[London's not really all that into carnivals, but something reminds her of how familiar they are. A taste of home is always welcome.]

Hey! Did anyone else notice that carnival thing? I guess it looks kinda fun. Who wants to go with me? Going by myself would be pretty lame.

Comments

[therealrisette]

[Rise probably notices this entry a little on the late side, but she recognizes that trendy girl with the mansion she went to the beach with that one time.]

Yeah, I was thinking of going too! It looks kinda like a festival. I haven't been to a lot of those, but they're always more fun with company...

[yay_heiress]

I was never that into carnivals back home, but my friends made me go once. It actually wasn't that bad.
Ooh! Wanna meet up there?

[therealrisette]

Sure!

Ooh, should I wear a yukata? Or... hm, what do people normally wear at carnivals?

[Because they can't be that different from the type of festivals she's used to, right? Not that yukata are usually mandatory in those...]

[yay_heiress]

Um, regular clothes? I guess whatever's comfortable! There's a lot of walking around. And it's outside. [One of the things she hated about carnivals.]

[therealrisette]

Oh! Okay, so it's like going to an amusement park... without all the rides and stuff.

[It sounds more like that than a festival, at least!]

Back home, we have traditions about festivals, so I just wanted to make sure I was doing everything right!

[And maybe she thought she'd get an excuse to wish up a cute new outfit for it. But hey, maybe she'd do that anyway!]

[yay_heiress]

[Wishing up cute outfits is London's favorite pastime in the castle, and she'd already chosen one for the occasion.]

Well, there are some rides. But they're not like the ones in theme parks.

[therealrisette]

Ooh, neat! Maybe we can try those, too?

[She's not getting her hopes up too much, but being cooped up in the castle gets old! It's about time there was something out there worth seeing...]

Oh! Do they have cotton candy too? I haven't had any in forever!

[This is a very important question for any carnival or festival type event anywhere!]

[yay_heiress]

Gosh, I really hope so. Cotton candy is my favorite fair food!

[therealrisette]

I hope they have candied apples and strawberries, too!

[She giggles excitedly to herself, amused at her next thought.]

... My agency back home would kill me if they caught me eating too many sweets. But it's special when it's something like this! I'll just work extra hard to make sure I stay in shape~!

[yay_heiress]

Strawberries?

[As Rise continues, London lights up with recognition.] Tell me about it! If the paparazzi see me eating anything, there's a story about it the next day!

[therealrisette]

Oh, you're a celebrity too?

[She should have guessed by now. It seems so obvious!]

Lemme guess! ... Model? Actress?

[She could see it either way. Or maybe she's royalty or some kind of gimmicky talent, but you can't just ask someone if they're either of those things!]

<sub>[ No the carnival thing did not look fun, but he couldn't deny an attraction to it either.

At the least he did not London going alone into that place. ]</sub>

I would be happy to escort you, London.

Re: dictated;

[yay_heiress]

Really?
How 'bout I meet you there?

[As amazing as it was theoretically, riding a horse bareback wasn't the kindest thing she could have done to her backside.]

Re: dictated;

[peacockherald]

We could walk together. I am still in the castle right now.

Re: dictated;

[yay_heiress]

Ooh! I just finished picking out my outfit! I'll meet you in the lobby in ten!

Re: dictated;

[peacockherald]

All right.

_{[ He sort of smiled at that. Ah, to be young and care-free as she was. He shook his head and headed down to wait for her, dressed in deep purple and light tan with trimming of silver, hair tugged back in a matching ribbon. ]}

Action!

[yay_heiress]

[It's closer to 13 minutes before London reaches the foyer in black fitted trousers and a vibrantly colorful blouse.]

Hi, Vanyel!

Re: Action!

[peacockherald]

Hello, London.

_{[ He smiles when he sees her and gives the young woman a hug in greeting. ]}

Did you want to do something specific at the carnival?

[yay_heiress]

As long as I get some cotton candy, I'm good!

[peacockherald]

You do not need much to be happy, do you?

_{[ It was a compliment, really. He takes her arm in his and leads her down the path towards the carnival with its twirling rides and haunting music. ]}

Have you been to a carnival before?

[yay_heiress]

[The compliment part goes over her head, but she still smiles.] Well, I guess I could bring some extra back to the castle with me!

[Her walk is brisk and jaunty, and she looks up at Vanyel as he speaks.]
Oh, yeah. A few times back home, actually!

[peacockherald]

So they are common where you come from? A bit different too, I would think. We do not have all the rides and such in my world. It is just a fair with a few games for children and couples to play.

[yay_heiress]

The fair where I'm from has rides too. They were kinda icky because of the number of icky people who rode them, but they were still fun! Besides, I got to take a shower when I got home!

[peacockherald]

Icky people? They are not clean?

_{[ He is learning London speech slowly but surely. ]}

[yay_heiress]

Well, I guess some of them were.

[peacockherald]

Well, it is exposed to the elements, I think it might be difficult to keep it pristine.

[yay_heiress]

Not really. All they'd have to do is hire more cleaning people, right?

[peacockherald]

Possibly, but that's more cost for the owners, you see? And maybe they can't find anyone who wants to.

[yay_heiress]

Well, I can see why.

[peacockherald]

Well, try not to think to much on it and just enjoy the experience.

[yay_heiress]

Ok!
