Festival: Doomtrain

[Otaku]

[Festival Attraction : Doomtrain]

A bright, sunny day at the Alice Academy. Blue skies, white fluffy clouds floating in the sky - and a happy feeling in the air, for the Festival has begun! The first day of the Alice Academy Annual Festival has finally arrived, after months and months of planning by the staff. Several events were held during the festival, and this year, a new set has been created by the teachers. The students will finally get to enjoy themselves, after ALL that waiting. In an area within the Academy, there was another attraction... : The Doomtrain

The Doomtrain was an amusement ride, or more, a terrifying one. It was a rollercoaster with amazing twists and turns, and of course - edges that seem as if you would fall off. Of course, no roller coaster ride would be complete without the spicing. The place of the ride has been said to be haunted, and the ride has ghosts and demons for your 'viewing pleasure'.

OOC: From now on, me will RP using the 3rd person POV.

"Alice Festival? Ugh. You've got to be kidding me."

Sarcastically talking to herself while checking out the attractions, Sara Kara Lara, or as her brothers and friends call her, "Kara-chan" strolled alongside of School Field where the festival was being held.
That night, she wore her stylish hand-made clothes, an off-shoulder black wool sweater, with the length down to her hips over a red pleated miniskirt. Covering up her legs are a pair of black stocking just for the sake of it, and then a pair of high-heeled boots, elevating her height a few inches. On her head, a flipped backwards bouree had sat, making her layered hair in a messy-like fly away finish. That outfit made her even more cocky-looking but still unique. After all, no one dared to criticize her fashion sense.

The students seemed to be having their own version of "fun", eating cotton candies, running around like hobos towards the rides. Meh, this was all too boring...too boring for her.

With the long bangs brushing along the sides of her head, she walked against the wind, throwing evil glances at everyone who passes by her. A real meanie, that's what everyone recognized her as.

"Let's check it out!"

"Yeah, I heard the Doomtrain was opened!" A middle school boy dashed towards the attraction behind Kara, shoving her off aside forcefully. It was very painful since he hit her in a very vital part.

"Uh! How VAGUE!!!"She shouted her favorite expression when she's getting fed up. The boys didn't notice her though, and that made her even more pissed off.

Feeling her blood boil, the girl with charming and hypnotic eyes threw a death glare at them. A thought came up her mind and she decided to have some real fun.

"Why not? It's gonna be sweet revenge for me." She said with a chuckle, walking towards the attraction with a naughty naughty smirk on her glossed lips.

[michael]

Alright, so perhaps Michael is not the most social of people, but what's a thirteen year old boy to do when there is a festival happening practically in his own backyard? Why, join in of course.
It wasn't that he didnt try to resist, but all that food? and all those attractions? Michael got dressed, putting on what he liked to call his funeral attire. Black shirt, black trousers, a black leather jacket, and even black boots. He looked at his reflection in the mirror, and deciding that he looked sufficiently gloomy enough he stepped out of his room, and into the festival.
Michael walked all along the streets, sampling the various food items and trying on the occasional games. He knew that he was supposed to be finding out ways to weaken the academy, not having the time of his life. But he'd convinced himself that this was all done for the sake of research. Yes research, he thought to himself as he popped another candy into his mouth.

Now then, for the sake of research, surely he has to go on one of the main attractions shouldn't he? Most of the attractions so far has held little fancy to him. The tunnel of love? if it was called the tunnel of lust he might be tempted to go. But after only a few minutes of searching, Michael finally found his ride.
There it was, in all its neon lit glory

The Doomtrain

A ride after my own heart, Michael chuckled to himself. He caught himself and stopped giggling like a little child, put on his best grim reaper look, and stalked purposefuly towards the ride. Stopping now and again to glare at a random person who crossed his path.

[Sara]

After searching for the dreaded faces of the guys who shoved her off, she finally found them, excitedly getting tickets for the ride. She smirked, put on the best innocent face she can think of and approached them.

She had no doubts that playing this little game would have flaws or that it wouldn't work. She was actually convinced that she has these natural "human pheromone". Yeah, Kara is really THAT spoiled of a naughty girl, since her daddy and big brothers babies her so much.

"Hiya senpai..."She smiled at him sweetly, both her dimples dug the middle of her fair cheeks. The guy then looked at her steadily, blinking twice of the apparition of a "kid" before him, technically blocking his way of the line.

"Ahahaha, what do you want?" He laughed fakely while raising his brows.

"Well...you did something to me a while ago..."She took a grab of her hair and twirled it, just for the sake of doing it. Then, she threw him a glance directly to his eyes, her Alice being activated at that very moment. "Getting sleepy?"She hummed the lullaby tune from the movie, Prince of Egypt.

"What is she doing??Why is she looking at me like that??" The young man thought as he started sweating heavily. "Is she hypnotizing me? Weird...I should play along just to make her happy..." He then started acting like a sleepy drunkard.

"Good!"Kara snapped her finger on his face. "Now go and start belly dancing after five minutes. It'll do your stomach good! And of course, for the spicing up of this boring place." She ordered him, then walked away laughing out loud.

"OOOkkaaay?" The guy was left in a total shock.

"Hey dude, What're doing!?"The other guy pulled him.

"Meh...weird little girl's using her Alice on me."

"Haha, it's a good thing you have an Alice Shield Alice."

"Yeah, if her Alice didn't bounce back, I might end up doing a belly dance after five minutes...What a relief!" And both of them started walking away laughing.

"That felt good." Kara whispered to herself, smiling naughtily now. Little does she know that she did the biggest mistake all her life--Because from the place opposite from where she stood, the operator stood in a deep trance, about to do a looping belly dance five minutes later.

[michael]

Michael stood in line a bit impatiently, he spotted a girl talking to a few of the older boys and looked away. Wrangling for a date maybe? he thought to himself, looking around he saw the operator in the ride's control box looking rather serious. Michael didnt think operating this ride would require so much concentration. Ah well, he thought at least the man's doing his job. He looked forward and saw that the line hadn't moved at all since, he was starting to get annoyed.

Bloody thing, he thought why cant the move any faster? he had thought about using his alice, but what would that accomplish? panic? no bloody way, they'll probably end up shutting down the ride. And Michael's not going anywhere untill he gets a ride on it.

After a few more minutes of fidgeting and glaring, Michael was at last standing in front of the ticket counter. "one child please" he said in a flat tone.

Strapping himself in with the other riders, he heard one of the ride operators giving them instructions. "keep your hands inside at all times, do not attempt to remove the restraining device, do not step off until the ride has come to a complete stop, do not..."
The man's voice faded away as Michael turned his attention elsewhere. Looking out, he spotted the girl who had been talking to the boys earlier, he notived she had ....something on her head, is that a hat? he wondered.

Just then the ride began to move and he put every other thought away

[Sara]

Kara ended up being seated besides a weird-looking boy, all clad in black. He had spikey crimson hair, which reminded her of blood a lot. But one thing's for sure though, he was cute. And really CUTE. Wait, why is she getting that feeling? Is it possible to think that a person of your same gender as 'cute"?

She caught him look at her for a few seconds, probably thinking of how brilliant she is for dressing up that way. Anyways, the ride moved on. She took of her hat and placed it inside her ba and then looked at her watch. It's three minutes 'till the weird belly dancing. She just can't imagine how that guy would do a belly dance while being stuck on a seat while the ride was going on a rapid motion. Well, that's why she came here to see, didn't she?

A few seconds more, and the ride started to accelerate. The students started to get excited but she just raised an eyebrow.

"What is the dealy'o??" She found herself whispering.

Even before the ride enters a dark tunnel, she started to search for the two middle school boys, whom luckily ended up seating...in front of them. She looked at her watch again and there's only a minute 'till Belly dancing time.

[michael]

Alright so perhaps this wasnt such a good idea after all Michael said to himself. He was getting a bit queasy, probably from all the food that he had before he'd gotten on the ride. Serves you right for being a glutton, he thought. Then all thoughts perished for a few seconds as the ride went into a barrel roll.
As it leveled out, Michael risked a glance to his side at the girl sitting next to him, who, he had to admit, was actually rather cute now that he's gotten a closer look at her.
Much to his annoyance she didnt look bothered at all, in fact she looked excited. Not wanting to look bad in front of her, Michael swallowed and put on a brave face.

He saw that the girl was looking at the boys sitting in front of them,and recognised them as the ones that she had spoken to earlier. But then another roll came and he was forced to push all thoughts about the girl out of his head, as he concentrated on keeping his meal inside.

Michael risked a glance at his watch and saw that it would be a few more minutes before the ride ended. he thanked all the deities up there and sat back, now that the ride is coming to and end he felt a little bit more relaxed.

[Sara]

30 second to go...29...28...

Kara watched the seconds hand of her wrist watch closing in to the number, twelve with a smirk on her face. She actually thought that her idea of this revenge was really really weird. Where in hell did she get the idea of hypnotizing a person to do a belly dance while riding a roller-coaster? She would LOVE to see this whole gag she tried pulling up, after all, she was that type of a girl.

The ride started slowing down, just when the students thought the the ride was suppose to end...but suddenly, they felt that they are going up. In a few more seconds, they're already in a high place, getting ready to fall on a 50-foot drop-off. Looks like the belly dancing will be done during the most horryfying part of the right. Yup, the guy who shoved off little miss meanie there is doomed in the Doomtrain.

5...4...3...

The operator started the countdown back at the station. And after two more numbers, he started his thing, still in deep trance and all, completely ignoring his job in keeping the coaster carts on track. Everyone looked at him with widened eyes and watched the weird and uncalled for event unfold in front of their eyes.

"Huh? Where's the belly dancing!?" Kara shouted, checking her clock once more while staring at the guys in front of her with a frown.

"Eh?" The two guys turned their heads.

Aaaaand in a split second, the cart finally reached the summit and without warning, it dashed down towards the ground beneath the metal tracks safely--well, that was what everyone thought that would happen. Everyone got excited and started screaming their heads off, well, not everyone--Kara, and maybe the guy besides her--didn't. Before the dashing down, Kara remembered hearing loud "cracking sounds". Her mind totally got its attention off the belly dancing and to the part where the sound was coming from.

"What was...going--"

DUUUUGGGGGGSSSSSSHHHHH!!!!

OOC: *feeling highly hyper-ish tonight* Okay, I know it's weird and it's sort of childishly impossible but I can't think of a way to get the carts in trouble so please bear with the thingies. XDDDD

[michael]

The queasiness was starting to come back, and the amount of screaming really didnt help at all, but at the very least as soon the cart makes the plunge, the ride will soon be over. This was what Michael was thinking when the screams suddenly turned to shouts of confusion. Huh?

He looked down, he looked to the sides, he looked to the back, and he looked to the front. Nope, no plunge here, none of that feeling light thing happening. they werent moving at all, which was actually quite pleasant compared to what he's just been through, but what is this? Michael blinked and did a double take. Is that the operator? and what in the name of all that is sacred is he doing? Michael was confused now, it looked as if the man was doing a rather poor impersonation of a .....well he wasnt quite sure what it's supposed to be really.

Is the guy sick or something? He thought. Michael uttered a few choice words and tried to work out his situation. How is he going to get out of this one? Climb down? perhaps but he doesnt want to try it if he can get out by other means. he swore a few more times and looked to the girl sitting next to him about the operators performance.

" The um operator is........unwell, we might be up here for a bit" Then turned away to look at the man again

[Sara]

The cart in front of them continued rolling down to their heart's fun, while Kara's cart and and the cars behind hers were...STUCKED.

Okay, what the hell did just happen? And where is the belly dancing!?

Kara crossed her arms and pouted. How come this is happening to her!? Where in hell is her sweet revenge? What happened to her Hypnotic effect!? Why are the antagonists in her life enjoying the ride down there while she's up there?

" The um operator is........unwell, we might be up here for a bit" The guy besides her spoke. Upon hearing it, her eyes widened, then quickly turned her attention to the station below, overlooked by their beautiful view up there.

What is he doing!? Some weird...dan--Wait...I...I hypnotized the wrong person!

While thinking that, her face looked like shocked, with hand covering her mouth. Well, at least she knew the cause of her mistake. But...how did the guy surpass her Alice? UNLESS...it didn't have its effect on him--more like...he passed the hypnotism to the operator. And now, they're stuck 50 feet up from the ground with no hope of even going down.

The people below seemed to notice too, piling up in small crowds while pointing upwards.

"Oh no! We're gonna die! Were gonna die!" An elementary girl screamed on Kara's ear.

"Were doomed!" Another one shouted.

"HEEEEEEEELLLLP~~~"

"Cool! So this is why it's called Doomtrain!"

"Idiots." She mummbled. It's cool enough if she was stuck with BEARABLE people but why with a bunch of loud-mouthed losers? Is this heaven's punishment to her for being a bad girl!?

[michael]

There goes the screaming again, he thought. Michael was not at the moment, very pleased. He spotted someone down on the ground, directly below him looked up, pointed, and laughed towards his friends. You dirty bastard Michael said to himself, and proceeded to spit down at the person. He watched his liquid projectile make its way down, and smiled in satisfaction when he saw the man flinched and grabbed his eye.

Well, that sorted that problem out, now what to do with this screaming? Scream louder i suppose? he wondered. and unbuckled the restraints, stood up , and yelled.

" Right you lot SHUT UP!!" he drew breath and continued " Good, now, here's the question of the day for you, how are we getting down?" Michael actually meant how he himself was going to get down, but he didnt see the need them to know that he doesnt really care about what happens to them.

" The way I see it" he continued, "We've got three choices, we can either wait till the operator gets through his little routine, which might take a while by the looks of it, Sit up here nice and quiet like to be rescued, which is all well and good except that I need to pee, which brings me to choice number 3, we climb down and then i go to the john" He paused to looked them for a few seconds.

" Well? which is it then? "

[Sara]

The four people remained quiet as the boy made his speech. Quite impressive for Kara to see him have the gutts to stand up and lead the group to safety. Yeah, he's quite a guy, and for the record, he's man enough to shout to the world that he needs to attend to his nature call. The thought made her chuckle and shake her head gently. He's quite impatient, she assumed.

After hearing the speech, the "idiots", as Kara called them, continued their screeching.

"AAAAAAHHH!!!!! He's gonna eat me!"

"Number three! Umm...wait...I like the secon--no! the first! Uh..."

"Uhh...are you supposed to be the hero here?"

"Cool! I can here my echoe! choe...choe...choe......"

GREAT. Now she's even more pissed. Why her? Why not some other girl who deserved to be stucked here with a bunch of idiots!?

"If you four won't shut up, I'll make sure you won't talk again." She warned them in an "I'm-not-afraidto-do-it" sound. Unfolding her arms covered with her sweater's long sleeves, she gripped the protector holding her firmly to her seat and raised it up.

"You know, I just wanna get down. I don't care how or what it'll take to get me down." She spoke, turning her head towards the boy. "What'll it be, Mr. Hero?" She threw a glance at him, the kind of look that'd be classified in between "enticing" and "naughty".

[michael]

Michael was taken aback by the girl's sudden words, he had half expected her to react more or less similarly to the other kids there. but her reaction surprised him. What's more, the way she looked at him gave him a strange feeling. Just because Michael rarely showed any interest in the opposite sex doesnt mean that he is not interested. As a thirteen year old boy he would always be partial to extremely pretty girls, such as the lovely creature who is staring at him right now. He regained his composure, and cleared his throat, he stopped to throw a glare at the other students there and spoke up again.

" First of all, shut up or I really will eat you, and you mr. picky! I'll be the one making the choices here, YES I am the hero here, but only because the rest of you are so useless, and if you utter another word echo lad, I'll throw you off this thing myself so that we may ALL enjoy the echo you'll make as you scream all the way down! Now we will make like monkeys and start climbing down, you first boyo!" He said, pointing to the echo boy and he punctuated his remarks by fixing each and every one of them a glare with his blood red eyes.

"I'll need some help" Michael turned towards the girl standing next to him "You look like the least useless among them, you can help me get them down" he gestured that she should assist the other students as they begin to climb down.

"Dont look down so much you idiot! just hang on tight, place one foot after the other onto the railings and dont fall down. Otherwise they'll blame me, and I wont like that" he exclaimed as the first of the climbers stood on the side of the cart.
