Homecoming Carnival | Post II | The Park | Friday, October 24

[stacyexperiment]

The carnival was still going strong, and of course the booths were always a big draw! Whether you wanted to kiss someone, see them sopping wet in late October in Maryland, or just throw pie in their face, there was plenty more to do!

There was probably still glitter involved somehow.

Pie Throwing: Irene Adler

See what a good teacher Irene was? She was here, even if she hadn't signed up. She was positively brimming with school spirit, or something.

Now, granted, she had worn something a touch less elaborate than her usual (like she was going to wear a McQueen to a pie-throwing event, for god's sake), and her hair and makeup was similarly a little less done than usual.

She felt that both of those were warranted preparations for the possibility of a pie in the face, thank you.

"You actually signed up for this?" Hatter asked, surprised. "What, not too worried about getting doused in pie for a good cause?"

"Oh, no, someone took the liberty of putting my name down for me," Irene assured him with a bright smile. "But I figured it beats the dunk tank, and none of this needs to be dry-cleaned."

She arched a brow. "Don't you get any pie-related ideas, though, or I'm going to be forced to retaliate, you know."

"Wait, wait, wait, you're warning me away?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "If I want to take a turn, I should be allowed. What's to stop me? Your threat of revenge?"

Re: Pie Throwing: Irene Adler

[begmetwice]

"...yes."

Irene hadn't really thought that through, no. Nor had she actually thought anyone was really going to throw a pie at her.

"Yes, the threat of revenge should stop you. You don't want pie all over your lovely clothes, do you?" Nice appeal to the common interest, there.

"I don't believe you could actually throw a pie and hit me," Hatter said cockily. "But, if that's all you have, darling, then I think I'm going to take a turn and toss a pie at you."

Re: Pie Throwing: Irene Adler

[begmetwice]

"I have bloody fantastic aim," she said, waggling a finger at him and looking a bit more uneasy now. "And I'll buy up the whole stack of pies to throw at you if I miss, anyway! I have a trust fund!"

Useless.

"Are you waving your money at me now?" Hatter wondered, crossing his arms and looking amused. "Should I be offended? I think I might be offended. I might need to take multiple turns at your booth."

Re: Pie Throwing: Irene Adler

[begmetwice]

"I will buy the entire bakery and throw pies at you all the time," Irene tried. "It'll be my new hobby."

Good defense, Irene!

"Why are you getting so panicked about this?" Hatter asked, picking up a pie and holding it in one hand. "Even if you didn't sign up, you are still there, taking your turn."

Re: Pie Throwing: Irene Adler

[begmetwice]

"I didn't think anyone would actually do it." Irene was more defeated than panicked at this point, eyeing the pie with a grimace. "I thought I'd get to just sit here and look pretty."

Re: Pie Throwing: Irene Adler

[teashopconman]

"Oh darling, you've made yourself a very pretty target and that's magnetic to some people."

Some people like him. He hefted the pie and peered down at it before he gave it a quick, solid hurl. Enjoy your pie, Irene. It'd be a great accessory!

Re: Pie Throwing: Irene Adler

And that was pie, all over her face and in her hair. Goddammit.

"I'm sticky," came the pathetic little whine from Irene, once she'd spat out some of the whipped cream.

Re: Pie Throwing: Irene Adler

"And what a good look 'sticky' is for you!" Hatter boomed, clapping his hands. "That was fun. So much fun!"
