Maybe if I say... I'd really rather-- no bother that's argumenting too!
Oh, well, I guess I'll just have some candyfloss.
(I think we're doing pretty well over there on the stopping fighting - but like I'm going to pass up the offer of free sugar)

There has been a lot of very, very bad feeling on the Board lately. A lot of it has been directed at each other for various reasons, none of which are very good. (The genuine grievances are an exception, no need for discussion there.) We are friends and PPCers and thus it's pretty damn easy to hurt each other with words, especially those of us who've been around a while. And, as Vixenmage put it, we all seem to be running out of energy to deal with this.
We need to stop the fighting and arguing now, and forgive each other for what is clearly a set of incredibly sad mistakes and misunderstandings.
To that end, then, I declare this thread an argument-free zone and funfair. There are candyfloss (or cotton candy, or fairy floss, or whatever your local name for it is) booths, rollercoasters, big wheels, haunted houses with things that go "woooOOOOooo" a lot, fun houses with odd floors and staircases, a hall of mirrors, and other such oddities of entertainment. Feel free to share in building it!
And finally, the speciality of this particular funfair, the stall I set up in an earlier thread - the hug booth, manned by yours truly! Come and claim your free hugs* today!
I think we all deserve to have a bit of levity now, guys. Come and join in the fun. :D

*Mixes pink and blue cotton candy* I have purple cotton candy! *Waves around, then eats.*
Cass, can I have another hug? It hasn't been a good day.
*sits down with you and hugs for as long as you like*
It's a renewable resource, you can have all the hugs you want.
Yum! I don't think I've ever mentioned this, but you're probably the most amazing person on this board. (Apart from the one who started the sharks. vs bears argument...)
To the end of making everyone feel better, I have a song and a never-ending box of sparklers in random colors. Take one or a handful and enjoy.
*ducks out of sight to enjoy the fairy floss*
I can't remember the last time I had some. *Pulls a piece off and eats it*
Cyba Zero does a tour of all the roller coasters, thoroughly enjoying a legitimate excuse to whoop, scream and generally be noisy (unlike usual). She is now extremely hyper.
She dashes over to Cassie's hug booth, hugs her in thanks for such a wonderful funfair, and dashes off for round two.
A/N: yes, this is true - my sister recently informed me that roller coasters make me more hyper than coffee (which takes some doing).
What funfair would be complete without a kissing booth? And who wouldn't want a kiss from a roguishly charming young man, right?
I'll let you know if I find any guys like that. In the mean time, I spot a rollercoaster with my name on it.
Yeah, let's hug.
*lots of hugs for Wikimaster* ^_^
I'm resisting the urge to spell it 'yupr'.
You do have a helter skelter!
[Slides again and again and again...]

It'll have to be a cautious one though. Wouldn't want to squash the foetus, she hasn't done anything to deserve it apart from making my life an unrelenting misery since January. But you know, apart from that.
Can someone point me to the doughnut stand? There must be a doughnut stand here somewhere.
Of course there is a doughnut stand! It's over near the bumper cars. We have refreshments of all sorts.
*Skuttles away from lurking in the corners of the Drama Treads, and up to the Hugging booth.*
Hugs are awesome. And fairs are awesome.
*wanders over to an unclaimed space, sets up a chair, takes off his hat, lays it carefully on the ground, chains himself to the chair, and starts picking the locks with his toes*
"Escapism, seeee it heeeeree!"
*over the fair tannoy system* It's great to see you guys having fun here. This evening, we will be having a firework display by the ferris wheel! We've laid in a great exclusive stock from that fantastic canonical shop Weasley's Wizard Wheezes! Rude sparklers for everyone!
-Sets up a booth-
-Hangs a sign. It reads 'Tea House'-
Hear ye hear ye! Today only! Non-carnivorous tea!
Ye see, I be guardin' me ride here. *gestures with cutlass towards Waltzers* *which I am standing on*
Maybe if I say... I'd really rather-- no bother that's argumenting too!

I hereby claim the Waltzers as my own personal property! *stands on ride and waves plastic cutlass* If any of ye scurvy dogs prefer another ride, then ye'll be walkin' the plank!

*eats some fairy floss, hugs Cassie and heads to the ferris wheel* Wow, that's a great view.
*runs to the Dungeons and Dragon ride*
*gets sucked into another world*
*is now a scantily clad acrobat*
I really should have seen this coming ...
*makes a break for the bumper cars* I got dibs on the red one!
