Alec and his sister Ashley have tagged team to make up for lost time. She had begged her old brother to be part of the Festival, and rather reluctantly he has agreed. The older had a hard time telling the small child no this was no different. Now, dressed up as some crazy Wallist, and a little mini me, the red headed pair have managed to set up a water tank (thankfully not water from the canal) and a mechanism. When the white plate is struck, it lets the platform collapse and lowers the body on the bench above the tank effectively dropping them into the water.
"Praise be to the Walls, will ya try your luck?" Alec calls, shifting in his seat and giving you a wave of greeting. He seems fairly pleased, despite the situation. Alec wears his usual goggles around his eyes, namely to avoid the discomfort from the water below.
Ashley sits in a high chair at the booth table, beaming with joy. "Yes! Walls be Most Glorious, please come join us wont you?!" She chirps happily waving her little over sized sleeves enthusiastically. She is tiny, the 6 year red head old doesn't seem to mind one bit her robe is over-sized. Her hair is tied up in pigtails, and they bounce with her movements as she flails around in greeting at the people of Shinganshina as they pass by. Obviously she is repeating something her older sibling told her to say, yet seems too change up the context in a variety of ways as she hollers form her perch. Her wide green eyes seem to sparkle with wonder as people came and went.
Alec and Ashley are currently at their booth! Feel free to try.
So what do you have too do?
Alec gestures wildly to a sign posted by his booth. The letters are clearly not by his own doing, as they legible and ease to read.
- You will roll a 1d6 - If you land on a 1 or 6 you score a successful hit and manage to dunk Alec in the water tank. - 2-5 will result in a miss - Please post at least 2 sentences of rp, you may otherwise try as much as you like. - If you want an IC response from Alec (or Ashley) please quote me. - Otherwise you can just keep trying.

You can just walk up and ask/take a ball and start trying! No need to pay the two silly NPC's. They are just having fun with this. - Winners will be added to my raffle ticket list in order to receive one tailor ticket. I will roll at the end of the event to determine the outcome.
(if you have any questions feel free to pm/im me, I can add more if this doesn't make sense)
Lenore wandered about aimlessly, having been given a break. The girl scowled as she heard the unmistakable sound of a wallist's drivel. Turning, her eyes widened as she took in the sight. Dunk the Wallist? Shut up and take her money! Except it was free, which only hardened the girl's resolve to dunk him.
Grabbing a ball, she threw it at the mechanism and missed.

Undeterred, Lenore grabbed another ball. Taking aim, she threw it and...
Gotchya!

Just as Alec was about to irk the girl on, hoping she'd keep trying when he heard the mechanism give a little squeal of protest. His eyes went wide, and before he knew it he was dropped rather rudely to the water below. Squawking in dismay he came up floating, laughing. "Good shot!" he swam over to the small exit, climbing out and pushing up on the small seat-like trap and climbed back on with ease. "That first one was close anyway." Alec grinned at the small girl, back on his high perch. "Well, your free to try as much as you want, just so you know." He assured her, having seen her sort of barrel over here like she was on a mission.
Ashley waved happily to her savior but stayed put should anyone need coaxing to come closer. "PRAISE THE WALLS!" the little girl shrieked happily.

"What this, Alec? This is an interesting booth--and situation--that you've put yourself in..."
Elliot likely would have walked past had he not realized who it was who was perched precariously on the mechanism set to sent the seated individual plummeting into the pool below. He actually had to stop and squint a little to confirm that it was indeed the redhead before he decided to say something.
Standing by as Lenore--a face he recognized, what with that little bonfire fiasco--came up to give it a go, Elliot shoved his hands in his pockets to watch her, lips spread into an amused grin. "For your sake, Alec, I hope--oop."
Nope, there he went. "You've got a good arm." He laughed, turning to the girl and lifting his brows, genuinely impressed.

Sirantha Eden was quite exhilarated, she had only just recently snuck away from the inn where she was in a sense held in a gilded cage. Her pace slowed when she caught sight of the booth. It was fascinating, a boy sat above a tub of water. Dunk the Wallist the booth was called. A smiled played upon her lips. She tentatively picked up the ball, it was heavier than she thought it would be and kind of lumpy, as if it was filled with sand or rice.
Never before had she thrown something with intent to hit something, yes, she was embarrassed to admit that she had thrown things while in a fit of rage or as her governess called it, a tantrum. With a deep breath she stared at the target and let the ball soar...

The ball went wide and hit one of the people walking up to the booth, "Oops! I'm so sorry!" Her cheeks became red, she never failed and this was an embarrassment to her. It was supposed to be easy, so then why could she not hit the bloody target and send the kid into the tub of water? Taking in a deep breath, she decided that she would try again and again until she finally understood this art of throwing a ball. She would become perfect, and even if she despised the saying 'practice makes perfect', it was something that she needed.
She picked up the next ball and paused, "You may want to move! I may not hit the target and may hit you." The man she yelled to laughed and then moved a safe distance away but continued to watch the scene she was most likely going to make.
"Okay, here it goes." And the second ball took flight.

Lenore nodded at Ashley as she picked another ball up. Turning to Elliot, she nodded again. "Thanks." "Praise the Walls" the little girl said, and Lenore took aim at the mechanism again. The ball went shy of the intended target, bouncing off to roll at Ashley's feet.

Retrieving another ball, the girl threw it forward. It sailed over the mechanism and bonked a bystander on the back of the head. He turned around to look for the source of the ball, but Lenore ducked down below the booth.

Peeking over the edge of the booth, Lenore made sure that the man had gone back to doing whatever he had been doing before grabbing another ball. Taking aim, she threw it and...
Hit the man on the head again. Oops.

"Seriously!?" She wanted to scream, she kept hitting people, not the target. She turned her attention to the other woman who was at the booth, "How did you hit the target the first time? I have no clue what I am doing." To admit those words was almost like a fatal wound to the perfectionist, "I have never thrown an object like this before and I think before long there will be more bruised people than a wet 'Wallist'." She looked pleadingly at the woman. Sirantha really wanted to become proficient at throwing a ball.

Lenore looked up at the lady's question and shrugged. "I just threw it. I don't think there's a trick, you just have to get lucky." To demonstrate her point, she picked another ball up and threw it. The ball zoomed forward to slam into the bystander's head again, as if it were a homing beacon. He looked around, more confused than angry.

When the pink haired boy stopped by, he greeted Elliot in turn with a rather sheepish smile. It must have seemed like a bit of a strange site. Alec had thought of it one nigth lying awake wondering how he could appease the pouting girl who ran the booth with him. "Haha, Its ok! I'm hoping a few people manage to land a couple hits." He glared at the mechanism momentarily. "It was being difficult, and with all the running around I didn't h ave time to fix it." He leaned forward a bit as Thalea came to join.
"It's alright miss don't be shy! The Walls will guide you. Keep trying!" he looked amused, like he wanted to laugh. She was angry, so he would do no such thing. Alec wasn't as bad as the cultist that sometimes slunk around no. "Even if you um..do bruise a few people." He cast a glance at a man who looked rather grumpy having been struck. Woopse. While he did believe in them, and revealed them as they rightfully deserved this was all meant for theatrics.
"I'm not that bad I swear." He gave a small sigh of relief with the girls ball missed. Not this time.

Grabbing another ball, she chucked it at the mechanism, her tongue out slightly. The ball went wide, bouncing harmlessly into the grass. Somewhere, a man sighed in relief.
