Caspar sighs inwardly; he should have suspected that Harley would have an inside way to get them a seat up front. He gestures for Adia to go next before taking the seat on the other side. It feels better to have Adia in the middle, even though intellectually he knows that doesn't make a difference safety-wise.

"This is as far as the bar goes?" he asks, when the operator comes by to make sure their lap bar is locked in position.

The operator, a young woman with a green faux hawk, smiles toothily. "Any lower and it'd cut off your circulation. Can't imagine you'd want that in the company of two pretty ladies." She winks at Harley and Adia, then steps back to her control panel and sets the coaster into motion.

Caspar rolls his eyes once they're out of sight, although Harley's comment makes him snort good-naturedly. "The ol' days, back when I would've been made of metal."

"I like the clacking sound. It adds to the suspense." Adia already feels the anticipation building up inside of her, the higher they climb. "Look, Caspar! You can see the whole park from up here."

It is a beautiful view, he has to admit. Unfortunately, he doesn't get enough time to appreciate it as the car crests the hill and begins its rapid decent. Adia screams happily, although she's not quite brave enough to lift her arms. She grabs onto Caspar instead, who doesn't seem to mind, even as he's being jostled around by the coaster's twists and turns.

If Harley is hoping that this is the ride that will get Caspar to crack, she'll have to try something else.
