Kappa Kappa Gremlin, The Park - Monday After Classes

Today, the members of the fraternity had been told to meet in the park, where they'd see a lineup of brightly-colored go-karts just waiting to be claimed by a dozen crazy frat-boys who might just be in need of some serious stupidity after a weekend of dealing with parents and assorted others.

Or, at least, that was the logic of the two leaders of the frat, who had also been fortunate enough to survive the weekend.

"Hey, guys," Warren said, smiling (a bit twitchily, all weekend-surviving aside) at the group, a helmet tucked under one arm. "Today, we figured we could use a bit of action and reckless abandon, so we arranged for some go-kart racing. We've roped off a portion of the park so that you don't have to worry about driving into any unsuspecting pedestrians, and there are helmets, because we're all teenage guys and we know you're going to drive like idiots and probably try to take these things downhill or something, right?"

Look, it's what Warren would do. He wasn't going to judge.

“And we’re not allowed to tweak the cars,” Tony added sulkily. He could have made them so much better if given just five minutes at the engines. “When you’re not racing, let us know if you have any ideas for future meetings that don’t involve more pizza.”

That was always a given.

“So, have fun.”

Tyrion was very, very curious as to whether he could take a ride in a go cart. He didn't know what one was, but any man could see they went fast. That was what he wanted.

"You know," Warren said, smiling a little as he made a reach for one of the helmets, "there's no reason why you have to sit on the sidelines and just watch and eat pizza every week."

Warren was observant sometimes! The curiosity didn't go completely unnoticed, no.

"I wasn't sure what the custom was," Tyrion told him, still wistfully watching the go-karts. "What are those?"

He hadn't been off the island yet; any reference he'd heard to cars had been in passing, so he had no frame of reference at all.

"They're called go-karts," Warren explained, passing the helmet back and forth from hand to hand. "They're smaller, recreational versions of cars, which are the main method of transportation on the mainland in this reality. They're also supposed to be pretty fun to drive around in, even if they do look sort of ridiculous."

If they were too worried about ridiculousness in the fraternity, they'd be the sorority instead, Warren figured.
