"It was better," Elliot agreed, "But I doubt that I'd manage that again if someone were to ask me to try." That, and who wanted a ton of titan plushies? But that being said...hm. Turning over the toy in his hands, the boy lifted his brows.
"This thing is pretty well made. I don't know if it captures the likeness of a titan since I've never actually seen one but..." Glancing up at Axel, he let out a quiet laugh, "My compliments to whoever sat there and made all of these. Was it you? Creepy or not, they're pretty impressive." Not something he'd want staring at him in his room at night...but impressive.
Looking back to Alec then, he shrugged his shoulders. "Sure, I'm up for a couple of rounds. And geez, that's...quite a lot of stamps you must have now, then." After all, he had just gotten yet another stamp card, "Honestly though, you don't have to treat me. I'll accompany you, but you might as well save one of your freebies for yourself or a family member."
Food was scarce for some, after all, and Elliot just happened to be fortunate enough to be able to feed himself and live a relatively comfortable life. Casually taking aim and tossing one more dart, he let out a noise of surprise as it lodged itself in the titan's chest.
When he received a flower pot in turn, the boy could only let out a laugh of surprise. How fitting. "This will come in handy. We always have need of more flowerpots."
"Food luckily isn't too much an issue for our family..I had planned on bringing home my little sister her own anyway." He smiled at the other boy. "If your sure, first one to get a head shot wins?" Alec was just like that, he'd share so long as himself and his family weren't without. Elliot had agreed to go with him at least, which earned the pink haired boy a smile from the red head. "Yeah..I wasn't kidding I've had some time to play several games." He looked over at Elliot laughing a bit shyly.
Looking at Axel he felt his brow furrow. "Yes how did you get them so life like? Is that what they actually look like?" Alec questioned glancing at the model, then to stuffed doll with a worried frown.
The other boys laughter caught Alec's attention as he got ready to toss a new dart. "I got..like 3 of those pots the other day. Ashley stole one and I still don't know what to do with the other two." He admitted with a laugh of his own. With that said he gave his next dart a toss. Belly shot, his shot had been a bit off. A flower with ants on it...how swell. "Guess this'll need a home now."
Axel was pleased that people seemed to like his sister's Titan dolls (although he personally found them terribly creepy). "My sister made them. I can't pick up a needle without stabbing myself." As for what Titans actually looked like, thankfully, he had no idea. "I don't know what they look like. I think she just gave them a lot of teeth and hoped for the best." A lot of teeth and creepy little shiny eyes. Ugh.
The flowerpots also seemed to be going over well, which was nice. A little garden and farm shop had hired him to haul bags of dirt around a few weeks back and paid him entirely in flower pots. He didn't know what to do with them but hadn't had the heart to throw them away.
"I saw your flower stand. It was very nice," Axel said, nodding to Elliott. "Very nice flowers. For people who like flowers, I mean. Um. Very nice, anyways."
Sorry for my lateness! Been busy the last couple of days! ;;

"First to a headshot sounds fine with me, and here--you might as well use this pot as a home for your poor flower." The corners of his lips curved upwards in amusement as he pushed the flower pot over to Alec before picking up yet another dart.
Angling himself and taking aim at the titan, Elliot's gaze flickered over towards Axel for a moment, giving the slightly inclination of his head. "Your sister has quite the talent then," He offered politely, knowing full well that his own sewing skills--beyond practical fix-its--was really just subpar--"And, er...thank you. I think. Yes. I mean, it's really my mother's business, but..."
Trailing off, he finally turned his attention back onto the task at hand. Letting the dart go, another laugh was startled out of him when he realized where it had lodged itself in. "Ouch." Good thing titans didn't actually have anything in the crotch area, but still--ow[/i.]
When he offered him the pot he laughed a bit. "Yes, I think that's a good home for it." Gently setting the flower in its new pot he set it aside so they wouldn't knock it over. "The store front could use something to replace what my sister made off with." He thanked the other, grinning happily. "Head shot it is." Alec agreed rustling up his next dart.
"Axel, she did a really nice job." he looked over at the other boy, he'd met quiet a few people over the last few days. "But yea...i think that'll have to live in a drawer." He admitted with a bit of an uneasy chuckle.
He couldn't sew well, it was laughable what he was capable of doing, barely passable even for repairing something. When Elliot's hit landed he cringed just a bit. Oh man no thanks.
Lets see if he could make this quick.. Oh man. That was a pretty lousy shot. His laughter came when he watched his dart land helplessly in the titans foot. Shaking his head he eye'd the newest coupon. It was expired unlike the others he'd acquired. Maybe they were all expired? Axel hadn't answered his question so perhaps that was the case.

((Takes place on first Parade day, after the barge's crown broke down))
Lloren was walking down the streets, happy to have a moment to check out all of these awesome booths. After the parade disaster, she had changed out of her sweaty uniform, donning some grass-stained slacks (rolled up above the knees) and a plain grey blouse (with the sleeves rolled up above her elbows.) Her legs were tired as an old mule's but she wasn't about to let this time in a foreign town go to waste. Her break would end soon, but once it did, she'd have to go back to sitting in front of the inn anyways.
It always felt like she was stewing in a pot when in that uniform; the actual weather was nicer than she'd been thinking all along when on the job. Additionally, during the march, she couldn't wear a hat; with that over, she'd re-equipped the headgear and her face was once more shielded from the sun. It was refreshing and restored a little spring to her step.
Spotting the dummy from afar, Lloren approached a most peculiar booth. "Hey, you have prizes!" She stated happily, noting the boxes of stuff. And then Axel, whom she recognized. "You can't kill what's not alive," she joked in response, and grabbed a dart. She tossed it and it flew true, hitting the titan right on the neck where its weak spot would be. "Huh, I guess training really does pay off." She stated, shrugging her shoulder with a pleased expression.
Lillian wandered down the streets eying the different game booths. Maybe Alec was right. Maybe she -should- try some games. Meh. Games. She was too old for such things. Still, she admitted that she was bored. It was too loud to simply stop and read a book under a tree. It was too crowded as well. She sighed. She was stuck here like her father and Alec wanted. As anti social as she prided herself on being, there was no chance of her not having to interact with people like she had hoped.
She came across with a rather worn out Titan dummy. Pin the Tail on the Titan. She remembered that game from when she was a kid. She watched as the person at the booth hit the dummy right on the next, first try. Something about that person looked familiar. "Excuse me .." She stated, making her way to the booth. Shrugging it off, she picked up a dart and took aim at the dummy, managing to barely hit the titan at all. "Feh.. I need to work on my aim." Frowning, she took a step back to look at her failure.
She eyed the girl next to her again as she was picking up her prize. Now she remembered where she had seen this girl before... The volunteer station.

Lloren picked up the plush titan, turning it in her hands a bit. She'd never really taken to humanlike dolls, and her brother was too old for them... The more she looked at it, the more she wondered how to pass it off to someone else. Yeesh, it's sorta freaking me out!
The sound of a dart whizzing past and a disappointed voice alerted her to someone's presence, and she turned to see another girl going up to the prizes to pick hers up. She recognized her from volunteering, but could only remember her as a fellow of many L's in her name. She looked fancy- the titan doll was probably not to her tastes either... but nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?
"Hey, practice makes perfect, why not try again?" she asked, and lifted the titan doll to draw attention to it. "And uh... by any chance, would you like this?" She said, pointing at it.
She picked up her expired coupon, and glared at it. What use was this to her? She turned to the other girl, eying the doll. Admittedly the doll was creepy. She watched Lloren with it. Lillian wasn't really scared of much, but that didn't mean there wasn't things that could weird her out, even if just a little.
"If you want honesty.. it would just go to my cat. If you don't mind it being beheaded, which admittedly.. it's a Titan, then sure. Otherwise I'm afraid it would not find a loving home with me..." She nodded, turning her attention back to the darts. Perhaps it wasn't true. Lillian had a knack for having the weirdest things on her bookcase. Maybe the doll would be spared a grusome fate.
"I suppose one more try couldn't.. hurt." She picked up a second dart and hurled it at it's destination.. hitting the crotch area of the doll. She stared. Annoyed.
"If it was anything else.. that would have won."
(After midnight, so might as well roll again)

Lloren's eyes sparkled at the mention of a cat. If she lived here, she would doubtlessly try to find out Lillian's area of residence to woo said cat whenever she passes through the neighborhood. Befriend all the cats. A fine modus operandi, if you ask her.
As expected, the girl had no interest in the titan doll. Lloren shrugged, still holding hers. She'll try to give it to someone else, then. "Understandable. -Hoh! That's one fine hit." She snickered at Lillian's crotch-shot. "I have no idea why it doesn't merit a prize. I'll try as well!" Instead of throwing normally, Lloren pinned the dart by the titan doll's hand, pulled back its arm as she lifted the doll across her shoulder and released the dart as if the doll had thrown it. For all of her effort to be silly, the dart did not fly true; it hit the titan's stomach.Tch! Lloren had been aiming for the crotch. At least she got a flower out of it. She could pretend to flirt and offer it to the other volunteer, but somehow got the sense it wouldn't be this particular lady's style to laugh at that.

Preacher rather liked the festival overall, despite certain.... events. Even though Shiganshina wasn't a 'rich' district, celebrations meant a lot of coin passing hands. Of course, that also meant a lot of that coin could be liberated if your hands were quick enough. Preacher's were. This booth though... it was sturdy enough, but didn't look like she could get anything good out of it. She round it, pausing at the counter. Prizes littered near the back wall and a weird titanesque doll was pinned up haphazardly. Darts. Idly, she drummed her fingers on the counter, wondering where the booth attendent was.
Speak of the devil. As if summoned by the tap tap of her fingers, a blond head poked out from the back, an easy smile plastered on his face. Preacher watched that smile fade even as her own smile turned to a disgruntled frown. Boo. Mr. Stick-n-tha-mud. Her fingers inched towards the darts on the counter.
She wondered if she could get away with throwing one at him.... Probably not. Damn.
Henrik took great aim with the dart he picked up, and leaning forward as far as he could without compromising the booth or his face, he let loose the dart. It sailed miserably towards the ground before snagging the titan's foot, clinging perilously to the fabric.
He'd hit it! Giving a rather masculine grunt, Henrik pumped his fist in the air before glancing at Axel expectantly. There was a prize to be had, and Henrik wanted it.
As he waited, he glanced over at Preacher.
"You throw a dart," he explained on the off-chance he wasn't sure what to do. "And win a prize."

At the words nearby, Preacher looked up.... And up. At a few inches taller than the infuriating Axel, Henrik veritably towered over her. She frowned and toyed with a dart. "I know how ta play, big guy. I jus' ain't sure iffin I want to." Her yellow eyes slid over to Axel. <******** it. Preacher grabbed a dart and blindly let fly. She was a 'customer', so it's not like Axel could turn her away... And the thought of sticking around just to aggravate him was growing more and more appealing. She glanced at the dart and smirked. The neck; perfect aim. Take that.
Henrik crossed his arms over his chest and gave the smaller fellow's dart a very critical look. Right in the neck. Letting out a sound that sounded suspiciously like a growl, Henrik pursed his lips before leaning down to grab another dart. He hefted it in his hand before rolling back his shoulders.
The projectile flew with amazing accuracy. It flew straight and true, and the point of the dart nestled in next to the smaller man's dart, Henrik couldn't help it.
He gave the little fellow the smuggest look in the world.
"Hey nice shot!" Alec called out as he watched Henrik land his next dart. Alec recognized the big man on site, even if it had been dark at the Bonfire. Stepping up to the dart booth, he also gave a nod to Preacher and Axel. They all kept running into one another, but it didn't bother the small red head. While he didn't care for how aggressive the pair sometimes were, he secretly believed in his heart they were friends. Even if it was a very strange, spiteful nature. Preacher however had surprised him by picking up his sister and even holding her. So Alec had it in him to over look the pairs odd behavior and enjoy the company.
"Hmm. Lets see. My turn~" his left hand closed around a dart, aiming giving the dart a quick toss leaning into the motion. He was back in his usual daily attire, his gloved hands letting loose the dart. His blue eyes watched with silent wonder....and then he cringed. Thankfully titans didn't have anything in the private department but it made the red head grunt in annoyance at his bad shot.
"Woopse..haha!" He looked shy rubbing the back of his neck.
