Now the towering structures, elaborate fixtures, steep, rolling tracks, everything has fallen into ruin; decayed, broken, shattered beyond repair. There are things lurking in the shadows, dark, dangerous things, grass creeping through the cracks in the walls until it entirely overtakes what is left.
But something glows from within the park...something is not quite what it seems...

AREA 1
AREA ONE: The Roller Coasters
They are still massive, with evidence that still remains about their former glory, though vines and dirt and weeds have crawled up into the interiors of each seat, each wheel, each handle, holding it steady.
Or are they?
THE MECHANICS: It seems you must take the coaster to the next area, though it's debatable whether or not the ride is actually safe. However, there seems to be no other option...
Roll 1d6 and continue until you have safely reached the next area.
1- You can't seem to get the coaster to move and are at a standstill until you figure it out. (try again) 2 - The coaster creaks forward a few feet, but you find yourself moving at a glacier pace, everything slow and creaky. Still, it is moving, at least... (success) 3 - The grass is thick around the tracks of the coaster. As you move forward, you manage to hit one of the patches and the coaster jerks, snapping your forward abruptly. It is painful and abrupt and the coaster moves no more. (-5 HP, try again) 4 - As you go up to the top of a hill, you can see the park around you for a brief moment before the coaster steeps sharply downwards and you are moving quickly - yet you manage to make it safely down to the end. (-2 HP, success) 5 - The coaster moves too quickly, too sharply. As you make a turn, you can feel yourself being dragged sideways with the momentum, careening out of the car and landing on the tracks below. (-10 HP, try again) 6 - You manage to get the coaster moving at a normal pace, surprisingly enough. How fortunate for you... (success)
AREA 2
AREA TWO: The Swings
The swings are falling apart, rickety, and entirely unsafe. They creak in the wind, twist and groan, splintered pieces of wood and shards of broken metal littering the ground beneath your feet.
If you listen hard enough, you may even be able to hear the music still playing...
THE MECHANICS: To get past the swings, you must climb to the top of them. There is a fence that you can climb down on the other side, but the swings block the path, and you must get over them before you can get to the other side. The chains are rusted and broken, and there are metal bits sticking out here and there, so it is relatively unsafe.
Roll 2d20. If your first dice is higher than your second dice, then you have made it across safely.
However, if your first dice is lower than your second dice, then you have not made it across and must try again. Take -2 HP for every try.
AREA 3
AREA THREE: The Gift Shop
What was once a bustling, busy place full of various trinkets to bring home now is a museum of what was once alive. Nothing has been moved since it was abandoned, but it has been left to ruin, things covered in the layers of dust, grime, and age that time has bestowed upon it.
On one of the shelves, however, there lies something glowing in the dark shadows...something very intriguing...but beware, the floor is unstable and unsafe...
THE MECHANICS: To get to the Blessings, you must first make it across the crumbling floor. You need 25 steps to get across.
Roll 1d6 until you get the alotted steps.

Near the bottom of the shelves of the broken down Gift Shop there are three glowing orbs that catch your eye...perhaps if you take one, no one will notice...

A shudder ran through Decyl's spine as he got closer to the Plaza. There was a lot of garbage around the area it seems, and the area just speaks of terror in his opinion. Yet why did they come here? A good question, yet there wouldn't be an answer unless he tries to look. So into the rabbit hole he goes.
He did not expect for the way, the only way, to the next location to be a rollar coaster. Oh man, what to do?

Luck must be on his side, for all his derping got him across. Hopefully lucky will smile upon his friend as well.

The place creaked and groaned and Hekhis' brows furrowed together as she looked at the dirt and weeds and vines that overgrew the remnants of something that looked as though it was once rather fun. She frowned, looking at the inside of the roller coaster, looking at each twisted wheel, the rotting wood... it didn't look like it would ever move, though....
but it did for Decyl and she watched him in shock as it rolled away with him.
Waiting patiently for it to return - which it eventually did - Hekhis cautiously climbed aboard it to see what would happen if she made the attempt to cross with it....
And she wasn't exactly sure what had happened when she suddenly found herself sprawled out on the tracks below, the car nowhere to be found.
Time to climb up again...

Back at the top, she swallowed hard before settling into the car again, pressing her feet against the back of the one in front of her to try and keep herself in this time.
As it went to the top of the hill, she couldn't help but take in the view of the park, sighing deeply as she admired it.
The view could only be admired for a minute, however, before the car went careening down sharply, causing her to shriek silently and quietly praying that she would be able to finish the trek this time.....
and fortunately she managed to (albeit slightly worse for wear) when she got to the other side where Decyl was.

Onana looked up and read the sign to the amusement park. She didn't think it lived up to its name. It was as abandoned as the rest of the Ruins. That didn't count as cool in her book. "This is lame. It should be called Lame Park. Because it's lame. Laaame."
Still, putting aside the park's lameness, she thought it looked fascinating. Her curiosity got the best of her and she just had to go inside. She headed through the entrance, over some scrap metal and a pile of flattened, waterlogged cardboard boxes.
After that, she went to the roller coaster. She took a seat in the ride and waited for it to start. When it did, it moved far too quickly. When it reached a turn, it sent her flying from her seat. "Owowowowowow!"

Decyl glared at the swings before attempting to climb up and make his way across. He sent his friend a glance before making his way over the contraption. It did not look safe, did not feel safe, and yet he somehow made it past in one go.
Never Again.

She watched Decyl climbing it, wincing at the state of the chains and the fact they looked like they would give you a disease or twelve....
In her attempt to climb, several barbs dug into her hands, but it was the snapping of the chain that sent her tumbling back down.
Ow.

The second attempt didn't go any better for her, actually.
Just more barbs and potentially bleeding hands (if they could bleed...)

Did she just not have the upper body strength for this?
Was someone sabotaging her?
Now she was imagining having tetanus though...

When she finally got to the top of the swing-ride (scraped up and slightly worse for wear), Hekhis held her hands out for Decyl to see, frowning at the punctures in it.
But she'd made it!

"You can do this! I believe in you!" Decyl yelled, only then realizing they never gave each other their name...wait. Name? What is a name?
They can figure this out later.
Giving the other a pat on the back for her success, Decyl went on ahead. Slowly, because he really wants to get to the destination with his friend.

She followed after him, rubbing her palms together as they approached the gift shop after the climb down the fence (which just hurt her hands more). It seemed rather quaint for something so broken, but a few steps into the room showed her just how broken it all was......
