<DeathStar> Date: 10-644.7.10
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<DeathStar> *a heat wave has been occurring lately as Cheryl is flopped over her desk, going through various paperwork while she still has the job*
<Seraphna> **Angela tilts her head** How come we can’t feel absolute zero but can feel intense heat?
* ChadWinters` sits in his chair, writing in small notebook. 1"You act like this heat's going to kill you."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's unnatural I tell you
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Unnatural!
<Seraphna> Angela> The upside is Cheryl wearing less.
* ChadWinters` slowly eyes Angela. 1"Why are you so creepy at times?"
<DeathStar> *Cheryl has her hair in a ponytail and seems to be wearing a tank top and shorts, tuning the two out; she grabs a knife and goes for her hair*
<Seraphna> Angela> What’s creepy? **catches her hand**
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Why do you keep knives laying around?
<Seraphna> Angela> I call them Chii leavings. Random knives and grenades everywhere.
<DeathStar> <Chii> ...
<ChadWinters`> You don't keep things hidden in case of emergency?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *hands out an letter* This just came in.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl grabs it after setting the knife down*
<Seraphna> Angela> If we don’t read it will we avoid a zany adventure?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *eyes Angela* What?
<Seraphna> Angela> Joke, we’re not that lucky.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl opens it up, reading it slowly, her face slowly looking more and more suspicious*
<DeathStar> *then tosses it aside*
<ChadWinters`> Not worth your time?
<DeathStar> *slides it over*
<Seraphna> Angela> See you could have just not read it. Now we’re involved.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're acting like the letter is cursed
* ChadWinters` grabs it and looks it over
<ChadWinters`> It's a mental disorder, I imagine.
<Seraphna> Angela> I caught it from having to be around Chad too long.
<DeathStar> Letter: "Hey! You won a free trip to our new water park! You and 5 others can spend a fun filled day at our FUN filled park full of LAUGHS and RIDES. Come and enjoy all we have to OFFER!" *it looks to be a large park with and at the bottom of it as a jester like mascot*
<ChadWinters`> Junk mail. 6He tosses it on her desk.
<Seraphna> Angela> Is that the new one that the kids encountered in their club?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Was it any good?
<Seraphna> Angela> The park or the new clown thing?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> The park
<Seraphna> Angela> Eh, if only tried to kill the kids a few times. So your average water park.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> .... *Deadpans*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Ren comes running down the halls, waving something*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I won a contest!
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh?
<DeathStar> *Ren slaps down the exact type letter Cheryl just received* I can invite up to 5 people.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Funny, I don't remember entering one
<DeathStar> *She muses*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Haven’t we been to that water park?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Mom cleared it of all demomic demons and said it was a normal water park.
<DeathStar> *demond demon clowns
<DeathStar> <Ren> Though no one did ever hear of that Jester person
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "One of those cheap advertising ploys... why did they keep the mascot?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Marketing?
<DeathStar> *Ren is calling up Noire*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Wasn’t that the shake shifter that made us tight each other?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Moshi moshi."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I got free tickets to a water park. I'm sure you want to go to one during this heat wave!
<Seraphna> Jaime> …Heat wave?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Yeah, Earth is having a heat wave
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...what water park?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I bet it's the Cartel to try to sell more water. *nods, all conspiracy theory*
<Seraphna> Jaime> More evidence that the PAX is superior.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Well, if we were on Earth, that'd mean more."
<DeathStar> *Ren gives Noire the name of the water park*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...isn't that the haunted water park that tried to kill us?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I mean, most of that was Jaime freaking out over thikning she saw Bimbo
<DeathStar> <Ren> To be honest
<Seraphna> Jaime> …Why would you invoke that name?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I don't get why a clown is that big a deal, but whatever."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh come on. Like anything with that clown has happened in what? Decades?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... fine."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I bet I could say his name three times.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Bimbo....
<Seraphna> **Jaime’s eyes glow**
<DeathStar> *leans in* <Ren> Bimbo..
<Seraphna> Jaime> Ren.
<DeathStar> *Ren opens her mouth*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Bimb---
<Seraphna> Jaime> 10,000 years dungeons.
<DeathStar> <Ren> - 0
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Hey, no sending my wife to dungeons!"
<DeathStar> <Ren> See, nothing happened.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Tell her to stop trying to summon demon clowns.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...are you finished playing?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Yep! Lets see who else we can drag and get going. *She pulls Charlotte and as they go, Jaime would see clown shoes around the corner*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Dungeon. 10,000 years.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Do you want me to start?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ren, when is the meet up?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Lets meet in a few hours. And bring your best swim suits. I'll buy something with Charlotte right now.
<DeathStar> *As they plan, only Jaime would see a clown nose leaning around the corner*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Jikuu! Get the sword.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "...why?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> A clown needs to be severed out of reality.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Are you going clown hunting?" *pauses* "Count me out."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... *hooks her arm around Jaime* Would you prefer to see me in a new swimsuit?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Come along
<DeathStar> *leads Jaime away as she hears a honk*
<Seraphna> Jaime> …you had me at Adeline in a bikini.
<DeathStar> *Adeline nods at Jikuu to join them*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Water Park
<DeathStar> *Cheryl scowls, wearing a two piece, and Zephyr shirt and shorts* <Cheryl> Why did my grandchild insist I come? *as Ren walks up in a bikini and Adeline with them. Erevis is there looking out of it*
<DeathStar> *staring at something in the distance*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *arrives around another direction, wearing short shorts and a crop top over her bikini* "Mmmmmm?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime wears a green bikini, Angela in a white bikini with a sheer skirt on her hips**
<Seraphna> Jaime> You see it too Mom?
<DeathStar> *a Jester mascot is handing out animal balloons to the children entering the park; despite looking nothing like Bimbo, Erevis is refusing to move*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes... I see it.
<Seraphna> Jaime
<DeathStar> *she feels up her two piece swim wear as if to pull out a sword*
<Seraphna> Jaime> If we attack in a pincer…
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias hits the ground by the group and tumbles along to a stop, where he pops up.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... so someone suffers from Coulrophobia."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Jester, not clown."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Leave the mascot alone
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "You are acting as if they are Xevil."
<DeathStar> *Erevis turns toward Jikuu*
<DeathStar> *her head moving unnaturally*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... worse...
<DeathStar> *Her voice croaks*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias coughs a bit and looks at the others. 1"...Did you guys find a sweet offer for this place too?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> We did!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...this now seems suspect."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Yeah, they're trying to get back on their feet after... last time..."
<DeathStar> *the Jester moves over to their group, since it's so large and mimes hello to them; he bends over to Jikuu, holding up his hand*
<DeathStar> *Then begins to make a balloon figure and hands it over to her*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias puls out one from his back pocket that's heavily stained. 1"I found this in my executive trash can.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is no doubt an item of evil, Jikuu. Do not take it
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...they seriously sent one to the EarthGov president?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> The sheer craftsmanship of it is arcane.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... okay
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "...alright." *refuses the balloon, having felt a little awkward about it anyway*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Clearly I need to have words with you
<DeathStar> *The Jester makes sad tears jester, then pulls out a pin and pops it*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Why would they? I'm one of the most important people on Earth
<DeathStar> *then makes a fighting man ballon figure for Dias*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...our apologies. Some of our companions suffer froom coulrophobia, fear of clowns."
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias' eyes go wide and he grabs it. 1"This is pretty awesome!"
<DeathStar> *the Jester nods in understanding, bows, and tumbles away back to another group with kids*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias then reaches behind his back and hands the Jester a round gem
<DeathStar> *Ah, the jester takes it, and makes it vanish*
<DeathStar> <Ren> You gave him a gem?!
<DeathStar> *behind Jaime, squeaky clown shoes can be heard*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Yeah, he gave me this sweet balloon person. It's only fair to trade him something back.
<Seraphna> Jaime> **shivers**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That's a big gift for a balloon man."
<DeathStar> *Squeak squeak squeak. Erevis turns, looking, but Ren and the others remain oblivious to her plight*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Is it?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Momma, Ren said his name three times and I think we’re haunted now.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I mean this is hand made with love.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...Dias is just helping the working man, that is all."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *hands their tickets and they head into the park full of water rides and other stuff. Ren runs to the snacks*
<DeathStar> *buying ice cream treats*
<DeathStar> *And sharing it with Akatsuki*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Are you still on about that?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *nods to Jaime*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I believe I will have to deal with Jaime. *she pulls her shirt off, revealing a white bikini* Are you de-programmed yet?
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I did? Was it worth something?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....
<Alicia> * Akatsuki eats ice cream, looking amused at the progenitors being afraid of clowns
<DeathStar> *Eyes Dias*
<Seraphna> **Jaime stares** Sexy wife~
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'll put my shirt on the second you talk about clowns
<DeathStar> *She warns her*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And if you're so concerned, just say his name backwards three times to reverse the curse."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Playing dirty.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Would that work?
<DeathStar> *She considers*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<Jackieness> <Noire> *shrugs* "Maybe."
<Seraphna> Angela>
<DeathStar> *Ren returns with snacks* So what should we do first? The log rides? Or relax at the pools
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> ...Nah, everything I've collected isn't worth anything other than the memories attached to it.
<Seraphna> Angela> So Cheryl, anything catch your eye?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "How would you even pronounce it, Ob-mib?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think I'll relax at the pools. I'm not a ride person. <Zephyr> Lame.
<DeathStar> *suddenly, a clown rides up behind Dias*
<DeathStar> *that everyone can see*
<DeathStar> <Ren> HOLY SHIT I DID SUMMON BIMBO
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias takes his shirt off and tosses it behind him as he rips his pants away to reveal board shorts.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *slowly turns to look at Ren*
<DeathStar> <Clown> What?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> *pauses a moment, sensing the clown, before identifying them as Not Bimbo* "...false alarm."
<DeathStar> *it looks like it's X in clown makeup*
<Alicia> * She does, however, freeze for a second
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias turns around at the voice to look at X? in clown make-up
<DeathStar> <X> *Stands there, looking like an angry clown due to the makeup*
<DeathStar> <X> What?
<DeathStar> *Erevis has frozen stiff*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...Ren...come here..."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Ut? Not one Bimbo word from you Jaime
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Why are you wearing that?
<DeathStar> *Ren slowly slides over* Hm? It's clearly X. All is well
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Yes, this is a jester park, not a clown park."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Lean closer..."
<Alicia> * Akatsuki looks between the group uncertainly
<Seraphna> **Jaime is frozen stiff in freak out**
<DeathStar> *Ren leans in slowly*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ren...NEVER SCREAM IN MY EAR EVER AGAIN!"
<Alicia> * Akatsuki flinches at that
<DeathStar> *Ren falls over, wincing in pain*
<DeathStar> *her kitsune/wolf ears flat*
<DeathStar> <X> Oh. Apparently this strange clown stopped me and put the clown make-up on. *she turns to scan the area* Said something about hey hey hey, would you like to play a prank. *She waves a hand over Erevis' face, who is just now moving a bit*
<DeathStar> <X> Anyway, apparently they are drawing clown faces on the kids and adults over at that booth for free
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Now then...let's do try to have some fun." *reaches for her shorts and top with ehr hands and yanks them off, revealing a glossy black bikini. Pose pose.*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Let us... not speak of clowns and actually have fun instead."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> You look good! 6He gives her a thumbs up
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sounds good. *marches towards an area with the pools; Cheryl follows and ADeline drags Jaime and Erevis*
<DeathStar> <X> *thumbs up*
<Seraphna> **Angela hooks arms with Cheryl and walks with her**
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> W-Wanna go check this place out?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Now, Ren. Remember not to go into the water for at least an hour after eatting."
<DeathStar> <X> Sure why not.
<DeathStar> <Ren> What? *she holds her ear, leaning in*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> What do you wanna check out first?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...come on." *turns on her heel, long hair flowign behind her as she walks off*
<DeathStar> <Ren> .. *looks at Akatsuki* What?
<DeathStar> <X> Hm. *pulls out a map of the park* Lets do the most dangerous ride, Jester's log ride. *she heads that way*
<DeathStar> *Ren follows after Noire while looking about*
<Alicia> * Akatsuki shrugs
<DeathStar> *Cheryl lounges at the pool while Zephyr is messing with something; at that moment she vanishes before Erevis and Jaime, right into the water*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ..
<DeathStar> *peers at Jaime; somehow Adeline misses it*
<Alicia> * Charlotte and Akatsuki go with Ren and Noire
<Jackieness> <Noire> *finds a spot and lays out to sun herself*
<DeathStar> <Ren> *puts safety floaters on Akatsuki with her tails and wiggles her at Charlotte*
<Alicia> * Jikuu pauses, watching Erevis and Jaime
<DeathStar> *X works her way up the ride's "mountain"*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias peers around from up their with X. "This is quite the interesting place!"
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Where is Cheryl?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .. into the...water. *she leans over*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "...ah?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Look hard Jikuu.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very hard
<Alicia> * Jikuu looks
<DeathStar> *Jikuu sees... a clown for a moment*e
<DeathStar> *but it might be the sun. Or the fact Erevis' insanity is rubbing off on her*
<DeathStar> <X> It is pretty impressive, I admit
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Last one down is a slow loser! 6He leaps in to a log and sits waiting for it to take off
<Seraphna> **Angela feels out for Cheryl**
<DeathStar> *As X and Dias reach the top of the ride, a Jester is there, checking their height and getting them onto the log ride together before kicking it off down the water slide*
<DeathStar> *Angela would feel Cheryl is far away now*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Now... who wants to put lotion on my back?"
<Seraphna> **Angela goes hunting**
<DeathStar> *Ren looks at Charlotte, motioning*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You're not going to?" *goes to if Ren doesn't*
<DeathStar> <Ren> *as Charlotte does it, Ren snacks more*
<DeathStar> *the log ride picks up speed*
<DeathStar> *Going faster and faster and faster*
<DeathStar> <X> Hm, this feels rather too fast
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I just want to relax..."
<DeathStar> *Erevis pulls Jikuu over and puts some lotion on her* Then let us relax
<DeathStar> *as she scans the area paranoidly*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias screams with joy. 1"WOOOOOO!"
<DeathStar> *At that moment, Dias and X's logs go flying over the side as they pick up too much speed, flying through the air as Angela arrives at a booth where people are getting clown make up. The two logs flying right for her - or I should say down on top of her*
<DeathStar> *people can be heard making a commotion at the sight, filming it*
<Seraphna> **Angela forms her gauntlets, catching X’s and leaving Dias to his doom**
<DeathStar> *Zephyr relaxes at the pool, despite the screams*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias suddenly disappears and appears next to Angela, catching his own log with his bare hands. 1"I can do it too!"
<DeathStar> <X> .... Well. That was fun
<DeathStar> *Steps out*
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "I wish I could ride that..." *pouts at the flying logs*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ...how about no
<DeathStar> <Ren> We'll find a kid's ride instead
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> And I get a free take home log! 6He hefts it above his hand then rests it on his shoulder. 1"Best ride evah!"
<DeathStar> *eyes the map*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That one looks like a safety hazard."
<DeathStar> <Ren> How about this one instead. *picks a kid's version of the log ride that just goes in a circle*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm....suspicious..."
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Awww..."
<Seraphna> **Angela resumes the hunt**
<Seraphna> **Jaime keeps focused on Adeline**
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> What next, X?
<DeathStar> *Adeline feeds Jaime; behind her though Jaime would see Bimbo waving at her as he sneaks up on Erevis*
<DeathStar> *honking his clown nose*
<DeathStar> *inside the tent, Angela would see peopel getting their faces painted with clown make up. In the back is Cheryl*
<DeathStar> <X> Lets see. *eyes a rapid river with a raft* Lets do this one
<Seraphna> Angela> You okay there Cherry?
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias sets the log down and moves to get in line for the rapid river raft
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *Blinks, as if waking up, then jerks* How theh ell did I Get here? Why am I getting my face painted?
<Seraphna> Angela> Dunno.
<DeathStar> *She moves away, having a sad face motif*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *sits up* "Have fun, I'm going to check something."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Alright. Lets take Akatsuki somewhere, Char
<DeathStar> *Ren goes to take her on one of the rides*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Any ideas where?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> What do you want to do, Aka?
<Alicia> * Akatsuki points out all the most exciting rides
<DeathStar> <Ren> *Glances at Charlotte* Should we?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Yeah, lets."
<DeathStar> *As Noire goes to investigate, she might notice Erevis is MIA. Infact, Jikuu would notice clown shoes in the wet cement*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *starts up the steps to the log ride then looks around ebfore moving off the steps to check the track at about where the logs flew off*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Alright lets do it. *takes her to the raft, meeting up with Dias and X*
<DeathStar> *The Jester slides up behind Noire, gesturing hello*
<Alicia> * Jikuu sighs, looking around for Erevis, not wanting to mention the clown shoes but quickly getting sick of clowns
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns, feeling out for her mother**
<DeathStar> *Erevis seems to be completely gone* <Adeline> Something wrong?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Erevis is gone."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I wonder if she got tired of clown stff
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?" *looks back*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I know I am."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I can’t feel her. **muses and tries calling**
<DeathStar> *The Jester motions at the ride, as if asking if she wants to try it out; it looks like the bend in the track is where it went off and over, gaining so much speed somehow it just jumped the track*
<DeathStar> *Ren, Akatsuki, Dias, and X are put in one giant raft by another Jester figure, who waves goodbye, and puts them into the rapid rivers*
<DeathStar> *And Charlotte, durp*
<DeathStar> *As Jaime calls out, she gets a hey hey hey back*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> This reminds me of the time I would ride tree stumps down rivers to strengthen my balance on Rygon 4
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...no. Just checking."
<DeathStar> *The Jester hands her a flower and moves off*
<DeathStar> *The raft ride starts off calm, before it hits the rapids and begins to bounce and speed up down the river, even going under water falls*
<DeathStar> *Ren sputters*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *eyes the flower* "Hmmmm..."
<DeathStar> *it seems to be overly colorful*
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Yay!"
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias woo's
<DeathStar> *Cheryl rejoins those at the pool, nodding at Adeline; her face still half clowned*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... *Eyes Cheryl*
<DeathStar> <X> This is enjoyable
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns and starts scanning out for Erevis**
<DeathStar> *suddenly, something approaches those in the raft; X leans in and spots clownfish in the water*
<DeathStar> <X> What the hell?
<Jackieness> <Noire> *goes back to trying to check the log track for sabotage*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "...what. If this is a joke, it is in bad taste."
<DeathStar> *The clownfish attack the raft, but they're just clownfish*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> How is that a joke? It's clearly a theme parkw
<Seraphna> Jaime> Jikuu we must find Momma.
<Alicia> * Jikuu is not on the raft
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Yes..."
<Alicia> * Jikuu reaches out first, in a similar way to Jaime before, before searching physically
<DeathStar> *The raft soon reaches the end, and outside the one incident, it's a fun ride*
<DeathStar> <X> That was enjoyable. *Ren holds a clownfish in her hand and tosses it back into the water*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Yeah it was!
<Jackieness> <Noire> *returns back to poolside*
<DeathStar> *Jikuu also gets the hey hey hey feeling, and that something is coming for them*
<DeathStar> *As Noire arrives, she would see a large clown like shadow towering over Jikuu*
<DeathStar> *almost like Dracula, reaching for her*
<DeathStar> *about to touch her shoulder*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hold it right there!"
<DeathStar> *The shadow vanishs*
<Alicia> * Jikuu looks around
<DeathStar> <Adeline> What?
<Seraphna> **Jaime glares** I warned everyone. IT has Momma.
<DeathStar> *As X and the others return to the pool, X looking at the map, Ren muses on what other ride to do*
<DeathStar> *the Jester waves at Jikuu*
<DeathStar> *before skipping off*
<Alicia> * Jikuu waves back, trying not to look as bothered as she feels
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Well, something got her."
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias peers over at the map
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well, the ride wasn't sabotaged. Some outside force knocked the logs off the chute."
<DeathStar> <X> That's not how it's suppose to end? *she half-jokes*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I hope not
<DeathStar> *there's one other waterish ride, the waterfall of DOOOOM, where the log goes over a waterfall and falls into a pool*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I liked how it ended. It was funner
<DeathStar> <X> Hm, sounds interesting
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I feel like the jester mascot is close enough to clowns that it cursed this place."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What are jesters?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Anyway.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> They jest.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Like clowns, but actually funny."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> You guys worry too much about clowns and things of that nature.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Hard not to when people go missing."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well I haven't heard him jest too much
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He's more like a mime
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...any lesser person would have been killed, Mr. President."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Should we go track him down?
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Well it was a good thing it failed while X and I were riding it.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You think it's him?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well. Some of us could check him out I guess. And the rest could keep having fun
<DeathStar> *Ren pulls out a bunch of straws*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Draw lots?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I'll investigate. You have fun."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Him who? What are we worried about again?
<DeathStar> <X> That the Jester is a clown
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers around still**
<DeathStar> <X> I think
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll investigate too
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I am going to investigate."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Why not just ask him? 6He looks around the the jester
<DeathStar> *The Jester seems to be over by a large tent*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias turns to him and starts jogging over
<DeathStar> *Ren picks up Akatsuki and sneaks her off to the waterfall ride*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *sighs and goes toward the Jester*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Come my child, incase this blows up in clown madness.
<Seraphna> **Jaime teleports over to the tent**
<DeathStar> *The Jester is leaning on a cane as Cheryl, Zephyr, Dias, Jaime, Noire, Adeline, etc arrive*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Hey Jester mascot person. 6He waves at him
<DeathStar> <Jester> Why, hellllooo, Mister President. *He tumbles forward toward him and comes to a stop, bowing*
<Alicia> * Jikuu heads over, both to investigate and to avoid anything serious occurring
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> He..does talk
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> My friends think you're actually a clown.
<DeathStar> <Jester> How offensive.
<DeathStar> *He plays with his cane* Does this faec look like a clown. *He motions8
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I know. But they can't not see you as a clown.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Of course not. You look like a Jester to me.
<DeathStar> *the Jester sighs* Thank you, Mister President. *He leans in toward Jaime* Some people just can't look past the face.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Where is my mother?
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> You should apologize, Jaime.
<DeathStar> <Jester> Your mother? Should I have the park do a missing person's call?
<DeathStar> *He spins his cane and then leans on it*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yes.
<DeathStar> *The Jester nods and motions them to follow8
<DeathStar> *moving along toward the head office*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm..."
<Alicia> * Jikuu follows.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias trots along.
<Seraphna> **Jaime moves along
<DeathStar> *Cheryl and Zephyr walk along, peering about. Adeline quietly studies* <Jester> You know, they say that every one has a weakness. Even mighty heroes such as yourselves. I am surprised... *he leans back* That it's CLOWNS. But hey hey hey, it's nothing to be ashamed of.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Me? Oh clowns don't bother me.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...its the other couple of scaredy cats..."
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Ah?"
<DeathStar> *he shrugs, flowers appearing out of his sleeves, then colored ropes and other materializes before offering those afraid of Bimbo a little clown doll, turning to the others* Well, we should not pick at them. *leans in, making a goofy voice* Else when they learn your fear, they'll joke about it, am I right?
<DeathStar> *they stop at the head office, then with a flourish motions at the door* Step right in!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...I see."
<DeathStar> *in the background, Akatsuki and Ren fall down the waterfall*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I say you face your fears head on that way you can over come them.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I agree."
<DeathStar> <Jester> A good life lesson, Mister President!
<DeathStar> <Jester> You should teach kids
<DeathStar> <X> ...
<DeathStar> <X> Lets not give him ideas.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Agreed
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I like to think I already do every day as President of Earthgov
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Winners don't do Dias.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Kaleb turned out perfect!
<DeathStar> <X> Last I heard, Kaleb was busy training a 1,000 times Earth's gravity on some planet
<DeathStar> *Adeline steps into the office for Jaime*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias wipes a proud tear from his eye. 1"That's our boy."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Come on Jikuu
<Seraphna> Jaime> **steps in with her**
<DeathStar> *The office looks rather normal, but Jaime and Jikuu for am oment see a shadowy clown behind the people working*
<Alicia> * Jikuu heads in. "Overcoming ones limits is how you get stronger, though."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> We'd like to use the intercomms to call out to Erevis Zhenmei
<DeathStar> <Adeline> She's gone missing from our party.
<DeathStar> *as the call is sent out, the Jester bows* Is there anything else you need from me?
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> ...ummmm. 6He muses a bit as he thinks hard
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...who sent out these invitations to us specificially and why?"
<DeathStar> <Jester> Oh! That's right! *He leans in* Well, it's because....
<DeathStar> *He looks around all secretively, waving them closr*
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns**
<Alicia> * Jikuu listens
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves closer* "...well?"
<DeathStar> <Jester> We really wanted you here to enjoy yourselves. You're all always so uptight. I mean, you're practically chasing shadows as it is. You really need to learn to enjoy yourselves. *He laughs and rolls away*
<DeathStar> <X> I am not uptight
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ....
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Am I uptight?"
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> He has a point, you guys are all uptight. 6he slowly looks at X. "That's a joke right?"
<DeathStar> *at that moment the person at the office looks up* We have sighting of oyur mother here. *She points at the map* She is waiting for you there.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl >Why not come here. *The person shrugs*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...how annoying."
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Thank you! Jaime, let us go."
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and warps them there**
<DeathStar> *They arrive where Ren and Akatsuki are studying the map, confused; it seems they are outside a haunted water ride type house8
<DeathStar> *The water going through the house; you ride the ride as it scares you*
<DeathStar> <Ren> This seems weird for a water park
<DeathStar> *She turns and jerks at Jaime and company being there* AAAH
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...yes..."
<DeathStar> *Then covers her ears as not to be yelled at*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mom?
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Jesus! 6He wiggles his fingers in his ears
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers about**
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Why are we here now?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hm. *feels out*
<DeathStar> *Jaime and Jikuu would feel a PRogenitor inside the ride*
<DeathStar> <X> I believe we are here...to have fun?
<DeathStar> *X moves to get inside the multi seated ride*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Oh. That's awfully nice of Jaime to bring us here. 6HGe moves to sit down next to X
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Mom, are you here?"
<Alicia> * Charlotte rides along with Ren and Akatsuki
<DeathStar> *a clown like shadow lurks in the windows as a response*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmm...are we seriously doing this?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Is that the Jester? *She says, seeing the shadow for once*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I wouldn't be shocked.
<DeathStar> *she gets into the ride*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "... let us get this over with."
<DeathStar> *Ren puts Akatsuki in the middle of the ride and gets on*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks anoyed as she finds a seat too*
<DeathStar> *As they take seats, the Jester arrives and locks them in, glancing over a paper*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... wait, wasn't it a haunted house the last time something like this happened too?"
<DeathStar> <Jester> Now we are not to be held liable for any freights that might scare you to death, or make you afraid of certain things like spiders or ghost or water
<DeathStar> *He locks them in like attendant might*
<DeathStar> <Jester> Have fun!
<DeathStar> *he starts the ride*
<DeathStar> <Ren> You know, I think you're right
<DeathStar> *As they go through the doors*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Like this could make me afraid of water."
<DeathStar> *immediately they are dunked by water*
<DeathStar> *As shrills of banshees are heard*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias laughs a bit at the sudden splash.
<DeathStar> *As they float along the water, "terrifying" ghosts and monsters can be seen on either side, trying to scare them8
<Alicia> * Jikuu enjoys the water, at the very least
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias rocks the ride a bit
<DeathStar> *the ride them picks up speed as they are splashed again and it goes under water for a second before climbing up to the next floor of the haunted ride, where they are misted as the spiders show up, trying to make them feel like they are being webbed. Then the clowns show up*
<DeathStar> *the evil killer clowns leap out*
<DeathStar> *holding various chainsaws and the like*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ..
<DeathStar> *among the killer clowns, a shadowy clown figure can be seen, reaching for the ride*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Ooooh scary.
<DeathStar> *Getting closer and closer*
<Alicia> * Akatsuki just enjoys the ride
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...really?"
<DeathStar> *until it touches and the ride breaks down and the locks on the ride opn*
<DeathStar> <X> ... strange.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I suppose we should get off.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Face your fears."
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias peers down at everything stopping and the locks opening up. 1"Awww, just when it was getting good.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I was enjoying too
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...of course."
<Alicia> * Jikuu steps out
<DeathStar> *She climbs out and moves among the killer clown animatronics*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> There should be an exit here for the employees
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias hops out and peers about
<DeathStar> *X heads for the back and kicks the door in*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "My worst fear. The ride breaking down."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Safety codes would mandate an emergency exit in case of breakdown or fire."
<DeathStar> *beyond the door is an employee area where Erevis has been laid out, snoozing*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> ...That's not fair. She's sleeping.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ...hm. <Ren> I feel like this is a trap
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Dias, go and get her."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Should we approach?
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> A Trap?
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> This is a water park.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Yes." *heads forwards to wake up Erevis*
<DeathStar> *Erevis stirs; as Jikuu does that, the shadowy clown figure approaches Jikuu for all to see, reaching out to touch her*
<DeathStar> *The hand getting closer and closer*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Jikuu... HGmmmm. What happened?
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Dude. They even got a sweet shadow hologram in here!
<DeathStar> <X> It is impressive.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I think there is a ghost clown trying to mess with us."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> It's probably to keep the employees guessing and having fun
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh god, you too now?"
<DeathStar> *The hand lands on Jikuu's shoulder and Bimbo the Clown is suddenly there in the flesh* <Ren> Hey. *leans in toward Charlotte* Is that a ... clown? Not a Jester.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Yep."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...is that the one you fear?"
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias blinks. 1"Now that's an impressive trick!
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "You got us, now please stop."
<DeathStar> *Erevis eyes Bimbo and jerks*
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> *bows to Dias* I gots lots of them! Tons of them! *he pulls out various objects, most of them being weapons and bloodied cards*
<DeathStar> *Bimbo sets Jaime among the tricks, mummified in surprise* See?
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Even fake blood. This is pretty cool.
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> Wait, wait wait wait, all my tricks are real
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That's just what a liar would say."
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> The real deal. Tell them. *he yanks Jikuu over with a fake arm*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I mean, Noire could probably do that
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Why me?"
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> Liar? Liar?! Me? I'm the most honest clown in all of the world.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I am confused though. If you're a clown and this is a place with Jesters. Why are you here?
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> .... Jeeeester?
<DeathStar> *he pauses, turning toward Dias*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Yes, Jester."
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "I like the jester more."
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> ..*he eyes Akatsuki*
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> What ...did..you...say?
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I mean, he was funner.
<DeathStar> *his voice sounding demonic now*
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "I like the Jester!"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...too be fair, I *am* a Dark One sorceress." *in lower voice* "...in training."
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> ... *Grabs Akatsuki and vanishes with her*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Wait what?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Alright, that's it. You're going down, clown."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...now he just went too far."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> His power has always been on belief
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "He really did."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Who's powers? I'm confused now. And where did the child disappear to?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> All of us just now rejected him; it looks like he's trying to force Akatsuki to acknowledge him
<DeathStar> <X> It looks like the clown has clown powers
<DeathStar> <X> You never know with clowns
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I mean they are natures most mysterious creatures.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Where would he take Aka?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We find Aka, take down the clown, then go home, right?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm....I'm not sure."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I guess to face the Jester?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Probably."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> A jester clown face-off? That's a battle of the agres I gotta witness.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is not the Jester an evil being as well?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well, he did help us find Erevis."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Why would you say that? He seemed awfully nice to me.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ah.....okay..
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *focuses and warps everoyne outside*
<DeathStar> *where people are screaming as giant clowns are rampaging*
<DeathStar> <Rampaging Clowns> Hey hey hey!
<DeathStar> *one giant clown is drinking water from the rides*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It looks like he's getting the crowd to believe in him
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'll get rid of the park goers
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Defeat the leader and the rest will disappear."
<DeathStar> *she heads off*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I think this requires a beat down. 6He takes a step forward then launches upwards, appearing in front of one of the giant clowns
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm with Noire." *follows*
<DeathStar> *The giant clown ooofs and flies comedically through the air, spinning and turning into confetti that rains down*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *goes to find tge Jester and hopefully Bimbo*
<Alicia> * Jikuu helps fight off the giant clowns.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias lands and begins to do battle with them all
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I could use a punching bag to relieve my stress."
<DeathStar> *Jikuu defeats another clown who turns into tiny ones who try to bite on her. X ripples one in half who turns into pudding*
<DeathStar> <Giant Clown 3> Hey hey hey, I love your swim wear. *he aims and turns it into swim wear with clowns*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias zooms in behind one and leaps upwards, kicking at the back of its leg
<DeathStar> *As the others arrive, Bimbo, holding Akatsuki, faces off with the Jester.* <Bimbo> *tries to use his unnaural powers, but the Jester seems unphased* <Jester> You know, I believe you have a funny problem. You should work on new material. Especially when your jokes make people scream instead of laugh
<DeathStar> <Ren> Aka!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Oh, burn!"
<Alicia> * Akatsuki cheers on the Jester
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> S-Stop cheering him on!
<Alicia> * Akatsuki cheers on the Jester more
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> *puts a clown nose on Akatsuki*
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> The classics are classics for a reason!
<DeathStar> *He honks her nose*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...Ren, grab Akatsuki when I make an opening."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Right
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'll back you up."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *summons her tendrils and slithers them toward Bimbo from behind*
<DeathStar> *The Jester leans on his cane, making puns at Bimbo while the giant clowns topple over from dias*
<DeathStar> <X> I Think these giant clowns are getting weaker.
<Alicia> * Charlotte summons tendrils too, holding back until Noire makes her move in full
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Oh they definetly are. They're not as fun to beat up.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to bind up Bimbo Mystery Inc style*
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> Hey hey hey?! *Ren leaps and grabs Akatsuki, rolling as Bimbo wiggles*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I am still having fun."
<Alicia> * Akatsuki sticks her tongue out at Bimbo as she's rescued
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And now.... to see who he really is!" *reaches for Bimbo's face*
<DeathStar> *Bimbo's face is ripped off*
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> Nooooooo
<DeathStar> *he writhes*
<DeathStar> <Ren> *covers Aka's face*
<DeathStar> *The giant clowns vanish*
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> The paaain. ...the paaaaaaain
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Looks like the others won."
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "And I feel so much better now."
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias sighs a bit. 1"Man, just when I thought things were gonna get super fun.
<DeathStar> **He writhes and wiggles, as if melting. Erevis and Adeline stare along with Cheryl*
<DeathStar> *Bimbo takes forever, acting as if he's dying*
<Jackieness> <Noire> ".... ... ..." *holds up the clown face like a puppet* "...oh no, who cna't make a hyena laugh? This guy!"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Nice one!"
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> Uhjhjk. Forgive me.... don't send me baack
<DeathStar> *He melts more into the ground*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Send him back
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...back?"
<DeathStar> <Jester> When is a clown not a clown. This Bimbo
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves the clown mouth* "What's that? I'm melting? Don't send in the clowns!"
<DeathStar> *Bimbo melts into a bubbling goopy mess*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh what a world"
<DeathStar> <Jester> Well, now that he's gone again, I suppose we Jesters have nothing standing in our away. *pause* That is a joke.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks at the clown face* "...oh no, you stained the carpet."
<DeathStar> <Jester> *Twirling his cane, he begins to move off, whistling a tune*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why do I worry.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Should we stop believing in Jesters now?
<DeathStar> *as the Jester walks by, he hands Akatsuki something*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *wiggles the clown face* "In the last few seconds, I've gotten more laughs than in the entire rest of my life. I cna die happy and stay dead." *drops the clown face on to the bubbling Bimbo goo*
<Alicia> * Akatsuki looks at it
<DeathStar> *A little balloon toy that looks like her*
<DeathStar> *before departing*
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Thankyou!"
<DeathStar> <Jester> You are welcome
<DeathStar> <Ren> I somehow think it will be hard to forget the Jester.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...and that is the end of my act." *takes a bow after stealing Bimbo's spotlight*
<DeathStar> *Ren claps*
<DeathStar> *somewhere in hell, Bimbo stares up at Noire*
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> Not...funny...
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It was funnier than the entirity of Bimbo's repertoir."
<DeathStar> <Bimno> TWICE AS NOT FUNNY
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hey you know what this means?
<DeathStar> *As Zephyr returns*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Ice cream?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> We got the park to ourselves due to this
<DeathStar> <Ren> Score!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> <X> I Will go do the log ride again.
<DeathStar> *she walks off*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "What's wrong? We deserve it."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *picks Akatsuki up* Lets go have fun
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I 'll join ya! 6He moves off after her
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *pulls Jaime off with her*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will take this time to relax.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I admit I'm still curious as to the mystery of why we were brought here the Jester - and how Bimbo got back
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But I guess I'll drop it for now
<DeathStar> *she heads to find the pool*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I wonder that last one myself... but right now, I'm just going to have fun."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...I suppose so..." *walks back to the poolside*
<DeathStar> -meanwhile, Bimbo the Clown waits in hell for someone to let him out or to revisit hell or to say his name. But then again, no one respects him or fears him properly anymore. Maybe he'll have to get a new act. And a new face. HEy hey hey.*
<DeathStar> -END-
