The events of the day passed by really fast, as the sky glowed orange indicating the end of all the fun, Kyou was nowhere to be seen! At least not until the lab doors opened loudly with a noisy clang, which sounded like metal hitting on glass doors. Out came Kyou, holding several trays of giant heart shaped cookies with him. The cookies were as huge as one's hand palm while wide spreaded and there were so many that Kyou couldn't fit them all into one single tray. This is all due to Kyou's inexperience with baking and made the cookie too huge. The stacked trays reached Kyou's chin and it was hard for him to navigate around, but with much care Kyou managed to reach the refreshment booths and settled the trays down.
Everyone that came to the event, we sincerely thank you all very very much! Please take a cookie as a souvenir, although I'm a little doubtful about consuming it since it's a new 'experiment' from Kyou as well (Kyou never really baked before, but he followed a recipe I assure you!!)
The cookie is so huge that you may need to break it in half to eat it. But maybe there could be a little surprise inside! It does looked like it could hold some fruit jams or fillings inside the cookie...(( You don't need to IC-ly respond to the cookie taking, you could just do it in brackets with simple actions and maybe break it if you wish XD;; But if you choose to do it IC-ly, I'm not going to stop ya ;D ))

Rivener had watched Roux leave, and smiled at his back. He floated away to his own guardian then, finding him easily enough, standing at the same place as before, still talking to that babbling child and its snippy older sister or whatever she was. Sneering, Riv floated forward.
Aphismet smiled uneasily at the child. "Sorry, kid. Maybe next time... And you should really go to bed, everyone is going to be leaving soon and it won't be much fun anymore."
Aph caught sight of Riv out of the corner of his eye, and turned to face his charge. "Ah, there you are! Ready to go home?" he asked.
"Yes," Rivener replied, not even sparing the other two a glance.
"Okay, we'll leave in a moment. This is Tyson, and Lillian; they're my friends now. We're going to go play in the park with them next weekend," Aph announced happily, although his eyes held a secret message that he knew Riv could read: be nice.
Rivener, feeling magnanimous after his wonderful time spent in the Tunnel, simply sighed and offered the two his Winning Smile #3. "Pleased to meet you; I'm Rivener. I'm looking forward to next weekend, then!" Riv's words exhuded sincerity. He could win an oscar. He had learned from the best actors, after all.

Lillian smiled sweetly at Rivener,"It's so nice to meet you. I'm excited too for the park trip. We'll all have so much fun together." Her hands fell to Tyson's shoulders making him let her go. 'Haha buddy I can put up a front too. I'm going to pelt you so hard with snowballs you won't know what hit ya...' Lillian thought, growing excited for that day. She could finally give that Raevan a piece of her mind!
"Hiya Super...wait! I mean Ri-Riv-Riven-er! You're going to love building snowmen, throwing snowballs, and sledding!" Tyson told him with his smile still on his face. Being so young, he was unable to tell Rivener really didn't like them.
"Well, it was wonderful meeting you Aphismet. You too Rivener...We'll see you at the park then!" Lillian smiled at Aphismet and shot a glare at Rivener. She kept it quick and simple though while she whirled Tyson around and began leading him off. Lillian waved to the two as she nudged her brother to go forwards towards the exit of the carnival.
The boy looked back and waved to the two, "Buh Bye Aphi! Bye bye Riv-Rive-Riven! See you at the park!" He called back to the two before whining to his sister,"Lil...stop pushing! I'm awake enough to walk!" Came his cry as his sister led him out. She had to get home quickly to be ready to answer the phone if Aphi thought of calling. She couldn't let him hear her acting so childish!

Zeph who had stopped rolling and observed the rest of the time, heard the announcement and bit is lip. He hadn't gotten his questions answered this time... but he hoped for another "event" of sorts, and soon, hopefully, his questions about Lab 305, might be answered. Glancing around once more, he smiled and nodded a "hello" at the tall guy next to him. His cheeks slightly flushed in embarrassment when he realized that it was the same guy who had looked so disgruntled before.
He set off at a swift walk back to the refreshment booth, where the scientist-or-assistant man had come out with cookies. He picked one up; his other cookies and lemonade had been scarfed not too long after the first one, and the hunger had come back. "Hmm.. they're big... but they look good." He commented before breaking one in half.

"Thank ya..." He took the number very appreciatively. Well, hey! Maybe he wasn't so bad at this! He sounded like a two year old asking for a sweet, but in the end he got what he waaanted!
We`rika's smile faltered as the young woman offered her hand, but his confusion melted and was replaced with another grin. He cupped Chloe's hand with his large palms, pulling her closer to him. His lips found her hand and the Huichol blew a soft, warm breath across her cold skin. It ended with a kiss against he small fingers and a toothy smile. "Same..." If it wasn't for his ******** curfew (What bullshit, really! He was an adult!), the man would have stayed in that spot all night. Oh well... "Seeyah..." He said hopefully.
Turning away, he noticed Roux and his ice queen stare and gladly fired back like any immature child. Pulling down his scarf, We`rika stuck his long pierced tongue out at the icy Frei before walking towards the exit. Tsh, b***h!

Aphismet smiled and waved at the two leaving youths, oblivious of course to the girl's glare to Rivener. He then turned and nodded to Riv. "Well, let's go then... Ohh, cookies! Let's grab a few on the way out, okay?"
Aphismet led the way, crossing the Refreshments area and offering Chloe a shy wave, blushing, before hurrying to the cookies. He grabbed one, handed another to Rivener, and they both snapped them open to eat as they left the fairgrounds.
Aph had no doubt Isi and Eiry would be okay to find their way home when they were ready.

"W-Wait Lilli! Cookies!" Tyson told his sister as his eyes laid on the batch as they exited. He quickly escaped her grasp to waddle over, grab two cookies, and waddle back to where she stood.
"Umm...why don't we split one right now...if you eat a whole one you'll be up all night." Lillian told her little brother as she stared at the size of the cookies. She reached over as they begun walking out of the carnival once more and took the two cookies. Spilting one in half and handing it to Tyson, "Here ya go. Don't eat it too fast! I don't want you to have any tummy aches." Lillian warned walking down the street with him, glad that today was a pretty good day for them both.

One wonders where in the world Kyou found all these quotes.

Crack! Out falls a piece of paper for Rivener.
It reads :

Oh how sad that Rivener can't leave footprints. Maybe he could leave something else instead?

Roux was completely taken aback... he'd did he just..?! The air around him spiked to incredible, almost dangerous lows. That... He would get him later!
He had a good, hard look at his face.. Roux would remember it for later discipline.
Chloe stood flushed, he seemed like such a gentleman! She looked down at her hand before letting it drop beside her, turning as she heard movement behind her, spotting the tray of cookies Dr. Kyou had left.
She smiled, greatful for the warm (and not piping hot!) treat, picking up one of the sweet confections and breaking it in two, nibbling on one of the halves.
She blushed as she noticed Aphismet pasing by, giving him a small wave in return.

Cruzle
Ravi sighed. Another miss. There had to be some way he could increase his chances at the game... after all, he was a magician! Fledgling, yes, but he was always a quick learner and and adept in every area he'd approached. According to the books he read, magic was best described at "probability enhancement," so couldn't it help in the case of a dice roll?
Cupping the dice in his hands, he forced some energy into his palms and focused, his eyelids half-shut, eyes staring forward blankly. In his mind he focused on all of the different winning rolls, visualizing the hundred-sided dice showing just the numbers he needed. There were a lot of different combinations to focus on, but Ravi wasn't poor at mathematics. He didn't focus on every number combination - just the ones that felt right, that felt more possible than the rest. He inhaled slowly, blinked, then threw the dice once more. This should work... right?
It was probably a bad dream for Ravi. His uh... friend was back. "Wha'cha been doin' over all alo-- whoa..." We`rika had to stop as free cookies were being offered! He still had almost a whole yam left, but... whatever. He was a pig, he didn't care. He picked one out tediously and decided to grab Ravi one as well. "Here... " He dangled the cookie by Ravi to take.

Ravi groaned. He was still a magic newb, after all. Though he'd put a lot of focus and intention into his roll, apparently his energy hadn't been enough to sway probability in his favor. Well, if the books were really telling the truth, it wouldn't be long before hi ssuccess rate was much, much higher. He wasn't used to this "failing" thing, though! It was infuriating. Ravi huffed and turned about-face abruptly, ready now to make his way home.
Except home wasn't what met eyes with Ravi once he turned around. In fact, nothing had - Ravi was pretty tall, after all - but that hadn't kept a rough brush of pink hair from getting uncomfortably close to the scholar's face. "MMMMM," was the aggravated response Ravi gave to We`rika's calling him a ..."b***h." Ravi winced inside, wondering why he even bothered to spend time with someone as uncultured as the long-eared man was. Then he had to remind himself that this meeting wasn't by choice. The pink-haired guy had snuck up on him, damn it, and that was rude.
Before Ravi knew it, lost in his thoughts as he was, We`rika had offered the man a cookie. Wh-what?! Ravi was surprised at the gesture. First off, a cookie... where'd the man gotten it? And second, We`rika was offering someone something? He'd come off to Ravi as being... well, not much of a charity type.
Ravi struggled to think of a good reason to be angry. His mouth was a long, straight frown, struggling with its many choices. Speak? Stay quiet? Smile? Frown? Why did the shorter fellow leave Ravi so... unfettered? Ravi glared down at the shorter man without really "looking down" on him, trying to read We`rika's face. He had his faults. We`rika was faulted. But he was also friendly, in his own impatient, self-serving way. Not like Ravi was unused to selfishness, anyway. Getting ahead required such behavior.
Glare weakening, Ravi coughed slightly and accepted the cookie from Slann with grace. It was dry, but not so much that it was crumbling everywhere. In short, it looked delicious, but there seemed to be a slight hollowness to its middle...
It broke in half while Ravi was looking at it. Oh no! Half of it would be wasted now. And it was such a nice gift, too...
Remembering that the treat WAS a gift, Ravi looked back at We`rika and, frown now at least a neutral face, said, "Thank you."
