Carter's Traveling Steam Funfair

"You and your ducks." He replied, sounding amused.

"Alright, but I'm not engaging in this silliness alone. Someone better put rings on waterfowl with me or I might cry from the ostracization,"

"What is ze phrase? I am game? I have never been to a carnival before, I want to try everyzing zat I can."

by **Robin Stanton** » Mon Jun 03, 2019 3:24 pm

"You've never been to a carnival!?"

by **Colette Rosenhof** » Mon Jun 03, 2019 5:22 pm

Colette shook her head. "No, never. I was homeschooled." She stated as if that was a sufficient reason.

by **Robin Stanton** » Mon Jun 03, 2019 6:29 pm

"What? Surely not all day every day."

by **Colette Rosenhof** » Mon Jun 03, 2019 11:19 pm

"Well, no but..." Colette trailed off for a moment. "People were not as... open-minded when I was a young girl as zey must have been in your time."

by **Robin Stanton** » Tue Jun 04, 2019 12:32 am

"Oh. Right. My bad... So word about Future-Girl already spreading, huh?" she chuckles.

by **Colette Rosenhof** » Tue Jun 04, 2019 12:57 am

"Oh, I witnessed ze... event. When we were sending my ozer self home." Also some may have confused Colette for the newcomer. Or vice versa.

by **Basil Benson** » Tue Jun 04, 2019 1:01 am

"I miss mon petit ami de gelée." Basil lamented.

by **Colette Rosenhof** » Tue Jun 04, 2019 1:39 am

"You do know that I could do that too, right?" Colette asked her boyfriend in French.

by **Basil Benson** » Tue Jun 04, 2019 1:42 am

"No, that's weird. Don't ever." He replied in the same language.

by **Robin Stanton** » Tue Jun 04, 2019 3:07 am

"Uh huh, uh huh." Robin nods along to the French, clearly not understanding it. "Baguette baguette croissant, hon hon?"

by **Chase Delacroix** » Tue Jun 04, 2019 7:16 pm

"Yeah... not a word either," Chase agreed before smirking, "Probably for the best anyway."

by **Basil Benson** » Tue Jun 04, 2019 7:34 pm

"Yes." Basil confirmed.

Ducks?" He asked.

by **Colette Rosenhof** » Tue Jun 04, 2019 7:39 pm

"Ducks!" Colette confirmed. She could try her hand at shooting, but she'd seen Chase do it, experiencing it through osmosis.

by **Basil Benson** » Tue Jun 04, 2019 10:51 pm

The gang wandered over to the Hook-A-Duck and Basil did his best, but depth perception seemed to fail him. Repeatedly.

There were a lot of choice words muttered under his breath through his attempts, some of which may have been new even for Colette.

by **Colette Rosenhof** » Tue Jun 04, 2019 11:02 pm

For her part, Colette didn't fare much better. It was a case of things looking much easier than they actually were. But still, she was having a good time.

by **Chase Delacroix** » Wed Jun 05, 2019 2:59 pm

Chase, perhaps aggravatingly, had no trouble at all. Competing against his powers really wasn't fair.

by **Robin Stanton** » Wed Jun 05, 2019 3:19 pm

Robin, for her part, was failing horribly, but didn't seem too bothered, since it mostly came down to her clumsy Snorlax hands.

"You better be careful or they'll kick you out for cleaning out all the games." she chuckles.

by **Basil Benson** » Thu Jun 06, 2019 12:05 am

"What exactly are you going to do with all this fair tat Chase?"

by **Colette Rosenhof** » Thu Jun 06, 2019 12:33 am

Colette eventually managed to snag a suck, because it was a baby game for babies and even her noodle arms weren't that bad. When it came time to choose a prize she was a bit torn, because most of them were things like rainbow-coloured dolphins, monkeys, and rastafarian bananas. Instead of going for a plush animal she instead opted for a more goo-friendly option, a giant inflatable strawberry lollipop. You know, because that's what every girl needs.

Unfortunately, instead of being given the pre-inflated one the person manning the booth handed her an uninflated one in the package. And Colette, lacking lungs, found it extremely difficult to try to inflate.

"Basil, please inflate this." She was still getting the hang of her role in their relationship, but at least it was a little more to-the-point than her earlier attempts.

by **Chase Delacroix** » Thu Jun 06, 2019 2:40 pm

Chase gave his new light-up toy sword a test swing.

"Fight the Empire I guess."

by **Basil Benson** » Thu Jun 06, 2019 5:12 pm

"As if that wasn't on the agenda before a carnie handed you a lightsaber that 'fell off the truck'." Basil joked.

He took what he was handed immediately and did as requested. His lungs were still pretty healthy, considering the smoking habit hadn't really set in the rough effects yet, and he was done quickly.

He held it out for her to take back.

by **Colette Rosenhof** » Thu Jun 06, 2019 6:09 pm

Colette took back her inflatable toy and lightly bapped her boyfriend on the head with it almost immediately.

"Perfect."

by **Robin Stanton** » Thu Jun 06, 2019 6:35 pm

"This game is clearly rigged." Robin laughs.

by **Basil Benson** » Thu Jun 06, 2019 8:05 pm

The inflatable made the stereotypical hollow 'bonk' noise such an object tended to make when it struck something.

Basil's tone was unamused. "... What a lovely choice you made." He replied, going back to his game.

At last, he snagged a duck, and was handed a ticket to be turned in at another booth, and a plastic light up sword of his very own.

Which he promptly handed to the Snorlax. "Here, defend my honour."

by **Chase Delacroix** » Thu Jun 06, 2019 8:13 pm

"Hey... I thought I was your staunch defender," he said with mock hurt feelings.

by **Basil Benson** » Thu Jun 06, 2019 8:40 pm

"I'm being assaulted with an inflatable lolli and you aren't doing a damn thing about it." Basil observed.

"Time to enlist new help."

by **Colette Rosenhof** » Thu Jun 06, 2019 10:45 pm

Colette couldn't suppress a giggle, Basil's reaction was exactly what she had hoped it would be.

by **Robin Stanton** » Thu Jun 06, 2019 10:52 pm

"I have assessed the situation as a highly trained combatant and X-Men and using advanced future knowledge I have decided that she's not a significant risk." Robin nods and taps Basil on the head with the trademark-infringing toy.

by **Basil Benson** » Thu Jun 06, 2019 10:58 pm

'Chase, halp. " Basil responded to the second 'assault '.

by **Chase Delacroix** » Fri Jun 07, 2019 2:42 pm

"Uh... En garde you cotton filled fiend?" Chase said halfheartedly as he leveled his glowing plastic tube at Robin.

by **Robin Stanton** » Fri Jun 07, 2019 3:36 pm

"Fiend!?" Robin mock-gasps and waggles her saber at Chase, although her stubby arms aren't really fit for this and she quickly opts for hopping forward and just bumping into Chase.

by **Chase Delacroix** » Fri Jun 07, 2019 3:58 pm

Such an unexpected attack might trip up anyone who wasn't a superhumanly coordinated ninja, but Chase merely teetered on his feet before stabilizing his footing and bopping the Snorlax on the head with his sword.

"Yer dead," he smirked.

by **Robin Stanton** » Fri Jun 07, 2019 4:59 pm

"Snorlax, use Rest!" Robin announces and then just falls forward, threatening to topple on top of Chase.

by **Chase Delacroix** » Fri Jun 07, 2019 6:54 pm

Chase decided to pretend she had the weight of an actual creature that size and let himself be pinned.

"Alas, I too am slain."

by **Colette Rosenhof** » Fri Jun 07, 2019 10:59 pm

Colette nodded her head in satisfaction.

"At least we save it for when we're no longer in public."

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Jun 08, 2019 12:20 am

Basil leant into Colette and murmured to her quietly.

"Come now Madame, he's having fun. Let him have fun."

by **Colette Rosenhof** » Sat Jun 08, 2019 4:50 am

"Oh I'm just teasing. I know neither of them can understand me."

by **Robin Stanton** » Mon Jun 10, 2019 4:08 pm

Robin rolls over and gathers enough momentum to pop back up on her feet.

"Yo! Are you trying to be rude? At least save it till it's actually behind our backs."
