The park was make in a way, that the attractions were spread around the hill, located on small meadows like plazas connected by several minutes long sneak shaped walk roads and wild path ways, through the forest.
The duo eventually reach one of those plazas stilled like a garden surrounded by a thick wall of all year green fluffy bush like Thuja Trees. There was entrance and exit to a green garden maze attraction protected by tall bricked wall sandwiched between the fence of Thuja trees. (Yes!- A green maze made from cultivated busses of evergreen boxwood and such, next to the actual forest. What a (wonderful?) idea. One can nearly imagine that only possibility when this can work during entire year is when this maze was actually a home for a big colony of fluffy pet like animals who can dig in soil and hide in the busses. Then you can lure them out, by pet food issued at entrance.) But this attraction had already a sing post pined to the road, in front of the turn-cage-entrance, whit message (Brain freeze, don't enter! You get lost!), that someone hand written on it whit thick marker pen.
There was already open a drink--snack stand who was handing off hot drinks to anybody who was passing around. The duo on date saw how the stand staff whistle on certain stray person, who was wandering aimlessly, to come to its shop and take the drink. The clerks even give a good word about what's going on to the confused person.
Actually when even this duo arrived at front of this stand, they saw that those two who operated this shop were wearing a mysteriously looking (coal black coats robes) whit red clouds like some kind of sect. From first glance it doesn't feels like those coats had anything to do whit this theme park but once again it give off a familiar feeling. Those clerks faces got brightly beam up when they spotted the cat-girl woman in her noble robe, as if they saw their lady, or at last a famous celebrity, or passerby local legend. And from they first blabbing [chatter] those two make; it was clear that they are big fans of her. Somehow they made a big effort to prepare a special luxurious drink just for her as if they were worshiping her. This entire time the only think she spoke up was single nearly forced (Thank you.) when she take her drink. That make them extra happy.
But those two clerks take an opposite approach toward the protagonist when, he still under the influence of that female scientist, spoke up in half voice a comment about them being a NPCs. So his date grab him by his collar and while him being still confused, she drag him out of there to continue walking thought the park.
.
As the lilliputian mentioned before those people in black clots were in many places. They were working on repairing this park to make it functional as if someone make adjustment to (how to handle after disasters approach). Sounds of activity and shouts truly starts to lure out people out of theirs hideout to the park. The place still looked half deserted even when strays people were staring at the working people whit awe, like another type of NPCs. And of course they look double confused when they glance at the noble lady on her date as if she was a land lord [lady] on her errand through her estate to actually see whats going on.
.
The duo on date eventually catch the scientist on another plaza, working on local roller-coaster, whit a whole bunch of people in that black coats. From they conversations was clear that they are hipped to get the first ride. Once again they got hipped up even more when they saw the cat-girl in her dress and somehow made the attraction ready from a spot. Clearly there was a push of direct intent that she will take the first (untested?) ride. They even make this parade corridor to the platform, just for her as if she was a VIP or an (Idol?) for they (Sect?).
But as she stare at the roller-coaster, like for half minute… She dint fulfill they expectations to get on the ride. She without a word turn to side and don't walk through the corridor of obedient servants. No!- she walk around the entire platform and approached the ride construction itself and stop in front of it. Instead of anyone distorted expectations, she raise her feet, and using her heel in (kick the bucket) move, she deliver a heavy kick to entire construction.
The shock wave from that single impact, as some kind of shaking resonance, went all round the entire track, making those (That's don't sound safe!) noise, until (amplified?) reach back to the platform. The shaking hits the cars engine and a lot of sparks starts to raise from under the carts, until only smoke was risen up to the sky. The ride was officially out of commission.
Some of the black cloaks went to they knees in defeat. They were feeling down, but the main pain in hart come when the mercenary was already pounded into the ground a wooden sign whit a message: (Closed! Damaged! Do not enter!)
The mad scientist made some silly comment, that there was other attractions that don't need to have a such noticeable defects, and the cat-girl reach for her and grab her by collar. Then dragging her, she return back to the boy and grab his hand so they will don't leave her sight. Ignoring the few other bystanders, she was determinate to move onto next plaza.
.
That was true even for those black robes people who were fired up to receive a praise from her. They even tried to try reactivate a certain peaceful attractions; like the teacups that rotates in circles.
But the Kitty had (accidentally?) rip off one of the (cup carts seats) from its (screwed on) place. It was more like she was on vandalism spree while still looking noble. Or she was emotionally drunk from acting like a noble. But it doesn't seems that those (cultist?) seem to notice when they automatically seem to search for an another way how to please their (idol?). Or (goddess?) at this point. It was curious if the melting snow was releasing those jammer particles to the air. Which will explain why was people acting so dumb. O~or, everyone was just messing around, having fun in theme park, they own way, when they have been left without a supervision.
.
.
Surprisingly, the main event of this park was a Ferris wheel placed on top of the hill. From his closed cabins slowly turning in giant wheel, one can fully enjoy the panorama sight.
And after a distant noise; that was not an explosion, but more like when something heavy hits a ground... They eventually saw the Ferris well finally rolling…
And it was rolling towards them.
During planning this park, someone decided to make a single road going from the corner of the park directly to the top of the hill in a straight line, practically creating an escape route for the lost ones. And when the party reached the cross road whit this one, the UwU woman make a comment that they triggered a rare scripted event. As if it was intended, the Ferris wheel noisy approached them on the perfect ride thorough the street and anyone who stand in a way, had enough of self-preservation senses left in them, to just step aside from its way. As the colossus turns, the cabins attached to the wheel construction crushed and splashed all the remaining snow from the road and take most of it up. Then, mostly like a water, it rained down in all direction like a sprinkler. Maybe the moisture was the reason why the wheel was cable to follow the route as a some kind of canal whit the lowest resistance.
Not just the party butt everyone around, look up directly at the top of the wheel, because they notice that there is one of those NPC in black cloak whit red clouds; who having a semi epic (sword?) fight whit a strange opponent. (For now, not described in details.) It was more like drunk sea pirates style battle from the age of wooden sails ships. But the metallic sounds when theirs weapons clashed give a hit that it must be some kind of sword fight. As the wheel roll, it perfectly copied the road and nearly give off a feeling, that it was the movement of they feats as they run on the construction, that controlled the direction of that giant wheel. They practically steered him to keep fighting.
While staring at that absurdity, the mercenary was tactically silent to not get drag into that shit. The scientist was so excited that some crazy theory or thinking must roaming in her mind. The cat-girl while incredulously starring at it, had her hands folded on her chest. But even the protagonist noticed how nervously she was tipping whit her finger hidden under that additional cat paw glow on her shoulder. So he must ask the party: "Shall we help, or do something?"
Of course it was the scientist who like to make an answers to stuff. "Not until you want a catalog of complains from Shinde, lets him have that particular fight."
.
Then they observe as the Ferris wheel arrived at cross section, redirect it forward momentum to make a perfect 90 degree turn and then start rolling on the other road. Just how durable was those cabins? If someone planned to crass this giant onto the party, then the fact that it went on wrong direction will crush this someone plans.
They make this ((A~a...) I want spoke up a question) noise-sound, but the scientist was dry. "As I said before:... Increased level of general stupidity... But its funny how everyone just step aside and watch it to roll as if it was a role-play attraction. But dint they originally used a wooden pirate ship on lake?"
One dint expect to hear from the main guy a question in half-voice as why (he) is fighting whit that NPC. Then he added if they shall worried about the other NPCs around, if they not decide to join the battle. Because there was no reaction to it somebody can think his comment went unnoticed.
Only when the protagonist make another (from his stance innocent) comment, when he connect the black robes whit red clouds to NPCs, the trio from the party wide open their eyes in shock as if it was (Oh shit, he actually spoke it!). No the scientist got this (mischievous cat-eyes?) of opportunity for mean or rascal type of fun and prank. But she knew, that the imaginary string of nerves, groaned under the onslaught of tension as if it were about to snap at any moment, and produce retaliation.
It was because those cloaked guys and (girls?) somehow overhear those comment. They starts to have a discussion about it connecting pieces information (and misinformation) together. They eventually don't seems to like the idea where they are refereed as no playable characters. So, they scatter in all direction when the party decided to continue walking on the route to the next (attraction?) of this themed park.
.
Several minutes later, they quartet of four managed to get onto next plaza, when they noticed that they are surrounded by those NPCs wearing that coal black coats whit red themed clouds. When party stooped to stand guard, those characters walk out from behind trees and such. They theatrically approached them and formed a ring, while menacingly down staring the quartet in middle. Those NPCs were serious...
Actually, those (evil cult?) looking people dint attack, but some of them bring out music instruments. Then they start playing a surprisingly high quality (boss theme?) in expectation of certain someone arrival on this scene. Then the ring on front of the party opened, to make a wide passage for another member from they side to walk in.
It was exactly the one who was previously fighting on the top of that Ferris wheel. Did he managed to defeat his opponent?- or any other shenanigans take a place? It was not clear. But his slow movements and powerful posture spoke about strong confidence. Plus he radiate this majestic (I am the legendary leader) aura. Additionally he was wearing heavy customized Jingasa. [flat (dinner plate) (sombrero like) armor hat from feudal Japan used by samurais.] Because the black veil attached to it, there was no way to see his face, making his appearance even more mysterious.
The trio from party who knew something had expression that they are dying to make an aloud comments. But somehow they individually decided to stay silent to see how this will end.
.
The protagonist noticed they (stiffness?) as if they were stalling for a time. So he risk it making another comment. "Damn, the baddies actually showed up. So how long we shall wait for (the one)? Did we need to make some light signal on sky or something else?…" ...and he even raise it head up, looking for a clue.
The cat-girl and mercenary exchanged a serious silent stare, while the scientist was sweating a lot whit an expression that was explaining that her prank got out of hand causing a serious problem. Except the radiated menace and mystery, there was no feeling of hostility from those black coats. So… Normally… everyone (except certain someone), can see; that the protagonist mistaken this person for the supposed boss, that they guild wanted to lure out. But no one of the trio wanted to correct the embarrassing miss understanding.
At last, the leader must realize this certain detail, but his voice was so deep slowly and mysteriously sinister; that from protagonist perspective this person must be the main boss. Somehow, maybe because some reflection, only the glimpse of legendary leaders eyes were noticeable behind that black veil. "Oh I see, that what I heard, was true." It was more like a speech from a leader of religious fanatics. "When a friend got lost on the road of life, its is on his friends to save the day and correct the direction on his story. But its always a tragedy when they are not good enough to save someone... It seems that is upmost important to restore someone faith in others…" He look around to observe his companions. "Mina! [friends] To break that illusion, we will grade up the (pain theme from Naruto Shippunden) [popular Anime title], using our top level voice performance of perfection." The he face the party. "Dear friends, do not despair! We will break the ice shell around his hart, whit the burning passion of (our way). The thunder of art will shake the snow from the ignorant tree who refuse to awake from its sleep."
.
We must say that his speech highly motivated his companions lifting they spirits to the sky. Someone of them looks like this is the moment for which they had been living.
But…
Certain trio was frozen in shock and unidentified fear. They know that they are in great pinch. But they don't understand why they have this feeling of emptiness, or why the don't making any move. It clearly was not the case of petrification or any other cases of hypnoses. But the feeling of (something) missing clearly missing. Something like a part of instruction or digital code that shall execute in order to protect them. But the fact, that nobody of them was making any move, skyrocket the feeling of panic and insecurity.
O~or… they were just stubborn, playing a ridiculous (chicken out) game, waiting for the others to pull out first from the incoming shot. Like when the morons decide to play chickens whit a cars to see who will turn to side first to avoid crash. They turn the front against each other, and press down the gas pedal. Then extra macho, will just press the button to lock the steering well and speed and then he climb on the front car hood. So he, at this point; can't do the life saving turn. Then what will happen, if the opponent will do the same?
The trio must inner screaming: (Somebody please!!) And because the fourth one was completely lost, not just like a train on other track, but as a train in different country on different track dimension system that don't fit its chassis;... They were screwed.
At last the protagonist noticed that something is wrong whit them. He too was hit whit alarmed level of panic, as some piece of critical information was missing. But seeing them in this state he scream in panic gesticulating strongly. "Oh common!! Don't say to me, that you all hit the (brain freeze) in the most crucial moment!! And don't dare to suggest, that this happened even to the grand master!! Just where are you, when we need you the most!!?"
Suddenly to this intense situation a certain grand-master show up as if nothing serious has happening. He just walked towards the main group of four, not excited, or as bored as ever; without any explanation how he get there. "Hey folks I am back. I got stalled on the power plant and…" He look at the group in black robes who smoothly lined up in rows giving out this (voice music) choir vibe. They even pull out those professionally made cards whit song notes and lyric. When the leader step in front to face them, holding a conductor's baton as the one who hold the tempo, the supposed grand-master of they guild; legitimately got pale. "Wait, Is that a (Shinde choral?)" Without waiting for an answer he bark at the quartet. "Why it get into this point?!! Why you morons even dared to allow it to get into this point?!! Are you don't remembering what happened last time…" Then he fall into desperation from realizing the (unknown?) fact. Plus it was obvious, that the trio are stunned and the fourth one don't even get it. "Oh... Now I remembering why. Then this one is really on me… Wait, why I just don't just get myself out of this. Oh… Shut…" It was too late... His monologue cost him the chance to escape from what comes next.
The cult in black, start to sing they (epic?) choral.
And after first note reach the protagonist ears… as if it was a projectile hit from gun... the feeling of black-white static that you got when un-plugging signal cable from old TV; was back. No! The only thing one can see and heard was that (signal lost) static.

[Notes]
-Thuja trees are an excellent choice for a living fence. They come in different varieties with varying heights. They also grow quickly and are evergreen. If you need a living fence, which also provides protection from the wind, the thuja tree could be a good choice for you.
-Boxwood is perhaps one of the most traditional shrubs used to create a fence line around homes. The downside to this shrub is it takes time for them to grow. However, once they're established, they're durable. These evergreen shrubs produce thick branches which are hard for anyone to see or climb through.
-Triggering the event- Programming (application or games) can be call scripting. Separate programs, files then scripts. While exploring the game one can reach a place where is certain script waiting for a certain conditions to be activated and produce event. (Like a summon a NPC whit a rare quest.)
-Jingasa is a type of kasa [hat] commonly worn by samurai and ashigaru [foot soldiers]. The samurai class in feudal Japan, as well as their retainers and foot-soldiers, used several types of jingasa made from iron, copper, wood, paper, bamboo, or leather. Jingasa almost always had crests on them.
