a new landmark appears ... !

[fuckyousoleil]

[On this cool April evening, there appears to be a new fixture in camp, located right by the fairgrounds. Off to the side sits a large opening, with a sign over it reading: "TUNNEL OF LOVE" in fancy red script. The sign itself is further decorated with hearts and a couple of horn-blowing cherubs; someone's really bought into the Valentine's Day

How charmingly idyllic.

[fuckyousoleil]

Isn't it?

[gamebreaker]

Oh, certainly.
I can hardly think of anything that would have been a greater improvement to the atmosphere than a saccharine display of cliched romance.

[fuckyousoleil]

You can check your cynicism at the door.

[gamebreaker]

Unfortunately, it's not something I can shrug off as easily as a coat.

[fuckyousoleil]

Your loss!

[gamebreaker]

Yes, my lack of appreciation for true appeal of riding around in a bird-shaped boat to no effect will no doubt cause me profound heartbreak eventually.
Somehow I'll deal with the loss.

[fuckyousoleil]

Whatever.

[gamebreaker]

I'm sure there will be others more enthusiastic about the prospect.

[bethecoolkid]

quaint as inbred carnies and sideshow freaks
think theres any way riding this wont lead into some kind of obvious trap

[gamebreaker]

There's always a chance.
Otherwise it would be too predictable.
I'm not sure I find the dubious appeal of the experience to be worth the risk, though.

[bethecoolkid]

you mean your first instinct when faced with an obvious setup isnt to just jump in while planning out how to disassemble the trap and figure out everything about the trapmaker so you can use it against them
sorry rose but i just dont know if i can believe something that crazysounding

[gamebreaker]

I know it's difficult to fathom.
But I prefer to avoid traps entirely and focus my efforts more directly, when possible.
And this one does not appear to be terribly tricky to avoid.

[bethecoolkid]

so thats how it is
those psycho carnies go through all this work to get meat for their mystery burgers and you just blow them off
god forbid a trap is below the queen of words attention
have some responsibility for the inbred hick foodchain rose jegus

What Is It Exactly

[gamebreaker]

A Tunnel of Love?
It's an old carnival ride in which couples ride in boats through dark tunnels for a short while.
It's meant to be a romantic outlet for those lacking other, less obviously constructed opportunities to spend time together.
