he idled through the carnival , stopping at booths here and there. gave prizes to kids. lost too much money. during his time , he moved from ring toss to darts to water guns ..... and tina stayed at the cans. apparently she had a hell of an arm on her and a vendetta against tin. who'd of guessed ?? walking over , he stole a glance out of the corner of his eye. " trying out for the softball team ?? " he asked , voice wry.

Tina turned to look at who had spoken to her. Jeremy Gilbert. Not the audience she had aimed for but he would do. " They would only be so lucky." However Tina was not really a team kind of person. She was not somone who shared the spotlight. It had to solely be on her. " Care to compete with me ? Or are you to scared I'll demolish you ?" Male ego could be so fragile.

Sure he was a sore loser but he would be damned if he lost to someone half his size. She was a tiny thing compared to him and he felt better about losing not once but three times to her. And he'd be damned if he didn't win that damn bear for Lydia - knowing she would probably be happy to have it, he thought. "Beginner's luck" he muttered quietly

[vitriolicfell]

" Looks like someone is a poor loser." It did make the victory sweeter. "I won't tell the rest of the lacrosse team that I demolished you !" That was a lie. Tina would brag about it to anyone within ear range. Even the non receptive ones.

lettie had been passing by right as the game ended. the ringing of a bell to signal a winner caught her attention, and her gaze drifted over to the blonde who caught in the throes of celebration. it took a second, but the face quickly registered in her mind. a fell. she wasn't sure which, but lettie had seen this girl as she stalked researched the family. slowly moving forward to get closer, lettie cocked her head to the side and pretended to look at the game. "looks like you're real good at this. you play a lot?"

[vitriolicfell]

Tina turned to register the other girl. " Thanks." She replied with a smile. She loved compliments. " Not really." Unlike many things in her life, she had not practised for carnival games. Not having seen the use or anticipated that it could be a way to dominate others. " I guess I'm just naturally great." All the pent up rage and anger was more likely a better explanation.

"wow. that's a lot of confidence you got there. congratulations." vanessa felt decently confident that she could do better, but she had been trained in hitting targets since she old enough to hold a projectile. "hey, wait. are you a fell?" her father had mentioned there may be a new fell face to get used to when they handled council work.

[vitriolicfell]

" Thank you." Tina revered in the compliment. She was vain like that. " Yes. Yes I am." She was not surprised someone recognised her or her family. They were an household name. They owned like half the town and there were plethora of them. " I'm Tina." She specified. Not wanting to be mistaken for one of the numerous blond Fell around.

"humble and good at knocking down cans. you've got a lot going for you." violeta had been on her way past when a curtain of blonde hair had almost smacked her in the face. carnival games weren't really her style, and she didn't win enough to gloat. to each their own?

[vitriolicfell]

" I know thank you ! I'm the whole package !" She pretended not to hear the sarcasm in Violeta's words. " Care for some lessons ? They come for free." Tina liked feeling superior to others.

[vitriolicfell]

would you have preferred to stay in the dark about the supernatural?

" Yes of course." The knowledge had only ruined her life so far. Firstly by scaring her. Secondly by forcing responsibilities she did not want onto her. Thirdly by making her feel foolish for all of the things she had cared about prior to the moment she had became aware of vampire existence. And that she still kind of cared about. It seemed silly to want to win the popularity contest while people were dying and yet she still did. It added an horrible layer of disconnect to her long list of issues.

She also hated the fact that if she pushed through all the anger she might come to see that cursed knowledge as an opportunity for power. Something that truly set her apart from her pears. A sort of vip exclusive club from hell.

how do you feel about losing miss mystic to caroline?

There was not a single word that could describe how Tina felt about that. It was not just miss Mystic Falls. The pain ran way deeper than that. The town was not big enough for three blonde founders' daughters. All of her life, she had competed against Caroline and Elena and failed. One was sweet and adored and the other was clever and devastatingly beautiful. Tina was stunning. Her mother's perfect porcelain doll. Everyone could see it. However there was nothing special about her apart from her effortless barbie sheath.

Which had made losing the futile pageant, all the more devastating. Her parents had forced her to compete the same year as Caroline and Elena while Tina had strategically planned to wait a year so the competition would not be as strong. So she entered the contest with only her beauty and family name and that had not proved enough for the judges. The loss had sent her spiralling. It had taken her weeks to recover. Despite all the confidence and strength she always projected, she was but an insecure little girl at heart craving attention and validation. Thinking the world owed it to her because she was a Fell.

" I wish she would choke on her sash. That's how I feel about it." Despite the polite smile and applause she had given at the time to save face.

closed starter for @violetfells

Tina was struggling to find the right outfit to go out to the carnival. She wanted something that would draw attention to her without seeming like she was trying to draw that attention. It was very difficult. One had to thread carefully. It was getting late and there was already a massive amount of clothes on her bed. The reject pile. She kept tossing items aside. She was looking for a specific blue top. She had not seen it in a while. Could its disappearance have a simple explanation ? That explanation was likely living next door.

Tina barged into her sister's room. "VI HAVE YOU STOLEN MY SHIRT AGAIN ?"

Tina used to love the carnival. Any event was her time to shine. However that year it had kind of lost its appeal. It made her so angry. As usual, she resented her parents for pulling her into the dark side of Mystic Falls. She would have gladly kept leading her attention seeking, competitive and carefree life. Instead she was stuck with terrible knowledge and so few people to share that burden with.

Like a stable and totally not emotionally unstable person, she was taking her anger, frustration and agression on target attractions. It felt so good knocking down cans. Again and again. Tina eventually forgot about her troubles. " YES ! I win. Again !" She flipped her hair and was that close to do a celebratory dance. " This is how this is done people !"

[wakeupstiles]

"No, no--I mean I'm sure it's totally normal to have a bunch of bodies mysteriously turning up drained of blood. Happens all the time in other towns, you know, animals just...do that, they bite people and....suck the blood out..." he hardly get the words out with a straight face. "I'm just saying, it's weird. I don't know any mountain lions personally, but I've never heard of one leaving the body afterwords. The point is kind of to eat it."

[vitriolicfell]

" People don't care about hearing about your crazy conspiracy theories." She shot him a contemptuous glare. She hoped that her little unimpressed mean girl act would be enough to deter him. He could not know how close he was to to truth. A few weeks ago Tina would simply have made fun of him but everything had changed. She now had to play her part in making sure what should be a secret actually remained secret. " You look like those weirdos on tiktok."
