"No, fuck that," Moira patted Xan on the back, shoving her off in one direction. "I ain't sittin' on my ass for an age without a pint in my hand and a friend to drink with. And the friend has stayed at home today so it ain't happenin'."

Eric had rejoined at this point, looking a little upset. And as wary as Syed was, he had to give the man a sympathetic pat on the back and attempted words of comfort. It was pretty much an unwritten rule. "I'm sure we'll find your niece soon. It's probably for the best we stay on the ground anyway, that way we're not stuck waiting for the wheel to go all the way around if we spot her. Besides, have you ever thought [i]what if the wheel detaches at the hinges and rolls away[/i]? Because man, I have. Put me off forever."

They pushed through the crowds, before coming to a stop before a collection of stalls, all with a various selection of prizes ranging from small wind fans and bags of candy floss on the hook-a-duck stall - to rediculous hats and masks and massive cuddly toys on the more challenging games.

"Riiiiight," Syed said slowly, his expression quite clearly doubtful.

"We gotta look the part," Moira explained, with that horrifying smirk of hers. She released her steely grip from Xan's shoulder to reach once more for her money pouch, counting out a few coins. "Else we'll look well dodgy, I reckon. So try and win somethin'."

Syed's eyebrows raised. Oh. Oh actually that made a bit of sense - for Moira at least. Sort of like disguises. They could keep an eye out in the meantime, of course.

Moira flicked a coin into the air and caught it again deftly. With that she stepped towards the nearest stall - a simple looking one, where they had to throw metal rings over wooden poles. The stall owner demonstrated the game, certainly making it look easy.

Wait did her first ring bounce right off?! "Fuck! I threw it right, why didn't it fit?" she exclaimed, aiming her second with the same results. "Woooooooooow. Fuck this!"

Syed meanwhile wistfully looked up to the sillier of the hats hanging from the stalls. Oh, some of those looked really fun. Shame with his luck he had no hope in hell of winning anything, so he initially remained hanging back. He was quite happy to just keep an eye out anyway.
