Link to Prompt answer:

The trio stood blankly for a second, thinking about which question to answer first.
And how.
Hooves turned his head to his siblings 《"Should we lie? We dont know if theyre dangerous"》he said with just an eyebrow raise.
Tangerine shot him a look. 《Don't be rude Hooves.》
Sugar simply looked back at Hooves. 《They seem... nice?》

Turning back, Tangerine started talking.
"Hey there! So uh.." she looked at her siblings. "These are my siblings... what were the other questions again-?" She whispered to them.
Sugar perked up.
"We dont really know anyone else here... i mean, we three got kind of a bit lost in the festival. Phone was supposed to be taking care of us-" Tangerine cut them off. "But worry not! He'll find us! He always does."
While they were talking, Hooves just stared distrustingly in silence at the booth runners from behind the other two, he never put his guard down.
"I dont think we have something we specially want to try."
"We want to try everything! Everything looks fun!"
"Yeah."

Hooves sighed, and muttered lowly:
"I just hope we can find some other friends we can trust."

Edited after rollover to fix some of the colors bcs it was bothering me lol

Goobie(s) Involved: Kallinikos
Partner? No
If so, who? -
Prompt answer:

Kallinikos blankly stood there for a second. 'What a funny pair...' Kalli thought to himself. He was so absorbed in observing the interaction between these two very unique individuals in front of him that he didn't realize it was his turn to speak.

"Ohh, oh...me?" As he pulled himself out of his thoughts.
"Well, actually I came here alone today. Just sort of, to switch up my day. I don't usually go outside you see... So what's this Goobliee festival? This is actually my first time here... so I have no idea what to expect. And gookies? I have no idea what they are but they sound delicious for some reason... MMmmmm..."

Kalli's thoughts drifted for a moment as he imagined himself eating delicious jam-filled cookies. The friendly one lightly laughed while other one called Calamity Jason sighed at Kalli's daydreaming face.

Their reactions gently pulled Kalli back to his senses. "Any.. anyways, I hope it will be fun... haha.. and a new friend would nice too" He finished with a awkward laugh and a smile.

Prompt Day ; 1
Goobie(s) Involved ; Scorpio , Delphyne
Partner? ; N/A
If so, who? ; N/A
Prompt answer ;

Scorpio stares down at the prompt. How did he and master Delphyne meet, exactly? Their friendship wasn’t exactly traditional. Scorpio was certain that he had simply snuck inside the old tower the demigob lived in enough times that Delphyne began to see him as simply part of the tower, and never cared enough to question it or even bother killing him. For the most part, Delphyne rarely ever acknowledged him even now, so it was hard to say the first time the necromancer even spoke to him.


Perhaps it was a time shortly after Scorpio got into a habit of caring for the tower. Delphyne rarely ever left his study unless it was to get a scrap of food once every few days, or the even rarer instances when he snuck to his bedroom for a few hours of rest. But in those few moments, he did notice the tidiness of the hall around him. Before, the necromancer had left the old place to rot, but then the smaller violet agel showed up one day, hiding out in his tower from the nearby village, and began fixing up the place. The weakling was no threat to Delphyne, and as far as the demigob was concerned, he was earning his keep, so he paid him no mind. Truthfully, he often forgot that Scorpio was there.

That is, of course until he left his study one night, delirious from days–if not weeks–of not sleeping, and somehow still managed to notice that the hall was.. Dusty. More than that, the candles that were usually replaced daily had burned down to the wick, leaving an unsightly lump of melted wax below. Delphyne huffed in frustration at the sight, then groaned as a wave of sharp pain crashed over his temple and he continued his journey toward his bed chambers. It was nothing, he told himself. Either Scorpio had finally moved on and left, or something had happened to the pitiful agel. It wasn't like Delphyne cared either way. When the he reached his bedroom, Delphyne almost managed to drift off to sleep without thinking about it again…. Almost.

When the demigob woke the next morning, the dust still covered the furniture, and the old wax still pooled under the forgotten candles. Delphyne tried not to let it bother them, but after a few more days they had to admit to themself that were growing the smallest bit concerned. Which was ridiculous, they thought to themself, considering they had never once spoken to their small housekeeper. He was nothing but a nuisance to Delphyne, always lurking in the shadows just out of their field of vision, afraid to catch their eye or their ire. And yet…. Delphyne worried. Though they were too frustrated to do anything about it, and instead buried themself in work.

In actuality, Scorpio had grown ill. He lay holed up in a small makeshift room he had made for himself in a spare room many floors below Delphyne’s study and chambers. The path to recovery was a slow and restful one, leaving the little agel no time to preform his regular duties. After a fortnight, Scorpio was finally feeling more himself. He was horrified to see how quickly the tower had fallen to disrepair in his absence, like the old place was waiting to fall apart without him. He quickly got to work, dusting every surface, cleaning every mess, replacing every candle. When he was done, the tower looked almost cozy.

Scorpio took a moment to admire his work, before a ghostly chill ran up his spine and he turned to see Delphyne, standing directly behind him, silently watching him. The small violet agel squeaked in poorly contained terror, taking a few steps back in case the demigob decided to smite him for getting in their way. “M-Master Delphyne! My apologies, I–“

“…..You’re back.” The necromancer simply said instead, sounding almost pleasantly surprised, though their face remained neutral and unchanging.

“U-uhm, yes! Well, I never left, I was just sick!–“ Scorpio cut himself off from rambling further, then blinked in confusion. “Wait… you noticed?”

Delphyne bristled a bit at that, looking slightly embarrassed. They huffed and turned their gaze away from Scorpio before muttering, “Yes, well… I’ve gotten used to your tidying up the place, thats all.”

Scorpio grinned, not expecting at all for the demigob to acknowledge his existence, much less compliment him (in a roundabout way at least). “Ah, I see!” A feeling like pride swelled in his chest as he spoke, “Not to worry, Master Delphyne, I’m ready to return to my post immediatel—“

“Good,” Delphyne interrupted, looking at Scorpio sharply, “I expect to see this place spotless from now on.”
With that, the necromancer turned and stormed off, most likely returning to their study. In the quiet of the hall, Scorpio giggled to himself softly, before wandering off to tend to another area of the tower.

Even now, the memory makes Scorpio grin from ear to ear. These days their friendship was easier, with Scorpio often going on errands and traveling to pass along messages for Delphyne. That is the reason Scorpio was attending the Goobilee, you see, to study the goobie population, and to perhaps bring a few sweets back for Delphyne to try.

Snarl, Crimson, and Asher all arrived at the goobilee together. The question immediately brought a smile to Snarl's face. He loved goobilee, it's his second favorite holiday next to goo-o-ween!

"I'm super excited to spend this time with my family!" He looked towards Crimson, this would be their first goobilee they were officially together for. "I just really love getting to show my family how much I care for them."

Crimson looked up shyly at Snarl. Goobilee was probably her least favorite holiday. It was the only she felt bad for causing any chaos during. She also wasn't as good at expressing to Snarl how much she loved him. Words weren't really her strong suit. Understanding the look she gave Snarl, he leaned down and nuzzled the smaller goob.

Asher was excitedly running both the adult goobies, completely oblivious to their actions. "I'm just excited to eat gookies! Daddy said I could have as many as I wanted!"

gerard watches bayley begin to explain, smiling shyly, and beckoning her to continue.

"i was nervous too haha," even his face begins to get pink. "we wanted to get to know each other better, i really want to get some good snacks and play some games together!"

[Griff]

As they took in all of the goobies and their responses, even Jason found himself smiling. A small bit. A fact which Selia was quick to point out with a soft giggle. "I'd say someone is enjoying himself!" She commented in a song-song tone to him. Jason just sighed out, his rounded ears twitching back slightly but not for long.

"Yeah well... tch! Not my fault ya land-lubbers have contagious attitudes. Blimey... jus' take 'yer gookies and go on wi-" Selia gently reached up to ruffle Jason's ears. Something which made the old pirate actually stop and lean in a moment.

"What he means is, we're enjoying meeting all of you, learning more! Have you gone on any rides yet? There's the Tunnel of Love, the Ferris Wheel, the gooberry go rounds, the roller coaster, the gravitron, the zipper, the rock and roller... go out and experience some with your friends, lovers, and beloved ones!" She leans in close. "Guess which one I'm going to try and get Jason here to ride with me?" she asks with a wink.

"Come back 'ere with your stories and we'll have more prizes. Gookies and... stuff I found lyin' round. Yanno. Bounties. Hey, I may be a pirate but I learned sharin'... sometimes. Now off with ye!"

"Oh! One more thing, you can always just hang out here too and ask us things, we don't mind! The more friends the merrier I say!"

Goobie(s) Involved: Axl, Ryou, and Zora
Partner? nope

Prompt answer:

Ryou had to agree with Selia, nudging Axl as he spoke. "He's not the only one having a good time." Even Axl was starting to warm up a bit now that he was here. And not just because of the sun from the beautiful day that today was.

Ryou then suppresses a laugh as he watches how easily Jason is subdued by Selia ruffling his ears. You could definitely see that these two were close. He wishes that kind of relationship for Axl, one where he can just be himself, its why he drags him out to these sorts of places.

He lets out a quiet chuckle when his friend is huffing over the idea of rides. The gravitron and the zipper sounded cool. Ryou would drag Axl by the goo horn if he needed to to have them to try them out together.

Zora lets out a small sigh. Rides... He wasn't a thrill seeking kind of goobie so the roller coaster like rides wouldn't be any good for him. He couldn't go through the tunnel either. It would be weird to ride on a ride alone that was made for couples.

Maybe he could go on the merry goo round and then find somewhere to sit for a bit?

Goobie(s) Involved: Bailey
Partner?: no
If so, who? n/a
Link to Prompt answer if needed:
Bailey was starting to think that these two, Jason and Selia, were together themselves. Something about the way they interacted made it seem like they were so comfortable, and the type of comfortable you are when you are around your significant other. Bailey let out a short, yet longing sigh. Oh, how he will cherish the day when he finally finds someone who understands him. In the past, his love interests have all been learning experiences- helping him figure out what he likes, doesn't like, what he will tolerate, and even how to improve his communication. You see, Bailey is so laid back that plans often get forgotten, or worse, not even made. It isn't a form of neglect or disinterest, he's just so content with anything that it slips through his brain.
Bailey snapped out of his little daydream and back into reality, watching as the two Goobies in front of him continue to interact with each other. He thought for a moment- had he been on any rides? Nothing fun, anyways. Bailey shook his head in disappointment, "no rides yet, maybe I should start with the rollercoaster?" He said in response to Selia's question. "or the zipper, that sounds cool. What do you recommend?" Bailey asked, cocking his head slightly. He couldn't help but notice the rides and events going on behind Jason and Selia, which made his focus drift away from them and onto whatever was going on. He saw a food truck with hot dogs, the Ferris Wheel, and both young and old goobies laughing and playing. A part of him started to think he should have brought someone with him, to share in the adventure. maybe he'll meet a friend here though, who knows?

Goobie(s) Involved: vegas and calypso
Partner? no

Link to Prompt answer if needed:

vegas was always into the concept of goobilee - he loved walking up to random goobs who seemed to be alone and hanging out with them for a while. it was like an all-day party! sure, it did drain him of all his energy by the end of the day, but during that day he kicked his fears in the butt! …as he’d put it.

and today was no different!

he decided to greet a goob who was alone at a table eating some gookies and cream ice cream. “hello!” the goob looked up, smiled, and returned the greeting. “i’m vegas!”

“and my name’s calypso. nice to meet you.” vegas was excited - maybe he had finally met a new friend!

“mind if i sit down with you? you honestly seem kind of cool,” he responded.

calypso was taken aback. he was kind of weirded out by vegas’s approach, but i mean, someone to talk to would be kind of nice while he finished his ice cream. “oh, sure! i don’t mind.”

—

“hey, you’re pretty cool,” confessed calypso after he had finished his dessert.

“really?!”

amused by vegas’s disbelief, calypso replied, “yea! want to go on some rides with me? i’m fine with any of them! ..except the tunnel of love..”

“let’s do it!”

—

after a long day of riding and chatting, the two reminisced on their memories.

“what was your favorite ride?” vegas asked. personally, he was a fan of the thrill rides!

“hmm..” thought calypso. “definitely the rock and roller!” as a lover of thrill-seeking, vegas definitely agreed. “it was fun today,” he continued.

vegas smiled. “agreed!” he happily said as they walked over to calamity’s connections to share their adventures.
