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!

	Oh... So, you don't have any plans? Did you see all the food? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he nodded ] Did you? [ and to think, he once thought he could make use of this boy. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-01-13 03:54 am UTC (link)
	[Wacky thoughts.] I tried some of it. There were some things I always heard about from America and some like they had back home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bottomless_pit 2013-01-13 03:58 am UTC (link)
	[ he smiled then ] You grew up there, didn't you? [ he'll pretend he learned that from Conrad, if he must. He honestly didn't think he'd have to. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-01-16 05:28 am UTC (link)
	I was born in America. We moved back to Japan eventually. Well, I moved there for the first time. I guess I've lived a lot of really different places. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bottomless_pit 2013-01-17 06:56 am UTC (link)
	[ he nods, easy going and relaxed as only a Hei can be ] That must be why you adapted so easily here and made so many friends. [ and it explained Yuuri's simple-mindedness. Perhaps he had been dropped on his head once up on a time... or three. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-01-19 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	Well... People need friends in prison. You have some, right, Li? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bottomless_pit 2013-02-01 06:07 am UTC (link)
	[ he blinked ] There's one or two. [ but he shrugs off the question and immediately launches into a new topic ] How is the team? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-02-03 02:04 am UTC (link)
	Mm, it's good, but kind of shrinking. [Which means.]<?small> You should join! [You know you do it to yourself, right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bottomless_pit 2013-02-06 03:58 am UTC (link)
	[ Hei shook his head ] Sports don't interest me that much. [ gimp leg and all that... uh, you know? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-02-07 04:23 am UTC (link)
	Are you sure? Not even baseball? [It's not just any sport.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bottomless_pit 2013-02-07 03:14 pm UTC (link)
	[ his gaze is carefully blank ] Not even baseball. [ unless, of course, Misaki was here to teach him how to bat again. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-02-07 04:36 pm UTC (link)
	Oh... [People say the saddest things like they're just talking about bread or the weather.] Well, at least you can still come watch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bottomless_pit 2013-02-07 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	[ the very saddest thing. Hei would deliberately strike out each time at bat. But he does look a little interested at Yuuri's comment. Just a little. ] Do you have another game scheduled then? [ You don't really need 9 players per team, right? Can't the bots just step in and wear a glove? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-02-08 12:37 am UTC (link)
	Not yet. Actually we need some more players first. [Sad look. Sad.] But I'll let you know when we do! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bottomless_pit 2013-02-10 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	[ he nodded ] I'll look forward to it then. Although if you do a demonstration, someone may become interested enough to join. You never seemed to lack for volunteers before. [ Just half a team. No outfielders needed at all. Of course, a net may then be required. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-02-15 02:48 am UTC (link)
	[Or just one vampire or speedster in each outfield or something.] Mm, that's true! Who wouldn't want to join if they saw it? [The answer is no one. NO ONE.] Maybe I should find Hikaru and mention that to him. He's the other team captain now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ and burn up the field? Yuuri was brave. ]

Not many. [ he's seen a game before; he still had no desire to join. ] If you find Hikaru now, perhaps you could give a demonstration tonight. Sports and festivals do sound like they'd go together well.

[ especially if the line by the dunk tank was anything to go by. Yuuri could have found an ace pitcher if he had waited long enough. ]

	demon_king 2013-02-22 04:51 am UTC (link)
	[...Never mention that possibility.] Mm, maybe. I guess I could at least see what he thinks. Will you be okay on your own? [Little Li.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bottomless_pit 2013-02-27 04:53 am UTC (link)
	[ best hope there's never a flash in the dome. ] Of course. [ don't insult him. Hei's been taking care of his sister since he was a child. But, he nodded and then stepped aside. ] Enjoy the fair, Yuuri. (Reply to this) (Parent)
