Tybalt had been eying all the people as they stole the eggs from the tank---or in some cases tried to. It looked fun, regardless of the danger. Not to mention it was the perfect opportunity to practice his stealth and face it. He really needed to practice. After a full year of dealing with all the crap the school dished out, who knew when they were going to face something horrible again? So stealing it was!
Now the question was... How to go about it...?
He could sneak up like all the others and just wait for his chance to grab one. Or maybe if he used his invisibility to snatch one? That might be better! Safer too. Less of a chance of being spotted. Better yet, both of the people managing the booth didn't look much like reapers, so hopefully they weren't the kind of people who could sense ghosts very well. Still, best not to underestimate them. They were ToT'ers after all. As dumb as they were for leaving something like that unguarded, it was best to keep as quiet as he can. They did, after all, look like to be the cranky sort who wouldn't tolerate being stolen from. But man were they too trusting. Or was it... That they did it on purpose to bait the students and then give them one hell of an a** kicking for attempting it?
......
He really couldn't decide.

He was so close! Just a little further and---
BAM!
He walked right into Ember. He had been so fixated on the tank and relying too much on the fact that he was invisible, that he hadn't even noticed Ember until she walked right out in front of him and unfortunately for Tybalt, she being smarter than the average person did notice!
"Oh s**t!" He squeaked backing up as quick as he could, just as she raked her claws through the air; barely missing his face. She may not be able to see him, but she definitely knew something was there! Time to run for it!
Though just as he started to run, he noticed that his one and only seed had fallen out of his pocket and was laying at the volcanic dragon's feet and as much as he wanted to race back and snatch it up before she noticed, he didn't want to risk his hide for one seed... Looks like he lost this one to her.
Damn it!

Remi knew he was good.... knew what the plan was.
Looking at the booth, he eyed the little gems warily. He wanted one, any of them. He had become a bit of a collector see... and as a kitsune he found shiny objects attractive sort of like a raven would. Only this raven had fuzz.
Great! they were looking away! Closer and closer and....
AHA! HE GRABBED ONE! Just as he was to make his get away though...
He turned around to find two large shapes, looking over him. ".....Oh hell." His ears pinned backwards as he tried to slink away.....
....Sometime later he dragged himself away... a bruise here or there now joining him in blue-matching-glory.

Right, so he had found another seed and now he was back. This time more determined to snatch an egg before! Only now, he would actually watch where and/or who he was walking into! No need to repeat the same mistake twice!
Once he was close enough, he could see them both and just as he expected, Ember had indeed gone back to her own game she was running. Or she did as soon as she and Break beat up someone who looked vaguely familiar. But once again, he couldn't put a name to the boil... Must be someone he passed in the school halls or something. But he didn't matter! What mattered were those eggs! He had yet to snatch one and there was no way he was going back empty handed this time! Besides! It wasn't like he could he screw this up twice in one day, right?
Now... if only he could convince himself of that. Maybe then he wouldn't be hesitating as much as he was... For several minutes he stalled on the excuse that their wasn't enough of a distraction; The ToT'ers were turned a little too far, that they could spot him... Things like that. Though finally after a long time of waiting and once he was sure it was safe, he made his move and hoped for the best.

Things were looking good! They didn't seem to be aware of his presence at all! Maybe he really would succeed this time!
The closer he got, the more he could make out the rounded objects in the tank. There were yellow-ish orange ones with black centers and there where ghostly blue ones... Ghosts... Ghost? Ghost fish? Ah hah! Now there was a fish he could have! He wanted a ghost fish! Yes! He had never really considered having a fish as a pet before. In fact, he had only really ever had dogs. Dogs were easy to understand, though very demanding. Fish on the other hand, he barely knew anything about them. But it was a ghost, so there couldn't be too much too it, right?
Unfortunately, just as he was about to reach the tank, Break caught hold of the back of his shirt. Luckily, Tybalt was quick enough to twist free of the storm dragon's grasp and make a run for it. Though like the first time, he dropped the seed in his haste.
"Oh for the love of---I just got that too!" He cried out as he ran off for the second time and just as fast as the first.

It was a new day, and no sign of Cade. An entire day and night, Calder had stayed at the booth. Waiting, hoping, sighing until his throat was sore, and then worrying, hating himself for not getting Cade's number, doubting...things, and getting progressively sick through waiting and hoping. He hadn't eaten - well, aside from a few scraps from the very grass around the booth that he had nibbled on just to keep his stomach from tearing itself apart. The romantic imagery of sharing a meal with his boilfriend was washed away in hopes of just getting anything to eat when he was with him.
But Cade wasn't here.
And soon, Calder's own assurances that he would arrive with some excuse as to why he had been late were wearing thin. It was nearly the end of another day, and he was boilfriendless.
And then, his shoulders started to shake. And then, the little bag of the one floresce egg started to rattle in his hand as he felt his throat tighten painfully and his eyes force themselves closed. He gave a large, wet, sniffle and then broke into a full out belting cry.
And It was LOUD! A mix of a full whine of a horse that ended into shivering sobs, before he managed to take another shuddering breath and doing it again. He did this openly, in public, his face streaking with wet, hot tears and his form curling in. He hated this booth. He hated this festival.
He hated Cade!
Clutching his minipet, Calder walked away from the booth, resigning his post. He had spent nearly 2 days alone. He wanted company. He wanted comfort. He wanted to know why someone would do this to him? Why someone would say he was his boilfriend and yet not show up at all?

Kazuka didn't think of his self as a thief. The fact he only tries to steal when it comes to this unique opportunity mostly supported that. But at the same time here he was back again to try and swipe one of the eggs in the tank. He had managed it last time and now he just needed the second type then he told his self he would stop. Of course for his efforts he was rewarded with losing instead of gaining.

Since there wasn't anyone at her booth,Astra thought it would be a great time to go and play some of the booth games. And what better one to start off with was trying to steal some more fish eggs?
It had been some time since she was last here, so she hoped that the ToTers would have forgotten all about her. However, as she had begun to snuck up to the fish tank, Break had immediately spotter her and she was forced to fly a safe distance away,d ropping one of her seeds in the process

Annoyed that her first attempt had been met with failure, Astra was determined to steal herself a few eggs. Or a lot of them. Actually, she wanted to steal them all just to spite those ToTers for catcher her in the act
The nerve of them!
However, she ha dno less taken a few paces before she was, yet again, forced to flee as Break came running after her. She hoped the seed she threw hit him in the eye

Considering she had just been caught twice, she would have to change her strategy and try to sneak up from a different angle. This time she flew in a wide arc, coming up to hide behind the booth and try to sneak towards the tank that way.
Sadly, as she crept behind the booth, two large forms loomed behind her and she turned to see both Break and Ember cracking their fists.
She was having no luck today...

Staggering away from the booth, she waited a little while to re-cooperate from the beating she had just received. After she had regained feeling in her legs, she crept towards the booth once again to try and get herself something. This time, her approach was not noticed, and quietly she slipped up to the tank and picked up a Ghost egg, being quick to fly away before they realized she was there
Ha, stupid ToTers!

Not satisfied with just one egg, Astra had not strayed far and was already creeping back trying to keep herself out of the ToTers sights. She had managed to jump onto the table and look into the tank for a potential egg, but Break had spotted her and she quickly flew off before he could give her another pounding, losing another one of her seeds

Honesty, most would be wondering why the fairy just didn't up and quit, but she couldn't. There were just to many shiny eggs there, tempting her with their shininess. Plus the fact she kept getting caught just made her feel more worse and more inclined to take as much as she could get. It was her way of payback.
And payback she did! She was able to scramble onto the booth and place her hand sin the tank in order to snatch herself a firelands egg and then flee the scene

But not for long, as she hid behind the booth for a few minutes and then crept back to the tank to score some more pretty eggies. This time she had leaned over the tank to grab a egg, but leaned in to far and fell in. A few seconds of splutter and scrambling to get out occurred, but not before she had grabbed another Firelands egg and ran away from the area before they could catch her
She had enough stealing for a while

Siddie had seen, as she walked past the tent several times, a handful of people scooping eggs from the tank and dashing away. Were they free? Or was this more like a five-finger discount? She hadn't seen anyone watching the tank, and there was no clear indication either way.
Surely it couldn't hurt to try taking one of the pretty blue ghost eggs. She scooped one up and tucked it gently into her bodice.
