[Silvanus "Silas" Nikias]

jump at the sound of your heartbeat

Snow was finally almost absent on the ground and in the air. The sun was destroying it and the grass could finally breathe with the people of New Jersey. Instead of being cooped up inside all day like the grass underground, they finally flocked outside on this warmer day. Spring was finally here, though despite the cold winds, the sun was out longer due to the axis of the Earth, and there was no snow upon the ground... It was warm out with cool winds... It was just a nice day overall. So with that in mind, the carnival started to get step up until one day, finally, they opened. It was jammed packed as everyone wanted to go there. Same old rides, same old atmosphere, but it was just that same atmosphere that brought everyone together. Silvanus didn't blame them or judge them at all. He knew if he had a family he'd go there together as well. Sadly, he didn't have one, but that didn't stop the man from trying to hang out with some of his friends. Unfortunately, they couldn’t make it, which left him at a predicament: stay at home and not go – save it for another day... Or go and say forget them, this was his day off and he was going to have fun. Grabbing his keys and wrapping a loose scarf around his neck for it may be warm out but the winds were cold, it was easy to see what option he picked.

When he drove there, the place was packed... He figured as much. Nonetheless, he managed to find a spot in the shade... Though knowing the altitude and angle of the sun, give or take two hours and his car would be right in direct sunlight. Oh well.... At least it wouldn't be boiling hot, just hot, right? Paying up, he walked inside and nearly fell over from some children running past him. Shrugging, the man soon went to one of the stands. Elephant ears... Classic carnival food... Oh, and some frozen lemonade, too. Not healthy at all, but did Silvanus care? Nope, not at all. His body was fit to a healthy extent. Sure he had muscles but nothing to necessarily brag about. He could pig out once in a while, right? Well, a little more than usual. He worked it off and burned it off so no biggie. His body didn't punish him for such an act. Drinking about half of his lemonade, he made it to one of the game stands and set his elephant eat down on the counter with his lemonade. It was one of those dart games... Never really played much with darts, more like knives, swords, guns, as well as bows and arrows, so this would be new – to take his previous experience and apply it here.

“Oh drat.” He said, missing the first balloon. Okay, this looked easier than it actually was. Taking a bite of his elephant ear, the man finally concentrated. Okay, now his 'game face' was on. Adjusting his torso a bit so it leaned on the counter just a tad, he aimed the dart before throwing it. Pop! He popped one of the bigger balloons. “Awesome.” Okay, with his last one he missed. Nonetheless, that didn't mean he'd scarf up another few bucks to play it again. It took him a few more tries until he got decent with it and finally hit thee out of three – which won him a prize. What he expected to get was one of those dart boards, but what he got was those stuffed animals. He had the choice between a monkey, a fox, and a snake... He arched a brow; not really wanting it. But hey, why not give it away? Make someone happy? He may have lost ten bucks, but he was happy to have known he beat a game. That was all that mattered. Seeing the first person that was close enough to him he waved at the person; getting a little in their face a bit since they was walking past him, “Hey! Hey!” Once he gathered her attention, he continued, “I don't like stuffed animals, so want my prize? Just pick one of those three and you can have it.”
