"Watchya writin?" After a couple more bursts of movement and energy it actually seemed like the kid was slowing down somewhat, namely as her stomach rumbled at her noisily. Leaning against the booth counter, Voscil tried to get a peek at the tickets as she scooted a bit closer to the other troll.
Luckily Voscil didn't hold the incident against the other troll, and it showed as she hung with the other. Really it was just a mischievous game, and damn the other had gotten her good. She hadn't even REALIZED she was part of the prank until she'd put two and two together. If anything she gave the redblood credit for being so good at managing her expression and not ruining the experience until Vos herself had picked up on what was going on.
When she asked about flarp, the yellowblood bobbed her head up and down several times despite her feeling more so on the drained side of things. Rubbing her stomach she raised one hand giving the other kid a thumbs up. "You play? We'll have to team up sometime or something!" She called back in response with a curious look in her eyes taking the ink blot. Woah, this thing was pretty rad in her own blood color she had to admit!
Turning back to the topic of flarping she gave the other a very curious look before smirking. "Yup, you play it. Usually you dress up in nifty gear and have others to play with." She quickly explained. "Ahhh I'm hungry broski, I'll be back another night okay?" She promised offering out her pinky to shake.

Stryke slipped up to the booth, he hadn't seen this one the nights previous. Pursing his lips in consideration he approached the booth goer, eyeing the ink blot not feeling up to sharing details about himself with a strange troll regardless if that was in the spirit of the booth.
"interesting...that remindsss me of a fallen angel." he gestured the dark blank bits pointing out the shape. "the face is covered with a hood, the rest of the body in a robe. while the grey behind are it's wings,"Even if that was mythological nonsense he chuckled in wonder as he quietly requested for a piece of candy, never minding more goodies to sample in order to quell his sweet tooth.
”Oh, well, me and my booth are fine! I think this inkblot test will really make things pick up.” she said honestly, observing that Pragma, indeed, was looking at it. ”No, I don't believe I do!” she said cheerily, scribbling a note next to what appeared to be Pragma's name and symbol. ... focuses on world around him... was the amount that could be read. She poked at her printer for a moment and finally handed Pragma an appropriately-colored inkblot.
”Why don't you tell me about him, mmm?”
"It's definitely an interesting concept! I think that second one you're drawing there sort of looks like two hearts kissing," he laughed at the absurdity of the joke. "But really, they do like like two hearts sort of leaning up and into each other, don'tcha think?"
"And as for the lusus, I don't know much. He sorta just sticks to himself and doesn't come out when I talk to him. I've only seen him lurking in the shadows, which is why that blot reminded me of him." Pondering to himself, Pragma had an errant thought occur to him. "Hey, so what's your Lusus like? I haven't really heard you talk about them."
He smiled at her, nodding frantically, likely hyped up from the sugar he had consumed before.
"Yes! It's very nice. Good colors. Great candy. And it makes you think, yes? I like that. I like that lots."
He tried very hard to resist stashing more candy into his pockets, knowing his lusus would start to get angry. It wasn't HIS fault he had blood sugar problems. This was a day to have fun, right? Instead he tried turning his attention to the new inkblot on display. This one seemed darker to him. He frowned, trying to make out what he saw.
"I know this is not good explanation, no? But I swear I see a very, very angry bird. I don't like birds too much, no. They don't like me either."
Forera bounced over to the redbloods booth, sitting down on the chair in a rush of energy and grinning at the redblood excitedly. "Heya, Psykgi! Nice hair, HAHA!" She let out a loud laugh before settling herself down and crossing her arms, staring at her intently. "Hmmmm, insteaaaad of me talkin, why don't you talk! I saw ya tryin' ta shoot at my booth— didja like it? How're y'likin' bloodfest so faaar?"
Staring at the ink blot, Forera squinted and licked lips. "Hmmmmmm, it looks kinda like..." She tilted her head to the side and thought a bit, then stood on her hands, eyeing it again. "Looks like a uh... Ghost face! Y'see, those little spots are eyebrows!" She exclaimed, letting herself fall backwards and land on her back with an OOMPH, then giggle loudly.

1 and 4 ...
4!
Wings was, Psykgi had determined from her own thoughts about the inkblot, going to be a common one. But wings on trolls... ”No!” she said, intrigued, ”I didn't know that! It would be very neat, yes indeed!” she said, printing out his new inkblot. Neat to see and neat to interview – oh yes! How would such a troll think? Very interesting!
She blinked in surprise at his joke, and then laughed. ”Haha! Yes you would! Except, wouldn't everybody... flock... to you?” she grinned, inviting him to continue the puns...
And handed him another ticket.

”Oh, just notes.” Psykgi said innocently. Yes, very important notes about Voscil's mind and powers. The mutant psionic was a puzzle to figure out, as all trolls (and that lottery!) were, and Psykgi was going to figure it out! ”Only just started! But I do like it!” Psykgi admitted.
She gave Voscil a polite nod. It was unlikely that she would find the time, but... well. Maybe. She'd rather team up with Leeroi, honestly. But if the oppurtunity presented itself... why not?
”All right, see you later!” she said, waving.

Psykgi had been hoping for more secrets and personal details and less inkblot but she couldn't complain because, clearly, the inkblots were fun. For her too!
She gave the interestingly horned troll a candy. ”A fallen... angel?” she flipped through her books. Ah, a mythological winged creature symbolizing... doom? Despair? Huh. ”Interesting!” she said, giving the troll his new color-coordinated copy, ”And what do you think of them? Angels?”
Ma'am gives you a ticket too, because Stryke is adorable.

Well, the highblood seemed to be enjoying her stall! Great! Ma'am was very pleased. The cockroach swarm delivered a few more candies to him (And a ticket) as they talked.
”If you see an angry bird, that's what you see!” Psy said, shrugging, ”Its a perfectly good explanation, don't you worry! Now why don't you tell me about birds, mm?” she said, putting on her best (and fairly genuine) 'interested face', ”Why do you say they don't like you?”
quite uneventful
Was that... no, it wasn't the tealblood boy from before. She was much older, even if she looked very similar. And had the same symbol. Hmmm... Psykgi wondered... She scribbled something next to Anguis's symbol as the girl looked at the inkblot.
”Oh, yes! I'm liking it very much! Yes indeed! Its so nice to see so many people in the city, don't you think?” Psykgi said. She didn't mind talking, and surely she was interesting enough, but this troll was much more interesting.
Very energetic was placed next to the new entry in her notebook.
She ran her fingers through the dyed portion of her hair. ”I'm thinking about growing it out a little longer.” she confided. A little – as in much longer. ”What about your hair?” she asked, giving Forera a copy of the inkblot, ”It's very well colored!”

Two hearts... kissing. Cute! Romantic? was put next to Pragma's name, along with a few other notes. ”Mm, sure.” she said. She couldn't see it herself – Oddly, it looked like a broken spade to her – with blood... or tears... coming out. A sadly ruined blackrom.
But all interpretations were valid... it was an inkblot after all. ”How do you know he's a Lusus and not a wild animal?” she asked, curiously, ”Does he live near you?”
Psykgi grinned. ”Oh, but you've met my Lusus!” she said, with mock surprise, picking up one of the cockroaches and showing them to Pragma. Having a swarm for a lusus was pretty rare, and pretty neat. ”They are all my lusus. Her name's Ma'am, by the way.” The one she held fluttered in greeting. ”She's a hivemind – how does that make you feel, by the way?” she asked. Ma'am got interesting reactions out of other trolls.
(New Inkblot!)
((Was yesterday a thing? That existed? Gods it was so hectic...))

"He does, he lives a bit up the mountain where I live at. And Omini, my Lusus, told me he was. And he's talked to me once or twice, he just doesn't have much to say, I guess." Grinning towards Psykgi, he thought back to the last time he had visited the cave the Lusus lurked in and tried to have a conversation. It had been raining outside that day and Pragma was just looking for shelter. That had actually been the most the Lusus had ever talked to him. The orangeblood wasn't sure why the creature didn't have a troll of his own, but perhaps he wasn't ready for one yet.
Bringing his attention back to the conversation at hand, Pragma's eyes widened as he took in the swarm of cockroaches littered around the booth. He'd noticed one or two of them before, but hadn't pay much attention to them beside noting their interesting coloring. Now everything made sense, they sort of matched Psykgi's colors. "Ohhhhhhh, that's so cool! Hi, ma'am. Can I touch her? She looks neat. And I guess that just makes me feel....surprised? I've never met a Lusus that had a, a hivemind? Or was so many."
Waiting for the trolls response, he took a look at the newest inkblot the troll had provided. "Hmm, I don't know what this one makes me think of....maybe of an image in the sand that had been scratched out with a stick? Like the troll didn't like what they drew or didn't want other trolls to see what it was?"
"Ahaha, Sure!" she held out one of the roaches, which chittered up at Pragma and wiggled her/its antennae at him. "She doesn't mind!"
Just surprised, huh? Psy had been hoping for something more, but, well, that was just how the candy crumbled. "Interesting!" she said, nodding sagely at Pragma's interpretation, "Have you ever done that? Undone something that you've done?"
Poe grins at the booth runner's pun. It related to wings and sheep! So it was like a double pun, which is the best kind.
He went to check the day's inkblot, and tilted his head. Hmmm.... "It kinda looks like a giant spider!" he said, turning back to Psykgi. "Have you ever seen one?"
((sorry for the little post, i'm not doin so great today. i might fill in more later!))
Stryke looked at the redblood with some amount of consideration, his serious expression didn't waver as he arched a brow at her. He did however thank her in a soft tone when she slipped him a bit of candy. That was not something he'd willingly or ever say no too.
Studying the color-coordinated copy inkblot his eyes flickered over the image, and actually seemed fairly pleased by it. He even delicately tucked it away in his bag to take home, considering hanging it on his walls for some decoration. His walls really did need more display anyway. "i think they are...an interesting concept. i'm not sure if most trolls believe in them, but you never know. trollsss can become all sorts of strange things, who's to say." He popped the mint in his mouth, crunching on it as he scrunched his nose up at the strong flavor but kept chewing away as he actually liked the stuff. "imagery wise they are very powerful in some novels, and to those who merit the idea." He noted cryptically, with a tiny hint of a smile. His gaze shifted to the next depiction. Hm. Maybe he was accidentally letting on a bit to much that happened to be on his psyche? For a brief moment he half wished he knew this troll well enough to trust her with some of his burdens...but the likely hood of that was slim to non existent as a whole. Even those close to him rarely were given the opportunity, he just didn't like sharing personal details about himself. He was a much better listener than anything really.
"thisss one..looks like a giant insect of some kind. like a creepingfanged beast perhaps..or even sometroll who's been bound by the web of one it's hard to say." Stryke inclinded his head to her. "i ssshould get going, before my dad ends up thinking one of your lusus back there look tastey." He added with a slightly sheepish note, and a small sigh.
Speaking of, SkinkDad was eyeing the various hiveminded lusii extremely thoughtfully as his son tugged at him, trying to detract him from doing anything unspeakable.
Sitting up from her place on the floor, the tealblood listened to the redblood speak and GRINNED. "The city looks SOOO cool! But like, I kinda miss how it looked like in the past, y'know? Before the big ol' glub back with the other queen." She listened to the other girl and wiggled her eyebrows, taking the teal inkblot before sizing her up. "WELL, I think short hair looks GREAAT on you, but like, I could see y'rockin a long haired do'!" She grinned happily at the others words and giggled. "Thank ya! I dye my hair m'self! It's like, so hard to get it right between the roots sometimes, but I've been doing it for AAGGESS so it's like, USED TO IT! Hahaha!"
Squinting at the new inkblot, Forera eyed it again before clapping her hands excitedly. "This one looks like a fused musclebeast with wings!! Socool!"
