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!

	[ he isn't mildly disappointed upon their parting or anything. absolutely not. his commentary begins with a swipe of his tongue over his lips and a satisfied smile as he catches his breath. ] Well, now. I'd say my night has been drastically improved. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Always a nice thing to hear. I'm glad it was to your satisfaction. [Genuinely, although her words do carry a slightly flirtatious tint.] I'll be here for another hour or so, if you find yourself lacking for entertainment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ being flirted with, however slightly, is another thing that rarely, if ever, happens. beneath his neutral mentat mask, he is ever-so-slightly dumbfounded, and terribly amused. ]

We shall see, eh? [ trying out a flirtatious tone of his own— he is even so bold as to move to brush a bit of hair from her face as he speaks. ] I myself have been confined to a booth, if you find yourself needing more company.

	Have you? [She doesn't mind his attempt at flirting, it's rather sweet.] I suppose that explains your assumption that I was being forced. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've been forced to function as a "human calculator" for the benefit of the facility. [ all flirtation has pretty much been replaced by a tone of utter disdain and displeasure. ] By the end, there is a distinct possibility that I will have gone mad. [ as if he isn't already! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I see. My condolences. [It seems the right thing to say, seeing as it's upset him so.] Perhaps you'll get one or two intriguing questions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They are appreciated, my dear, but schoolchildren's mathematics have never been intriguing to a mind such as mine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What sort of mathematics are intriguing to you? I could perhaps come up with a few questions in your chosen arena. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_eyed 2013-01-06 07:30 pm UTC (link)
	It's simply that such things are my most basic functions— I am not meant to be a mere calculator. [ shakes his head; he'd sound a bit more impatient with anyone else, but... lacus has earned his favor for the moment. ] But that is a lovely thought; I'm sure that whatever you come up with shall be a boon. Perhaps you will surprise me again, eh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can only hope. Perhaps I'll offer Goldbach's conjecture to start you off. I'd be intrigued to see what your mind can do with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ he actually makes a noise of mild delight at that! a fond smile and a rather impressed expression turn his lips as he looks at her. ] You've done it again, dear— it is so rare that anyone speaks of such things. [ he glances at the line that's formed behind him and chuckles. ] Ah, but I'm afraid I must away. Do call upon me when you finish here; I shall do my utmost to live up to your intrigue.

	I surely will, Piter. I hope you find at least a few things that are a bit of a challenge. [She waves, and turns back to her line of customers.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
