Bolin, with the help of Spirits, Moogles, and various other people had finally finished setting up the party. There were tables laden with different kinds of food of course and decorations everywhere. They'd made sure to clear a space for dancing and Perry the Platypus had volunteered to DJ with some equipment borrowed from the moogles for the night. Bolin wished there could be more people so they could have games and stuff like a proper street festival...but for what he had he felt it was pretty good.

Now they just needed people to show up for the fun.

The center bowl's a little closer than he thinks, and the ball sails over it, pings off two other bowls, and rolls off the table. "Ooh, tough luck, kupo. Wanna try again?"

[dork_of_keys]

Of all the rotten luck... Sora stared after the errant ball for a moment before digging two more munny out of his pocket. Yes, yes he did want to try again. His luck couldn't be that bad twice in a row, could it?

Perhaps taking a little more care in his aim would be helpful.

Okay the RNG is just being a butt tonight.

[revenancenpcs]

Second verse, same as the first. The ball misses the table entirely. "Maybe a little gentler next time, kupo."

[dork_of_keys]

Perhaps he was putting a little too much power behind it. Maybe easing up a little bit would help?

Oh, well. Two more munny and another try. If he missed it this time, he'd go get a snack and come back to it later.

The ball plinked across several rims before plopping into a bowl. Steven scooped it and the dream pieces out, dried them off, and offered the pieces to Sora. "There you go, kupo! You can make a Wheeflower with those."

[dork_of_keys]

That was better than nothing and another healer could be helpful. Sora still wanted to try for the center one, but he decided a break for something to eat and a little mingling was a good idea.

His Spirits protested a little when he returned to the game later, intent on trying again for the center bowl. If the prize for the Struggle tournament had been one of the five Spirits that didn't have a Nightmare counterpart (that he knew of) then it seemed likely that that was what the dream pieces in the center bowl would make. This time he put down enough munny for three tries and took care in aiming each toss.

"Not much for talking, huh, kupo?" Steven could understand that - some people preferred to concentrate on the game while they were playing.

Evidently it worked, because there was some improvement - none of the balls went off the table this time, and they all landed in bowls. "Good job, kupo! That's a Kooma Panda, an Escarglow, and a Hebby Repp."

[dork_of_keys]

No, Sora actually hadn't been talking much here, had he? Was the lack of his normal bluster screwing things up for him, maybe? Actually, he doubted that. The last time he'd been boastful about something... well... Then again, that had been something serious. This was a festival game.

Or perhaps he'd stick with being serious. While it still wasn't the big prize, it was a definitely improvement. And even if he didn't want any of these Spirits, he could either give the pieces to someone or sell them at a tidy profit. He wasn't giving up on that center bowl, though. Six games had given him the dream bits for four Spirits. A moment of debate and he handed over the munny for four more tosses, much to his Spirits' chagrin.

He wasn't sure if it was deliberate or not, but Jelly Bean nudged him on his first toss. After a scolding, the Meow Wow stayed back for the other three tosses.

[revenancenpcs]

Two of the shots got wedged between fish bowls, but two of them went in, one into a bowl just next to the center one. "That was really close, kupo! It looks like this time you get a Wheeflower and a Pricklemane!"

[dork_of_keys]

He certainly didn't need two Wheeflowers. Maybe he could sell those pieces. A Pricklemane was okay, but he was pretty sure he wasn't going to be making all of these Spirits right away.

The center bowl remained illusive, though.

There was a small grumble from Sora as he debated whether he wanted to try more. He had plenty of munny, but it was starting to get a little frustrating.

Actually, it was starting to look like it was rigged. He put two munny down. "Last one."
