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.

"Right? Or just something extra to help us out. Maybe doing something for them part time."

"Tax credit would be nice, too. Some of us remember the fixing-our-own costumes phase. Do you have someone for that? I feel you X-men in particular would have to."

"I mean, sort of? We had some help, but maintaining our own costumes was part of that 'learning personal responsibility' thing."

As if they didn't learn enough just keeping their powers under control.

"Well that's rough," she says, with a wince.

"As if tangling with, y'know, robots and stuff isn't enough on that particular scale."

"Seriously. On top of everything else. Some people ask me how I manage to get straight A's without going crazy, and I honestly don't know."
batgirl_babs: (babs - amused)

[personal profile] batgirl_babs 2021-04-15 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
She laughed, understanding that one entirely. Quite literally in her case.

"Unless we did, and we were just too busy to notice."

"I mean, I think we'd all have to be a little crazy to survive."
batgirl_babs: (babs - conversation)

[personal profile] batgirl_babs 2021-04-16 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"A lot crazy," she says, "I hang out on rooftops dressed as a bat, after all. A certain decently high base-level gets built in, I think."

[personal profile] goingthroughaphase 2021-04-18 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
"True, true." She snickers. "OH, maybe I could study psychology. I'm sure that's bound to be interesting."
batgirl_babs: (babs - fancy)

[personal profile] batgirl_babs 2021-04-18 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"In your line of work? That's some steady, steady employment, right there."

She pauses, wondering.

"Come to think of it, I know there's, like, medical professionals to help people out in our neck of the woods...but not like, mental health ones. Huh."

[personal profile] goingthroughaphase 2021-04-19 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
Kitty nods. "Yeah, now that you mention it, there isn't really a lot of options for mental health help in what we do. I mean, there's the Professor at the mansion, of course, but there isn't really anyone else if we need therapy or anything."
batgirl_babs: (babs - conversation)

[personal profile] batgirl_babs 2021-04-19 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"You could definitely do well at that," she said, candidly.

"I mean, I trusted you within, like, fifteen minutes of meeting you. And you'd still be able to kick approximately all the butt."
goingthroughaphase: (pic#13971816)

[personal profile] goingthroughaphase 2021-04-20 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah...plus, I like trying to reach out to other Mutants who might need someone to talk to. So having a bit of a psychology background might help with that, right?"
batgirl_babs: (babs - commissioner)

[personal profile] batgirl_babs 2021-04-20 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, absolutely - I mean, that's a key part of what Batman tries to do with rehabilitation, but..."

She smiles.

"I think you'll have a lot more luck, especially if you catch things early."
goingthroughaphase: (pic#13971656)

[personal profile] goingthroughaphase 2021-04-21 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
After another moment, she smiles and nods. "Yeah...maybe. I'll think about it. It's also a big responsibility too, so I'd really need to make sure I'm making the right choice if I decide to do it."
batgirl_babs: (babs - fancy)

[personal profile] batgirl_babs 2021-04-21 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"And so long as it's something you'd actually want to do. I have a hard time imagining you miserable, but I'm sure it's, like, theoretically possible."

"So we want to avoid that."
goingthroughaphase: (pic#13971960)

[personal profile] goingthroughaphase 2021-04-22 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. I've got some time to think about it, so we'll definitely see." She smiles. "But thanks. I've got a lot to think about."
batgirl_babs: (Default)

[personal profile] batgirl_babs 2021-04-22 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
She smiles, and nods. "Glad to be of some help, I suppose. Should I ask for the check, or are you saving room for dessert?"
goingthroughaphase: (pic#13971959)

[personal profile] goingthroughaphase 2021-04-25 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Considering that for a moment, she shakes her head a little. "Nah, I think I'm good."
batgirl_babs: (babs - investigating)

[personal profile] batgirl_babs 2021-04-26 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
"That'll be the check then," she said, waving at a waitress.

"So did the burger live up to the hype?"
goingthroughaphase: (pic#13971827)

[personal profile] goingthroughaphase 2021-04-26 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh definitely! I might have to move here just for that," she teases, finishing off her drink as well.
batgirl_babs: (babs - conversation)

[personal profile] batgirl_babs 2021-04-27 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
She laughed as the waitress dropped the check into their table.

"Well, you wouldn't be the first to do that," she replied.
goingthroughaphase: (pic#13971949)

[personal profile] goingthroughaphase 2021-04-27 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, then I feel less guilty about it." She giggled again, watching as the check was placed down.

"You sure you don't want me to help?"
batgirl_babs: (babs - conversation)

[personal profile] batgirl_babs 2021-04-28 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
She nodded, decisively.

"My treat, absolutely. Such an experience should be total, right?"
goingthroughaphase: (pic#13971957)

[personal profile] goingthroughaphase 2021-04-28 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
"I guess so," she replies, still feeling just a bit bad. "But just know, when you visit Bayville, I'm totally spoiling you."

Even if she has to borrow a bit of money from Jean or something.
