For the briefest of moments, Maxwell could entertain the fancy that everything would be fine. That final image... just reaching out to touch the Faceless, refusing to admit to the scene behind him, the impact, the screaming...

...then the smell of grease, the sound of a warped and dischordant organ, the sight... of a theme park? One that had seen better days, admittedly. Still, it was a curious choice of location, but not a bad one - certainly a stark contrast to the Labyrinth field, and that was likely the Observer's idea.
"Welcome all, to Destructo World, where all your fantasies come true! Whether those are the fun fantasies, or the ones that you worry about every time you had a sharp dive remains to be seen. Best of all, just for today, everything is free! Have fun, kiddies!"
Chiding himself for leaping to a starkly innaccurate conclusion, Maxwell considered the announcement. Was there anything worth dissecting there? Yes, there was... two... no, three things leapt out at him. All of them were right near the end of the announcement, but no lesser quibbles because of it.
So... where's Vyrm'n? Good question - a brief search showed Maxwell that he was alone; the entrance he'd turned up at opened on to a relatively open stretch, with a few midway stalls that suffered severe scrutiny from a safe distance, a rather ramshackle construct, the signage of which hailed it as a "FUN HOUSF" in a cringable cliche and...
...ah, excellent. Toilets. Maxwell was only human, after all.
