Once again, Malodore found itself at the crane game, which at least was neither ringing, screaming, or oozing blue slime. That was three counts in its favor. Some things were barely worth dealing with...
Alas, once again the mechanical claw gripped a rock and then lost it. The stone tumbled out and almost cracked over another one. Whoops.

gracie happily skipped over to the crane game from the balloon booth. she was hoping that maybe this time she'd have better luck with winner mojo on her still. She crossed her fingers and tilted her head down to close her eyes. her long purple bangs fell into her face, but for the moment, she didn't bother to move them out of her face. She gripped the crane game handle and flexed her palm a few times before moving it. Her closed eyes squinted with dismay as she peeked open an eye to see the crane had in fact not even managed to pick it up. what did someone have to do to win this machine? was there a secret?

Hard Rock
Mini SN: roxyroxanna
Sin was back and determined to prove that a crane wasn't going to mack a laughingstock of her! She crouched over the machines controls as if preparing to face off with a greater foe. Her fingers teste the controls for a second before she exhaled and started to move the crane where she wanted it. Her head tilted and she tried to get a look from as many angles as posible before waiting for the crane to stop swaying. She pressed a button watching it lower each claw curving around the rock of her choosing. Yes...yes...this was gonna be it! She leaned a bit closer her breath fogging up the glass before she leaned back watching as the crane slowly lifted the rock.
There it was a seed! YES! YES! She gave a giddy jump and clapped her hands before coughing and trying to regain some composure. She grinned as she heard the 'thunk' of her prize being dropped into the prize slot. Her fingers moved to scoop the see out and she smirked at the crane game. If you keep trying, you can accomplish anything. With that mental reminder she walked away proud of herself and a seed richer.

Having just poped a balloon from the ol' batty's booth Oppa was feeling pretty good about his chances at the crane game kiosk. It seemed like there were less prizes in the bin. There had probably been a bunch of winners since he last swung by.
He eyed the swag still left and slammed his fist down on the start button, "IT'S GO TIME!" he shouted as the timer and lights started up. At first the music coming from the machine annoyed him, but now he found himself tapping his foot to the tune as he aligned his catch. "THERE!" This time he would wait and not push the button to make the claw close, since the last time that spelled disaster.
He watched patiently as the timer ran out and the claw reached down into the pit. The claw closed lazily around the rocks! They came up completely empty handed, the claw just let all the goods slip through the cracks.
"AARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! STUPID MACHINE !@#$% YOUR SUPPOSED TO HOLD ONTO THE GOODS!" Oppa's face was smushed against the glass as he was pointing and yelling at the claw.

Having empty pockets was wearing more and more on Ulmuka as the festival went on. He stared down the crane machine as if he could intimidate into doing what he wanted. After a good stare down, he approached and tried his hand.
Apparently the fact that the machine was an inanimate object and immune to his stares didn't help his skill with it. DAMN!

A part of Mia thought, as she came up to the crane game and got into line, that she really should just give up and go home instead of doing this. The chances of getting anything was slim, but it was free another part of her argued. Free was good, and you can't lose if you have nothing to lose in the first place.
So when it came to her turn, she gave it a try, in hopes of a shiny seed would come her way.

It was the stupid crane game again. Van couldn't help himself, but losing to little metal contraptions was making his ego deflate steadily. Still... It was free, as always, and it wasn't as if he had a whole lot of seeds to spare. As in he was worse at these games than he'd care to admit.
So he tried his luck at the crane, crossing his eyes as he went: maybe this would lead to triumph.
That was a definite "no". All he did was give himself a headache and start to tip sideways. No rock was even slightly motivated to move.

Kazuka was pretty sure that even though he didn't always win, this game was one of his favorites at the festival. The reaper was back yet again and plotting out his next target to try for after having spent some time, and seeds, at other games. Once he was sure of his target and his planned path he gave it another try.
Once again he failed though as he had accidentally hit the button to drop the claw down to soon. He sighed and planned to return again soon.

Adyian wandered back up to the crane game and shook his fist at it. He wasn't too happy with it as all he wanted was to win at least once. So he walked back up to it and picked out which rock was going to be his target and pushed buttons to get the claw to go to his target.
Again he saw the claw pick up the rock and then drop it and he just huffed. He was going to be back, mark his word he was going to be back and win at least once.

Aksaja decided to next try again at the crane game. Sticking his tongue between his teeth in order to try and concentrate a bit better, the dragon boil carefully moved the crane around and aimed it at one of the rocks . . .
But the rock that he picked up had nothing under it. Damn, his luck just sucked today.

She'd failed once before but now, well she hoped she could do better. Holly went up to the machine and attempted it once more.
Epic fail. Once more she couldn't figure out the controls and wasted all her time.

With renewed confidence from that most wondrous balloon popping stand, Zen approached the Crane game once more. Actually, This One was in a rather good mood; ezen if they did lose, two seeds had been won today. Special prizes, here This One comes! With that positive mindset, Zen tackled the controls once again.
It was yet another failure, but Zen could deal. By this point, they had gotten used to it. This one must presently depart, clever machine; yet we shall have to meet again tomorrow for our little contest!

Walking up to the crane game (you foul beast you, just you wait, I'll beat you one of these days), Levia stared with renewed determination and mental challenges thrown its way. She reached out to the console and began the battle against gravity.

The crane game was like an old, familiar friend now, the controls comfortable in Malodore's claws... sadly, for all its experience the plague doctor hadn't yet mastered the game, and another rock stood firm. Ah well.

((HARD ROCK))Mo walked back to the tank her eyes glaring at it as if it had wronged her in some way. She took a deep breathe "you will give me a shiny" she pushed a finger against the glass. Sighing as she couldn't believe she was talking to a box all Mo could do was shaker her head at herself. She began wildly pushing buttons and moving the handle around she even closed her eyes. Mo opened them when she heard something drop. She squeed in joy picking up her shiny and bouncing off. ((SN: Trap))
