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.

She smiled as their boat went out of sight.

"Well, at least it's not all awful things for us to want to yell at," she said. She reached into her utility belt and leaned up to the nearest wall - and with the piece of chalk she'd grabbed, she made a quick t-chart.



Awful | Cute
=============



With, for the moment, two under awful, one under cute.

Marie smiles a bit at the chart made. A little game for them.

“Here’s hoping there’s more cute coming up...”

"Do we have to bet, now?" She replied, tossing the chalk, idly.

"I think this means we have to bet, and I have to be the jerk who bets against cute, because someone got there first."

Marie grinned at that.

"Sorry, winner goes the spoils!" Marie replied. "Or something like that. I'm sure I got it wrong."

Her eyes narrow, theatrically.

"Fine, winner buys food later. I am thinking a truly indulgent burger and fries. Oh, and it's 'to the winner goes the spoils,' but you were pretty close!"

Marie chuckles then shrugs. “Oh, well. I accept the challenge!” She said.

At that, the next couple came around, the two in the boat looking like they had the worst fight ever.

“Whoof, tension you can cut with a knife.”
batgirl_babs: (batgirl - humor)

"Oops, let's see what we've got here." She put on a sport announcer voice, miming a microphone.

"Geez, Bob, these two look like they're in Round Nine of a ten round fight. Whaddaya think is goin' on down there, Bob?"

Naturally 'pushing' the microphone towards Marie.

“Well, Mike, this is definitely a huge misunderstanding fight!” Marie said, mimicking Batgirl’s act.

“Seems like the guy caught the eye of someone else and the lady did not like it at all!”

"Oooh, that's a pretty dangerous one! We'll see how this one works out."

She mimicked a camera zooming in to catch the action.

Marie watched in intense curiosity as the two look back at each other... and the girl slaps the guy upside the head.

"Oooh, and I think he's down!" Marie replied.

She winced, nodded, and then because she was pretty certain there was no coming back from that, leaned over and put a hashmark on their competition board.

"Down and out," she replied, dropping the voice. "Somebody looked the wrong way at one of her friends."
