One thing Echo was curious about at this carnival was the games it included. Ring toss, apple bobbing, darts, you name it, Echo wanted to explore it. With the warm breeze in his fur, he let Jester show him all the games they could play. He was confident that he would win every single game he encountered with ease. One of the first was the bean bag toss. Aiming high into the sky Echo threw the first bag, hurtling towards a far away cloud, unsurprisingly, missing his shot by a few hundred kilometers.

Jester notified the overachieving snare that the goal of the game was to get the bean bags into the slots rather than seeing how far it could be thrown.

“Ah..” mumbling to himself Echo steadied his position, “Why, that does make a bit more sense.”

Reading his second throw he was off by a little, and his third he got even farther. He was beginning to think that this was a bit harder than he had thought it would be.

It took until his sixth throw where he was finally able to land it, however, only landing one bean bag garnered him the smallest prize, a tiny rubber duck. Jester was quick to laugh at the irony of Echo’s big talk of winning all these grand prizes, but the snare only huffed in response.

“I could have easily gotten the big prize!” He yelped, placing the rubber duck in a bag to his side, “I would never lose a game..”

Echo, though, continued to deny playing any other games except the apple bobbing. Though it seems he only did that to get food, to Jester’s amusement.
