BIG BAD WOLF'S WILD HAYRIDE  It's a familiar enough sight, even if you've never been on one before: close to the outskirts of the fairgrounds is a large jet-black tractor, hooked to a large wagon filled with bales of itchy, allergy-aggravating hay. If one approaches closer they would be able to make out an older figure leaning against the back of the wagon, arms crossed and regarding the world around him with a sly grin. He may be recognized by some Meadowview students as one of their teachers, but tonight he's sporting a leather jacket befitting of a biker gang, along with face paint, ears and a tail that transform him into a modern reimagining of the Big Bad Wolf from a number of popular fables. "You kids need a lift through the woods?" he'll offer, which seems pretty simple and straightforward enough. It's a Halloween hayride, you just have to sit on some uncomfortable dried grass for ten minutes and probably see some spectacles that may or may not be scary. Seems like a simple enough way to get another punch on your ticket. That is, until he hands you the paintball gun.

How To Play
"Here's the deal," the Wolf goes on to explain. "This road ain't the safest, and I don't got an extra pair of hands. So be a good sport and take down any bad guys that head our way." He jerks his head in the direction of the gravel road, which can be seen winding its way down towards and through a darkened patch of trees on the fairground's edge. There isn't a very good indication from here where the ride is supposed to end up, but by the looks of where the woods go along, there's an added bonus of being closer to the Ferris wheel and some food stands when it's all over.
"Your guns can fire up to six shots at a time. Don't forget to reload when you got a chance, there's extra ammo in the wagon." THE RUNDOWN: Groups of targets will show up occasionally during the ride. Roll one six-sided die to fire at targets, the number you get determines how many hits you landed. You can only do this ONCE per target group posted! Please keep track of your score! Have your current count in bold, at the top of your post. The top three scores win a hole punch. Everyone who participates gets a homemade caramel apple! You are free to keep RPing while waiting for the next targets to show up. You are also not obligated to do extensive RP if you just want to pop in the dice rolls! The ride can hold a maximum of eight passengers at a time, first-come first-serve. Sign-up by writing a post of your character boarding the wagon. CURRENT PASSENGERS:- ...

-Halloween certainly wasn't a new experience for the foreign exchange student. But a fall theme festival and some of the particular details were exciting and new. And so, instead of waiting around for her friends to show up like they'd planned ahead of time, Aitana found herself wandering, eyeing this and that with interest.
She shivered briefly as a fall breeze rustled her sleeves, pausing to look at a game booth with large fluffy animals before disreguarding it.
The familiar smell of hay and straw caught her attention amid the crisp smell of leaves and she looked for the source, spotting the dark tractor and the man behind it. Hayrides she'd been on.. more for functionality then fun, so it didn't really occur to her that it was a ride. She neared with intent to inspect the fairly badass costume of the man by the tractor, looking surprised, but not unpleased when she was offered a gun and explaination.
Hell yeah! This was most definately her kind of ride. Her heavily accented voice came out in a cool croon.- "This I can do"
-Lifting the gun to inspect it, lowering it to aim and pretend to shoot it, she finally hopped up onto the wagon to wait for the rest of the group she'd soon be teamed with.
There was some a** to be kicking and Aitana was totally excited about it!-

Hayrides were part of Ashton's more distant memories. Curious, he came closer to check. The Big Bad Wolf seemed somehow familiar; 6 months ago, Ashton was still a Meadowview student, after all. But he couldn't put a name on the painted face. 5 minutes after seeing him, he completely forgot about his existence again, anyway. Who cared? He was given the introduction to the best ride of the carnival yet. A paintball gun. He wasn't good at aiming last time he had checked, but seeing how that last time was 2 years ago, he took the chance, obviously.
Aitana was quickly joined by a large guy, dressed mostly casually, only with the addition of his own half-assed Halloween costume: bandages (or was it toilet paper?) stained with a red liquid that didn't look quite like blood at all. Most of it was around his head much like a bandana, as not to hinder his moves. He waved his hand, greeting her with a large smile. " 'sup! Wanna shoot crap too?"

-A moment's attention was given to the new arrival and the bandages wrapped around him more so out of curiousity then concern. She'd seen her share of blood in various sporting injuries however, and it was quickly obvious that it was not the rusty brown red of real blood, and so therefore must have been a costume.
Both the wolf and the boy were dressed up, perhaps she was supposed to have as well? The Brazilian teen looked momentarily thoughtful, before finally shrugging her shoulders at herself. Ah well. She had a costume for the masquerade, that'd have to be good enough.
His greeting was met with an equally large smile and an enthusiastic laugh, her gun coming to rest on her shoulder as she made more room for him.- "Ah yes. Bang. bang. DEAD."
"I wish we did not have to wait for more. I am excited to get going."
-He seemed pleasant enough, and she liked the tone in which he spoke, so she was happy to let him join in her plotting, asking cooly once the greetings had passed.- "Where do you think is best place to sit?" -She scanned the wagon pondering over the strategical benefits to being in the very front or back.-

Lily walked cautiously around the area looking for anyone she might possibly know and managing to find no one at the carnival. It did not help that everyone wore a custom, not that she hadn't, but she wasn't wearing a mask and her not really a custom was simple. For the carnival she was a fashion model, wearing an outfit her sister said was definitely runway enough.
Lily really had no idea where she was going so she just walked until she found what appeared to be one of her teachers from school standing with a hayride, which made her smile. She headed straight for the ride, but frowned deeply at being handed a paint gun.
Terror shot through her like a knife. She most certainly would not enjoy it if she ended up covered in paint. She would need a shower or two immediately.
Looking up she looked at the other's in the hayride noticing they looked rather calm about the whole ordeal, so Lily stealed her nerves and climbed right it.
"Hi," she said softly to both before, taking a seat beside the other girl.

Elzo was carrying his girlfriend like a sack of potatoes. Thankfully, the in his arms kind and not the over the shoulder kind. The hayride would be not only fun, but it was the perfect way to: A) Get closer to the ferris wheel B) Shoot something C) Make-out with his girlfriend in the dark
Elzo motives were very black and white on most days. Here, it was just more public. "Two please!" He placed Audrey into the hay, taking a gun and mock firing at invisible targets. "Don't worry, I got this covered." A wink and a kiss he took position far back, or was it the front? Less bounce in the front of the wagon. Or was it the back? He wasn't sure. But we was sure that he was going to totally shoot something and it was going to be awesome, (because he may have implied for every hit he made he got one kiss). Out of the corner of his eye he thought he was seeing someone familiar but he wasn't sure. "..." It was a girl. A small chill ran down his back. Hopefully not an ex. Then this hay ride would be a mass ride of awkward. So he just wiggled a bit next to Audrey. Girls didn't fight girls...
Often.

There had been a good deal of resistance when Elzo had picked up said girlfriend to carry like a sack of potatoes, until he had pointed out that she wouldn't have to walk in her thinly-heeled gangster boots across the pitted ground. That had won her over, though his hand was still most decidedly in a place it shouldn't be! It was a relief to note that absolutely no one Audrey Collins knew was on the hayride, though there was decidedly a fall chill in the air. A hand brushed across her backside and blue hair twisted as her body swung around to look at who might have done it.
Seeing no one but her poor boyfriend, an elbow went lightly into his vested side. "Do you even know how to shoot?" An eyebrow arched, the playful disdain of a master talking to a student written clearly on her face. Sure, this was more Victoria's area than her own, but she'd still spent time in ******** Kansas shooting cans off of the wall with bb guns. Looking around to assess the situation, there was a bit more eyebrow raising; it seemed the population of this hayride was mostly female.
Putting the loaded gun across her lap, Audrey crossed her legs and grinned. "It's okay if you don't. I'll protect you."

-The wagon was quickly filling, and Aitana made it a point to inspect each person that joined, both out of curiousity and assessment. The first girl was dressed frilly and delicate, her face showing some distaste to the gun that was offered her. Aitana huffed in mild frusteration at the thought of having such a weak link on her team, but offered a mild greeting back when the girl settled next to her. Perhaps looks decieved sometimes- "You have shot before?"
-She was waiting for an answer and the possibility of having to explain the specifics to the girl beside her when the ruckus of the couple drew her attention, drawing forth another mild frown. It wasn't the PDA that bothered her, really she could care less who touched who where and how. It was the absolute silliness and lack of seriousness. No place for that in a competition! This wagon had to do better than any of the rest.
They'd better be as good as they were going on about.-

Lily frowned lightly when the girl beside her asked if she had shot before. No, she hadn't not anything that looked like what she was holding and she hardly thought the games her sister played on the Wii counted. No she hadn't shot before, outside of the Wii and a few arcade game.
Lily shook her head, "No, I really hadn't thought the hayride would involve shooting, but there is a first time for everything." She tried to sound hopefully and less terrified, but she did not know it it it came across that way.
Lily turned at hearing new voiced and watched as Elzo climbed into the hayride carrying a girl. She couldn't help, but to frown, but then it seemed he did not recognize her. She wondered how that was even possible since they spent a good majority of the first Basterds meeting arguing. When she thought on it, she had to laugh now, the argument when it came right down to it had been stupid, so Lily easily shrugged the feelings of disdain around.
"Hello Elzo," she said before turning to the blue haired girl and greeting her with a soft hello as well.

-It was good enough for her, and after it seemed the other girl had made her greetings Aitana tapped her on the shoulder. Using her own gun as an example she gave what tips she could think of.-
"You balance between both hands."
"Is light, so there is not so much..." -She paused.. trying to find the english equivilant of the word she wanted, before finally simply showing a shake of her hands as if the gun had jumped back and recoiled.- "Do not be surprised."
"Ohhh. Keep both eyes open for aim." -She was listening right?-

Perry counted out and took the payment for the five passengers, handing out the paintball guns and giving a small demonstration for how to use them as he did so. "Okay, I don't think we got anyone else coming by this round, so we'll go ahead and get started. Each gun's got its own color of ammo, keep track of that so you can remember your score." With that he gave everyone a good-natured grin, and hopped into the driver's seat of the tractor. "And if anyone tries to shoot another passenger, you'll have to walk the rest of the way. Got it? Good." Soon the engine revved up to life and they were on their way at a relaxing, leisurely pace. Not too long afterwards a small bunch of jack-o-lanterns on the side of the road came into view: "Oh, check that out. Target practice!"

Aitana's points - 1
-Moving moving, they were finally moving!! Aitana's excitement was evident as she settled into her spot on the hay, scanning the horizon expectantly.
She'd seen the pumpkins from a distance as they'd approached, but hadn't realized they were targets until the wolf man spoke.
Gun aimed she pulled and shot, splattering one of the pumpkins with neon green paint.
Not a great hit, but a hit nonetheless.-

"...I know you but I don't know you." Was all Elzo could manage. Forgive him sweet Lily, but any one might tell you Elzo was terrible at paying attention during any sort of meeting. That and he spent most of that meeting being grumpy and being a general jerk to the senshi of Pride. Good times, good times. Still, that was in the past, and this was the present, the present being Elzo overly excited at the prospect of getting to shoot something. At the first sign of targets Elzo wiggled his way over to the side with the pumpkins. His gun was loaded. Setting it up, he made various pew pew pew noises. not even firing. "I totally got this!" He let his finger hold down the trigger. The colors of his light neon blue paintballs littered the face of one pumpkin. Slowly, Elzo faced Audrey. "That's six kisses."

4 for Lily
Lily nodded at Elzo before she was tapped and her attention returned to the green haired girl. She had an excellent memory and even having met once months ago, she wouldn't have forgotten.
She focused on the explanation given to her, grateful for a second chance to committ the instructions to memory. She frowned slighty at being told to keep her eyes open, hoping it was possible. "I will try," she said with a shaky smile.
Lily tensed slighty when the hayride started to move, but relaxed after a few moments. She even laughed lightly at their target practice, before taking a shaky aim and pulling the trigger.
She missed the first time, but was suuprised with hits on the second,third, fourth and sixth shots. "This is not so bad," she said with a small smile.
