Welcome to Gaia! ::

Down the row of games you find one of the staple favorites at every fair: the always fun and somehow challenging Fish Bowl Toss!

There is a small table set up inside a square booth filled with various sized bowls full of inviting water. There are a few ping pong balls littered around on the table and buckets of them on the booth as you walk up. There is a small sign telling you that each ticket gets you three balls in which you have the chance to win yourself a new fishy friend! There are plenty of other players gathered around the table and others waiting for just the right moment to make their throws.

In the center of the table is a large tank with a few fancy goldfish watching over the players.

Any time you get a ball into one of the bowls you win a goldfish! Of course, keeping in mind that not everyone wants the responsibility of caring for a fishy friend, there are also several goldfish beanbag friends to choose from as well!



Rules:

★ Roll 3 d10. Every time you get a 10 you get your choice of a prize!

Mehri never really saw the appeal of an actual pet. It was something she needed to take care of, an added burden to an otherwise uninteresting task, and so why force a life onto an unwilling? She liked animals well enough, no mistake there, but the concept of owning one for herself was just beyond what she wanted or needed. If she really wished to see or pet an animal, why not go to a café, or chase down a stray?

Here though, it seemed as though she could win an actual fish if she wanted, or substitute it for what looked to be a stuffed animal.

Stuffed animals would be quite cute at COTE, she supposed, and where was the harm in giving anything a try? After she was done here for now she could get a snack or two since it looked like they had some rather nice food trucks out in the open.

Grabbing the first ball offered, Mehri tipped back....and absolutely nailed it on her first try. When offered a prize, she reached over and picked up one of the fish bean bags and tucked it into the matching purse that came with the outfit she wore.

There were two tries left....

It was time for toss number three and, true to Mehri's nature of not wanting to waste more energy than needed on something that didn't interest her, she tossed the ball without much fanfare. This one missed as well, though since not as much force went behind it this go 'round it certainly didn't ping off into the night like a man on the run. Instead it simply fell down with something akin to a whimper, the echo of its ping against glass the only remaining noise.

A little disappointed that she couldn't get a second bean bag (for now), Mehri figured it was time to wander off and perhaps get that snack she had somewhat promised herself. She'd come back to try again sooner or later, since it didn't say they were only allowed to play one time.

Having decided to come back before making a trip to somewhere else, Mehri absolutely had it in mind that she needed at least one of each of the beanbag fish or else she just would feel like she accomplished anything. It was weird the things that randomly triggered her interest or wants, and even though she knew herself quite well it was still surprising whenever something grabbed her and refused to let go.

The beanbags weren't even that cute (in her opinion), but something about needing a complete set called to her. Perhaps it was a need to have all of the things offered and not just settling for a single bit? Either way once it was her turn again, she grabbed the three balls and stepped up.

Naturally all three missed with the grave and poise one would expect of a person not athletically inclined, and Mehri sighed as she debated yet another go 'round. She had the whole fair to try and try again after all, so there really wasn't much of a rush.

Okay.. So that was a definite miss. Even with three ping pong balls. Not that he was really surprised, these things were known to be rigged after all. But he definitely wanted one of those beanies... Another go, he only had a couple more tries available right? Might as well see what his luck would grant him.

This game seemed to involved getting ping pong balls into bowls of water. Perrie looked at the prizes as he munched on his cotton candy; they were adorable little plush goldfish! (And some real goldfish too, but he didn't trust himself with a living pet.)

Picking up three ping pong balls, he gave it his best shot. But he missed each time. He seemed to be better at games that involved lobbing things like a cricketer.

Perrie shrugged again and, stuffing his mouth full of cotton candy, moved on to the next game.

Not satisfied with the results of her first go Noelle picked up three more ping pong balls. And missed three more times.

Giulia Montgomery was super excited to see that there was a PING PONG goldfish stall at the faire this year. not that she wanted a fish, considering Jada's cats would probably eat it, but that was what beanbag fish were for.

Her other siblings were wandering about, but this was going to be Giulia's time to SHINE- and so she grabbed the ping pong balls, chucking them confidently forward.
