"Toagster! This is so cool! I've always wanted to go to this thing!"

"I knew you would," Byakuya states, a smirk making its way to his lips.

The two make their way inside the fairgrounds. Byakuya's instantly hit with neon lights, the smells of deep fried food, and the thrilled screams of attendants on the rides.

The blond had never been to a carnival. Not once. He's only here because he didn't know where to take Yasuhiro for a date.

It wasn't a date per say. It was more of an experimental date. He wanted to see if he went to a date location -which he knows is one because he saw Kyoko mention that she was going to take Sayaka here- with Yasuhiro, just to see how strong his affection for the man was.

"Holy crap dude! We gotta play those carnival games over there! Y'know, I can use my crystal ball to see if it's rigged or not, it's right a good 30% of the time!" Yasuhiro says excitedly.

"Very well, let's go."

"Hmm... Hey! This one's rigged!" Yasuhiro points angrily at a stand which has balloons lined all over the walls and a jar of darts.

Yasuhiro sighs and the duo continue walking.

"I don't get it man, fifteen of them have been bull so far! Where the hell are the ones that actually work!?"

They stop at the next game. Byakuya observes it as Yasuhiro begins doing his fortune-telling thing. It appeared to be one of those ones with three cups and a ball that the owner shuffled around, and the participant would have to guess which cup had a ball in it at the end.

Byakuya had a keen eye. Even if that turned out to be difficult, or "rigged" as Yasuhiro might say, Byakuya could get it. The blonde had helped Celeste play three-card-monte before. She'd practiced so much that Byakuya had mastered being able to tell when someone had played a slight-of-hand trick on him.

"Rigged again!? Ugh!"

"Not so fast. I happen to be an expert at these sorts of games. I can win it."

"Dude!? I just said it was rigged!"

"Yes, well I don't care. Follow me."

Byakuya leads Yasuhiro closer to the booth where they see a short male with purple hair and a checkered bandanna around his neck.

"Hey! You looking to play?" The male, his name tag reads "Ouma," inquires.

"Yes," Byakuya answers.

"Great! So, the goal is to guess which cup this ball-" Ouma holds up an orange plastic ball in his pale fingers before tossing it into a cup and slamming it down between the two other cups on the table.

"-Under it by the time I finish moving the cups around. You have three rounds, the way to win is by guessing it right all three rounds! Also, each round it will get a bit more challenging. So, you in!?"

"Yes."

"Great! That'll be five hundred yen."

Byakuya hands the shorter male the money. Ouma slips the money into a cash register before placing his hands on the cups. He first lifts up all three cups to show that the ball is indeed in the middle cup. Byakuya focuses his gaze on that cup. He then slams the cups down and begins rotating.
