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!

	Well that sounds like a good idea to me. [Not that she was asking or needs his permission, but she totally has it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-01-06 03:51 am UTC (link)
	I'm glad you think so. [Try not to sound too excited at the thought.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-01-08 04:05 am UTC (link)
	[C'mon, Zatanna. He'd be just as excited if it was any other member of the team moving in. Honest.] Hey, the more the merrier, I say. Though if any of the others ever show up, we're going to need a bigger apartment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-01-09 01:36 am UTC (link)
	[Uh-huh. And she completely believes that] We're gonna need a bigger apartment anyway. Unless you want her to share the couch with you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He lets out an awkward, little laugh, and reaches a hand up to scratch the back of his head. ...Seriously, Zatanna. He really wishes you'd stop saying things like that.] I think the, um, couch is crowded enough as it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-01-17 03:33 am UTC (link)
	[But you make it so easy!] Then either you and Robin share, and Artemis and I share...or we just start looking for a four-bedroom place. Personally, I'm leaning towards the latter. Like you said, it's crowded enough as it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-01-22 12:09 am UTC (link)
	It would be nice to have my own room again. [Though he's not sure how he's going to break the news to the couch that he might be leaving it for a bed.] Have you talked to Rob about all this yet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-01-22 12:39 am UTC (link)
	[A nod, and she tries to hide the instinctive wince that comes with the memory of that discussion.] I did. He...brought up a couples things. [Like the fact that SECRET IDENTITIES which she sorta forgot about.] But he agreed with me that it's best if we all stick together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-01-22 01:27 am UTC (link)
	[He doesn't notice the wince, but her words make it seem that his best friend has some concerns about Artemis moving in. And that has him curious as she's not the only one who forgot about the secret ID aspect to all this.] What things did he bring up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-01-22 01:30 am UTC (link)
	The thing where Dick Grayson and Robin are the same person. And she still doesn't know that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-01-22 02:28 am UTC (link)
	Right. He already said a while back that she was asking questions after talking to his double. [Which resulted in Wally telling Dick that Artemis wasn't the mole, and that he was pretty sure she could be trusted if Dick wanted to tell her. Assuming she doesn't put it together herself, that is.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-01-22 02:32 am UTC (link)
	It's sorta my fault. I was getting so used to knowing both sides of him...I forgot that not everyone does. Is it wrong of me to want him to just tell her already? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He ponders her question for a long moment before giving a slight shake of the head.]

I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with that unless you're pushing him to do it.

[And he's quite sure she isn't doing that. Outside of that, it's just her opinion on the situation. Right? And it's one he currently shares.]

I think he'll tell her eventually and then we can all make Dick jokes together. There's just some things he has to consider before he does. [More than the usual, anyway.]

	I don't think I was pushing? [She hadn't intended to, that was for certain. Though now that Wally mentioned it, she had to think back and wonder if she had been. Zatanna knew she tended to be a little forceful when she wanted something...but Robin knew that, right?] I just tried to explain why I thought it was a good idea. I still think it's a good idea.

[He holds up his hands as the universal sign of surrender.]

Hey, you don't need to convince me. But what we think really doesn't matter. [He's not saying that Robin won't consider everything they have to say on the subject --and from the sound of it, Zatanna has had more to say than he has-- but just that the decision is ultimately Rob's to make.]

Besides, is it really that big of a deal f he doesn't tell her?

	notbabymagic 2013-01-29 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	[She thought it was, because it was one thing to keep the secret back home. Nobody there knew, save Wally. But here, it was just the four of them, and Artemis was the only one left out.] I...guess not. Like you said, it's up to him. (Reply to this) (Parent)
