Twisted Wonderland 2

Quite Fired Up

Ortho's group is about ready to explore the park. Ortho turns to the boys in his group. "Okay, so our group will be sticking mainly to the game area.

Vil Schoenheit, Floyd Leech, Jade Leech, I hope today will be fun!"

Jade nods. "I'm sure it will be, considering we have the pleasure of your company and an entire amusement park to explore."

Floyd gives his brother a teasing smirk. "I'm surprised you're even in this group, Jade. I figured you'd go straight for the thrill rides with Crabby. You're big into stuff where you can't see what's ahead and got no idea what's gonna happen next."

Jade only smiles. "You're not wrong, but there's something nearby that's piqued my interest. So I'd like to stay with this group for a while. I can always ride the rollercoaster after the show's over."

Ortho tilts his head. "Personally, I'm actually more surprised you joined us, Floyd."

"Seconded." Vil agrees. "I thought that if anyone here'd go for the action packed rides, it would've been you."

Floyd grins. "I do like shootin' up in the air and droppin' back down. But that ride's based on goin' through a whale's stomach, right? Whales ain't anything new to me. I'd rather do stuff you can only do here in Playful Land."

"But places for practicing marksmanship are pretty common at carnivals and theme parks, I thought..." Ortho adds.

"Yeah, about that." Floyd rubs his shoulder. "So I looked up stuff about this park last night, and someone posted pictures of the attraction on Magicam. And I ain't never seen anything like THAT before. It kinda rules."

"Oh, really?" Ortho's eyes glaze over for a moment. "Yes, I'm looking it up online now, and I see what you're referring to. It certainly looks unique. What fun! What about you, Vil Schoenheit? Is there anywhere you'd like to go, or anything you'd recommend doing in a theme park?"

Vil places a hand to his hip. "I'm not familiar enough with them to make recommendations. I went to one with my dad when I was a kid, but by the time I started middle school, I was so swamped with work that I didn't have time for this sort of thing. I'll be happy as long as I get to see the show, so let's focus on the things you all want to do."

"Sweet." Floyd starts walking to the games. "We can start by hittin' up the game area."

The boys walk to the desired game. There, they find a grand, ornate mansion with a European architectural style, featuring intricate detailing, a stained glass window, and multiple towers with pointed roofs. The mansion is predominantly white, with decorative elements and a glass conservatory-like structure extending from one side. The greenery is lush and well maintained, with neatly trimmed bushes, palm trees, and a winding pathway leading up to the entrance.

"We're here!" Ortho says excitedly. "Everything in front of us is the game area. That white building there must be where we can do some target practice."

Vil observes the fancy building. "That's a rather lovely building. Pristine white walls, intricate sculptures, a large stained-glass window. It looks more like a model home than a place to play games. I trust the interior will be just as impressive. Shall we go in and see?"

Ortho chuckles mischievously. "I'm afraid to say your assumption is incorrect, Vil Schoenheit. We won't be doing target practice in that building, we'll be doing it ON that building."

Vil quirks an eye. "What does that mean? ...Oh, I see the sign with the name now. 'Domicile of Destruction'? You don't mean..?"

A puppet in a stand waves guests over. "CoME oNe, COme aLl! TaKE a GaNDeR aT ThiS bEAuTiFUl HOuSe, rEAdY tO Be BUsTeD Up. VIsItoRs ARe FreE tO Do wHaTeVeR thEY lIKe To iT!"
