Hm? oh--!

[ And Natalia definitely did not get a response before getting pulled over to the Hoopla game. She looks at it and tilts her head ]

I've never seen this before. How do you play?

[secretmiracle]

Oh, I think I've seen something like this before! You take one of these hopes, hope as hard as you can... And see how many prizes you can knock over!

[The sprite running the stall gives her an odd look and then kindly decides to demonstrate how to play, taking one of the hoops and slipping it over one of the prizes.]

Ah... There is also that way of playing!

[ofnobleheart]

[ Natalia looks at the game for a moment. ]

Hmm... Allow me to try, if I may.

[ As the Sprite gives her a hoops she hopes as hard as she cans and--

does how Erica does it and knocks one over. ]

[secretmiracle]

You did it! And on your first try too, that was very impressive. What do you think?

[She looks at the sprite who just... Looks back. That isn't how you play the game, why are you getting excited?]

I think they're so surprised that you managed to knock one over on your first try that they don't know what they should say! [No. No that isn't it.]

[ofnobleheart]

[ Natalia clasps her hands together ]

I didn't think I would achieve victorious on the first try! [ No. No you didn't Natalia. Just look at the sprite's face ]

Though I don't see there to be any need to be so speechless. I'm sure there are others who would have done the same. [ no pretty sure it's just you and Erica ]

[secretmiracle]

You must have a natural talent for games like this! Now, your prize...

[The sprite looks a little worried now. She didn't win, and now the girl is expecting a prize. Would saying no be fair, during a celebration like that? Before the sprite can come up with a response, Erica nods her head and speaks up.]

Ahah, now I think they want you to knock some more off. They'll have to give you a prize if you knock off another one. [NO the game isn't difficult, why are you knocking them off?]

[ofnobleheart]

Hmm.. It seem you are correct [ no she's not ] I'll try again.

[ So she does what she needs to get another shot and by pure accident does it correctly instead of just knocking the doll off ]

[secretmiracle]

[Shocking. The sprite needs to take a moment before realising that Natalia actually managed to play the game properly.]

You were very close. But to hit a prize like that is very impressive in its own way! [Oh of course, now she's thinking that she hasn't won. Well the sprite starts quickly heading over to the hooped prize so he can hand it over-] Perhaps you can get a bonus prize for having the hoop land that way.

[... Bonus prize??? The poor sprite is utterly baffled. With a sigh, the sprite gathers up both of the prizes Natalia hit/hooped and hands them over to her with the best smile the sprite can put on.]

[ofnobleheart]

Hmm, I suppose you're right. Perhaps if I ever play this again I'll have better luck.

[ Seeing that the sprite begrudgingly agreed to the 'bonus prize' she smiles back and takes the prizes. ]

Thank you. I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening.

[ Just as long as no more people like Natalia and Erica come along right ]
