[ She can try-- okay, no she can't. She shakes her head with a hint of a returning smile. The snark's not going away, though. ]

That skill included in your training, or did you go and learn it off the job?

[wingenvy]

'Fraid not- it's all natural. [Cheeky, victorious grin goes here! Because ha, he got her to smile. (He doesn't mind the snark anyway.)]

[thestormishere]

[ Wait, so if she's good at bringing things down and he's good at bringing them up again... then what the hell do they need a rollercoaster for? 8| ]

Figures.

[ At least she didn't pull out the 'impossible' line again, though. She just puts her hands on her hips as she looks between him and the park beyond. ]

[wingenvy]

And no complaints allowed! [Zack picks up the pace, leading the way with a spark of eagerness. It just looks so much damn fun, how can anyone resist?] Hey, any thoughts on where to start? Rides, games, food... you choose!

[thestormishere]

[ He's asking her to choose something?! Her eyebrows go up again with good-natured exasperation... but exasperation all the same, and she puffs out a sigh with gaze drifting before finally going for the first thing that comes to mind. ]

With a crowd like this, I'm betting the games are all pretty hard.

[ FOR AMATEURS. ]

[wingenvy]

You're not worried we'll lose or something, are you?

[Because he'll just take that comment as a challenge, you know.]

[thestormishere]

[ Scoff! Lightning shakes her head slightly. ]

It's almost a shame that... apparently, everything's being manned by those droid things.

[wingenvy]

Well, don't sweat it. I think it'll be nice to see them put to a better use than just kidnapping us all the time.

[thestormishere]

[ -- Kidnapping, ugh, though actually... that's not where she was going with that. She frowns and considers a moment, but then: ]

Yeah... but you can't fool 'bots.

[wingenvy]

Fool them? What do you mean?

[CLEAR MISINTERPRETATION THERE. Why, Light, you're not thinking of cheating, are you.]

[thestormishere]

[ Lightning pauses again- it's not like what she's alluding to is something she's really made a habit out of... like, ever, but. Oh well. No use lying to him. ]

... Fooling them. Into thinking you can't do something you're already good at.

[ There's a difference between cheating and hustling, Zack. Kind of. 8Db ]

[wingenvy]

I don't think there's any crime in trying. [He's rather interested in seeing this, actually.]

[thestormishere]

[ Haha, what. NOOO ZACK, DON'T ENCOURAGE HER. ]

-- It wouldn't work at all, with you standing there grinning your face off. Everyone would know something was up.

[ Because she figures that would be what it would turn into: trying to trick someone else nearby instead. The droids are one thing, though... is it worth trying something like that on someone who's not a product of the weirdos doing the experiments and stuff? ]

[wingenvy]

[BUT IT SOUNDS SO FUN.]

But I always look like this!

[He does try to ease out of smiling with that much enthusiasm, though; it'd be a lot less fun if he gives it away.]
