Balloon popping! Darts were something Loren liked, so he was fairly optimistic about this one. It didn't take anything for him to approach the booth, get his place in line, get his darts, and line up the shot. Now, he knew he wasn't even a hobbyist of them by any means, so he didn't really have high hopes, but wishful thinking was always nice, right? He squinted one eye shut, tongue sticking out a bit, then opened that eye and squinted the other one shut. Okay, well, he didn't really know which eye was dominant, or more correct. He was going to just have to average it, or something, between his eyes and hope for the best.
He was probably not going to hit anyone. He was pretty sure he was not that bad at darts, lack of actual meaningful practice aside. Taking a shot, he got close, but the dart still missed the balloon. His second dart was almost as close, both of them sliding by with little enough space that the balloon actually wobbled when the dart hit next to it. Unfortunately, that wasn't close enough to pop it. His third dart missed by a fairly wide margin, and he made a face. He had gotten so close! It wasn't even a question.
Loren was definitely getting back in line and trying again.
It wasn't even the stuffed animals at this point, but more a matter of pride.

Her luck, she was, must be really bad. She hadn't gotten a single balloon to pop. Yet, figuring she might never, EunKyung paid for more darts and taking aim, taking her time, she threw them at the balloons in the hopes of getting one to pop...maybe she'd have a touch of luck....thought she was doubting it right now.

"Watch this." Picking up three more darts Accalia aimed carefully and ended up popping 2 of the three! "So close!" She said.

Stump_Fairy Stump_Fairy Stump_Fairy Stump_Fairy Stump_Fairy Sticking out her tongue Evren took aim at the balloon letting one of the darts fly she managed to pop the first balloon. Picking up the second one she threw it and it missed the balloon that she was aiming at. Her third try, however, she hit another balloon. "Aw man... I was so close." The giant stuffed animals would just have to be a fleeting dream. She was handed one of the smaller stuffed animals she laughed well at least this little one was cute. Ah, she had an idea for another outfit. Maybe she would work on it when she got home. With a flick of her wrist for her first shot, she only nicked a ballon so it didn't pop, on the second flick she missed completely. But on her third flick, she managed to pop another balloon. Giving a huff that this she did worse this time around she accepted the prize that was given to her. Next time... maybe next timmmee. While she managed to pop balloons the last two times... this time she failed spectacularly. Two of them managed to bounce off the balloon instead of popping them and the other hit a place that was already a popped balloon. "So much for my luck." She sighed. Maybe she should take a break from this game for awhile. After taking the short break Evren came back to the balloon pop game for another three attempts at popping some balloons. Unfortunately, her throws were all off. Letting out a puff of breath she decided to mull over in her head on how to get back her luck from her earlier throws. Returning back to the balloon pop game. Evren gave her money to the clerk to once again attempt to throw three more darts. But once again as she threw each one they all missed their target. "I'm beginning to think I should probably cut my losses on this game." She had managed to win at a couple other games as she walked around the fair. She decided to take another break and mull over what she should do. Returning to the balloon pop game yet again Evren founder herself wondering why she kept coming back to torture herself. As she threw another three darts all missing their target she pondered if she should come back another time after this one. She decided she would continue to ponder this while she waited for her next turn.

In one minute, Maxine's darts would be popping more than balloons. (Not really, but the sentiment was there.)

Dart time! First toss, and it bounced off another balloon. So, she thought it worthwhile to hone in on that balloon and make it pop. Despite her best efforts, it seemed a no-go. Just had to move on...

Daniel wasn't giving up on these darties., Another dollar landed on the table as Daniel reached for three more darts, expression deterined. Even if he was basically helping to fund Awkward Gym Classes and Weird School Lunches, Daniel wasn't giving in. BROTHER NEEDED A PLUSHIE. NAO.

Owen decided that his luck was settling somewhere in the vicinity of 'spotty' today, given he'd managed to win a fish and a couple of plushies overall, but how flat it kept falling at any given moment. Like now, with not a single dart making a proper landing or popping anything. Or... maybe it wasn't his luck, but rather his aim?

(240) That being said, his pride wasn't going to actually help him hit the balloons with the darts, so he needed to be focused when he tried again. He was determined to get at least one stuffed animal from these booths, even if he didn't particularly care which one at this point. The point was that he got at least one of them. The dog was his favourite, but it really did not actually matter. As long as he got one, he would be pleased. Or so he told himself. Either way, Loren got back up to the dart board with the balloons. Another cluster of darts, and it seemed like he wasn't going to really enjoy much more success this time around than he had before. He certainly didn't pop any balloons with darts. He knew he wasn't exactly a natural with it, but this was a little ridiculous. He wasn't that bad. Well, okay, maybe he was, because he couldn't really argue with results, but still. It was a little frustrating, if only because he watched one of the darts bounce off of a balloon without actually popping it, and still another hit the target just next to the balloon. Another inch to the right, and he would have popped the stupid thing. As he got back in line to give it a third try, Loren squinted at it a little. He needed to start throwing a little to the right, he was pretty sure. He kept just barely missing it to the left... (257)

Nadia frowned, they were popping balloons but she wasn't. "Let's see if I can do it this time." Giving it a go she came up short once more.

How was it that she had such bad luck? She really didn't think it was possible...the odds should be in her favor at this point - right? Yet she still hadn't gotten a single balloon to burst. When she got home she would have to look into this, this game, and see just how it was rigged and how to win...she really needed to. It was a matter of learning and pride, at this point, and it would do her well the next time - right? Maybe she'd try again at the next fair?
Paying some more she took more darts and taking careful aim she threw them again, and she really was trying not to be vicious with them. She was getting a bit frustrated at this point...but who wouldn't?

A present for Thomas! Daniel did a little dance, selecting the nicest looking bird there, before humming. Well, maybe he could pop another balloon? Normally he'd get his baby sister a stuffy, but....
But Daniel couldn't see her, and he felt his heart sink as her held up a dart slowly. He'd never...
And Daniel flung his darts with a saddened heart, trying not to cry.

Kelly smiled warmly at Nadia. "I'm sure with a few more throws you'll hit at least one!" He offered to her hoping to cheer her up a little.
Throwing the darts again he ended up popping one balloon.
