joy ride (open)

Thanatos had been sitting across from the ferris wheel, watching the beautifully symmetrical contraption spinning round and round in a never-ending display of a perfect mirror image. It was simply a glorious site to behold, and Thanatos could stare at it all day. He most likely would have, too, if something hadn’t pulled his attention away from it. A green-haired young man, appearing to be slightly older than Thanatos himself, was causing some sort of a minor commotion.

After watching the situation move from the front of the line to the back, Thanatos himself stood up and moved quietly to the back of the line. Although he didn’t exactly approve of people making a scene for no reason in what often came off as an attempt to attract attention, the antics of people here and there always gave Thanatos a sense of amusement. Once in a while he would join in for either party, other times he’d stand back and act as somebody who’d been offended by absurd behavior.

The original ‘mastermind’ behind the plan had looped another green-haired man into his little ploy. However, the unwitting bystander didn’t seem to get exactly what was going on. His words and actions made a small smirk appear on Thanatos’ face, though it quickly vanished when he reminded himself his lips curled up more on one side of his face than the other.

He paid close attention to what the first man was doing and saying, catching his name as he stated it. Cail, huh? With a shrug, Thanatos slipped onto the ride in the same car as the green-haired pair. Really nothing would amuse Thanatos more today in neutral Unova than riding something as beautiful as this ferris wheel. Pathetic…there’s nothing to do here. A disgruntled sound escaped the suited young man’s throat and he looked to the green-haired pair.

”You realize, Cail,” he said, addressing the original ‘genius’ behind the plan with a well-faked air of pompous ass. ”…roping others into little ploys will seriously backfire on you one day. You may want to re-consider that in the future to make your poor stunts more believable.”

It appeared that today's events got a little more interesting. His 'chosen' companions seemed distant, and awkward. He appeared to have no intent on getting along whatsoever. Well, with what Cail pulled off he didn't exactly expect the stranger to pull him into an embrace right after or something. However, he didn't expect another person to waltz right in with them. A small grin took form on his features as Cail slowly turned to see a 'delightful' familiar face. As usual, he had greeted him with cold words. As always Thanatos was unimpressed by Cail's little stunts and tactics. "Of course I know that, you nitwit. I just saw an opportunity and jumped in." He scoffed a bit at the other, it sort of amused him how Thanatos often behaved like this as if it were a routine. "Well, excuse me for being 'unprofessional.' You even came in tow with us... just strolling along inside without even waiting. I highly doubt you came here to see me."

"But, hey, grab a seat or somethin' because the ride is starting." As if on cue, the small cabins began turning and going higher and higher. With slight curiosity, the green-haired rogue leaned himself towards a window by N to peek at the view. The people waiting outside grew smaller until they resemble tiny insects. Cail was allowed to appreciate the view a bit, right? It wasn't anything like Phenac, but it was in no disappointing either. Still, was this all there was to it? "Heh, not bad. Don't know what we can do 'bout our new found company, bud." He said, glancing at the two before chuckling to himself.
