CARNIVAL! (Backdated to last Friday)

[wrnpcs]

[There seems to be a festive atmosphere all throughout Garden. Why? Because it's the Homecoming Carnival! The Garden Festival Committee has been hard at work all morning and when 1300 hours strikes, it's finally open for everyone to enjoy.

There's a map on the Directory which shows where everything is located:

KISSING BOOTH

[wrnpcs]

[Bridge leading towards the Directory]

Danny Masters

[totallynotaspaz]

[Danny did not sign up for this booth. He has no idea why his name was listed for the kissing booth. But it was, and now he is stuck here blushing profusely, wondering who on earth would even want to come up to a booth to get kisses.

Hopefully no one, because he doesn't particularly want to do this.]

[adewdropbright]

It can't be that bad, can it?

[ Aerith isn't thinking of kissing, considering how much younger and uncomfortable he look, but there's no reason they can't talk. ]

[totallynotaspaz]

Uh--well, it's just! I didn't really...sign myself up, a-and I've never...done this sort of thing before.

[adewdropbright]

What, someone else signed you up? Sound like a joker...or maybe they thought you'd bring in a lot of girls. [ She smiles lightly as she says that, intending it as a compliment. ]

Anyway, it's not too hard. You've seen people kiss before haven't you?

[totallynotaspaz]

Well...kind of. I guess.

[He's seen it in TV and movies, but it was always just him and his dad back home...no opportunities for any kissing, really.]

[adewdropbright]

[ ... Hm. She can at least take that as a positive sign that PDAs haven't suddenly become common in the halls, but he's really sounding unconfident. ] But you're still doing it, aren't you? Since you're here at the booth and all.

[totallynotaspaz]

Well, if I was signed up, I have to do it, right...?

Besides, I'm sure it won't be so bad...I mean, I only have to be here for a few hours or so!

[adewdropbright]

That's right. Just stay relaxed, it'll help a lot. Looking nervous won't make people want to kiss you much. But I'm sure you'll do all right.

[totallynotaspaz]

Uh...yeah. Heh.

Not sure how much I want to get kissed, is all.

[adewdropbright]

A boy your age doesn't want to get kissed? Oh my, oh my.

It's for a good cause. If you're here to do the job, no point stopping halfway.

But, I should probably get moving now. Wouldn't want to hold anyone up. [ She turns and takes a few steps toward the middle of the hall, looking around to see if anyone is coming over. If they were the same age, she'd probably have put down the money, but as things stand it was hardly thought about. ]

[expiries]

[Rolo's not doing anything besides walking around (and for a reason), but he's definitely making an expression of uncertainty when he sees the kissing booth and, uh --

That's great, Danny. Earning a lot of gil? The clients must be keeping you substantial company.

Maybe he should just walk away. Not because Danny's there, but given the nature of the booth, he really has no reason to stick around.]

[totallynotaspaz]

[oh god

sob

why.

Danny is just staring at Rolo, debating whether or not he should wave at him. Normally, he would, but he was at the kissing booth, waving at Rolo might be just a tad weird.

Not like staring at him is much better.]

[expiries]

[The staring is mutual that they may as well be playing a game of maintaining eye contact.

. . .

Okay, no, this has gone on long enough. Sorry, Danny. With the faintest of a wry smile, Rolo turns partway to get going. Speak up or do something now or forever hold your peace at that kissing booth.]

GOOSE

[badasscopters]

[Goose so signed up for this.

He so, so signed up for this.

He's just sitting, chilling, and drinking on some sweet tea. Any takers~?]

[bentbowarcher]

Figures YOU would do something this ridiculous. Me winning an auction for you wasn't enough of a thrill, I take it?
