[Welcome to Clown Town, Kuranosuke. Zelgadis is standing before the carriage leading to the Jack o'Lantern Tunnel. He kneels by it, examining the rails that the carriage is meant to travel along. Then he stands and stares into the darkness of the tunnel ahead.]
What is this...? Some kind of attraction?
[He doesn't look like he has any idea what this thing is about.]
Yeah! Rides like this are mainly, like... they take you through a themed area so you can look around. It doesn't go too fast so you can have a chance to actually look at everything.
[and also so they can get shot by the animatronics, apparently.]
[He leans forward a little, squinting to see what's ahead. The carriage continues and the beginnings of a spooky village can be seen, with ominous lighting, decrepit-looking buildings, and...
As they proceed, the creepy, jerky movements of animatronic demons come into view.]
[the second arrow also falls to the ground. i'm crying i wasn't even going for that but that's the funniest possible reading of it so sure. they bullseye'd his fucking nostril.
...this isn't a ride, it's a torture device! We've gotta get out of here!
[THWIP. there goes another arrow.
it catches kuranosuke's wig. the long, curly locks are now pinned to the back of their ride, and zelgadis will get to see that kuranosuke is a natural ... uh, blond, i guess? dirty blond? dark blond?]

What is this...? Some kind of attraction?

[censored to avoid copyright claims-- no.]
Wanna try it out?
no subject
... and does not find one.]
Sure. We just have to get in this carriage...?
[He'll let Kuranosuke board first. He has manners.]
no subject
Right! It should move on its own once we're all settled in, I think.
no subject
Is it supposed to move this slowly?
[The only thing he has to compare to is the rickety-looking rollercoaster he saw outside.]
no subject
[and also so they can get shot by the animatronics, apparently.]

As they proceed, the creepy, jerky movements of animatronic demons come into view.]
... What are those?
no subject
[JUST. POINTING AT THEM.]
Yo, are those weapons? Why are they pointing them at us??
no subject
[No... As soon as he says that, one looses the arrow it's pointing at them, and it comes soaring straight their way.]
-- Look out!!
[Perhaps a little too forcefully, he shoves Kuranosuke's head downward, and puts himself in the arrow's path!
THONK.
It slams into his stone face and bounces off.]
no subject
[kuranosuke's head is shoved downward! ...the arrow bounces to the ground. kuranosuke picks it up.]
Whoa, what the heck! Why are these things actually shooting at us?! Dude - are you okay?!
1/2
[another arrow comes flying at him while he's not paying attention. it goes THONK as it slams into his nose.]

DID THAT JUST GO UP YOUR NOSTRIL?!

he was trying to be cool. this isn't fair.]

he watches it go.
but then there's the telltale sound of more animatronics getting into position to fire again...]
no subject
[He stands up, draws his sword, and deflects the next arrow that flies at them with an elegantly-timed strike of his blade.]
no subject
whoa.]
Damn, that was cool! Do it again!
[he will soon get another chance to because they're getting shot at. again.]
no subject
How much longer is this damned tunnel!?
no subject
[they're almost there. kuranosuke points dramatically at it but otherwise does absolutely nothing to be of use.]
