Gandrell was getting more and more annoyed by the inconsiderate shenanigans of some people. The vampire put himself physically between the inhumanly tall man and Rayna. He would only move if Rayna told him it was alright and then he would stand down. His instincts were on high alert and it was making him uncomfortable. Then, to make matters more ridiculous, someone's dog was now loose in their booth. What in the absolute hell was going on here?
Some guy started addressing the disruptive animal and Gandrell's piercing blue eyes focused on him. "Get your animal away from this booth or I'm calling animal control." Ella seemed to have intervened with the dog situation, which gave Gandrell the time he needed to make a call. He dialed quickly and waited while it rang.
"Hello? Security? Hi. I am one of the volunteers at the kissing booth and we have a loose dog running around. No it doesn't seem to be aggressive, but people have left the booth because of its presence. Can you remove it and call animal control? Yes. Sounds good. Thank you." Gandrell hung up and looked at Ella, "Keep it calm, if you can. Security is on their way to take it to the pound."
With his phone still in hand he sighed, Sadie was standing in for Cami but they were down a male. Everything seems to hit the fan at once. He dialed another number and waited while it rang. "Hey! Are you in your costume yet? Could you come help me? I'm at the carnival. Yeah, working a booth. Will you come? Yeah? Great. If you use your motorcycle, park it by my car. It's in the very front. Vendor parking. See you soon. I appreciate you."
Dog was dealt with. Replacements dealt with. There better be no more monkey business.

Heather quickly ran in with a leash and collar, she ran up to thor "there you are buddy!" she had been taking him on a walk when he got spooked "sorry everyone! We were going on a walk and something spook him, and he tugged back and the collar slipped off and he ran off!" she chuckled "hey don't call animal control, he won't hurt anyone, he's the best dog ever" she narrowed her eyes at gandrell, she knelt down and petted thor "its okay buddy, lets take you back to daddy" she whispered softly to him
Kai looked at heather "he's a really good dog" he smiled softly "ella was helping me with him, but he wasn't being a bother at all, he was just sitting here being a good boy" he said as he petted thor on the head
Heather gave a smile and nodded "thank you" she looked at ella and smiled "thank you for being considerate, he won't hurt a fly unless he is protectiong someone from getting hurt" she nodded, before walking off with thor quickly to get him away from gandrell

He saw Heather and immediately jumped up and ran to her side whining happily. Once he reached her, he would run around her and jump up to her.
Meph hung up the phone and finished lacing the string on the sandal around his leg. He had chosen the Spartan costume from the movie 300 and didn't realize just how revealing it was until he stood in front of a mirror. He was clad in nothing but what could be considered a leather diaper and a long blood red cape that was held on by two thick leather straps that went under his arms. His chest, arms and legs were fully exposed. He had second thoughts about his costume choice for a moment. He looked just like he could have been one of the Spartans from the movie. With a slight nod of his head he went to help his friend at the carnival.
Walking through the carnival grounds, people kept stopping and asking if they could take pictures with him. He didn't mind but it made him feel weird he was getting so much attention. He heard thumping music and headed towards it. He spotted Gand in his Phantom outfit and some other people hanging around. His eyes trailed up to the marque and he stopped in his tracks. A kissing booth? Good lord what was he in for?
He made his to the booth and headed towards Gandrell. "I'm here." Meph was invited into the kissing booth and was explained the rules. Now, he waited for something to happen. He admired the people around him: a priest, two devils (one a female, one a male), a mermaid, a ringmaster, a pirate, a princess, and his friend the phantom. It was never a dull moment.

He looked down at the vampire and he merely perked a brow. It was clear he was confused by why this vampire was in front of him. "Did I cut the line or something?" He would lift his hands palms up signifying his utter confusion.
It would be after he remembered the blonde woman calling him "Goliath" which would make him think back on the Bible story of David and Goliath which would make him shake his head before walking away. "We'll do something else, Mathius..."

Ella smiled at Kai, quickly noticing his nervousness as he spoke to her. He was blushing and sounded like he was startstruck by her beauty, a fact that made her giggle. I should never underestimate the power of wearing a priest robe ever again. She thought with amusement. When Kai stated that the dog wasn't his, concern clearly flashed in her deep blue gaze as she gently pet the dog. "The dog was next in line of the kissing booth?" She repeated, a funny smile to her lips. She found the fact the man decided to respect the dog's turn in the line pretty bizarre but also pretty amusing. "That's nice of you. I suppose only dog owners carry dog treats on them even when out to a carnival." She shrugged. "I'm a cat mom, so.. no treats on me." She said, lowering her gaze to the dog again and still rubbing behind the dog's ears hoping to make sure he didn't run away again.
Then she lifted her gaze back to Kai as he spoke. The guy seemed to be pretty concerned about her safety, although she quickly recognised the nervous ramble, because it often happened to her as well. "Ow.." She said softly when he commented that he didn't have any friends to come to this event with. "Well, there's plenty of cool people in here, I'm sure you'll end up making plenty of friends." She added offering a smile. "I came here with my brother, the devil over there." She tilted her head in Darian's direction. "But you really don't need to worry about my safety, the Lord's always with me!" She joked, gesturing at her attire, since she was in a priest costume. She didn't mean to be disrespectful to religion this time around, in fact she did believe in god. This was just a joke to hopefully ease his nerves.
"Did you get your tickets for the booth? Plenty of good kissers here. The volunteers are the woman dressed as a ringnaster, the phantom guy, the pirate, the masked princess and-.." Just then she saw Little Red ridding hood leaving with Rowdy. "And those to who just stepped out.." She shrugged a bit. "Still you get plenty to pick." She smiled.
Then Gandrell came over. Despite the chaos of the situation he looked rather calm and confident, that was always reassuring. She nodded at his instruction. "It should be no trouble, he's a good boy." She smiled, still crouching by the dog. Gandrell was occupied making phone calls, likely trying to restore some order in the booth and Ella quietly smiled at the sight. He had everything under control.
Then a girl rushed in carrying a collar and a leash and Ella sighed in relief. "Hey! It's okay, we got him." She nodded with a smile, letting the dog go to his owner. She would stand up again then and nodded at Kai's words. "Yeah, he wasn't aggressive or anything, it is clear he's a good boy. Gandrell was just calling security for your dog's safety and ours too, so please don't hold it against him. He was doing what was best for all." She would say to Heather with a smile and then she'd wave goodbye to her and the dog.
"So... did you see anyone you like for a kiss?" She asked Kai. "They're all very pretty, both the boys and the girls." She smiled.

Kai looked at the women "oh...i don't know i never really kissed anyone before, I'm single and never dated before. Females make me...nervous as you could probably tell " he chuckled
Gandrell took in a long breath to bring himself back to his center. There was too much stupid shit going on. And in the flurry of too much at once, he appeared to have come off as a jerk. He addressed the giant Drael, "If you wish to kiss someone, kiss someone. But they have the right to refuse." Gandrell stepped out of the way of the giant guy and went to deal with other things.
He wanted to go back to Ella, they had been in the middle of a rather intimate moment when all hell broke loose, but she seemed busy with the dog guy. To his relief, Meph had arrived and Gandrell went to greet him and give him the lay of the land. Gandrell knew Meph wasn't all that social, so he let Meph find a comfortable corner and get settled. Meph was also offered water, which he accepted.
With Ella being busy, he headed over to Sadie and Undertow. "I would like you to meet my friend, Meph. He's rather shy, but he'll talk if you ask him direct questions." He then addressed Sadie, "Did you need something to clean your hands with? I saw your palms were cut when you fell."

There was literally nothing funnier to Rayna than Dean’s reaction to Sadie’s fall. Although she was begging herself not to laugh, the instant she and Dean made eye contact, she absolutely lost it. Laughter burst from her chest as she watched her best friends antics, and couldn’t help it. “I literally cannot take you anywhere, can I?”
Before she could help clean him up, Dean was kissing her again, in ways she wasn’t soon to forget. At his words, she grinned. “Then I’ll be sure to collect many flavours for you later.” With another kiss, Aubree and Dean were leaving, which left Rayna hanging out in her corner along for a moment or two.
It wasn’t long before others began to arrive, and one of them had to be the size of a literal mountain. She blinked several times as she looked him up and down, curious how anyone was actually supposed to kiss him. Before Rayna could move, Gandrell approached the two, and his comment made her giggle. Lurch and Lurches pet dragon. Rayna thought that was hilarious and giggled into her cup. Before she could realize exactly who the two had intended, an on the loose animal darted in.
The antics may have been cute, she thought, as the dog tried to secure a ticket, and while she didn’t have a personal problem with dogs, there was no way that this was the proper place for him. “Uhh, did someone….lose him?” She asked around, looking to each person, but then a guy started talking to the dog. Weird, but okay.
When the woman came in to claim the dog, she wasn’t sure it would be enough. Her sharp ears had already caught the call that Gandrell had made, isolating the voices of Animal Control. Looking to the woman who seemed to be glaring at Gandrell, she cleared her throat and spoke directly to her; “Don’t blame him. We wouldn’t have had to call them if the dog was properly secured. You never know who might be allergic or frightened of loose animals. We don’t know his temperament. Please take him out of here.” Rayna thought it was a simple request, but she said it in such a firm tone that it couldn’t be denied.
As for Drael, who had indicated her, she sighed as dark eyes looked over at him. He was at least, minimum, three feet taller than her, which forced her to tilt her head back to look at him. When he asked if he had cut the line, Gandrell informed him that if he wanted a kiss, he could have one. Rayna supposed that meant her, and she went to take over the interaction. Rayna sighed gently as she stepped forward, literally looking up at him, her head nearly tilted back. “I’m not going to lie here. I’m not even sure how this is supposed to work. You are….massive, and I’m not sure I could reach you if I tried.”

There seemed to be a lot happening all at once. Meph had just arrived but from the general feel of the booth, everyone seemed frazzled and put off. Meph wasn't a big talker. What he was, was a watcher and a strategist. He analyzed situations based on body language and vocal tones, then he pulled in environmental factors and he could usually figure out what was going on. There was a pissed off lady with a dog. Her anger was projected at Gandrell. She ran up holding a leash, which would mean she was irresponsibly allowing her pet to run around a populated area with no leash. That was actually illegal. Gandrell was right to alert the authorities.
Next he observed an impossibly tall fellow holding out a ticket while Gandrell walked away from him. Judging by Gandrell's body language, this guy and his friend must have offended someone for Gand to be so agitated. Gandrell was usually accepting of all. Meph would keep an eye on these guys. Especially since Rayna, who he did know from around. They sometimes ran together in the mornings. She was a friend and he would be watching out for her.
He also caught Gandrell's look towards the woman in the priest garb and puzzled. It wasn't like Gandrell to be so enamored with someone. Now he was curious. Meph slowly approached the priest and the gentleman standing outside the booth. He swallowed hard, his face showing some discomfort as he addressed the pair, "Excuse me." He then addressed the priest alone, "You chose an interesting costume. I'm curious. Are you mocking the church or are you in admiration of it?"

As she looked around the chaotic scens before her, Sadie didn't know what to start with be could tell there was so much uncomfortable vibes. She looked to Undertow and whispered, "This seems like a ship wreck waiting to happen." And laughed at the dog that came out of no where, the odd pair that walked up to them, and a woman that seemed to be looking for something. She was not sure what she should do but knew something needed to be done.
From the corner of her eye she saw the phantom walking over with a giant spartan, well looks like a replacement for the lazy wolf is here. She was thinking to herself. She seemed to still have the Pirate's drink in her hand so she took another swig as they approached. She smiled friendly as they were introduced to, Meph, her smile grew a little when she heard Gandrell say that Meph was kind of shy. "Hey, Meph. I am Sadie. It's nice to have you here." She stuck out her hand, offering a friendly handshake with her bright smile. Although, she just got to the volunteered side it was still good seeing more people come along.
She then heard Gandrell say something about her hand, and looked towards him. "Yes, please. Possibly a wet nap to clean it off some." She knew her hand was healed, just like her ankle was before she got off the ground, but for appearances sake she would accept. She then thought of something, and turned to Undertow. "You seem to know my name, but can I have yours? Or is it super secret?" She chuckled as she finished with"I mean if you play your cards right, there might be a possibility of me screaming it later." Sadie winked at him suggestively and smiled her mischievous chesire grin, followed by handing him the drink that was his own before taking another swig as she handed it over. She then turned to the crowd and surveyed the area, she noticed the new guy Meph was already doing some damage control from one of the guys that was making people uncomfortable, especially Ella. She unconsciously stepped closer to Undertow, sort of like a comfort for her and waited for what would come next.

Ella blinked a bit surprised about Kai's comment on how he had never kissed anyone before. Her smile was a bit tight when he called women 'females', that was an odd choice of a word, a bit too clinical, and kinda gave away that he really was not accustomed to talk to girls. "Oookay." She said, nodding thoughtfully and rubbing at her chin. She could hardly keep her eyes from following the Phantom across the room, but blinking a bit she tried to keep her focus. "And I suppose the boys are out of the question?" She shrugged, giving Kai a quizzical glance and then rubbing at her arms.
"To be completely honest, I'm not quite sure a kissing booth is the best place to get a first kiss. I mean, the kiss is probably going to be perfect, but if it is something meaningful you're looking for..." She shrugged a bit. Eyeing at the volunteers again Ella noticed Sadie standing amongst them and then smiled. "But if you're here just for the funsies, I think the demon girl over there joined the volunteers in the booth. Maybe she would be just the right person to bring you out of your shell? She'll totally rock your world, I guarantee." She offered, though it really wasn't her place to give the newcomers these sort of advice, she was very much just a costumer here and all she'd wanted to do was help with the dog situation.
Her gaze wandered again in the direction of the phantom. They didn't get to talk that much earlier and now he'd finished dealing with all the chaos she might be able to spend some time with her? She could also ask if there was anything she could help with. She did not work here, but these people had been pretty nice to her ever since she arrived and if there was anything she could do to make things easier for them, she happily would. However, her attention was immediately drawn by the man in a Spartan costume who stopped next to them and at his question she almost smirked.
"Oh! Heh. Great question." She eyed Darian briefly before her eyes would return to Meph. "I would say it isn't exaaactly a mockery but um... a bit of a protest. I wanted to dress up as something scary and while priests in general may not make the cut... there are some very pretty messed up values the most radical branches of Catholic Church tend defend. There are not many things as scary as an ideology and the consequences it has to the people who blindly support it, don't you think?" She said with a bit of a grin before she'd laugh softly. "Sorry for the sermon, the costume is getting to my head!" She said cheerfully, again placing the bishop's hat atop her head as if to match her prior words in a silly way.
"Now, yours is an amazing costume." She would compliment him, the smile never leaving her lips. "Are you a gladiator or-.." Suddenly it came to her. "No! Are you Leonidas by any chance?" She asked excitedly. "And aren't you cold? It's chilly out there." She said, cocking her head towards the door. Her eyes however inevitably returned to Gandrell for a moment before she'd focus on Meph again. "Okay that was a grandma kind of question, I apologise." She giggled. "You do look great." She would add.

Aurora was surprised at how easy it was for her to let herself go to the thrill of their kiss as her heart began to race when he tilted his head and opened his mouth to accept her deepening of the kiss. The heat of his hands on her sides just below her ribcage seemed to spread throughout her whole body, enjoying his touch. When his fingers gripped her gently and pulled her to him as much as the plywood allowed, she found herself both wishing it wasn't there and at the same time was tempted to just climb up on the table.
All too soon the kiss ended naturally and she was left dizzy and feeling a little drunk from the whole experience as his comment about understanding why men would be willing to throw themselves overboard and drown for a mermaids kiss made her heart skip a beat and her already flushed cheeks darken more if it were even possible. However by the time the spell of the kiss had worn off, the pirate had already stepped away and was talking to the woman dressed as Little Red. Shyness washing over her, she hesitated to go up to him especially when a woman dressed as a devil seemed to have caught his attention. Though things seemed friendly enough, the she-devil was clearly interested in the pirate judging by the way she so blatantly flirted with him. It was at this moment, her friend Azula walked up to her as two male...giants arrived momentarily distracting her. Blushing from her friends teasing, she ran her fingers through her hair nervously before gasping softly when her friend leaned in to whisper words of encouragement to her before going on to say she was going to see if she could find food for them and even offering to get the pirate something to eat if he wished and handing her her phone back. "Thank you, Azula. I will definitely pass your offer along. And it's probably a good idea I move considering things seem to be getting a little chaotic around here," she said softly as her friend walked away and she barely avoided being knocked over by a dog running loose in the area. Taking a breath to gather some courage, she walked up to the pirate and shyly cleared her throat in an attempt to get his attention. "U-um excuse me...Mr. Pirate? Would it be alright if I joined you for a drink and some conversation? I didn't get a chance to tell you earlier but I was hoping to spend some time with you...get to know you. My name is Aurora, btw," she said softly, stuttering at first out of nervousness as her right hand moved up to her hair and began twisting a small section of the ends around her index finger. She had kept her eyes focused on him the whole time she walked up to him so if anyone else had been nearby and was talking to him, she would apologize for being rude when the time came as she hadn't meant to be.
All too soon the kiss ended naturally and she was left dizzy and feeling a little drunk from the whole experience as his comment about understanding why men would be willing to throw themselves overboard and drown for a mermaids kiss made her heart skip a beat and her already flushed cheeks darken more if it were even possible. However by the time the spell of the kiss had worn off, the pirate had already stepped away and was talking to the woman dressed as Little Red. Shyness washing over her, she hesitated to go up to him especially when a woman dressed as a devil seemed to have caught his attention. Though things seemed friendly enough, the she-devil was clearly interested in the pirate judging by the way she so blatantly flirted with him. It was at this moment, her friend Azula walked up to her as two male...giants arrived momentarily distracting her. Blushing from her friends teasing, she ran her fingers through her hair nervously before gasping softly when her friend leaned in to whisper words of encouragement to her before going on to say she was going to see if she could find food for them and even offering to get the pirate something to eat if he wished and handing her her phone back. "Thank you, Azula. I will definitely pass your offer along. And it's probably a good idea I move considering things seem to be getting a little chaotic around here," she said softly as her friend walked away and she barely avoided being knocked over by a dog running loose in the area. Taking a breath to gather some courage, she walked up to the pirate and shyly cleared her throat in an attempt to get his attention. "U-um excuse me...Mr. Pirate? Would it be alright if I joined you for a drink and some conversation? I didn't get a chance to tell you earlier but I was hoping to spend some time with you...get to know you. My name is Aurora, btw," she said softly, stuttering at first out of nervousness as her right hand moved up to her hair and began twisting a small section of the ends around her index finger.

He nodded and looked at the girl that Ella was talking about, he cleared his throat and got a ticket then went over to the girl named Sadie "um hi there- Ella recommended you- I never had a kiss before and I thought it'd be kinda fun- might help br8ng me out of my shell with...girls" he bit his lip softly he wasn't really making eye contact with the beautiful demon girl. He was a nervous mess
He grinned as Sadie took his cup and started enjoying the contents. He wasn't much on straight booze. He liked a little splash of fruit to cut the burn. He was glad she seemed to agree. He lounged next to Sadie as all sorts of bullshit happened at once. Before he knew it, Little Red was beyond pissed and grabbed Lazy Werewolf and just left. He knew they had been planning to go, but that was probably more abrupt than they were expecting. The dog situation he ignored. He had no experience with dogs, nor was he interested in obtaining any. In his passive way, Undertow announced, "It's irresponsible to let animals wander around without a leash." She could be pissed at the phantom all she wanted, but she was the one in the wrong. He was glad when all the hubbub was over and done with.
When Gandrell introduced his friend Meph, Undertow had to look up at the guy. He admired the Spartan costume and wondered for a minute if those muscles were accentuated by airbrush or something. "Very awesome." Meph moved on and he turned back to Gandrell and Sadie. When Sadie mentioned her hands, Undertow hopped up, "I know where that is." He went over to the bar where he knew the first aid kit was. He got some packaged alcohol pads and then mixed another drink for them to share.
As he made his way back to Gandrell and Sadie he said offhandedly, "Did you lose your girl, mate?" Undertow looked over to Ella who was taking to some guy that had walked up during the dog situation. "He seems to be trying to get her attention." Undertow watched Gandrell shrug, "No worries, my friend. All things work out how they are supposed to." Gandrell turned his attention to Ella then and saw her talking to Meph. A smile spread on his pale lips.
Undertow gave his attention back to Sadie. "Alcohol pads for you," he handed them to her so she could clean her hands. "And, alcohol for us." He poured some of the fresh drink into her cup. When she asked his name he said playfully, "Tonight I'm Undertow, the fearless pirate." When she mentioned she might be screaming his name later, he pulled the whole "acting shy" thing as he said in a scandalized voice, "And what kind of lusty pirate do you think I am?" He laughed knowing he was being a dork. His crystal blue eyes looked at her as he asked, "So, what made you want to come out to the carnival tonight? We are completely monopolizing your time. Was there anything you wanted to do?
He had just asked his question to Sadie when his mermaid came up to him. He turned his blue eyes on her and said sweetly, "Yes, please. Join us. We were just talking about what brought everyone out tonight. Was it the rides, the food, something to do?" When she mentioned a drink, he offered her his cup, "It's coconut based, but feel free." When Aurora asked his name he told her Undertow just as he told Sadie a few minutes before.

Wynter had been walking around the carnival, just taking in the festivities and the atmosphere of the crowd. She hadn't come really wanting to do anything in particular as she had been invited to join a couple young ladies staying with her at the shelter she ran just outside of town. Though she hadn't seen either one just yet as she looked around. A sign for a kissing booth had just then caught her attention and decided that it might be fun to kiss a random stranger just this once. After all, she was dressed as none other than Morticia Adams and while she tried to ignore it, she was turning heads here and there. She wasn't one for wanting to draw a lot of attention to herself but a little here and there was welcomed once in a while. After purchasing a ticket for the kissing booth, she went in and immediately could tell that she had walked into the aftermath of some chaos. Looking around at the people milling about, she took her time deciding as it seemed unclear who were volunteers and who were customers. A smile graced her lips when she spotted Aurora dressed as a mermaid talking to a pirate and a female devil, relieved to see that the woman seemed to have met someone who caught her eye. Knowing the poor woman's past like she did, it was a relief to see her so animated and clearly happy. Though it did surprise Wynter that Aurora's friend Azula wasn't with her as those two seemed glued at the hip.
Meph listened to Ella's answer and contemplated her opinion on the church and some of their more extreme practices. Being the ever observant student he smiled at her and asked softly, "When did you lose your faith?" He could tell she had once loved the church and had placed her whole heart in the faith. To have such an opinion now, something must have happened. He wouldn't push her. It was just a question, and not one she was obligated to answer.
The topic changed to his costume. "I wouldn't be uncomfortable in a gladiator costume, however the interpretation of the armor used in the movie is not as accurate as I would like." It was his turn to show his more nerdy side. "Historically, this is closer to what a gladiator would have torn in the arenas. Spectators wanted to see the blades slice and penetrate and the blood flow." A visible shivered passed over him as he remembered his experience from a past life.
He guessed that was why she asked about him being cold and shook his head a little. "The temperature isn't uncomfortable to me. I'm pretty warm blooded. I don't get cold easily." But it was his turn to ask her a crazy question.
"I'm going to pry a little. Gandrell, I've never seen him so smitten. His eyes travel over to you every minute. This is new for him." He would watch Ella closely, studying her reaction.

Catherine realized Darian’s relief when she told him she didn’t think he was the one in the wrong. It was strange to have a stranger care so much, yet it made her smile nonetheless. The smile turned into a grin when he suggested food later, but he was right that it was likely to be from a food truck. That was fine with Catherine, as there had been more than one night she had run and found one in the middle of a study.
Before she could answer, she had her own kiss with Emily, quite a lovely kiss on her own. After bidding her farewell, she moved back to Darian. At his confusion of her words, she smiled softly and explained; “I overheard Gandrell’s introduction. As someone with a name that contains too many letters, I can appreciate a good introduction.”
It was then she realized she hadn’t actually given him her name. She smiled inside as she thought of it. Did she like the mystery that this man seemed so into her, yet they didn’t even know each others names? Or for that matter, he hadn’t actually seen Catherine’s whole face as some of it was hidden by her mask? Yes. She thought she did enjoy that mystery, but if he asked, she would tell him.
Brown eyes were pulled then to the newcomers, and Catherine, likely out of a human preservation, stepped closer to Darian. She did notice that he stepped towards her too, and partially shielded her with his body. At his offer, she looked up at him, and shook her head. “I am okay for the moment. As long as you don’t mind staying close a little while longer.”
The next thing to happen though, caused a bit of discord among the booth. From seemingly nowhere, a dog suddenly ran up, and although it was behaving, it was also clearly making people uncomfortable. Little Red and the lazy Wolf took off almost immediately, and that was followed by some lady with a leash. “If one has a pet, it is of my opinion that one shouldn’t be irresponsible with it. What if the animal had ended up somewhere worse? Like the street?” Seeing as this was an outdoor carnival, the street wasn’t as far away as people thought it was. Catherine shook her head, but made no further comment as she saw yet another customer, Morticia Addams, step inside.
As there had just been some chaos and confusion, Catherine did a quick scan of everyone, and counted. “Excuse me a moment, please.” She let her hand lightly trail down Darian’s arm as she stepped out from him, and walked over to Morticia. “Welcome to the booth.” She said sweetly. “You just missed a little bit of a….shift change.” Catherine decided as she looked over the woman. “If there is any confusion, right now, we have the lovely Phantom, the rugged pirate, the sexy she-devil, the ringmaster, our newest arrival, the Gladiator, and myself for options. Is there anyone you’d be interested in?”

Aurora's smile widened as she felt herself relax upon being welcomed so sweetly and gratefully accepted the drink he offered her. "It's a great pleasure to meet you, Undertow and you're in luck that I just so happen to like coconut," she said softly as she reached out to take the cup, her fingertips brushing over his as she did so. As their fingers touched, she felt a pleasant little jolt like electricity go up her arm and her eyes met his as she brought the cup to her lips to take a small drink.
After a moment, she took the cup away from her lips and cradled it in both her hands as she licked her lips as if to savor the taste of the coconut for another moment before answering his question. "To answer your question, I originally wasn't going to come but my friend Azula, the redhead dressed as a fairy, convinced me to. I generally avoid things like these just because of....some things that have happened since breaking up with my ex and just stick to swimming or locking myself in my room to read. She's promised to take me to the beach this weekend so I can, as she put it, swim to my little mermaid heart's content. I'm glad I came though," she said softly, her eyes appearing haunted for a moment even as her voice remained casual and showed no hint of distress. She hadn't meant to mention her ex or anything but yet she found she kind of wanted to as if she felt almost compelled to for some reason. She just hoped she hadn't ruined the mood of the group.

Halloween night was a wondrous night. Full of spooks, scares, laughs, and excellent costumes you normally couldn’t get away with. Trinity thought this as she ran her hands down her body in front of the full length mirror. She was an Angel, but it would be a lie to call her innocent. Her chest was covered, although barely. A nearly see-through white wrap was around her, held together with pink lace that were just begging to be pulled. Her stomach, shoulders and arms were uncovered, and showed her absolutely perfect and flawless skin.
The skirt of the outfit was barely able to be called a skirt, as the white material reached barely beyond her most intimate areas, but she was just covered enough to pass in public. The skirt sat above white fishnets, and the entire outfit caused several people to look at her. Her wings were bold and beautiful, not too bulky, and the tips of the wings were dyed in pink. They sat perfectly on her back, and matched her hair, which was a white blonde, with the ends dyed a bright pink. She’d left her hair loose tonight, the long bouncy curls only adding to the Angel’s allure. She debated her shoes heavily, but in the end had slipped on a pair of white heels. The final touch was the pink halo that was pinned in her hair. Her makeup was subtle, but a perfect mix of white, pink and black that it made her bright blue eyes pop with excitement, and hard to ignore.
Finished, Trinity headed to the carnival, and spent a few hours checking out each exhibit and booth, noting how many looks her costume got. She also got at least two date offers, but declined them both. Trinity wasn’t much for “dating.” She was for adventure, which was how she wound up purchasing a couple of tickets for this kissing booth. She was curious about it, and made her way inside it. She looked around to see quite a bunch of activity going on, but did happen to overhear the Princess’s explanation of who might be available. Her eyes scanned the choices, and tried to decide who she wanted to kiss. At the moment, most seemed to be occupied, so she would wait for a natural break but those blue eyes were definitely looking in between the pirate and the gladiator. Both men looked like they were fighters, and that excited her. Perhaps, since she had two tickets, she could go for both, with the option to always purchase more.
Standing there, with her perfect hands on her hip, she looked between them a couple more times before naturally gravitating to the largest one there. She had a thing for men who looked like they could crush a skull with just their hands, and this Gladiator definitely had that, plus he was, wether make up or real, scarred, which only added to the appeal. She moved towards the booth, and when she had attention, offered the ticket. “You look like you know how to handle a fight. Can you handle a kiss just as well?”
