Welcome to Gaia! ::

[[Pools of Doom]]

The ball managed, just barely, to hit the top of the protective cage and this suddenly impact in its passage made it shoot off back the way it came! It easily sailed over the heads of everyone gathered and disappeared from sight. There was a metallic clank as it hit something unknown, a garbage bin perhaps, and the ringing noise of something whirling on the ground. As Niksia rested her head in her hands in embarrassment it ponked off something else, making an echoing sound that seemed louder than it really should have been.

Eventually, as her face turned scarlet over the pathetic throw, something in the distance yowled suddenly. As if being startled by something unexpected.

'Did I mention that I never really learnt how to throw anything properly?'

Making a valiant effort to scrape her pride back after that display, Niksia took her last ball and rolled it thoughtfully in her hands. She was mildly nervous about her last throw, in case she managed to hurt someone this time.

'Never be at the beck and call of fear...'

Niksia muttered to herself as she threw her last ball, her last chance...

With the last person in front of him tried and gone, Sevilin floated hesitantly forward and picked up a ball, throwing it up in the air and testing it. He hoped this worked just like his video game since he had never really thrown anything, except at We`rika.

The sea dragon took a deep breath, his usual ritual when he was backed into a corner, zombies all around and he only had 8 rounds left. Oh yes, it was on. He pulled back his hand and kind of threw it sorta towards the target.

Well poo! At least he actually hit the tarp this time. He could not lose a game! He wouldn't! He took another deep breath and grabbed one more ball. He would win this! He pulled his arm back and shotgunned that poor ball at the tarp.

The little dragon didn’t need to answer as it was pretty obvious. Still, Ebony wasn’t quite sure what to feed a baby Gwee. She didn’t think any of the sweets that lurked about the kitchen then were very healthy, but there didn’t seem to be much else. Besides, she wasn’t going to just go rummaging through Aphismet’s kitchen without permission and she didn’t really want to bother him either. Well…she already knew the caramel apples were great and it was a fruit…Ebony pulled her gloves off yet again and set to work on one of the apples. Popping it off its stick and taking up a knife from one of the counters, the catwoman carefully sliced the apple so it’d be easier for the dragon to eat. ”There you go cutie. Enjoy.” After cleaning up, Ebony decided she was thirsty. Her grey eyes spied some beer, although it wasn’t really her favorite, she decided she needed some loosening up. Maybe she’d finally be able to pull herself out of her anti-social shell. Taking up a can, she finally noticed the guy sitting there, ”Oh, uh, hey, you mind?”

"Damn." He said, rolling his eyes and picking a ball up to hand to Luka. "Here, give this a try." he said, placing it in the Raevan'shand. "Just aim for that target there." he said, directing Luka to where he was supposed to be throwing the ball.

"Okay." Luka said happily, trying to focus through the holes in the box and throwing the ball in a rather weak manner.

"I was going to surprise you with some warm chocolate banana cake when you got up here, but now since you spoiled my surprise," Natsuki pouted at Kyou, crossing her arms and making a face like a surly five year old, before winking in Kyou's direction. One after the other, contestants stepped up, and every last one of them struck out. Kyou, Niksia, and Sevilin... As each person left without a victory, Natsuki grew more and more convinced Tsu not only had the Devil's luck, but an angel on one shoulder, and Lady Luck draped over the other one. There was no way the S.S. Stubbly was getting sunk in the least. Finally, Shuhei approached with Luka, and a confident grin spread across her lips, "Shoopie, you get me wet and you're in big trouble, Mister!"

Alas, Shuhei and Luka joined the ranks of those who took on Pirate Tsu, and lost spectacularly. "Oh, my dear Cap'n, I was wondering. Did Zavier want or need a costume? I have some spares in my car," Natsuki asked, pointing over to Zav who looked a little lonely being the only raevan without a costume.

Smiling as her ball fell short and merely rolled into the tarp, Jae just grinned. She hadn't tried this game before...usually, her brother would just do it, and end up dunking whoever was unfortunate enough to be the victim.

Picking up another ball, she tossed it lightly in her hand, musing over her next throw. Winding up, she pitched it harder than she had the last, hoping that a little extra 'oomph' might help the ball.
