1 | ARRIVAL Welcome to the rest of your life, inmate! You are newly arrived to prison. Maybe it just happened or maybe you're still just settling in either way you have a new environment to explore and deal with and new people to meet!
2 | PARTY TIME Welcome to the Winter Ball! The seasons in the dome may not change, but for today only the prison is coated with a layer of fluffy, white snow. There's also an ice palace now conveniently located at the beach where the water is now covered by a thick coat of ice. Inside the palace with it's beautiful spires and frozen fractals it is surprisingly warm. How does it keep from melting? Such a good question with no solid answer. But it does make dancing a little easier, and don't worry, the floor is stone so you won't me slipping and sliding unless that's just your thing. There will be a variety of warm formal wear to choose from if you want to get into the spirit and a buffet of rich foods across from the dance floor. (Or turn it into a masquerade, prom, sock hop or Sadie Hawkin's thing. The power is yours!)
3 | RELOCATION It's a pretty normal day except one minute you were opening the door to your new apartment or the fridge and the next you were stepping into someone else's bathroom. Or maybe you get stuck on the floating island or ended up in the swimming pool. Surprise?
4 | EXPLORE SECTOR 6 Maybe you were curious or maybe you missed all the signs and warnings about going in this section of the prison. Either way, you're here now and some criminals are a little wilder than others. Watch out for hyena wasps, raptors, and lobster claws. But there are also beautiful areas to explore like Aurora Lake with it's waves of dancing colors. Floating rocks are pretty cool too. Do they ever fall?
5 | BAR SCENE Did you just unexpectedly wander into the Vampire Blood Shack? Oh, it offers a full range of non-bloody beverages, but you might want to be really clear if you order a Bloody Mary. Or maybe you ended up in Lyrical. It's a great spot to relax on a comfy couch and have a drink with a tiny umbrella. Of course it also features karaoke for all the unexpected surprises (good and bad) that brings. (Or any other bar that strikes your fancy on the locale.)
6 | DAY AT THE MUSEUM Marina has a lovely museum with a rotating selection of topics where you can see, read, and hear about that day's display. It often even comes with a gift shop. This is especially good times when you walk in and find "Vibrators through the Ages". (Or any other topic in the multiverse from rubber ducks to torture devices to a history of rick rolling.)
7 | MIXED BAG! Check out all our past events. Maybe you'll find something you want to try out while you test drive the setting.
