Video/Potentional Action. Abandoned amusement parks are dope.
[Some of you might get worried calls from Linda, Laura's tormented case worker.
The general questioning is: "HAVE YOU SEEN LAURA I HAVEN'T FOUND HER IN HOURS I'VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE."
But then, a Laura entry pops up sometime later in the day:
Her, looking curious, with the telltale signs of vegetation outside of city limits behind her.
She points the camera at the setting of the abandoned amusement park, some disappointment soon to be prevalent in her tone; she'd sneaked out and headed off to the Abandoned City or whatever people call it, mostly to get away from society and sort of marinate in her own thoughts. It's one of those months. Or many of those months. As much as she's tried adapting and appreciates her freedom, sometimes you just need to step away from it all and have your own time.
... In places Linda tells you not to ever sneak off to, of course.
Sue her, she never listens to her authority figures. She's not scared of monsters, anyway; she's already killed two getting here. It's why she's got some tar-colored blood on her sleeves and knuckles.]
We should repair this. I don't know what it is, but it looks like -- a fun place. Some of these have... strange wheels... and cars on railroads. ¿Para qué sirve? Do people who move trains practice here?
[She wanders around, her footfalls echoing in the isolated place. There's a rotted up old booth where you 'shoot' guns for prizes, but the signs are pretty overgrown with vines. She picks up a fake rifle and aims it at the blank target board beyond her, smacking on some bubblegum thoughtfully.]
Is it a place for soldiers to practice, too? It is very colorful for a soldier, but we had some color, too. They liked to put cartoons on the walls. Maybe there are cartoons on walls here, too... Maybe there are lights that make it bright. Like Vegas.
[..... Aha.
She points the camera up, up, up, toward the highest point of the ferris wheel.]
I think you see everything if you climb to the top.
[... I'mma climb to the top.]
[Feel free to have any ACTION threads as well; she's just wandering around, really, enjoying the quiet.]

[Because Laura had made a comment about his colorful vocabulary. Actually, it was mostly one color.]
You don't have actual kids, do you?
no subject
[ He just calls it like he sees it, brah. ]
And why do you keep asking me that?
no subject
[He cannot possibly imagine why.]
Because if you had kids, you wouldn't be such an uptight asshole about them.
no subject
[ 凸( •̀_•́ )凸 ]
I am not an "uptight asshole". I just want her to do better when I know she's capable of it.
no subject
[Priorities, Doc. Priorities.]
How 'bout she's been through shit, so let her be a kid for a bit first? There's time enough for toeing the line.
