As you wander through all the booths of bloodfest, one booth in particular catches your eye. it is splattered with blue and red paint and the banners depict ghoulish creatures of some sort, one ghoul has red 'blood' dripping from their mouth. This booth is called 'courage' as far as you can tell. Sitting in a chair off to the side of the booth rather than at the counter, is a troll barely taller than the tallest child. You might easily mistake her for one if it wasn't for her obviously more mature features, signifying teenagerhood. A pair of heart shaped sunglasses obscure her eyes and it makes it difficult to tell if she's actually looking at you or not.
A troll next to her, only a tad shorter and clearly close to a growth spurt any night now, is tying ribbons in her hair. The presentation....could be better. He looks up at you, grinning sharp teeth upon catching your eye. It's as if he knows that you're probably embarrassed to be caught staring. A blue symbol is painted on his bare chest in lieu of a shirt. It's smudged and dripping in the heat.
"Hey!" he greets you before you can skitter away. "This is Courage and it's the best booth you're gonna see at Bloodfest! If you're not a total cluckbeast, you should try it out." The smirk widens and he squints a little, side-eyeing you. "You gonna prove you're not a wriggler? Huh, broski?"

It looks like the tanks and candy have all been removed in favor of a maze of tubes, it looks like they are connected by very hard plastic boxes, large enough for an adult to get through. The tubes themselves are really large and there is a very dim light inside, looks like some cheap lights are strung along the ground to illuminate it
"Alright, so you've come back for your final task," Akkira is standing there with her hands on her hips and a big grin on her face. "guess what guys, you're going to have to face me now, you have to scramble your way through this maze all while avoiding me. if you can get out of the maze in the shortest time, you win the game and the title of fear champion!" the blind troll removes her star shaped sunglasses. "I was going to blindfold you, but tonight I'm testing something and you'll be facing some of my ghost friends, try not to get too scared alright?"
ooc mechanics
Roll 2 d6 the first one determines how fast you got through the maze or if akkira caught you. if you make it through the second determines how many obstacles you had to pass.

ZEYLLA CRYPSI GENERATED THE NUMBER 6! +18pts
Zeylla was not specifically following Akkira around, though it seemed like she was with her canny ability to just pop up wherever the redblood was. But today, she wasn't here to bother(or be bothered by) other troll, but instead was here to climb that wall.
Maybe she was having fun, and who could blame her! A world of boring was what Zeylla was used to, and here was a whole event where she could have some fun, with just a hint of danger.
"You're making this too easy," she teased Akkira before sliding up to the wall and cracking her knuckles with perhaps just a touch of dramatic flare, before starting her scale up the wall.
She did well, but as she climbed down, she crushed some bugs and her cocky smile was replaced with a minor pouting frown. She had done well, but not perfect. She would definitely come back to try again!

Chiara Moteku
You make it half way up the wall, you gain 18 bugs but you crush 7 and slip because of their juices. +11 points
Chiara glared at the blueblood, with his challenges and stupid face. Hadn't she seen him before? With leeroi or something? The blueblood smirked. This little shrimp was still tiny! Chiara grinned at the booth owners, more of a snarl really, and played their little booth game. She watched the other troll before her, a troll she even knew, attempt the booth's game, and Chiara smiled and actual smile. "Nice going girl!" Chiara said genuinely, giving trhe other troll a high five before attempting her turn.

As she turned to leave the booth, with another "Too easy," tossed playfully(?) at the Akkira and her partner, she glimpsed the blueblood she had met adventuring. A small, an adventurous smile crossed her face and she found herself awkwardly coming in for that dope high five with a resounding clap.
"Show her what you got!" the words of encouragement were out of her mouth before she could stop them, and Zeylla wondered to herself if this event was going to make her....friendly. She'd have to be careful to keep her cold facade intact. But she wouldn't take back her cheer to Chiara, and truly hoped for her to do the best she could!

Cerpin was feeling pretty good this Bloodfest. It was nice to stretch his legs outside of Chittentown sometimes. He'd heard Akkira was running a booth so he decided to drop by and check it out. The redblood was pretty lively and fun, it was sure to be entertaining.
"Kira! This looks pretty cool. Watch me, I'm gonna try it!" He grinned and gave his friend a hug before strolling to the base of the wall. He'd been training hard lately so his strength ought to get him to the top fairly quickly. Pulling himself up to the top, he posed triumphantly before realizing everyone else was collecting something.
"Oh ********! We were supposed to get bugs?" The purpleblood let out an embarrassed but amused laugh and he hurried to snag some on the way back down. Finally back on the ground, he stood next to the booth staff again. Hmm he didn't recognize the blueblood so he nodded at Guoli as a casual greeting.
"What'd ya think?" He rested his arms comfortably behind his head.
"Yeah, sure is easy not to ruin lives and crush bugs, I'm glad you did that so flawlessly, though maybe try with a little less death this time?" Akkira waved her hand in dissmisal.
Yamashii
"If I'm honest, you're a fantastic Idiot," she said with a snicker. "Come on at least pay attention when you're going for something, you're lucky I didn't have the funds to do something More dangerous," Even if Guo was willing to pay for everything, she wasn't willing to let him. The rock wall was as far as she was willing to budge.
she moved as if pat him on the back, but her aim was obviously off and a little low. She retracted her hand and laughed. "Ooops, sorry, wow when did you get so tall?"

Natash was excited for bloodfest. There were so many cool booths, and she'd be doing an event with her best friend Mesnei! Of course when she went to look for booths, the one that caught her eye was a booth that said COURAGE, and had to collect bugs. Gnash loved bugs! "A buggie booth a buggie booth a buggie booth," she chanted as she approached. She was really good at catching bugs!
Gnash climbed the wall excitedly, but every time she reached for a bug on the wall she crushed it summarily in her pink fists as she pulled back. She was too strong to get a delicate grip, and ended up back on the ground with no bugs to show for her efforts, and fists full of bug guts.

Admittedly if he'd known it was a bug wall he wouldn't have come over, but the sign that just said COURAGE on it had drawn him in. Since he was gonna be learning how to fight from Perore, he might as well... do... stuff like this? It made sense somehow. He listened while the redblood gave her instructions, then looked over to the wall. Gross.
He sighed, and pushed his swimshirt's sleeves back up to his elbows, then began the climb. While he managed to make it to the top (ha! those tree climbing skills did come in handy) he wasn't able to find any uh... living... bugs on the way up. Frustrated, he started back down the wall on a different route than he'd taken to climb up and stumbled upon a treasure trove of bugs. Perfect.
He grabbed several of them, then finished climbing down. Well. Now he hand handfuls of bugs and nowhere to put them. He walked back over to the booth and approached the redblood. "What do I do with 'em now?"

Guo watched some random purpleblood who bothered to give his horns fillings, apparently, hug Akkira and act all familiar. The hell? Didn't even seem to lsten to the rules, either. "Nice job, Grapejuice." He oozed sarcasm, especially since Akkira had called this dude fantastic.
"It should've been way more dangerous. Spikes n' stuff! The point would to be not getting stabbed, wonder how you'd do, bro."
Guo continued to eye Cerpin up, smirking. "Kiri, who's this joker?"

Cynril heard of a booth that had bugs and he just HAD to go there. Even if a certain someone that haunted his dreams ran in. Oh well, it would all be worth it right? The child climbed to the top, hoping to find all sorts of bugs. Sadly, to his dismay, he found nothing. That made him sad and disappointed. It's because I suck don't i? He thought.
He went down just to find a big clump of bugs as he went down! How lucky! Cynril took the bugs with him and held as much as he could carry, and tried waddling his way back to his booth. He noticed a sea dweller kid, who had stopped by her booth without any bugs. Hadn't she found any?
In an act of selflessness, Cynril waddled his was towards her and gave her some of his loot. He knew he was giving up on some delicious bugs but... It felt nice sharing.
"H-here... For you!"

Akkira shrugs, "Well, you could just put them in the box, wherever that is or you could eat them, They're pretty great protein,"

Guo's comments on what it should be somwhat irritated Akkira, but she just shrugged. "Sorry, wasn't in my budget, maybe next time we'll have a spike pit or something,"
She grinned and elbowed Cerpin pretty hard. "This idiot? He's one of my old neighbors, before I moved to chittentown!" It wasn't exactly a lie, she made trips to salamire often enough that they could sort of been neighbors!

Tsarzi Ameroc
Tsarzi sauntered up, keeping a distance from the quibbling group of trolls that she was pretty sure included both vendors. Well, she didn't come to see the vendors, she came to use this rock wall. Physical activity and puzzles were more her speed. Collecting bugs while you cimb was an extra challenge she was willing to take on.
As it turns out though, climbing a rockwall while gathering fragile, easily crushable bodies was not so simple. The squished innards coated her fingers and made it hard to grip, like trying to scale a sheer wall under heavy rainfall. It was impossible with these damdable insects placed in the most inopportune places too. Dammit, she nearly slipped that time. She tried to force her way higher up the wall but progression was in in her fortune and she knew better than to climb when you couldn't grip.
Tsarzi grit her teeth, but decided to withdraw for today, making her way down the wall. Tomorrow she'd come back and she'd be ready. But for now, she was going to get rid of this filth on her hands. If anyone noticed her smearing the worst of the mess off on a clear spot of the rock wall, well, she doesn't really care.
