Re: dunking booth

[sand_wormie]

[The dunking booth is the most completely alien concept Luke has yet seen. He can wrap his head around soaking-baths and swimming pools, with a little trouble, though he finds them utterly bizarre. But this...

...whaaaat is this he doesn't even.

As a result, he's stood around in his snazzy new striped overtunic for at least a few minutes, boggling.]

[abominable]

[dfhndfh that outfit. That draws Anders' eyes first, then he recognizes who the outfit belongs to.]

Hey! Dragon kid! [He waves- don't laugh don't laugh don't- laughing.] Ahem- what's that look for? Want a go? First toss is on the house- yes on the house, don't make that face. [He directs to the booth attendent currently making 'that face' at him.]

[Splutter]

But what - how - why? How does... even... that much water, for...

[abominable]

Uh... well see if they only used a little water it'd probably hurt- don't get any bright ideas. [He points at one of the booth guys before looking at Luke] You going to be ok over there? You look a little... hopelessly shocked.

[sand_wormie]

[Flashbacks. There was a time when a scurrier, a sort of hopping rodent pest less dangerous than womp rats, somehow got into a tank of stored water and died there, not discovered until the odor started.

Luke had never smelled anything like that - on Tatooine, corpses usually desiccate. They didn't have whatever you needed to purify water that had been so thoroughly fouled... it was a terrible season, that one.]

But I - it's -

[Plaintively]

What is this? Why is this?

[abominable]

[Anders looks perplexed. In truth he had never really been to a festival before, life in the Circle Tower was hardly... festive. He hadn't the slightest idea where the idea came from. At least he could answer the what.]

It's a dunking booth- pretty self explanatory I guess.

[sand_wormie]

[Luke has been to festival-y things before; they're different on Tatooine, of course, and he's grown exasperated with how, every season, they are pretty much the same.]

Dunking? But that's - not. Not even a bath. [And oh, that was a weird enough idea by itself, but he'd heard of them back home, at least, and on Tatooine there's a status aspect to the idea.] I don't...

People really have that much water?
