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!

Yeah. Strangely enough, I'm getting punished for letting myself get hurt.

[Though, in his mind, he's equating that with hurting someone else. Because the latter wouldn't have happened if he'd controlled himself in the first place.

Also, he's glancing at the ball briefly. He already knows Eric is old and powerful. Hitting that target, for someone like him, would be a very simple thing.]

The Wardens have a twisted sense of responsibility. We're not only to insure that we don't hurt anyone, but we're meant not to let harm come to ourselves. Sookie has escaped punishment for being hurt multiple times by drinking my blood. I suppose the injury must linger for a while.

[He could. He just has to determine whether he's going to throw it or not.]

Speaking of, how are you healing?

	[He nods in understanding, even if it seems stupid.] It lingered. [And thus, probably why he and Elena got in trouble.] But it's much better. I'll be good as new by the end of the day. [He's...really hoping he doesn't. He's had enough of the freezing cold water for the day.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The wardens have a twisted sense of morality, but then that should be apparent by the people who are here and the crimes they are here for.] Good to hear. [He tosses the ball up one more time.] I don't hold it against you. That you bit Sookie. I understand and you were remorseful. I'm sure you can understand my position.

	[His eyes follow the ball again before he once again meets Eric's gaze.] I would have done the same if you had bitten Elena. I'm grateful that you showed restraint. I'm not sure I could have managed the same. [Though he's quite certain Eric would have easily fought him off in that case.] How is her hand? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Eric shrugged a bit. It's a 'you're welcome' of sorts. As to how he would have fought if Stefan had attacked him, Eric isn't making any assumptions beyond the fact that his will to survive is immense. He believes it gives him a certain advantage, but then Stefan might carry the same will as far as he knows. Eric operates under the assumption that he's the biggest dog in the yard, but he's smart enough to know that making assumptions about another's ability will end up getting him killed.]

There isn't even a scar. Thank you for asking. [He won't mention that his blood has startlingly fast healing properties, although Stefan might figure that out for himself as he did see Eric give Sookie blood and it's far too soon for Sookie's hand to be entirely healed.]

Elena is quite protective of you. [He's sort of inquiring as to the nature of their relationship without outright asking.]

[Eric doesn't need to mention it, he saw it, for the most part, first hand. In a normal situation, back home, his would do the same thing. He has a feeling it would still help, but given how his own injuries had healed slower than normal...]

That's reassuring to hear.

[Elena might never have forgiven him if it hadn't.]

I'm protective of her. [It goes both ways.] We have...history.

	Ah. [That sort of history then.] It must be difficult for you here. [Because of Damon, although Eric isn't aware that they're brothers.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sanguino 2013-01-17 02:08 pm UTC (link)
	[Except he doesn't know about Damon yet. So that will be fun for him to find out from Elena later. He shakes his head.] I'm happy to just be around her. I'll always keep her safe. [Especially here and now, where she's still human.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vikingly 2013-01-18 07:33 pm UTC (link)
	So altruistic of you. [Eric hates altruism. It's ridiculous, pointless, cowardly and serves to make people miserable in his option. He sneers, tosses the ball up in the air one more time and then slams it home to sink Stefan in the dunk tank.] At least the selfish bastards are honest. [And he's turning to walk away.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
