I walk over to a nearby booth where you can throw three darts at balloons for ten dollars. The sign said kids win a prize every time, and I -- foolishly -- thought they would give me a prize just for trying too. NOPE.

I got two balloons to pop, but I threw my second dart exactly where the first balloon was at. He offers me another chance to throw three darts for $10, and if I just hit one of them this time for a third balloon total he's give me a prize...what a nice guy. However, their prizes are tiny and puny and not at all worth $20. I will do better soon. We playfully haggle awhile but eventually shake hands and part ways.

Talked with the carnival worked awhile! Jimbo seemed to be wheelchair-bound and struck me as "if Mike from Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul had more of a military vibe." He said he worked the carnival for thirty-five years. YEARS! I asked him how long he's done this game and he said twenty-eight years. YEARS AGAIN! That's a long time to watch people pop balloons! I asked him if there was something that stuck with him about the game, and he said it felt more peaceful than other games...it tooks him an extra quarter-second longer than usual to answer this, which felt subtlety notable. I walk by the game later and don't see him this time, so I wondered how much he said was true and how much was messing with me...figured he just left early since there was a new woman in his place, but who knows.

Okay, so no easy prize, but I did get a filler post for a message board out of it for ten bucks. That's worthwhile, right? SMASH THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON AND DONATE TO MY PATREON

We're done with the sidequest now. Let's return to the main plot: whoopin' that ass at making beer bottles vertical.
