[OPEN] Love Shack

[soul_mods]

Characters: OPEN
Location: Nocturne Bazaar
Rating: Gen… Maybe. Don't do anything you wouldn't tell your mother about!
Time: April 3rd, April 4th
Description: The "attraction" was quite the hit last time. Who will you find yourself shacked up with now?

The island the Bazaar sits on is certainly big, but who thought they'd be able to fit an entire river on top of it? The line for the ride is just as large as you'd think it'd be, and it's been split in two with a tall screen to prevent people in both sides from seeing the other.

The staffers operating the line don't seem to care about making it grow; they're literally pulling people unlucky enough to wander too close and shoving them in a line before they can protest. You could try to get away, but the rest of the crowd's pushing impatiently forward and before long, you're up.

You might as well just get it over with. Hopefully the company's nice.


((ooc; this log takes place over both the first day and the second day. please use the subject line indicator [ NAME | DATE | OPEN/CLOSED ] and keep in mind that during the second day, characters will likely be under the effects of growing madness!))

"Oh, you're right," she acknowledged, seeing the boats over a few shoulders. "Good thing we aren't with a group then."

... Holiday couldn't imagine Six with a group of people here.

And now they're next!

[sixthdeadliest]

Six balked for a moment, looking at Holiday. For some strange reason, he smelled a setup.

"You're sure about this one?"

[doc_holi]

She looked back to him curiously, yet still happy. "Why? What's wrong?"

So far, Six had been letting her pick where they go, but she was perfectly open with whatever he wanted to do, too.

[sixthdeadliest]

"It seems fairly...intimate...to be riding in a small boat together," Six pointed out. "Are you sure you're all right with that?"

He really had no other excuse. There were people behind them that were annoyed and grumbling about them just getting in the boat.

[doc_holi]

... You're asking her that?

"Are you?" she asked him and just letting the grumblers grumble on. "I'm fine with it, but if you're not, there's plenty of other things to do around here. Though, I can't imagine being much closer than when I'm in Weapon form."

[sixthdeadliest]

"...You have a point," Six acknowledged. He motioned for her to enter first.

[doc_holi]

Holiday paused for a second, wondering if he was sure, before going ahead and getting in the boat. Even though she was willing to let it go if Six had been too uncomfortable with it, she was still excited about this little ride.

[sixthdeadliest]

Well, this outing was really for her, after all. He had no real preference on where to go.

He could've done with a bit more personal space in this boat, though.

[doc_holi]

Holiday knew that Six didn't care for people getting into his little personal bubble, so she had scooted herself to the end of it. It didn't do much to help him, but it was better than being on top of him.

She'd just have to think of something to make up for this later. Maybe they can find something to eat?

[sixthdeadliest]

Six appreciated the fact that she was trying to give him space, but there really wasn't much space for that. His knees kept brushing hers.

He then looked ahead as they passed into the darkened tunnel, seeing pink and red lights. The decorations--lots of hearts and cupids--come into view.

"...Something tells me this isn't just any boat ride," Six noted.

[doc_holi]

For a moment, Holiday looks around at the decorations in confusion. These were odd for a boat ride through a tunnel. There was something oddly familiar about it that was just sticking out at her, but she just couldn't put her finger on it.

When she finally did, Holiday sure didn't voice her theories about this ride. Instead, she just stared ahead with wide eyes and a red face.

Oops.

Going to have to do a lot to make this one up.

That icon is my favorite. XD

[sixthdeadliest]

"What is this anyway?" Six asked, looking around in confusion. To be honest, it looked like the Valentine's Day section of a department store had thrown up all over the place.

Feel fortunate, Holiday, that Six didn't recognize the Tunnel of Love.

XDD Mine too

[doc_holi]

"I'm sure it's nothing." Lies. All lies. What he doesn't know won't hurt him.

If he did know, she could only imagine how bad it would be.

[sixthdeadliest]

Somehow, Six didn't quite buy it. Still, it didn't seem to be anything more harmful than gaudy, eye-burning decorations.

Which also liked to dangle far too low. Six ducked out of the way of one Cupid that almost smacked him in the forehead.

"They need to add a sign to their rides: You must be this short to ride."

[doc_holi]

She actually did chuckle at that. "I think this one is more for teenagers anyway."

Adults in the tunnel of love was simply not a good idea.

[sixthdeadliest]

"Small boat, close quarters, dark area? I can see how they'd take advantage of it. Annoying decorations and all," Six noted, eyebrow raised.

[doc_holi]

Well, at least he had some idea of what went on in here... To bad he didn't realize that it was meant for that sort of thing.

"How long is this ride?" Maybe the water isn't as deep as she thinks.

[sixthdeadliest]

"Your guess is as good as mine," Six noted with a shrug. "Though at the rate we're going, it'll be a while before we make it through."

Really, were the people running this ride making it drift along so slowly on purpose?

[doc_holi]

YES, SIX. THEY WERE.

Well, she could take comfort in the fact that he was completely oblivious to what this was meant to be, so it was fine. If only she could tell her brain to stop feeling awkward...

Okay. Time to make up some sort of conversation that has nothing to do with all of this... Uhh.... Dammit, they talk too much.

[sixthdeadliest]

Each passing minute was giving Six more time to put the pieces together. Look out, Holiday.

"At least this is better than those gondolas in Venice," Six noted aloud with nothing better to say. "Always hated those things each time I had to go to Italy."

[doc_holi]

No, Six, don't put the pieces together, you'll regret it.

Though, at least the new topic caught her interest. "Really? Why?"

She had been to Italy and even Venice a few times, but she never had the chance to ride on one of them. Always working.

[sixthdeadliest]

"Too tipsy. And you do not want to go into that water. It's like swimming in a sewer."

He leaned back in his seat a bit before ducking under another cheesy heart.

"Ended up in the canals once. Never again."

[doc_holi]

Holiday laughed at that image, though she knew she shouldn't. That does sound horrible.

"I think they essentially are the sewers. It's basically a flooded city."

She chuckled again. "I'm sorry. That must have been terrible."

[sixthdeadliest]

"It's fine. You're not the only one who laughed. IV about laughed himself sick when he saw it happen."

Their target had almost gotten away though. That had been the chief annoyance.

[doc_holi]

She covered her eyes while laughing about that one. It wasn't often he mentioned the others, so Holiday did file that away for later. However the story had been too funny to not enjoy in the moment.

"I imagine he did."
