Screw the height restrictions

[nobel_berserker]

Allenby hated the Sensoriums, a fact she was willing to make known to all and sundry whenever the topic came up. They gave her the absolute creeps... one of the benefits of being ejected from Starfighter Command was that she didn't have to show up for PT in the hated chambers every morning. If she had to go in there for any reason, she could yell

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... a little boy robot coming in for a landing in the middle of Awesome World. Since his brief exploration of the park with Cedric, Atom had never spotted anyone else here. Well, until now.

As Allenby ran along the rollercoaster track, Atom moved to catch up with her. He was pretty fast for a human-looking kid whose height maxed out at about 5'. "Hi! What're you doing?"

[nobel_berserker]

All right, well. Allenby wouldn't be surprised to find Atom in the park, but here? "Whoa! I'm out here for training but what are you doin' up here, kiddo?"

[tetsuwan_atom]

K... kiddo?

"Me? I'm just looking around. I went on some of the rides earlier." He smiled at her. "This place is pretty neat, huh? Whoever made these robots sure put a lot of time and effort into them."

[nobel_berserker]

"Yeah! It was some guy called Rock, I think," said Allenby, not slowing her pace. "It's one of my favorite spots in the City 'cause you can just do so much here."

She grinned over at him she isn't that much taller. "I'm Allenby. Who're you?"

[swordofdorn]

A tremendous robot-like figure is striding through awesome world, apparently confused by it. Seeing someone run up and down the rollercoaster tracks struck him as fairly odd, even by the standards of this entirely perverse (to his mind anyway) place.

And so, the Knight stops and stares at her for a while.

When Allenby reached her final lap, she leaped up, landed on the roof of the kiosk, and stretched her arms above her head. "Whew! Too bad I don't got a stopwatch," she said to nobody in particular, and then looked around and saw the...

...wow that guy was big. Or girl. "Hey there!" she called, hopping down. "Wow, I don't think you can fit in any of the rides with that armor."

[swordofdorn]

"I rather doubt it, yes." He looks at the young lady, quizzical.

"I don't understand the point of this place. What is it?"

[nobel_berserker]

"It's an amusement park, of course!" Allenby laughed. She figured the name itself would show what the point was. "That thing there is a roller coaster--you sit in a car and rocket around the track really fast! And up there is the drop tower! It shoots you right to the very top and then lets go, whoosh!"

[chosenlightchld]

Hikari blinked, walking through Awesome World a bit with Tailmon at her side. The two of them had never been here before, so they figured it would be smart to at least look around. Maybe take a bit of a break from training now that they knew why they were able to get Tailmon to evolve to Ultimate.

The young girl looked up at the roller coaster as she saw Allenby running up and down the track. "Allenby!?" Hikari shouted. "What are you doing?"

[nobel_berserker]

Allenby slowed to a stop at the top of the coaster, waving down at Hikari and Tailmon. "I'm just out for a run is all!" she called down, unable to help grinning at the look on the girl's face. "This thing makes an awesome track!"

In the kiosk, of course, the robot that operated the ride was looking as put out as a non-sentient utility 'bot could at the fact that someone was using the ride in a completely unintended and unsafe way.

[chosenlightchld]

"But what if the ride gets turned on by accident?" Hikari asked. "Or if you trip on a loose part of it and fall?"

She was just worried about you Allenby, that's all.

Tailmon sighed. "She probably knows what she's doing Hikari. Besides, it's not like we can talk her down from anything anyway."

[nobel_berserker]

"Naw, the robots are pretty good about that. They wig out about the safety every time I come up here." Wait, maybe that wasn't especially reassuring? But it was true! The safety systems were really good.

But she jumped down anyway to put Hikari's mind at ease, and anyway it was easier to have a conversation on ground level. "Honestly, fighters on my Earth do stuff like that all the time. It ain't a big deal."

What the hell was she doing on the rollertrack. Lash just STARED.

[nobel_berserker]

Oh, hey, was that a mobile afro walking around the park? Allenby winked and waved cheekily at Lash as she came around the bend in the track.

[things_go_boom]

THE BEST AFRO as far as Lash was concerned.

"YOU'RE KIDDING RIGHT?" she yelled out from her position. "YOU KNOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO USE A CART TO GO AROUND?"

Allenby don't be that stupid.

[nobel_berserker]

"WHAT'S THE POINT WHEN I'M FASTER ON MY OWN?" Allenby yelled back, giving Lash a thumbs-up. Okay, that one might be an exaggeration but who cares, really? Not anyone named Allenby Beardsley, that's for sure!

Howard is actively trying to dismantle a carousel. Because that is the appropriate response to a theme park. Also because he wants the pony with the stripey mane in the Warehouse for some project or other.

He gives Allenby a little wave as she passes. He's seen her on the Inn grounds but, surprisingly, hasn't had the chance to talk to her yet. "Hey. What's up?"

[nobel_berserker]

"Oh, hey there!" Allenby said, who had... actually been on her way to the carousel, which was so corny it was hard not to like it. She recognized the guy too. "Howard, right?"

Then she frowned. "...What are you doin' to the merry-go-round?"

[i_sell_drugs]

"Yeah. I live down the hall from you." He glances down at the screwdriver in his hand and the partially-dismantled pony. "Um. Maintenance?"

[nobel_berserker]

Allenby rolled her eyes. "Uh-huh. That doesn't look like maintenance," she said, walking over and inspecting the work he'd done so far on it. "Come on, what are you gonna do with a big wooden horse?" She was about equal parts incredulous and curious at the behavior.
