she would bow to no one

Aaron couldn’t remember the last time he’d been to a fair. His parents had always been too busy to take them to any events that weren’t work-related. The one time that a nanny had attempted to take the Champion children to something as commonplace as a fair, she had been reprimanded, but for those few hours when the children had been allowed to simply be children, had been some of the best of Ronnie’s childhood. Now, he tried his best to be as indulgent as possible, as long as it didn’t get in the way of work, which was why he was currently shoving fried oreos into his mouth and fending off quizzical looks from those around him. “I know what you’re thinking,” he began, gesturing to the butterfly adorning his face like a mask. “Face paint isn’t for adults, and usually I’d agree, but when a six-year-old asks you to ‘get one too’ saying no is an asshole move and I’m many things, but an asshole to a child is not one of them.” 

Her gaze had came to fall on a slightly familiar face adorned with bright colors and a rather large amount of glitter as Priscilla sat and took in the sites. She’d stared a moment too long because before she looked away he had noticed and spoke up. “Oh do you now,” Priscilla prompted when he mentioned knowing what she was thinking. She couldn’t hold back a pleased smile as he explained and once he had she shook her head slightly. “Actually I was going to ask where I could get one of my own,” she answered her face not betraying even the slightest flicker of emotion that could make him think she was joking. Her features conveyed an entirely serious conviction.

“I probably wouldn’t head back there if I were you,” Thea warned a passerby who had walked into the direction of quite a sight as she took a seat on a nearby bench, looking for a quiet place to light a cigarette. “A couple obviously got a little too hot and heavy on the ferris wheel or something. You might witness something you can never un-see.”

Not really paying much mind to where she was headed Priscilla was surprised when someone warned her as she walked. “Is that so? I’ve certainly seen plenty already so I suppose I can’t say I’m surprised. People are odd.”

“I’m probably going to feel sick in the morning,” Christian mumbled around a mouthful of cotton candy. He’d only been at the fair for a few hours but so far he’d had more than just a few cotton candies, funnel cakes, and slushies. Considering the fact that he wasn’t 16 anymore, he was amazed that he wasn’t feeling sick to his stomach right now, but he’d always believed that the best part of fairs was the food and what was the point of being there if he wasn’t going to indulge? “But cotton candy is essentially God’s gift so I can’t even begin to feel sorry.”

Priscilla very nearly didn’t hear the familiar mumble as she sat at the table watching everyone around her. She hadn’t even noticed Christian at her side. She’d gotten lost in a few vague memories of her brother and how he had snuck her off to carnivals whenever he had the chance. “Is that what god has given us? Spun sugar? Perhaps that’s why he has let so many other things fall to the wayside,” Priscilla joked in response as she turned to face him. Her eyes held just a flicker of the haunted sort of look she often got when her brother came to mind. “I think my stomach would protest if I even attempted to eat that. I don’t know how you do it.”

ethanchambers:

“Yeah, well… that was supposed to be you. But I got stuck with that guy instead. And the entire time, he kept making gagging noises. Didn’t help.” Ethan didn’t need to turn around to see it in order to believe it. He was surprised the guy didn’t get sick mid-ride.

“I don’t do festival rides. I was merely entertaining the idea and as expected I rejected it,” Priscilla justified. “I do apologize for making you deal with his behavior,” she tacked as she wrinkled her nose in distaste at the man behind them. “How about we find a spot to sit and enjoy the people watching until you feel better.”

Rowan laughed “impressive will be a bit too much, don’t you think? And well no, actually this is the first time I had the balls to participate on one of this, actually, I’m not sure if I have it on me to do it again, my stomach can go through that one more time, but it was definitely fun.” He would actually do it again for the screams and the cheering if there weren’t so many hot dogs standing in the way. “So are you having fun?”

“Perhaps but I certainly couldn’t do that. I’d say luck was on your side and could continue to be but I’m glad you haven’t decided to make a profession of it,” Priscilla answered with a smirk. “Fun. Now there’s a word that does not usually describe me. I can’t say I’m truly having fun to the best of my ability but I do like the people watching. This is all very charming.”

ethanchambers:

“’Come on! It’ll be fun!’” Ethan mocked his company, shutting his eyes a moment and gently shaking his head with a light groan. He couldn’t even walk that far from the exit gate, everything still feeling like it was shifting around him. Apparently, festival rides were not meant for him. “Ugh, I hate you right now…” Ethan tried to breathe through his nose slowly, hoping the motion sickness would pass quickly. “…I’m good, I’m good.”

“I tried to tell you that it wouldn’t be fun at all, detective,” Priscilla commented as she moved to walk at his side. She’d seen the person he’d gone on the ride with stop to throw up a few steps back. “You’re friend is back there by the way. Wasn’t very fun for him either it seems.”

The moment his lips left the beer bottle, Hari could finally put his thought into action. “Oh, hey there.” Hari had reached for the other person’s shoulder with his spare hand. Having seen them walking in his direction, he purposefully turned away from his ‘date’. She was talking to a craft stall attendant. So, he whispered to the other. “Met this girl on Tinder. She’s very boring. Please. Take me away now.” He lifted the bottle, and offered in a normal volume. “Do you want one?” 

Surprised and not entirely pleased with the sudden feeling of a hand on her shoulder Priscilla pulled away from the touch but still listened as the man spoke. “I’ll help you but please don’t touch me again,” Priscilla answered lowly before plastering on a winning smile. Pretending to be someone else was something she was well trained in. “Not quite but I have been meaning to speak to you about something. Can we walk,” she prompted making sure her tone was friendly and compelling before she began to move without waiting for an answer.

Rowan could feel the rush, he was about to win the food competition, it was not something that would get him a story in a tech magazine, no, but unlike the rest he could hear people cheering up for him and the hype on that was something he hadn’t felt before, or at least not something he could remember. He felt like the rock star he likes to pretend he was in the shower when he sang. 

When the bell rang after finishing the last piece and everybody applauding him, and wooing excitedly, making him a hype of happiness that was rather hard to control. Rowan raised his arms “Yeaaah! A free beer for everyone heeere!” He probably didn’t think about it, but it wasn’t like he couldn’t afford it, he was feeling so amazing he would do anything to make it last a bit longer, he got down taking a bottle of water to try to take a sit, “I can’t believe I just did that.”

“Impressive,” Priscilla commented as Rowan moved to sit and she took the seat across from him. After watching the event she found rather over the top she couldn’t help but notice how excited he seemed. Maybe there was something fun about this whole odd contest. At least people seemed to be enjoying themselves. “I can’t say I expected this to be what you did in your free time but as long as you’re having fun then who am I to judge.”

Arcturus: Have you cried out of something other than sadness?

“Well crying was not something that went well in my household growing up. You were meant to maintain composure which usually meant crying was only done when everything got to be too overwhelming. So yes I’ve cried out of frustration many times. More so than sadness.”

Shea’s eyebrow raised amused to the person opposite her. She shuffled the cards in her hands with a soft smile. “I don’t know why you are giving me that look I just asked if you’d like a tarot card reading”

“I’m just surprised that this hasn’t come up before. I didn’t know tarot cards were included in your many talents and it’s not something I would have expected,” Priscilla explained as she composed her face surprised that it had betrayed her so much. She was usually in control of even minute movements in her expression. It was odd to be so easy to read. “Okay let’s do this. Why not,” she agreed with a shrug after her own brief pause.

“That’s a really good question,” she began, offering a small smile to the other woman. “I don’t think I need one, I’m pretty sure I cannot sue what did this to me.” She shrugged, before letting out a chuckle. Eleanor nodded at her theory, it was remarkably close to what had happened. “Almost,” she paused to take a deep breath. “I wasn’t eating lunch and it was only one, a pigeon actually, that out of nowhere flew straight into my eye.” The story itself was ridiculous and every time she told it she couldn’t help but laugh. “So, do you think I could sue the pigeon?”

Her theory seemed probable with the birds they saw around the beaches and whatnot but Priscilla was still surprised to find that it was nearly correct. “Well I think perhaps this time it may have been an accident by the sounds of it. You could try to get him on drunk flying but you’d have to find him first. Seems like too much hassle to me. More effort than it’s worth in the end. Besides I don’t see many birds losing their cases sadly. In fact they don’t make it to court at all usually. Sneaky bastards.”

vanessashaw:

“Four seasons and God knows how many episodes of the Good Wife in and I still don’t know when lawyers are trying to help me or screw me over.” Vanessa sighed heavily as she shook her head and downed her sorrows with a tequila shot. “Anyway, how’s your night going? Better than mine, I hope.”

“Oh it’s quite alright. Nothing special though,” Priscilla answered as her lips curled into the slightest smirk of amusement as she considered the first comments. “I think I’ve come to like just how much confusion television shows can cause about my profession. I mean some people deserve to feel conflicted about us, you know? It keeps them in check.”
