He frowns at you, and you can tell he's thinking about something. "An event... what was it... I... I don't remember. I've just been up here in the ferris wheel..."
An expression of shock crosses his face. "Ever since I died..."
He seems to practically go limp in the seat, shock evident on his face. "My god... I remember it now. The Spirits, the death... they killed us all..." He looks at you. "You're not security at all, are you? You're an Exorcist. Like Marie..."
He tries to stand, but seems to be incapable of leaving the seat he's in. "I... I need to get out here, I need to help! I need to..."
Suddenly, a hand sets on both yours and the old man's shoulders. You look up, and into the eyes of Famine. She nods to you, then turns to him.
"Sir... I'm sorry, but there's nothing more you can do here. My friend is going to help out here. We'll fix this, I promise."
Suddenly, neither of you are sitting in the ferris wheel. You're standing in what you recognize as the Palace of the Horsemen. Apparently you're in a waiting room, judging by the individuals sitting in chairs and reading assorted magazines.
Famine takes him by the hand and begins leading him away. "Right this way, sir, we've got a good place lined up for you."
You watch them go... well, okay, fine, you're staring at Famine's ass. But same difference, right? She turns back and winks at you, and suddenly you're standing at the foot of the Ferris Wheel again. The bodies surrounding it are gone, and the wheel spins gently. You feel safe here.
Major Spirit Assisted
There's only one place left for you to go, now. The rides. You're... not looking forward to this, you think, as you make the trek to the rides. You can hear the rides running in the distance, and the sound just increases as you get closer.
When you get near, Famine chimes in. "Hey, Carson... great job with the park owner. You're... pretty sensitive, actually. It's kinda nice..." She clears her throat, and you can practically sense her trying to clear her head. "Uh, listen, this guy, according to Marie his name was Percy. He was a ride operator before he died, and from what I can understand, he's become a Spirit with the Memory of Momentum. I'm not sure how you can use that, but I'm sure you'll come up with something! Stay safe, please."
As you approach the ride area, you're nearly run down by what seems to be a small train, probably meant for riding small children around. As you watch, it finally skids off the track and crashes headlong into a ticket booth.
The spirit hasn't arrived yet, so you take a moment to take stock of your surroundings. There doesn't look like there's an awful lot you can use. A few benches are bolted to the ground, but with your enhanced strength that poses no problem. A railroad sign sits near the track of the recently-derailed train, which could probably make a good bludgeon.
Every ride seems to be running at once, and at speeds far outweighing their normal safety procedures. You step forward, and hear something akin to metal clunking against the ground.
You see the Spirit before it sees you, a 12 foot tall abomination of twisted metal, clutching a flail seemingly crafted from a swing and a hunk of metal.
NEW ENTITY
MINOTAUR
"A body in motion stays in motion..."
It notices you, and stares down at you for a moment, almost ponderously, before its yellow light eyes turn a bright red and it bellows in rage, charging forward at you!
