The Carnival! (DAY ONE)

[friedeverything]

[Around 11:00am, the rides and vendors and stands suddenly appear, bustling with sounds and movements as the carnival spins to life. Throughout the day, all kinds of foods, rides, and games are available, but around the carnival signs are posted about a raffle that evening, with the items listed. Wait, did that belong to you? Well now it's up for raffle! Come buy tickets from any of the ghosts with said tickets slung across their shoulders like a sash.]

(ooc: There will be one section for the actual raffle - an ooc post will be up in a couple moments to claim the items- but other than that, go wild!)

In the market area, [here have a street name it's on!].

[persequor]

[ She smiles. ]

Thank you! If it works, Nymeria will be grateful too.

[save_the_souls]

It's no trouble! I'd hate to see Nymeria unhappy.

[persequor]

[ Nobody wants to see an unhappy direwolf. Especially considering Nymeria is still a puppy. ]

What's that?

[ Moving down the list of priorities, she points to the yellow winged ball with him. Are those teeth? ]

1/2

[save_the_souls]

He glances over his shoulder to where Timcanpy...well is stealing food]

Timcanpy!

[save_the_souls]

[he sighs]

That's Timcanpy, he's my golem.

[persequor]

[ Arya giggles. Whistling at Tim, she holds out the rest of her corndog. ]

Want a bite?

[save_the_souls]

[he perks up at being offered food and flutters over!]

Careful, he might try to eat it all- stick and all.

[persequor]

He eats sticks?

[save_the_souls]

He'll eat anything. His teeth are tough enough to chew stone.

But don't worry, he won't bite a lady.

[persequor]

I'm not a lady.

[ She's still holding out the stick for Tim. Nymeria perks up, yellow eyes fixed on the golem. ]

[save_the_souls]

You are to him.

[And he'll make a happy flutter of his wings before moving to nom that Corndog! As in biting down on any part that isn't being held by her hand]

[persequor]

[ She frowns at Tim. ]

Not a lady, hear?

[save_the_souls]

[he swallows the food and tilts his head/whole body at her curiously. THEN WHAT ARE YOU?]

[persequor]

Can I pet him?

[save_the_souls]

Mm!

Hold out your hand so he can perch. That's the easiest way.

[persequor]

[ She does so. Nymeria trots around to sniff at her hand. Arya raises it. ]

No, Nymeria. Stay. Stay.

[save_the_souls]

[Tim knows that gesture! He'll flutter and land on her hand gracefully- ruffling his feathers proudly to show off to the new lady]

[persequor]

[ Arya smiles and pets him, marveling at the wings. She makes the mistake of ignoring her jealous direwolf. Nymeria rears up on her hind paws to get Timcanpy away from Arya. Unfortunately for the girl, Nymeria placed her front paws on her shoulders. Unprepared for the added weight, Arya falls with Nymeria on top. All the air is knocked out of her when her back hits the ground. ]

[save_the_souls]

[-uh oh]

Nymeria! Get off her!

[Walking over quick to grab that wolf if he needs to. HE DOES NOT FEAR YOU B( ]

[persequor]

[ At the approach, Nymeria snarls. Arya, meanwhile, shoves Nymeria away by the snout. ]

Stupid wolf! Get off! You're heavy!

[ Nymeria obliges and wags her tail at Arya. Arya glares. ]

Leave him alone! Seven hells, learn your own strength already!

[ The tail wagging intensifies. ]

[save_the_souls]

[Tim meanwhile seems just a bit dazzed at the fall but mostly okay]

Are you all right, Arya?

[persequor]

Yes. I'm used to it. I don't think she understands yet how much bigger she is than me.

[ She pets Tim gently. ] I'm sorry.

[save_the_souls]

Ah...I see. [still gives Nymeria a look. NO CRUSHING LITTLE GIRLS]

[Tim meanwhile flaps his wings in a shrug and moves into the petting. it takes more than that to hurt him]

[persequor]

[ Like Nymeria gives a fuck. As Arya stands, she cradles Tim to her chest. ]

Are they common where you're from?
