The Carnival Meme

Who doesn't love a good carnival? The sights, the sounds, the...well, maybe not so much the smells. Going with your young siblings? Maybe you're taking your date for a good time! Maybe a friend dragged you along. Whoever you're there with, the important part is that you're having a good time!

4. Fun times ensue!

1. The Midway!
Oh god, you want that stuffed unicorn so hard, it's just so incredible. Or perhaps you just want to show off to everyone else how AWESOME you are. Test of Strength? More like...Test of....Getting Owned With a Hammer. Whatever the reason, you're slapping down your cash and winning those games! ...If it's possible to win, that is.

2. Haunted House
PFFT! Who's scared?! These things are never that scary! ...Are they? That...That's not a real mummy, right? What was that sound?! ZOINKS!

3. Ferris Wheel
Did you ever wonder what the carnival looks like from such a high place? Or maybe you just want some alone time with your date. Do you find yourself thinking that this is a lot higher than it looked?

4. Fun House
What's so fun about it?! It's impossible to get through this stupid Hall of Mirrors! Agh, this tube is spinning, how can anyone stand up in this thing?! Wait, isn't that the same way you came from?!

5. Tunnel of Love
You're lookin' for a little bit of alone time, even if you are in a tiny, bird-shaped boat surrounded by shallow, not-as-clean-as-it-could-be water. Or maybe your friends shoved you in before you had time to react. Have fun, love birds!

6. Carnival food!
Cotton Candy, corndogs, popcorn, ice cream, candy apples...! It's all so terrible and bad for you, but it tastes so good! You don't even know what that over there is, but it's deep fried and looks delicious in the most disgusting way. Be careful that you don't make yourself sick!

7. Petting Zoo
CUTE ANIMALS! You want to pet all of them! Or maybe the person you're with wants to. Though, whether the animals really want to be petted or not is another matter.

8. GRAVITRON!
Standing inside a giant ring that’s spinning at high speeds with no restraints. Yes. This is a good idea. Somehow. Hope you didn’t eat first.

9. Working
You’re not having fun because you’re WORKING here. Somehow, you got roped into this. Maybe you LOVE working here! Or maybe you’ve had enough of being in the dunking booth or wearing that doofy animal costume. Maybe your friends won’t laugh too hard at you.

10. Other
You have other ideas? Play out those Carnival shenanigans!

[pfft this self proclaimed king of the midway is gonna win him a plush ewok and he's gonna like it]

[Kylo is currently noshing on a a chicken sandwich made out of a doughnut with some kind of deep-fried amphibian legs sticking out of it. It. Is. Glorious. And only the latest in the long line of items he's sampled. Anything deep-fried, covered in chocolate, or otherwise guaranteed to give a person a heart attack, he's determined to try.

He's giving Poe serious side-eye as he watches him try to knock over stuffed clowns. It'll take getting three to stay down to win a prize.]

You are aware these games are rigged, right?

[The problem with Poe Dameron, or maybe the good thing about him, is that he believes he's good at everything. It makes him stubborn and unwilling to accept defeat at anything, even carnival games. Especially carnival games. What fuels him more than his need to be the best is his pride. He's got to show off or face humiliation. It's not an option.]

You're aware that what you're eating could kill a toddler, right?

[With four balls placed in front of him (four, because apparently it gives people hope), Poe eyes the arrangement of clowns. He squints at them, one eye closed, more for show than anything else. When he picks one he aims and throws. The clown goes down.]

Hah.

[Kylo looks down at the sandwich in all its greasy glory and shrugs, taking another bite. He never claimed to be particularly sophisticated when it came to his tastes in food.]

That's the point.

[He watches, rather unimpressed, as Poe throws the second ball, which bounces off the bar holding the rows up instead of hitting a clown.]

You, on the other hand, are just wasting money.

Your gross chewing is throwing me off.

[He gives Kylo his own side eye, then looks at the clowns as he bites his lip thoughtfully. If he misses now, he's screwed, and will have to drop even more money on this. The ball is pitched and hits its target, and the clown almost doesn't fall over but it teeters enough that it goes down.]

Go stand over there so you're not breathing near me. It's distracting.

I hope you miss, flyboy.

[Kylo gives an affronted look as he stalks over to where Poe is banishing him to. His chewing is not gross! He looks sulky as he waits for Poe to waste even more time and money, but oh, look. There's deep-fried pickle chips at the stand next to him. Kylo gets in line and keeps an eye on the pilot, waiting to see if he'll actually succeed or fail miserably.]

I hope you drown in a vat of oil.

[He watches Kylo skulk away and snorts as he lines up for more food. Where does he even put it all?

But there are clowns to attend to. He knows he's being watched - Poe can practically feel Kylo's beady eyes from here - but it's easier to get in the zone. Knocking over clowns is a serious business. When he throws the last ball, there's nothing glorious about it. It hits a clown square on and it knocks over. To Poe, it's amazing. He nearly fist bumps the air but he's being handed a fuzzy plush thing. A fuzzy plush thing that he waves in Kylo's direction.]

[So he won. Whoopee. Kylo's sour face doesn't improve one bit when he sees that Poe has won something large enough to smother him in his sleep, very fuzzy, and garishly pink. He's finished the sandwich and is starting in on the pickle chips as he comes back over. He's a bottomless pit, truly.]

Congratulations. I hope you enjoy carrying around that monstrosity for the rest of the night.

[Some people are the worst. Especially when they smell like pickles. Poe snorts, holding the prize like it's priceless.]

The only thing more enjoyable will be knowing it's going to have a good home with you after.

[Poe Dameron is the most annoying waste of oxygen on the entire planet. Kylo is convinced of this. He eyes the stuffed animal with a flat expression.]

If you give it to me, it is getting used for lightsaber practice.

[Surely Poe wouldn't subject an innocent stuffed critter to the cruelties of being dismembered, would he?]

You are the worst carnival date in the galaxy. First of all, no one wins things for themselves. Secondly, the people they win prizes for always like it. Pretend all you want, I see through you.

I never claimed to be the easiest person to get along with. [Quite the opposite, in fact. It was only a testament to either Poe's patience or his brain damage that Kylo hasn't run him off by now.] So deal with it. [As a consolation, he does offer Poe some of the pickle chips.]

[No, get those things out of his face. If it's not deep fried sweets, it's not worth it. Also - who wants to smell like fried pickles? Not Poe. It's bad enough he has to smell them coming from Kylo.]

You're gonna take it home and you're gonna like it. And you'll think of me every time you look at it. Lucky you.

[Hmph. Rude, Poe. That's just rude. And here Kylo is doing good approximation of being nice. Oh well, more food for him.]

I'll definitely be thinking of you when I shred it into fluff.

You say 'shred into fluff' but I know you mean 'cuddle mercilessly.' Your secret's safe with me.
