When: Err...New Years Eve. Wut...wut? (December 31st, Day 14, etc.)
Where: The Castle Plaza
Rating: Worksafe. If this changes, PLEASE INFORM THE MODS.

[Look down. Now back up! Where are you? You're in the Castle Plaza, with the Gods your Gods could God like.

[Lively, pleasant music hangs in the air around you as fireworks explode in the sky above. There is a tempting aroma teasing at your nostrils. Where is it coming from? Those long tables at the center of the plaza, overflowing with food you love. Craving anything from home? You'll be sure to find it there.

[Look around you. What do you see? Carnival games. Hundreds of Carnival games, including a dunk tank, and all for free! Carnival games not your thing? Why not give the dance floor a try? That music is awfully catchy, and just look at all those stunning lights!

[Enjoy yourselves, travelers. A New Year is upon us.]

Oh gosh... [She takes a moment to accept it, terrified of embarrassing herself, even in front of a friend. But she forces herself to be a good sport and accepts the gun.

She, however, is a complete disaster. The nervousness makes her hands shake, so she's always just slightly off when she takes the shot, and every now and then there's a miss so bad that she almost gives up entirely. She braves the game, though, then turns to Allen helplessly.]

I think I should stick to the ducks. [Her shoulders are up, like she's expecting mockery despite their promise.]

[He watches quietly, murmuring brief advice or reassurances sometimes when it looks like she's getting too nervous or shaky to continue -- maybe he shouldn't have made her step up, after all? Well, what's done is done, and Allen just shakes his head at her words.]

It was a difficult game, perhaps intended for those with shooting experience. Still, I suppose I've learned I'm no archer. [He motions for them to move on without further ceremony; no big deal.] Are there any games you particularly like, Nakama?

[whatagoodgirl]

[She's relieved by his casual reassurance, enough to relax visibly. So he meant what he said.]

I've never tried any of them. [Looking at the others thoughtfully.] Maybe the ring toss will be easier?

[briochetime]

[Serious as a heart attack, man.]

Then let us try our luck there next. [He looks about, seems to settle on a direction.] I believe it was... in this direction, yes?

[At least, according to what he's guessing the ring toss is. Seems intuitive enough.]

[whatagoodgirl]

Yeah, it's right over here. [Following after him.] You just throw the rings and try to get them around the sticks.

D'you want to go first again? [Please?]
