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.

"I'm just saying, most people wouldn't come to a carnival just for one thing and then leave again. Someone else may have seen her." Which is a question they can ask later.

"When's the last time you let something catch your eye?" He's genuinely curious. She might not think he takes anything seriously, but she seems to take everything seriously all the time.

"Yes, that's true but we still have to stay focused. This is a confirmed lead. You follow that first before you start canvassing." Something she'll probably wind up doing alone once he's distracted.

"What do you mean catch my eye? I don't get distracted, Lucifer. Especially not when I'm working."

Except.
"The purple vest."

She's expecting a lot from him if she expects him to be able to focus. It's something he's never been capable of, no matter what he was supposed to focus on. Even when he tries, it doesn't usually work. "Let's meet this fortune teller then." He can listen sometimes.

That hadn't been quite what he meant, but he files it away for later. "Really? I didn't know you noticed things like that."

Lucifer is never focused and Chloe is hyper-focused and somehow they still manage to solve cases. It's weird and frustrating and maddening but it somehow works.

A huff because she hadn't meant to tell him that, but when she's around Lucifer she finds herself blurting out stupid things like that. It was an answer that had to do with him so she thought it would be enough. "Yes. Yes, I noticed. You were wearing it with that grey suit."

It works because they both bring different things to the partnership, and...mostly it works because for some reason she continues to put up with him.

"That is a particularly nice combination." Maybe she'll see it again soon, now that he knows she likes it.
