Food & Drink charming_thief October 21 2011, 13:24:25 UTC

The totes moddable concessions being offered were a mix of typical carnival food and more exotic options to suit the theme. One stand was offering shots of straight maple syrup.

Troy hadn't realised, upon his... escape... from New York that he was arriving back on the island just in time for Homecoming. That didn't mean he was going to pass up the opportunity to catch up with anyone coming in who he knew.

If there was anyone he knew.

It also didn't mean he was going to pass up free food. Because. Free food. Troy grabbed a couple of corn dogs, and hesitated over an order of poutine before caving and grabbing that, too.

Yes, making concentrated liquid sugar available to Calvin wasn't going to end at all badly.

Re: Food & Drink perilless October 21 2011, 16:25:19 UTC

A straight shot of maple syrup sounds too good to pass up.

A straight shot of maple syrup sounded a lot better than it was.

A straight shot of maple syrup, thankfully, was not enough to derail a lifetime of training in choking down not only food that might not taste too good with grace and dignity, but also potions, elixirs, and draughts.

Still, Rosella coughed a little, blinked out the water from her eyes, and went to seek something a little more...not crazy.

Tables charming_thief October 21 2011, 13:24:40 UTC

The tables had maple leaf tablecloths on them, and each table had a rolled-up map of the Great White North on it. On the back, there was even a quiz! Can you name all the provinces?

Re: Tables solo_sword October 21 2011, 14:13:16 UTC

Jaina's irritation over her lost Angry Birds game (shut up, she'd put a lot of bored time into that) lasted till she actually got to Fandom. There were people to see, and that was far more important. She got a drink and took a seat at one of the tables where she could look for familiar faces... at least when she wasn't eyeing the map. Why no, she couldn't name all the provinces, or even one.

Re: Tables asgardcreated October 21 2011, 14:33:56 UTC

Jon was wandering around, checking to see who showed up to Homecoming and grinned when he saw Jaina.

"You're not going to try and recreate your time here by getting drunk and dragging your boyfriend to the flight shed, are you?"

Yes, he chose that bit from the radio to remember Jaina by.

Re: Tables solo_sword October 21 2011, 14:51:12 UTC

Oh, Jon. Bringing up a stupid mistake with an ex from years ago was not the way to go there.

"Wow," was all she said.

Rides: Bumper Cars charming_thief October 21 2011, 13:25:13 UTC

Just don't ram other people head-on. That hurts.

Re: Rides: Bumper Cars geewhizfellas October 21 2011, 20:09:47 UTC

Bumper cars! They were some of Butters' favorite carnival rides, and so he was definitely getting behind the wheel when he wasn't at his kissing booth.

This was especially fun without any Eric Cartman to try to ram him every chance he got.

That still didn't seem to stop Butters from getting stuck in a corner, though.

"Oh, hamburgers."

Re: Rides: Bumper Cars guardianborn October 22 2011, 01:20:41 UTC

Rose wasn't actually paying attention to that rule about ramming other people head-on.

At least not when other people were Dimitri, and she was totally going to beat him in every game.

Games: Ball Toss charming_thief October 21 2011, 13:32:21 UTC

Throw your ping-pong balls at a grate -- five in a row wins!

Re: Games: Ball Toss guardianborn October 22 2011, 01:30:40 UTC

Okay, those rides were just a warm up. Now the real competition began.

Did you know two fully trained guardians could compete over ping-pong ball throwing? They could.

Games: Bean Bag Toss charming_thief October 21 2011, 13:32:35 UTC

You want to aim for the little bean bag-shaped holes. Not fellow students. Just in case that wasn't clear.

Notifs are off! If I've missed a game or ride you want, or if you've observed that the subthreads are alphabetized and want to tell me I should be Queen of OCD forever, feel free to poke me down here!

Oh, and the lovely icon was made by willbethenight, who is all kinds of awesome.
