"Really?" she asked him. "That'd be awesome if you could get it to work." she laughed a little before beginning to walk forward. "Let's go, then, shall we?"

Kage started after her, laughing as well. He'd had some experience with mechanics, but not all that much. Still, it would be worth a shot, and it would make Phoenix happy.
"Right behind ya!" he shouted, keeping up with his new acquaintance. He made sure to give her the lead, however, as he did not know where the ride was.

Deciding to make conversation as they walked, Hotaru turned to him for a moment. "How long have you been in Tora?" she asked. "I haven't seen you around before."

Kage smiled at the redhead, his mind running through the usual amusement protocols.
"Five years and counting," he replied. "You haven't seen me around because I'm... well, I'm kinda not around. I just stay out of everyone's way most of the time."

Hotaru shrugged. "Maybe, that and I haven't been in the clans for long." she counted in her head. "About a year, actually. Unusual for the ones my age but, yeah." she giggled lightly.

"I suppose you're not going to tell me your age, if not your name, right?" asked Kage. "Of course, it's not a big deal." This Phoenix girl intrigued Kage. She was fun, and mysterious to boot. Not to mention that Kage loved a good challenge now and again.

Hotaru laughed at his question. "I don't mind sharing my age, I'm seventeen."

Tekka skipped backwards through the amusement park happily, red and black fedora bobbing on her head. She was humming a tune she had heard on the radio that day. "Hey Soul sister, ain't that Mister Mister on the radio, stereo..." She sang, trailing off and lapsing back into humming when the words escaped her.
She sat on the back of a zebra in mid-leap on the merry-go-round and swung her legs in joy. A nice day in a run down amusement park with the spoils of her last crime spree lining her pockets. Life was most certainly good.
Footsteps approached from her side, she couldn't see who they were, and they couldn't see her. But if the ride were to rotate a little, if it was turned on...
Well, that'd be a nice surprise.

"Look, there it is!" shouted Kage, pointing to the merry-go-round. Without hesitation, he made his way to the control box and broke it open. The innards looked simple enough for a ride or two.
You and your puzzles... rang Jeremiah's voice in his head, chuckling a little. Kage began fiddling with the switches and gears, trying to figure out what would have gone wrong. Within a few minutes, a makeshift rig had been assembled inside the console, and the young man initiated it, hoping the ride would start.

Hotaru waited as Kage was soon able to fix the merry-go-round. She smiled when it started moving. "You did it!" she told him, laughing a little.
She smiled grew when she noticed a familiar face moving across the merry-go-round. "One surprise after another, huh, Tekka?" she asked with a grin.

Tekka was brought back to the ride when the humming started, followed by the classic circus music that was associated with said ride. The Zebra began to move up and down and the tiny thief gripped the pole in her hand to stay steady. She grinned as Phoenix appeared in her line of sight.
"Hiya Phoenix!" She laughed, grinning at the sight of the older girl. She jumped off of the ride and onto the firm ground, catching sight of a guy nearby. She blinked. Jack hadn't come home depressed lately so this guy couldn't be a threat. She grinned at him. "Hello Mr. Person I have yet to know, I'm Tekka." She extended her arm for a handshake.

Kage couldn't help but grin at this new girl's outgoing attitude. More and more interesting people had been introduced in his life since that one Duel.
"Name's Kage," he replied, taking Tekka's hand firmly and squeezing just slightly. "Nice to meet you."

Tekka squeezed twice as hard. Firm handshakes were something she had grown up with. So was the game Mercy. It made for interesting introductions. When the hand was released she took the hat off of her head and made a deep bow. "Well then Kage, it's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance. I'm the Thief of the Tora clan. Ever need something stolen or ransacked, look me up." She straightened up and returned the hat to her head with a wide grin. "I'd give you a business card if it wasn't incriminating evidence."
The blond turned to Phoenix. "So what's up with you?" She asked brightly, curious to the goings on of her clanmates.

Hotaru shrugged her shoulders. "I was bored so I came up here..." she laughed as she scratched her head. "I didn't realize the park was like this." she let out a heavy sigh, frowning slightly. "Sucks, doesn't it?"

"It doean't have to..." Kage reminded her, gesturing at the now working ride. "Find yourself a mount and have some fun, Phoenix!" He laughed heartily, taking a running start and taking the zebra that Tekka had ridden before seeing them.
