At first, this booth seems completely empty, apart from several clearly-handmade decorations and a large, sloppy ... game map? posted up on the back wall. After a moment, however, two skinny arms pop up from behind the counter and you realize the booth isn't empty, it's just being manned by a young and rather short troll. A bright, cheerful face tilts up from behind the counter, and after a few seconds of shuffling around it springs up into higher visibility; he must have a stool back there, or something.
"Hi!" he chirps, exceptionally chipper. "You wanna play my board game? You can roll once a day to try and be the troll that travels the farthest around the world, and I got all sorts of prizes and stuff! C'mon, try it~!"
The little blueblood offers you a set of dice without much further explanation; he's much too excited to have you play the game than to actually tell you anything about it.
Instructions: 1. Roll your choice of 1d20 or 2d20. 2. If 1d20:
The amount you roll is how far you move on the game board. That's it! Write your response and get outta here, punk.
3. If 2d20:
The FIRST roll is how far you move on the game board. The SECOND roll is your event roll. This is what Kaldru tells you "happens along the way." Check the chart to see what event you got. Write your response and feel free to take whatever prize you may have won.
4. Wait and see if quiet quotes you for ticket wins!
Rules 1. Quote or paste your even roll above your response. 2. You must write something; there is no word requirement, but it has to be a complete sentence at least. 3. The only prizes I'll be quoting with are raffle tickets. Be honest with what you opt to pick from your rolled prize tiers! 4. You may play with each of your trolls once a day if you want, but only the first roll of the day is eligible to win a ticket. 5. You're more than welcome to give away ICly won prizes to other trolls or have a troll try to win one for someone else! 6. If you specifically want a response from Kaldru, quote me. Otherwise I'll assume you don't.
Quote:
Event Rolls! Your transport stalls, and your distance roll is 0 for today. The first troll to roll this per day gets an apologetic look from Kaldru and a ticket as an apology!
You find a shortcut, and your distance roll gets +2.
You stop for lunch; you lose -1 distance roll, but you may take a T3 prize.
You get attacked by robbers! You lose half your distance roll (rounded down, minimum 1).
You hear a rumor about rare minerals and decide to hurry up and investigate. Your distance roll gets +1, and you may take a T5 prize.
Nothing special happens, so you decorate your vehicle today. Take a T1 prize.
A good friend helps you bypass a congested street, adding +1 to your distance roll and letting you take a T2 prize.
Someone's stray lusus chases you quickly down a lone street, adding +2 to your distance roll.
You get distracted by a market, but get a great deal in record time; your distance roll is unchanged but you may take a T5 prize.
You get detained by some guards for something you didn't do and lose -1 to your distance roll. You do get to pick any T1 through T5 prize for your trouble, though.
Poor planning means you run out of food, so you and a friend spend a day gathering more, giving you -2 to your roll. The bonding experience allows you to take a T2 prize, though.
You wind up at Bloodfest and - wait, what? You get -3 to your roll for breaking time and space, but you may also take any two prizes you'd like from T1 through T5!
Finding a fresh batch of wild apples doesn't get you any special travel bonus, but it does get you a T3 prize.
You pause to trade your vehicle for a better one. You neither lose nor gain time overall, but you do get a choice of T1 prize!
You stop to investigate something shining at the mouth of a suspicious cave; you're chased away by a vicious wild barkbeast, causing you to lose -1 to your distance roll, but you did manage to scoop up a T4 prize first!
You get into a fight with some kind of rock eating beast, and you wind up losing -1 to your roll from the delay. However, you do find a T4 prize n the beast's belly!
Unfortunately, nothing interesting happens to you today.
You find an unmarked tunnel and decide to follow it, ending up speeding you along! Your distance roll gains +2 and you can take a T5 prize along the way.
Your transport is attacked by a giant burrowbeast, and ends up out of commission half the day. Your distance roll takes -2.
You find a small hitch hiker and pick him up; time flies with this little guy on board! Half of your original roll, rounded down is added to your distance roll (so 10 = 10 + 10/2 = 15), and you can take your pick of a T6 prize or any two other prizes!
Notes: my work and sleep schedule can be a bit off; i will update daily, but it probably won't be until after midnight, possibly mid-day. if it is after 11:59PM CST, you may go ahead and roll for the next day! i'll be going off the gaia timestamp as to what day rolls count for if i am late.
actual ticket wins will be based on the following: 1. the first person who rolls the ticket event will get one (rng'd from all if no one rolls it) 2. the person who rolls highest for the day will get one (or rng'd from all highest if tied) 3. one random participant from the day will get one

T1: Transport Shaped Imagination Stimulators Prizes
Hand-made toys looking vaguely like some kind of vehicle. Almost look like they're made out of beetle shells ...
T2: Decorated Wearable Leather Strips Prizes
Hand-made leather strips in various lengths, each with a polished stone charm in the shape of a diamond.
T3: Delicious and Nutritive Preserved Flesh Strips Prizes
Some kind of jerky in hand-made packaging. Looks like plain, peppered, tart, and frond-spice flavors are available.
T4: Tumbled and Polished Decorative Stones Prizes
Some tumble-polished stones. No gemstones here, but the rocks are very shiny and come in a variety of colors.
T5: Rock Encrusted Crystalline Mineral Prizes
Where did he ...? A variety of geodes, ranging from thumb tip to half-an-egg sized. Each is neatly cut and shined to make it look presentable.
T6: Specialized Personal Memorabilia Prizes
A plush embodiment of one of his lusus' drones, sans scales, as well as an adorable little bobblehead.
oooh you're nosy!! what are you doing at the back of the booth!
this is just where kaldru is stacking tickets until he knows if he turns them in one at a time or all together ...
Static Charge 12 spaces Finding a fresh batch of wild apples doesn't get you any special travel bonus, but it does get you a T3 prize.
Static looked at the other blueblood, and smiled shyly. "Uh, hi." Static said before picking up the dice and rolling. The boy smiled as he got above average. Today was going pretty well! Static picked out a blue game piece and placed it on the 12th space. "So, uh, why did you decide to make a, huh, a board game for your booth?"
ZEYLLA CRYPSI ROLLS 20, 3. MOVES 19 spots (-1 for event) + T3 prize (she's tots taking that frond-spice)
Zeylla would have probably walked passed Kaldru's booth if the other blueblood hadn't shown up, and Kal's own face had popped up from behind the counter. She slowed her step, eyeing his booth, before wandering over. She stepped up beside the little blueblood beside her, and heard the shyness in his voice clearly. She eyed Static for a moment, and then gave Kaldru a more familiar nod of the head, but kept her little smiles to herself. This was her young pupil, and she was trying to teach him to be tough! Smiling would only add to his already soft bloodpump.
As Static asked his question, she looked at Kaldru with interest. Yes, why had he chosen this for his booth? Had he done it all himself? It was a decently made board, but she wouldn't tell him that.
Soft pump biscuit and all.
"Did you do this all yourself?" she slipped in, adding to the questions for the little booth runner.
Distance: 8 Event: You find a shortcut, and your distance roll gets +2.
Polair was taking a small break from working. She deserved it as it was hard to decorate nowadays. Not that it has been particularly easy, no, it took extra time to make everything appealing. Upon hearing the word geode, the highblood approached Kaldru's booth and was willing to play his game no matter how enthusiastic he was. While she played, she found herself a shortcut which meant she could advance slightly after such shitting roll.
There were just so many booths to go through, Mahmud wasn't sure where to start. Games here, games there... oooh what was this?
"Static! Polair!" If both of his friends were playing this one, it must be nice... right? Mahmud gave a small nod to the stand owner, a young and amicable blueblooded kid. With one HECK of a lusus. Yeesh. "May I play? Thank you." Best to be polite, after all.
Smiling at his friends, he rolled the dice... and got not only a great roll, but a prize as well! "Oh man!" A Geode! Who to give it to... For a moment he contemplated, and finally settled on a sparkling brown geode, the same muddy color of his blood... kinda. A nice person-neutral gift, he thought. Although who really want that? "So how are you guys doing? Anyone want this pretty rock?" Maybe he should keep it...
There was another troll at the booth too, and he looked to her as well. Did... did he offer her the shiny rock-thing? "Um... hi. Nice to meet you. Sorry, I hope I didn't shove you aside or anything."

Per the guide/rules of this shop, Mahmud is RPing this Bloodfest AS A TEEN. The guidelines can be found here! TY! : D
Api needed a break from manning their booth, so they decided to check out what everyone else was doing. Along the way they spotted their friend Kaldru's booth and, of course, had to come play! The mechanics seemed pretty interesting, but Api was way more interested in what Kaldru had to offer as prizes. Boy, he sure was talented!
They only managed to move 5 spaces, but got access to some of that sweet jerky. Api picked out the plain variety to take back to their booth with them for later - all that dancing made them hungry!
"Kaldru!! Your booth is really cool! If you take a break you should come visit mine okay? You can get some honey." Api grinned as they waved at their friend, then headed off to see what other activities they could do.

Zeylla eyed the troll as he spoke up, noting his very tropical clothing. She hadn't noticed him bump into her, if he had, and she shrugged at him as if to say 'Don't worry about it'. But while she wasn't eager to reassure him that he hadn't bumped her, she did feel that perhaps he needed a little advice about his just won prize.
"I would recommend keeping that for yourself, I'm sure they can win their own," she stated, and added, "I don't need it either, so enjoy your win," she wasn't sure what brought her to say that, but it was too late to act like she hadn't said it.
"Hello," she tacked awkwardly to the end, because she was trying to work on her social skills. Hellos were important, right?

Static Charge Static gasped and grinned at the orangeblood! "Mahmud!! Wow you've gotten tall!!" Static had to look up at his friend. The blueblood knew his orangeblood friend would grow taller, but that was defiantly a growth spurt. "Woah! That rock is so pretty! Nice Win!" Then a troll nearby seemed to say something a bit odd, telling Mahmud to keep his rock. Static agreed, sure, but why would this girl tell him to? "Ye-yeah Mahmud! Take it hive and put it somewhere! I know your lusus will love that sparkle its got!" Static looked awkwardly at the hemoanamous troll as she said hello. What was her bloodcolor?! How was he supposed to respond to this? Static finally ended up just shrugging while he said hello back, and then looking back at his friend.

"Hi! I wanted to make a game 'cause -- hi Zeylla!!"
Kaldru started to answer, but was cut off by his excitement of seeing his 'teacher' (or so he considered her) showing up. He waved enthusiastically, nearly falling off of his step stool before remembering to finish answering the question.
"I wanted to make something anyone could play! My lusii and I have been working on getting all these prizes together for a long time, so I wanted to make sure I could give them away!"
Micillia
"I built the booth! And the leather stuff!" he proclaimed energetically, though he giggled after, taking a moment to help another troll get their prize.
"Well, mostly. Mim's drones trimmed the booth up for me! They helped me with the prizes too. They dug up all the geodes! Um, I made the jerky too though. I've been practicing hard~! So I've been catching things a lot better!"
stringency
"I'll definitely come by! That honey was really good, I hope you have some here~!"
Kaldru giggled as he waved to his friend. It was exciting seeing trolls he knew even so far away from where he'd met them!

Api decided to hit up Kaldru's booth first thing the next evening- before things started getting busy at their own booth! They got to move eight spaces this time. Once more, it seemed that nothing special happened that day, but at least they got to grab one of the cute uh... beetle... vehicles? Api picked up the yellow one with the purple splatters and examined in. Wait... were these made out of beetle wings...? Not.. not money beetle wings, right? Api looked over to Kaldru and waved a hello, complete with a smile, then headed on out to try their luck at a couple of the other booths they liked before setting up their own for the night.
