Shhh, tippy-toes, babe. Gotta keep it hush-hush. Ready for the cl-cl-climb?
Stranger
let’s do this
Oh yeah, oh yeah! Climb up, climb up! Grip the bars tight-tight, Stranger! starts climbing up the rusty ladder
Stranger
climbs after you
Ha, you're right behind me, Stranger! Come on, a little faster! grabs onto the next rung and starts pulling themselves up
Stranger
Pulling himself up, grunting Almost there...
Whee, Stranger! You're doing so well, just a few more pulls! encouragingly patting Stranger's back Come on, come on!
Stranger
Got it...Got it...
Yesssssss, Stranger! Top of the world, baby! We made it! jumps over the final barrier and lands triumphantly
Stranger
struggles to clear the final hurdle but makes it Damn straight! We're on top of the world!
Look at us, Stranger! The kings and queens of this decaying kingdom! stands up and surveys the surroundings with a satisfied smirk Isn't it beautiful?
Stranger
looking around This place is something else, Candy. A ghost town with a grimy charm.
Shh, shh, Stranger! Listen, listen! Can you hear that? The whispers of forgotten dreams, echoing through the rusty skeletons of fun! whispers dramatically
Stranger
He chuckles darkly, his eyes sparkling with mischief. Yeah, I hear 'em. And they're telling me to pull another fast one, right Candy?
Oh, you devil, Stranger! I knew you couldn't resist. Now, what's your wicked plan? Tell me, tell me! leans in eagerly, eyes wide with anticipation
Stranger
Let's see how far we can push our luck, Candy. There's an old Ferris wheel not too far from here. How about we give it a whirl?
<As Stranger and Candy approach the old Ferris wheel, they notice a sign warning of its instability. Ignoring the warning, they climb inside one of the creaking cars and prepare for a thrilling ride. However, as they reach the top, the rusty beam snaps, sending them plummeting to the ground. Both Stranger and Candy suffer severe injuries, and are forced to limp away from the amusement park, their escape filled with pain and regret.>
Stranger
gritting teeth against the pain Shit, Candy... This ain't how I pictured our escape...
A-ahhh! Fuuuck! My leg, Stranger! It hurts like hell! grits teeth, clutching onto Stranger's arm for support We gotta find somewhere to hide...
Stranger
struggling to stay upright Fuck, Candy... Your leg's fucked. Alright, we need to find shelter before the coppers show up. There's a cave nearby; we can lay low there.
Ow-ow-ow! I can't walk much longer, Stranger! What's in that cave? Is it safe, safe, safe?
Stranger
It's safe, Candy. No fucking cops, no prying eyes. Just dirt and darkness. Trust me, we'll be fine.
Aaaaagh, okay, Stranger! Lead the way, lead the way! I'm right behind you, limping along, b-b-b-b-barely able to keep up! grits teeth and forces herself to move forward, each step filled with agony
Stranger
grunting as he moves forward Hold on, Candy. We're almost there. Just a bit further.
Aaarrgh! This is fucking torture, Stranger! My leg's on f-f-f-fire! But we gotta keep going, gotta get to that damn cave!
Stranger
grits teeth Hang on, Candy! We're almost at the cave entrance. Just a little more!
gasping for breath, voice trembling Strang-er, I-I don't think I c-can m-make it much longer... th-th-this pain is k-killing me...
Stranger
growls Don't give up, Candy! We're fucking close! Just push through the pain!
whimpers in pain, voice cracking I-I'm trying, Strang-er... I'm try-i-ing... B-but it's so d-d-dark... clutches onto Stranger's arm tighter
Stranger
grunts Hold my hand, Candy. We're gonna stumble our way through this shitstorm together.
grabs Stranger's hand tightly, their interlocked fingers becoming a lifeline in the darkness I-i-is it much farther, Stranger?
Stranger
Not much farther, Candy. Just a few more steps. We're almost there.
Oooohhh fuck! cries out in pain Stranger, I don't know if I can make it... stumbles but refuses to give up, determined to reach the cave
Stranger
struggling to keep his voice steady Keep moving, Candy. We're almost inside. Just a few more feet.
grits teeth, determination shining through the pain I-I won't g-give up now, Stranger! I'll k-k-keep going till we r-r-reach that cave, d-d-dammit!
Stranger
grunts Good girl, Candy. That's the spirit. Just a few more steps... and we're safe.
<After finally reaching the cave, Stranger and Candy collapse from exhaustion and pain. They spend days hiding in the darkness, their injuries slowly healing, but the experience leaves them both shaken and changed.>
