★ Balloon Pop ★

[chi honda]

It was on to the next game Sabrina thought as she stepped up to a cool looking game with Giant teddy bears! They would look perfect in her room she thought as she raced towards the counter.

She read the sign and then looked at the balloons. It seemed like a pop a balloon get a prize kinda game. What fun! she thought as she once again handed in a ticket, but this time received 3 darts. She carefully shot the first one - miss. Then the second - miss. Then the third - so close but also a miss.

She shrugged it off and figured just like the goldfish game she could come back and try again. After all her dad had given her a lot of money to buy tickets with. Since he played to try and join her later, but wanted her to have fun before he could arrive. Which was totally okay with her. She was having plenty of fun, even if she hadn't won anything yet.

The balloons were a little less exciting than the possibility of a fish, but still. Nathaniel was determined to do this thing the right way around, and he was determined to have a good time - which really, he was, and he cheerfully plucked up a few darts to throw at the balloons.

After Kaileen had played the other games and racked up on stuffed animals she decided to try another game. The Balloon pop game was the next on her quest to win and collect them all. The game looked simple and easy enough. All She had to do was take some arrows and throw them and pop balloons.

Should be easy right?...…. Nope not at all!!!!

Turns out that Kaileen's hand eye coordination is not up to par. She threw one of the arrows only to have it land beside a ballon. The other two hitted a balloon but did not pop them.

After losing round one against the terrible, mean duck pond, George wandered the booths, eating food along the way until he saw it, the balloon pop game, the one game he'd get to use sharp, dangerous toys at! Excited, George waited his turn, slammed money down and aimed.....only hitting one balloon, dammit. Before he could put down more money he was shoved to the side by some jerk dudebro. Ah well, he'd go see who he could flirt with and chill out for awhile.

Sticking out her tongue Evren took aim at the balloon letting one of the darts fly she managed to pop the first balloon. Picking up the second one she threw it and it missed the balloon that she was aiming at. Her third try, however, she hit another balloon. "Aw man... I was so close." The giant stuffed animals would just have to be a fleeting dream. She was handed one of the smaller stuffed animals she laughed well at least this little one was cute. Ah, she had an idea for another outfit. Maybe she would work on it when she got home.

Freshly arriving from the duck pond was Clementine, enormous stuffed bear passed off to her mother during a brief five-minute detour where she might have made insinuations about being born lucky that had no real basis in reality (look, okay, getting a prize on her very first attempt at her very first game today was some kind of natural luck, she had no time for discussions of probability). Balloons? Balloons were less preferable, really, but she could deal with that; she'd thrown things before.

Maybe not at balloons. Well, at balloons, but with very little success in her goal. But today was different!! Probably!! Maybe!!

After three throws, Clementine had come to the conclusion that - no - today probably wasn't very different, and perhaps her moment of precognition with the ducks had been abnormal. She huffed, moving onto the next station, continuing the circuit whether or not she was going to be having any particular success with the rest of it. That was luck and life, after all.

The dart game! Another major staple. Also tended to scare people who didn't like balloons popping. She remembered her young cousins who would cry at that... Hopefully no one would cry today.
Because, well, she was going to play too.
First dart was close but not enough, second wasn't really close at all, last one bounced off a balloon (???)

Whatever aim Dione had for the ball toss had disappeared, apparently. No more plushies for her! Di walked off in a slight huff. Whatever.

His luck was not working out quite as well as he would have liked, but that wasn't about to stop him from trying anyway.

Besides, Nathaniel thought, as he picked up a dart; it sure beat working.

Mags almost missed the game, if he was being perfectly honest. He was too busy taking in the colors and shapes, planning a new makeup tutorial based on what he saw here. Something outrageous and bold, for sure, with blown out eyeshadow and rhinestones. God, all of the rhinestones. And glitter. Oh dear lord all of the glitter. Maybe like a couture version of a face paint design. Like the classic butterfly eyes... yeah, that'd be something. Mahogany already knew the colors that he would use too. Still reminiscent of the colors that face painters would use, like simple pinks and purples and whites. After all they had to recreate the same design over and over, child after child...

"Maggie!"

Mahogany jumped when Arash grabbed his arm to stop his stroll.

"Maggie, why not try out luck here."

Mahogany followed the line of Arash's arm, noticing for the first time that they seemed to have wandered into the carnival games. Arash pointed specifically at a wall of brightly colored balloons, causing Mahogany to smirk.

"You gunna win me a big plush bear, Ara-joon?"

Arash only scoffed and handed over his money.

"I'm gunna win myself a big plush bear, Princess," the other boy countered... before missing every single shot. Mahogany, of course, failed to stop the gyser of laughter that erupted from his chest, despite the nasty looks and rough shoves from his friend.

"Oh bravo,” Mahogany finally stammered, gently wiping the tears from his eyes, careful not to disturb the pigment there.

"Shut up,” Arash hissed, slamming down more money for more darts.

"Ooh, sharp objects!" Maxine said with a cackle as she approached the balloon pop stand. She received some disapproving looks. "I'm kidding." Grumbling, she took up the darts, and began to sling them at the balloons. Her powered attacks involved darts (sorta), so this should be a piece of cake!

Unfortunately, it wasn't. She whiffed pretty much all of them. Boooo!

Amigar was so happy with her new panda bear plush. That she couldn't stop hugging it as she walked around.

She was so very happy and the excitement continued as she ran into another game.

This one was a little harder, but she figured why not as she walked up with her bear still tucked under her arm. She politely handed a ticket and grabbed the darts.

She tried her hardest but sadly she missed everyone. Still it was fun, part of her wondered if maybe they should throw a festival type event for their bakeries anniversary it could be fun for sure.
