[halforc]

[ He trots up to tap-tap experimentally too, wondering how it runs without candles beneath the floor ... Wizard stuff, probably. Fjord activates his screen and it screeches music choices that have him blinking widely, swiping through.

He picks beginner mode, because skeeball was a lesson learned. ]

Okay, I think mine's ready.

[devilstongue]

[ Molly's tail flicks as the music turns on, and he looks over the machine curiously. He can't read the music choices or the level, so he just picks the same as Fjord. ]

Alright! Let's do this!

[ Grinning, he presses his foot down to start. ]

[halforc]

[ Fjord goes for it. He hurries up and it isn't too hard with his long legs (14 dex!) but it takes a lot of effort and he's puffing halfway through when he glances over to see how Molly's doing. ]

[devilstongue]

[ Molly's happily hopping around, tail swishing and horn jewelry clinking. With a natural 19 for 22, he's not having much of an issue at all as he tries to follow the steps. It's not perfect at all because he doesn't quite know what he's doing, but he's excited and beaming at the screen - and then sneaking an eye to Fjord with a chuckle. ]

Come on!

[halforc]

I'm doing it, I'm doing it!

[ It's good fun, exhausting though it becomes (12, 8 con roll +4) in the second half. He leans forward on the handlebar to catch his breath and watches as Molly dances around on the spot, a smile on his face at the sight of him enjoying himself. His own score starts to go down but he points to Molly's. ]

Go for it, Molly, you're doing great! Don't stop!

[devilstongue]

[ Molly keeps going, less graceful this time but his con is holding up at 14 and his dex at 16. He's laughing, messing up a bit here and there but just enjoying all of it.

When it starts going seriously fast he can only keep up for a few more steps before he gives up and just dances with the music. It makes his point go down a bit more, but it doesn't matter. He still gets a heap of tickets and a good workout.

Flopping over the handlebar, Molly groans with a big smile. ]

That was crazy!

[halforc]

Yeaaah! Woo! Look at all those tickets!

[ Laughing as he cheers on Molly's victory, he steps down to let on some bystanders and collects the pitiful two tickets from his own machine, gathering up all of them to stuff into his hoodie pockets.

He offers him a hand down. ]

Now you have to let me choose a game.

[devilstongue]

[ Molly's a little wobbly as he steps down with the half-orc's help, and it was a blessing he wasn't in his coat today. Either way, it makes a perfect excuse to lean to Fjord, though, and he leans up to kiss that bearded cheek. ]

Okay, that's fair. Pick something.

[halforc]

[ Something where they can cool off, hmm ... ]

I saw something when I scoped this place out, it looked amazing. Let's see if it's free.

[ With an arm draped around Molly's shoulders, he leads him through the labyrinth to a pair of garishly coloured motorbikes, the screen showing people riding them. His eyes light up at Molly. ]

Technically it's a rest if we're sitting down.

[devilstongue]

[ Molly is loving this, leaning against his lover as they walk towards the next game. He can't really stop smiling, enjoying just hanging out like this. Most of the stuff in this place had to do with sex, and while Molly adores that, this is...

...this is real.

Moving over to the wheel seats, he inspects them and then mimics the person on the screen that was sitting on it. ]

This is interesting.

[halforc]

I want one of these. Do you think the Augur could whip one up?

[ Throwing a leg over the seat, he uses his device to activate the machines for both of them (Fjord is paying for the date today, for everything, because that's what you do) and scrolls through the options for his vehicle. He picks out a big blue one that looks nothing like the tropical monstrosity upon which he's sat, then finds a fun looking racecourse. ]

[devilstongue]

An actual one, like on the screen? Maybe?

[ He's not sure how long it would take for Fjord to fall off a real one, but he could figure out that bet with Beau.

It also doesn't really occur to Molly that they're paying for things, since he's so used to actual people to tip at fairs. (And laugh at non-carnies with.) Even so, just taking him to this place is quite possibly the most thoughtful thing he could think of, because it's so... them.

Mulling through the race choices, he finds a smaller white vehicle to pick, since smaller should be faster, right? ]

[halforc]

How hard can it be to control? It's right between my legs!

[ He gives a wink that is neither smooth or tries to be, distracted by the screen counting down a moment later. Three, two ... one!

Fjord leans side to side with the bike and revs the handlebars to their max, hooting as his pixellated proxy screeches around corners in sprays of grinding metal. His enthusiasm and attention to the screen pays off (18 dex!!) and even though his bike creaks with his weight he's able to stay on the tracks. ]

This is fucking awesome, we have to bring the others here to try this!

[devilstongue]

[ Molly snorts at that and then focuses on the screen. He jumps a bit in surprise as the bike rumbles under him, and then they're off! The tiefling is amazed at the speed - not even frightened horses run as fast as these things! He turns and wobbles and laughs and then leans way too far - slipping off the seat. (Thank you, nat 1.) ]

Whoa!

[ Still laughing, he picks himself off the floor before yelling at Fjord. ]

Avenge me!

[halforc]

Are you okay? Shit!

[ Hooting with laughter as Molly climbs up to cheer him on, Fjord tilts with every bend to win the game. He comes third which is not too shabby and punches the air as the screen erupts with a little celebration. ]

Yes! Yes! Suck it!

[ Molly better watch out otherwise he'll get dragged into a happy cuddle against the bike. ]

[devilstongue]

[ He continues to cheer Fjord on as the race goes on with him, joining his date in the air punching once he places 3rd.

Molly has no intention of resisting being dragged into a cuddle, and places a kiss to those green lips with a smile. ]

Well done! We should definitely show these to the others, I want to see how long it takes for Beau to break it.

[halforc]

Ha! Five seconds, probably.

[ As he rises off the bike to collect their tickets, he keeps an arm draped around Molly's shoulders. ]

Damn, I could go for a snack now. You want to grab something?

[devilstongue]

Mmm, I could go for something. [ He says, thoughtfully. ] It's a fair, right? It must have fair food!

[ At least in some way? Sticks of meat, caramel apples... in one village they had wonderfully crispy and sweet dough things that looked like a mess of snakes, he loved those. ]

[halforc]

Kind of like a fair, yeah. I wonder what people eat at the fancy version like this ... Let's ask.

[ Fjord asks one of the robots behind a ticket exchange where to buy food and is directed to a set of 80's vending machines full of junk food ... and a hot popcorn one. ]

Molly! Hey, do you want some of this? Salted, right?

[ Salted popcorn is probably the least sugary thing on offer, unless the tiefling takes the hot toffee option on top. ]

[devilstongue]

[ He follows along curiously to see what they have, and since Molly doesn't have a huge sweet-tooth like Jester, salted (spicy!) sounds great. ]

Oh, yes! That's the corn thing, it's great!

[ It could be filling, too. They'll need something to drink with it, though, so he checks those food machines curiously. One of them has drinks. ]

Wow, that bottle is greener than your Eldritch Blast. Are these even drinkable?

[halforc]

Must be. Ooo, get me that green one, yes, I've got that old eldritch thirst going on.

[ He pays for a hot salty popcorn and various chocolate snacks, rolls, and crisps. Whatever Molly wants, Fjord leans over to pay for with a tap from his device. ]

[devilstongue]

[ Molly snickers at that, trying to figure out how to work the machine before he manages to get two drinks out by paying with his thing as well. It makes him stop for a moment, and then turns to hand the green drink to Fjord - his own is a purple one, because of course. ]

Have you been paying for all these games we've played?

[ He asks, quirking a brow. It made a lot more sense, but rules in this place were weird and lots of things were free.

...it definitely doesn't stop him from getting anything that looks weird or funny from the food vending machines with Fjord, though. ]

[halforc]

[ Rising with all of Molly's weird purchases from the vending machine, he huffs as though the answer is obvious. ]

Yes, of course. I asked you on a date, remember.

[ With armfuls of snacks, he flashes Molly a smile and pecks him on the lips, then looks around for somewhere they can crash and pig out for lunch. ]

[devilstongue]

[ Molly laughs at that, tail giving a happy swish at the peck, and then 'helps' by carrying the drinks. ]

That's part of it? [ He hums, curious as they find a nice seat. ]

Careful, though. One might take advantage.

[halforc]

Wanting to eat a lot isn't taking advantage.

[ He finds some wooden benches with tables outside and heads over there, setting up their heart-attack picnic. ]

We've got a lot of tickets but I bet we can get more. If you have enough you can exchange them for one of the prizes at the main booth.
