[CLOSED] [NPC Booth] Noland's Booth (Apples to Apples)

[Sosiqui]

Manyara, now dusty from being launched into the dirt courtesy of the Bucking Chopper, wandered towards another booth, attracted by the strange mixture of bright color and... well, no color at all. It didn't take long before the Horseman was biting again, this time sinking her teeth into a bright, juicy apple.

... Hm?

When the voice arose in her mind, Manyara hissed and inadvertently spat apple pulp everywhere. But... no, no, they weren't saying home. Her eyes bright, Manyara crouched, staring at the cards that had presented themselves. She could read, of course, even if she didn't like to, and the voices didn't seem like they'd shut up until she picked a piece of paper.

So she did, jabbing out a clawed finger at random, denting and nearly puncturing the poor card - teapots.

... Those were a Conquest thing, and therefore silly. Right.

That done, the voices left her alone, and she devoured the apple, core and all.

Wandering past the booth with hunger pangs in his stomach, Kwasi didn't even bother to wonder what the point of the whole setup was for. Of course, he didn't usually eat apples, but they were red, that was the important part. Happily grabbing one and taking a bite, he was halfway through his second before he realized what was happening. What was this, some sort of joke? It didn't seem very funny, or silly even, as someone seemed to think it was. No, it was not. It was dumb and annoying, he just wanted to eat his apple. He eyed the cards in front, irritated, and chucked the apple hard at the one that suited his mood the best.

Hungry

Walking on around, Shun spotted his mentor manning a booth of his own.

"Ah... there's my stealth mentor," he murmured to explain to Mitsu. He didn't think she had met him before, but he thought he'd point out the hungry ghost anyway. As for whether they'd stick around here, it'd be up to her. They could just pass on by.

Alice, after some time, stumbled upon the apple booth once again. She looked slyly to both sides of her, making sure if she could find her way back here some other time. She breathed slowly before walking back up to the booth she had been to earlier. She gently grabbed the strange white apple, and took a good chunk of the apple, and began to chew. It was quite delicious, she had too say, but that strange sensation had come to fill her mind once more. But strangely, the word that kept repeating itself in her mind was something the she thought about for a moment.

Silly.

She then noticed the cards, and picked the card that seemed the most suitable.

Laughter.

Anything that was silly enough would eventually make her laugh. Then the cards disappeared once more, and soon found herself somewhere she didn't recognize. Why does it do that every time I take a bite of those apples, she thought as she went on her way to the other booths.

Mitsu was right beside Shun the whole way back into the festival. She stepped closer, her arms tense but she did her best to keep a neutral relaxed expression. It probably looked a little forced but she was trying.

Turning in the direction Shun indicated Mitsu eyed the hungry ghost uncertain if she had ever seen him before. She knew Shun had a mentor but beyond that she knew little about him. Pointing toward the booth Mitsu looked at Shun curiously as if asking if he wanted to go over.

Perhaps it was the absence of color of the surrounding booth or the radiant red hues of the shining treats left unattended; whichever it was it attracted her attention. There was no one to be found and Iyari stared at the apples longingly. She had yet to taste any of the food being offered, and apples seemed harmless enough.

Eying a deep red apple she grasped her hand around it. "Mmm." She took a deep bite, happily chewing it down.

It was immediate and she stopped in her tracks, staring blankly at the black and white structure of the booth. Clearly there was no one there, but still in her head it was like a voice screaming out from around her. A word, over and over again. "Silly?" She muttered aloud. In a quick flash the cards came and she watched them as they fluttered in front of her.

There wasn't much time to think and she reached out gently, touching the first word to stick to her mind:

OAF

The card, the apple and the booth disappeared leaving her with a sudden hunger for apple pie. With that, she went on to enjoy the rest of the booths.

((sn: never crazy))  

[Blade Kuroda]

Shun shrugged then guided her closer to the booth. There were some apples here. Oh good. Maybe he could get Mitsu to eat a little too. Reaching out, he went ahead and took one and bit into it. It was rather sweet, though he soon felt something a little strange. He furrowed his brow as he heard a whisper. It sounded like... 'silly'.

And then cards appeared before him.

They had words on them.

Blinking, he glanced to Mitsu, then picked one up at random. He wasn't going to take his time trying to read these things. If he had, he would have picked 'fool'. But instead?

Snivelypoop

That was what he picked.

Willow was actually still wondering the booths, working her way back to her own booth. Her tail flickered as she paused at a booth with apples just sitting there.

The Byakko paused looking at them, well... apples were a nice snack. Looking around the ghost tried to see if there was anyone working. Well... maybe just one wouldn't hurt?

It didn't take but one bite before her nose wrinkled. That was a weird feeling, she found her ears twitching trying to locate a sound she swore she heard.... something like... 'SILLY'.

It was hard to place though, watching as cards flew up in front of her. Her head tilted as she looked at the words. Ice blue eyes scanning the cards, her nose wrinkled as she read them, Argle-bargle, colly....wobbles...webbles.... or something like that. Fli...ttery...something or another with a g in it. Willow shut her eyes for a second shaking her head. "What in the jack kind of words are these....." She muttered,

She sighed eventually touching one that said, Snollygoster... ghoster maybe. Willow shook her head, she didn't know about all these funny words and the noise was a bit annoying.

Apples were such an odd thing to keep at the booth but Mitsu looked them over curiously as they got closer, taking one as Shun handed it to her. She waited until he took a bite of his own before she was satisfied enough to eat hers. Since he had been eating she had as well but this apple came with an odd feeling, it was unwelcome as it settled on her and she heard a whisper, a single word. 'Silly'

Her eyes darted around for the source of the voice, her brows furrowed with concern. Where had that come from?

When she turned back to the booth it seemed there were a number of cards in place that hadn't been there before. It was a little unsettling but Mitsu reached out to shuffle through the cards eventually touching one just to see it a little better. Unfortunately that ended up being her choice as the rest of the cards disappeared.

'Maggots - I though it was rice.'

At least it wasn't anything gross. Eww.

[Blade Kuroda]

"Well. That was... slightly strange.." Shun murmured. He looked over towards Mitsu, "Lets head elsewhere before any other strange cards spawn before us."

Shaking his head, he very very gently and somewhat gingerly took her hand. In his hurt left one. He really hoped she wouldn't be squeezing it. His grip wasn't too tight, but he had it. Once he did, he started to head elsewhere.  

[Inu-Mitsu]

She gave a slight nod, feeling him take her hand once again. She expected him to take hold of her wrist or arm after what happened but he seemed willing to hold her hand. Mitsu would just have to tell herself to be careful. No slip ups! She didn't want to hurt him further.

Now very conscious of holding his hand Mitsu walked back into the crowd and toward their next booth.

While escaping the potential bites of bats, Phil found himself grumbly in the tummy department. Without much thought, the usually cautious boil picked up an apple from a bowl that was placed on the counter of a booth. Once he took one bite, the mothman realized the danger he might have gotten himself into.

1) He hadn't thought about what he was doing when he bit into it. He could have choked.
2) What if the apple was poisoned? He could have been unconscious for weeks.
3) Oh Jack what if it belonged to some large ogre? He'd be beaten to a pulp!

Through the various scenarios of his doom being considered, Phil began to collect up a word rather clearly: SILLY.

As soo as he did, card revealed themselves out of thin air. The boil considered the possibility that he was delusional from apple poisoning, but none the less chose a card that seemed fitting somehow: FORECAST

Predetermination was humorous to the mothman.
