where: near the face painting booth status: open

""What kind of face painting do you think they do?" Naya asked curiously as she finished up her drink; nonalcoholic, as the woman was on high alert out of professional courtesy. "Cause I could definitely go for a tiger, or maybe a panda. Or is it super optimistic of me to hope that I could somehow get you to put some face paint on so we can hit up the photo booth next? I'm thinking we need something Barbenheimer-ish."

where - in line for the ferris wheel

Not that she'd admit it out loud, but Celeste was a bit afraid of heights. But that said, she'd never ridden a ferris wheel before, and now that night had fallen and everything was all lit up, she couldn't deny that she wanted to try it and see everything from high up. So after a few drinks to calm her nerves at one of the drink booths, she plucked up the courage to get in line- but as she got up closer to the front, she started getting more and more nervous....

Looking to the person behind her, she bit her lip, giving them a tentative little smile. "I'll literally buy you a drink or cotton candy or just give you ten bucks if you're willing to get on with me."

event starter: @gavin-carrigan location: a quieter corner of the carnival

ari was never actually sure gavin ever liked or not. now, it was understandable if he didn't. but back then, when he and aylin first got together, he tried his best to get on gavin's good side. he wasn't sure how much aylin had told him about the couples situation, but he was sure it was enough that the man wouldn't be too thrilled to see him. so, when he finally catches sight of the familiar man, ari isn't too sure what to do apart from offering a small awkward wave of his hand across the crowd. he'd let gavin decide if he had any interest in talking to ari right now.

where - by one of the food stalls

Liza had always enjoyed events like this, remembering them fondly growing up, spending summer nights with her sister and her parents. And now that she was going to be a mom herself, she was looking forward to getting to share these experiences and make these memories with her own daughter. And while she couldn't ride most of the rides, she could eat all the food--and given that she was five months pregnant, she was always hungry at this point.

Which is why while Sterling and Sunny were off somewhere else, she was looking over some food options now, her hand absently running over her bump in the dress she was wearing, biting her lip. "Now see, do we want nachos, or do we want pizza?" She wondered aloud before turning to the person nearest to her and when she realized she somewhat recognized him, she smiled. "What food options are you leaning towards?"

Was this a better idea in theory? It was a romantic notion in his head, but when he looked over at Lemie, she was clinging on for dear life. It would have been funny if she didn't look like she might throw him out the carriage for laughing at her. Actually, it was still a little funny. "Come on, it'll be fun." He scooted over to her as the carnival worker locked them into place.

where- by the funhouse

Growing up, Emerson had always loved the annual carnival the town did. It was one of the few times she got to get lost in a crowd and feel normal, to not have a proverbial sign on her back labelling her and her brother as outsiders. But, well...clearly the carnival had had some upgrades since she'd last attended it over four years ago.

"What exactly is a funhouse? Because..well...I have to say, the entrance being a giant clown mouth doesn't exactly scream fun to me.."

CLOSED STARTER for @diegomartinezz

“It’s a nice summer thing, huh? A band-aid over the wounds inflicted by 2023 thus far, but a fun one, at least. I don’t think I’ve, uh — ever gone to a carnival before,” Finn guiltily admits, leaning against the pier railing. “Something about rides set up overnight freaks me out enough, and I tend to avoid anything resembling a screaming metal death trap. Even the tea cups.” And this is merely an attempt to start up a conversation, looking to Diego after he'd found him in the late afternoon of the carnival festivities.

"I am not a fan of corn dogs, but the cotton candy here is fantastic. Has Isabella lost her mind over the sugar content yet?"

Camille was no stranger to venturing to events alone. It was her me time and she'd usually meet with Raleigh at some point only and if her sister had decided to come out. She enjoyed her own company and that's all that mattered to her. Being alone also ensured any type of adventure to happen, if she chose to go along on one.

The ferris wheel called her name as she stared up towards it. It was a bit past sunset. The sky was at that point of different mixtures of colors. Hues of pink, orange, blue and purple filled the sky. She had to look past the safety risk. It would be worth it. She marched on into the line with her eyes on the Ferris wheel still. This was self care.

And there it was. A familiar voice. No fucking way. Her eyes averted to the person next to her as she turned for a full view. Jared Evans. Her nose flared a bit in annoyance. Out of everyone in the whole town, it would be that her luck to run into him. "I'm surprised to see you here." She was. This was not in her plans. "How did those flowers pan out for you?" She was curious, but she wasn't ready to face the mystery girl if he was with her. They hadn't even had their coffee yet which she had time to prepare for and now she had to wing it.

event starter: @lemielewis location: looking for a table to sit at

it was like circling a carpark for a spot, pacing around the sitting area waiting for a table to free up. connie's legs were killing her, taking an excuse to get out of the house and move her feet a little too far, now all she wanted to do was sit down. perching her hands on her hips, the lawyer lifts up onto her toes to survey the crowd, the concept of rest slowly slipping away. "damn tourists..." she mutters, not realising she was in earshot of another.

it'd been a week since eric last saw scott. after the grand unraveling of the events that brought both of them to aurora bay. after he brought up hannah, and the photo on cherry's instagram was shown, eric couldn't handle it anymore. quietly, he excuse himself and asked if they could talk another day. but 'another day' never seemed to come, until now it seemed. he see's his brother across the crowd in front of the bumper cars, and knows he can't turn around now.

the carnival w/ @callme-harris

Luciana sits down on the grass, placing her hands on her legs as she glances around her. She takes in the laughter and the sight, a small smile curving her features. She lifts her head up when someone stands in front of her, a laugh leaving her. "Hey." She clears her throat. "Were you trying to get my attention? I was just watching how happy everyone is." She shakes her head. "That's kind of silly, huh?"

Who: @nayaxtanglao

With Isabella nudging him to pick her up and put her down every two seconds the male was already over this public function. It was his job to be grumpy and Isabella simply didn't want to let it happen! As he waited in line to buy Isabella some cotton candy the male eyes scanned the area and stopped on a familiar brunette. He missed Naya a lot, and since she entered his life again, everything felt slightly better. "Hello there!" He said waving at her.

the carnival w/ @jordanmitchell

Christina stands by the ice cream stand, her son bouncing up and down next to her as he tugs on the end of her shirt to ramble about all the different flavors he wants to get. She chuckles as she looks down at him. "I think if you got all the flavors you want, the scoops would be soooo tall you'd never get through it." He tries to argue with her until the other blonde comes into view, causing him to launch himself towards the other. "Jordan!!" He screams and grabs her hand. "Come, we're getting ice cream." Christina laughs, lifting her eyes up toward Jordan. "If you aren't busy, you're free to join us in line."

After Axel accused Emira of telling people about their situation as it turned into an argument, it didn't take them long to get back to their normal selves. It was more of Axel brushing off talking about it more in depth leaving Emira questioning and overthinking, but they really did need to be less obvious. Sipping on the summer cocktail that she bought, she licked her lips and turned to look over at the live band playing. "They're not bad," she said, her hips swaying just a little bit to the beat of the music as she stood next to Axel. "What do you want to do after we finish our drinks?"

jude rests in a half lean/half sit against his bike, grabbing from relief from the crowd and the screams of the young people on the many rides. he'd seen all he needed to see, ate some food, it was time for a smoke in peace. or, at least somewhat in peace. a blonde woman had returned to the vehicle parked next to him, and for a moment he wonders why on earth she looked so familiar. he couldn't quite put a name to it, maybe he serviced her vehicle? "not trynna, be creepy, promise" the mechanic chuckles gently, cupping a hand over his cigarette he was trying to light, thinking she might of caught on his inquisitive looks. "you look familiar, was trying to figure out where i know you from. if at all."

where - around the game booths

Since Liza couldn't ride the rides, she enjoyed her time at the carnival eating all the food she could and playing the games. Like now, she'd just won the water gun contest and she cheered excitedly, grinning as she won two little stuffed lions ("one for you and one for your baby!" the girl running the booth exclaimed). But as sweet as that was, Liza felt bad having two for herself, so when she saw a woman walking by with a little boy she quickly walked over, holding them both out.

"Hi there! Couuuuld I maybe offer you one of these?" She asked the little boy, giving a kind smile to the woman holding his hand as she held out the little blue lion and the little orange one, figuring he could pick. "You'd really be doing me a favor, I don't think I can handle both all by myself."
