Fluffy approached the pinata hitting crowd. "Hello everyone" she said with a smile. "Sorry for my absence.. I've been.. just wandering around a bit.."

[[How do you people live? No Febreeze, no smores, no pinatas? tut tut http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdk46LPZxNg Usually there is a person that jiggles the string and makes the person miss.]]

TT smiled. "If you say so..." She had lost all notion of where she was and where the pinata was... so it probably shouldn't have been a surprise when she missed it entirely.
"At least I didn't break anything", she said sheepishly, taking off the blindfold. "Do you want to try, Fluffy?"

Jocelyn returned with her pinky in her mouth. "Yeah, I cut myself..." she grumbled and sat near the pinata to watch the other people hitting it... she really wanted to know what was inside

Fluffy cautiously walked over to the pinata, inspecting whether it was fluffy or not. "Hmm" Then she walked over to TT. "No thanks" she said. "I'll just watch this for a bit."

[[*Suddenly realizes how odd the whole pinata thing would look to someone who's not familiar with it* Yeah, we we hang this papery animal thing from a high branch or something, blindfold kids, give them a big stick, and tell them to have at. That sounds like a great idea, right?  ]]
Fragile remained in the corner, watching the antics of the others who were still having fun trying to hit the pinata. She hoped nothing else would be broken before it was finally cracked open.

[[Ooh, I get to break? *feels special* Haha, nice Fragile.]]
Nurr watched the others try and hit the pinata. Sheesh, the thing must be made of steel!
[[I'll be gone for a while, so you can godmod me breaking it Kit if you want to move onto something else.]]

[I guess we're getting tired with the whole pinata thing if it's not gonna break. xD]
Kit handed the bat and tied the blindfold around Nurrantiel.
[[Actually, I don't feel right godmodding someone, I've never been great at it... =/ So, we can pause the pinata and then go straight to the apple-bobbing. =]]]

[*stares at YouTube link in wonder* Oh dear, this HallowFun is indeed a guided tour of US customs and practice, what a curious species, these Americans! I want to tip the guide at the exit!
*looks at Kit and sees her mouth moving but doesn't understand anything* Apple-bobbing?? I think you mentioned it earlier, but I just blacked it out because I couldn't make any sense of it! Any YouTube videos for that?
Come on, break the pinata, I want to see what's inside... I'm European, it's my first time, pleeeaaaase Kit-y sweetie!!!!!!] _________________ >>Be the change you wish to see in the world<<

[[This is a bit of a wake-up call for me culturally too - it had never occurred to me how many customs I take for granted are just American things. Apple bobbing is where you stick a bunch of apples in a big tub of water and then stick your face in it and try to get an apple out using only your teeth. Here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxqZ5stYcLo I haven't done it in years, but I loved it when I was younger. ]]

[[Well, well... .. gah. Let me try this godmodding thing. Ought to be fun. xD
And yes, there is a youtube video for that. I am all full of youtube videos to show our weird American customs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxqZ5stYcLo  ]]
Nurrantiel took the bat from Kit while she waited to be blindfolded. "I get to break it! Yay! Must be something good inside." She was spun just then and before she took a swing, she made sure Kit was out of the way because there was no point in hurting the lovely, amazing, the person-in-which-she-lives-for hostess.
"You're good," she heard Kit say and positioned herself and tapped the bat forward to see where the pinata was and regaining her senses was rather difficult. With one big giant swing she split the pumpkin shaped pinata completely open, and it flew off the duct-tape base that it was hanging from the ceiling.
"AND THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE, PEOPLE." She yelled, tugging off the blindfold and rushing towards the candy that flew out. There were also larger prizes and she threw the bat aside to grab all the treats: jolly ranchers, bubble gum, skittles, and even a box of Turkish Delights.
Kit also rushed ahead and decided that she needed her sugar and grabbed some M&M bags and wrapped cakes. She glanced through the pile-up and noticed something odd. "A lasso?" Kit took the piece of rope out from it. "Guys! Look! It's a rope!! I know I didn't put that in there!"
[[@Galatea: Oh, if only I saw your post before I started it. Ea's was being impatient! Thank you for the offer. It's done with. It still feels weird godmodding someone. xD I suppose someone else could've broken the pinata, but I randomly picked Nurrantiel earlier and she seemed happy at the thought.]]

"A lasso... how strange..." Jocelyn stared at the rope that could be construed as a weapon, but didn't think much of it, because her eyes landed on a a large hersey's chocolate bar and dived for it.

Fragile was busy picking up any and all chocolate-related candy when Kit held up the noose. Fragile hurried back from the pile on instinct.
"Who would have put that there?" she said, her voice shaking a little. "Did you fill the pinata, Kit?"

[I've always done apple-bobbing so I don't think it's typically American. We also have donut-bobbed where we nailed donuts on a string to a door frame and had to bite them off. I haver never seen a pinata in use, but you can buy them in supermarkets over here. And they make absolutely rib cracking videos on these TV programmes were people send in home films]
"That can't be good" said The Horseman. "My advice is to keep your hands at the level of your eyes" he added with a nod.

Kit nodded, "I did fill it and ordered Yusef and Milton to put it up, but I definitely didn't put the lasso in. I kept the hole open so that they'd have an easier time hanging it. I don't know if they went to hang it right away after I stuffed all the candy in there."
