as stolen from bakerstreet 1. post with your character--name, fandom and any particular preferences go in the subject line as usual. 2. you can either roll or pick a scenario (or scenarios!) from the list or leave your comment blank. 3. reply to people! 4. Have fun and be mindful of your partner's preferences.
OPTIONS:
1. games: from classic ring toss to the shooting gallery, here's your chance to win a prize for yourself or for that special someone. Some say the games at a carnival are rigged, but maybe, just maybe, you'll get lucky!
2. food and drink: the sweet smell of funnel cake and the familiar briny aroma of popcorn draw you over to the food and drink tent. there's cotton candy, candied nuts, and cheep booze, all here for your enjoyment.
3. classic rides: the carousel, the ferris wheel. all carnivals need these classic rides for kids and adults who aren't looking for the excitement of the faster-paced rides. snuggle close to your partner and see if you can see your house from the top of the wheel.
4. something more exciting: this is for thrill-seekers. here you'll find the tilt-a-whirl, the gravitron, the screamin' swing--all the rides designed to make you lose your lunch. hope you didn't have too much cotton candy!
5. freakshow: do they really have a bearded lady in that tent? it's time to find out. buy a ticket and see the greatest oddities the world has to offer.
6. tunnel of love: or perhaps tunnel of mild boredom. the red-tinted lights and quasi-romantic music are meant to make this ride a great makeout spot, if the chemistry is there.
7. hall of mirrors: you and your partner entered, thinking it would be easy to get out again, but dead ends abound in this wacky mirror-maze, and each mirror seems to show a more and more distorted image of each of you.
8. fortune teller: whether one of the creepy machines or the even creepier women dressed up in a culturally insensitive costume, you cross someone's palms with silver and get your future told. will it be happiness forever with your partner, or will ill tidings be bound your way? optional: use to get your fortune!
9. wildcard!: i know i forgot something, probably several somethings, so here's your wildcard for whatever else you can fit into this meme.
[Arya knows it's a very, very bad idea to use her marksmanship to knock down the bottles in the games. It's definitely cheating, and also a very good way to get called out, possibly even tested.
So she's now a girl on a mission, and that mission is to find Derek Hale.]
[ The thing about the carnival is that it's loud. And full of people. And for about six years, Derek spent a great deal of time living in the relative peace and quiet of nature reserves. Far, far away from people.
So he's incredibly prone to becoming peopled out, which has lead to him finding a slightly more quiet corner of the fairgrounds while his adopted family and few friends spend their time in the noisier paths between stalls and rides. ]
[ Peering down at his sudden attachment, Derek raises his eyebrows at Arya and adjusts his arm calmly. He takes her head in a lose headlock, enough for a light pressure but not enough that she can't wiggle right back out again when she wants to get free.
He can only guess what she might need him for, given the various things around the grounds. ]
[Arya feigns struggle for a moment, but then decides to stay put. It's comfortable here, caught in the arms of somebody who cares about her, somebody who will help her see her goals through and not punish her for them. Someone she doesn't ahve to run away from.]
[ Arm relaxing as Arya ceases her mock-struggling, he lets it loosely fall around her shoulders, considering her absently. She's come a long way from that first summer where they'd really known each other, and he can honestly say he's just as comfortable with her.
[She always feels a bit bad, hitting Derek up for cash, but it's loads better than asking one of the Lannisters for it, especially when she knows she won't get any. She knows Derek would help her if he could, and Arya'd do the same for him, if she was a bit older.]

But right now, Arya needs him, and she comes up behind him, sneaking her head through the crack between his arm and his side.]
I need you to do something for me.
