There had been more time to kill before meeting Olivia than the Hufflepuff had initially anticipated. That meant time spent wandering through the stalls and seeing what they had to offer, and if it was anything even remotely close to the kinds of games they had back home. It had been a while since Lance had been to a proper fair or carnival, so seeing all of it like this and at Hogwarts was strange. They were two things that he had never imagined would collide together. And yet it kind of worked.
After strolling around for a while, he found something nice and tame, and one that he was sure he could win with the slightest of ease: bobbing for apples. The rules seemed to be exactly the same as the normal, non-magical version of it. The only concern Lance had was if there was a trick to it, like a creature or spell placed over it. Watching a few people go through the game without any negative lash back, he was satisfied that it was a normal apple bob. Now it was his turn to go.

Cordelia had wandered by the apple bobbing booth at some point earlier in her day, but hadn't actually contemplated walking up to it until she was on her way out of the carnival for the day. There had been a million and one things that she had wanted to photograph, and didn't think that such a common muggle game was really worth her time, especially since it would constitute her getting up close and personal with people's faces as the dunked them into the barrels. Those were the two things she disliked the most, so it had become an after thought. At least she had thought it had become one, until she realized that she had a few tokens left over and zero film left in her camera. So now was the best time to test out the game.
From the few carnivals that she had been to on the muggle side, Cordelia knew how this game worked. It was as simple as dipping her face into the barrel and grabbing an apple. Or apples. However many that the worker thought was necessary to get the tickets. Idling around until the line almost died down, Cordelia finally shuffled her way over, waiting for her turn.

What was there to do? Mina found herself asking that question a lot since arriving at the carnival. She probably should have made plans to meet up with Im, or at least one of her younger siblings. Whether or not any of those individuals actually wanted to see her in return was a different story. She was pretty sure that she had been behaving lately. Working, going home after, taking care of her dog. The usual stuff. She only got really hammered on Friday nights now. That was definitely an improvement over what her life was like right after finishing school. Unfortunately, Mina had the feeling that she was being watched more closely now than ever before, since now she could easily slip up and return back to how she had been. She knew that too, and wasn't really keen on being treated like a child anymore.
Thankfully the carnival was a good excuse to get out and wander around without very much oversight. There wasn't any alcohol, or at least none that she could find, because of the amount of students there, but there were games, and they could pass the time until she found something better to do or went home to drink and pass out again. Whatever came first, really. After playing a few, she found herself near an apple bobbing game. That was very muggle of them. She had played this a few times while in America during Halloween. How she even remembered that still, she had no idea. There had been a lot of tequila involved that night. Handing the carnie her tokens, she decided to give it a shot.

The day was winding down and so was Zita's energy. She'd gone around and participated in every game and ride the carnival had to offer and she was going to go head back to the castle to see who was around to hang out with. As she was leaving what she thought to be her last game booth she spotted one game that she actually hadn't seen when she'd arrived to the carnival. The sign above it stated it was an Apple Bob game. Had she actually gone around the entirety of the carnival and missed a game? She didn't quite understand how but she had a few tokens left so she decided to approach it to see how to play. When she reached it there was a little kid playing the game and watched the kid dunk their head into one of the barrels that were around and emerge with an apple in their mouth. Was that it? She was pretty sure she could do that without any issues. It didn't look to hard anyway. She paid her token and approached one of the filled barrels. Looking into it she saw the apples at the bottom. Taking a deep breath she dunked her head into the barrel, following the kids example and attempted to get one of the apples up.
