This particular booth is large enough to fit three other booths inside it. Along the counter several tiny catapults have been anchored onto the countertop, aimed towards the back where moving targets wiggle back and forth. Off to one side is an Amityville professor in a red cloak. She appears to be making snowballs for some nefarious reason...

GAME RULES
Game Board #1 - Red's Old Homework (Snowmen)
Roll the specified dice. There will be different boards, and each board will have a different dice requirement. Make sure you're rolling the correct dice! Look at the results in sets. For instance, if I rolled 1, 5, 1, 1, 5, 4 then I would treat the results as (1,5); (1,1); and (5,4). Note your results and hang onto them. When boards are changed, results will be posted. Compare what you rolled to the results.
Remember: The first number is the row, the second number the column.
You will receive points based on what you hit. It is your responsibility to keep track of your total score! When prizes are available, exchange your total score for prizes. You will need to provide links to your rolls, so be sure to keep track of them somehow! The boards will be changed periodically, and once a board has been changed you cannot roll a previous board. Be sure to get your rolls in! When you roll, include the following in your post:
Professor Red looks like she's waiting for something... Care to ask her some questions while waiting?
Ask what a snowapult is.
The professor shrugs. "I found these while cleaning out my storage. Turns out I picked these up when I was in Christmastown when I was a student and squirreled them away. Christmastown is really, really serious about its snowball fights. I got to participate in a few myself." She grins, sighing happily at the memory. "Those were fun times. Snowapults are basically very, very large machines used to throw a large amount of snow. They can also be used by those who can't deal with snow."
Ask if you can have one.
"Nope. Sorry, but these are mine. Of course, chances are by the time the House Cup is over all of them will probably be broken..." The professor sighs, shaking her head. "Ah well. Some you win, some you lose I guess."
Ask if you can have one please.
"No."
Ask if you can have one pretty pretty please.
"No."
Ask if you may have one bloody hunted and torn to shreds under a bright moon.
"Maybe."
Ask why the board looks so shoddy.
Professor Red clutches her arm as if wounded. "I'll have you know, that was my homework for going on a field trip to Christmastown when I was a student." Pause. "Please snowapult as many snowballs as you can at it, I'm hoping that the amount of snow flung at it will make it blank so I can reuse it for something else. Plus it's still good for a laugh at least."
Tell her that you have the passcode.
Professor Red wears an exasperated look. "If you announce you have a passcode, then you're also announcing to everyone that you're up to no good. Oh, don't bother looking around -- everyone already knows that you know something that they don't, and they're trying to look disinterested while listening in. Nice try, but you're not who I'm waiting for."
Wait what? "What?"
Ask if playing at the booth counts as gym class so you don't have to go next time.
The professor gives you a leveled stare and doesn't answer.
Ask where the prizes are.
She shrugs. "No idea. Maybe they'll be in later. Hopefully."
Ask her a question/interact in a way that isn't listed.

"Let me show you how it's done," Professor Red declares as she hops over the side of the booth. "See these things on the counter? They're called snowapults. Christmastown uses them for some variations of snowball fights. You'll want to put a snowball here in the bucket -- yes it's a bucket, not a sling -- and then use this bit here to aim left-to-right. This other thing here alters the force which is your up-and-down aim, and when you're confident you push this lever here --"
FWOMP!
SPLAT!
BOMFH!
"Aaand that's how you hit the target! Got it?"

Snowapults? What sort of strange contraption was that? Kallan was immensely curious, and what better way to sate her curiosity than to test one of the things out. It was the best plan and she was sure to get a kick out of it! Now she just had to figure out what she was doing. After a bit of poking, she thought she had figured out just how to do it.
"Okay! I got this! Ya hear? I'm gon' hit this," she exclaimed, launching the little snowapult and letting it fly.

He hadn't ever thought much about his nephew's weirdo school or the weirdo stuff he heard went on there. Even if he had been curious, he'd been a little preoccupied with the whole fighting for his life and building a new one thing he'd been doing this past year. Things were better now—monetary things, body snatcher things, ghoulfriend things—and upon hearing that there was some sort of rah-rah school spirit event going on at Amityville, Tel had texted Fara and asked if she wanted to go down and embarrass the boil.
He'd forgotten that West had graduated.
"Here, here, look. Catapults." Tel grinned, eyes almost shining. "You like destruction, right?"
"No, that's you. You like destruction. I like hot chocolate and creatures made of snow who can talk."
He stuck out his bottom lip and tried to wibble, but looked rather ill instead. Fara chuckled anyway.
"One game."
He already had his hand on the snowapult's lever, and when she gave the okay, Tel let his first snowball fly without aiming, laughing when it slammed into the board. The second shot was a bit better planned but no less explosive, and the third was a thing of beauty, arcing elegantly through the air and striking with a dainty foosh. He took in the sight of the snowy carnage he had caused, not really expecting a prize, and when he'd had enough, he sighed and faced the other demon.
"All right. I'm good. Time for your sweaty drinks and snow gnomes."

Shiki took a break in setting up his own booth. He hadn't been around the school since.. okay it was over a year but he was finally going to be a student here! He had been enrolled and everything. He padded over to the weird booth with the catapult and peered at it curiously, sneaking in to take a turn.
Wagging his tails happily he bounded away from the booth having hit something he was sure of it. Just not sure what... or why..
The blonde was determined to do as many things as she could before she became a senior. Even if it was something she wouldn't want to do in the first place. The point to participation was for participation's sake, which was why even if Ruth might actually enjoy this particular activity she looked so grim and determined.

When she finally understood how to play, Magda delighted in placing snow into the buckets and shooting them off to slam into the board. She squealed and clapped with delight every time one of them squelched against the hard surface, and took note of where she'd managed to hit.
"Simple design, maximum entertainment value. Everyone loves a good squelch. I thank you for the enjoyment!" She called out, to no one in particular.

The game didn't seem hard, and she really didn't have anything else to do while she waited for the main event to begin. She didn't like all this coldness though, but was lucky enough that her body heat kept her from freezing.
After playing the game she smiled down at Devoss. "Not horrible, might have to try this game again later."

Sammy watched as students milled around the larger booth, she wandered in not a moment later her eyes going wide and flames narrowing down into smooth orbs.
"Whoa..."
Scooting closer Sammy listened in as Red explained how she got the snow launching devices. "They didn't have anything this cool when we went to visit our first year..." She reached for one of the devices taking aim at the board. Three snowballs whizzed through the air slamming onto the board with a satisfying squish causing the ghoul to grin.
"So umm... what are the chances of getting more of these possibly because this could be reaaaallly fun to have on campus when it snows again..."

Emptee had decided that the best way to get used to this silly surface world, was to actually get out and experience it. The only problem was, of course, the whole thing with the pumpkin sun. And the lack of water. Plus the abundance of oxygen. Then there was the itchy dry skin and, of course, the sun. It was important to mention that part twice.
Her solution to that problem was a black out umbrella. The material was so thick no amount of light got through it, which helped a little bit. between that and the goggled, perhaps this wasn't so bad. Finned feet plopped awkwardly and wetly on the ground as she walked, raising her knees a little too high with each step, only proving she was still fairly new to this.
The first booth she came across was buckets of white stuff over a grid, and after watching the Professor and the others with incredible fascination, she wanted to try it too. She patiently waited her turn, and once it was she juggled the umbrella awkwardly, holding the pole trapped between her shoulder and cheek.
It didn't really help her aim, apparently.
Em, for the most part, at least seemed pleased with her attempt.
