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!

	[Bucky sees her walking around, notices that she isn't really trying to get in and join the festivities. Is she shy? Bored? He walks up to her.] Now see, this is something I just can't let go on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ cordelia smiles when she sees bucky. ah, a familiar face. she's really glad he's still around. ] And what might that be? Delusions of being a successful carnie? [ cordelia frowns, glancing down. ] One thing I never thought I'd say in my lifetime. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I meant a beautiful girl walking around and not enjoying herself. [Yes he did just say that.] There's probably a law out there somewhere about that. I should do something about it before I get charged with criminal indifference. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I know no one would like someone as sweet as you to get charged for allowing such a criminal offense to take place. [ she smiles. she sure does love it every time she gets to run into bucky; he's sweet and charming and has one hell of a smile. flirting aside, cordelia's amused: ] It's kind of sad that that actually is a criminal offense on someone's list of crimes.

	[Bucky snorts softly, but reaches out to take her hand and lay a kiss to it.] I've seen some dumber things be called crimes around here, so criminal indifference at least sounds real, don't it? [But moving on from that.] So why are you here instead of somewhere else enjoying yourself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ being treated like a lady is not something cordelia is used to - nor is her being rendered speechless for even the smallest slip of time. ] Honestly? I think I just haven't found the right person to enjoy it with. What about you? I'm sure you could be winning some lady some stuffed plushie at a game. You seem like the kind of guy who would run the wardens right out of prizes. [ she smiles. ]

	[Bucky likes the feeling of knowing that he's treating a girl right, so the smile on her face is exactly what he needs.] You're right. I have been known to win a shooting game or two in my time. Would you be so kind as to help me? If I'm going to win some prizes I'll need someone to give them to. Hate to just leave them sitting there on the table. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I do like receiving things. [ even if it linked her to the shallow girl she used to be - and still, in a smaller capacity, was - cordelia pursed her lips and tilted her head, as if she was mulling the idea over. ] Just how good are you at winning those big, stuffed bears?

	[It's a fair. Everyone likes getting to take home something from the fair. Bucky looks the game over, checking out the plastic rifles used and their scopes.] Good enough that I can ask "Just how big do you want it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ cordelia laughs. she cocks an eyebrow, amused. it's been a long time since something as normal as this has happened to her; it's a good feeling, being able to enjoy the prospect of something so normal and demon-goo free. ] Don't tell me you're the king of the festival. I wouldn't want to get my hopes up if I said the biggest of them all. (Reply to this) (Parent)
