200 — Anniversary Festival!

Happy Anniversary, Marina Nova!

The bots have been busy cleaning up the dome and setting up decorations for this momentous occasion, and by now there isn't a nook or cranny left un-pimped! Bright blue MarinaNova flags wave happily in the artificial breeze together with the colorful ribbons that have been wrapped around poles. The streets are illuminated by strings of lights and paper lanterns and each sector gate has been lovingly decorated with fragrant flower garlands.

Of course, that is far from all! There wouldn't be much of a festival without entertainment and your loving wardens have made absolutely sure that there's something for everyone!

Sector 0 Fairground: If you want to go faster, you have to scream louder! Sector 0 has been taken over by a fairground where you can find such old classics as the bumper cars, a haunted house of mirrors, a more romantic tunnel of love, a roller coaster, a classic merry-go-round and, of course, a ferris wheel.

Game Booths: Step right up! Test your skill and win a prize! Throughout the dome there's a variety of game booths, ranging from the classic ring toss and high striker to kissing booths and dunk tanks. There's also a duck pond game, balloon darts and goldfish scooping game — with mechanical goldfish, of course!

The prizes are all of the carnival variety, including but not limited to: stuffed animals, fake tattoos, cheap bracelets and necklaces, stickers, rubber reptiles, silly hats, wiggle snakes and sticky hands or other sticky things.

Performances: The other way to show your skill! There are two stages set up in the dome: the first one with sound equipment and instruments suitable for a musical performance — or perhaps just karaoke! If no one is using the stage, it will automatically play randomly selected music from a wide variety of genres. The second stage is set up to accommodate physical performances like gymnastics and when no one is performing you're treated to a projection of ball room dancers, gymnasts, modern dance, ballet and similar things!

There are also street performers scattered throughout the dome. You can watch robots juggle, eat fire, swallow swords or charm robot snakes! There's also face painting and the occasional robot dressed up as a human statue for your amusement.

Food: The food carts in sector 0 are now carrying food fit for the occasion. You can find classic carnival food like popcorn, cotton candy, corn dogs, funnel cakes and pizza slices, but also takoyaki, okonomiyaki, candied almonds, gyros, pirogues, egg rolls and of course snow cones and ice-cream cones. The theme has of course extended to the drink selection and you're welcome to quench your thirst with lemon shake ups, butterbeer, mead and malted milkshakes.

Enjoy!

[ hold the horses! Those are bumper cars. If anyone wants to race him, you can bet your ass he's over there making a train wreck out of the obstacle course.

Ain't no one drives a car better then Dean.

But, for the record, Dean's just like a kid in a candy store. It's been a while since he's been to an old fashioned carnival like this and like hell is he going to let it all go to waste because, for once, the wardens may have done a request right.

He's just living a dream...

But, for the record, just about anywhere is fair game for Dean and if you happen to get a shirt full of funnel cake, well... there's more where that came from. ]

	[For someone not legally old enough to drive, Robin's really good at it. After all, when you're used to driving motorcycles and Martian bioships, a simple bumper car is no problem. So he's speeding effortlessly through the obstacles, grinning wickedly at Dean as he drives past. Are you going to stand for that, Dean?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ and that earns a laugh out of Dean ] Not bad kid. I see you're not afraid to cause some collateral damage. [ but that doesn't mean Dean ain't going to stop trying to inch past him. This is just the distraction. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ why would there be funnel cake shirts. Dean, are you throwing shit. either way, some guy's narrowing his eyes up to him, deeply unimpressed. ] Really? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Dean just stifles a laugh and shrugs ] Sorry. I must've had something catch my eye. [ like that hot dame in a pencil skirt that just walked by. Honestly, he didn't mean to run into you. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[Don't look now Dean but Helix was going to be zooming up on you and ramming you into the wall to try and get past! Someone is equally good at racing much more dangerous machines. They're bumper cars, the older Winchester better be prepared to get some whiplash. Helix won't be playing fair.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eyeofthetiger 2013-01-11 02:33 pm UTC (link)
	[ Except you forgot something. This car has rearview mirrors. Spinning his wheel, Dean does an easy slide over to the right. Care for some neck and neck racing? Because that's exactly what that opening is giving Helix. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2013-01-12 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	[Excellent, his heart is racing seeing Dean's obvious skill behind the wheel. It's pretty awesome even for just shitty bumper cars. He goes neck and neck for awhile before yanking his wheel over to slam into him. He's grinning like a psycho. This is fun!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eyeofthetiger 2013-01-17 07:25 am UTC (link)
	[ Dean laughs and jerks his own wheel. After all, one slam is definitely worth another. ] Oh, c'mon... You can do better then that! I thought you were like, king of the hover cars! [ oh whoops, cone obstacle. Give him a moment to get back on track. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Rogue is out and about at the fair. She's there with Peter really, but they aren't necessarily attached at the hip and when she sees Dean, she can't help but go over and say hi.] You look like you're enjoyin' yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eyeofthetiger 2013-01-11 02:41 pm UTC (link)
	[ Dean's face immediately lights up at Rogue ] Of course I am. I'm practically the one that got you this fair. [ well, he had asked for it. The wardens just shot him down ] What about you? You're certainly looking a sight happier then the last time I saw you. [ of course, the last time was under extreme circumstances. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ikindalikeit 2013-01-14 04:38 pm UTC (link)
	Really? How'd you manage that? [Big smiles, not doubting him, just curious.] I'm doin'...real good. I'm here with my boyfriend. [Yeah that is a blush at the word boyfriend, although because of her abilities they are beyond chaste. So very much that Dean might not even qualify Peter as a boyfriend.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Just made a few suggestions a few weeks back. Apparently they actually took it to heart.

[ and then he does a double take ]

Boyfriend.

[ his gaze immediately drops down to her wrist. ] You ain't like, dating dating are you? With all the kissing and stuff? [ because she looks happy and he's pretty sure she freaked out about a gazillion on the freak scale when he just barely tried to touch her. ]

	[It's not an awesome dome-wide racetrack, but it'll suffice. Especially since Tony managed to soup up his bumper car just a little bit, shhh. Amazing what connecting his chest plate to the propulsion system can do.] [Have a hearty BUMP before Tony carts away at crazy-high bumper car speeds. In reverse.] He shoots, he scores!

	[ Dean jerks in his seat, swiveling around to catch a glimpse of -- ] Damn it, Tony. You forgot to bring the ball! [ but that sounds marvelous. Bumper car basketball. They should turn it into a national sport. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	one_liner 2013-01-13 12:08 am UTC (link)
	I knew I forgot something. But I did remember the gas pedal! [He flips a few switches on the device he has rigged up to the car and off he whizzes at a ridiculous speed, doing three blurred laps before slamming into Dean, T-bone style.] That's at least three points, right there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eyeofthetiger 2013-01-17 07:24 am UTC (link)
	[ spoilsport. Dean was actually enjoying his drive! ] I cry foul. I think you traveled. [ and he'll just yank is car around and try to give Tony the worst treatment he can think of. He's keying your car. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Oh the bumper cars. They're like looking at something out of a dream for Bucky. He's never seen the like before and really, watching people run into each other is really amusing. This carnival may have been just what the doctored ordered.

The fact there are grown adults playing around in them along with what young kids there are just makes him laugh.]

Gonna be able to get your legs out of that thing?

	eyeofthetiger 2013-01-11 03:06 pm UTC (link)
	[ Dean rolls to a screeching halt next to Bucky, legs definitely cramping up just a bit but grinning like a loon ] Does it matter? If they have to they can pry me out of this thing. [ or he may just jump track and take it home. He hasn't quite decided yet. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gotcliffed 2013-01-16 06:40 pm UTC (link)
	[Bucky laughs at that.] Is that the point of this game, just running into each other? They should have just given us real cars. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
