able to get down there and see how it works. You didn't see the glass? * Nanami ehs, and waves her hand. "It was OK. I wasn't scared a bit." * Haruko shakes her head. "No, I assumed it was there, but I couldn't actually make it out." Weren't you? I'm sure I saw you jump in that first room there.. * Chikako pulls out the handy map as you leave the place. "Hmmm... Small World, or Pirates? I think they'd both be cool." * Katie snickers. "Really, I don't think it's supposed to scare people so much as give them a fun ride." * Nanami looks at Kaede with narrowed eyes. "Nah. Don't think so." Pirates fills up faster. There was a bit of the fake spider web hanging off of a bit. (actualy true of Disneyland) * Kaede smiles at her. "Mm-hmm, I'll remember that." * Haruko grins. "I missed that, anyways, it'd be fun to just dance around with the machines and have someone watch your 'ghost'" * Nanami huffs slightly, and punches him in the arm. "You goof." She's smiling, though. That would be fun. Hmm.... So, Is Small World cool with everyone? I dunno, I think I remember Pirates being neat from last time I was here. I guess so. * Kaede snickers and whirls around towards the others. "What's that?" So Pirates, then? That's cool. Sounds good to me. * Chikako looks to Kaede. "Wanna go on Pirates or Small World? I think they'd both be cool, so..." I'm not sure on either.. I've never been here remember. I'd say Pirates. * Kaede looks to his sister. * Nanami shrugs. "Ya got me. I say pirates. The other sounds sorta cutesy..." So, pirates, then? Sounds cool! * Kyon rolls his shoulders, and nods. "Better choice." * Katie sings lightly in English as she heads to the Pirates. " o/~" You know..I've always wondered.. * Kaede stops himself and looks at Katie VERY oddly. * Katie keeps singing. If she notices Kaede, she must not care. ^^ * Taki makes a note to snag a map next time she sees one, "So which way?" * Haruko grins. "What do you wonder Kaede?" * Kyon rolls his eyes at Katie, but otherwise ignores her. He keeps looking around the park. Oh..um.. (Yeah, Kyon, you're too cool to enjoy silliness.) * Kaede chuckles to himself as he looks over at Kyon, lowering his voice as he turns back to Haruko. "Just what he'd look like with an eyepatch." [They make it to Pirates of the Caribbean just before the crowd comes. Literally. No sooner do they go in than a ton of people come in after them] * Satoshi overhears it and laughs. * Nanami looks up to Kaede, and shakes her head. * Haruko giggles loudly, then restrains herself, but keeps giggling. * Taki is just a bit too far away "What'd he say?' * Kaede adjusts his glasses and walks to PoC humming to himself. * Satoshi grins and says very quietly to Taki, "Picture Kyon with an eyepatch." [It doesn't take long before you're at the boats. These boats fit 8 people, 4 in front, 4 in back.] Here we go. * Kyon just walks on. Doesn't look like he heard anything. He just goes and gets on the boat. * Taki starts to giggle, and puts a hand over her mouth to quit it. * Katie climbs in the front and scoots. * Kaede looks at the boat. "How convenient.." He goes to the front for once. * Haruko always goes for the front. * Chikako wasn't quick enough, so she ends up in the back ;_; * Taki notes that the front has filled up once again. * Satoshi climbs in the back. * Nanami follows Kaede up. "Adventurous now, brother?" * Kaede smiles at her. "I CAN be sometimes you know.." * Taki sits next to Satoshi. [The boat launches quickly! ... Briefly. If falls into one small splash, then starts moving slowly.] * Katie settles in her seat and tilts her head back to look at Chikako. "Don't be so sad. You get a good view no matter where you sit." * Nanami says softly, almost flippantly, although not loudly, "Wouldn't know. You're either with your friends, or in your room with the computers." * Kyon looks back from the surroundings to note that he's sitting next to Katie. He blinks once, then looks back at Chikako. Then he shrugs, and looks around again. [All around, you hear people singing in English <"Yo ho, Yo ho, a pirate's life for me!">. There's more to it than that, but I don't remember the words.] But I wanted to sit up front. It'd be cooler ;_; (Was it loud, Nanami? Aiyah.) * Kaede looks back as he hears the pirates. "Why wouldn't they put it in a language more people would understand..?" * Taki tries to hum along. * Satoshi looks around for the source of the singing. I'd switch with you, but I can't really right now. [They sail into the first area where a pirate ship is assaulting a fort!] Because then they'd have to re-record the voices instead of just using one from the American parks? * Haruko giggles. "Not like they hired professionals in the first place." * Kyon smirks. "Because the Pirates of the Japan Sea didn't sing happily." * Kaede looks over at Satoshi. "Well..I guess that's a way to save overhead..it's pretty smart actually.." I'm not so sure they did in the Carribean either. [The boat goes through a tunnel into the town. The houses are on fire, and the pirates be pillagin'. Arr.] * Katie straightens herself and murmurs to Kyon under the loud singing, "" [All the time, the same song replays over and over in the background.] * Haruko suddenly looks pale and speaks softly to no one in particular, "Oh shit, I forgot this part." * Kaede looks out over the edge of the boat, watching the whole scene with interest. * Satoshi watches the pillagin'. Yarr. * Kyon blinks, and turns to looks down at Katie, suddenly serious. He speaks very softly. "" [The boat sails into a tunnel, where the pirates are surrounded by riches whilst the villages try to use a bone to entice the guard dog, which has the keys in its mouth.] * Taki watches pirates be pirates. * Haruko shuts her eyes and tightly grips the handrail in front of her, in a manner that would break Taki's hand where she holding that instead. [Then the ride ends. Not much to that one, huh?] * Katie shrugs, keeping her voice down. "" * Kaede looks over slowly to his side, frowning a bit. "Are you alright..?" * Katie blinks at the commotion and looks over at Haruko. "You okay?" * Haruko gulps, "I will be soon." What's wrong, Haruko? [Attendants help people out.] * Kyon looks thoughtful briefly, and scowls. * Haruko softly asks Kaede, "Is the burning village gone?" * Kaede looks surprised as he turns around. "Yes..in fact, we've come to the end.." * Nanami looks at Haruko, and aahs to herself, before walking off. * Kaede looks at her seriously, frowning. "Haruko." * Haruko eyes open and she blushes slightly as she looks around. "Yeah, I'm OK Satoshi, thanks for asking." Good. I guess we all get to face our fears today. * Chikako would get out, but Satoshi and Taki are in the way. * Katie smiles with a considerable amount of understanding. "Come on, they're telling us to get off of this thing. Oops, sorry, Chikako. * Satoshi stands up and gets out. We do? That's so cool! Sorry about that. ::hurries out of the boat:: * Haruko nods and smiles slightly at Katie as she gets out of the boat. * Kaede climbs out of the boat, keeping at least one eye on Haruko. * Katie climbs out after Haruko. * Kyon walks off, at the edges of the group. * Chikako climbs out. "That was cool!" * Haruko rubs the side of her face and stands off a bit. [And so they spent the rest of the day having fun. Session End]
