Winter Carnival | All Day | The Park | January 31 [Post #1]

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

It was a new day and there was no better way to start a new day than with the continuation of the carnival. There was still snow coating the ground but the atmosphere was as lively as ever. With cream-colored decorations and twinkling lights, the Student Council had aimed for a winter wonderland kind of theme, and the snow simply added to the effect. Thankfully, the day was turning out to be warmer, so those who were going to be outside all day wouldn't freeze. Once the finishing touches were done, the carnival was open for business.

"A good teeth-scrubbing later, and it should be normal," Karla teased. "So, there's one way you can get it to stay, but I don't think anyone will be willing to stand near while you explain."

"I don't think I'd want to stand near me then," Jonas said, making a face. "I promise to give my teeth a goods scrubbing later. As fun as a purple tongue is, I wouldn't want it to be permanent if it drove everyone away."

"Wise male," Karla said, winking. "Have you tried other carnival treats yet? There are so many good ones, even if they don't change the color of your tongue."

She shivered a bit. A Sno-Cone really wasn't the best wintertime treat. "We could get cider? Oh! And fritters! And maybe some friend dough."

Now Karla seemed intent on teaching Jonas about bellyaches.

"I had a funnel cake," he shared, nodding in the direction of that booth. "And Beka suggested apple fritters so I had one of those too."

Amazing that he didn't get stomachaches more often.

"I haven't had the cider yet," he said, shaking his head and looking interested. "Or the fried dough. I want to try everything."

"Me too!"

Never mind that she already had tried everything yesterday. She wanted to try it all again.

"Cider first?" she suggested. "You can get it mulled or cold, but the mulled cider will keep us warm as we wait in line for the rest. My treat! It's for your education."

"Mulled it is," Jonas said, nodding. "Lead the way. I look forward to the experience."

Karla headed over to the table set up with warm drinks and ladled them out big cups of mulled cider. "I don't know if you've had regular cider," she said, passing his cup over, "but mulled means it's been warmed and spiced. Usually nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves, with a bit of something zesty in it to keep it refreshing, like a bit of orange or lemon."

She took a sip of hers and smiled. "I feel warmer already," she said, cradling her cup in her hands. "Now for refreshments. See anything you particularly want to try?"

Jonas cradled the cup loosely in one hand, eyes scanning over the various foods. He actually had no clue what he wanted mostly because a lot of these weren't familiar.

"I actually don't know," he admitted, shrugging. Eventually, his eyes found that popcorn. "Perhaps that?"

"Popcorn is good," Karla said. "Fun to eat, too. Let's see...popcorn and fried dough? One with sauce and one with sugar, so you can try it both ways?"
