Fun=things that spin you around

[Deon]

"Well... I would hate to cut in line," Ellis murmured with a bit of trepidation. However, he quickly put a smile back on his face when she asked about his powers.

"My powers? Energy manipulation. But it surfaces in waves. I can change the frequency of waves, create vibrations, earthquakes, radar, even receive radio waves in my head if I want to. Or change the channel," he told her with a little laugh. "Never need a remote with me around!"

"And you? Other than your... genetic mutation, is there anything else you can do?"

[Cakemon-kun]

Jo leaned to the side away from Ellis and her head exploded forecully and a new one grew. "I can make my DNA explode. It is immediately regenerated...how is hard to explain. It's like the blueprints to my body are stored everywhere in my body, so when one part is gone because of the explosion, the rest of my body rebuilds it according to the blueprints. It can screw up memories, but just a little. For example, for part of the ride, I swear everything was green." Jo smiled. "It's kind of invigorating. But I detonate my whole body, all my blueprints will be destroyed, and there will be no cells left, and not enough to reconstruct." They were pretty much at the bumper cars. Jo got in line. "Head explosions make quite a mess though..." she said, looking away from a scorched bloody and brain-y patch where Jonelle had detonated her head.

[Deon]

"Well, if they make such a mess, then I guess I could be glad that I can't see," Ellis chuckled, a little unnerved by the sudden explosion so close by. He wasn't exactly... expecting it, and his ears rung with the sudden blasting sound.

The use of his radar showed that the bumper cars were right ahead, and he stepped in the rapidly shrinking line. By the hush and the sound of footsteps moving away from the attraction, it seemed like not many people wanted to be in a bumper car session with Jonelle. Well, it wasn't as if he couldn't understand why they felt as they did. He rubbed his ears cautiously, waiting for the thud and drag sound of Jonelle's footsteps approaching.

[Cakemon-kun]

Jo rolled her eyes. "They're just scared that my claws give me extreme handling skills." Jo waited patiently, chuckling. "Yeah, I traumatized some kindergarteners with the ol' head splode. They got over it, but man, the look on their faces..." Jo laughed. "In all seriousness, it was a troubling memory. I even scared myself." The line started moving towards the ride and Jo tensed up. "Sweet!" she said, and they eventually made it to the ride. "You gonna be okay on your own? Or should I steer" she asked.

[Deon]

Ellis laughed. "Don't underestimate the blind man! I can hold my own on a bumper car, or I never would have suggested it. Thanks to these," he told her, pointing to his ears. "I have no problem slamming into people or knowing when someone's coming towards me. Now, whether that someone is you, I can't exactly tell, but that's beside the point, yes?"

At the ringing of a bell, they were ushered onto the platform with all the bumper cars by a guy whose face showed how much he hated his job. Ellis, who hadn't used any of his powers to help him "see," nearly tripped over a the first bumper car, caught himself on the steering wheel, and decided that it would be better for his health if he just stayed in that one. He shifted position, feeling around, until he was able to get himself in safely and put on the seatbelt.

"Hey Jo, you ready yet?"

[Cakemon-kun]

She jumped into a deep blue bumper car. "Hells yeah!" she shouted, keeping her foot down flat on the gas pedal. When the ride started up, she would automatically start moving. "Alliance?" she offered. "I want to teach these guys a lesson."
People filed into the little platform. Laughing and excited, just like Jo, they eagerly hopped into bumper cars, and a few younger kids rode with their moms or dads. They laughed and talked amongst each other, clearly taking this lightly. But even simple things Jo considered war. Her grin was like one seen when one was about to take over the world. Mueheheheheheh... she thought, looking at them all. So innocent. All of them were about to get owned.
A spark of electricity above each bumper car's antennae was seen and heard, and Jo immediately lurched forwards. "Whahahahah!" she yelled, immediately smashing into a person's car, nearly giving them whiplash, a heart attack, and then, after looking at their adversary, another heart attack. She backed up and smashed into another. She was having a very good time. But the other people were slowly ganging up on her. Bring it.

[Deon]

Ellis gripped the wheel tightly as Jonelle shouted to him from his left. He laughed with a little shake of his head. "As much as I'd love to, I'd have a bit of trouble telling where you were!"

The spark was like a gunshot that suddenly sent a dozen big cars into motion. Ellis slammed on the breaks, then, realizing his mistake, shifted his foot to the other pedal and gassed the car. It started with a jump and he keeled over the steering wheel in surprise, before he slammed into someone and was propelled back. He could hear someone coming at him from his left and a car near the front of him, so he quickly turned around and shot towards the rear of the area, swerving madly as he heard someone approaching him diagonally on his right side. Ellis had never driven a car. No wonder why.

[Cakemon-kun]

"If you feel like it, fine!" Jo kept slamming into more cars, and ocasionally detonated the tips of her hair to scare people. There's one in front of her! SLAM. Oh, there's one behind her! SLAM. Her adversaries were slowly and mostly unintentionally forming around her as she crashed into them over and over again. She would often get hit from the side when attempting to hit someone else. It was the point of the game. Oh, sorry, I meant point of the battle.
Jo was leading a few around in little circles, making them seem like they were in the superior situation, then suddenly reversed and hit one who in turn hit another who then hit the last one. Jo turned around in her seat and laughed. She sat back down and turned around towards the crowd.

[Deon]

"Ooof!" Ellis slammed right into the end of the stage, not realizing that he was headed towards it, shot backwards into another person, was bumped forward again, and then was rammed in the side by a runaway bumper car. At least, it sure seemed like a runaway bumper car, judging by the horribly erratic trajectory it seemed to be following, judging by the sound of its course.

He heard Jo's voice laughing like a maniac to his right, and tried to head over to her, but was slammed back again by a car he hadn't heard coming--probably because he hadn't been paying attention, and his head was throbbing in his ears from getting jerked around so much. He let go of the wheel for a second, realizing that he was turning without knowing it, and waited for his car to straighten out as he pressed the gas as hard as he could, ramming the back of a car and sending it hurtling into the center of the stage. He was then hit from behind, and then from the side, until he was entirely disoriented and ran into the edge of the stage once more. He then backed up, thought he turned, hit the gas, and ran into it again before being knocked off course by another flying bumper car.

"Hey Jonelle, a little help here?" he asked, trying to manouevre himself out of the rut he seemed to have gotten into, surrounded by cars he couldn't see and with his back to the wall.

[Cakemon-kun]

Jo looked over at Ellis. "Alright, gimme a sec." she shouted. She slammed the accelerator down to the floor of the car and she rammed into someone at full speed. She moved her foot, lifted up about half a foot and slammed it on the reverse The person behind her was smart enough to get out of her way. Jo turned half around in her bumper car and turned her wheel this way and that and eventually rammed into one of the many bumper cars surrounding Ellis. She slammed forwards and pused another one away. She backed up and zoomed forwards again. There was enough room for Ellis to get out of his "rut". "Let's get back to work." she said, and zoomed in a zig zag towards one of the people she had hit who was still recovering.

[Deon]

Ellis slammed into a few more cars before he was finally able to make it out of the encirclement through the breach that Jo had created for him. He spun out into the center, still entirely disoriented, and proceeded to follow the car that he hoped was Jonelle's, smashing into a few others on the way and narrowly avoiding being clipped by a crazy driver. He swerved madly as the sound alerted him of the other person's fast-approaching presence and rammed into the side of Jonelle by accident. He hit the brakes and attempted to turn around the other way before he was sent hurtling back into the middle of the area by another car. His neck hurt from his head being jerked this way and that, and the seatbelt had given him painful welts on his shoulders from holding him back against the forces of motion.

Then finally everything stopped. Ellis hit the gas a few times, wondering if his car had been screwed up by getting knocked around just a little too much, but realized that that was what bumper cars were for. Plus, he was not aware of the sounds of any more bumper car engines around him. The ride must be over already. Pity, he was actually kind of enjoying himself, even if he was getting pummeled. He laughed, fumbling to get out of his safety belt, unable to find the click release button, before he realized it was right on his chest. He carefully got out of the car, sending a burst of waves to give him a picture of where the cars were and his relation to them. Fuzzy outlines blinked into his inner vision, and he held them up in his mind as he walked, imagining the change in perspective.

"Hey, Jo, you over here somewhere?" he called, narrowly avoiding running into the front end of a car.

[Cakemon-kun]

"Waah!" Jo yelled as she was side-swiped just before she was about to hit someone. Don't look, other problems. She slammed the reverse pedal to recover by hitting someone else. She picked up some speed, and slammed into an unsuspecting person. She slammed down on the gas again, turned around in a wide loop, and smashed into someone else. "Heh." she said. She stepped on the reverse again and slammed into the person she wanted to hit before. She looked casually to the side as a teenager was speeding up to hit her. She braced herself for impact.

And then it stopped for no reason. Jonelle tapped the gas, and nothing happened. The ride was over. She smiled. "Fun fun." she said, and got out of her car. She stretched and heard Ellis' call. "Over here!" she shouted, and jogged over to Ellis. "Come on, let's go, it's my turn." She started to walk towards the exit.

[Deon]

Ellis manouevred carefully around the bumper cars strewn randomly across the area, trying to mimic as much as he could Jo's path by listening to the sound of her footsteps. He laughed softly as he walked, careful to make sure he could still hear her. "I'd hate to see what you have in store for me now," he told her in a joking manner.

He rubbed the area on his shoulders where the safety belts had painfully pulled on his skin and rolled his stiff neck. The motion caused him to veer slightly off course and he nearly ran into the bar that ran along the exit line, but corrected his path as his elbow lightly dinged the rail.

"So where are we headed now, Miss Jonelle?"

[Cakemon-kun]

Jo laughed at his first comment. "We are heading to a classic," she replied at first once they were out of the exit que. She streched a little more and shook her head a little before looking up. "The aptly named Scream Snake." she pointed with her right claw towards a large Roller Coaster. "And screw their height restrictions, I'm going on anyways." She smiled. "Feel free to back out, I'm still not completely sure I'm gonna actually go on. Well, let's go then. Next time it's my turn, I promise I will choose something softer if we both go on." She could read his slight discomfort on the first ride, and this one would be a little more extreme. However, she was sure he could do it.

[Deon]

Ellis smiled lightly. "I didn't know they got that back up and running. Too bad for me, eh?" he laughed softly, a bit nervously. "Well, eh, lead the way!" he told her. "Before I change my mind."

You guys won't believe that I went on a roller coaster today. I know, I know, I can already hear you groaning that I would never do it with you all. When I come back for summer vacation we can do it, okay? I'm sure Donna and Dad would be totally cool with going to King's Island or something.

He was finally out into the open again, where all he had to worry about was running into people. But people were soft, unlike those metal rails, and he could always hear or feel them coming some way or another. No problem, Ellis. No problem. Save your fretting for when you're actually on the coaster, huh?
