Rating: TBA
Status: Complete

Not only was it really strange to have been in this weird new land for a week, but when he woke up that morning and looked out his window, he saw something even stranger. There were machines of all kinds set up around the city. They rose high into the sky and circled, dipped and weaved in between other machines and attractions. He was pretty sure he didn't want to go find out what they were or why they had suddenly been put there, but he also knew that as a warrior he couldn't rightly allow himself to become lax in his knowledge of the place.

He finally mustered up the strength to face whatever was out there about mid morning. That and his stomach had started to protest its neglect. He pulled on his cloak and boots then left his room. He avoided looking at anyone. He didn't want to start a meaningless conversation or worse yet, get to know someone. He stopped outside the dorm and looked up. The machines were enormous. He'd never seen anything like them and while that didn't totally unnerve him, it did mean he'd have to ask someone what they were. Maybe one of those goblins.

But first, his stomach. It needed appeasing. He walked by a few of the concession stands, noting strange foods on display. Or, what he supposed was food. It smelled like food. Just not like any food he'd ever had before. Finally, he stepped up to one and looked the offerings over. He scanned the list of available foods behind the faceless vendor and looked down, trying to figure out which was which. Nachos, cotton candy, funnel cakes, corn dogs, fried twinkies, caramel apples, chili fries, and all manner of other things. He recognized the fries for what they were; fried potatoes. The other things didn't looks all that appetizing.

He was still trying to decide what to order when he heard someone's feet shuffling behind him.

While Tonks was familiar with the idea of a muggle amusement park, it wasn't something she'd exactly had a lot of experience with. It seemed like it was just a diversion to help people who couldn't use magic have some excitement. But, despite that, she was powerfully curious. And as she and Marcus walked together, she linked hands with him, and pointed things out with her other hand.

"Oh, look! How do you suppose they make that go up like that without magic? Or look at that one, spinning around so fast..." And so on and so forth. And, of course, she tended to trip every few seconds or so, but that was pretty much par for the course for her. She didn't pay it any attention.

In the end, though, hunger pulled her from the fascinating rides, which she was desperate to get on, but thought she shouldn't because she was pregnant, and she saw a sign advising against it. But Merlin, those things looked fun... but her stomach was completely empty and complaining about that fact, so she reluctantly followed her lover into the tent.

She grinned cheekily at the handsome man who turned around to face them, knowing very well that his reaction was to her hair. She was used to it. "It's natural, sort of." She informed him, and then turned to the menu. "Hmmm... I've heard of some of this stuff. I think I want chips and gravy, and a caramel apple." Pregnancy cravings? What pregnancy cravings? "And a hot dog, with everything."

With the important business of food attended to, she could turn her attention to the man who had been staring at her. She grinned at him once more. "Wotcher, I'm Tonks! Have you been to one of these muggle park things before? I think they're bloody brilliant."
