Luceti Land!!

[lucetimods]

Who: luceti
What: Amusement Parking!
When: Today til the end of the month
Where: A veritable pleasure island, east of the Beach Fort.
Summary: An amusement park has popped up in Luceti. It's all over here.
Rating: F is for friends who do stuff together!

Just some notes here not in the mod post -
1) The weather will be bright and partly cloudy for the rest of the month on the beach side of things. A nice cool sea breeze will keep people from melting out there.
2) All the old Luceti Land rides are still available. However, feel free to make up your own attractions and rides as well.
3) Since this is around for two weeks, we may put up another mass log if this one gets too full. So keep an eye on that!
4) Don't forget to tag your character's name on to the log! If you don't have one yet, just let us know and we'll get you hooked up.

As way of explanation for all this, Bil will have written a message on the first page of the journals. It cannot be replied to, it simply states:

"My condolences for all the trouble. You were due for an experiment today, but I thought you might enjoy an amusement park instead. It seemed like the sort of thing the Great One would do."

All right.

[Grune gives over a token, receives her rings, and gives the first one a toss. It falls short by a good distance.]

Oops. Oh well.

[whatdeheckisdat]

[Sigh. Dhaos tosses his second ring, this time with a little more conviction. Score! He just needs one more, and Grune will have +1 plushie. Because there's no way Dhaos is carrying anything like that around.]

Try again.

[lostinmyway]

All right.

[She tosses one more time…and doesn't even come close.]

Hmm.

[whatdeheckisdat]

[...Sigh. Again. Demon King to the rescue.

Dhaos tosses his last ring and scores. Hooray! Grune gets a plushie! ...Hm.]

...Which one do you want?

[lostinmyway]

Hmm.... [Grune surveys the plushies, then points.] Can I have that one?

[Just guess who it's shaped as. Just guess.]

[whatdeheckisdat]

[...For the umpteenth time, Dhaos should really have seen that coming. He has to admit that he is a little surprised she'd want one of those specifically, however.

The droid running the game doesn't wait for Dhaos' approval-- it takes the plushie down and hands it to Grune at once. Great. ...Now to attempt leaving before she can coax him into winning her another one. He takes her hand and gives it another tug.]

We should move on.

[lostinmyway]

[Grune cuddles Dhaos close--the plushie, that is. He's so cosy!

...And then she notices she still has a hand full.] Oh, but I haven't tossed my last ring yet.

[whatdeheckisdat]

[...Curses.]

...Then try once more.

[lostinmyway]

[And so she does!

...At least this one lands in the general area of the target?]

Hmm. Oh well.

[whatdeheckisdat]

[...Well, it was worth a shot. Or no, it wasn't, there was no way she was going to win, but as long as she's happy.]

...We should probably refrain from playing these games anymore.

[lostinmyway]

Why? They're so much fun!

[Aaaaaaand she's handing over another token.]

[whatdeheckisdat]

[...GRUNE.]

If you spend all of your tokens in one place, you will use them all before you get to see anything else.

[lostinmyway]

[She considers this.]

Hmm. I think I'll play just one more time, then. I need to win you a prize, too.

[whatdeheckisdat]

There is no need. [And she'll probably just lose again, anyway.]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, but I want to. I need to say thank you for your present to me.

[She smiles down at the plushie.]

[whatdeheckisdat]

...Your words are enough.

[Or you could thank him by choosing a different plushie.]

[lostinmyway]

[Touched, she looks up at him, her smile both widening and becoming a little softer.]

I'm still going to try my best.

[whatdeheckisdat]

[...Don't make him sigh again, Grune. At that look, Dhaos relents.]

...Then go ahead.

[lostinmyway]

All right.

[For a very long moment, Grune simply…looks at the target. Dhaos would be forgiven for thinking she's spaced out on him. Then, seemingly without much recognition of her actions, she gives her ring a toss.

Bullseye.]

[whatdeheckisdat]

[Blink. That's new.]

...Good job.

[It was probably a fluke :|]

[lostinmyway]

[Grune doesn't respond. Once again, she stares at the target for quite some time, then mechanically tosses her ring.

Bullseye again.]

[whatdeheckisdat]

[Stare. Long stare. Two in a row is luckier than even Grune could be, and that was no small feat.

Dhaos doesn't really want to tell her 'good job' again. So he'll just... frown and stare some more. Grune suddenly got really got at this game.]

[lostinmyway]

[One more time, and Grune gets a bullseye for the third and final time.

When she registers there are no longer any rings in her hand, she blinks and comes back to herself.]

Oh, is the game finished?

[whatdeheckisdat]

[...Wow.

Dhaos is almost relieved when Grune is suddenly back to asking absentminded questions. It was starting to get a little unnerving, frankly...]

..Yes. I believe you won. [Rather decisively.]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, good. [She smiles up at him.] Now you can get a prize, too.
