1. Fried Food

[The first thing Cass does is go to the food stands. Now there's a small girl walking around with a two plates stacked comically high with fried food. An amount of food that makes one wonder if there's an eating competition going on that nobody said anything amount.

There's a little bit of everything-- even the more dubious-looking fried concoctions. Now she's trying to find a place to sit so she can demolish her meal in peace.

2. It's All Fun And Games

a. [After a satisfying meal, Cass has set her eye on the other most interesting part of the fair. The games.

Cass loves tests of skill and doesn't have enough knowledge of these kinds of events to know they're going to be rigged.

Not that it would stop her.

Balloon darts is first. Picking up the first dart, she can feel the way it's weighted. Off-balance. Not much. Just enough to throw someone off. She narrows her eyes. Adjusts to the weight. Compensates.

Aims. Throws. A loud pop as the balloon bursts.

She smiles and picks up the next dart. This one's balanced slightly differently... a clever trick. Her smiles grows into a grin as she throws again. Another pop.

Once all the darts are thrown, each one popping a balloon, she's told she can pick a prize. Out of everything, this is where she freezes. There are... a lot of choices. And she doesn't know what to pick.

b. [Cassandra has been going through every game booth. She's about halfway through. Her arms are full of prizes that she was forced to pick. Some she just pointed at randomly. Some she picked on purpose-- a giant purple unicorn for Steph. A small red bird for Tim. A smiling black bat for herself.

Along with her spoils, she's amassed a little bit of a crowd following her. Watching her win each game in one try. She's... not-comfortable with all the people. So many bodies to keep track of. It is... a lot of noise. Not sound-noise, brain-noise. She's doing her best to ignore them.

She doesn't mind when they cheer for her. That's... kind of nice. Fun.
