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.

Yeah, it's kinda... uh. A secret for her, but Yzma and I, we love to go on rollercoasters. Yzma loves 'em, it doesn't show on her face but she likes to go fast. [It was like a fun outing inbetween doing evil deeds... but then Kronk had to get lost. Yzma is probably having coffee on the opposite side of the fair.

Despite being so different, a love of going fast is the one thing the odd pair have in common.]

Is Charlie your boss, is she a nice lady?

[notamusical]

I guess that makes sense.

[It's not like there were a ton of places that had them, but Vaggie wasn't entirely sure she would trust a roller coaster that was assembled and disassembled in a few hours hundreds of times a year. Especially not when put together by people not being paid very much.

She had just started on her ice cream, taking the first lick when he asked about Charlie.]

She's my girlfriend, and I guess kind of my boss. But yes, Charlie is about the nicest person that anyone could expect to meet.

[kron_k]

[Kronk is so happy for her!] Your girlfriend?

I dunno about all that stuff, sorta complicated. I've never had a girlfriend! You sure are lucky.

Yzma prolly wouldn't like... uh. If I talked to a girl. [They're not in a relationship but he's kind of like her poolboy. He's very innocent, though. Probably not even aware of that.]

[notamusical]

It is, people always what to throw in their two cents about it and talk about how it's wrong. But I don't really care about that since it's her.

[She seemed a little surprised about the fact he'd never had a girlfriend, but then at the same time he had proven to be pretty inept at picking up on things. Someone had probably tried at some point and it just went over his head.]

It shouldn't matter what she likes, you can't just work all the time and never have a life. Maybe you should find someone else to work for?

[kron_k]

[Definitely missed at least several girls trying to flirt with him... then Yzma just kinda snagged him up!]

Huh... why'd it be wrong? [Kronk is much too naive to understand that girl and girl is bad to some people or anything. He's just happy this lady found someone nice. Eating more ice cream.]

No can do! Yzma hired me until I get replaced with... uh. A younger guy. That's better looking. [He knows his place.]

[notamusical]

Because there's a book that a lot of people believe in makes some vague statement, so they think it's a sin.

[Vaggie huffed a little at the thought, taking an aggressive bite of her icecream. She definitely raised an eyebrow at his statement, sounded like something a guy would do with a female assistant.]

Well hopefully you at least enjoy your job.

[kron_k]

I think it's nice that ya found someone! [But Kronk has a very naive view of the world, even for an Incan from a small village. He keeps eating his own ice cream, oblivious that his working situation is kinda... iffy.]

Oh yeah! Just wish she didn't yell so much.

[notamusical]

Have you told her that?

[Vaggie wasn't going to tell him what he should do, but that was kind of a shitty situation to be in.]

[kron_k]

No... I'm kinda scared it'll make her scream more.

[notamusical]

Good point.

[It was actually a pretty smart move. Well at least for now he had funnel cake and ice cream.]

So what does she have you do?
