"You're a famous internet star? Impressive! So, are you gonna go online and boast about your prize?"
"After you, Maria! You were in the line before me!" Oca gave the inkling, Maria a warm smile. "Good luck!"
"Let's see..." she reached for her wallet. "One roll is 500, right?"She counted how many rolls she can make. She had got herself a good amount of money from Turf Wars, ranked battles, as well as some extra profits earned from donations shared among the peace organization she created, the Octo-Squid Bond Reform community. Not a lot of people had heard of this group, but the community is growing in size day by day. "I can make 12 rolls if I spend all my money... but of course I'm not gonna use all my cash! I'll try 5 rolls. Hey, Basor, how much do you have left? I can lend you some! If we run out of cash I can always go back to turf wars!"
(ceylon basor maria jones Nah Oca won't use up all her cash. Octarians know how to save money because... y'know  )

Oca is nice, as always. She doesn't seem to care about herself. All she does is to serve others...
"No thanks. I think I have enough cash for four more rolls.""By the way, nice to meet you guys!" she pulled up a smile on her face and tugged the shameful dummy prize away, as if she never got it.
"...I'm surpised none of you has actually questioned my appearance. I didn't mean the fact I'm an Octoling, I mean..." my single eye that's in the middle of my face, she tried to say. But she stopped. She might regret bringing out that subject. Is this the reason why they're so nervous around her? ( ceylon oca maria jones The one-eyed cimamon roll. D'aww... long story short she's an Octoball Octoling, one of the eight Octoling sub-races. She grew up like any Octoling except instead of an octopus she started off as a smol Octoball. So by the time she had full control of her body she is an Octoling with some features seen on an Octoball, like the one eye and that huge single sucker behind her head)

Ceylon sunk her head between her shoulders as the two octarians and a suppose squid-tube star were getting chummy with each other. From the sounds of it, the two octolings sounded rather nice, maybe a bit too nice while the squid-tube star spurred the idea of rolling for more. They all did the same as Ceylon did earlier, checking their cash on hand to see how long they can keep their bets going. Some wanted to see if they could win rather than try in a die-hard fashion. Not a bad thing but when looking at it from afar, when removing the one prize she did want, Ceylon can see that it was just a cash grab to try and get a neat prize on a supposed good deal during the squidmas rush.
Oh but who cares about that really!! The thrill of trying for the lotto prize was what made these things so addicting in the first place. Ceylon had her eye on the prize more than anything with time being second after lying her way to be in the mall in the first place. She grabbed her money and slammed it on the counter to demand a rematch with the lotto roller. "One more time!" She demanded with determination. Her hand gripped the roller as she started to turn in half a crank to wind herself up. This WILL be the winning roll, she thought to herself. She will get that prized Dancing Squidmas lamp! she could feel it!
plunk
A ball fell out of the barrel and not even a full rotation of the wheel. A white color.
"Sorry miss, better luck next time. Next contestant!~"
The color faded from Ceylon as she sank to the back of the line with a pitiful wooommmmyyyy with her face buried in her tentacle in embarrassment.

"I guess so. Hehe." she answered to oca. She stepped to the table. "Here goes nothing." she then said to herself as she pulled the lever. A white bead fell out. "Sorry, nice try at least." the fish man said. "Darn, second prize. So much for making my fans jealous..." as she walked away. ( oca basor ceylon I was going to steal everyone's thunder then this happened...) |

Basor was at the end of the line, right behind Maria and Oca. It seems that most inklings are here to watch. The ones who are actually taking the bet are Maria, Oca, herself and the inkling who is at the start of the line. Plunk. A white bead rolled out of the barrel. The sardine gave her the same words of encouragement which she cannot feel any passion within. He said just because it was part of the buisness... The inkling sighed under her breath and went to the back of the line. "Someone will earn that first prize. That someone might be you, or any of us." she tried to give the inkling comfort. "But if you don't roll, then the chance for you to get the prize is zero.""Good luck, Oca!"
(oca ceylon maria jones Does anyone, like anyone, even gonna have the guts to say their OC got the first pirze??) |

"One roll, please, sir!" Oca handed the sardine 500 coins. She grabbed the lever and pulled it. The barrel spun a few rounds, and no bead has dropped. Plunk. A bead dropped out of the barrel after a good amount of turns. A bright red bead for the second prize! "Congradulations, miss! The second prize is this exclusive Ancho-V t-shirt!" the fishman was impressed. He handed Oca a neatly folded black t-shirt, with the eye-catching, silver logo of Ancho-V Games on top. "They've just stopped selling them at the stall on the other side of the mall yesterday, but it's quite expensive. You're lucky to get it on your first roll!" "Yipee!" she squealed. She unfolded the t-shirt in order to take a good look at the t-shirt. It's slightly oversized, and definetly not something warm to wear in a cold weather like today. She can hear a few gasps within the crowd, amazed by the Octoling's luck. ( basor ceylon maria jones I do have the guts to say Oca is a lucky Octoling She'd probably spent most of her bad luck in her childhood...)

Ceylon sulked up to the barrel roll, putting in her 500 and praying hard to the great Zapfish above for something better. She didn't want to grand prize, just the dancing squid lamp. Third tier prize or bust.
"C'mon! Lamp!!" Ceylon yelled a bit too loudly for the indoor mall as she turned the lever over and over, as fast as her scrawny arms could go. Her eyes were shut tightly in the effort of turning the crank that the sale's clerk had to hold the barrel still or else she'd end up rolling for too many turns.
"We have a winner! Tour of Ancho-V Games and a rare figurine for the firey squid!"
Ceylon opened one eye at a time to find a shiny yellow ball tucked into the corner of the tray. "Eh!?" She stared a tit and even poked it a little as if it was real but the clerk took it away and handed her the box of a lamp she didn't want and tour passes for four, another item she didn't want. "EH!?" She looked at the prizes confused and stunned for the moment before raising a hand. "Can I trade the lamp for the squidmas one?"
"Sorry kid. Prizes are limited."
"Ohh...." What do I do now? I don't have any friends for the rest of the tickets.
((really wanted to avoid this, I guess it's clear who these tickets are going toward))

Basor was kind of disapoointed when the first prize was taken by the yellow Inkling. It's her turn now. She just wanted something better than a dummy prize. She handed the sardine 500 coins for her roll. plunk. Out came a forest green bead. Basor stepped back a bit to see the list of what tier the green bead is. Before she did, the sardine answered her question:
"Not bad! Third prize! You have this beautiful lamp as the third prize!""A lamp? I don't want a lamp!" she murmured. There is no need for another piece of garbage in her room to waste precious electricity. Despite that, she still reached her hands to recieve her prize. "But it still looks kinda cool turned off..."

Oca noticed that Basor and that Inkling weren't happy about their prizes. They wanted each other's prizes. Oddly enough, they weren't paying attention to what each other had. "Hey! How about the two of you swap prizes? You wanted each other's prizes, right? You can have the lamp, and Basor can have the tickets and that figurine!"( basor maria jones ceylon Oca is here to save the day (?)) |

"Even Maria agrees with me. C'mon! Don't disappoint each other!" Oca added. (lame single sentence so I can drop off an OOC message: HAPPY NEW YEAR! Oh yeah, timezones allows me to dwell in the future-- I mean celebrate new year earlier. basor ceylon maria jones )

Ceylon wasn't sure of these people, let alone the octolings. They did befriend the other inkling though so they couldn't be too bad yet the idea of tradingfelt oddly forced. Ceylon shrunk back a little as everyone just agreed to the idea without asking for her own opinion about it.
"Fine!" She yelled at them, feeling very irked by this. She went up to the one eyed octoling and held out the four ticket envelope and the stand. "We're trading. Lamp for these." With the other two around still and the store clerks even looking at her, Ceylon forced the box and tickets in the octoling's hand and took the dancing squid lamp. "There. Fair trade," were her parting words before running away to another part of the mall. While she wanted to savor the lamp, Ceylon couldn't get over the scene as she scowled to hide at the food court.

"That was... quick." Basor couldn't even say "yes" before the inkling forcefully took the lamp and stuffed the tickets along with the figurine.
"Well, I can take Oca with me on the trip... oh hey, Maria! You're an internet star, right? Do you want to go as well? Maybe you can record a video about it! Your fans might want to see it!" That would be nice if she can hang out with inklings! ( oca maria jones ceylon so that's it for Ceylon?)

"That inkling doesn't trust Octolings..." Oca sighed. "Hey, how about we have dinner? We can find somewhere to eat, warm ourselves up from this cold weather..." Where did Ceylon go?
"To be honest, I was expecting her to stay behind... it would be nice if we can spend all four tickets within the four of us."( basor ceylon maria jones I can get another OC in to roleplay if Ceylon refuses to go. But the fact that I'll be managing three OCs is just... uh... not okay? I'm already managing Basor and Oca and beasting half of the thread myself.)
