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!

[Rose is there off to the side to watch the show. She's seen 'magic' shows before, but she has a feeling the magic is a bit different with Zatanna. She'd seen what she'd done with the dream catchers one time.]

[Different, in that she had inherited some fantastic performance skills. But otherwise, still legitimate; she made a point not to say a word during the entire routine as evidence that there were no actual spells being cast.]

[Zatanna manages to catch a glimpse of Rose in the audience, offering a friendly wave once the set was over.]

[Rose waves back, delighted with the show.] You were brilliant.

Thanks.

This your first time?

[Witnessing a magic show, she means.]

Hope it was as good as you remember.

[Since childhood tended to up the wow factor for most people.]

[Rose nods at that] You were brilliant. Have you been doin' that sorta thing long?


[It held up well enough. Rose has a tendency to look for the science in it because of the Doctor, but it's a secondary sort of tendency developed because of the Doctor. Her first instinct is to be wowed by it all.]

By myself? [She shakes her head] Not really, no.

But I grew up watching my dad on the stage, and he taught me pretty much everything he knew.

[She says this with more than a hint of pride. Talking about her father was difficult, but nothing would ever ruin the good memories for her.]

Yeah? He was a stage magician then? Always did sorta wonder how someone got their start doin' that.

[She nods]

Mm-hmm. Since before I was born, even.

It depends. Some people just have a knack for the stage, either because they inherited talent or even before they managed to get lucky enough to find the right mentor. Dad actually used to tutor a few beginners way back when.

Guess I never thought 'bout magician bein' a sorta...career even though I know it is. Magic school all seems very...fictional, you know?

Probably because it's super-competitive. You've really gotta be the best of the best in order to really get anyway.

Fortunately, my dad just happens to be at the top of both fields.

[Stage magic and the real deal.]

That makes sense.

[head tilt]

Both fields?

He's a master magician and sorcerer.

[There's a difference.]

[She takes a sharp breath.] Right. Magic is real in your world, not just...science.

It's really not in yours?

You've never experienced something too impossible to be anything but?

Lotsa things that were impossible, but it was always...science or alien.

Shame.

Your world doesn't know that it's been missing.

With the Doctor, it wasn't just one world. Just all of 'em. Lotsa people believe in magic. It's just not real in my...universe? World? M'not sure which one applies.

Universe might be the better term, in this case.

Probably. [It works better than anything else really.] Is it common here? Actual magic?

[info]notbabymagic
2013-01-15 04:43 am UTC (link)
Not really. [Which sucked, because it put a big damper on her training.] People with various powers, yeah. But Magic-magic is something I've only seen maybe two or three other people do since I've been here.

[info]mightbelate
2013-01-18 02:42 am UTC (link)
You'd think it'd be more common here. 'Least I would. Maybe magic users are nicer people?

[Gee, thanks, Rose.]

For the record, I know tons of magic users who are way worse than I am.

Oh! I didn't mean that. Just meant...you seem nice enough. it's not like I think everyone here deserves to be here.
