Entry tags:

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.

Loki hadn't had fun like this in a long time as he was now on his second go on the Hammer ride. He had found it very easy since the so called "heavy" hammer wasn't heavy at all since he was Asgardian. No doubt the mortals at the fairground would find it hard being much less able than the god. With a smug smile, Loki lifted the hammer once again and smashed it onto the pad below, hitting the stone to smash up into the bell. He had won. Again.

"Looks like that teddy bear is mine."

He watched the ride owner roll his eyes and marvel at how strong the rather prissy looking man was. Looks can be deceiving it seemed. Handing the large panda toy to the god, he walked away hoping for more customers.

"Aren't you a big boy? I know who's going to love you."

Loki walked away from the hammer ride and went to look for Clare, mingling through the crowds of people having fun on various rides. Perhaps he should have a go at knife throwing next. There was no doubt he couldn't win. He met up with her near the Hook a Duck ride and showed her the big teddy he had won.

The last time she'd been to a carnival was the night of her big leap. So she was a little anxious at first, but being there with Loki put her at ease relatively quickly.

Claire was having a ball, playing games and going on rides. She didn't know what he'd gone off to do, and so she was quite surprised when he met up with her again holding a giant teddy bear. The thing had to be nearly as big as she was!

"Oh my gosh!" she squeaked in surprise, reaching out to touch the plush, soft fur. "Did you win this? How?!"

Those big prizes were always so difficult, and usually took a lot of cash. The carnies wouldn't do any business, otherwise. She'd won a couple small things, including a small stuffed monkey with Velcro paws that she currently had wrapped around her wrist.

Claire laughed, marveling at the gigantic teddy bear. "I hope that thing fits in my backseat," she said, laughing.
