Cosmere Characters Who Should Go to an Amusement Park Together
Cosmere characters at an amusement park requested by @echoingcave :)
I have done characters at Disneyland and characters at a Ren Faire, so in order to change this one up a bit, I'm going to think about which pairs of characters (from different worlds, just for an extra challenge) would most enjoy going to an amusement park together.
1. Kaladin & Vin: Going on the tallest, fastest, most extreme coasters they can
And yet...they're not really thrilling enough.
Kaladin: I mean...it was fun, but it was no "flying at the front of a highstorm."
Vin: Yeah--is it really freefall if you have a seatbelt? Jumping off of buildings is more exciting.
Kaladin: Another?
Vin: Heck yeah!
2. Renarin & Spook: Going on the tallest, fastest, most extreme coasters they can
The rides are terrifying, yes. But they love it.
Renarin: You're right! Closing your eyes on the ride DOES make it scarier!
Spook: Still not why I'm wearing the blindfold, but glad I helped, I guess.
3. Wax and Ann: Killing it at the shooting games
This is after Ann gets her glasses.
Wax: So what are you going to do with your six large stuffed animals?
Ann: Let's just say the holidays are covered! What are you going to do with yours?
Wax: Kids.
Ann: Awww!
Ann: Your shooting skills make you a good father.
Wax: Thank you?
4. Lift and Siri: Can't stop eating
Siri: Phew, I'm stuffed! I can't believe we got through that funnel cake! It was the size of your head!
Lift: Ooooh, that stand has birthday cake popcorn!
Siri: LET'S FREAKIN GO
5. Steris and Vivenna: Making a plan (and sticking to it)
By hour two, Vivenna definitely has a crush on Steris.
Steris: People say the restaurant is good, but slammed at lunchtime.
Vivenna: So we eat a big lunch at 10am?
Steris: And then at noon we can go to that ride whose line is always long!
Vivenna: Sneak in while people are busy at lunch? Brilliant!
Steris: No, you're brilliant!
6. Dalinar and Nikaro: Keep riding the same ride over and over again
They're on their fourth go. It's barely noon.
Dalinar: Every time I ride this ride, I understand the narrative better.
Dalinar: I feel so close to grasping the meaning of the dynamite that seemingly explodes and sends the minecart rocketing forward.
Nikaro: I mostly just like this one and don't see why I'd do something else.
Nikaro: But you do you, man.
7. Shallan and Kelsier: Determined to do it all
And they will NOT be taking any sort of "breaks." Not when they could uncover another aspect of this amusement park!
Kelsier: Okay, so you go to that show and record it, and I'll go to this one at the same time. Then we can swap recordings while waiting in line, and that's, like, three things checked off at once.
Shallan: You're not allowed to record the shows.
Kelsier: ...
Shallan: ...
Kelsier: Ha ha, that's a good one!
Shallan: Ha ha, I had you going for a second!
8. Sebarial and Vasher: Found a shady seat to nap
Just two old men in big sun hats, snoozing away.
Vasher: You're awfully generous.
Vasher: Every time Shallan appears, you hand her more money.
Sebarial: ...
Sebarial: You see nothing.
9. Tress and Susebron: Experiencing childlike wonder
The two of them are looking around with huge, wondering eyes. They may or may not be holding hands.
Tress: Look! That ride is giant teacups! We should go!
Susebron: Tress! I think that's a real princess over there!
Tress: This place is amazing!
10. Yumi and Wayne: Having fun shopping
There are crafts, souvenirs, hats...
Yumi: Tell me honestly.
Yumi: Is this hat too large?
Wayne: [studies the ten gallon hat, taller than Yumi's own head, that she is currently wearing]
Wayne: If anything, I think you need to buy a miniature version of that hat to wear on top.
Yumi: BRILLIANT
11. Dusk and Szeth: Trying to find somewhere that isn't so damn crowded
Look, they gave it a try, but crowds are not their thing.
Szeth (who has not otherwise spoken for three hours): I should say that I'm grateful that you found this spot.
Dusk (who has also not otherwise spoken for three hours): You were the one who figured out how to climb over the dumpsters to get behind them.
Szeth: Admittedly it is slightly smelly back here.
Dusk: But so quiet.
Szeth: Yes.
Szeth: I like it too.
12. TenSoon and Nightblood: Left outside
Sadly, neither dogs nor swords are allowed inside amusement parks.
Nightblood: It's discrimination!
TenSoon: Swords aren't a protected class.
Nightblood: They WANT their park to be full of evil!
TenSoon: I think they want their park to be empty of murder.
Nightblood: ...
Nightblood (sulkily): How come you're on THEIR side?
