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!

[ better comparatively. she's had time to process, to figure out what to do, what to think, what she does think and feel past the initial onslaught. there's something about being battle-ready that has its upsides.

that's one of those questions though - one of those questions she can't really answer. she swallows thickly. ] I broke a rule. That's really all I can say. [ anything more, and she'd be exposing stefan. her eyes are communicating as much: that she'd like to say, but she can't. ]

	[It's a good thing you have expressive eyes, Elena.] Woman of mystery. [There's a soft smile.] So... No one's bothering you here are they? [Because he will moose at them if they do. You do not want the verb end of a moose.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	matter 2013-01-02 05:24 am UTC (link)
	[ she smiles too at that - small. she doesn't really like the mystery so much, but she appreciates sam accepts and understands it. and that he's a big macho moose. her smile grows, slowly and quizzically. ] Not yet. [ oh hey, thought: she's inclining her chin down a bit to look up at him. ] Do you want to bother me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Have you ever seen a moose blush? You might not today either, but there is definitely an escape of soft laughter to try and cut the tension he just felt build up at the way she was looking at him. That was a good look.] Wouldn't that be like littering in front of a road-side clean up crew? [Not a no. Just a highly romantic comparison.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	matter 2013-01-02 06:06 am UTC (link)
	[ ha, ha; very romantic. look, she's an unkissable friend simply trying to do her prison-ly duty. elena's eyes closes as she lets out a breath of a laugh. ] I don't see any in the area, but I do hear these things can get messy. [ in other words: yep sam, it's exactly like that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-01-02 06:10 am UTC (link)
	[So incredibly unkissable. What would even do with those lips?] Right. I just mean... You probably don't want to be bothered. [He's being a gentleman, god.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	matter 2013-01-02 06:16 am UTC (link)
	[ nothing at all, obviously. not kiss them. and he's selling himself short, is what he's doing, okay. ] How about a kiss on the cheek and I won't be bothered at all? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-01-02 06:20 am UTC (link)
	[His smile might just be growing. Watch out, cheeks, it's coming for you!] It's a deal. [He'll just lean down some because height is a thing here.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	matter 2013-01-02 06:26 am UTC (link)
	[ it is a thing, and that's why elena smiles some, and reaches to cradle his face, pushes up on a tip-toe over their divide. she presses a kiss next to the corner of his mouth. there. completely innocent. she drops down on her heels, still smiling, and takes a moment to pull her hands away from his face. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He wasn't fully expecting the cradling or just how close to lips she was. He was expecting her to be warm and her lips soft and there was no disappointment there. There may have also been the slightest turning toward her as she pulled away. Nothing to see here.

Is there a quota? Because if there's a quota he could probably be more help here. She is a friend after all and friends help friends.]

Thanks. [Okay, that felt awkward to say, but what do you say?

[ thanks will do. don't think she didn't notice that turning in, because she did, and it did result in her gaze dropping to his lips only to fly back up to his eyes and - oh. (if she's honest with herself, it's not the first time she's felt something, noticed something, with sam, about sam, but it's been something she doesn't mean to react to. elena gilbert: always doing and feeling the things she doesn't mean to do or feel.)

she smiles. ]

I should thank you. Everyone else were loiterers.

	I guess that means I should be moving on. [There might be a question in his voice. He doesn't really want to, but it sounds like a safe option too.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
