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!

	Stefan Salvatore. [He takes it for a gentle shake.] It's nice to meet you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cheerleader 2013-01-19 05:16 pm UTC (link)
	Salvatore, as in Damon Salvatore? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He nods.] It seems like everyone here knows my brother. [He should be surprised but...he knows better.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cheerleader 2013-01-20 03:49 am UTC (link)
	Oh, I don't know him. Not personally, anyway. He's from the same town as my best friend, Rebekah. [ dun DUN DUN ] Which means you must be, too. Mystic Falls? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Oh. Well. Shit.

Suddenly totally on his guard. Because Rebekah.]

That's probably why you don't know him. They don't exactly get along.

[Nor does he, for that matter. Even if they did. Once upon a time. He's a different person now. ~~Or so he likes to convince himself.~~

He nods.]

The Salvatores were one of the founding families of Mystic Falls. Our family home is an old boarding house that's been there for decades.

	[ headtilt. ] I thought Rebekah's family was the founder... but, maybe I heard her wrong. [ could've been one of, the mikaelsons and salvatores, plus others. ] I'm from Lima, Ohio, which is completely devoid of any neat founding stories. Or neat anything stories about anything outside of high school cheerleading and show choir championships. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Her family was the first to live in the area, yes. I didn't become known as Mystic Falls until later.

[Much, much, later. But Stefan isn't sure how much this girl knows.]

Mystic Falls is just one of those places that likes to remember its history. [Because its history likes to keep coming back.] It has its cheerleaders and choirs now, like anywhere else. Not sure about championships, though.

	Don't think you guys got very far, else I would've seen you at Nationals -- for both cheerleading and show choir. You make a point to know who the competition is and no-one from Virginia was on either of those lists. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sanguino 2013-01-20 04:11 am UTC (link)
	It's a really small town. The kind where everyone knows everyone else. There isn't exactly a big pool of talent to draw from. [The football team sucked...until he'd joined. But he'd had an unfair advantage, to say the least.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cheerleader 2013-01-20 04:20 am UTC (link)
	[ mckinley's football team sucks, too. the one time they did well, they were psyching out the other team with the "single ladies" dance. ] And I thought Lima was small. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sanguino 2013-01-25 03:52 am UTC (link)
	[He smiles quietly.] I'm sure there are smaller places than Mystic Falls, but it's definitely cozy. [Only not cozy. At all. But it's still home.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cheerleader 2013-01-26 01:28 am UTC (link)
	Rebekah sure makes it seem like it is. [ she has no idea how "dangerous" this friendship of hers is, especially now that more people from mystic falls are present in the dome. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sanguino 2013-01-26 02:40 am UTC (link)
	Rebekah was gone for a long time. It's changed, though now that she's come back she doesn't seem in any hurry to leave. [Funnily enough, the most dangerous part about having a friendship with Rebekah is actually her brother. Let's hope Quinn never needs to meet Klaus.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cheerleader 2013-01-26 05:46 pm UTC (link)
	Why should she? It's her home. [ what if she's already hung out with klaus? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sanguino 2013-01-27 03:51 am UTC (link)
	[He shrugs his shoulders. It's not something he really wants to get into, especially with someone who's likely going to be on Rebekah's side.] I don't think there's much there for her anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cheerleader 2013-01-28 06:27 am UTC (link)
	[ her eyes narrow some. ] I think that's up to Rebekah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sanguino 2013-01-30 02:38 pm UTC (link)
	So she likes to remind me. [He's not going to make Rebekah leave. It would likely only get someone killed. As much as he hates to admit it, she helped him save Elena during her transition, so they've been on worse terms.] I just don't know why she does. (Reply to this) (Parent)
