Homecoming Carnival Post I [The Park, Saturday, October 20, 2012]

[glacial_queen]

Today, when all the children awoke in their beds, they would discover a most joyous occasion! There was a carnival in town! A carnival just for them! All the rides and events were all child-safe and kid-friendly. Even the thematic decorations had become kiddified; no worries about nightmares from this little guy, huh? Didn't he look like fun? Don't you just want to give him a hug?

As for any remaining adults on the island, well...there was still a carnival, okay? Sure, the rides were a lot tamer and a lot brighter and you were possibly too tall to ride the them, but it was still a carnival! A carnival soon to be filled with the loud laughter of many, many children all hyped up on drinks and food that all listed 'sugar' as their prime ingredient!

Truly, this was a day of fun and laughter for all! And probably a night filled with headaches and belly-aches for most!

Huzzah!

Food and Drink

[glacial_queen]

It was a carnival, so of course there were plenty of totes moddable carnival foods to nom on! Cotton candy, caramel apples, kettle corn, cookies, milkshakes, soda, sundaes, fried dough, funnel cakes...the works!

There was also heartier fare, on the off chance someone got sick just eating candy. Pizza, burgers, and peanut butter and jelly were available, too. Delicious!

...There were also some foods around for the grownups (like vegetables, eeeew!), but who cared about all that stuff?

Guess what! Stacey didn't have diabetes when she was six!

She had pizza in front of her that she was ignoring for the moment because she also had cotton candy, and everybody knew dessert was the best part anyway.

Hanna was here for the funnel cake. It was a special treat for finishing her caramel apple. It was a fruit! Totally healthy.

Foooooooooood!

Where else was Momoko supposed to go? She munched on a corndog and wandered around, trying to remember.

Ok, maybe she was more thinking about the other food booths and maybe the rides and oooh, there was GAMES...?!

"CORNDOGS AND POPCORN AND COTTON CANDY AND THEN ALL THE RIDES--"

Luke rubbed his forehead. "Juliet, you don't need to yell all day long."

"It's 9 o'clock."

"Thank you, Juliet," Luke sighed. Of all the weekends for his father to turn ten...

Tables

[glacial_queen]

While there were some adult-sized tables around, complete with glittery plastic tablecloths emblazoned with the cuddlewolf, most of the tables were wee and awesome. They came with their own umbrellas and were attached to plastic sandboxes filled with sand and sand toys! Feel free to play and eat at the same time--a little clean sand in your food never hurt anyone.

April was not enjoying this one bit. It was sunny, there were other children present, and lots of the other children were loud and annoying. Plus the food here wasn't even all that good. Where were the rice and beans?

She was going to give a long, hard look to anyone who tried to play with the sand at her table, thanks. There would be no sandboxing here if she had anything to say about it. This was a table of dignity.

Wesley wasn't a child this weekend and he wasn't really one for carnival games under ordinary circumstances, so he thought he might sit out the activities and keep to a (normal-height, thank you) table instead. It was a bit loud, though, so he didn't expect to stay out for very long. Living in a mostly-abandoned hotel really spoiled a guy.

After getting some food Naomi made her way to one of the tables, for the moment she was happy to just and watch what was happening at the carnival.

Kenzi was taking advantage of all the food. Because she was too big for the pony rides, damnit.

Rides

[glacial_queen]

Everyone's favorite part of the carnival!

Bumper Cars!

[glacial_queen]

Bumper cars! Sized for kids and adults alike!

Merry-Go-Round

[glacial_queen]

Another favorite ride for all ages!

Roller Coaster

[glacial_queen]

Worried that the wee tinies would mean a boring carnival? Fear not! There was a roller coaster set up for riding!

...No one over 5 feet admitted, please.

Ferris Wheel

[glacial_queen]

Don't worry, kids. This ferris wheel doesn't go very high!

Bouncy Castle

[glacial_queen]

A wolf-inspired Bouncy Castle? Okay, so it was more 'puppy' than 'wolf,' but it was in the Homecoming spirit, okay?

Pony Rides

[glacial_queen]

Lots of ponies to ride at several different locations around the park. More ponies mean fewer lines, yay!

Tilt-A-Whirl

[glacial_queen]

This ride might be best for the bigger kids.

Ride the Train

[glacial_queen]

There's a track going all around the park. All aboard the fun train!

Paddle Boats

[glacial_queen]

Paddle around the duck pond like the prettiest waterfowl of them all--the swan!

...Swimmies must be worn at all times by kids aged 10 and under!

Fun House

[glacial_queen]

An epic fun house to climb around in, complete with fun features like: rope ladders, crazy mirrors, a barrel-roll tunnel, slides, and, of course, a giant ball pit at the bottom.

Games and Amusements

[glacial_queen]

Look, kids need a lot of entertaining. Apparently.

Bobbing for Apples

[glacial_queen]

It was a game that involved getting kids to ear real fruit! No downsides!

Whack-A-Gremlin

[glacial_queen]

With big, fuzzy mallets, this game is safe for kids and still fun for adults!

OOC

[glacial_queen]

Many thanks to apocalipped for cropping the new, kid-friendly Homecoming icon.

...It really does have Derek's eyebrows, no?
