Narrator wrote:These two were posted up at the exit of a beer garden which had an 'adults only' sign at the entrance and an ID checker verifying ages at the entry point. It seemed likely whatever they were advertising was meant for a mature audience, being that their placement was so deliberate.
Ashlie Minamida wrote:A woman in a simple, casual white linen suit steps out of the beer garden, holding a small (plastic) stein of beer in one hand and a partially eaten soft pretzel in the other. She seems quite pleased with something as she pauses right outside the entrance before stepping fully into the busy flow of the crowd. She takes a very deliberate sip from the beer and ends up with a slight foam mustache that almost matches her white hair that glints oddly in the sun.
Katarina Karkov wrote:To Katarina's credit, she only jerked a tiny bit when Jez tapped her on the shoulder.
"Y-yes. I'm doing fine. It is good to get out," she said, lying optimistically.
Will Stanton wrote:"Enjoying the local color, are we, he...Ashlie?" Will said with a slight laugh, dropping the title.
Katarina Karkov wrote:Katarina nodded. "I am alright. For now, at least. And I am trying."
Ashlie Minamida wrote:"So I'm told but I don't have many reference points to compare. Or perhaps you Americans aren't used to the lack of processed sugar in everything."
Jezabelle Sherlock wrote:"I'm proud of you, babe." Jez interlaced her fingers in Katarina's and began to guide her toward the entrance and the attractions within.
Leo Eskandari wrote:"Alright then, let's do this," he said before approaching the dart game.
He handed over the red carnival tickets required for the game and took up a dart. After some experimentation, he found the right way for his big beastly hands to hold it.
"With any luck, I'll hit something I'm actually supposed to."
His tongue stuck out just a little in concentration as he lined up his shot, which was hard with a lion's snout in his field of vision. He let it fly...
... and hit no balloons.
"... stupid sausage finger slipped..." he grumbled as an excuse.
Victor Freud wrote:Victor was dressed more like he should be working one of the stalls than attending as a guest, the almost fluorescent pink of his suit jacket made him pretty easy to pick out in a crowd. Between the navy dress shirt, faded pink skinny tie, white slacks, and pink Chucks it almost looked as though someone had hit the randomizer button on a character creation screen. Maybe it was the well-worn newsboy cap that brought it all together, or just the way he held himself, but somehow it just worked?
The sight of so many mutants enjoying so many festivities did make him feel good, but that wasn't the real reason he was here. Oh sure, he'd hit up a few games, try some food he'd regret, all the good carnival stuff. But there had been one real reason why he'd came, and that he could just make out over the sound of the crowd. The stage was at the other end of the helix, and that was his destination. Everything else was secondary.
Emilie wrote:In a pair of neon pink heart lenses and a dress matched to Victor Emilie followed along quietly, nibbling on her cone of cotton candy. Her pastel Vans hinted she too was looking to get into a bit of activity.
"So where we goin' now?" She asked, semi distracted by the flurry of the carnival.
Katarina Karkov wrote:"We shall see if that lasts the night," Katarina said, under her breath, as she followed Jez in.
Ainsley Green wrote:Ainsley made greedy little grabby motions as Leo handed the toy over.
"What should I name him?"

"Well, I think you know what I'm after." Victor said as he nodded in the direction straight ahead. "But there's lots of good distractions along the way. Maybe I can win you some star-shaped glasses or something."
Leo Eskandari wrote:Tapping his chin in thought, he said, "Howabooouuut... Rory?"
He gave a cheesy smirk.
"And quite fashionable for at least a decade, I'm sure."Emilie wrote:"Or, wait, maybe those ones with the year number on them? That would be aces."
Leo Eskandari wrote:"I didn't know you could do accents with mindspeak," he chuckled, "Though I guess it fits with bein' able to speak different animal languages."
Katarina Karkov wrote:"To ward off other suitors, right?" Katarina smiled back.
Leo Eskandari wrote:Realizing he had put his foot in his mouth, he stammered, "Well it's... it's, err... well, it's kinda... well, nerdy."
