Open log: A wild Carnival Night Zone appears!

[chaoticninjitsu]

Who: Anybody bold enough to jump through a mysterious warp ring.
What: A giant carnival zone!
Where: In a pocket dimension, nearby island, or just AU, depending on how serious you want to take it.
When: Now?
Warnings: F for FUN!

 

Without notice or explanation, a giant, spinning gold ring had appeared at the edge of the island. Through the center one could see what looked like roller coasters, carnival games, and lots of balloons, among many other things. Timing a jump through the ring was tricky, but doable.

 

A mysterious spacial distortion obscured the area beyond the carnival. Anyone hoping to escape the mansion entirely would find it was hopeless through this warp ring. However, the entertainment value probably seemed tempting to anyone growing restless with nowhere to go. Why not grab a buddy and have some fun?

[[Sorry if this isn't allowed. Let me know if this is beyond the boundaries of where the game wants to go from here on out.]]

She didn't NEED to check the ring to know he was full of shit. She just knew. But that was less important than seeing Jet flail around like an idiot. The simple pleasures in life were what she lived for... But maybe there was a way to get something out of this.

Wave put some money on the counter for more rings. "Tell you what. If I can get one ring on, you owe me dinner. If I don't, then you can ask me to do whatever you want. Deal?"

[babylonbadass]

"Anything I want, eh?" he echoed, rubbing his chin in contemplation. "Hahaha, you couldn't hit the broad side of an airship, Wave! I hope you're ready for disappointment. My sneakers need gum scraped off!"

He laughed again. Yes, THIS was clearly the best way to spend free labor: menial tasks he didn't want to do himself.

[babylonmechanic]

"You get a promise from me for anything you want, and you want me to scrape gum off your shoes. Real creative," Wave scoffed with a smirk. "Fine."

She picked up the rings. She tossed one ring in her hand as she gauged its weight and probable flight path. She eyed the bottles, holding it up and measuring the distance mentally. She always approached her problems analytically. Always had a plan, a strategy. Once she'd sussed out her target, she curved her wrist and tossed... And a miss.

"Humph..." She picked up the second of the three rings, and threw again. Another miss. She had just one ring left...

[babylonbadass]

Jet watched her tosses anxiously and fist pumped in victory both times that she missed.

"Ahahaww, not such a hot shot now, are you? Looooser! One shot left! I think I'll have you scrub my EXTREME GEAR, too!" he mocked, putting his maturity level on full display. He was completely oblivious to it, too.

[babylonmechanic]

She tuned Jet out as he taunted her. It was what she did best, after all. One shot left. Gotta make it count. She curled her wrist, threw, and...

Ding! It wrapped around one of the bottles on the target!

The carney proceeded to hand her a cheap knock-off plush toy, which Wave accepted so she could wave it in front of Jet's face and smirk. "You were saying, hot shot?" She asked.

[babylonbadass]

Jet's jaw dropped.

"Wha...? Buh... but you suck!!" he pointlessly argued. "There's no way! That had to have been dumb luck."

He swatted the plushie away and pouted.

"Hmph. Fine. Don't think I'll forget about this anytime soon, though."

[babylonmechanic]

"Fine, but you can forget about it AFTER you treat me to dinner," Wave teased, smirking widely. She was definitely enjoying his reaction... It was so easy to get a rise out of him. "C'mon. Let's see what else I can beat you at," she suggested smugly, leaving and expecting him to follow.

[babylonbadass]

"Yeah, you better get something cheap. This isn't a date, so no ordering expensive steak or something."

Jet turned back to her only to discover she'd walked on ahead without him. Nearly tripping over himself, he stumbled and flailed in her general direction until he caught up to her gait.

"S-stop acting like you're so hot! Just because you made some lucky shot in a ring toss doesn't mean you're an ace at them ALL!" he stressed vehemently.

[babylonmechanic]

"It's not? Oh dear, I couldn't guess," Wave replied, raising a hand to her beak in mock surprise. "Me? Date YOU? Perish the thought..."

But as they walked, she leaned closer to him and smirked. "But you're missing out, because I am so very very hot," she teased. "Name the game."

[babylonbadass]

"Hrrk!!" Jet grunted in surprise at her suggestion. "Y-you're not hot! If you didn't have those raisin boobs, I wouldn't even think you were a girl at all!"

Stay classy, Jet.

You could tell she was getting under his skin by the fact that he was resorting to jabs at her womanhood, of all things. He didn't even acknowledge her comment about the games. He wasn't going to let this topic drop.

[babylonmechanic]

Wave's first instinct was to sock him across the face for that comment. But no. She kept herself in check. Far from giving him the satisfaction of.a simple and mean response, Wave instead took a deep breath, glared at him, leaned in, and said...

"So you HAVE been checking out my breasts?"

[babylonbadass]

Well. That was not the response Jet was expecting.

"NO!! Nononono!!" He flailed and swatted at the air as if trying to smack down an invisible mental image. "I mean there's nothing to check out in the first place! I don't look at you like THAT! EVERRR!"

WAVE. BELIEVE HIM, WAVE. He was turning bright red.

[babylonmechanic]

Wave, rather than backing down, decided to turn up the dial a bit more. Seeing Jet flail like a nutcase at the very suggestion caused Wave to lean in a little closer, and whisper, "If you wanted a closer look, you just had to ask, you know~"

[babylonbadass]

Jet almost instinctively launched forward and cupped her boobs. The nosebleed flow was tempestuous.

"Oh, Wave," he cried dramatically. "I've wanted you for so long! Now, as you have given me respectable permission, I come to you with my heart on my sleeve, prepared to give my all to you in both heart and double-handed breast support!"

[babylonmechanic]

Wave clubbed him with a wrench.

[babylonbadass]

Jet shoved her face away forcefully out of frustration and nervousness. Oh gawd, she wasn't leaving him alone...!

"I don't WANT a closer look! I don't even care! At all!"

Then a great excuse hit him square in the brain organ.

"Y-you can't talk to me like that, anyway!" he cackled as he pointed at her to drive the point in. "I'm your leader! You're the subordinate! No talking to your leader without due respect!!"

[babylonmechanic]

"All right, I'll talk to you with all the respect you deserve," Wave taunted. She turned her back on him, continuing on. "So, 'leader', what do you want to do, play another game, or pay up on the dinner you owe me?"

[babylonbadass]

Jet's stomach grumbled, practically answering the question for him. As much as he wanted to show her up, it should probably take a backseat to sustenance right then.

"There's a food court over there," he grumbled, pointing toward a long strip of food shacks and beverage stands. That's carnival dinners for ya.

[babylonmechanic]

"That's what I thought. Come along, boss," she told him, grabbing his hand to lead him away.

Things might be okay. Unless, you know, Sonic happens to see them together or something...

[babylonbadass]

Jet winced from embarrassment as she dragged him over to the closest food stand. Why was she acting like this? She was pushing his buttons much more than usual and without mercy or remorse. When they stopped, he yanked his hand free and wiped it on his leg. There wasn't anything to wipe off, but it was the principle of the action of just ridding one's self of unpleasantness.

"Geeze, what's with you, Wave? I have eyes! I can see it and walk by myself! Respect is one thing, but you're getting really pushy. I don't like it!" he whined. She really was making him feel awkward, though he was having a hard time figuring out how exactly. She ragged on him a lot, sure, but this time was different somehow.

[babylonmechanic]

"Well, I haven't seen you for a while," Wave said with a shrug. "I've got things to say to you, things I've been holding back while you were gone. You'd deny me having a little fun?" she asked, half-serious and half-teasing.
