-Kaminari : Near the Amusement Park-
"Heheh, yeah, kind of difficult though carrying him all the way here... Maybe I'm outta shape?" As he pondered too himself, he put his hands behind his head and began to relax. His muscles were tightening, and he wanted to rest for the longest time, but he couldn't procrastinate. He just needed to wait until Kato woke up, which would be... When? As he began tilting his head back, he watched as a blue butterfly fly above the trio towards the amusement park. "(I wonder what species of butterfly that was...)"

As Kami was catching his breath and pondering to himself, he turned to see that his pal beside him had finally woken up. He let out an exagerated sigh, grining weakly while he did it. "Man, I'm glad you woke up.... Thought I was going to have to carry you all the way there." Kami pushed himself off the bench, and turned towards Sachiko, his smile faltering a bit. "Sachiko, he doesn't really need to apologize about it, I don't mind... Really, I wouldn't." The truth was, it would be kind of disheartening if no one did remember, but he was glad someone did.

As he spoke, he turned towards a direction in which some people were traveling. "Hey, come on you two, we are almost there!" Kami quickly grabbed both of their wrists and began dragging them towards the amusement park.

---

-Kaminari : Amusement Park-
As he dragged the two along, he finally made his way to the amusement park. There were a few lines to get in, but it would probably about a ten minute wait. While the trio were waiting, there were different talks about how this place opened up recently, and how it opened up a few days before the whole cult stuff started. If you looked around, you could see a few people mindlessly wandering around inside as if they were in a spell.

"(So this place opened up before the whole cult stuff started huh? Wow, what a bad start their little business is off to.)"

"Anyways, sorry for not telling you guys about where we were going, but I wanted to keep it a surprise... Anyways, this is the Warakuma Amusement Park!" As Kami began explaining different things about the park, you could hear the screeching of the riders going down a ramp on a speedy roller coaster, the laughter of those on a few other rides... Strangely enough, the "main attraction" seemed to be a Hall of Mirrors.

"Didja hear, they said they only let chosen enter in!"

"Huh, no way, that's stupid!"

As a few teenagers near the trio began talking, Kami finally finished his explanation of what he knew about the park. "And that's just it!" As he concluded, there was a buzzing in his pocket which took Kami ny surprise for a bit. He withdrew his phone from his pocket to see who was texting or calling him. Kami stared at his phone for a bit, before punching in a few things into his phone before putting it back into pocket.

((OOC NOTE - Here's the text

"Oh, hey Ayano! Sachiko, Kato, and I are at an Amusement Park at the moment. Why, is something going on, or do you want to hang out with us?"))

"Sorry about that, it was Ayano... Oh, it seems we are next!"

Kami paid for the trios wristbands to get into the park and such, and he waltz in with the three, looking at the different rides, surprised at all the content here. Before he could ask the two where they should go, they were approached by a strange looking gentleman of sorts. He seemed quite young, but he had a welcoming smile on his face rather than a stern and serious look on his face.

---

-The Owner-
"Ah, hello to you three, how are you liking the park so far?" The man stared at the three waiting for an answer before groaning, and putting a hand to his face. "Ah, I'm sorry, I haven't even introduced myself yet... Then again, it would be strange for me to give my name out to a bunch of strangers..." The man stared off into space, quizing himself on wwhat course of action he would take. He smirked up at the sky as he let out a snap and turned back to the three.

"Ah sorry about that... I'm the owner of this wonderful establishment here, and I ask you to enjoy yourselves, uhm... Whats your guys names? I usually like to know my customers names so I can welcome them back whenever they return... Lets see, there's..." The man began naming a couple of names off while counting each name with his fingers. After a few minutes the man snapped back to attention, and extended his arm out.

"Erm, sorry about me rambling and such, ehehe... Anyways, please to meet you, uhm..."

---

-Kaminari : Amusement Park-
Kaminari just stared and listen to the man as he spoke. Could a strange scatter brain like him really be the owner of such a huge, magnificent place? Who knows, he shant judge a book by its cover. As the man finished his speech, he extended a hand to Kaminari. Kami stared at the hand for a moment, before shaking it, and shining a smile at the man.

"Please to meet you, I'm Kami."

---

-The Owner-
As he finished shaking hands with Kami, he let him go from his grasp and extended his hand towards one of the other two. It seems he wants to know their names too.

((OOC NOTE : Ok so, it doesn't matter which one of you two posts, he will shake your hand, and then quickly move onto the other before having to go off somewhere due to one of his workers telling him about something.))

[Aquaknight]

Kato looked guiltily at Kami, he feels terrible for forgetting his birthday and making carry him. He didn't say anything, Kami grabbed both Sachiko's and his wrists, and started dragging the two to a direction in which Kato still confused about. He doesn't even know how far from anywhere he is from anything he can remember. "Almost where?" He asked Kami.

-Kato : Amusement Park-
The trio arrived to a place Kato hasn't known was in town, he looked puzzled, how long has this been here? Why is the first time he even know about it's existence?
"This place looks fun, is this place new?" Kato finally ask to the other two. Kami said he wanted to surprise them by coming here, Kato's is quite surprised, "this the first I've heard...Well seen of this place." He said with some excitement in his voice, he was smiling, he just hope he doesn't fall asleep on any of the rides.

Kami talked about some of the things to expect in the amusement park. This place sounds fun from what he said. When Kami finished his phone ranged and he checked it, and then replied to the text. He said it was Ayano, him saying that reminded Kato of his most recent dream a few minutes ago, it was odd, he had a dream where Ayano and Kami were dating or something he can't remember fully but the idea of either having those kind of feelings for each other is just silly and makes him giggled under his breath thinking about it. "I hope I don't fall asleep in a weird place." He spoke quietly, as Kami paid for the wristbands.

Suddenly a bald man came up to the group, he had a friendly smile welcomed the trio to the park, it's very welcoming it seems. He seemed a little out of it, but Kato really can't talk about it, that would make him a hypocrite. The man said he was the owner of the park, the only thing Kato thought about that was, this park has really good service if the owner welcomes people. He asked for theirs names are, before Kato could say anything the man started saying names while counting with his fingers on how many names he said, it went on for a few minutes, it was a little awkward to stand their quietly as he said random names and honestly Kato spaced out for awhile, just stairing at a random cloud in the sky, it was shaped like cat head. The owner snapped back to attention and excused himself and shakes hands with Kami, Kato was still a little spaced out, but when he extended his arm for a shake, Kato snapped back to normal and said, "My name is Usagi Kato, Kato is okay with me." He said politely.

[Cuco]

"C'mon guys, I was just kidding..." She said in response to how seriously they took her. Surely they ought to know she of all people wouldn't actually demand an apology over something so small? Of course, it didn't seem to be much of a problem because Kami quickly gathered them both up and dragged them off to whatever destination he had in mind.

Is this what it feels like when I drag people around? Man.......I had no idea how fun this could be!

As it turned out, they were headed to an amusement park. Sachiko had wanted to come to this place since she heard it had opened. It was fitting that they would come here on Kami's birthday. Plus, she was sure it would probably take his mind off all the drama, if only for the day. She did kinda wonder about this place, though. She had always thought Warakuma was supposed to be a small town, but they somehow managed to sustain things like carnivals and arcades. She would've wondered about this a bit more, but Kami was explaining what he knew about the place, and it would be rude not to listen. It seemed he was excited about the park, which was a good sign. When Kami's phone went off, she didn't think it would be anything too important. But then, in a rather blasé fashion, he said that Ayano had contacted him. "Wait, wha-" Was all she could utter before they were up to get into the park. Sachiko was more than a little baffled. Wasn't Ayano supposed to be avoiding them? When did she start contacting Kami? Just now? And he didn't seem all that fazed about the woman he was crying about just a little while before contacting him? She would've started to ask questions about it, but they were approached by some strange man. He claimed to be the owner of the park. At first, Sachiko was only half listening, because she was still wondering about this Ayano business, but this man was really acting strange. He asked for their names, too.

"Oh, uh, Sachiko Mogami, pleased to meet you." She shook his hand when he offered it. She kinda hoped he only wanted to greet them, cause she was hoping to starting asking about the sudden communique from Ayano.

[Savo]

-The Owner : Warakuma Amusement Park-
The man smiled as he greeted the three, but before he could say anything else, a worker who looked to be about female and in her twenties approache'd the man. She whispered something into his ear before gesturing for him to come along. He nodded to the girl, and turned back to the three.

"Oh, sorry about that, its just there's something I need to go and deal with... Guess I'll be going, and hope you enjoy your day at this amusement park!" The man quickly scampered off with his worker, disappearing into the crowd. No matter how hard any of you would look, you couldn't find the worker nor the owner.

---

-Kaminari : Warakuma Amusement Park-
As Kami watched the man run off, he could only think to himself about something that man said. "(Those names the man called out sounded... Strangely familiar... Where have I heard those names before.)" As he quizzed himself on this, Kami was struck by a splitting head ache. He grunted in pain as he began stumbling a bit, lookking like he was recently struck by something. The pain lasted for only a few seconds, and he shook his head and turned back to his friends ((who were possibly having the same head ache just about now, hint hint, cough cough)).

"What the, are you two oka-"

Before he could finish, he heard a voice call out to the trio. He helped his friends if they needed any help, and took them over to what looked like a man guarding an entrance to a House of Mirrors. He looked at the three, before whispering something to them. He asked if they could guard the exit for a bit, before running off, not waiting for a reply from any of them.

"(Seriously dude? Ugh, what a strange employee...)"

As he neared the entrance ((with presumably Kato and Sachiko)), he heard someone calling out for help in the Mirror House. "(Huh is someone in trouble?) Guys, something is possibly wrong in the mirror house, I just heard someone cry out for help," he said in a worried, and yet panicky state. Before long, he was dragging his friends inside the Mirror House, seqrching for that voice.

---

-Kaminari : Mirror House-
As he dragged the two with him in search of the one calling for help, Kami took a look at the different mirrors set out in the house. They were nothing other than ordinary mirrors from the looks of it, and nothing more. "(Why do all of these mirrors look the same? Did he not have the time to get or make different types of mirrors?)" As the trio descended deeper and deeper into the sea of mirrors, Kami turned to look at one of the mirrors, and expected to see his own regular reflection. What he got was a strange shadowy silhouette looking back at the man. Kami abruptly stopped, surprised by what he just saw before him.

"What the heck? Did you guys see that?"

Kami let go of the two, and walked back over to the mirror, only to be greeted by his own reflection. "What the... (Am I just seeing things?)" As Kami stared at the mirror for a couple of seconds hands protruded from the mirrror, causing the mirrorr to ripple like a water. They latched on to both of his legs and began dragging him in. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?! AH SACHIKO, KATO!"

As he started screaming, a few more hands came out of the other mirrors, grabbing Sachiko and Kato. Kami wasn't strong enough to claw his way out of the mirror, and was soon completely submerged. Neither one of the two could hear his screaming, as he had been muted by the passing into another world.

Before the two knew it, they were dragged into another mirror by shadowy figures, and any yelling, and screaming that came from them was completely silenced. The man who had left earlier, walked back to his spot, and looked stern and serious as ever. Soon he dropped the look, and he began grinning devilishly at something.

The house was eerily quiet, and naught a sound escaped from its confines.

((OOC Note: Ok you two, get your replies in, because they are going to be the last until Vita and Rin get pulled in))

---

-Yakudatsu : Warakuma Mall-
Yaku stared at his sister, obviously irritated by the way she spoke to them. He wanted to object, but his gut just told him to stand down. ".... Ugh, fine.... I guess I'll go do something else for the time being then... Hey Chiaki, let me show you around town so you sont have to rely on us the whole time... Come on!"

Yamu grabbed his cousins wrist, and began pulling her away from Ayano. He began talking to Chiaki, telling her about the different stores in the mall. As soon as that was done, he brought her outside, and began to show her around the large town. As he was walking, he passed what seemed to be a strange flamboyant couple walking away from a group of teenagers, laughing as they left.

"What a weird looking couple."

[Aquaknight]

Kato watched silently as the man shakes Sachiko's hand and then left when a female worker and left in a hurry. Kato thanked him quickly, before he was out of earshot.
And before Kato could say anything else, it suddenly felt like something was splitting his head apart. Kato grunted as he stumbled forward as he tries to gain balance. It didn't last long but it was a terrible feeling, Kato swore under his breath. Kami, said something but before he could finish a person yelled out to them, Kato followed the voice simply because he was still confused from the pain. The man didn't even ask if they were okay, he wanted them to do his job. "You want us to-" And suddenly he left the trio behind and confused.
Kato sighed, and he walked with Kami to the entrance, and all of a sudden he heard a yell for help. Kato snapped into focus by it, he assumed the person is simply lost, but it did sound in distress. "Might just be lost in there, but let's check just in case." He said in a calm tone, he not going to panic like Kami's doing. The three of them went into the Mirror House

- Kato: Mirror House-

Kato followed Kami, Kato looked around but the origins of the voice. Why are all these mirrors the same? it's making it so hard to find anything or if just a mirror or a hallway. The mirrors were getting more and more confusion the deeper they get. He was spacing out, all these mirrors were confusing him, he kept looking at mirrors after mirrors. How in the world does one get around in this. When Kami let go of his and Sachiko's hands, Kato went ahead a bit more, and went right on one of the turns, and what he seen was not what he expected. He seen his reflection, and the mirror rippled like water,and suddenly arms grabbed at him, he screamed and jumped back but he ripped in his fear, he landed hard on his back, hitting his head on the ground making a thud noise, dazing the young man, and suddenly something grabbed a hold of his legs, he looked and he screamed again, he tried to kick them off but with each kick the arms became stronger and harder to try and resist. He was clawing at the arms with his hands but it did nothing as the hands simply grabbed onto arms, holding him in a painful position. He was pulled into the mirror without much resistance as all his limbs were bound.

His screams were silenced.

[Sen]

Sato Hashimoto // Warakuma Streets

The student accepted his handshake firmly, and introduced himself as Rui Shinichi, whom was a first-year starting tomorrow. A new kid, huh? Sato released the handshake after a few seconds and he shifted his posture to be a little more casual. There was pretty much no reason to try to impress a first-year, besides making sure they look up to him, and even then there was no reason to be a hard-ass.

“When did you move here? I started going to Warakuma High half-way through the school year last year.” While he thought himself being a bit invasive for only having met the guy, the question was for some reason high-priority in his mind. “And I didn’t know Warakuma had an amusement park too. I really doubt it’s anything spectacular if I only now heard about it, but fairs like that are bound to have some good stands to kill time at.” An amusement park sounded like something that’d be fun to go to that day. The thing was, however, that Sato was pretty broke due to his recent investments in archery equipment, so it wouldn’t be very possible to do all that much at the park without mooching off of those he went with.

Sato quickly glanced at Noboru, who seemed occupied with some kid. “Were you interested in going at all? I’ve nothing else to do today, so if you don’t either and you want to go, we could.”

[Cuco]

Any hope for a chance to interrogate Kami after the park owner finally left quickly faded when Sachiko experienced a sharp pain in her temples. The hell was going on today? Ayano, this creepy park owner, and now spontaneous migraines? It seemed as though all three of them had experienced the same bout of pain. But hey, wouldn't you know it, before she had the chance to say a word, they were being led away to speak with yet another of these carnival nutcases. And this one wanted them to watch the house of mirrors for no particular reason. Sachiko was in half a mind to stop him and demand an explanation, but he just ran away. It was like people were just trying to bewilder her at every turn. And then, a scream came from within the house. Kami seemed to instinctually decide they would have to go in and help. Sachiko really wanted to protest, but then he started dragging them both by the hand again!

At this point, Sachiko really was suppressing the urge to just stop everyone and rant and rave about how ridiculous this all was. But, if someone really was in danger, she supposed they needed to try and do something. She would've preferred that they took the time to tell someone though. Maybe even call the police. Who knew what was going on in here? This place had been nothing but bizarre since they had come here, and she was feeling really unsettled in this blighted house of mirrors. Suddenly, Kami stopped, making Sachiko squeak a little. She hadn't been expecting it at all, and being in here had put her on edge. He claimed to have seen something odd. Sachiko hadn't. She didn't want to investigate either. She was going to suggest they all leave right now. And then....something reached out and grabbed Kami. "What the fuck!?" Was the first thing to come bellowing out of Sachiko's mouth. She had little time to process the sight before she felt herself being grabbed from behind. "WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUU-" She screamed, until was pulled all the way back into the mirror.

And then she was gone.

[SwordfishKnight]

Noboru laughed at Teiji's comment, and responded with a poor joke of his own. "I mean hey come on, if you did lose the ball and your dad killed you, you wouldn't have to worry about losing them anymore eh? Anyways nice to see you around Teiji. Hey, since you're not doing anything, how about coming with us to the amusement park?"

Turning to the rest of the group, Noboru spoke out. "Hey, if you guys need any money, just ask. I really don't mind. I mean, having semi-popular retired celebrities as parents kind of helps income. If any of are short on funds, i'm the man to ask. I kind of just get money thrown my way. Anyways let's head on to the park. Waddya guys say?"

[Sho Minazuki]

Rui Shinichi | Warakuma Streets > Warakuma Amusement Park

"It's... Hm", arrival at the amusement park told them that it wasn't much really. Nothing seemed to really stick out, and since it was a Sunday it had a fair amount of traffic, but otherwise there wasn't much. Noboru kind of offered to buy tickets, Rui took him up on that offer, mostly since he didn't bring any extra money with him. There were a bunch of things here, the house of mirrors, haunted house, a small rollercoaster, bumper cars, those tea pot thingies that spin a lot, there was also a ferris wheel. It had pretty much the necessary attractions, but it was surprisingly easy to miss this amusement park, even with the damn ferris wheel.

"It's quaint", he finally decided. Amusement parks were woefully out of fashion these days, only large ones like Disney World were really popular, but small local ones were only good for families with younger kids, or just a general place to hang out.

"What ride should we go on first?", he asked the other two. Honestly he wanted to get a drink and something fried, but it seemed like a waste to him to just eat while he was here.

[Zane620]

Teiji Ishihara

Teiji chuckled at Noboru's joke, as that would be true. A dead man can't lose anything. Teiji listened to Noboru's offer which Teiji considered and thought about yet ultimately decided to tag along with them. So even though Noboru offered to pay since had had rather famous parents, Teiji himself wouldn't accept any handouts even if it came from friends. So he tagged along with them all the way to the amusement park, upon arrival Teiji looked around at the rides noticing some rides from his childhood, that he always loved to go on. yet along the way the one that became most popular was the house of mirrors, Teiji himself wasn't so sure how that could beat any of the other rides.

When the new guy he didn't know asked which ride to go on Teiji grinned proudly before speaking. "Well my favorite ride when I came here was always the rollercoaster, nothing can beat that ride in my opinion, although I think most people these days would disagree with that. Oh yeah for the two that don't know my name, it's Teiji Ishihara, I hope we get along."

[Crimmy]

Shu Isamu ~ Warakuma Streets

Sitting on a bench and watching pedestrians quietly walk past was, surprisingly, one of Isamu's favoured activities. There was no hockey to be played; no homework that had yet to be dealt with ... what else could a bored, companionless teenager truly do? Study other people, it seemed. He had, in the hour in which he had been lying back against the bench, eyes subtly glancing at everyone nearby, discovered that Mrs. Aikawa from down the street was engaged in an affair with Mr. Nobushige, the butcher; one of his upperclassmen (he thought the older boy was named ... Yoshihiro?) was a remarkably good cross-dresser; and the young man from Kyoto seemed to have a vested interest in the old Gachapon machine. It was all very fascinating, seeing what people did in their spare time. Although it was unlikely he would reveal such information. Isamu didn't really want to be seen as a voyeur.

He yawned. It wasn't like he could spend all his time watching people. There was so much more to do ... except he had no idea what exactly he wanted to do. Usually he would be at school, practicing his hockey skills, but there wasn't anyone there.

"Man," said the half-Chinese boy finally. "Actually enjoying myself is harder than I thought."

[Sen]

Sato Hashimoto // Warakuma Streets
After briefly talking to the boy, Noboru and guy who kicked a soccer ball at him seemingly agreed to the idea of going to the amusement park, and Noboru even offered to pay for any expenses. Rui seemed okay with the idea as well, and as quickly as that the group abruptly changed its course to the amusement park. Sato wasn’t particularly opposed to the idea but it definitely wasn’t how he thought he was going to spend his afternoon, let alone with two more people he barely knew.

“Yeah, I guess we’re going to this amusement park now,” he said to no one in particular. As soon as he turned on his heel to start walking in a new direction, Sato felt the phone in his pocket vibrate repeatedly. Sensing that it was a call and not a dozen texts in a row, Sato flipped it out and stared at the screen for a few moments. Unknown number. After hesitating for a few more seconds he picked the call up and held it to his ear. There was no immediate sound. “Hello? You’ve reached Sato Hashimoto…”

A familiar voice cut him off before he could continue. “Sato? Sato. Are you doing anything right now?” It was Akiko. A sudden flood of questions consumed Sato’s mind.

“First of all, Akiko-san,” Sato hesitated a bit. Why did she want to know if he was busy? Was she… was she interested in him at all? “what was with the notes? Why did we meet out of school?” It was adding up. There was possible evidence. Was Akiko calling to confess a taboo love for him?!

There were several moments of rustling sounds, as if she were getting off a train or something. “I take it you’re busy then, Sato.” And with that, Akiko hung up without even saying good-bye. Why had she emphasized the pronunciation of his name so much? Sato felt a little light-headed regardless. The idea of a first love consumed him, despite how little he had thought about it prior to this. Sato, however, forced himself to refocus his mind. It was probably not a confession of intimate feelings and something was definitely afoot. But, the amusement park was definitely not an optimal place to mull over Akiko’s words, and Sato decided that he would try not to think much about it until he got home.

---

Sato Hashimoto // Warakuma Amusement Park

Once they arrived at the park, Sato took a moment to observe it all. It was what was to be expected from amusement park in the town the size of Warakuma. The only thing that really caught Sato’s attention was a ferris wheel and a rollercoaster. He had never actually been on a rollercoaster, but there was just something about it that made him uncomfortable just thinking about riding it. People weren’t really supposed to go upside-down, and the idea of it malfunctioning at that part was just too much for him to bear. And as they approached the entrance, Sato ran a hand over his pocket. He didn’t even bring his wallet, not that it’d be of any use with his lack of funds.

It wasn’t until Rui had asked a question did Sato even remember that he was with others. He pivoted on his heel to face him and the others. That kid from the park was there, who just introduced himself as Teiji Ishihara. Sato thought about it for a bit before blurting out his first idea: “The ferris wheel. It’s a staple, and we should go on it first.” He stated it in a very matter-of-fact way, like it was a rule they had to go on the ferris wheel first. After which, Sato met eyes with the new kid and put on a friendly smile. “Teiji, I’m Sato Hashimoto. Third-year student at Warakuma High. Nice to meet you.”

Sato shoved his hands into his pockets and leaned back, only then realizing the appetizing smells wafting around in the air. After a bit more consideration, he looked back at them, realizing that he might be wrong about what he said. “Or if you guys wanted to eat right away, we could do the intense rides first. I bet it wouldn’t be very good to go on a roller coaster with a full stomach, would it?”

[Pudding]

'Let me show you around, so you don't have to rely on us'
"Oh most certainl-aaaah" Her cousin had grabbed her wrist and pulled her along meaning to show her the many differen't places in the town. Many people along the way gossiped about the duo, rather loudly.

'What a strange couple'
'What a weird girl'
'Clearly she's not from here, I'd never let my daughter dress like that...'

After passing by a few people, Chiaki ripped her wrist from her cousins grasp.
"Hya! I'm sorry, but I can walk on my own! I don't need you to escort me like some infant!" Her face became red with anger. Chiaki took a deep breath and returned to normal. "I apologise, please, continue escorting me, but refrain from holding my hand."
The duo continued their walk.
> It was going to an interesting day

> Chiaki looked at the various stores in delight, thankfully she had brought along various ammounts of yen.
"Yaku-kun! Lets get some sweets! It'll be my treat! Ahehehe!" Chiaki giggled at the pun she made, she beleived it was quite clever.
She selected on the finest of the sweets, a 'Caramel Rose Queen Slice'. Essentially, its a rich chocolate filled with caramels, upon the slice are small sweet roses made from frosting. "This is absolutely amazing! I never would have guessed they would sell it here! Yaku-kun! What would you like? Please, do not hesitate, I have quite a sum of money." She smiled and waited for him to make a selection.

[Haru Nyan]

Ayano: Somewhere in Warakuma
After waiting a for a few minutes, Ayano's cellphone started to play a soft melody, her ringtone if you will and she opened to see that she had received a reply! To her surprise, there was no sense of ill will, hesitation or anything of the sort in the reply.
"Oh, hey Ayano! Sachiko, Kato, and I are at an Amusement Park at the moment. Why, is something going on, or do you want to hang out with us?"
Amusement Park?! The girl furrowed her eyebrows and pouted, why of all places did it have to be an amusement park?! It's crowded with people and a place she would rather not visit during a weekend. Picking up the wooden sword in her hands, the girl rushed all the way to the amusement park, muttering all the way.

---

Ayano: Amusement Park
Ayano stared in shock at the long line she had to wait in...It would take her hours to get in! She had thought about ditching the plan entirely but looked at the sword in her hand and decided to do it for him! She waited....and waited....and waited...Until it was her turn in line and she rejoiced. She paid the entrance fee and wore the wristband. Once she was inside, she sat at a bench and took out her cellphone once more.
"Kami, I'm here. Where are you guys?"
And she waited once more, but a reply never came...She sat in place for hours, fiddled with the sword she bought, bought ice cream for herself and even rode one of the coasters. No reply. The girl felt both worried and irritated. She demanded an answer to their whereabouts.
"Ugh, seriously...Where are they?!"
Ayano said angrily while stomping her foot. She wandered aimlessly around the park for a while to look for them herself and even went to the numerous attractions and rides, but to no avail as she found herself in the bench again.
She was about to give up...Then she realized she had forgotten about one place...The Mirror House...The girl got up and approached the main attraction of the park.
When she got in she exclaimed,
"Kami, you in here? Sachiko? Kato??
But there was no response.

[SwordfishKnight]

Upon reaching the park Noboru reached into his back pocket. Pulling out his wallet, he took out an indescribable amount of money, shoving it into Sato's hands and quickly telling him that it was for him, Rui and Teiji. Without a proper goodbye, Noboru took off. Wandering around the food area, Noboru started stuffing himself, hungry from his morning jog. Looking around the areas around him, Noboru made eye contact with a man running some kind of mirror house. "Ugh. That guy is full on creepy. Who would let him run an attra..." Noboru quickly stopped himself, realizing how much he was sounding like his older siblings. "Well I hope the other three are having fun. I wouldn't be able to ride many rides with them most likely. Oh well. That's the kinda trouble you face when you're short." Noboru sat up from the bench, looking around for something to do.

-Generic Guard : Warakuma Amusement Park-
As Ayano was peaking into the mirror house, a towering man blocked her view as he stepped in front of her. His arms were crossed, and he looked a bit irritated at the girl as it seemed like she was going to enter in. He stared down at her with a stern look before speaking.

"Excuse me miss, but maybe you should check out the other rides or something," the man said, eyeing the wooden sword in her hands. "Also, you should probably dispose of that or something - you don't want people to get the wrong idea. It may be wooden, but still."

"If you're looking for someone, they are probably not in the mirror house. Best guess is that they are on another ride or they left you behind or something... Heck, maybe they lied to you straight out and left you." The man took a quick look around the area before turning his head back to Ayano. "Look miss, can you please go, now?"

-The Owner : Warakuma Amusement Park-
As the group of high schoolers were talking, a strange young gentleman strode up to the three. There was a hat covering his bald head, and he smiled as he approached the three. "Ah greetings to you four, sorry if I'm interjecting or anything," he said to the four, before shaking his head, annoyed at something. "My my, I haven't even introduced myself, how rude... But then again..." The strange man began rambling to himself on what he should do, before returning his attention to the four.

"Sorry about that... Uhm, I'm the establishment of this wonderful owner... I mean, gah!" The man brought a hand to his face before mumbling something to the four. "I'm the owner of this wonder establishment you're in right now. I hope your enjoying yourselves, uhm.. What's your names? I usually like to know my customers names so I can give them a warm welcome back to the park, lets see..." The owner begins mumbling about different peoples names, before snapping back to attention, extending his hand out to Rui.

"Erm, anyways, sorry about my rambling. Pleased to meet you, erm..."

Rui Shinichi | Warakuma Amusement Park

"That... That's a lot of money...", he said, looking at the wad of cash that Noboru had handed Sato. It was for all of them to spend, so he voted that they divvy it up evenly and everyone does their own thing. Rui was going to buy food, he saw a fairly nice stand for takoyaki a ways back near the house of mirrors. Also Noboru took off for some reason... Before the group could start dividing the cash, a man approached them, hat covering what seemed to be no hair, also wearing a nice suit, he obviously wasn't just anyone by the sharp dress code he was using. He introduced himself as the owner, and was rather cheerful about it too. Rui standing at the forefront of the group took the man's handshake. It felt rude to decline, so he accepted.

"I'm Rui Shinichi...", he responded politely, returning with a firm handshake.

Warakuma Streets

Akemi's ears practically twitched upon hearing a certain phrase, causing the shopping-addled teenager to quickly turn her gaze towards its source. Someone wanted enjoyment? Well, there was an obvious solution to that, and she was going to provide it, like the helpful council president that she was! ...Nevermind that this was outside school on a Sunday, a President's work was never done! Kind of. Well, anyway.

The source of the comment seemed to be a lazy-looking boy just a few feet away, lying on a park bench. Her left eye immediately twitched upon seeing such a shamefully lazy display of not-doing-anything-remotely-related-to-work-or-studying, and from someone who looked to be of high-school age, too! Why were so many people desperate to waste their time like this?!

"If you want enjoyment, try planning your future a bit more," Akemi stated in a blunt manner, hands on hips and ignoring the plastic beg attached to her hand, "honestly, falling asleep out here like this will get you nowhere! Think of your precious grades!"

Teiji Ishihara

He stare wide eyed at the money Noboru casually pulled out and handed to Sato, do all rich kids carry around that much money like its a normal thing? Yet Noboru then left which confused Teiji as he wasn't going to accept any of the money Noboru gave out and would just let the other two use it, although it was a tad more awkward for Teiji. He knew Noboru, yet didn't know these two very well. Suddenly a man wearing a hat and a nice suit, despite being at a fair where one could get dirty at any second.The man said he was the owner which would explain the suit, and Teiji just watched Rui shake the mans hand, while Teiji wondered where Noboru ran off too.

-The Owner : Warakuma Amusement Park-
After he finished shaking Ruis hand, he withdrew his hand, and didn't shake anyone elses. Instead when someone introduced themselves tipped his hat. It wasn't long before a worker came and whispered something into the owners ear. He nodded to the worker before turning back to the group with a serious but irritated look on his face.

"Sorry, but there's something I need to deal with at the moment... Anyways, I hope you enjoy your time," he said to the group, shining a smile to them as he began following the worker somewhere. He waved to the group as he merged into the crowds of people, and disappeared from sight. No one could find the strange man or the worker if they tried.

As he disappeared from sight, Rui was struck with a horrible, splitting headache.

-Yakudatsu : A Sweets Shop in Warakuma-
After showing her around town, he watched as she took Yaku into a sweets shop. He took a look around the place, mainly at the sweets available to him. Although they looked tempting to the eye, Yaku restrained himself from getting one and turned to Chiaki as she offered to pay.

"Eh, I don't want anything Chiaki, however it would be rude if I made you pay since you're a guest here."

Before she could object, Yaku was already at the counter paying for the 'Caramel Rose Queen Slice.' As soon as he payed for the slice, he showed it to her grining a bit. "Here you go Chiaki! This is what you wanted, right?" Yaku anxiously awaited her response, hoping he didn't procure the incorrect sweet.
