[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. )
Sure. Banshees eat, vampires pretend to eat. It's perfect.
( He was always the best at fitting in, at eating because it tastes good. Even when he was going on dates with Elena, too. Their date at the Italian restaurant. It was different with Rose, slightly different with Andie.
[Keep it simple, at least for this little adventure. She pushes up on her toes slightly to try and get the lay of the land, but she is short, so he probably stands a better shot of finding the grill than she does (4).]
( His natural (20) has him lightly tug the fabric of her shoulder and guide her around the surprising crowds that have been drawn from Mystic Falls to find several grills. Burger, veggie, salmon, chicken. )
[She'll opt for a veggie burger, since there are options available, along with a side of fries and a drink. Then she'll step aside and give Damon room to order while she waits.]
( Calories aside, a regular burger just tastes better, with the works of course, fries, and a beer as he guides them over to an adjacent picnic table. A quick (17) at his surroundings as he settles down. I'm guessing Cora and Stiles and Scott a few feet away are all apparent. Maybe even the Winchester's? )
[Yep, Cora and Stiles are engrossed in conversation a few tables down, with Scott not far from them on the phone. On the opposite side of the pavilion, Sam is recovering from choking on his churro and Dean is laughing.]
Lydia sits across from him, and picks up one of her fries.]
One event every week of the year. It's that, or skip town, or blow your brains out. Mystic Falls doesn't really do many non-historical field trips. It's all very insular and - well, racist.
Well, we have a mental health facility that would actually qualify as being called an insane asylum. They probably haven't updated their treatment practices to meet twenty-first century standards, period.
[She dusts the salt off her fingers as she speaks.]
And it was built on top of the remains of a Japanese relocation camp from World War II.

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?

They're certainly having a busy night.

Guess there's not much to do in a small town like Mystic Falls.
no subject
( Brutal truth is brutal. )

All small towns have their issues, for better or worse. It's not like Beacon Hills didn't have it's own problems.

Doesn't California have standards for their mental health facilities?
