Down the row of games you hear some clattering and someone trying to find creative ways to vocalize their displeasure.
Set up in a small booth are some neatly stacked milk bottles 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 milk bottles. They are painted solid colors 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 bottles!
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 bottles to fall over. Most people can manage to get most of them but those bottles on the bottom ... they're extremely stubborn.
If you can get all the bottles 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 1d10. If you get a 10 you have knocked over all of the bottles and you can instantly claim a prize!
Having trouble knocking the bottles over? Well good news! You have three tries to knock them down. After your first roll you may roll 2 more d10. If your total dice rolls add up to 10 you may claim a smaller prize!
Each character may play this game a max of 3 times per day for a total of 9d10 over the course of at least 9 posts.
★ This is an in character thread! Each roll must be accompanied by a role play post. Bring your friends! Cheer each other on! Win prizes!
★ Yes you can save the plushie image for your journal! Please save to your own server though.

But wait - what was this???? There was one more booth to be had before she could reach the food? This one had more plush animals and baseballs and while Mehri wasn't exactly sure what baseballs and bottles had to do with rabbits, she was going to give it the old college try to get one of the stuffed creatures. They were painfully cute after all and Mehri was trying to work up more of an appetite before she approached the food area. The goal here seemed to be knock things over, rather than add it in or pop it, and so Mehri picked up one of the balls and gave it a heavy throw. It actually made contact with the bottles, something she was pleased about - but only three fell down at the impact. It didn't appear like they were waited down, and the barker ushered two more balls her way with the statement she could try two more times to knock the rest down for a much smaller prize. She wouldn't get the rabbit unless she hit them all in one go but a smaller prize was welcome. Quote: DAY 1 THROW 1: MISS [ 3 ]

Taking the next two balls in hand, Mehri gave them each the ol' college try to knock the remaining bottles down for a prize of any kind. She couldn't tell exactly what it was but she was not going to walk away empty handed. This wasn't like the balloon game after all! Her second throw didn't really do much, just knock a few more over, though the third throw connected perfectly and completely cleared down the remaining bottles. With the small prize in hand, having gotten them all over, Mehri tucked that as well into her bag and considered this a success. Now, maybe now, she could get some food. Maybe.

Rosie wasn't thesort of person to come to the fair alone--this was the kind of thing she wanted to do with friends, because going by herself was kind of boring. That didn't mean she didn't get distracted, though, and distracted she found herself, staring at the plush bunnies at the milk bottle booth. Temporarily forgetting herself--and indeed, everything else but those adorable plushies--she handed her money over and decided to give it a try. All she had to do was aim carefully and hit it hard enough, right? Right! ... Or not. Hm. Well, persistence would pay off in the end!

She still had the chance to win something, even if it wasn't the prizes she'd had her eye on. Persistence was key, right? Taking the extra balls handed to her, she decided to try again. All she had to do was... line up her aim, take the ball, and... toss! ... Oh. Oh, okay. Well, she hadn't won what she hoped for, but she wasn't walking away empty-handed either. Rosie decided that was good enough and, smaller prize in hand, walked away from the booth. Now, where had she been going before the bunnies distracted her, again? Quote: Throw 1: 3

After walking around the fair for a bit Noelle decided to check out the games. Spotting the rabbit plushies at the Knock Down game she decided to try it out. Handing over her money she picked up a ball and threw with all her might and missed.

Picking up the second ball she thought it best to throw a bit softer. With her second throw she knocked all the bottles down.

Perrie had never been to a county fair before, being an expat Londoner. But the idea sounded fun! He had acquired himself some pink stuff on a stick that melted in his mouth all sugary, and he was enjoying that when he noticed the games. He HAD to give those a go.
The first game was simple enough -- throw a ball, knock down some bottles, win a plush bunny. Picking up one of the balls, he threw it at the bottles in the extreme overhand throw that cricket bowlers use.
And he nearly knocked them all down!
This was fun!

The guy running the booth gave Perrie a concerned look as he continued his banter. Picking up another ball, the pink-haired Brit lobbed another ball at the wall of bottles.
The mojo was gone, though, as he only knocked down a few. Same thing for the last ball. No prize of any kind for him!
"Oh well," he chirped, shrugging and wandering off to the next game.

After her quick victory at the fish game, Mackenzie wandered down a few more stands to the bottle game. It seemed simple enough and she waited her turn for a shot to toss the ball at the targets.
"Come on, bunny!" she said letting the ball fly.

Mac frowned as her throw was good but not quite good enough. She let out a breath and squared her shoulders picking up her second ball and letting it fly at the bottles.

Mac frowned as she once again got nearly all the bottles but still not good enough.
She closed her eyes and let out a breath before picking up the third.
"Come on, bunny!" she said letting the ball fly one final time.
The ball once again knocked over a substantial number of bottles but still no dice.
"Darn!" she said and sighed moving to leave the stand.
"Miss, your fish!" the attendant called handing her the bag with the goldfish she'd won from down the lane.
"Oh! Right! Thank you!" she really had to find her parents to mind her fish before she forgot it somewhere.

Alise liked stuffed rabbits, liked collecting them, even if she always told people she was too old for such things. Anyone who ever stepped foot in her room would know that was a lie, of course- she had an extensive collection of them arranged in a manner that tended to unnerve people, what with the way they seemed to be judging them, that had been slowly accumulating over the years. Naturally, of course, a carnival game offering plush rabbits as a prize drew her attention, and the teen decided she absolutely had to make it her mission to take one home with her. Armed with too much money and way too much confidence in her ability to succeed, Alise paid the booth attendant, picked up a ball, and took her shot.
... The bottles failed to successfully all be knocked over. Alise was far from amused. "Stupid rigged game," she grumbled, pouting.

It was time to try for the bunny again, now that she had a bit more food in her and a small prize from the balloon pop. It brought in some small confidence that if she could pop a balloon she could maybe knock down ten bottles in one go. It was doubtful if she were honest but hey - all she wanted at the very least was just one. Maybe if she felt plucky she'd go for the whole set but for now? Just one was good. Cocking her arm back, she let loose one of the balls. It knocked over a bit more than she had last time, but sadly no dice - a few bottles remained. At least she had a chance to collect a smaller prize again?

She had two chances now to clean up four bottles, and so Mehri just gave it the one two toss and hoped for the best. Somehow, like before, she absolutely nailed it on her second through. Maybe she should just start picking up the second ball and throwing it first??? Who knows! Either way another small prize was hers and she was okay with it.... ... for now.
