Warnings: None

Aight, so me and Checkers are trying to make a skate park over at Hero's Rest and we gonna need some help.

[Beat moves aside to show off the State of the Skate Park. It is obvious that it needs quite a bit of Help. He stands in what looks to be the middle of a repurposed amphitheater. The only things that have been set up is a ramp and a grind rail from the stairs that are already part of the original architecture.]

It ain't much right now, but we got a lotta plans.

[Setting aside the shellphone, he rummages through his sketchbook, eventually flipping to a page with said plans. He holds it up to reveal a very rough drawing of his and Roxas' dream skate park for all to see.]

We thinkin' 'bout puttin' up a half-pipe somewhere 'round here— [He starts moving around, pointing out to a space each time. Boy, does he look excited about it, grinning from ear to ear. Very much like a kid in a candy store.] —coupla pyramids somewhere in the middle, an' a buncha rails and ramps all 'round. Yo, Checkers! Am I missin' anythin'?

[Roxas can be seen in the background, cleaning up part of the amphitheater that they hadn't gotten to. He turns to Beat.]

Maybe a bowl somewhere?

Nah, you's right. Gotta add that to the plan. [Then Beat turns back to the shellphone.] That too. Anyways, it's gonna be a lotta work, so if can help us out, we gonna owe you big time, yo! Jus' name your price!

[ooc: Beat is red and Roxas is blue. Either one of them or both will be answering replies!]

[Roller rink? It takes a bit for it to come to him, guessing that he means something something related to roller skates. Huh. Don't hear a lot about that in Japan.]

thats cause it aint one yo
these things is for doing tricks
probably works better with inline skates but i guess you can give it a shot with roller skates too

[He hasn't seen it done but he's absolutely open to it.]

[ This Victorian may not know about skateboarding, but at least roller skates had been invented by his time and was a popular pastime with many rinks being built. It was often a social pastime, however. ]

I think not. I do not own a pair of roller skates here, and skating on a surface like you've drawn does not seem appealing.

[stillarhino]

bwuh?
whats wrong with what we got drawn

[Because it is perfect, thank you.]

[astudyinviolet]

Those dips and railings invite injury.

[stillarhino]

thats a part of this whole thing yo
maybe you gonna keep wiping out and eating grass but you get better when you keep on doing it
and you feel sick as hell when you pull off a trick on a ramp or rail

[astudyinviolet]

I would imagine eating grass would make you feel sick as hell regardless of how skilled you become at eating it.

[ Beat, please have mercy on the Victorian. ]
