Forums » General Roleplay » Summer Soirée: Community Dunk Tank (Open)

Sam gave the guy who walked up and quickly tossed three balls at Melody applause as two of them deflected off the button glancing off the edge (19, 6, and 2)"These buttons are unforgiving! There has been at least a half-dozen deflecting misses thrown!"

Sam laid three more dollars down to get three balls. "I'm going to split my throws... one at Sophia and Jane; one at Melody; and the last one whoever I decide ...

"Darn it... both throws at Melody missed as did the throw at Jane and Sophie... guess I better buy some more!"

Denver had been at the fairgrounds just wandering around when he heard a bullhorn squawking about something. When he arrived, he found people throwing softballs at a couple dunk tanks. Thinking it would be fun, Denver went and lay down some cash …

“Three bucks for three throws?“ Denver asked Abigail, giving her his friendly yet deadpan look. Collecting the balls, he had to choose who to throw at.

Rolls dice

Denver decided to throw at the two cute women on tank 1, and the first throw hit well high of the target. “I need th get better than that.” he said to them. The second was to the side. “Ohh… You two look too comfortable sitting together up there. Ok, one more…”

Denver’ thought back to when he played baseball in high school, he gave the ‘strike zone’ a hard stare. His third throw hit plum-center with force and tripped the latch that dropped the seat out from under the two women…

“aaaaaah! Jane! We’re going down!” Sophia cried out as she wrapped her arm around her best friend as the seat gave away under them. The two girls were claimed by gravity and with Jane on her lap, Sophia’s butt hit the water first sending a wave up the sides of the tank. Soph managed to take in a big gasp of air before she went under and Jane’s hair wrapped around her and mingled with her own.

"Alright! Look at them splashing around together!" Scott said as he went to get more balls. "We need to sink Melody before this thing is done!"

He got Summer three balls to throw as well and handed them to her before lining up on tank 3. "Let's see if your luck has run out Melody!"

*throws*

Scott shook his head at his awful aim. "Well, you stay dry a little longer!"

Summer gave Scott a scowl as his eyes lingered a little too long on the two women who fell into tank 1. She was about to elbow him when he went and got some balls to throw.

"Thanks babe... were you distracted while you threw yours?" Summer asked with a slant of sarcasm in her voice. She then paid him no more mind as she stepepd over to tank 3 to try and dunk Melody.

"Ok, you can't have any more luck in your probability tank can you?" Summer then took a stance and started throwing her balls...

*Result is 18, 9, and 13*

Summer thought the first one would hit, but it dropped below the button. The other two throws weren't even close. "Melody, you sure are lucky! Maybe you should get down and claim victory before your streak is broken!"

She then turned to Scott and scowled again as he watched Sophia and Jane flailing in the water.

"Come on, let's go to the beach." Summer hooked Scott's arm and they gave everyone a wave as they walked away from the dunk tanks.

Scott was lingering as he waited for Sophia and Jane to climb out of the tank, but Summer was on to him, and as she hooked his arm, he gave a wave. "Thanks for the fun everyone! See you around Sammy."

The two wandered through the fair as the sun started to get low on the horizon as they headed to the nearby beach.
