let's go to the carnival!

the carnival meme

WHAT TO DO: 1. Post with your character! 2. Pick a scenario and reply to people! 3. Have fun and try not to get sick on the roller coaster! OPTIONS: 1. Games: From classic ring toss to the shooting gallery, here's your chance to win a prize for yourself or for that special someone. Some say the games at a carnival are rigged, but maybe, just maybe, you'll get lucky! 2. Food and Drink: The sweet smell of funnel cake and the familiar briny aroma of popcorn draw you over to the food and drink tent. There's cotton candy, candied nuts, and cheep booze, all here for your enjoyment. 3. Classic Rides: The carousel, the ferris wheel. All carnivals need these classic rides for kids and adults who aren't looking for the excitement of the faster-paced rides. Snuggle close to your partner and see if you can see your house from the top of the wheel. 4. Something More Exciting: This is for thrill-seekers. Here you'll find the Tilt-a-Whirl, the Gravitron, the Screamin' Swing--all the rides designed to make you lose your lunch. Hope you didn't have too much cotton candy! 5. Freakshow: Do they really have a bearded lady in that tent? It's time to find out. Buy a ticket and see the greatest oddities the world has to offer. 6. Tunnel of Love: Or perhaps tunnel of mild boredom. The red-tinted lights and quasi-romantic music are meant to make this ride a great makeout spot, if the chemistry is there. 7. Hall of Mirrors: You and your partner entered, thinking it would be easy to get out again, but dead ends abound in this wacky mirror-maze, and each mirror seems to show a more and more distorted image of each of you. 8. Fortune Teller: Whether one of the creepy machines or the even creepier women dressed up in a culturally insensitive costume, you cross someone's palms with silver and get your future told. Will it be happiness forever with your partner, or will ill tidings be bound your way? (Feel free to use this online tarot spread for extra fun!) 9. Wildcard: Any situation of your choosing happens in a carnival today! Go with the flow.

Can we get funnel cake? [Kronk that's not. Not Yzma.]

[notamusical]

[Vaggie was caught off guard, but she shrugged. It was a carnival and while it was a sin how much they charged for the funnel cakes there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the idea.]

Sure, there's a booth right over there. A plain one with powered sugar sounds pretty good.

Did you want to split it?

[kron_k]

Oh yeah, sure! Didn't know you liked funnel cakes that much, Yzma. [Kronk beams and goes over to the booth. It smells so good. It's gonna be so delicious!]

[notamusical]

What? Who's Yzma.

[Alright she was confused now. What this some kind of lame pick up attempt? She followed slightly behind Kronk, looking around suspiciously. The funnel cakes did smell wonderful. Still, Vaggie was ready to tear whoever this was apart if he did anything strange.]

My name is Vaggie.

[kron_k]

[The only thing Kronk picks up is... uh... heavy furniture. If Yzma needs some moved. He's not the brightest guy.] Woah. You're not her!

I'm sorry... I'm Kronk, do you wanna eat the funnel cake by yourself? [He doesn't wanna bother that kinda Yzma-y lady.]

[notamusical]

Umm, hi.

[He really didn't seem all that bright. Vaggie had to wonder if there was a story there or something, or rather if anything was up there. Resting a hand on her hip she thought about it for a moment before she sighed.]

No, I don't think I could eat that much. We can split it and then maybe I can help you find who you're looking for.

[Between the sugar and everything else, it would be a bit much for her. Though given how tall he was, she was surprised he couldn't spot anyone in a crowd.]

[kron_k]

[Kronk is absolutely massive and that'd usually be terrifying but... he just comes off so simple. He lost his boss and now he's kinda following random people around, like a child would.]

Yzma's gonna be so angry if I don't get back in time. [Though he can't help but smile! Funnel cake's so good...!]

She's got the money, I... uh... I'll pay you back later, okay miss?

[notamusical]

Vaggie.

[Paying for the funnel cake she just figured that it was a loss. He'd probably forget about it by the time he was done eating.]

Can you describe her, it will be easier to spot her if we both look.

[It really was like dealing with a kid, and Vaggie wasn't entirely sure that she would have the patience to do it very long.]

[kron_k]

Yeah, miss Vaggie, I'm gonna pay- [He instantly takes the plate and offers it to her, at least he's well-mannered. Big smile!] You wanna try some?

Oh... uh. She's skinny. Kinda greyish, purplish. Usually kinda... uh. Annoyed looking. Angry. [Tired of Kronk's stupidity! Familiar by now.]

[notamusical]

[Vaggie tore a small piece off, dapping it to get a little more of the powdered sugar. Well, she had to admit that it kind of sound like her at first. This wasn't getting them very far.]

What about her hair color? Is she tall, what was she wearing?

[And with that she put the funnel cake in her mouth. It was actually a lot better than she thought it would be, a lot better than she remembered anyways. Ok, maybe she would have been able to eat one on her own.]

[kron_k]

[Despite originally wanted to eat funnel cake, Kronk's content just waiting to get a tiny piece. He's more occupied trying to think.]

Uhhh. She's shorter than me. I think she's kinda tall though. She wears those black, purple, fake hair things. [Squinting! So much thinking.] She wears... some kinda dress. Long dress.

[He suddenly tears up a bit.] I don't wanna be lost forever, lady!

[notamusical]

[So taller than Vaggie, wearing a wig or headpiece of some kind that should be easier to spot. She picks another piece of the funnel cake off.]

So is she your mom or something?

[When he started to tear up Vaggie couldn't help but sigh, offering a small pat to his back since she wouldn't be able to reach his shoulder.]

You won't be, maybe it would be best to wait until she comes back. That might be best.

[kron_k]

[Kronk rubs at his eyes to stop crying but... uh... his bottom lip just keeps wobbling.] No... Yzma's my boss. I dunno what I got to do, never really been on my own before.

[Yzma's a witch slash scientist and the brains of the operation and Kronk's her dim, muscular and. And much younger henchman.]

You don't mind waiting? I don't wanna be a bother or anything, could figure something out, maybe!

[notamusical]

[Vaggie's eye twitched slightly. All this over losing his boss temporarily, and why would they even be together at a carnival. She ate the second bite she had pulled off, shoving down her annoyance at the quivering lip and idiocracy.]

I don't mind waiting. Besides, it won't be long before she probably comes back to get something to eat. The food is the best thing about these places.

She'd probably just get mad if you had one of the callers just start shouting her name or went to the ticket counter like a lost child.

[kron_k]

[Because Yzma wanted to go and Kronk just does anything she wants, pretty much. He's loyal at least!]

You think she's gonna come back here, lady? [Names aren't his strong point either but he's clearly grateful someone's helping him out.]

Yeah, she won't like that. I got to be the quiet, intimidating type. [You know, with his crying and asking for treats.]

[notamusical]

Vaggie.

[It wasn't like it was a hard name to remember! Hell most people laughed at it when they heard it and instantly remembered.]

But yes, she'll probably come back here since this was the last place that she saw you. When you're lost, if it's not a dangerous place, you should stay put. If not then both of you could be wandering around and keep going in opposite directions.

[She could see why Yzma wouldn't want him to speak.]

So enjoy the funnel cake and we'll wait right here for her.

[kron_k]

[Kronk's much too innocent to laugh at 'Vaggie', wouldn't know where to begin figuring that one out.] Yeah, right, miss Vaggie! I'm Kronk.

[He listens to her words, smiling again. Maybe it's not all so bad, he's even given some of the funnel cake. Instantly eating, the big guy's hungry!]

Thanks, uh- I won't go anywhere. Gonna stay here. Right here. Eating cake. [Checks if Vaggie's still there. Yep.]

[notamusical]

[Vaggie facepalms, slowly pulling her hand down her face. Someone save her from this, it was supposed to be a fun night of rides, rigged games, and deep-fried everything. How does she wind up with the man child watching duty?]

I'm still here Kronk.

[Said with a Yzma tone and expression. It was probably a pretty good impression.]

And I don't think funnel cake is actually cake.

[kron_k]

[The Yzma likeness is so startling that it makes Kronk jump. Gah! Just to come face to face with the much younger... uh. That lady. Forgot her name again but at least he didn't lose her like he lost Yzma.]

It's delicious, I should make some when I get home... uh... miss? [A nervous fidget.] Do I look bad? I didn't have time to fix up for Yzma, dunno what state I'm in. [She won't be happy if he looks a mess!]

[notamusical]

[Yzma's long long lost daughter from hell. Who is seconds away from pulling her hair in frustration. Nope, he wasn't lost. They left him here on purpose. There's no way that someone could be like this and survive on their own.]

You probably should have worn pants instead of a skirt. But you look fine.

[And if it weren't for the grin and half-eaten funnel cake, he could maybe almost pass for intimidating, until he spoke.]

There's some powdered sugar on your shirt too.

[kron_k]

[Yeaah, maybe she did leave him there. But that's not Yzma's style, if she wanted to get rid of a servant she'd kill him. It's more likely Kronk got distracted by all the things going on and wandered off.]

Huh? Oh, the skirt's comfortable. Ya don't like it?

[He quickly brushes the powdered sugar off his massive chest... it's true, the constant smiling doesn't help. The voice definitely doesn't.] You're kinda like a mini Yzma. Maybe you'll be friends! She doesn't really have any friends.

[notamusical]

I don't hate it. But be careful, especially if you go to the funhouse.

[Whoever put the blasts of air that came from the floor should be beaten. Vaggie had to admit that she was a little curious about this Yzma person. But it's not like she was looking for a friend, and doubted they would probably ever meet again.]

Why don't we grab a table while we wait for her?

[kron_k]

Oh... the funhouse? What's gonna happen in there? [That'd be more a concern for the surrounding people in Kronk's case! He just smiles and looks around for a table.]

There's one! Yzma always wants the window seat.

[notamusical]

[So she could jump out of it? She was rather impressed though that he somehow found a window seat at an outdoor picnic table. Even if the window was to the inside of the booth where they were making the food.]

Did you want anything else besides just a funnel cake?
