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.

Lydia smiled before pulling her phone out of her pocket and then sending a text. "Just need to tell my alarm system it's me." If Barbara looked carefully round the room she'd spot a couple of well hidden Raspberry Pi circuit boards and a couple of motion sensors. "Thank you and I should get changed..." Lydia sat down on her bed and her head fell before she slowly toppled sideways, already sound asleep without even having taken her heels off.

She sighed, hands on her hips. Well, that'll do. She reached over for the nearest blanket, draping it over her and shutting off the closest light. Then, with her usual silence, she hopped back out onto the balcony, shutting the window carefully behind her.

And left a little note card, for when Lydia woke up, pinned in place by the closed window:

You did great. A+ Heroing. :)

Just over twelve hours later Lydia would text Barbara.

Thanks. And let's try not to have more nights like last night.
