Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Alright then! How about the haunted house?" She asked. "You're not afraid of fake zombies are you?" She giggled.

"Ok." Shadow replied, following behind him. As they went through the dark mansion, hired employees were in different rooms, doing seemingly disgusting things. As you wondered through, you could talk to the people and take closer looks at what they were doing, though most probably wouldn't want to. In the basement was a torture chamber where a man was beating a fake rotten corpse and a dwarfed man with a missing eye laughed like a lunitic, and in the kitchen was a disfigured woman who was cooking something that smelled disgusting. There were bloody hands all over the walls and the dim lights and paint made it look like everything in the house was rotting. "Oh wow... the details are amazing." Shadow muttered, leaning in a little closer to Damien as she ran a hand down the wall.

"That's true. But wait, didn't we just eat?" She giggled. "Well, I guess we had that long ride in-between. I wonder what else is in here?" She smiled as they walked through more rooms. In the attic was a hall of broken dolls, and a little girl with fake blood dried on her throat, and fake marks on her head as if she had had brain surgery sat, playing with wide eyes like one of the dolls. Back downstairs, there were a few more rooms with different set ups, like a fake bleeding corpse of a husband while the mother knitted and so on until they reached the exit. "Wow. That was elaborate. I wonder what the inspiration was." She said.

"Well, I chose the first place. How about you choose the next?" She asked, almost like a bubbly school girl.

Shadow walked over to the stand and picked up the gun. Unlike most shooting ranges, the guns were well made like real guns and shot polymer pellets to prevent anyone from getting hurt. She turned her head and noticed a row of rather decent prizes from teddy bears to gold and silver jewelry. "How much is the game?" She asked the guy behind the stand.
"Everything is free. Everything comes with the tickets." He replied. Shadow smiled and turned to Damien.
"Hey David, want a new pair of cuff-links?" She asked, gesturing to the silver and diamond studded pair with an onyx rim. The design was beautifully hand carved in the shape of roses, and looked as if it would cost a fortune.

"Ok." She smiled. The man moved out of the way as Shadow fired a test shot on a test target, hitting a bulls eye. "Not bad." She muttered, then took a deep breath. Her body seemed to be consumed by a silent aura that made her seem as if she was death himself. At that, all movement seemed to slow as she whipped her arm around, firing off the remaining 5 bullets quickly as if it were second nature to her. She let out the air she held in, and put the gun down on the counter, getting a perfect store. Slowly, the aura began to fade.
"Incredible. This is the first perfect score I've seen in a while, and probably the first from a woman! What would you like, young lady."
"Can I see your selection of cuff links?" Shadow asked sweetly, though after seeing her performance, her innocent expression seemed twisted. The man behind the counter put up several different pairs of the same cuff-links in different colors, along with other symbols and jewels embedded into them, including a pair to the one displayed that had onyx roses and diamond stems on a silver base. "Which one do you want?" She asked.

"Well, the administration told me to try and hold them until the Gracious Absolute Leader was able to visit. I was ordered to give him a pair weather he shot or not, just because he was gracing us with his presence. You know, black roses and all. I don't know when that is, but hopefully, I should have enough time to order a new pair before he comes. If you like them, take them. The lady earned it." He said, hesitantly handing over the case to Damien.

"Thank you very much." She told the man behind the counter. "Besides, if the grand absolute leader hasn't come for the opening, despite it being dedicated to him, it probably means they ran out of money before finishing the park and didn't tell him this place existed yet because of it."

"Well, that is true. They are building a new section, that hasn't been open to the public yet. It's called 'Jasper's Circus.' It's actually going to open in a month or two." The man replied.

"See what I mean. They probably figured they'd make enough money to finish this place from the expensive tickets until then. If I had to guess, he'll probably get an invitation for his birthday, which is also in a month or two."
