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!

	You know Nik, I don't think he appreciates our concern at all. [She pouts a little before turning to look back at Stefan.] We just wanted to see how you were doing with your punishment. [She tilts her head.] Still dry, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He's pretty sure that even someone completely naive to these two would see right through that bullshit. He's linefacing at you two SO HARD.] Well, as you can see, I'm just fine. [Something tells him that if he's still dry by the time they walk away, it'll be a miracle.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Stefan, it's like you're a mindreader. ]

Fantastic! But [ always a but ] seeing as how we did take the time to come out here and lend our most sincere support -

[ To his sister he gives a conspiratory look before taking a step back and motioning toward the tank with his hand. ]

It would be horribly rude of us to leave without helping you fulfill the terms of your punishment.

[ Ladies first. ]

	And we wouldn't want to be rude. [She returns the look with one of her own as she steps forward, grabbing one of the balls they have lined up. She takes a swing and it doesn't land -- because she threw it not to. She figures it'd be more fun to build up the anticipation first, make Stefan wait for it.] Darn. I missed. [She steps back, then.] Your turn, Nik. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Right. Of course not. [Said very dryly. Because his punishment said nothing about being dunked. Only a specific amount of time. He doesn't flinch as she throws the ball, can see it's going to miss the moment it leaves her hand. And he doesn't want to give either of them the satisfaction.] You throw like a girl. [Maybe then they'll do this quicker and leave.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
