Games like this were made to be cheated, so if you think about it, it's almost like cheating if you don't cheat. What's the fun in winning fair and square, anyway? It's the winning that's fun. Which is why Lina is playing with the water guns, using her magic to (only sort of subtly) guide the jets to their targets with perfect accuracy. A few little victory bells go off, and Lina pumps a fist.

"Alright, hand it over! I want the big fluffy bunny up top." Lina grins, extremely rudely. Honestly, they don't even have to trick her into debt. She's greedy enough as it is. "What, you're going to be sore losers now?"

trying to leaf
Lina is one hundred percent about adventure and magic and mysterious traveling carnivals, but she is absolutely ZERO percent about being trapped in a place she can't leave when she pleases. Lina's wandered through enough forests to know how to get her bearings in unfamiliar landscape, but nothing's working -- not even magical methods. She keeps weaving her way through increasingly weird-looking foliage that somehow keeps depositing her along the periphery of the carnival no matter what she does, and after about an hour of it she's really starting to lose patience.

"Oh, come on!" The impotent frustration in her voice is palpable. Maybe not so impotent, because a little ball of flame is starting to glow in one cupped hand, although her voice is reaching impressive new heights of whininess. "Who puts a labyrinth enchantment on a forest like this? What is with all these trees? My feet are tired and I want to go home!"

tunnel of "love"
Lina Inverse, a sucker for cheesy romantic rides?? NEVER. Okay, so maybe she is just a tiny bit, but what girl doesn't love a little romance? That's her firm defense to whoever is in the boat with her, although if you're looking particularly princely (or like you have a lot of money) she might even be giving you the big ol' doe eyes. She would like the cave more if it glittered with actual gold, but either way, it's probably going okay even with Lina for a ride partner, right up until...the kraken.

Lina Inverse is a household name, in that in most households it's a curse. Lina Inverse has faced down multiple dark lords and demons and somehow come out the other end alive. Lina Inverse never says die.

Lina Inverse does, however, scramble all the way up the opposite edge of the boat shrieking when a tentacle slithers up out of the water. "What is that thing? Get it out get it out get it out!"

The glimmer of magic in her hands suggests she might be about to blast it out of the boat herself if no one else does anything.
