Jack Thompson: smirking Look at us, back at a carnival. How many years since college?
squints 8 years, huh? Damn, time flies when you're having fun. So, what do you think about the game?
I'm sorry I don't pay attention much
rolls eyes playfully Well, you better start paying attention, Glider. This is like those old carnival games where they make you jump for a prize. And trust me, there's a prize worth jumping for here.
grins mischievously Alright, Glider, listen up. The trick to winning at this game is all about timing and precision. You gotta time your jumps just right, hit the sweet spot, and grab that prize. It's like a perfect strike in a game of darts. Got any tricks up your sleeve like that?
chuckles Well, lucky for you, I happen to have a few tricks up my sleeve. Watch closely, Glider, as I show you the move that'll make you a carnival pro in no time!
sweeps his arm across the area in front of him, making a sweeping gesture Alright, Glider, watch and learn!
starts performing acrobatic flips and spins, jumping from one moving ride to another with precision and grace
pops up from behind a tent, grinning mischievously Ta-da! That, my friend, is the art of distraction. By keeping them guessing, I create the perfect opportunity to sneak past and snatch that prize. Now, your turn! Show me what you've got!
I'm not very good at this sorta thing..I'm really clumsy..
While attempting to mimic Jack's acrobatic moves, MoonbeamGlider accidentally trips and falls, causing a loud commotion and drawing the attention of everyone at the carnival
bursts into laughter Hahaha, Glider, you're a natural! Look at the crowd, they're eating it up! You've got them all talking. That's the power of entertainment, my friend. Now, let's keep the momentum going. I've got another trick that'll have them gasping. Watch closely...
winks and chuckles Falling is part of the act, Glider. Embrace the chaos and let it fuel your performance.
tries to do what Jack did but isn't very successful and trips and falls onto the ground
laughs heartily Well, well, Glider, looks like you've found your calling! You've got the crowd in stitches! Just remember, it's all about timing and precision. Keep practicing, and you'll be jumping like a pro in no time!
gets up and then gets back in line behind Jack
leans in close to MoonbeamGlider, whispering conspiratorially Alright, Glider, here's the next move. We're going to pull off the ultimate carnival trick. Watch closely...
sneaks behind a stack of hay and snatches a plush toy from a basket Now, watch as I hide this toy in plain sight.
swiftly moves to the cotton candy stand and hides the plush toy inside the machine, making it look seamless Perfect. Now, Glider, your turn.
I don't know if I can pull that off..
smirks and winks Trust me, Glider, you've got more potential than you realize. Just remember, it's all about quick hands and even quicker thinking.
attempts to put the toy in the machine but fails as the person working the stand catches them trying
steps forward, distracting the person working the stand Ah, just making sure you're taking good care of those fluffy treats. Wouldn't want any...unpleasantness to occur, now would we? Person Working Stand: distracted What do you mean by unpleasantness?
uses the distraction to quickly run over to the machine and put the toy in
turns back to the person working the stand, leaning in close and speaking in a low voice Now, my friend, let's keep this between us. A little "kickback" if you will. winks
they both get the bag of cotton candy and leave the carnival
grabs MoonbeamGlider's arm and pulls them towards the exit Come on, Glider, we've got to make our escape before anyone catches on.
k-kal imitation cotton candy offers it to Jack
takes a bite of the imitation cotton candy and grimaces Ugh, Glider, what on earth made you think I'd settle for subpar sweets?
waves his hand dismissively No, no, Glider, don't waste your time with this swill. We need to find a real sweet shop, one that serves the good stuff.
