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!

	[Ye olde, eyepatch-wearing Xander is making the rounds, seeing what can be seen and possibly composing a menacing tower of everything fried. He has to try it all. How do you fry lemonade? How could he rest until he found out exactly what that was like? He's doing everyone a service here. You're welcome.] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Xander. [ hey check it out, she's attempting that wave again, and it's less stiff this time. she's also miraculously not wearing one of her ~~catsuits~~ dermal sheaths, clad in something a little more normal (sans the necklace and her combadge pinned to the font), and her hair's down. attempting to blend in is new and unsettling, but worth the endeavor. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sev. [He waves back, a little struck by the pretty. Beautiful. Gorgeous. He should say more words.] Hair down really works for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The Doctor frequently encouraged me to wear it down, but it got in the way of my work. [ when one was leaning over a console in astrometrics or crawling through jeffery's tubes to repair damaged conduits, it was easier to have your hair up, back, and out of the way. ] I, however, do not have any necessary tasks to perform within this facility.

	Lucky for us. [He smiles at her and then tries to do something with his lips other than this smiling thing.] Do you miss him? The Doctor? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Here's Dawn with a half-eaten plate of funnel cake. She bounds over to Xander, a little too much of reliving her childhood at an event like this.] Xander! They have fried everything here which is so much made of awesome, I can't even explain it. The awesome is un-explainable. There's even fried butter... which is so much tastier than it sounds.

	[Hey! It's a Dawn and she seems happy. Have a happy Xander in response.] I was thinking of trying that next. I wonder if they have fried Cheetos. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe but I think cheetoes are already fried. [Her nose scrunches up thoughtfully.] Or maybe not. You should look around with your eyes. Not that you can look around with anything else... except maybe your nose cause... you know... blind people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They are. I saw a making of the Cheetos special once. I'm just not opposed to refried cheesy goodness. Eye. [You said it so plural. It's still pretty new for him too, so moving on.] Are you having the fun? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
