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.
[Ah. See, this is probably the reason he is here. While Zulf was a speaker and a missionary, so he did gatherings and parties often, faires were not usually his idea of fun. He liked being at home in his spare time, reading a book.]
[But things like friends were good ways to get him out, and he wasn't exactly going to tell Kid no.]
[ The fact that Zulf was willing to come out in the first place was actually a little surprising, given the fact the young man was more partial to quiet moments to himself. But Kid can understand that, even if he's got his times where he likes a little hustle and bustle.
Inclining his head, he offers him a faint smile from behind his bandana. ]
Fried to the gills, but s'what carnivals are known for.
[Zulf smiles a bit at that. He looks down at the plate in curiosity. He doesn't think he's had one of these before, but trying new things was always fun. ....Hm.]
Well, most folks just eat it with their hands. But--
[ Ah, yeah. Kid had a feeling that would be his reaction to the giant pile of heart attack-inducing dough. So, he produces a fork for him to pick at it with, brows raising in amusement.
He can't really see him tearing into it with his fingers, honestly. ]
[Of course not. He would get his fingers sticky and then everything he touched would be sticky. Mark his words, Kid, he would make everything you touched sticky, too. No one likes being sticky!]
I would rather not make a fool of myself trying to eat this thing with my hands.
[He takes the fork and takes a bite. The look on his face goes from thoughtful to pleasantly surprised and approving.]
I have to say, I was not expecting it to taste so good.
[ Hey, he works in the forges. He's used to being all manner of gross things by this point in his life. But then again, Zulf comes from a higher class than him and then some, so... well, not the life where you wind up particularly sticky. ]
Be pretty amusin' to watch.
[ With a little good natured teasing out of the way, Kid smiles pleasantly in response to his reaction. ]
[ Kid ain't the prying type, so he'll leave Zulf to decide whether he wants to share those humble beginnings with him or not. He can't say he'd blame him for not, considering his own start at life. ]
Ain't much trouble to me. [ He does not hesitate to tear off a piece of the funnel cake. ]

Oh we shall see about that.
[He sees your funnel cake stealing. Oh look, guess what turned into a tiny snake when muttered some quiet word to himself.]
