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.]

Re: [Action]
A rope that slows your fall if you slip.
[Action]
I don't need that.
[She swings upward, stands on the metal pole she'd just been hanging from, and leaps up to the next pole. Out of Frank's natural reach, this time. The kid doesn't seem particularly worried about falling or getting hurt.]
Re: [Action]
[He's only...half joking. He's seen some weird shit since he got here.]
[Action]
I like being higher up...!
[Despite the concerning lack of worry on her behalf, she does seem graceful at this whole ordeal.
Not a wobbling foot or unsteady hand at all.]
Re: [Action]
Don't make me fucking come up there.

[And when Laura says a thing, she means it.]
Down below means things can reach you. Like monsters.
