After exiting the house of mirrors, the light from the outside made Ty wince as she adjusted her vision from dark to light, and it was then that she noticed a familiar white bengal tiger that was rescued from pirates had been following them closely. In her delight she reached over to pet the feline with a smile and then frowned when she understood her feelings.
“Kiryu. Duchess says she is thirsty and hungry. I hope you kept meat for her in your pocket dimension.” The redhead stepped back so the magus could attend to his companion.
A Pilaf land employee approached both Lilith and Ty while they stood by with a greeting of thanks for helping them find the fiendish monkey boy and asked the two teenage girls to follow her to a closed section of the park to test ride their latest roller coaster. In Tiger Lily’s excitement, she intertwined her fingers with the teenage witch and rushed over, there was no way she would pass up such an opportunity.
Through a gated 12 meter wall, a small door was opened up, which they were allowed through and beyond it was the roller coaster in question. It had a single mining cart on the track, with several turns, and loop da loops into artificial mining caves which were part of the ride. The mining cart had two seats, one facing the direction of the track, and the other facing the rear with two levers in the middle.
Tiger Lily pulled Lilith into the cart, she sat in the seat with her back facing the forward track direction, and looked at the mauve haired witch sit directly across from her.
The employee explained they will be paid 100,000 zeni for the untested ride, then proceeded to explain the levers in the middle, one of them made the cart spin along the track, and the other changed the direction of the cart whether it would go through the roller coaster in the right direction, or backwards position. Cushioned lap bars were snugly secured, it was the only thing keep them down in the cart, without a harness, and that alone was questionable with the loop da loops. The hat wearing employee smiled slyly and asked if either of them had any questions.
“Nope~” Tiger Lily grinned. [387/2,000] Lilith Nevermore

Stepping out into the light, Lilith pulled the wide brim of her hat lower. She much preferred the darkness. Shadows didn’t try to stab her in the eyes. Her nose wrinkled with quiet disdain as she watched the source of today’s social struggles waste her time on the animal. At this point it didn’t even surprise her. Thirsty and hungry... Bah. A proper familiar should be able to subsist on their master’s mana alone. Perhaps she had given Sir Miyazawa too much credit... Granted, he was still an amateur summoner. And much too lenient at that. She shouldn’t spend too much time around her, lest she too started going soft... Unfortunately, just before the witch could take her leave, the red-haired menace dragged her off to another adventure. Far too literally. Simply snatched her by the hand and rushed off. The excited tomboy probably didn’t even notice the frail lady struggling and protesting. “Hnngh, what do you think you are doing? Release me at once.” Yet she found herself pulled along like an uncooperative dog taken for a walk. Gah, what was this mortal, a half gorilla? Finally the witch was forced into some sort of ride that mimicked a rickety minecart a little too well... Her crimson gaze wandered along the track. Uuuup... And doooown... Oh. Oh no. Instead of dwelling on the impending doom, she turned to glare daggers at the smiling buffoon in front of her. “I never agreed to this...” Her bitter mutter was barely audible beneath the employee’s explanation. When the peasant actually offered to clarify, she immediately took the chance. “Yes, I have several questi-” Too late. “-ooooooOOONS?!?!” A most unladylike shriek echoed through the caverns as the cart suddenly launched itself forward. Some crazy people might’ve found the rocket-like acceleration impressive. Amusing even. Lilith did not. The pale girl clutched her hat with one hand and the only piece of safety with the other. Her cold facade shattered beneath the weight of genuine terror. Speed she could handle. Heights were no problem. But combined, the two twisted her insides upside down. ...That’s what it felt like anyway. Her scream only ended once her lungs ran out of breath. Gasping for air, she watched as the first loop approached. Her wide-eyed stare shifted between the other passenger and the control levers between them. “Do... not...!”Words: 391 | 778/2000 Natural PL at start: 12,251 Tags: Ty

Tiger Lily laughed rather than scream, she missed everything Lilith had to say in the fun of being launched across the track, they dove under the ground into a dark cavern full of brightly colored gems, and then returned to the bright sunny outdoors at top speed through the loop-da-loop. Without a proper harness a typical human would have fallen out by this point, it would require quite a bit of strength to prevent themselves from falling out with just the lap bar, and the pit fall feeling was obvious to Tiger Lily who reached over to Lilith to grab her by the shoulders to lock her in place of her seat as they were upside down on the track. A bit of ki was used to remain in her seat, being able to fly, kept her hovering just above the seat until they resumed vertical alignment.
“Oh! The lap bar was never going to hold anyone down from falling, they need to adjust the safety a bit.” Tiger Lily mused as she released Lilith’s shoulders as they were jolted around sharp turns and dive into more caverns with animatronics of Emperor Pilaf holding a dragon ball, while Mai held on to his rock climbing harness, and Shu grabbing on to the Emperor’s ankle after his rope had snapped.
“Aww! So cute! Emperor Pilaf adventures!” Ty commented as the ride slowed down at that point then launched them again at the end of the cave for another loop da loop, and on instinct she helped Lilith remain on her seat since there seemed to be a pattern with the roller coaster.
The third mining cave was of the monkey boy trying to steal Emperor Pilaf’s dragon ball, along with an overweight blue haired woman in a hover motorcycle wearing a pink tunic that read: Burra, which means donkey at Taco King, an audio clip played of Emperor Pilaf screaming ‘Thieving monkey!’ and finally they reached the last cave which had white petrified forest with an image of Baba Yaga sitting on a crystal ball ‘Look into my crystal ball to see your future!’ then a flash of their photo being taken practically blinded them.
“Weee!” Ty smiled as they reached the end of the ride, at that point she pulled the lever to do the ride again, but backwards.”Again!” [390] [1,168/2,000]

While it would now and forever more go unmentioned, without Ty’s quick thinking Lilith would’ve dropped out of the ride two loops ago. A shade of pink painted her cheeks, but she bit her tongue stubbornly. No, not a word. Her feeble strength could barely save her hat, let alone herself. Still, she would never admit it. Rather, she stared at the cheery menace with a mixture of horror and disbelief. “I beg your pardon?!” It was more of a protest than an actual question. Oh, she had heard the comment fine. So they were riding an actual death trap. Lovely. How could this possibly get any worse? Well, turns out Lady Luck didn’t take kindly to being tempted like that. Upon feeling the ride slowing down, the mauve-haired teen looked around. She got a generous second or two to admire the scenery... The mildly amusing sight of the benevolent Emperor and his loyal companions... Before getting launched for another loop. Aaand another shrill scream. “HIEEEEEEEEE!” As another slowdown graced her, she spent it trying to find a way out. Maybe if she could grab her wand and freeze the cart in place... Her desperate eyes swept over another familiar scene. Ah, Burra... She recalled reading about her in the castle. Supposedly the plump woman was the monkey’s ally... A con-artist and a massive pervert who shamelessly showed off her underwear, if memory served. Surely the sources here were reliable. Finally, after seconds that felt like years, the end was in sight. The young witch dared to breathe a sigh of relief. ...Until a bright flash blinded her. And captured perhaps the most unflattering picture of her to date. Still seeing stars, she silently begged for the torture to end. She would rather take a night in an iron maiden than suffer through this again. ...So of course the excited co-rider spoke the unholiest word imaginable at the moment. Again. “NnnnnnooOOOOOOO!!!” Her scream echoed through the tunnel. In a desperate effort to stop the ride, Lilith reached for the controls. A huge mistake in hindsight. Instead of reaching the lever that controlled the direction, her trembling hand accidentally slapped the one that made the whole cart spin around. Either something was broken, or the whole thing was designed by a twisted sadist, but the ride kept spinning wildly. The forces in play slammed the dizzy girl against her seat like a rag doll. Her eyes were spinning so quickly in their sockets they resembled red spirals. And her pale skin was starting to take a faint green hue...

Lilith pulled the spinning mine cart lever, causing the roller coaster to go back wards while spinning, it was fun at first, but Ty was about to lose her lunch so she pulled on the lever to make it stop. After reaching the start of the track, the rided ended, the spinning feature was overwhelming. The Pilaf Land employee asked how they felt about the ride, Tiger Lily explained in thorough detail that a head rest with shoulder support harness was necessary from falling during the loop da loops, and that the spinning feature was too fast it should be reduced to 75% less spin speed. The woman handed them each the ‘future’ photograph which was digitized through a computer ai that captured their features. As well as the 100,000 zeni bill as promised for test riding their roller coaster. “Awe we look so cute.” Tiger Lily commented as she got up to get out of the cart, helping Lilith out as well, just in case she almost lost her lunch as well during the crazy roller coaster ride. “I am going to have this enlarged and put in my room at the tree house near the coast of Pilaf Land. Do you wanna go see it? The tree house I built, Lady Nevermore?”[226] [1,822/2,000] Lilith Nevermore

An eternity later the suffering finally ended... Not quite in the sweet, merciful embrace of death as the witch had hoped, but ended nonetheless. Her legs trembled and stomach rolled, so it was fortunate the girl had the courtesy to offer a helping hand. She would absolutely not complain. ...Except maybe about the photo. She squinted at the so-called future. “That looks nothing like me...” Though she had to admit the word cute did briefly visit her mind before she strangled it and buried its corpse in the depths of her mind. Hmph, she would much rather be called beautiful, terrifying or both. Tiger Lily’s suggestion was met with a suspicious glare. Lilith’s survival instincts were screaming at her, warning her to stay away from the dangerously insane mortal. However, her pampered noble upbringing reminded her that she was long overdue for a hot bath, a proper bed and a meal that didn’t include peanuts or hotdogs. ...No, she didn’t actually know what a tree house was, mind you. She imagined a tree about the size of a house carved hollow by magic. An aunt of hers used to live in one. Eventually she nodded. “Very well. You shall have the honor of housing me in your humble hovel.” Her tone darkened as she issued a vague warning. “Pray you do not disappoint me...”Words: 224 | 2,046/2,000 Natural PL at start: 12,251 Tags: Ty
