Down the row of games you hear some clattering and someone trying to find interesting ways to curse around children. Set up in a small booth are some coffee cans and baseballs. Someone's set up a Knock Down game! The booth is set up in front of a small table holding a stack of coffee cans which have been slightly weighted down so they stay in place. They are bright red and seem to make easy targets but it doesn't quite seem like everyone is able to knock the whole stack over. After all, it doesn't count unless you get all the cans! On the booth are stacks of baseballs, some brand new some already scuffed up from the people playing the games. The person running the booth is cheering people on as they try to get the cans to fall over. Most people can manage to get most of them but those cans on the bottom ... they're stuborn. If you can get all the cans to fall over with one ball then you can take home one of the many stuffed toys hanging on the edges of the booth. You have to have pretty good aim though! Rules:★ Roll 4 d6. Every time you get a 6 you've knocked over all the cans! ★ Dice can be rolled once every 4 hours ★ If you win please post in This Thread for a raffle ticket! ★ Yes you can save the plushie image for your journal! Please save to your own server though. PrizesSchool Civi 1 and School Civi 2

She was sure this game would be the winner! After all it only took so many times before you were destined to win. right?
Sabrina crossed her fingers and walked up to the next adventure. This one was called Knock em down! Sounded about right, and about her kinda game. After all she had bowling with cans at the hotel one time. It was super fun!
She quickly handed the person behind the counter her ticket and received four baseballs in return. She put them down on the counter and picked up the first one. This one she did a simple toss - sadly it failed. The next one she threw it a little harder - miss again. Third one same same story. Then the final ball came. She closed her eyes and threw this one as hard as she could.
As she opened them she noticed she knocked them all down! She was a winner! She jumped up and down.
"woohoo!" she said as she smiled and looked at the teddy bears. She decided on the cute pink bunny bear.As soon as she got it she hugged it tight. It was so cute and she was super happy. she couldn't wait to show it off later, and add it to her room.

Vivi thought she had pretty good aim for this, and the toys were pretty cute. So, she wound up her arm and made the throw!
And maybe threw a little too hard, as she watched in horror as the ball not only hit the cans, knocking them down, but almost braining the booth runner. Sheepishly, Vivi took the bunny plush the man held out, with a look on his face saying he never wanted her near his booth again. And she would oblige him that, as she was dieing of embarrassment.

Evren had her face puffed to look like she was constipated as she let one ball fly she wasn't able to knock much down. On her second try, she managed to knock down all the stacked cans. With a smile, she looked overly proud of herself. Holding onto the panda that she was given she her proud smile got even larger as she held onto the stuffed animal.

Watching the people before her throw and halfway-succeed, Clementine figured this one probably wasn't rigged, but she still had her suspicions. Carnival games were, as she knew, probably rigged most of the time; that was how they got you to spend more money, right? Even though this was kind of a school thing, so maybe that meant they couldn't rig it... well, those were questions for the end of the day, because after one successful booth and one failure she was onto her third - another game of throwing. This didn't bode well, but she took the balls she was given and tried her best.
Whatever her best was, in this case.
Close - absolutely no cigar, she almost brained the girl working the stall and apologized profusely - less-close but closer than her second - and, on her final ball and her final chance, Clementine managed a successful throw. She fistpumped with a "Yes!!", grabbing her newest conquest by its' ears and sprinting off to deposit this one with her father. She was a mean game winning machine and she was on a roll.

Ah, yes. A real difficult game right here. It looked easy, but the cans were usually a bit heavy. So, even if you hit 'em, if it wasn't hard enough it would be a waste. The toy prizes were so cute, though... Di decided to give it a shot even though she knew better.
As she kept tossing and missing, she felt different shades of surprised and disappointed. She thought that, with all the training she did, she'd do a bit better... Even at the final round, where she finally knocked the cans down, it felt bittersweet. She'd just cuddle her new dog until she felt better.

Kaileen wanted to ditch her brother and his girlfriend. After tonight she wouldn't have to worry about her. Her brother was the 'hit it and quit it' kind of guy. Yes he was a pig. Kaileen couldn't do anything about it. She was stuck with him. The girl was now crying aboutbow they were mocking the animals with the stuff animals.
Kaileen was determined to win at least one of the stuff animals. She saw a documentary about fairs and one of the major things they talked about were the games and how rigged most of them were.
The documentary said that the bottles at the bottom are likely filled with weight. And the balls are filled cork Something along those lines. It said to look out for any that were jutted out or not stacked properly. Kaileen took a ball and tested it's weight. She was going to at least give it a chance and try the game.
Good thing that the game was not expensive. Just $1. She could handle that. Besides she was using her brothers money to play the games. She would have to eventually try to ditch him and his girlfriend. After she was finished with the games and they started to go on rides she would try and lose them within the crowd of people.
She threw the ball with all her might. When all the cans troubled over she jumped up and down.
"I knocked them over."
She was so proud of herself.

Amigar was so excited about the fair she almost couldn't contain herself.
She had just dropped off her family's bakery goods for the event and was about to head home when a family friend handed her some tickets. They told her how she needed to take a break and have some fun. She didn't disagree. Since lately she had been cooped up in the bakery. Not to say she wasn't having fun there but she didn't really get to take a breath and see events either.
She was super excited as she ran into the first game. She felt like a little kid again. As she stepped up to the booth and handed the person her ticket. In return she received some baseballs. It was a knock um over and win a prize.
Not exactly a ladylike game, but she didn't mind. Her first ball missed completely. Which didn't slow her down. She eyed the cans and hit it dead center with the next one. She was so excited.
She asked for the cute cuddly panda bear as her prize and completely just tossed her other two balls like they were nothing. After all she had a panda bear now what else did she need.

Luca tried again! And failed. Horribly. She thought she was going to hit a bystander with that third one...

)OH I AM NOT PASSING UP MY OWN DERM)
This was... One of those carny games, right?
Yolanda Hydrus stared at the cans before her, hands at her side as she watched several others play with an expression of curiousity before paying, slowly picking up her balls to look at the cans.
The cans that sat, sahining in front of her like some form of tease, and the young lady hummed before spinning, hurling ball after ball...
And missed.
She was silent several moments as the balls missed -- not hitting off one or two, but missing entirely, flying into the bqack of the booth and making a spectacular show of her inability to actually hit a target when she was distracted by plushies, and the girl stared.
Hard.
"....rerally...?"
