Line #22 FanFic/RegularDinosaurPark


1	''[[http://marcoasalazarm.deviantart.com/art/CORELINE-REGULAR-DINOSAUR-PARK-Story-One-541646509 "Regular Dinosaur Park"]]'' is one of various stories set on the ''Fanfic/CoreLine'' SharedUniverse, and the introduction of a new location for the setting: Franchise/JurassicPark.
2
3	It has been five years since the Park has re-opened its doors and it is getting plenty of people daily. However, there is a constantly present and pretty clear danger: The dinosaurs that make the people come in are also very capable of destroying everything, and the many threats without and within the Park (which will undoubtedly end up releasing the dinosaurs) make security a risky proposition.
4
5	The solution? Hire [[Anime/TenchiMuyo Washu Hakubi]], the CEO of weapons and technology MegaCorp "Hakubi Customs", and have her procure them with the firepower needed to deal with these dangers when (not ''if'') they appear...

11	* ActorAllusion: A pretty convoluted InUniverse version: at one point Washu asks Claire Dearing to hold a gun and describes Claire afterwards as "a regular [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} Sarah Connor]]" to encourage her. BryceDallasHoward was Katherine Connor (nee Brewster) on ''Film/TerminatorSalvation'', but when Brewster was compared to Sarah Connor (by John Connor himself), [[TheNthDoctor she was played by]] ClaireDanes on ''Film/Terminator3RiseOfTheMachines''.
12	* ADayInTheLimelight: This story is one for Washu (who had appeared previously in various capacities on the stories by [[http://gideon020.deviantart.com/gallery/ Gideon020]]).
13	* AmusementParkOfDoom: The important part of the story is that the Jurassic Park higher-ups are looking for options to be ''less'' dangerous... ironically, it is mentioned at one point early on in the story that the Park's new key market is the "daredevil"-type tourists that wouldn't mind the Park being ''absurdly'' full of danger.
14	* AnimalWrongsGroup: Among a LongList of issues that Washu mentions the Park needs to deal with in terms of security risks, she briefly mentions that [[WesternAnimation/GodzillaTheSeries S.C.A.L.E.]] and similar groups have made the Park a priority target of their cause.
15	* BoringButPractical: One of the weapons the demonstration has is a boring old Ma Deuce. This Trope is name-dropped as the reason why the gun is one of the best {{BFG}} options of the group.
16	* CompositeCharacter: InUniverse, the Park is the newer ''Film/JurassicWorld'' facilities with the "old" ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' name (taken back by majority vote), with the "old" parts of the Park (the former "Restricted Area") reactivated as a type of nursery and "safari" resort. As well, one of the main characters is an Alternate of John Hammond who happened to be a [[VideoGame/LEGOAdaptationGame living LEGO Mini-Figure]] and combines the film and ''VideoGame/JurassicParkTrespasser'' backstories of Hammond.
17	* DescriptionPorn[=/=]GunPorn[=/=]TechnologyPorn: TheCenterpieceSpectacular part of the story is Washu showcasing a "mixed bag" of potential options for the Jurassic Park higher-ups to check out. Every single one of these "potential options" is an absurdly lethal weapon, which she explains with glee.
18	* HeroicBSOD: A dark RunningGag throughout the story is Dearing showing traces of it (it is mentioned that her personal timeline before appearing on The Line is post-''Film/JurassicWorld'' and she even went as far as freaking out when she first met an Alternate of Simon Masrani [[spoiler:after seeing him die on an ''Indominus''-induced chopper crash]]).
19	* IfIWantedYouDead: The reason Washu theorizes that [[spoiler:the mysterious Fog Fleet battleship]] doesn't wishes to do the Park any harm is because [[spoiler:as a Fog Fleet ship, it packs enough firepower (such as one WaveMotionGun ''at least'', plus multiple means to invoke the MacrossMissileMassacre)]], that if it wanted the Park destroyed ''right now'', there would be absolutely ''nothing'' on the Park (at the time) that would be able to survive, let alone ''stop'', the bombardment.
20	* InsistentTerminology: "Assets" for the dinosaurs, just like on ''Film/JurassicWorld''. On the one hand, it is because everybody tries (with various degrees of success) to be professional. On the other hand, it turns "asset containment" into a bit of a DeadlyEuphemism.
21	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Washu thinks on the final scene of the story (right after providing a QuipToBlack-worthy line) that if the story was a TV show episode (she explicitly references ''Series/{{LOST}}'' as the example), ''that'' would be a good time for a QuipToBlack. And right then the story ends.
22	* OhCrap: [[spoiler:The whole group seeing a [[Manga/ArpeggioOfBlueSteel Fog Fleet battleship]] on the coast of of the island, overlooking the Park for reasons unknown, makes even Washu nervous (after all, the damn thing packs enough firepower to theoretically ''wipe out the island all by itself if it felt like it'')]].
23	* OtherMeAnnoysMe: Hammond mentions at one point his disappointment any time someone confuses him for his {{Jerkass}} [[Literature/JurassicPark book]] version (to not mention said version having ''unleashed the Indominus Rex as a biological assault weapon upon the world'').
24	* SequelHook: [[spoiler:What was the Fog Fleet ship doing there, anyway? Why has it been looking over Jurassic Park for a while now? And who the ''hell'' was the guy on its deck, with the "WE ARE WATCHING IT (the Park)" sign? Its Captain, or (probably) worse yet, its Mental Model? The story ends with Washu deciding to find the ship and find out.]]
25	* ShoutOut:
26	** TheCenterpieceSpectacular sequence with Washu showcasing the various guns she brought along is a composite shout-out to various "[[ArmsDealer gun salesman]]" sequences in movies, mostly "Easy Andy" from ''Film/TaxiDriver'' and Justin Hammer showcasing the [[MoreDakka various guns]] that end up attached to the War Machine armor on ''Film/IronMan2''.
27	** Various of the guns showcased by Washu on the "mixed bag" demonstration include ''Videogame/{{Halo}}'' firearms, the Electro-Muscular Disruptor guns from ''Series/{{Primeval}}'' and the newest in [[Franchise/StarTrek Phaser]] rifle designs, plus a couple of newly-made models of weapons which had appeared on previous JP media (and acknowledged as such).
28	** Max Brooks' ''Literature/TheZombieSurvivalGuide'' and Daniel H. Wilson's ''How To Survive A Robot Uprising'' (a book similar to the ''Guide'', only meant for RobotWar scenarios) are somewhat name-dropped as the FollowTheLeader inspiration for "''[[FictionalDocument How To Survive A Dinosaur Attack]]''"-an InUniverse survival guide-slash-dinosaur behavior Edutainment book written by [[Film/JurassicPark Dr. Alan Grant]].
