Owen... was really getting tired of ducks. And candy. And the way they continued to glare at him. ... He'd come back again, though, because he was weak and couldn't stop trying.

Amasis Loren looked the booth up and down. He was... okay at these sorts of games. He knew they were primarily based on luck, because there wasn't really any way to predict which duck he needed, but he tended to have incredibly variable luck with them. Paying the fee to try it out, he looked it over again. His hand reached out towards one, but he pulled his hand back before actually choosing it. He did this one, two more times, each time pulling his hand back before he actually chose a duck. He could tell the people running the booth were getting impatient, however. There were other people wanting to try the game, too, so he supposed he couldn't really blame them. So he needed to hurry up, grab a duck, and go away. The next duck that Loren reached for, he actually chose and picked up. He held his breath a little a he turned it over. Somehow, he was colossally unsurprised to see that the duck was a dud. Well, he guessed it was time to get back in line and try again... Oh, right, he did get a piece of candy, though. (195)
Amasis As he came back through the line, Loren tried to discreetly observe which ducks seemed to be most likely to be prize ducks. However, there was really no rhyme or reason to it that he could see, so he gave up on that pretty quickly. He had been hoping to avoid having to rely on good old-fashioned luck, but it looked like that was where he was going to have to stay. Maybe he'd get the lucky duck this time. ...Ha. Clustering around the bucket with the rest of the people wanting a duck, Loren waited for an opening. He was tempted to try predicting again, but he knew there was no real sense to doing that. So, picking one at random, he snagged it out of the water and turned it over. Unfortunately, it wasn't any more of a "lucky duck" than the first one had been. Oh, well. Darn. Okay, that one didn't actually get him anything. With a slight shrug, he handed it back to the booth operator and glanced back towards the line. He could try again, he supposed. He didn't really have too much else waiting to take up his attention. (196) Alright, so this was the third time he was trying this, and he was determined to get a prize duck this time. Third time was the charm, right? Right. He squinted down at the ducks. Which one felt "right" to him? None of them. None of them felt "right". They were all functionally identical. What in the world was he doing? Reaching forward towards one that he was pretty sure wasn't one he'd already picked up before, Loren picked up a third duck. Unsurprisingly, it was also a dud duck. He could try a fourth time, he supposed, looking down at his wallet. He had enough for that, at any rate. Third time hadn't actually been the charm, but that didn't mean he couldn't try a fourth time. He would have to move on soon, though, if he wanted to keep enough pocket change for other parts of the event. (150)

Another small amount.
Well there really needed to be more looking into how much she could win, and another dollar was placed in the hand of the attendant before Jessie snapped up another duck. Daddy needed candy!

Stump_Fairy Stump_Fairy Stump_Fairy Stump_Fairy Stump_Fairy Stump_Fairy Evren stared at the ducks in the pool. Carefully watching until, "Hmp!" She quickly bent down and reached out pulling up a duck. As she turned it over... there was nothing. Ah well, maybe next time. Evren turned over another duck... once again it was not the duck she was looking for... this truly was a test of luck. Would Evren ever be able to pull one of the elusive ducks? For her next attempt at trying to find the duck she quickly reached in and fished around and pulled out a duck that she managed to get her hands on. She held her breath as she pulled up another duck. This time it had the smiley symbol that she was looking for. With a smile, she handed it over to the clerk at the duck station and was handed the brown dog stuffed animal. Smiling she hugged it and put it into her bag. The next time that Evren circled around to play the duck game she bent down and picked another duck. Of course, this duck that she selected was not another winner so she placed it down and went back to taking a short break from playing carnival games. After a round of carnie games, Evren returned to the duck station. Leaning down after paying the attendant she picked up another floating duck and on the bottom was the smile symbol that she had gotten the second time she picked up one of the ducks. With that, she was handed another stuffed animal this time the pink rabbit. Looking at the lines of prizes that were all over the fair she realized she only had one more large stuffed animal to win before she had them all. Smiling at the stuffed creature she walked away to take a quick break and enjoy the other sights at the fair. Of course, when Evren returned the duck she turned over wasn't a winning duck. Evren saw the probability of winning twice in a row as unlikely. Huffing she smiled as she shook her head and walked away to wait for her next turn. Another turn another duck. Of course, this duck was not a winning duck but it was a very nice duck. Evren had to giggle at her thought process a little as she put the duck back with all the others.

Owen was this close to giving up on the stupid ducks and their stupid, angry, blank eyes. They were mocking him, weren't they? WEREN'T THEY?!? Ugh. At least he was getting candy for the trouble.

Candyyyy~
Jessie hummed as she shelled out, circling the pond once more. Soon, Daddy would have plenty for his taste, and she could bring him the delicious sweetness to help ease his day.
It was bad enough he couldn't handle crowds today... Maybe candy might soften his mood.

Ducks?
Ducks sucked. Raina liked geese better. They were superior anyway. (Raina, also known as Sailor Anser of Geese, was in no way biased. Not at all.)
Still, though, she had played all the other games and couldn't let this stupid easy one just not be played. That was a travesty. So she handed over the appropriate money and stuck her hand in, looking to pull out the greatest of all of these ducks.
She failed, and blew a raspberry at it to show her disappointment.88
