Chaotic Hangouts

Chapter 43: Smoke Miser

Date: August 12th, 2025

Before this chapter begins, I want you all to know that Im currently recovering from a concussion and I dont know when I'll recover to the point of the end to symptoms that have still been going on 3 weeks after it happened. I hit concrete underwater due to the innertube I was riding a water slide on capsizing and bringing me underwater. So if I take longer than normal to put out all that I have planned, Im so sorry. And I have yet to conclude Sparking A Revolution. That will change. I intend on finishing it within the next week with its last 3 chapters. But without further ado, let the chaos begin.

"We're going to the amusement park and we're going to see some churros. Some churros." That was Dakota from Milo Murphy's Law. What turned into a intensive regular soft opening day test and inspection by some BRAINS members of a new amusement park on an island somewhere that we had a hand in helping bring to life because we have all the specialists we need to do that now has inadvertently turned into a: "oh great, now everyone wants to go there with us". Thats a bit of an exaggeration but its certainly close enough. Doofensmirtz nods: "Yes! Churros sound really good! Lets get some churros! But why wait until we get there?! Behold, my Churroinator! With one press of a button, a fresh large churro will be created!" To demonstrate, he presses a button on his Inator but it doesnt work as intended, causing a churro to indeed be created except that churro is stuck inside of the Inator itself. Doof tosses his Inator and yells: "Curse you, technical difficulties!" I sigh: "Speaking of technical difficulties and can my finger stop itching weirdly, a lot of things are going to break down at the park. The same thing just recently happened at Epic Universe, Universal's new theme park which quite frankly should have done something else instead of a HP land. Talk about being insensitive to the danger trans people are in because of HP's creator. Ironically, they sell Pride shirts at Universal. They literally used AI slop crap to do the voice acting for the new HP ride they have at Epic Universe because most OG HP stars rightfully are done with HP because they give a damn about trans people.

But what do I know? Its not like a bunch of us are the so called freaks who are openly and unapologetically queer. And thats part of why the new park is unapologetically pro-queer. We shouldnt waste much time though. The plan is to get there very soon like in a few minutes." A few minutes later, we have arrived at the first themed area: the parking lot, themed to parking spots, row signs, sidewalk, stop signs, and entry gates for cars and other vehicles. Oh and theres monorail and train stations as well as a boat dock because this amusement park is on a literal island in the Bermuda Triangle on the version of Earth we have made it a mission to save through theme and amusement parks of all places. What could possibly go wrong? (Its partially a trap for any rich people still around in this world. If any yachts approach the island, they'll be looked over because rich people are jerks and they often buy yachts to compensate for something.) The parking lot is smaller than it would be due to the greatly increased prevalance of virtually all other means of transportation on this Earth. Anyway, all 54 of us or so walk towards the entrance gates. They arent anything special as finishing touches are still ongoing. Its more important to make sure all the rides and facilities are in tip top shape. But literally the moment we begin to enter the actual park itself, it suddenly starts to pour heavily. Some of us start singing: "Rain, rain, go away. Come again some other day." over and over again. Pirate Blaster shouts: "Not today, storm!"

Using his power over water magic alongside others who also have an affinity for water alongside myself and others with an affinity for wind magic work together to clear the skies above the amusement park but it does not work. Instead, the rain gets much heavier, leading some of us to yell: "Run to shelter NOOOOWWWWW!" A couple minutes later, we're all hanging out under the roof of a outdoor eating pavilion for the park's massive pretzel restaurant. Think Auntie Annes, Wetzel's Pretzels, or Ben's Pretzels but bigger and better. The place is called Loop's Pretzels, a pretzel place started out as a stand in my creation the Wicked Parks Resort which recently got an indoor location to relocate to and shares the space with 3-4 other places. It originally set up shop in Out Of Place Street which I just recently finally added a bunch of places to go to along both sides of as well as in the space between it and the Chaos World park which just got a second entry gateway last month in a area thats now the eastern most portion of the intentionally disorganized park. I demolished the stands to make way for more walking space due to all the shops and such I just built. Loop's Pretzels is also coming to Twisted Land, Wild Waters, and Chaos World and has also been introduced over the past week to other parks across the multiverse that our collective has been at least somewhat involved in.
