It was a good distraction for everything. A carnival was a place to be with people and to have fun winning (and/or loosing, unless you're a sore loser) games. It was a time to get loose. "I just wanted to check the carnival out! Looks like people are having fun."

Kohana-senpai said something about how the game they're going to be playing would be not as similar to Quidditch though it is quite related to being a seeker and she nodded. She turned to the booth before replying, "Yeah! It looks quite interesting so I'm going to try to play." Kanae said.

"I've never really tried being seeker haha" The girl added. She clapped politely as people played and earned tickets left and right. Good for them! Then, it was Kohana-senpai's turn and... THEY WON 80 TICKETS! Kanae cheered a bit for her upperclassman as he exited the booth before entering herself.

She ended up winning 55 tickets. Not too bad!

Now.. what game would be next? It looked like her upperclassman went to the Potions related game. The shorter girl wondered if those were actual potions or not but concluded otherwise mainly because the colors were so bright.

There was a glimmer at the corner of her eye. Woah, was that rip-off ring toss?

Maybe that was too mean but she's been to carnivals before -- muggle ones at least -- and she knows it's usually rigged there. Would it be here too? Well, no better way to find out other than to see for yourself!

Prat had managed competing in the Godric's Might booth with far more finesse than he'd expected of himself.

At first glance, it seemed like a ridiculous notion, why would anyone in their right mind would want to wrestle with a piece of metal only to be rewarded with flimsy paper tickets? Yet, when his hands found themselves closing around the hilt and the blade shifted within his grip, there was a flash of smug satisfaction as it slid free with enough strength to earn him fifty tickets.

That was respectable for the moment. More than that if he was being honest. It was enough to bring him closer to his rather questionable prize goal.

Crocs. Hideous, rubbery, absurd-looking footwear known as Crocs.

They did not suit his wardrobe in the slightest and yet something within the boy's mind urged for possession. No matter the lies he'd tell himself, he wanted them. Perhaps their appearance was so revolting they looped back around to being iconic. He could already imagine his roommates horrified faces as he'd strut into the common room with those monstrosities.

Just their annoyance would be worth the tickets and the extra effort.

Another thought that crossed his mind was to blow all his tickets on the balloons, just for the satisfaction of gifting one to every attractive girl he had and would spot during his time in the carnival. Maybe slipping them along with his name and school to see who might end up owling him later.

It was an idiotic plan, but one that still lingered in the back of his mind like an itch, owls were the second best things with the the lack of phones in the wizarding world.

But before he could pour more thoughts into his schemes, Sio was tugging him off towards the next booth, determination mixed in her steps that left him little choice but to follow the gryffindor. He didn't protest the pull, though he made sure to steer her slightly every now and then with subtle nudges.

If he'd let her barrel ahead unchecked, there was a chance she might end up colliding with some overeager student in the crowd or worse, a stand or booth.

The noise around them grew as they reached their destination and Prat soon understood why. The next attraction loomed ahead, absurdist in it's design but apparently popular among the abnormal crowd gathered around. A mechanical serpent of sorts, someone in the carnival, a genius of course, had thought to mimic a basilisk, and now the attendees were lined up to be thrown about on it's back. Laughing, shrieking and occasionally landing flat on the ground with their face first, while their peers jeered in the background.

Prat stared at it with thinly veiled disdain. The whole experience looked dirty, painful and above all, beneath him. He had no desire to be seen clinging to the back of a fake basilisk with some unhinged crowd laughing at his miserable failure. That, as he told himself, was not demure or aesthetic. And then Sio elbowed him in the ribs, lightly but an attack nonetheless. Her voice carried the challenge, irritating in it's attempt to get him as she grinned, "Time to see if you can match a farmgirl’s hand at wrangling some animals!"

For half a second, he considered declining outright. Wrangling animals was among the few actions that he would consider beneath him. A pastime for people who weren't aware of what proper living looked like. But then, the thought of letting her outdo him; or worse, hearing her bring it up later, with an upper hand was far less palatable than the excruciating ride itself.

"We'll see," he drawled, dry amusement and challenge in his tone. "Please don't break your head on the ground when you fall. I'd hate to explain the circumstances around that to anyone." Bragging rights were all that mattered here.

XXXXXXPlaying Bucking Basilisk, Challenge mode.

@Siobhan McCarty

Done with the Petting Zoo, Asara zooms over to the games. There's so many people and it's getting late already, she had to choose quickly. There were three that stood out to her, the Bucking Basilisk, the Streeler Stealer and the Discombobuladder.

They all looked so much fun! Especially the ladder one, she'd climbed so many trees they had nothing on her. She'd bet her time on the family boat and canoeing in rapids would help with the Basilisk too. The shells looked fun though. She watched them get swished around again and again and nodded.

Best to start strong, she thought to herself. Asara pushed her way through the crowd into the line and watched intently. As the line shuffled forward she hardly lost focus. Not even the circus music could distract her now.

When it was her turn up she stared straight at the shell shuffler's hands and nodded, eyes glued firmly to the shells. The man shrugged started. Her eyes stayed glued to him, hardly even breathing, waiting for him to stop. As soon as the shells stilled and the man declared it ready her hand zoomed towards the shell.

He grinned, and slowly..... slowly....... lifted the shell...

THE GAMES

DISCOMBOMBULADDER

Lucille feeling triumphant after her latest win decided to continue her gambles and approach her next targets booth, Disxombombuladder.

Discombobuladder [Challenge: Sta]: [d80: 72] + 12 = 80 Prize Tickets

It seemed that her gamble paid off this time as she ultimately won 80 tickets doing a pretty good job.

...

BUCKING BASILISK

Siobhan walked aways happy with the 41 tickets she won before approaching the bucking basilisk and challenging prat to see if he can handle the Basilisk as well as she think she can.

Bucking Basilisk [Challenge: Sta]: [d80: 6] + 9 = 15 Prize Tickets

Turns out she didn’t do as well as she expected but she still got a few tickets even with it being only 15.

Stella pleased with how she did this time went to meet up with her sisters for lunch where they discussed a new strategy for trying to win more tickets as Stella went to the Bucking Basilisk after there meeting.

Bucking Basilisk [Challenge: Sta]: [d80: 21] + 12 = 33 Prize Tickets

She ended up only with 33 tickets nor starting off the new strategy too good but it could have been worse!

Prat smugly accepting Siobhan challenge made sure to include how he didn’t want to explain to the authorities how she busted her head open so to make sure she didn’t fall as he watched her during her turn.

Bucking Basilisk [Challenge: Sta]: [d80: 28] + 8 = 36 Prize Tickets

Once her turn was over it was his turn and he ended up doing way better than she did winning himself 36 tickets!

WHACK-A-GNOME

Ruth after enjoying a delicious snack break with a sugary treat approached the Whack-a-gnome booth with a familiarity as it reminded her of Whack-a-mole and she figured it couldn’t be too hard.

Whack-A-Gnome [Challenge: Eva]: [d80: 69] + 15 = 80 Prize Tickets

It seemed that that cotton candy gave her a boost as she ended up wining 80 tickets destroying the gnomes.

Pyce giddy over them winning 80 tickets completely lost track of them heading to play Whack-a-gnome before Hecate reminded them about there plan.

Whack-A-Gnome [Challenge: Eva]: [d80: 19] + 14 = 33 Prize Tickets

seems like there luck was running out as they had only won 33 tickets which wasn’t bad but wasn’t as great as the first time they played.

...

POTION PLOP PANIC

Nicholas feeling the adrenaline from winning his first game was excited to play another game, he approached the potion panic booth as he was intrigued by it early wanting to play it.

Potion Plop Panic [Challenge: Eva]: [d80: 49] + 10 = 59 Prize Tickets

It seemed his excitement was paying off as he was on roll today as he ended up winning 59 tickets.

Sara was finally understand the excitement that seekers felt catching the snitch during a qudditch match as he had always protected the seekers not trying to seek for the snitch himself, he quickly took notices of a game that caught his interest and moved towards the booth.

Potion Plop Panic [Safe]: 50 Prize Tickets

He ultimately played it safe as he was already anxious about dropping things and it seemed to pay off as he won 50 tickets.

Evony after feeling the thrill of discombombuladder looked for another game to challenge her this time before setting her eyes on potion plop panic.

Potion Plop Panic [Safe]: 50 Prize Tickets

She ended up playing it safe again which paid off as her calculated movements earned her 50 more points!

STREELER STEALER

Dealla enjoyed the smile she got to see on Madhup face as even thought it wasn’t the game she wanted to play she was happy to see him enjoy himself, she ultimately lost to Madhup by a few tickets before heading to the booth she wanted to play.

Streeler Stealer [Challenge: Wis]: [d80: 20] + 14 = 34 Prize Tickets

She didn’t win a huge amount of tickets but still won a good amount with 34 tickets.

Madhup after showing off his strength to Dealla trailed behind her towards the Streeler stealer booth as he counted his tickets pleased with himself.

Streeler Stealer [Challenge: Wis]: [d80: 42] + 2 = 44 Prize Tickets

Madhup ended up beating Dealla by 10 tickets upper her in this game just like he did the last one!

Asara who had just finished the petting zoo quickly rushed towards the carnival games making a note of how many people were already here and how it was getting late, she looked around making notes of many games that interested her before heading to the Streeler stealer booth.

Streeler Stealer [Challenge: Wis]: [d80: 41] + 12 = 53 Prize Tickets

Seems like luck was on her side today as she ended up winning 53 tickets on her first try!

CHALICE CHOICE

Rafael left snitch snatch with pride in his eyes as the attendant looked at him in shock. He approached the next booth before noticing a girl with a load of tickets pondering the question of where she possibly got so many tickets.

Chalice Choice [Challenge: Wis]: [d80: 60] + 13 = 73 Prize Tickets

He had yet to get a answer from the girl but ended up doing excellent and wining 73 tickets for himself.

ARCANE PLANE

Pamela had ran into the boy asking her where she got all her tickets for as she kindly explained to him she won it at chalice choice before bidding farewell and heading towards her next booth.

Airplane Toss [Challenge: Arc]: [d80: 64] + 11 = 75 Prize Tickets

seems her winning streak kept coming as she ended up winning 75 tickets to add to her already growing collection of tickets.

DIADEM TOSS

Maisie with a smile on her face as she just had won a huge amount of ticket on her first time, she approached diadem toss her inner Ravenclaw calling out to her to play it.

Diadem Toss [Challenge: Acc]: [d80: 40] + 14 = 54 Prize Tickets

seems like her luck was doing pretty well this time around as she managed to win herself 54 tickets!

The area was filled with laughter as after Alphonse “allowed” Geneviève to win teased her mentioning how he didn’t want to get on her bad side before heading with her to another booth.

Diadem Toss [Safe]: 50 Prize Tickets

He played diadem toss safe and cautious which paid off as he ended up getting 50 tickets.

The excitement that feeler Kanae never left her body as she continued wondering through the carnival after winning 55 ticket on her first game wondering what her next game would be, before the glimmering of the diadem caught her eye attracting her to the booth.

Diadem Toss [Challenge: Acc]: [d80: 66] + 16 = 80 Prize Tickets

Seems like her excitement was helping her in some way as she ended up winning 80 tickets on this game what luck!

The stadium was louder than Mikey had been expecting. Music, talk, the game booths all just got mixed together until the air itself hummed. He'd never actually been to a carnival in his life and his eyes kept dropping on things, the swinging ladders, the strobing lights, the crazy basilisk ride that made him happy he'd not consumed anything solid for breakfast.

He elbowed his way through the throng, KodoPodo's having created a peculiar tingling on top of his shoulder, until he came to the booth of games that filled Snitch Snatch stall. The gold specks streaming through the air caught his attention at once, a flash of wing and sparkle that zig and zip as if it had a life of its own. Quidditch was his sport. flying he enjoyed, chasing the golden snitch up and down the pitch? There was something about the challenge that appealed to him.

Raised eyebrows from the operators at the stand greeted him as he stepped up. Mikey swallowed, rolling up his sleeves just so they would not roll off over his hands. His eyes stayed fixed on the Snitch, following its wild flight as if it were a puzzle he could decipher if only, he focused harder.

“Alright,” he muttered under his breath, more to himself than anyone else. His wand hand twitched at his side, though no spell would help here—just reflexes, patience, and maybe a bit of luck. He set his feet, leaned forward slightly, and grinned faintly despite the nerves. “I’ll give it a go.”

The shell shufflers hand lifted and..... behold! A whole bunch of tickets! 53 in total! It definitely wasn't the highest amount but it was a damn good start. Asara did a little happy dance on the spot and stuffed them into her overall pockets.

"Thank you!", she lightly yelled at the shuffler. Well, it was a good indoor voice for a child at any rate.

She giggled and hopped and danced until the line worker gently led her away. She still had more rounds, 4 more shots if she stayed focussed. Asara zyoomed back and forth, darting about while trying to choose. She knew her next two would be the ladders or the basilisk. And then she'd have to think again for the last two if she still had the time.

She had so much energy! Now that she thought of it, hadn't that sign said the ladders were made off of the Hogwarts stairs? They looked loads of fun and they were perfect practise for when she started. It was just a month away, she was sure. And this way she'd be prepared.

Asara bounced on the spot a moment and decided. That was it! The Discombobuladder!

She ran over and watched the other students play while she waited in line.

There were two paths, the safe way, where either you hit the red button or you didn't, or the challenge way, where you got more tickets the faster and better you climbed, so long as you pressed the red button. She'd try her luck and and go the hard way. She'd have to deal with the real thing soon, and Pa said not even first years got off for being late, not even if the got stuck in the vanishing step! Better to start sooner than later.

As her turn came up she grinned at the line manager.

"The Challenge Path please!"

Nick bounced up and down with the biggest brightest smile on his face after he left the game, truth be told he was really out of breath from running back and forth but by Merlin that was such a fun game to play.

As much as he wanted to go right back in there and go one more time, he decided to graciously grab his tickets and stuff them in his pocket before running for the next game he could enjoy. Although there were quite a few games he hadn't yet enjoyed, there was one that caught his eye almost immediately.

"Arcane Plane..." Nick mumbled as he read the name on the sign. Now that sounded interesting.

The Arcane Plane game. Nick was already familiar with folding paper into many different things, he was a lover of origami for years now, since the very first time his Godmother taught him how to do it, folding a paper couldn't be any harder than making a dragon out of paper or a swan, he was more than confident in his skills for that!

So he rushed over, already eager to show off his skills, he already had so many tickets, he was so close to his goal! And he wanted to have some more fun of course.

♕- Afternoon of Aug. 28th, 2025 | Carnival Games, London Quidditch Stadium -♕

Pathetic, is what it was.

Geneviève was kicking his ass—no doubt about it. Rightfully, she'd gloat, and Alphonse couldn't help but cackle along at his pride's expense.

"Yeah, yeah," Alphonse rattled with mock frustration and dismissive wave, "I'm being a gentleman and letting you win. That's all."

It was far from true, and they both knew it. Yet, Alphonse didn't mind the teasing, challenge, or her company.

His gaze focused in on a game requiring a bit more muscle—a shoe-in for a boy of his talents. He was a Beater for Ilvermorny, and Alphonse decided it was time to reveal why that was.

"Let's try this one," the boy chimed, spotting a game that depicted a scene akin to right out of one of those fantasy storybooks his brother Briar occasionally read. A dark gaze observed others attempting Godric's Might as the couple waited in line. It appeared easy enough—lifting a sword from an anvil. But looks could be deceiving, and Alphonse knew better than to goad too early on.

His gaze roved the other patrons and games, and eventually spotted Siobhan again. A smile touched his lips after observing the brunette in a state of joy. Hopefully, the Hogwarts girl was doing better at these games than he.

"After this, one more game? Then maybe some ice cream or something?" Alphonse suggested, turning his focus back to Geneviève.

calming presence

It seemed Lucille's budding nausea was more of an advantage than a hindrance. It was more caused by a tiny bit of nervousness, but when she was on the ladders, it all seemed to disappear. Lucille jumped from ladder to ladder, her stomach seeming to roll with every leap. But it felt more like the feeling one gets on a roller coaster, a bit ticklish, instead of the nervousness she had felt before.

It was exhilarating, and by the time Lucille reached the top and slammed the red button, she was a bit red in the face. Her mad dash had apparently worked out well, and when she stepped off, she was surprised to receive 80 tickets. 80! That was the highest you could go! She accepted them, still a little surprised at her valiant effort.

Wiping sweat off her brow, Lucille knew her next game certainly wouldn't be quite so active. She surveyed the grounds, wondering what it could be. Her eyes landed on the Whack-a-Gnome game. Perhaps not the calmest game in the grounds, but Lucille didn't want to do something boring. Instead, she figured whacking some gnomes wouldn't be too difficult. She would just have to stand in one place, after all, and rely on her reflexes.

Although the girl's excitement hadn't dimmed, it seemed her energy had. As she approached the game, she wasn't so restless as she had been before. In fact, she was already beginning to think about what she would eat later. As she approached the game, she cleared her mind. Game first, food later. Just because she was getting tired didn't mean she didn't want to experience as many games as possible.
