October is Fair time

[sockfromuncle]

LET'S GO TO THE FAIR MEME It's time to go to the fair! Food, rides, games, historical reenactments, the choices are endless! Go with your friends, your family, or if you're feeling romantic, go with a date! Don't run out of tickets.

LOCATIONS 1. COUNTY/STATE FAIR From the hokey to the bright and brilliant, you've been waiting for this all year! Are those rides up to code? Can you find the perfect fair food? Damn, those churros look good. 2. REN/PIRATE FAIRE Is something a little older your style? Try out a Renaissance or a pirate faire! You can dress up like the times or just be a civilian passing through. Mead, turkey legs, butt grabbing... 3. AMUSEMENT PARK Screw fairs, you want to go to Disneyland! Or Legoland, or Universal Studios... Whatever, you just want to go to the REAL THING. Elitest. You're not better than us. 4. HAUNTED CARNIVAL You thought this was a normal fair, but something seems... off. Are the ghosts fake or are they real? Does that guy have fangs? What the hell is this, Scooby Doo? 5. MUSIC FESTIVAL Who needs fairs when you can go to a venue and pay $40 for a t-shirt and watch thirty bands in one day and get heat exhaustion while drinking cheap beer? That's what we thought. 6. HOLIDAY FAIR It's Halloween! Or Christmas! You want to see pumpkin carving! Or Santa Claus! Whatever, man. You just like holidays. SCENARIOS 1. RIDES The Tilt-a-Whirl costs how many tickets? This had better be worth it. 2. FOOD Holy shit, you have to try this chocolate covered, deep-fried ice cream! We'll stand by with some paddles. 3. EXHIBITS You want to look at photography? Art? Some kid's ode to his dog made of popsicle sticks? Let's go for it. 4. ANIMALS Are those tiny pigs wearing JACKETS and running a RACE? We have to go right now. Alternatively, pay to see the world's biggest live alligator. Her name is Susy. 5. GAMES You really want to win that giant unicorn but for some reason, the pins won't fall over even when you hit them dead-center. Is this rigged? 6. ROMANCE Whether it's the tunnel of love, jousting for someone's hand, or just sitting around sharing a dessert, we've got you covered on the date front. 7. MASCOTS Maybe you want to meet Mickey. Or Santa. Or, I don't know, whatever the hell that dude over there in a suit is. Careful though, a lot of times little kids can be real scared. 8. CONTESTS Baking contest? Are there funny notes in the grading cards for some of them? Maybe you want to look at how some nerd set a table. Check them out, try to steal one of the blue ribbons, whatever. 9. SHOPPING Everything here is SO COOL. Did you see that light up headband? That shirt with an emoji on it? Seriously, what will they think of next? Just don't get swindled out of your money! 10. CONCERTS This is it, this is the good stuff. You wanted some music and now you've got it; what kind of music is your jam? Will you be sitting comfortably or are you going to meet someone in the pit? If your scenario doesn't match the location, make something up or pick a different one, we won't tell! As always, these are just suggestions. Make up anything you want, as long as you're having fun!

[dead_tongue]

That seems excessive.

I promise not to puke at least until we're on the rides.

[theotherobin]

Never rode with em again, that's for fucking sure.

[he secures the helmets once he's off and tries to fix his hair, but it really only fluffs it up more.]

Don't think you're gonna puke on the rides either. You don't seem like the type, even if you cry when you bump your shins.

[dead_tongue]

I do cry, it's awful. But no, not much of a puker.

[He waits, giving off sincere excited Pomeranian energy.]

ugh dw is being shitty with notifs again

[theotherobin]

Hey, we all have our moments.

[ he's super fucking sensitive too, honestly. he just does everything possible not to show it.

Iggy's cute, definitely giving off that energy, but there's nothing to wait for as they head for the amusement park now. ]

So what's your favorite ride?

dw how dare

[dead_tongue]

Oh, god. All of them. Hm.

[He looks around, trying to decide.]

The Cyclone. Let's do that first.

[theotherobin]

I was hoping you'd say that.

[he says as he nudges Iggy with his shoulder.]

Are you a screamer?

[dead_tongue]

[Iggy looks demure. Sort of.]

Guess you'll find out, stud. C'mon.

[Just pulling him towards the line.]

[theotherobin]

Guess so.

[he was teasing for sure, but he likes that Iggy can take it as such. he heads to the line with Iggy, saddling up next to him when they get there.]

I'm fucking loving this Halloween theme. It's like, bordering on almost corny, which is awesome.

[dead_tongue]

Right? It's funny when you're born on Halloween, it's sort of like everyone is inadvertently celebrating with you.

[theotherobin]

That's pretty fucking awesome actually. I'd love that. You really can just act like the whole world is celebrating you.

My birthday's in August. It's like, literally nothing.

[dead_tongue]

August is cool, though! You can do summery things. That makes you a Leo?

[theotherobin]

Summery things are just regular shit, though. I don't really like my birthday anyways though so it's cool. I'm a Leo, yeah. Does that mean anything?

[dead_tongue]

Why don't you like your birthday?

Leos are very passionate! Very proud, very charismatic.

[theotherobin]

It's never been a great day. Kinda pointless really, but it's no big deal.

Does that sound like me?

[dead_tongue]

I don't think I understand why it would be pointless.

[He nods.] From what I know about you so far, yes. You probably also get super pissy if your pride is hurt.

[theotherobin]

You know how some things just are? It's kinda like that.

[he snorts softly, pushing at Iggy's shoulder with a finger]

First of all, fuck you. Second of all, yeah, you're probably right.

[dead_tongue]

I don't. But okay.

[He grins, unbothered.] I like Leos, don't worry about it.

[theotherobin]

It's all good.

You really think all Leos are pretty much the same like that? I'm also super chill and laid back.

[dead_tongue]

Mmm, no, see, astrology is complicated. But it's also not like... fated. It's like how wine is different based on when and where it's bottled, that's all.

If we ran a birth chart on it I bet we'd see all sorts of cool stuff.

[theotherobin]

I never really believed in all that shit. Especially the fated stuff, so at least it isn't that.

I think life depends on how you grew up.

[he says as they get to the front of the line and the guy leads them into their seats and straps them in.]

[dead_tongue]

That's fair. It's all pretty esoteric.

Life depends on so much! Genetics, economics, environment... and you'll never know what is responsible for what.

[Iggy is grinning, excited.]

Oh my god. Yes, let's go oooo!

[theotherobin]

Well, those things pretty much are all a part of how you grew up. Except maybe the genetics thing, but I don't really get that.

[he doesn't really get a lot of it, but Iggy's easy to talk to about anything and that's pretty cool. it's why he wanted to go on a date with him.

once they're strapped in, Jason already throws his arms up in excited anticipation.]

This is gonna be goooood!

[dead_tongue]

But different parts.

[He's all but vibrating with excitement as the roller coaster finally begins its slow ascent.

He looks to Jason and grins right before the drop.

And yes. He's a screamer.]

[theotherobin]

[ he loves this part. the slow ascent, that moment right before the fall. he looks at Iggy with a big grin on his face as well, then laughs as they go down, his arms still up in the air.

Iggy is a screamer for sure, but it's amusing, and after a moment Jason lets out a yell of his own cause it feels good. ]

[dead_tongue]

[Rollercoasters don't last long, but Iggy enjoys every second. When they are let off he's laughing, throwing an arm around Jason for a side-hug.]

That was great! We need to go on all of these!
