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!

	I used to pay a visit, whenever I got th' chance. Not for quite th' same reasons though. [ Always the hunt. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-01-04 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	Whatever your reasons are, it's none of my business. [Though she could guess what they might be.] You plan on sticking around for longer? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-05 12:11 am UTC (link)
	I'm sure you already know. [ Under his breath. ] Yeah, I was thinkin' 'bout staying for a while longer. Take in th' sights... do some people watchin'. What about you? Got somewhere to be? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-01-05 01:13 am UTC (link)
	No, I don't. I have time to hang around for a little while longer. There's some things I've yet to see anyway so you can come along with me. [She casts a smile in his direction.] Come on, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-05 03:17 pm UTC (link)
	[ He shoots her an incredulous look — making up his mind for him, are we? — but nods nonetheless. ] Not like it was a bad idea last time... [ He takes a moment to discard the cigarette before following along. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-01-05 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	Of course it wasn't. [She gives him a teasing smile and looks around for an interesting place or thing to see. After a few minutes, Rose turns to look at him.] Is there anything you haven't seen yet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-06 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	Plenty of things. [ He gives her a look and a cocked brow, but since she was probably referring to the festival... ] Not really... th' dunk tank's always good fun though. If you were lookin' for suggestions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-01-06 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	[Rose returns that look easily, smiling on the inside.] The dunk tank is a good suggestion as any. I can show you just how good my aim is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-08 01:50 am UTC (link)
	See, that I'd really like to see. 's always entertainin', watchin' the poor sods they put up there. [ And if there was any question, no he's not volunteering. He got all the bathing he wanted at the beach the other day. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-01-08 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. Watching them get absolutely soaked. [Rose says with amusement before her eyes cast over him.] Though I daresay you'd look a treat if you were drenched. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-09 05:02 pm UTC (link)
	[ He can't help but chuckle at that. This is... very refreshing. ] Should've joined me at th' beach the other day, then. I'm sure we could've had some fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-01-09 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	We can go another time. A little fun on the beach isn't something to be sniffed at after all. [She was enjoying herself now.] Sound good? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-10 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	Sure... why not. Might as well take advantage while we can, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-01-10 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	I couldn't have put it better myself. [The dunk tank is a few feet away from them by now and Rose can't wait to try it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-11 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	[ He's already had a go or two, but being a happy spectator is almost as fun as participating. Besides, he likes watching her. That isn't creepy, right? ] Go on then. Show us what you got. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-01-12 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	[Not creepy at all. At his words, Rose steps up to the plate as it were and lifts up the ball, preparing to throw it. She lines up the shot, then throws, hitting the target and dunks the unfortunate volunteer.] Yes! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-13 03:00 am UTC (link)
	[ He laughs at her enthusiasm and even gives her a bit of an applause. Genuinely happy. ] Nicely done! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-01-13 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	[She grins, giving him a little bow.] Why thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-13 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	Satisfyin', isn't it? I could spend all night out here. [ Nearly did. Luckily there were better distractions around. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-01-13 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	All night, hm? [Rose asks, sounding playful.] You could I suppose. Until you got bored. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-14 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	I do so easily get bored... [ Voice dropping to a soft purr, he steps in closer. That's a good tone on her. Promising. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-01-14 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	Then you should probably find something to do. [Rose cocks her head at him, her tone still the same. She hasn't moved, allowing him to move towards her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-14 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	Or someone. [ So casual and by now he's close enough to brush his fingers against her. What do you say? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-01-14 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	A more appealing option. [Spoken softly as her hand reaches over to touch his arm. Rose hasn't said no.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-15 01:15 am UTC (link)
	Y'know, I thought so. [ Another step closer. This time he lets his fingers trail over her neck. This not saying no habit of hers is much appreciated. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
