Valaon frowned in confusion, "So ya don't really sell yur apples? I dun give out freebies." She explained, looking to the redblood. "How do ya make any beetles if ya give all yur goods away?" She asked. She listened to what seemed to be an explanation then actually gave a small smile. "Ya, I suppose that's rewarding... just not 'nuff for me to be givin' my hardwork away." She replied.

When someone actually engaged Fellah with farm talk, the redblood couldn't help but ramble. "Oh yeah, been growin out on my farm for as long as I can remember. I try to grow a little bit of everything. Got the basics, my corn usually does real good, but I've been using greenhouses, creating my own wetlands, I love to find new crops to grow whenever I go traveling around. I try to sell my crops in the city but," Fellah rubbed his neck and blushed a bit, "well I usually wind up just giving away more than I wind up selling. Still it's more about working the land and seeing what new crops I can cultivate."

Since no one was able to snag that elusive golden delicious apple... So leon and I have decided to give one ticket away for rp and raffle two!

What's this?! Valaon must have slipped this in your pocket while you weren't looking!
"Well, I sell some. Just not as much as I probably could," he chuckled, "Beetles are useful and all, but I live so far out on the plains anyhow, I don't need too much of 'em. But maybe we could trade some of our seeds some time. It's always good to get a new strain of crop in the ground."
Next day -------------------
Heading back to the farm style game booth, Fellah was determined to try and get one of those apples tonight. "Howdy again," he greeted the trolls with a wave and smile, before thrusting his head into the barrel. With his first try, all the redblood managed to get was a mouthful of water. However, the second time around he managed to resurface with a golden apple in his mouth. "Well lookit that," he mumbled, teeth still sunk in the apple.
Caiden sleepily tried to grab an apple with his mouth and failed. Dumping his head in the cold water clearly woke up the boy and he was back to being his loud, awake self. "WOW! That REALLY did the trick! I dont feel tired AT ALL now! I should come here every morning, huh dad? Fastest ive ever woken up in a while! OKAY! But this time ima try harder, and get one of those apples!!!! Just you see dad!" Caiden came up with a bright apple and went away with a bobblehead.
"Xavier! I finally made it!" Out of breath from running, Nucleo squeezed over to the apples booth and grinned. He'd managed to slip away from his coffee stand and he was ready to bob for some more apples! Tucking his braids back, he leaned down to bite at an apple and succeeded! But on the second try...
SPLOOSH!
"Crappucino! Do either of you have a towel?" The greenblood laughed. He wasn't too embarrassed after the long day he'd had but did need to clean up before he went back to work!
"Oh! I don't think we've formally met! I'm Nucleo, a friend of Xavier's. What's your name?" Realizing he still didn't know the name of the cute girl standing next to his friend, the barista extended a hand to her.
The farmersmarket booth was a little shabby to interest her, but she was bored and needed something to pass the time. Bobbling for apples? Sure, whatever. Simple enough. Although it frustrated her that . Maybe a little bit of her blood would make it into the water. She grinned.
Putting her head in the water, she tried her best to snatch Malice growled. No. She needed to get one of those stupid apples, not because she wanted to, but to defend her honor. She didn't stick her whole head in water just to come back with nothing. Determination filling her, she went back in.
"Shriek tube. If you will." Slamming the gold apple with a shark-like bite around it, Malice held out her hand with expectancy, her mouth set in a very straight line. She had found the golden apple. The best one. Of course she did.

Ⅱ Autumn Vikare
Pleased with her success before, Autumn decided to return the following night, hauling Caterpal along with her. The grub would much rather spend another hour salivating in front of the bakery, much to Autumn's disgust. While she shared the sentiment, she knew better than to beg.
As she carried him, Caterpal conveyed a series of irate messages through a combination of blinking and squeaking. Autumn ignored him however.“Really Cat. You need to stop being such a wiggler,” she huffed in exasperation, after a particularly vulgar message. “After all, you're supposed to look after me.” That shut him up. Or at least cut down on the swearing. Caterpal let out a long, squeaking whine.
Depositing the lusus on the rim of the barrel, Autumn looked for a likely target. She decided on a small but deep red apple floating in the middle of the barrel. Taking a deep breath she braced herself. Then she went in for the plunge.
Her teeth nicked the top of the apple and she crunched down. To her surprise however, the apple slipped out from underneath and bobbed away. She chomped down on water. Autumn straightened, shaking the water from her face, while Caterpal let out giggle. She must not have come in from the right angle, she told herself. She patted her cheeks, giving herself an internal pep talk. Then she dove down once more.
To her dismay she found that she missed yet again.
As Caterpal collapsed with laughter (he was even blinking his tail, the little s**t), Autumn let out a huff. She snatched the apple with her bare hands, and strolled up to the booth counter. She had forgotten to pick up her prizes yesterday, and she might as well make something out of her visit. As she approached though, she noticed a little container off to the side. Her mood instantly brightened.
“Oh! You got caramel!” she exclaimed. She had given the suggestion, honestly not expecting anything to come of it, and certainly not anything this quickly. “Cat, come here! You'll like this.”
As the lusus fluttered over, Autumn addressed the two greenbloods at the booth. “I forgot to pick up a prize last night, and I was hoping I could do so tonight? If not, that's fine too.” She fluttered her eyelashes.
Etsali never had been able to turn down a game involving food, and she couldn't think of a single reason why Faithe would want to. She gave the kids running the booth one of her small smiles, and then turned to the game with amusement in advance. These were always pretty silly to try, but she felt confident that she could grab at least one apple, and that was enough for now, really.
She leaned down to make her first bite at one, but came up with a face full of water instead. Good thing she wasn't wearing her makeup anymore, she guessed. Her next attempt was way more successful, teeth sinking into an apple and pulling it free of the water. She dropped it into a hand as she stood and wiped her face with her sleeve, accepting the seeds she'd won as well.
Then, with a wave and a promise to be back sometime, she strolled back into the crowds, taking a full bite of her new snack.

Xavier smiled warmly at the trolls as they bounced around so excitedly. The yellowblood seemed super excited. It was great seeing so many trolls excited for Bloodfest, he couldn't help but feel a weird sense of community. "Oh you got it!" He called out clapping for her when she asked for his attention in his watching how she did. Even if it was from a mouthful, he got the general gist of her excitement based on her demeanor and enthusiasm. "I only have flowers up on my terrace..along with some herbs and a few other odds and ends nothing to elaborate." He explained. Xavier mostly hunted and lived off the land, the flowers were a nice touch as his lusus genuinely enjoyed them.
"Here you go." Xavier offered her the bobblehead as the other could claim their prize, and rightfully so as they'd performed well.

sorry for the timeline shenanigans

Xavier's expression brightened when he saw his friend from the coffee shop. Beaming at the powered greenblood, the jadeblood boy bounced up and down waving feverishly in greeting. "Hey there! Come on down, water is actually warm." He called out, chuckling all while smiling toothily. Looking to Valaon he smiled softly. "This is another troll I know. Valaon, this here is Nucleo." He explained quietly as he looked back as Nucleo went for his attempt with apples.
Anu peered at the lot. Reaching a clawed digit over she gently tapped Nucleo's shoulder in greeting before resuming minding her own business, all with a patient motherly smile on the virgin grubs face.
Shrugging sheepishly at the other boy as he splashed his face in the water, he chuckled as he requested a towel. Grabbing for one of many in a small pile beside the booth counter he walked over to the other. Pressing it into his hand to use. "Thanks for stopping by, I'm glad I got to catch up with you and Nee for a moment." Xavier added as he rocked on his boots heel just a bit.
"Hello Xavier~ And you as well!" Amonee beamed at his friend, once again dropping by the booth. He extended a hand to Valaon to greet her as well. "Wish me luck. I love these apples, they make a great dessert on nights like these." A hot jar of soup and a refreshingly sweet apple, what more could one ask for out of life?
The jadeblood pulled his hair back and took a breath. This wasn't going to be a repeat of yesterday. He would be just fine! Something shimmered in the water as he bent over to bob and he curiously went for it. It looked beautiful whatever it was and he briefly wondered if someone had accidentally dropped their jewelry into the water. But somehow it felt round and firm like an apple when he bit into it with his teeth. Pulling back, he dropped his prize into his hand and looked at it curiously.
"A golden... apple?" He blinked, it was so pretty! He'd never seen one quite this color, was it really okay to eat? Maybe he ought to hold onto it for decoration instead! Amonee was still in a bit of a confused daze as he took a step backwards and straightened up at the same time. His footing slipped and his legs flailed below him.
"Heeeeelllppp?!?" A frightened shriek escaped his lips as Amonee tried to regain his balance. Instead, he basically ran backwards without looking and crashed straight into another water barrel full of apples. The boy went down like a sack of potatoes and he began to cry at what a mess he had made. Ohhh Xavier and Valaon were going to hate him now!
"I'm so sorry! I'll clean it up myself!" He sniffled and got to work putting everything back together in its place. He was supposed to redeem a prize due to finding a golden apple but he felt a little bad doing so after his little accident. He looked over the shriektubes and selected one. Maybe he could learn a little music on it to play an apology song by tomorrow night!
Ophila waved enthusiastically to the greenblood she'd talked to yesterday. He liked flowers too! Oh gosh, what was his name? She couldn't remember if they'd introduced themselves! "My name is Ophila! she offered. "What's yours? Do you like honey candy?" She pulled a handful out of Buzzbud's bag. "Have some! I made them myself!"
She stepped up to the apple vat and immediately caught an apple. Ophila chewed and swallowed before talking this time. "Wow! Just like yesterday! This game is really fun! Can I have the other bobblehead, please?" Now she'd have a complete set!
In her excitement to play again, Ophila lost her balance and almost fell into the water! Luckily Buzzbud caught her before she could get any more soaked than she already was. That meant she didn't get another apple, but that was just fine! Now she had another apple seed! This booth was amazing!
