this is where fun goes to die

[This is where fun goes to die.]

[The stereotypical abandoned amusement park. Everybody says it's haunted. And, in their line of work, when multiple people start saying something's haunted, it either is, or it's damned close to being so. There's probably some kind of correlation, but that's not important.]

[What is important is that traffic was so terrible. Terrible enough that they pull up into the weedy parking lot as the sun is starting to go down. It's cold. Not enough to snow, but enough to see your breath when you talk. There's a wind blowing up off the lake, and the old ferris wheel carriages swing out in the distance. Something calls out, long and lonely.]

[It's probably an owl.]

[But that owl is not helping anything.]

I'm so not getting out of this car. You know that, right?

[She's still buckled in, in fact.]

We win? I was unaware that this was a competition.

[ He gives the fence a glance. Hm. Barbed wire on the top. Seems to be in one piece. ]

Can you get through there?

[salamandher]

If we lost, we'd get arrested. That's how it works.

[She looks it over too, frowning.]

... If you want to owe me two pizzas and an energy drink after? Maybe.

[wizardcop]

Anything you want, Kara. My treat.

[salamandher]

And cake.

[She steps over to the fence, holding up a hand.]

So much cake. I want to be like, the god of cake.

[That said, it's time for the intense amount of focus required to heat metal to melting apart.]

[wizardcop]

Like I said, anything you want. [ God, their grocery bull must be insane.

BUT yes melting metal. He will. Stand over here. ]

[salamandher]

Good.

[It takes a while, but, gradually, the metal starts to glow, until a good chunk of them are red-hot.]

[She doesn't stop, though. Not until the links actually begin to fall apart, the metal literally melting before it hits the ground.]

[wizardcop]

Don't overdo it. I'd like to be able to fix it when we get through.

[salamandher]

Should've said something sooner...

[At least the hole is big enough now, though. She ducks through, to prove it.]

You can fix that, right?
