23 years earlier.
Andre Bordat waved off the last remaining attendants of his sermon as they exited the church before turning around and sliding opening a nearby window, letting the fresh morning breeze in. With the building now to himself, the small church's only other clergy member having left for the afternoon, Andre now found himself with enough time to himself to engage in one of his few hobbies. His current duties keeping the list of spare time activities rather short. The reverend rooted into a nearby cabinet before putting out a small silver needle andl collection of embroidery floss, a loop holding his current project quickly followed. With his project in tow Andre scurried out into the garden behind the church. Sitting down on a small wooden bench, across which faced the church building and one of it's stain glass windows, Andre quickly absorbed himself in his work. Pulling his messy black hair behind his ears and then tucking loose stands under his glasses frames for good measure, the man glues himself to each tiny stitch as he carefully and precisely gave shape to the image he had previously laid out with pencil.
Bordat's work paused as he heard a gurgling sound. At first he had assumed it came from his own stomach, causing him to think back to when he had last eaten. However the sound persisted and grew in intensity, causing the reverend to look up from his work in alarm. He jolted upward on his once crosses legs, embroidery tossed to the side as he laid eyes on the cause of the sound. The wall right next to him, right next to the stained glass depiction of The Virgin Mary herself, was bubbling and oozing as if it was molten. Andre took half a step forward, hand tentatively reaching towards the the sight as he gave a prayer under his breath.
It reached back.
From the wall a hand sprung, grabbing ahold of Andre and pulling with all of it's might. He was certain he would be pull inward, to whatever lay on the other side, yet he fought with all his might. Andre scream and thrashed, pulling in the opposite direction as he watched an arm, then a mess of white hair, and then a figure emerge from the wall until finally both were on the other side and the bubbling ceased.
The two tobbled onto the ground, Andre's head smacking painfully against the beach behind him. The figure from the wall, clad in tattered white robs stained in blue, looked up at the man before them self as they gasped for breath.
"<Where is this?>" The figure from the wall asked in a terrified, feminine voice.
Andre blinked rapidly as he tries to piece together what had just happened what he was just asked. Did they just... speak to him in Latin? Andre thanked god that of all the languages they could have spoken, it was the only other one he knew. He looked up at the sky as he caught his breath before looking back down at the figure before him, taking in their gray skin and curved black horn hesitantly. Everything was telling him to run away, or toss some holy water on them. But who would he be to judge on appearances? This could be a blessing in disguise. "<You're in New Orleans... E-earth.>"
Tears erupted from the horned figure's eyes as they sprang forward, arms locking tightly around Andre as they buried their head into his shoulder. "<Thank you...>" they sobbed as they clutched onto him tightly, waves of relief flooding through their person. "<Thank you.>"

Vale continued cartwheeling towards the games until coming to a dramatic halt in front of a row of skeeball machines. He pretended to crack his knuckles (they couldn't actually crack since his hands were pure metal) before pulling out a few dollars and exchanging them with a worker for coins. He handed Alraada the money and smiled at her. "I chose the bumper cars, so you chose the first game! Remember, we're a team now. Whatever we do, we do together!" He cried with a starry look in his eye. Alraada thought for a moment. "Why not just work our way down from the beginning?" she spoke, looking towards the lineup. "I haven't really done any of these before, so forgive my if I suck ass-- am not very good at these." she groaned at having to censor herself. Alraada isn't Alraada without her foul mouth. She pointed to a skee ball machine (with a 2 player alliance mode) "Wanna try that?" she inquired. --- "Thank you, by the way. I've never done- I've never helped somebody like that before. you helped a lot." Galystris laughed lightly whilst reading through the menu. "I haven't either, to be honest." she smile. She read through the menu until she found someting that suited her tastes; cold, kinda bland, and bitter. "You ready to order?" she asked, looking back over to Cheri. |

She pointed to a skee ball machine (with a 2 player alliance mode) "Wanna try that?" she inquired. "Sure!" Vale said, clasping his hands together cheerfully. "Let's get on it then! I'll do the honors." He pulled a coin from the pile he'd shoved into Alraada's hands and slipped it into the machine she'd pointed to, starting up the game in alliance mode. He picked up one of the balls, throwing it carefully in his hand as he narrowed his eye at the ramp leading up to the holes. After carefully lining up his stance and angling his wrist, he tossed the ball gracefully forwards, adding a little twirl as he released it. It seamlessly leaped over the other holes and into the 50pt slot. A celebratory chime went off and Vale squealed, shaking his hands in front of his face like a five year old being offered a lollypop. "Your tuuuurn~!" He sang, handing a ball to Alraada.
Nace rolled his eyes at the comments about his red face, "It's sun burned from the beach," he growled, knowing this was a stupid answer but unable to come up with a better reply. He decided to leave it at that in fear of eliciting another conflict between the two. Y ou don't care. He's a stranger. Let him poke fun if he wants, so long as you get to stay.They entered the line for another ride, seeming that they might actually wait this one out in order to have a decent conversation for once. Small talk wasn't really Nace's strong suit, but he could bare it. "I didn't watch TV and I wasn't allowed to leave to see movies," He stated. "I'm sure your fish movie is top notch though. Mermaid flicks wouldn't interest me anyways. How can they do a proper fucking scene with those tails?" He joked. |

Iksel crumpled his fingers into his mess of hair in frustration, having lost the battle with his tears as they were now streaming down his face. "No you fucking don't! Fuck you, Reese! I hate you!" He screamed, pulling as his dyed locks before his swung back down to his side, muscles tense. The moment Iksel realized what he had done, what he had had, his expression chanced completely to one of regret. Iksel looked down at Piami wide eyed, not knowing what to do or say, afraid of what else would come out if he opened his mouth again. 'I'm sorry,' he mouthed, eyes darting around at the groups of people now staring at him and Piami.
-
"Oh, yeah, I know what I want," Cheri said, nervously flipping through the menu despite not having settled on their order. They peaked up at the waitress standing net to their table, ready to take their order and quickly shot their gaze back down at the menu, their ears turning bright red. "Um, can I have a..." They looked down at the page they landed on, picking an option they considered earlier. "Pancake? One of the Dotty Duck pancakes pleases." Cheri covered their embarrased face with their menu before having to relinquish it to the waitress.

Maicy noticed how nervous Aberdeen is. Are they going to be okay??
She pondered for a moment. Thought about it....then she remembered what Aberdeen said a couple of days ago on the plane!
Oh shit, that's right!
And now Maicy began to feel a little bad. She turned to Aberdeen and lightly patted their back.
"I forgot that you told me back on the plane that you don't watch alot of movies or T.V. shows. I'm sorry for not putting that into consideration."
Way to go, Maicy. You dun fucked up again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Piami stood there in shock of how angry Iksel was and the ragefilled breakdown he was having.
Once Iksel stopped being angry, she felt...pretty bad for him. She wanted to say something once he apologized. Piami struggled on what to say, given something like this is extremely out of her comfort zone. Regardless, she tried
"I-Iksel, it's okay. I may not know but... whatever it is.. you have every right to be upset.."
She looked up to Iksel
"S-So, please don't feel bad."

"I forgot that you told me back on the plane that you don't watch alot of movies or T.V. shows. I'm sorry for not putting that into consideration."
Aberdeen's aura turned a slight pink as Maicy began blaming herself once more, to which the fighter shook their head. "N-no no! Don't be sorry!" They sputtered "I just haven't seen a lot of things! I still like the floats! They're really colorful and cool!" They stated, shakily. "I like the parade! I just wish i knew the references! That's all! It's fine, really!" They rubbed the back of their neck, immediately regretting not just acting as excited as everyone around them. It wouldn't have been that hard to just play along... Aberdeen tightened their bandana and looked back towards the floats, trying to find one that they recognized.
Amil looked surprised at the fact his partner didn't know what he was talking about. "O-oh.." He stuttered. "Eh, you weren't missing much anyways. This whole place plays off of people's nostalgia." He said with a shrug. The line moved forward once more, letting everyone but Amil and Nace onto the cart before taking off, to which Amil scowled. However, as soon as his partner's lewd comment hit his ear, he grinned deviously and gripped the hand rail next to him. "I suppose that's true, but..." He began slowly moving his hand along the railing as he looked towards Nace. "There are always... alternatives~" He chimed as he licked his lips, showing off his elongated tongue. "Nothing that compares to the hot and heavy stuff, but still fun none the less!" he grinned. |

Maicy blushed as Aberdeen told her not to apologize. As she listened on what they said, she smiled and said "O-Oh! Well I'm glad you're still enjoying the parade regardless" As the parade continues, there are more carts of movies Winsey made passed by. Some Maicy remember watching when she was young. Others she may not recogized. Who knows? Maybe there at least be one Aberdeen recognize. Hopefully..At that moment, Maicy felt her phone vibrate. She couldn't be able to check it, due to the parade going extravagant. So, she will check them once the parade is over. Could be Celesthy doing something stupid, isn't it?{Junkyo's Text Messages}J: Hi. Maicy.
J: First off, I hope you and your soulmate-bae are doing well.
J: Second, OH MY FUCKING HELL, CELESTHY HAS DONE SOMETHING SO FUCKING STUPID!!!
J: Okay, so, you know that Celesthy and her boyfriend have tickets to the theme park that I REFUSE TO CALL IT BY ITS FUCKING NAME, Thanks to Heremia?
J: Well, Celesthy got drunk off her ass, AGAIN, and she has ripped the two tickets apart. And on top of fucking that, she threw pizza at a guy's face who works there.
J: And kept on and on with the FUCKING YO MAMA JOKES!!!
J: RDSDTTYFUGIHEIOKDFJOIVOFHOCIVOFMVNJS
J: I fucking hate everything. |

"Two cheeseburgers, hold the tomato on one. One order of fries, one of onion rings, two bottles of water aaand..." Again he skimmed the menu before looking at the colorful junk foods that were so eye-catching they could've been decoration. "One of those." He pointed to the fluffy pastel cotton candy lineup. After the limited but at least measurable success of yesterday's snowcones with his partner, Cyrus was almost positive that the spun sugar was another new treat that Alti might enjoy. Might perk him up a bit more too.
His wallet now nearly $40.00 lighter thanks to the highway robbery Wisney called 'fast food', he carefully balanced the tray of their food with his one free arm, escorting both his partner and the most expensive bottles of water on the planet over to an empty table. Settling down into the seats, he picked up his own food and sighed, " Finally", a sharp growl of his stomach accompanying his little sigh of relief before he began to eat. "So where'd you go exactly to 'blow off a little steam'?" he asked after a few moments, looking over at his partner curiously. Alti stared at the menu behind the counter blankly as he listened to his order being chosen for him, his eyes darting through the list of rather uninteresting options he no longer had to worry about. The images of food placed ever-so gracefully next to their respective names almost appeared to mellow the man out more than frustrate him since he had already had a few encounters with those types of meals in the past. Recently, even. He eyed the tray of food as he tailed his partner, seating himself in the other chair before taking the plate that was his. It's just a sandwich. he thought, chuckling as his soulmate finally curbed his hunger. Alti twisted the cap off one of the water bottles, taking a few sips before setting the thing back down and prodding at the other items on the tray. Oh. Those are different. He didn't exactly know what to make of either side dish, so he opted to stop thinking about it and try them. He took one of the fries first and angled it toward his mouth, pausing as a quick realization shot through him. What, are these for me, or those....? he inquired to himself, glancing back to his soulmate, who hadn't seemed too bothered with him just taking one. Shrugging his shoulders, he popped one into his mouth. They were a bit on the salty side, but otherwise enjoyable. He took a few more to repeat the process again, this time being stopped by a question. "Oh, just some forest!" he replied, finishing off the fries in his hand and swallowing them. "I portal there sometimes when I get like, you know, real mad. It's pretty quiet there, so I can make as much noise as I need to~" he chuckled at that last part, a bit surprised at himself for being so frank with a topic so... unflattering. Oh, well. "This time though," he continued, his hand wandering back to the tray, "I kinda went a little, ehhh.... 'overboard', heh. Broke a few trees..." It was as he trailed off that he realized his hand had traveled a bit too far and was instead hovering over the rings. Oh... Those had to be his, right? The hand remained there, the man conflicted a bit between going back to his food and just taking the other's. After the little scuffle from earlier, he wanted to look as polite as he possibly could --perhaps that was why he was so quick to tell the truth about the forest-- and that meant staying in his boundary for once. But at the same time, he really only wanted to see what the rings would taste like.... He had been silent for an awkward amount of time now, Alti snapping the fingers on that hand to alert himself to just make a decision already. "Hey, can I try one of those?" he said finally, pointing toward the onion rings. |

Watching Alti trying out new foods was always rather intriguing. While it wasn't as amusing as yesterday's lizard-like tongue flicking, the prodding of the french fries and onion rings as if they were alien objects was still pretty funny to the scientist. Although he was somewhat surprised by the fact that something as common as french fries was a new discovery for him. "Oh, just some forest!" he replied, finishing off the fries in his hand and swallowing them. "I portal there sometimes when I get like, you know, real mad. It's pretty quiet there, so I can make as much noise as I need to~" he chuckled at that last part, a bit surprised at himself for being so frank with a topic so... unflattering. Oh, well. "This time though," he continued, his hand wandering back to the tray, "I kinda went a little, ehhh.... 'overboard', heh. Broke a few trees..." It was as he trailed off that he realized his hand had traveled a bit too far and was instead hovering over the rings. Oh... Those had to be his, right?

But at the same time, he really only wanted to see what the rings would taste like.... Cyrus raised an eyebrow as Alti detailed him about the place he'd run off to, chuckling softly as his partner spoke of breaking entire trees as casually as one would talk about snapping a popsicle stick. By just looking at his lithe partner, it was easy to forget just how strong the man really was. "Broke some trees, eh? Goddamn I always forget that you could snap me in half like a twig," he laughed, eating one of the onion rings. "That sounds... therapeutic though. Well hey, whatever works, right? Feeling better now?" He took another bite out of his burger as he observed his rather indecisive partner's indecision seemingly leak into his choice in side dishes, the scientist chuckling softly as his hand seemed to perfectly articulate his inner struggle with each little movement. "Hey, can I try one of those?" he said finally, pointing toward the onion rings. Cyrus grinned as he finally verbalized whatever it was his hands had been trying to say, unscrewing his water bottle . "Go for it. I got them both so you could pick whatever you liked better," he hummed and took a sip of water. "I also got this too for you to try," he held up the pastel puff on a cone. "Wasn't sure if you'd ever had cotton candy before, but you'll probably like it."

Could be Celesthy doing something stupid, isn't it?Aberdeen simply nodded to their partner and turned their attention back to the floats. The fighter let another small puff of smoke exit their head and waft up into the air, surveying the area for two specific individuals. Luckily, there was no sign of them, to which the fighter sighed with relief. They left the cloud in the air, however, just in case they DID spot either of the two. They tried their best to recognize one of the floats passing by, but nothing clicked in their head. All of the characters and themes were completely foreign to the fighter, and the screaming and cheering of everybody around them only served to make them feel more and more out of place. Can't even act like a normal person.... They continued to stare at one colorful float after another, their extravagant decorations appealing but any references lost to the clueless fighter. "What should we do after this.." They asked Maicy, not turning their attention away from the parade. |

"Hmm, that is a good question."
Maicy thought about for a moment. Given that there have so much bullshit after what happened at the Ferris Wheel, she just wanna be careful this time with everything. Or at least with the rides. Then an idea popped Maicy's head, which made her blush a bit.
"Well, there's on thing that we haven't done yet..."
Her face became more redder little by little as she was about to ask.
"I would like for the two of us to take a picture together...i-if that is okay with you."

"Your tuuuurn~!" He sang, handing a ball to Alraada.
Alraada took the ball and examined the machine. She rolled the ball into the machine, but her roll had too much 'power', and the ball slammed into one of the rings and hit the top of the machine. Alraada grimaced at the sight of the bad throw. "Ugh...." she groaned as she stared at the results of her shot. She shook her head. "Sorry,man. Never done this before." Her annoyence with her skills at this game was apparent. She was aware her aim of anything ranged was less than the best. She hoped she didn't seemed to childish in her frustration "Um, can I have a..." They looked down at the page they landed on, picking an option they considered earlier. "Pancake? One of the Dotty Duck pancakes pleases." Cheri covered their embarrased face with their menu before having to relinquish it to the waitress. The waitress smiled. "Alrighty! I'll get that to ya." she chirped. She turned over to Galystris, and she placed her order of a chicken and avocado wrap, which she had no idea if it was good or not. The waitress took their orders with a grin and headed off. "Anything you want to do after this?" Galystris inquired. She seemed to be irked about this whole place overall, but still smiled and put on a front of mild excitement. |

"Wasn't sure if you'd ever had cotton candy before, but you'll probably like it."
Alti's attention snapped back to the scientist, his hand still gesturing midair at the fried rings. He cracked a smile at him for being so considerate and immediately picked one of them up, popping it into his mouth seconds after giving it a brief observation. It looked crunchy. It was crunchy. It was salty like the fries, which was to be expected given the look of the other customers, but as for the taste... Eh, it was OK. He didn't exactly care for the onion-y taste camping in the back of his throat, though. He nodded at his partner's earlier question. "Mm-hmm, I feel fine!" he beamed, taking one of the napkins at the table and rubbing it between the two fingers that held the onion ring. He poured all of his frustrations into those trees. Twas' awesome. He chuckled. "I think I like these things better, though." he gestured to the fries. He took a few bites of his burger as he listened to the other man talked about the pastel-colored sweet and soon he found himself staring at the cloud of pinks and blues, completely bewildered. Man, do I know anything outside of home? he thought as he mentally prepared himself to ask yet another dumb question. "That's food?" |

Her face became more redder little by little as she was about to ask. "I would like for the two of us to take a picture together...i-if that is okay with you." Aberdeen was taken off guard by their partner's suggestion, having imagined her suggesting some sort of ride. They turned to look at her, a bit of confusion on their face. "P-pictures?" They reiterated. They went silent for a moment as the music and cheers continued on in the background. "Uh, yeah sure." They finally spoke up again as things began going quiet. It appeared the last of the floats had made their way past Maicy and Aberdeen and were heading towards the rest of the park, prompting some individuals to leave the area while others continued to stand and converse over how great the parade was. Aberdeen was still stuck on the picture suggestion however. "Uh.. what kind of pictures? Like in a photo booth? Or at different parts of the park on our phones?" The mention of phones prompted the fighter to remember something. "OH YEAH!!" They exclaimed as the pulled their phone out of their pocket. "Give me your number so I can call or text you in case we get separated or...something.." They drew out the last word is guilt began to hit the fighter due to them storming off earlier. |

Man, do I know anything outside of home? he thought as he mentally prepared himself to ask yet another dumb question. "That's food?" Cyrus grinned widely and nodded, never ceasing to be entertained by his partner's wonderment for things he'd always considered to be common. Popping one of the onion rings into his mouth now that his soulmate had made his decision, he wiped the grease off his fingers onto a napkin and released the cotton candy from its plastic confines. "Well obviously!" he chuckled, holding up the sugar cotton puff with the cone sticking out like a unicorn's horn. "Did you think this was a playmate for your new buddy? The poor creature would be eyeless," he snickered. "It's pure fucking sugar. Literally. This fluffy stuff is spun sugar, so with your sweet tooth I think you're gonna love it." Humming, he plucked a wispy pink tuft of the treat out of the main cloud and popped it into his mouth, sticking his tongue out a bit so that Alti could see it dissolve into nothing. "See? Totally edible," he chuckled. Grabbing another fingerful of wispy pink sugar tufts, he leaned across the table, bringing his fingers to Alti's lips. "Here, have a taste! Aaaaah~" |
