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!)

[draca]

That certainly sounds more appetizing. [ Hell, she'd even eat another horse's heart than this stuff. ]

[persequor]

[ She eyes the pile of food. ]

There's not much else to do then.

[draca]

I thought I saw some games over there. [ She points off to the left. ] I am not sure I understand them, but it looks as if people compete for prizes.

[persequor]

All the toys are childish.

[draca]

[ A short laugh. ] They certainly are, but perhaps there are gems in a sea full of dull stones.

[persequor]

[ She highly doubts it. Her expression shows it. But she shrugs, willing to accompany Dany wherever she decides to go. ]

[draca]

Will you accompany me, then? [ At the very least they can laugh at how stupid the games are. B) ]

[persequor]

Yes.

[draca]

[ A smile brightens up her face and she straightens. ]

Wonderful.

[persequor]

[ Getting up, Arya dusts herself off. ]

Come, Nymeria. Leave that.

[draca]

[ A quick dust off and she heads off in the direction of the games, with Arya and the direwolf as company.

The first stall they approach has bottles stacked up on each other and the man speaks of a prize of your choosing if you knock them all over. ]

[persequor]

[ Arya smiles slightly. ]

Have you a good eye?

[draca]

Mayhaps. [ She tilts her head. ] Do you?

[persequor]

Better than my brothers. [ Her tone is a little smug. ]

[draca]

[ Her mouth twitches into a grin. ] Than I must insist you try your hand at this game, I would like to see this eye in action.

[persequor]

Fine.

[ She steps up to get a try—and is stopped by lack of money. ]

Oh, please?

[draca]

[ Dany is quick to dig into the small pouch she has tied to her waist, holding out a couple of coins for Arya. ]

Here.

[persequor]

Thank you.

[ Arya counts out the right amount to the man and takes the ball he gives her. It's very light; she frowns. She tosses it lightly from hand to hand. Taking aim, she throws it at the bottles. She manages to knock down most of them. The last wobbles lazily before straightening. If looks could kill, it would have exploded from Arya's glare. ]

[draca]

[ Dany is sure it would have if looks could killed, alas it does not. But she is quite impressed with Arya's throw, even if she did knock over all of them. ]

Perchance you could try again?

[persequor]

[ Way ahead of you. ]

Another!

[ Arya snaps into the tone of a lord, unwilling to brook argument. She pushes a few more coins across and waits expectantly for another ball. ]

[draca]

[ She holds back a laugh, caused mostly by the fact of the man who mans the stall, watching as he hands her another ball. ]

[persequor]

[ This time, she corrects for her previous miscalculation. All of the bottles fall and Arya grins all too widely. Suck on that, bottles. ]

[draca]

[ Dany claps overly pleased that she managed to knock all the bottles in one hit, the man also applauds her before turning to his wall of prizes. She gets to pick something off the wall. There are a lot of things on there, mostly plush toys of every shape and form. Dogs, wolves, dragons, horses, cats, lions, and so forth. ]

[persequor]

[ Arya points to the dragon. ]

That one.

[ When it's handed to her, she turns around and gives it to Dany. ] For you.

[draca]

[ Dany blinks, eyes widen with surprise. She takes it, the corners of her mouth forming into a smile. ]

For me? You have my thanks.
