This time, when Streams of Silver watched, the shells were flipped a little more cleverly than last time, and the one she picked didn't have a token underneath it, nor a grub– merely a calcified, nasty pile of spider webbing and some sort of leaky goo. Not wanting to touch that with her mouth, she carefully moved to raise a hoof, scraping it away from the surface and kicking it away before she walked off, trying to wait a respectful distance before she moved to scrape the leavings off her hoof.
Can You and Negative closed their booth briefly, and shuffled the shells about madly. When they were done, all of the prizes were different - the same prizes, but in different locations! Technically, this didn't really change anything, but Can You was determined to shuffle things around at least once. It wasn't a shell game, she said, if the shells didn't get moved around a little. Negative didn't really understand what she meant by that, but shrugged and followed her lead.

"Sure," shrugged Westward Bound, and he pulled a leaf over to push the guts, uh, elsewhere. Can You wasn't a member of Westfen, but right now he was the acha's guest, so. He just wouldn't stick around for everyone else's messes.
Kept took in Negative's words like he certainly wanted to hear more.
"You have to...give them away after, though, right?" he asked, frowning. That was much less appealing. He waited it out next to the booth, content even without an answer, and when it was closed he only ventured as far as the nearest one.
FLIPPIN HEY!
He was back the moment they were open for business again. It took him a while to drum up the courage to flip another shell, though.
Underneath was a good prize, though, so he was pleased with the choice. It was a little fox skull that'd been dyed with berries - definitely something to appreciate. He pushed it to the side, but realized quickly that there wasn't a token underneath to accompany it. That was more than fine. This was much more interesting! It probably had a history. An unimaginable one. Kept liked the idea. He nodded and smiled, weakly, at Negative, and finally walked off, prize clutched gingerly in his mouth.

Some time late in the day, Negative met up with Dew Drop Sun. "Oho, hey thyer missy," he said, grinning (possibly). "Hy won these-hyere stone thingers playin games on m' break - you can have 'em, I ain't got no use for the things." He dug two tokens out of the bit of mane between his shoulders.
"They'se hard to carry around, frankly," he added with a sniff. "If'n I has a good shake or somethin', they goes a flyin'."

FLIPPIN HEY!
Enjoying a day wandering the Winter Market, Dew Drop Sun's attention is caught by the energetic acha calling for participants to flip shells for promise of a surprise. Even more amusing is the dichotomy between this acha and her partner, the quiet one tending to a pile to the side of the shells. The blonde doe decides to approach the booth, "I'll give it a go." She looks the row of shells up and down before choosing one slightly off-center to the left...
She finds two tokens, and smiles, "Aah, there we are. Thank you!"
Can You caught up to Evolve late in the day. "Eyy, deesh er fur you," she slurred around something in her mouth, before spitting them out gently in a convenient snow drift - the something turned out to be two tokens. "These are for you," she repeated more coherently, "as a reward for your perseverance in visiting my booth every day - and for lightening up a little," she added with a wink. "You were takin' it pretty seriously for a while there!

FLIPPIN HEY!
Returning the next day, Evolve had a little smile on her face. She'd taken it pretty seriously to start with but was starting to enjoy herself a lot. Sooner or later she'd catch the trip of the game and land the big one but until she got it, she was intent on having fun.
As if to reward her good mood, there was a fresh fish beneath the shell. Keen for a snap, she picked it up by the tail and took off towards Best's egg cracking booth for a quick cook up.
Oh how she had mocked him! Better lines, oh, he would show that Acha better lines, draw them in the sand for her even! "Oh dearest...what is your name? Nevermind, I'm back just as I'd promised I would be!" Prancing past her to the shell game.
"I can tell you're not a fan of petty praise or prose..Which is a shame. Maybe you'd fancy a song instead?" Sings smirked eyeing the shells more carefully this time. He hadn't been able to smell anything normal for the whole rest of that day..This time he'd win something decent for sure!
"Maybe you'd like it to be personal? I could sing of your beautiful colors, your smile like knives. Your heart like black diamonds forged beneath the heat of your spirit!" Sings raised an eyebrow, hoping to entertain..and maybe charm this time. "Though it'd be easier to sing of you, if I got to know you better, hmm?"
Sings flipped a shell..and...got a single token! Thank the motherfather. He feared something far worse.

The tokens were covered in spit but it was a generous gift and Evolve's felt a warm rush of delight. "Thank you," she replied and then with a playful little smile. "Though I don't know what you mean. I haven't been serious at all."
Then she gave a small 'huff' of laughter. "I'll see you tomorrow."
(lmao, I just read the post you quoted and by golly the typos. /screams lol )

Dew Drop Sun was somewhat surprised to see the quiet buck from the booth again, but pleased, and offered a smile. She was even more surprised when the he offered her his tokens, "Oh! Why, thank you again!" She giggled at his comment, "I can see how they would fall easily if you gave a good shake, yes. I appreciate you offering them to me! I'll do my best to tuck them away somewhere safe." She chuckled and gave a nod, "Perhaps I'll see you again tomorrow at the booth~"
Kiss of Death was not really here today. She was thinking about her children fo r some strange reason. Were they alright? How are they holding on for this drop in temperature?
Not really calculating her moves, she just picked a random shell and flipped it over with the pointy bit of her hoof.
Ahh.. Two tokens.. Not bad at all. At least it was no boobyprize.
