Oh, their turn. Damon doesn't quite fit into the car, as most grown males don't, but he manages. His (8) makes reorienting himself inside a bumper car a joke. Has he ever been inside a bumper car? Maybe in the 90's? Why is he going in a circle? )
[Lydia's not managing to do much better (9) but that tends to be the point of bumper cars? No one is the deftest of hands when these things are held together by magnets and screws.
But she does manage to get close enough that she glances off his side with a smirk.]
( But, another middle schooler comes careening into his side with the deftness of a professional bumper, before cheering and heading off again. He tries again, to bump Lydia... (4) )
[Lydia manages to gain enough control over the car to zip away before he can get her (17). She flashes him a grin in return before she manages to shoot down the side of the pin, out of reach of him.
[The path clears, and Damon starts to zoom after her, before he gets cut off at the pass by another teen trying to zip through the same space. Then, when he starts to get free, he's hit by car number two. Then, a very unfortunate car number three cuts off his last means of escape.
He can probably hear his date for the evening laughing on the other side of the field, before there's a small eep! as someone t-bones her across the way (9).]
[Damon manages to collide with them, glancing off the side of their car as they try to make their escape (17). But when he does catch up with Lydia, she doesn't seem that bothered.
In fact, she almost seems like she's having a good time.]
[She grins at his response before nodding and zipping off to slam into as many teenagers as she can, catching one on the side (17) as they try to evade her (13).]
[At least he's finally getting into the swing of things. They manage to bounce off a few more teenagers before the cars come to a stop, and they're given the signal to move on to the next phase of their evening.
Lydia climbs out and moves to join Damon at his car with a smile.]
I haven't checked. It's assembled, I know that. The carnival, it's more a once-a-year thing and most of the time, there isn't a roller coaster. Means it's either special, or old. We can skip it if you'd like.
( He does try assessing the roller coaster as they return to the main thoroughfare (6). Clearly, Damon has never been an expert on rollercoaster maintenance. )

A harmless way of blowing off some steam, in my opinion. There are worse ways for people to spend their ill-focused aggression.
no subject
( Damon has had ill-focused and zeroed-in aggression, but he'd like to follow the hypothetical as they step into line. )
no subject
[Or at least that's been her experience, especially when it comes to supernatural teenagers.]
no subject
( His dryness gives away that though he's disparaging the practice, he's still interested, especially with Lydia. )
I am rusty, you might be surprised how easy it is to pin me to one place.
no subject
Are you saying you wouldn't mind being pinned down?
[That question is a bit more flirty. Is she talking about bumper cars or is she talking about something else?]
no subject
( He leans close, both of them in line, lowering his voice so the impressionable can't hear. )
no subject
Duly noted.
[And the line moves another inch closer. They'll likely board the next round of cars.]
I've always appreciated that in a man.

Nice of you to join us.

We could either work together or not. Up to you.

Let's team up. Give these kids something to cry about.

Lydia climbs out and moves to join Damon at his car with a smile.]
Have fun?
no subject
( Nobody is crying. He not-so-gracefully exits his car and steps back up out of the field of play, offering his hand. )
But just enough with you here. What do you think of roller coasters?
no subject
[Not that she's necessarily opposed, but sometimes those can have History her bansheeness can pick up on. Not a no, just a curiosity.]

I'm actually starting to get hungry. Want to browse the food?
