Both he and Modesty had been enjoying the day's festivities of wandering around. A supple amount of treats and gifts, really anything Modesty had asked for, he would give her. Though it hadn't been his fault that she had lost all of her hair, he still felt bad and wanted to make it up to her. She had cowered by his side for most of the day, scared that others would make fun of her. When a coydog with red and white brindling called out in a rather vivacious manner, Gil thought maybe if he won her something, it would cheer her up. Walking over with Modesty in tow, Gil requested the number of darts allowed to give it a shot. Taking his place in front of the booth to look at the glittery pink balloons, he wondered how he was even going to be successful at this. No matter, he wouldn't back down from a challenge. Clumsily gripping the first dart in his right toes, he situated himself before giving it a good toss. Okay so maybe the first time wasn't as good as he hoped, but he still had a few chances left. Scowling slightly as he concentrated, Gil tossed a few more as he got accustomed to the feel of the darts. Once his had all been used up, he glanced over toward the coydog to see if he'd won anything. |
NPC:
The cowdog claps his paws together happily. ”Oooo so exciting! Come on over here, gorgeous, and we’ll see what you’ve won!” He plucks the little paper from where the balloon once was, reading the text there.
He hands you a basket wrapped in a nice pelt.

At first, when she'd seen the booth with the coydog calling out for sexy bitches to give it a try, Audra had been apprehensive. Surely, he wasn't talking about someone like her. Pft, her dainty self was anything but sexy. Still, she wanted to give at least one of the games a try. Out of the ones available, she figured tossing a dart at a balloon perhaps would be the most fun and challenging. Walking over toward the brightly colored booth, she watched a few others give it a go first. Some might have said that her missing an eye would be a disadvantage. Yet, did one not close an eye when aiming? When her turn came up, Audra grabbed one of the darts between her toes and took aim. Pulling back her arm and throwing it forward with as much might as she could, she held her breath as the dart went flying. The next few moments seemed to hang in the air as she waited for the dart to hit its mark. Or fall on the ground. Either one, she hoped she won something. |

He didn't have a preference on what color feather dart he held, just took one off the wall before placing it between his toes. He closed one of his eyes as he aimed before throwing his paw forward and shooting the dart towards the board. He supposed there was really nothing to lose, it was all fun and games after all.

She passed a booth on the way out, shrugging her shoulders at the dude speaking to the wolves who lingered by. She didn't care much for what he had to say about being sexy or whatever. To get it over with, she had watched a couple wolves toss the darts up at the board. So she stepped forward to grab her own blue dart before spitting it like a spitball at the wall of balloons. It'd be pretty cool if she won something, but either way she would be on her way out afterwards.

Her paws hopped up on the bar so she could grab a purple feathered dart and then set herself up so she could shoot it forward at the wall. It really wasn't that easy, but she wouldn't give up so easily. Standing up on her hind legs, she tossed the dart from between her toes and watched to see if she hit anything.

He’d spotted an interesting game to try, and not only that, he spotted Audra. It was good to see her alive and well after all the hell in the winter and spring, but as bustling as the area was, he didn’t get a chance to call out to her, or see what the Long Dark had done to her.
Maybe later, then.
He watched as others took their shots and either struck a win or struck out, then took his turn as an opening came. He studied the darts, then plucked a bright red-dyed one between his long toes, taking aim and flicking his hand-like paw and wrist out, aiming for the heart of the target.
It was fun, regardless of success, and he surveyed the darts again, filing them away for later consideration. If he got really good, maybe he could figure a ranged way to hunt small prey.

NPC:
The coydog shakes his head mournfully when your dart fails to pop a balloon. ”Oh my poor darling! Better luck next time!” He quickly turns back to cajoling more carnival-goers to his booth.
Ardyn at first glance is as black as can be imagined with a raven sheen.
Closer inspection proves that he shimmers in fire tones in every hair on his hide right down to his lashes.
More obviously, he glows like a bed of coals and flames with every movement and brush of fur. His tail is usually wagging, so blazes like a torch.
His adult teeth are in and his saber canines have grown to their full length (see profile). His mane and tail hair have grown to full length, as well as being lightweight and easily buffeted by breezes.
A look at his front paws will give the impression of hands, with his dew claw dropped low and lengthened into a functioning thumb, and his toes elongated into fingers. He has retractable, solid black cat-like claws on every paw.
Ardyn has developed a glowing mast of intricate markings in fire and ice colors over his face, symmetrical over the last seasons of Year 17 (see profile for details). During hunts or raids/sieges, he will smudge them out with black soot to cover the glow, otherwise, they are bright enough to note at first direct glance at his face. Not all his artwork currently portrays the mask markings.
He is also often bedecked in beads, small bells, feathers in blues, ribbons and braids thanks to the Ooze Event of Halloween 2021, and the Coathanger item that he got. The accessories generally are seen most in his mane and tail hair. He removes the brighter items and bells for hunts or battle.
Pyralis trotted happily through the festival, enjoying the sites and sounds all the more after a few glasses of sangria. She had to give props to Alkali for getting the fruit for their afternoon drink. As she wandered about an exuberant voice called out from the nearest booth. Sexy bitches, eh? Well, in her humble opinion she was pretty good looking for her advanced age. "Don't mind if I do," she purred as she approached the booth. Ok, take a dart thing and pop one of the… Pyralis squinted at the balloons. Pop one of the whatever the heck those were. Sure! Pyralis gingerly picked up a dart in her teeth. She felt it there in her mouth for a moment before twisting her neck and whipping her head to the side as she let the dart fly.

More wolves stepped up and threw and Callie watched them as she waited her own turn, observing their technique and seeing what worked and what didn't. When her turn came, the excitable puppy hardly listened to the instructions before grabbing a dart and chucking it haphazardly at the wall of balloons.

Azure grasped the dart in his maw, finding he hated the feeling of holding it between his teeth. How anyone was supposed to throw this with accuracy he didn't know, but stepping away now would be admitting failure. He tossed his head and released the dart, hoping it at least was aimed in the direction of the balloons.
The coydog claps his paws together happily. ”Oooo so exciting! Come on over here, gorgeous, and we’ll see what you’ve won!” He plucks the little paper from where the balloon once was, reading the text there.

A coydog waved her over to one, her ears perking with interest. Limping over toward the booth and waiting her turn, she watched the other participants throw. When her turn arose, Aryn grasped a dart in between her teeth and chucked it smoothly toward the balloons, eyes alight with excitement to see whether she'd manage to hit something.

He'd made his way to the festival by himself, eagerly looking around with wonder and excitement. In all his life Astrophel had never been to such an event before, and seeing everyone milling around and having fun was a good sight to see. As for himself, he kept an eye out in case he ran into anyone he knew, but the game booths swiftly caught his attention and he found himself veering off towards them. The booth was a myriad of rainbow colours and glittery balloons, and he waited patiently in line until it was his turn, glancing briefly at the coydog who was explaining how to play. Astrophel gingerly picked up a dart, eyeing the balloons as he decided which one he wanted to aim for before flicking his wrist and throwing the pointed end, hoping to at least just hit one. |

Inoki stopped at the rainbow coloured booth, a grin on her faze as she looked at the sparkly balloons. Her paws were a little clumsy, and she'd never thrown a dart before, but the desire to get a prize, perhaps something Halo would like, was enough to spur her towards the booth and give it a go. She giggled softly at the coydog, enjoying the performance he was putting on to attract players, and eagerly stepped forward to snag a dart. She was in it to win it.
Her teal gaze darted between the balloons, figuring out which one would be the easiest to aim for to secure a prize. And a fabulous one at that from what the coydog had promised. With a wild throw, Inoki chucked the dart with her paw, eyes wide with hope as it went soaring through the air towards the balloons. |

Faith strode through the festival with her dual-toned eyes scanning over each of the booths as she passed, they were all interesting but a particular voice and booth stood out to her as she got closer to it, her eyes drifting to the rainbow canopy. She titled her head to the side and stepped closer, watching the other wolves as they approached and awkwardly jerked their heads around to try and pop balloons, it was a wonder the scarved coydog didn't get hit.
Still her interest piqued Faith stepped up to the counter, picked up one of the sharp implements and did her best to look less embarassing than the others had, and hopefully she'd hit a balloon and not the coydog.

Sorcerer watched from a far at first still debating his participation on the event that seemed quite new and different to the Klein. Colorful booths aspersed across the fields. He could see many wolves playing games, including known faces, finding Aryn. He was glad his cousin allowed her to atleast have fun. He couldnt help but smile, and he hopped his treatment was helping a bit. He would approach, and place himself near her. Focusin on his own thing he grabbed a dart and with a lot of pre adjusting he would try to throw it, hopefully hitting a balloon. He felt confident, unafraid if he missed.
