Wait, was Moteku competing?! Surely, she didn't want a kiss. Psykgi didn't particularly care if she won Eridia's lips through the guessing game or not (she had other ways), but Moteku?! If "livid" was something Psykgi could be, then Psykgi would be pretty close right now. It wasn't that she had a particular grudge against Moteku - far from it. Sure the blueblood had treated her sort of bleh-ly, because, well, if Psy held a grudge against every blueblood that pushed her around, she'd be black for every one of them - ha! The thought! Her bloodpusher would not be able to handle all of the black and grey roms and the drama!
No. Chiara and Eridia had something Psykgi would never have with Eridia, which fell juuuust barely short of something to be jealous of. It was not something that she needed from Eridia - she had a moirail, and would not trade him for anything or anyone.
But... if this was a competition... Of any sort, for any reason...
Then Psy would not lose.
Ignoring the plight of the other redblood (since she generally did not care about lowblood problems that weren't hers), she slammed her hands onto the table passionately, perhaps in mimicry of her FLARP character.
"There are 81 kisses in this jar..." she said, "Or there will be when I'm done with it." she added, smirking.
♠♥♦♣ I, Psykgi Mentha hereby agree to kiss and get kissed by my fellow members of society and to respect them! ♠♥♦♣
Number Guessed: 61 I want: a Rose... AND A FREAKING DATE YOU OBNOXIOUS PURPLEBLOOD <3<
Psykgi felt bolstered by the super chocolatey, super minty, cold beverage. Sure it made her shiver, but it was good. It was damn good.
Refreshed, rejuvenated, and blazing with icy-hot determination, Psykgi strode over to Eridia's booth and picked up the ping pong balls. Enough with the delicate games! If Moteku was getting herself involved, it was time to make a decisive move.
First, though, she needed Eridia's attention. Now.
It seemed, though, that that wasn't a problem:
One of her balls struck the poor redblood on the horn. The other landed her a very provocative picture of herself... how had Eridia gotten that?
And the other...
Personal attention from Eridia herself. Not that Psykgi was clingy, or attention-seeking. Not as a general rule, not in that sense.
But she did have Eridia's attention.
"Well, gosh." she said, "A photo? Of me?" she laughed, "Guess I'd better sign it for you, hmm?!" she felt giddy as she took out a pen and, with a flourish, wrote on the back. She winked and, seemingly unconcerned with her abysmal luck, slipped it into Eridia's hands... along with the spare cup of chocolate mint smoothie.
With a smug glance at Chiara, she walked off, a spring in her step.

Psykgi Mentha~~~~~
Troll name: Psykgi Mentha First Try: As soon as you managed to throw a ball inside a hole, an embarrassing picture of you pops out. It has a tiny note attached to it saying, Here's 50 POINTS and a picture for you. --Anonymous Second Try: Accidentally, you hit one of the booth helpers in the head yet it seems like you're entertaining the booth owner, who takes the ball and tosses it inside a hole for you. -45 POINTS Third Try: As you were about to throw in your ball, the booth owner points your back with a prank gun, causing you to miss. 65 POINTS Total Score: 70 points Tickets Earned: 2
Well that was...terse, or more like terrifyingly aggressive. Fellah looked pale, and mouth agape just kept making sounds with his mouth but couldn't manage anything more than one final, small, squeaky, "I-I'm so sorry..." He had to fix this, how could he fix this? What could he do? She actually wanted to kill him right now. Fellah couldn't come up with a way to fix it right then, so with welling tears of failure, he took off, tripping, falling, then taking off again. If nothing else it was pretty clear that he had no intentions of actually hitting Eridia with those balls.
Next Night ---------------------
Bloodfest was almost halfway through, and the nightly events were in full swing. Fellah had lost a lot of sleep during the day trying to think of how he could make it up to the quadrant day troll. He had still never even caught her name, but it wasn't hard to make the farm boy feel guilty. Taking a deep breath, and a few moments to convince his legs to move forward, Fellah timidly approached Eridia's booth again. "H-Howdy," he said, twiddling his thumbs. "I know I made ya real mad at me last night. I just wanted to say I'm sorry again, I really didn't mean to hit ya. I'd never wanna do that. Anyway, I hope maybe ya can forgive me, or at least not wanna kill me anymore..." the redblood, pulled a very snazzy pair of shades out of his front overall pocket. "I got these at the queens booth. I guess they're supposed to be real hard to win, or at least I don't think anyone won any yet. Anyway, I just wanted you to have them," he said, unable to make eye contact for the duration of his apology as he set the shades down in front of Eridia, "And just, uh, sorry again."
"I just wanna show ya that I don't give up either. Though, I'm gonna be a lot more careful from now on." Fellah took a few of the ping pong balls and CAREFULLY aimed for the biggest holes this time, trying to make sure he didn't cause any more problems. He made the first couple holes, though Eridia still must've been a little miffed to change one of his scores. "Y-yeah, guess that's fair," he said as she marked up his score with her lipstick.

Chiara laughed as she got another 6. Well, she might as well go up to Eridia and ask about it anyway, maybe she would finally get a spades or heart card. the blueblood didn't much care for clubs and she was here because of her diamonds. "Eridia! Is this booth rigged?! I keep getting these cards! Are you trying to tell me something?" Chiara said as she approached the purpleblood.
Troll name: Chiara Moteku First Try: -40 POINTS Second Try: A card pops out of a hole! Quote ImaginationsParadise! Third Try: -40 POINTS Total Score: -80 Tickets Earned: +3
Chiara frowned at the card. Another diamond. She didn't need one of these. She already had plans in action, irons in the fire, friendships in the making. The blueblood flipped the card between her fingers for a while, and spotted Psykgi. The blueblood crept up and slipped the card into the redblood's sweater pocket. The blueblood slipped a clubs card in there too, Chiara liked chaos, and clubs relationships seemed all about keeping the peace. Booooring.

Troll name: Elidae Bonbon First Try: You accidentally hit another player (THE ONE ABOVE YOU) with your ping pong ball! 60 POINTS Second Try: You accidentally hit the booth owner! 1000 POINTS Third Try: While you try to concentrate, the booth owner approaches you and gives you a small kiss on your cheek. Thus making you lose your focus and miss a hole. 80 POINTS Total Score: + 1140 GOOD JOB ELIDAE Tickets Earned: 1 ticket but at what cost
Eridia Tsifer was one of those highbloods Elidae had a difficult time being around. While she found the troll absolutely stunning, growing into the high stature she was hatched into, it was undetermined whether Elidae liked her or not. All experiences with her were... unsettling. Her opinion and comparison to both Leeroi and Kursha on the night of the royal gala almost had her questioning. Elidae still remembered the tears she shed, unable to contain her momentary disenchantment. Even after all the time she spent with Kursha, those thoughts still lingered in the back of her think pan. Eridia even attended her small white tuskbeast exchange during the holidays, though Elidae did not get the chance to say hello. Maybe it was out of fear. The purpleblood reigned much higher than her, and the negative feelings Elidae had risked breaching that need to respect highbloods. It upset her secretly, but the yellowblood easily flicked on her cheerful attitude and approached the quadrant-themed booth. Not without some anxious fiddling of course.
"Eridiaaa! Heey! Long time no see!" Smiling with a small wave, Elidae greeted the purpleblood pleasantly enough, though a little tense. Her nervous gaze quickly skimmed the booth, realizing a certain blueblood was in the vicinity. Oh, nice. Of course she would be here. Moving on, they then rested on the ping pong toss. "Ooh! This game looks like a lot of fun!" To be honest, it actually really did. For a moment, Elidae felt a little giddy, grabbing three balls and preparing to throw.
"Hopefully I'm luckyyy!" Her first toss seemed to completely miss, ricocheting off the wall in the back and... coming back forward at full force. Hitting Chiara Moteku. Gasping, Elidae quickly turned away with a bit of a sweat, grinning nervously at the holes. Actually, maybe that was a happy accident. She threw another with a trembling hand, but this one seemed to bounce off the edge of a hole pretty hard. Once again, another ball went flying. And unfortunately... hit Eridia.
"Oh gog!" This time she had to react. With widening eyes, Elidae stared helplessly at what she had done. "Ohhhhh, I am... so sorry! Soooo so sorry!!" She awkwardly held her stiff hands up, unsure how the purpleblood was going to respond. Swiftly, she threw her last ball, obviously didn't manage to make it into the hole again, then backed away. "I-I gotta... I gotta go!" She dashed out of sight.
Psy waltzed into Eridia's stall, the picture of calm... but in truth she was a little anxious. The idea of a date - of moving any relationship forward in this way - was a little bit stressful. She feigned calm, however, by tossing balls into holes.
Bam, bam, bam! All went without incident.
She glanced at Eridia, who was apparently distracted, and slipped her hands into her pockets to find... cards? Psy took them out and inspected them. A Diamonds and a spades? What were these there for?
Was she supposed to ask Eridia about these? Were they representing relationships? Although Psykgi did not doubt the power of Eridia's meddling, she sure as heck wasn't going to ask her for advice with Leeroi, and it was just wierd to ask someone you were black-courting about a clubs relationship. That was just plain... mixed messages awkward. No thanks.
She slipped the cards back into her pocket.

Slipping from the shadows of the nearby booths, a young green blood attempted to hide from view at Eridia's booth. With nervous eyes, it's unclear what's rattled him so but he is definitely trying to be sneaky. Realizing that he was spotted, Nucleo glanced at the booth's games and quickly stammered out a guess for the kissing jar without even looking at it. His guess was ridiculously low for the amount of kisses in the jar and he laughed awkwardly before bowing his head and continuing on his path in the shadows.
Heading back to the quadrant day booth, Fellah decided to try for the medium holes this time. He still wouldn't dare try for the smallest again just yet.
