Homecoming Carnival Post I [The Park, Saturday, October 20, 2012]

[glacial_witch]

Today, when all the children awoke in their beds, they would discover a most joyous occasion! There was a carnival in town! A carnival just for them! All the rides and events were all child-safe and kid-friendly. Even the thematic decorations had become kiddified; no worries about nightmares from this little guy, huh? Didn't he look like fun? Don't

Fun House

[glacial_witch]

An epic fun house to climb around in, complete with fun features like: rope ladders, crazy mirrors, a barrel-roll tunnel, slides, and, of course, a giant ball pit at the bottom.

"I'm queen of the caaaaastle!" Dinah yelled at the top of her lungs. "Can't catch meeeee!"

"Don't run too far!" Jaime called after her, knowing the words were futile even as they left his mouth.

He wondered if Helena would settle for just breaking his legs or something if Dinah got hurt while he was around.

Momoko dropped Jaime's hand and ran for the ladder. "Nuh uh! I'm gonna catch you!"

Re: Fun House

Dinah laughed and stuck her head between the rungs of one part of the bridge. "Nyah nyah nyaaaaaaaah!" And then there was running, and stopping to lean over one railing to wave to Jaime. "Look look look how high I am! Lookit!"

"Oh, I'm looking," Jaime called back, carefully not thinking about Dinah falling from that height.

Funny how running after Dinah meant Momoko had to take the slide, didn't it. She heard Dinah's call to Jaime, though and immediately began climbing again. "I bet I can get higher!"

Re: Fun House

[blondecanary]

Dinah shrieked as Momoko started climbing higher, and looked around for something else to climb. Monkey bars! "No no, Momo, I'll be higher!"

And look, now she could hang upside-down! "Jaime are you still watching? See I'm tall!"

"I'm still watching," Jaime answered, trying not to let his eyes bug out of his head. "Just be careful, okay?"

Yeah. Because that was totally going to work.

"Ah?" Momoko crested the rope ladder and climbed onto the platform to see Dinah UPSIDE DOWN! "That's awesome! Me too!"

She looked around for a way to get over there... Oh, hey, if she held on to the edges of the slide, she could walk UP and be back in the other fort again. The one that had the look-out place. That was HIGHER than the monkey bars.

Which, of course, she totally had to get to, now, and she changed direction away from Dinah

"Momo, where are you going?" Dinah asked, then looked up. "Ooooooo!"

She would have started climbing even higher, but then she saw the ball pit. She jumped up and down on the bouncy bridge. "BALL PIT! THERE'S A BALL PIT MOMO!"

Re: Fun House

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime breathed a tiny sigh of relief. Ball pits, at least, did not involve falling long distances onto hard surfaces.

He hoped that thought didn't jinx him.

Re: Fun House

[heromaniac]

Momoko looked back at Dinah. "I know. Imma jump from up there!" And continued climbing.

Sorry Jaime.

Re: Fun House

[blondecanary]

"OOOoOOOOOO!" And that would be Dinah, trying to join her in that.

Re: Fun House

[weldedtomyspine]

"Oh no you don't!" Jaime called. "No jumping from up there. Either of you!"

Who knew? Maybe they'd listen. He was, after all, an adult.

Re: Fun House

Momoko had just made the look-out perch, and she looked over the edge at Jaime. "Why not?" She waved. "Hiiii!"
