Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rules

You have two choices; you can roll for normal ducks and get a prize where you know what you’re getting. Or if you’re a little more adventurous, you can roll for the mystery prize ducks. The ducks will hold prizes that are out of the ordinary prizes, they could be treats or tricks depending on which box you roll. The treats are sometimes better prizes, more interesting. However, the tricks are almost like a gag gift, let’s hope no one is squeamish, there’s no tellings what 3rd graders come up with as prank prizes. ~-^

Normal Ducks - Roll a 10 sided dice
---- 1-6 candy of your choice (bag mixed, mostly 'penny' candy, suckers, sweet tarts, etc.)
----7-9 small stuffed animal
----10 large stuffed animal and a hole punch

(For the animals please tell me what kind of animal. I plan on doodling the prizes.)

Mystery Prize Ducks – Roll a 100 sided Dice
----Odds: Mystery box number 1.
---- Evens: Mystery box number 2.
The Mystery prizes also include a hole punch. This is the parent’s way of apologizing for any gag gift a poor person might receive.
(While you can't choose the Mystery prize I will be doodling these as well.)

You can try more than once; you can win only one hole punch for this game though.
Oh and your character can choose to keep the duck too, however, the parents ask that you only keep one duck total, spread the love man!

Please post what duck type you are going for in bold at the top of your post. Example.



You’re free to do this one of two ways. You can post your character picking a duck and then post with the reaction to the prize or you can post with a roll and edit in your pull and reaction at the same time.

I’ll reply asap with an awarding post.

As a bonus, I have a duck template for you guys to color. If you want your character to keep their ducky from the pool you’re free to take the duck template and color/edit it however you please.

The ducks come in all colors. (Just fyi) The template looks like the ducky at the top!


NPCS
-Chilaili (Chi) Holywell – Istas’ mother, she's dressed as Sacagawea, sitting cross legged waiting for patrons. Istas is also often milling around since her mother is working the stand often calling and asking/trapping unsuspecting passers bye’s to pull a duck.

(Feel free to ping me if you’re interested in helping, or to prompt me using Istas if you need a reason for your character to join.)

Please wait for an opening post.

-Aurora was on one of her handful of fifteen minute breaks from her booth. She had time to go get some food if she wanted, or go to the bathroom, or even play a game or two herself. Unfortunately it all had to be done in her tacky cafe outfit, but hey.. maybe it'd work as advertisement? And besides.. it still covered more then her fuku...

Spotting a stand that looked absolutely charming Aurora drew near, trying to figure out the game that was being offered. Just grab a ducky out of the pool? Simple enough! Her eyes glanced over the prizes mildly before smiling at the indian woman running the booth.- "What a cute game! Can I get two pulls please?"

-Money was offered and Aurora bent down to procur two cute little duckies, one pumpkin and one bat, showing off her costume required frilly underwear to anyone that might have been behind her.

Lifting the duck up lightly she tried to see if she was a winner.-

"Oh really? Thank you." -Glancing between the two ducks, she handed the bat one back, keeping the pumpkin one before she reached into the bowl to grab a little bit of candy.

At the mention of her costume Aurora smiled sheepishly, tugging subconciously on the skirt.- "It's the uniform for the cake walk. But it's alright I guess." -She did like how cute the apron was and the colors weren't bad.-

"I like your costume more though." -She added after a moment with a nod. Aurora wasn't the typical teenager it would seem. Lifting her hand she bid the woman goodbye before hurrying off.- "I've got to get back to my booth now, take care and good luck!"

Bo Hanley will be selecting a Mystery Duck.

The idea of planning a costume typically was beyond Bo's capabilities when Halloween came around. He always had the best intentions, planning it out and tossing ideas back and forth with friends. But when push came to shove, Bo never managed to get it done and would instead half a** some lame costume -- like last year when he painted himself blue and claimed to be the missing member of the Blue Man Group. It had taken days to scrub it all off.

For the Halloween Carnival, Bo had displayed a similar forgetfulness. It was only after he got inside that he even remembered his plan to be a Native American. Oh well. He passed by an arrow-shooting booth and managed to snag a feather. With a little work, he was able to work it into his rainbow headband. And tadah! He was in costume.

So far, Bo had consumed his body weight in fried Oreos, funnel cake, and salted pecans. His fingers were still sticky with a variety of icing, and he spent the better part of the last half hour trying to lick them clean. Up ahead, he spotted a pool of water. Perfect. He picked his way through the crowd and jutted his hands down into the water, only to find a yellow duck bumping into his wrist.

Bo took a step back and belatedly noticed the sign, the ducks, and the little girl working what was now clearly a game booth. "Oh, uh," he stammered, pulling his dripping hand out. "I wanted to..." Shifty eyes. "Um, play this game?"

A dollar bill popped into view and was passed quickly to the booth worker. He shot a wink at the little girl and then reached out to yank a duck. With a triumphant grin, Bo flipped the duck to reveal the number forty-one. He held it up to the little girl, then panned it over to the supervising adult.

"So, do I win?" he asked. Clearly Bo had not read the rules of the game.

His duck had won him a mystery prize? How fun. Bo was a fan of games, especially simple ones like this. He could get behind something this easy. It didn't require a lot of brain power, and this was a-okay with him.

Before the little girl could finish, Bo flipped the little yellow duck back into the water. "Nah, better keep this guy with his family," he said. He crouched down toward the little gaggle of bobbing ducks. "Isn't that right, guys? Just wouldn't be a party without lucky forty-one." Bo tapped one on the head, and it sent a little wave rippling out. The other ducks stirred around it, clacking together gently.

Yeah, he was most definitely talking to the fake ducks.

Bo straightened and moved his attention back to the little girl. "Cool spider," he said, taking it from her and giving it a few test squeezes. "It will make a wonderful centerpiece for Halloween. Won't it? It will." Bo tossed it into the air and then caught it with a flourish.

Deep blue eyes found Istas again. "A moist towel would be awesome," he said, grinning widely. His eyes flickered to the woman who was supervising. "Hello," he added, mostly out of politeness.

((I’m going for the Normal duckeh~))

Xavier made for an awkward... company (he refused to call this a date just yet, as he was very, very clueless as to what Bell was considering this to be), but he was trying his best. Really, he was !

They'd been wandering the carnival for a bit, as he was trying to gauge what Bell would like, when he spotted the duck booth. Or, most accurately, who was helping run to the duck booth. "Lulu !" He called out to Istas. Would she remember him ? "Your costume is adorable !" He grinned at her. He was oddly good with children, strangely enough. "What's going on, hmm ?"

He reached toward the booth. Well... it happened in every show and movie, that the boy won something nice for the lady accompanying him, yes ? He had to at least try - maybe he'd actually be lucky.

"Three tries, please." He handed off his money to Istas' mother, and then went on to fish his ducks. Come on, be something awesome... !!!

((Oh yeah ! Hm, bear works fine for the plush~))

"Oh, she wasn't any trouble at all." Xavier assured Istas' mother. Really, he had been the one to walk staight into her, but... no one else needed to know that, didn't they ? He just looked downward toward Istas and winked at her.

Candy... candy... SCORE ! Sure, it was a smallish stuffed toy, not the huge plush animals commonly seen in such scenarios, but he was amazed that his luck at held out that long to begin with. He took his awarded two pieces of candy, before accepting the bear. "Thank you. I think ill keep the last duck as a momento." It was a little silly, but...

When he turned back to Bell, he was practically beaming. And then, he handed her the bear. "Look what I won for you !" Girls liked cute stuffed animals, yes ?
