These two booths sit in very close proximity to each other, but don't really seem to have any connection at all. Curious.

The booth on the left is manned by Kenner Baehl, wandering teacher extraordinaire. Every inch of it is draped in handcuffs of various colors, sizes and linings, each one firmly attached to a sleeping lizardy thing. The other cuff on each pair is empty. For now. The undead werehyena smiles at you as you pass, waving his arms over the spread like he's selling cars on a game show.
"Tis the season for recreational imprisonment!" he bellows. "And chasing your friends through the forest nak... hmph. Maybe not that last part, especially not around here." He pushes one of the pairs of handcuffs toward you with a finger. "Go on and run around the booth a couple of times instead. You might even win something for your trouble."
The unoccupied cuff doesn't hesitate. Before you even think about reaching for it, you feel a ring of cold metal (or fluffy fur, if you're so inclined) magically clamp around your wrist. The minipet on the other end blinks at you then perks up to some degree. It's racing time.

Too bad you got so close to the booth. You're now stuck with a handcuff and a derpy sidekick until you run Kenner's race. Luckily, there are always a few creeple in a similar predicament lingering around nearby for you to challenge.
Feel free to RP your character getting stuck with a magical handcuff/Beebs combination around the other booths as well, just don't take any home with you ICly unless you've won them.
Once you have participated in a race, the handcuff lets you go until you want to run again.
You can play this game twice every OOC day and may win multiple times!
How to Play!
Roll 4d10. Add up the first two dice. This is how far you and your Beebs got during the race. Add up the last two dice. This is how far your opponents got. If you and your Beebs got the farthest in the least amount of time, you win! Edit in your minisite username and you will receive a Scarentine's Point!* If you won the race, look at your first two dice again. The first number you rolled is how much you contributed to your win. The second is how much your Beebs did. If your number is higher than your Beebs's, it is so impressed with you that it follows you home! Congrats, you've won a Beebs** as well! In the event of an overall race tie, you win! You may not, however, win your Beebs with a tie.
* If there are still any left for the day. ** This is one pet with six alts and I cannot guarantee you will get any particular one.

Old Batty, having recently returned from a trip to a particularly bad human opera, wants to be entertained. He sits in his booth, nose buried in the most recent issue of Doppelganger's Quarterly, while his bats flutter around looking for boils and ghouls of every age to perform one of their hastily written, half finished plays. Even though the booth is festooned with hundreds of props and costumes you may use in your performances, the old ghost has no prizes here beyond a dusty bowl of decades-old chalky hearts and crumbling ribbons, but if you do a good job, perhaps one of his bats will find a way to reward you.
Hopefully that reward will not be guano.

Batty's booth is just for fun, although you never know what might happen if you play along! His bats are eager enough to hand you your lines, but their scripts are a little fragmented. In order to get the skits to make any sort of sense, you will have to fill some things in.
You may perform as many skits as you like.
How to Play!
Choose one of the very short... plays below. (Yes, there is only one right now, but there are more coming very soon.) Fill out the word list before opening the story's spoiler tag. (No, I can't prevent you from looking at the script first, nor is there any penalty for doing so.) Open the spoiler tag and place your words in the numbered blanks. Perform the skit in this thread with a friend or two. They can be very ad-libbed, as long as the general feeling of the original script is there. This is all for fun, after all. Please quote Smerdle when you have completed the skit so Batty's bats can give you a round of applause!

Ragnorak felt the little cuff slam onto her wrist. Without much chance of escaping, she was soon dragged along unmercifully. Her body ached as she was tugged along. By the time she reached the finished line, she was battered and bruised--including her ego.
"Okay you little dino you. Let's try that again, now that I'm ready."
Moriko wasn't entirely sure what had just happened, but it seemed she was stuck running some sort of race. Well, if she was in one than she might as well try and win it. The Kitsune put her best effort forward but the other team beat her by just a nose.
Ragnorak latched the cuff on to her arm, this time ready to race. Her and the little dino took off running--akwardkly as he was tiny and she was...not.
Trying to hurry back to Cricket's booth, Millie found herself a little too close to the one with beebs in it.
"Waaaahhhh!" Millie wailed as the cuff clicked around her wrist. "What is this? Get it off!"
By the time Millie stopped fighting the handcuff enough to look at her surroundings, her opponent had already won. Dejectedly, she walked to the finish line. She looked at the beebs with a sour look on her face. "One more time?" she asked it.
This time Millie was off to a better start but the beebs she was attached to was faster than her. Lucky for her, her opponent tripped and Millie was able to cross the finish line before them- just barely.
