Children. The bane of Luca’s existence, honestly, but he supposed Bianca was kind of adorable when she was silent and completely still. But naturally, bringing a four year old to a big carnival, he should have known she’d be anything but. And people said babysitting was easy. He’d been chasing after the hyperactive, hopped up on sugar, nonstop chatty child all over the carnival grounds, truly getting in his cardio for the day, before she’d finally decided that running was boring and she wanted on some rides. He’d found the slowest one, but still the longest running one, and placed her in one of the cars, telling the operator that she’d ride as long as she wanted to. Standing by the ride, waving with feigned excitement each time she came around, his gaze turned to the person standing nearby. “I wish I had the energy of a four year old, fuck,” he muttered, turning his gaze back to the ride. “The amount of things I’d get done in one day would blow your mind.”

When the doors to the carnival grounds closed each night, people would pile into the bars in the surrounding area to continue the festivities and Althea, well, she was no different. Granted, she had no festivities to celebrate and she hadn’t taken part in anything related to the spring fest so far, but getting absolutely shitfaced when you had nothing to lose anymore was something she could get behind. She’d already had three drinks, a terrible amount for the petite blonde, and was gesturing for the bartender to fill up her glass a fourth time, the man giving her a look of pure pity. She narrowed her eyes into a glare that surely could kill if looks had that much power, fingers quickly wrapping around the glass and pulling it toward her. “Give me a fucking break, you ain’t doing much better yourself,” she muttered in response, despite knowing she looked like a total mess; smudged make-up from spending the night before crying and her hair in a messy bun, the only thing decent about her her clothes. Turning around to head back over to her table, she crashed into someone, dropping the newly filled drink on the floor, the glass shattering. “Watch where you’re going, jesus christ.”

A loud laugh escaped Mia’s lips as she went down the inflatable slide that she was, honestly, way too old for but there hadn’t been a single person in sight and no operator to stop her – so where could the harm possibly be? She only realized as she came down the slide that she wasn’t alone, eyes immediately widening as she looked at the people going by. “This is not what it looks like,” she said, to no one in particular, but for good measure in case anyone was going to scowl her for taking advantage of the free kids’ slide. “Whatever you saw, just pretend you didn’t.” Not a good look for the Devinstone Fire Dept. lieutenant, oops.

Looking up at the Ferris wheel Calum wanted to go on it but he was terrified of heights. Everything around was pretty much all heights or kids rides. “See... I want to ride that but the chances of me vomiting is high.” Pausing he grimaced, “Or having a break down on it. Both are bad options.” Looking behind him at the games booths set up he nodded towards them, “Keep me company and I’ll pay for you to play?” Calum had more than enough money to do that and the Scotman was tired of being alone today.

The Virginia Slim dangled out of her mouth precariously as she tried in vain to light it. It was quite a sight to see: Senator Drake’s daughter messing with a faulty lighter behind one of the festival tents. With a frustrated growl, she tossed the lighter to the ground, watching it bounce on the spring grass at her feet. The blonde’s sudden presence prompted Genevieve to stand up straight, and she couldn’t help but glare suspiciously. “Can I help you?” She paused, and decided that yes, she was that desperate enough to ask, “Actually, can you help me? I need a light.”

“i’m so sorry!” alessandra exclaimed, everything she carried was falling on the ground, when she noticed what she had bumped into, more like who. she tried to make the most of every minute spent at the festival after a long day at work and it always consisted of bringing as many memories and gifts as possible. it was as though she was hoarding surprises for all the non-existent children in her entourage. in reality, she would spend the next couple of days watching the colorful ballons shrink, she would try to find a spot for each and every plush toys and, most importantly, she would go on a strict diet hoping to survive through all her trips to the food trucks. this was most probably her most epic visit to the carnival, since her arms were so filled with stuff that she barely saw where she was going. she zizag walked towards the gates and everything seemed to be fine, until she was convinced she had bumped some fence. she could not have been more wrong.

“i challenged myself to do it all in one ride, i should have known better.” she shrugged in an apologetic manner and tried to gather her belongings. the balloons neatly tied around her wrists were certainly not helping. instead, she attempted to make the situation as less awkward as possible, so, with a smile, she shared her idea. “do you want a balloon or a stuffed animal? just pick your favorite color and it’s yours.”

“I’d feel like dropping dead if this wasn’t such a tacky place to die.” It’s horrifically morbid thought to have at such a cheerful event, but Genevieve was an expert at killing the mood when she wasn’t feeling it. Sandrine’s presence made it bearable, but Genevieve was in dire need of entertainment better than what the town had to offer. “Think you could win me that stuffed unicorn?” she challenged, pointing to the ring toss booth’s top prize. Not that Genevieve actually wanted it; she got off on messing with Sandrine. “I’ve never had a unicorn before. It’s tragic.”
