HAPPY NEW YEAR'S AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

[trollingismagic.insanejournal.com]

[ Best wishes from Bermuda Isle!



A number of booths have sprung up near the shoreline, enticing you to don yourself in the colorful festive garb of a true Bermuda native! Unwind from your day and come out to see what's offered. ♥ There are all sorts of delicious foods and snacks, and plenty of souvenirs. It's time to ring in the New Year of 2012! Lanterns have been strung up, and the snow seems to have stopped. In fact, no snow is to be seen near the site of the festival itself. Oddly, the booths are all run by strange black goatlike creatures in finely tailored suits...

The catch is, unless you sneak in, you have to come with a friend or a date! So find someone to go in with you! ♥ You may even catch a glimpse of Eureka as she wanders the festival... ]

Just a lot of practice from throwing bombs. Tossing rings is a pretty different motion, but this I can do.

[Applejack gives the goat a suspicious look, but then nudges Fluttershy and heads inside.]

This place is weird...

[ponycereal.insanejournal.com]

We -- The girls 'n I. -- kinda... er... wrecked the whole party...

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[This lady was surely a daredevil.]

...Could you teach me sometime? [pause] Just--not with bombs.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[Nope, just a Shiba.]

Sure. Heh... Bombs aren't good for practice throwing anyway. Too dangerous.

[At least she believes in some kind of safety precautions.]

[Thank goodness for him~]

[Nods] I agree.

[Nods] I agree.

[She just sort of stares for a moment as she debates using this patsy to break down the gate (by throwing him at it) or using him to get in to the festival through non-violent methodology.

... It takes a bit of debate but she decides on the latter.]

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[She picks up another ball and smiles.]

Just watch.

You've gotta keep your arm straight. It's all about the spin on the ball.

[She throws it, and it goes into the 50 again.]

It takes some practice, but you've just gotta figure out where you want it to go and how to get it there.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[He watches her carefully, taking mental notes of her instruction.]

So, you control the ball so it doesn't go off target?

[seolfor.insanejournal.com]

[patiently waiting for you! poking a little at the outskirts on his own, but with the way Gai dresses, he's not easy to miss.]

[morelikegoldkai.insanejournal.com]

[It sure isn't. That's why she comes up behind him and claps him on the shoulder.]

Finally found you.

[seolfor.insanejournal.com]

[he still jumps!]

Luka-san. I was wondering if anyone else was here! I'm glad to see you, though.

[morelikegoldkai.insanejournal.com]

Oh so you didn't come with the others?
Because, no, nobody else is here. And I've been stuck for days.

[seolfor.insanejournal.com]

Nope, just me. Maybe they got lost? The navigator is right here, after all. [grins]

[morelikegoldkai.insanejournal.com]

Hmph. The boys can navigate on their own. I think we're the ones lost.

[seolfor.insanejournal.com]

Mm, probably. It happens, sometimes! [stretching and looking at the little festival]

Maybe we can check around and have a little fun while we wait for them to double back and find us?

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Pretty much! You just gotta get it so it's not gonna turn!

Unless you want it to turn, but that's mostly for showing off or strategy. For something like this, it's best to just get it straight.

[morelikegoldkai.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, might as well. Nothing else to do around here.

[Luca starts walking towards the festival, without even waiting for Gai. So when she gets there ahead of him, the Goat Butlers are like "nope"]

Hey! What gives!?

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[He gets a new ball and with all the strength he could, he throws it and lands in the 15 spot this time. He sighs, but turns and gives her a weak smile. He wasn't very good, but that didn't mean he was going to be gloomy about it.]

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[Kukaku grins and musses his hair.]

See! You're gettin' better already! You'll be a pro in no time!

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

But, I only went up by five points. I didn't get as high as you did.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Tch! That's because I've got at least a hundred years worth of practice on you!

You're just getting started! You can't get discouraged, or you won't ever get higher!

[She throws her fist in the air and grins.]

Don't be afraid! Doubts only lead to regrets!

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[He smiles appreciatively]

Okay, I'll keep practicing to get better.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

That's the spirit! You find somethin' you wanna do, and o it 'till you kick ass at it!
