Fruits. Nimue could agree with that. Sure, they liked sweets a ton, but fruits were natures sweets, and they were right up Nimue's ally. They were happy to listen to Gadriel, nodding thoughtfully. Huh, they never would have thought.... Gently, they slipped a hand into their hoodie, rolling the ring around with one hand and eating the brownie delicately with another.
"What about you?" They asked quietly, almost in a whisper as they looked up, yellow peeking from under long hair. "What are you going to be?" Was that too forward? Rude? Oh no, what if Gadriel didn't know what they wanted to be?! What if that was a tough question, or, worse, upsetting? Oh, good job, Nimue! Upsetting people at Hunter's Jubilee! Way to go!

Oh there were just so many things the Fey wanted to snatch up then and there, but he had to be conservative! His dorm wasn't that big, and while he currently had sole occupation of the entire thing he didn't want to seem rude in case a prospective roommate came by one day, out of the blue, before he had a chance to tidy up. Though he already had so many familiars running around he sometimes wondered if he should just take the whole room. He didn't have to have a roommate, after all, though it would have been quite rude to refuse someone who needed a place to stay just cause he wanted extra space. Not that he would! He was a bit lonely sometimes, it would have been nice to have someone to chat with.

(Separate from her roleplay with Narra. Also forgot to roll, so rolled for this post in the post below.)
Topaz was still enjoying herself immensely. She'd had a few light chats with some of the other festival goers and people working at the booths. It was fascinating to see all sorts of different races come together and see how they mingled. Of course at the Academy there were a fair number of races present already, but now there were several adults around who'd been raised with their traditional racial values. She did note a bit of tension here or there, but it seemed like there was an unspoken truce going around for now. A cute little Chimera freshling had even run up to Topaz and presented her with an adorable plushie with a polite smile, thanking her for attending the festival. He must have been helping out some of the adults in passing out trinkets. She took the plushie with a broad smile and a thank you, and hoped the little guy got some time to enjoy the festival rather than working!
(First roll is for Jaden, second roll is for Topaz.) Jaden nodded, being very careful not to make any moves that might spook the fluffbug. Atre was incredibly friendly and thus far Jaden had never given him a reason to expel the very pungent liquid fluffbugs were known for. Even the usually overly friendly Cream hadn't bothered the fluffbug much, and Jaden was working to keep it that way. He'd never personally smelled fluffbug stink, but he'd heard enough descriptions that he knew he would really like to keep it that way.
"Do you think they'll be alright in the room with all the familiars," Jaden asked, wondering if they should even go back down to the festival tonight or not.
Will explain how he won this later
[quote"Nasaiki"]Would Solomon maybe like to meet Rowan and Alyssum if they aren't already interacting with someone else?
After a bit of wandering and observing, Freddy decided he'd been more than good to his luck and it was time for a game! He wouldn't do the same type of game though, that should be safe enough. Most of the games seemed to rely on throwing things though... Finally, after a lot more wandering, he found a game where you had to try to scoop toy skyfish out of a little pool. Alright, time to play! He went over to the booth and waiting for his turn, then was handed a net. Freddy scoped out the pond, trying to find what he thought was the best fish, then quickly scooped it out of the water. The booth attendant took the fish, looked at the bottom, then smiled and handed Freddy a plushie that was almost the same color as Freddy was! He took it, beaming in victory, then set out to look around some more.
Alyssum had finished her drink and was wondering what to do next. Maybe find some food? She wasn't super hungry just yet, but she could feel her tummy stirring around a bit and figured maybe it would be better to find food now instead of when her belly started protesting aloud.
A bit of wandering and observation later and Alyssum found herself in possession of a dumpling of some kind. She couldn't identify the meat and had been too shy to ask, but it was delicious and had been mixed with a variety of spices that she also wasn't able to recognize. After her win at the drink booth this was a bit disappointing, but no use getting upset. She couldn't remember every new flavor she'd come across, at least not yet.
Rowan was still exploring, debating if they should find a quiet spot to read their book or not. Unfortunately there weren't really any of those to be found; it was the entire reason they were out here in the festival in the first place instead of in their room. Oh well, there was always another time. They were wandering around, looking at the various booths and wondering what they should do, when a plushie flew out of nowhere and smacked them in the back of the head. Rowan whirled around, glaring and looking for the culprit, but didn't see anyone who seemed likely. It wasn't like it hurt, but that was very rude! They picked up the plushie, muttering to themselves about lack of courtesy and flouting of common sense and safety.
Allumin shifted the backpack on his shoulders while easing Baron onto his shoulders so he didn't drop the jackalope while putting his newly won prize into the rather plump backpack now. "It looks like we are going home with a treasure trove." He shared with Baron. The jackalope blinked it's dark eyes, then set his chin on his paws. Allumin chuckled softly as he shuffled the plushie into the bag. Once it was safely tucked away he resumed his wandering of the festival. Allumin found himself wandering up to another game. This one seemed a bit harder then the other ones he'd played so far, but when he saw a series of rings he decided he needed to at least to try playing. Allumin paid the boothman for a pair of rings. "Wish me luck Baron?" He asked his jackalope, who merely opened a single eye. Allumin tossed the rings, and completely missed the wooden pegs on the tilted board. Allumin frowned and paid for another pair. He repeated his failure seven more times before he finally managed to land both rings on a pair of pegs. With relief he claimed a silver ring, then stared at it while feeling foolish. "I don't even have anyone to give this too, and I wasted so much money on it." He lamented softly.
Liatris waited in line for a little while until it was his turn at the ring toss. It had brightly colored rings, and he could see the plushies just waiting to be won. He had his eye on another of the sealpups, but when he tossed the rings, he only landed one out of three.
It still won him a prize, just not one of the bigger ones. He looked over everything, from the necklaces and arrows, to the smaller plushes. "That one please," Liatris said politely, pointing at a white fluffbug. The Elf smiled at him, and handed it over. "Thanks!"

Aellys sighed in relief when Bryony was no more than a few feet away, and had found himself a familiar. "Please don't run off like that again, Bryony," he said and picked him up to hold him against his hip. His heart was still racing almost painfully. Aellys hadn't counted on feeling this way the moment he'd lost sight of his son. "It's a very cute jackalope, though." He tried a smile and began to relax when Bryony beamed back at him. "It's funny that it looks like the plush I picked out. Want to take your turn now?" he asked.
Bryony nodded happily at his father's question, completely oblivious to the distress he had caused. He wriggled to get down from his father's arms, running over to the game he'd left to find the jackalope. Standing up on his tiptoes, Bryony looked at the hearts and picked out near the outside. "This one!" he said happily and pulled it from the water. He didn't win a plush toy, but he did get his pick from a table of trinkets. He picked over it carefully until he saw a silver and blue locket. "Dad, can we put a picutre of us in it?" he asked excitedly as he pulled it over his head.

Tamandani smiled as the girls seemed to be having a good time. "Alright girl. What next? Maylis, why don't you pick a game next?" She was trying to encourage the shy little imp to break out of her shell a little more. Not that it was a bad thing to be shy, but she couldn't stay this way her whole life... She smiled, deciding to think about such things later. Maylis picked a new game for them to play and the girls again wanted her to go first. She did, and won herself a familiar this time. She chuckled softly and took the jackalope happily. "You'll have plenty of friends at home."
Crux smiled happily as Tamandani won a familiar. She giggled a bit since it was an obvious choice for her adoptive mother to choose a jackalope. She had two more at home and Crux was fairly certain that they were her favorite type of familiar. Crux then took her turn on the game and grinned when she won a plushie. She pointed at what she wanted and giggled when the vendor handed her a plushie that looked just like the flitterat she had won in the last game. When she held it up to her new friend, she giggled again when he seemed almost offended.

Maylis giggled at Tamandani's and Crux's choices. It was her turned to play the game she had chosen and beamed up at her family when she, too, won a familiar. She took her time choosing, though. She wanted something that would fit in with the rest of their family, and the familiars they had at home. In the end she chose a purple and white splotched vespercat and cuddled her against her chest. The young imp was so happy to have her family finally, she didn't ever want anything to separate them. She couldn't remember every being this happy before.
Raleka smiled sheepishly as Morginn responded to her suggestion so positively. She swept up her plushies in her arms - had she even picked that one up, or had it been added without her noticing? - and the group began to migrate in the general direction of the games. The selections of games were akin to to that of any carnival or festival. They were booths manned by students, who looked like they'd rather be running around and having fun themselves. Some were simple, like a bean bag or ring toss or a balloon pop, while others were more complicated. It was clear that the organizers of the event had dished out money for real carnival games, such as one of those games where you shoot water at a target, or knocking down weighted bottles with a ball. The booths were decked out in prize plushies, and advertisements for vouchers you could redeem a familiar for.
Raleka smiled as she moved in the direction of the first game she wanted to try - it was similar to a duck pond game, but instead they had flowers floating in the water.
