someone (probably gavin, because why not, because of course, because who else) ends up convincing the whole fake ah crew to go out to the fairgrounds at del perro pier (or at least the cooler fairgrounds in my mind that has more rides and games because i am a child at heart) and it goes spectacularly
or spectacularly poorly, depending on who you ask
- like geoff screams like a baby during any ride more intense than the spinning teacups
- and you’d think that everybody wears “if found please return to geoff” “i am geoff” shirts, but in reality they’re absolutely “if found please return to jack” “regrettably, i am jack” shirts
- ray drags ryan to every ride he wants to go on so he can use ryan’s natural aura of intimidation to scare everybody in front of them out of line and get to all the rides faster
- michael eats all the scary looking carnival food and makes gavin retch into no fewer than four different trash cans
- (and has to be hospitalized for stomach pumping that night probably because let’s be real)
- ryan inexplicably insists on going down the huge slide you use a burlap sack to slide down on like four times
- jack refuses to say why but is somehow skilled at apparently every carnival game in existence and ends up winning SO MANY stuffed animals and makes ryan carry them all
- the image of the vagabond staggering around underneath the weight of like fifteen different three-foot-tall plushies goes onto every social media site ever
- gavin gets stuck on the ferris wheel three separate times, and the fact that ray and michael are always found hovering around the control box of the ride when it happens is “a total coincidence, geoff”
- when they inevitably end up getting kicked off the pier, they show back up an hour later wearing stupid disguises (idea courtesy of ryan) and pretending not to speak english (idea courtesy of ray)
