Oh, so close, but not close enough as the ball went flying past the target without hitting it. Ebony raised her hands with a shrug as she shook her head though with a smile on her face. ”Miss eh? Don’t worry folks, merely a warm up. I’ll get him this time.” Guess the only way to get her to start talking really was to give her a challenge, given she wasn’t actually speaking to anyone in particular, but it was nice…right? Slated eyes narrowed in concentration before she let loose yet another throw.

Or maybe she wouldn’t get him this time. In fact, her throw pulled further left than she’d intended this time. Normally not one for such displays of human emotion, Ebony couldn’t contain her slight frustration at the game by chewing her bottom lip in a half pout, staring intently on the pool. ”You’re quite elusive Captain, but I’m very determined…” Practically ripping those tan cat paws off and stuffing them onto her belt, Ebony took her last ball and whispered to it, ”Come on…you can do it…don’t disappoint me…” And even as odd as that may have been, Ebony gave the ball a quick pecking kiss before she threw it.

Sevilin squealed when the little dragon floated into his hands. He reflexively wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tight. As she trilled for his attention, the sea dragon held her back in his hands, gawking at her little mouth agape. Uhmmm. Floating down, the watery Frei picked up his sugary cupped and offered it to the Gwee. "Do you like sugar?"
With the little dragon preoccupied, Sevilin turned to Lara who was explaining. "Ohhh... so it's a game?" The Raevan's eyebrow twitched and a strange devilish twinkle lit up his blue eyes. "I'm good at games...". Sevilin looked back at the pirate. "He shall face his dooom!!" Giddy with excitement, the sea dragon floated over into line, bobbing and wiggling as he waited his turn.

Now that Mitya had finally met the other that he had been searching for, he quickly went back to being the agreeable and affectionate chimera he always was. With a relieved laugh and a promise that he would be able to play with her again sometime soon, Mouse replaced Head-mitri back where he belonged on her costume. Hm... Roux had gone outside and left his chimera alone. It would be a mess if there had to be another chimera search, and as such the horseman decided to gather up Mitya-also and keep an eye on her for a while. Surely the ice Frei wouldn't mind too much. And the little thing was just too adorable to leave all alone!
That done, Mouse clocked her way outside where a slowly growing line was forming at the Pools of Doom-- that guy up there in the pirate costume must be Dr. Tsu. And it looked like Roux was next, too! "Hey, Roux! I'll watch your chimera while you play, okay?" she called out, managing to free an arm and wave at him. "Good luck!"

Roux ignored Mouse... it was his turn.
Roux floated forward, a cruel smile sliding across his lips, eyes narrowing as he gripped one of the balls. Laz had delivered the heat, now Roux would add in some cool. Arcs of frost skittered over the surface of the ball and he gripped it expirmentally.
He looked up toward Tsu, the expression in his eyes truely cold enough to chill. He drew back, his movements ever graceful and smooth, and threw...
Parfait put her small claws on the edge of the cup, looking curiously in. Sugar? She stood on her hind feet, leaning forward to poke her head half into the cup and sniffed lightly. It smelt sweet and delicious and it was as pink as she was! Parfait took an experimental sip, giving a rather exaggerated hum of happiness as the sugary drink hit her tongue.
It was wonderful!
Parfait drank her fill, plopping back down into Sevilin's hand with a tiny burp.
Mitya-also.. being just a kitten... was quickly tuckered out and fell asleep in Mouse's arms.

"Good huh?" Sevilin took the cup back and lifted it to his lips, but nothing was in it. "Heeey..." He whined, but there was no heat in his words. besides you couldn't get mad at something so cute. It was impossible.
Instead, he turned Parfait around to watch Roux play the game. His first throw came very close. Very close. Some competitive spirit in him made the little Frei bristle at Roux's technique. He hoped he would get a shot at it before Roux won.

The throw was a miss, and while that made Roux clench his fists in anger he still twinge of success as the ball hit -very- close to the button. Not bad.. he could do better.
Roux clutched another ball tightly, bringing his hand back and letting his second ball fly, this time a small layer of ice coating the outside...
Parfait wiggled. She stood up and turned circles. She sat back down. She stood back up. She bugled an encouraging call to Roux before turning around and scampering up along Sevilin's arm for as far as she could, sliping and catching herself with her wings... which seemed to go at a humming-bird's pace.
The sugar was setting in.

Sevilin cheered Roux, but for the wrong reasons. He missed again! Hee hee. He wondered how many turns each person got? he hoped not too many! He wanted to play too! though there was still one more person in front of him. Apparently firemen needed a day off too.
"What are ya doing?" he asked his little dragon sister, extending his arms so she could climb and crawl all over him.

Roux fumed! The ball had soared gracefully.. over Tsu's head, bouncing off toward the forest behind the set up. He grabbed the next ball tightly, gritting his teeth, this ball recieved the full ice treatment.. becoming all but a dense iceball itself. He reared back and threw with all his might, not really taking too much time to aim...
Parfait hiccuped, landing on Sevilin's shoulder. She gave a small growly sound and 'attacked' one of Sevilin's braids. She let it go before tilting her head to the side, eyes wide as she panted quickly. She felt like she could fly around all of Gaia and back within a few minutes!
Oh heavenly sugar! She'd have to seek out more soon! For now she contented herself with nuzzling Sevilin's cheek.

The ball hit just shy of the button and Roux gave an aggrivated growl. He would have kicked the bucket that held the balls if he had feet.. as it was the temperature around the immediate area took a sharp decline.

Mouse watched intently as each ball arced with the intent of being the one that would dunk the doctor... the first one was uncomfortably close; the second was farther off. When the third one zoomed through the air her ears expected to pick up the heavy splash of a pirate reaching his watery grave, it was so close! When it glanced off the tarp right next to the button, the horseman finally remembered to breathe. That was the closest anyone had gotten so far.
"That was quite a throw... I bet he's feeling a lot less secure up there now that he knows it's possible," she said to anyone who happened to be within earshot. The Raevan had probably just made the water several degrees colder with his little display of frustration as well - you can bet this girl was grateful that she didn't have to be up there above the tank.

"Ah!" Sevilin wailed in mock horror as the little gwee latched onto his hair though the fright wasn't very convincing as he began to laugh. He rubbed his cheek against Parfait loving and kissed her on her wet little nose. She tasted like the punch.
"Oh..." Sevilin held the little Gwee tight as she began to shiver. He wondered why. The sea dragon wandered over to Roux, smiling brightly, his smile not betraying the victory he felt inside. "Good try, Roux! You were so close..." Looking down, Sevilin took hold of Roux's cold hand to shake it.

The catwoman wandered away from the dunking game a tad bit disappointed in her horrible aiming. Hit the target, win a prize didn’t look to be so easy now. Though…it did make her wonder if that game was indeed fixed like so many of those carnival games were. But of course the obvious question of what would any of them have to gain from it had to be asked, and the answer was nothing. They weren’t collecting money, just trying to get together and have some fun. Ebony lurked behind the collective of would-be dunkers, watching to see all of them laughing and enjoying one anothers company. It made her wish Aphi would get out of his funk and come join. She shook the thought of him sitting by himself on the couch where she’d left him out of her head, but it wasn’t easy.
Suddenly the air became very frigid near the dunking group and Ebony couldn’t resist a shiver. Her teeth began to chatter as she pulled her warm cat gloves back on and rubbed at her naked arms. Wishing to have worn something with more layers, she wondered why it had gotten so cold so quickly? Pools of steel took notice of the icy raevan whom had taken his turn at sinking the pirate man, but the look on his face and the sound that came from his mouth made it clear he was quite upset with not winning. With a shakey breathe due to the cold, Ebony stepped quickly back inside.

Roux looked down at Sevilin's hand blankly, for a moment he simply stared, wondering why the other Raeven had touched him and then... Something... it ...
Roux flinched, quickly jerking his hand out of Sevilin's grasp as though he'd just touched something hot.. but for the Icey Frei.. it was something worse. Roux looked at his hand, which sported a quickly darkening red mark in the shape of Sevilin's palm and fingers. It -stung-.. enough to make the Roc hiss and bite his lip.
What was this?! He flared his wings in anger, the temperature plummeting further, partially in self-defence against this sudden unknown threat and partly because he was so startled. "Ow!" He glared at Sevilin accusingly, cradling his reddening hand close to his chest. He repeated the word, calmer and softer as he looked once more down at his injury. "Ow.."
Parfait shivered, eyes half closing as she gave a small unhappy croon. The sugar was quickly running out of her tiny system.. being so small and so active meant a metabolism through the roof. She gave Sevilin a parting nuzzle before taking to the air and heading in the direction of the Junk Shack..she smelt something delicious there...
..More sugar.

Sevilin felt the strangest sensation bathe his palm. He could feel a bizaare sizzling that ached annoyingly. "Ah!" The little Frei pulled back just as hastily, clutching his palm, but nothing unusual was wrong with it. Then he looked to Roux. "Oh, Roux I-- I'm really sorry I didn't mean to... I..." What had he done?
