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!

[She reaches out, fingertips idly smoothing over the cuff of her sleeve. This is a game of tag she doesn't mind, though she can imagine his thoughts are twisting it to something far darker. She should mind, perhaps, but there's a trust that's formed between them that she wishes to keep.]

Is my asking not sufficient? [A slow parting of her lips around a breath as she considers further,] Perhaps you'd prefer something more entreating...

	[Every breath catch his attention. The touch ushers a flicker of hot pleasure through his veins; more so towards every thought that follows than the contact itself. His senses are sharp and seconds stretch longer than they're meant to as he enjoys every heart beat. He wants to hear her sigh. He'd settle for a scream.] What've you got?

[Lacus slides her fingers from his sleeve, the barest brush over his hand as hers retracts. The withdrawal is momentary; she slides onto the counter with easy finesse, her body posed in a manner that highlights her soft curves. Long pink hair slips over her smooth shoulder to graze his arm, so casual that if it were anyone but Lacus it would surely be unintentional.]

[Her eyes glint as she takes him in, gaze lingering to coil him yet tighter, like an instrument tuned too far to play true.] Indulge me. [Just those few words, an intimate whisper with an undertow that seems to reach for him.]

[It's a thin line that divides the two urges... The half that wants to indulge her at her request with his lips to hers, his hands up her curves and her wrists pinned to a bed. And then that other half that wants to see her blood sink into and stain that long pink hair, those eyes to glaze sightless and for those thighs to tremble as her body convulses; her heart in his hand.

It'd such a thin line. But both can stem from a kiss.

His hand raises slowly, fingertips skimming up and along her neck. It's not a tremble, nor is it a shake of unsteadiness in his fingers, but it's gone once they settle soundly to her skin. It's control, a resistance that keeps his thumb from doing anything but brush against the center of her throat.] Say please.

[Her smile blooms as if she'd anticipated such a request from him. The shifting light in her eyes is the only other movement, her thoughts given physical form.]

[A significant pause may be simple amusement in keeping him waiting, or measured consideration. Either way, she is still whole, unbroken. It will take far more than a single word, or kiss, or touch to crumble her.]

Please. [The word is music itself, dancing in the scant air between them.]

[His hand wants to squeeze but he wont let it, stopping it after a flexing of his fingers against the warm skin of her fragile little neck. He sighs shortly, breath exhaling with amusement in the tail end. He's leaning forward and close to her now, dipping closer still so that their lips are on level with one another as are their eyes.

He's smiling, though his eyes are dark. Preoccupied with other places, times and things. Things that won't happen tonight, paths ignored as he resigns himself to give in and carried in on the invitation in one sole word. It's a relief. For now.] I don't know why you do this. [But he doesn't give her the opportunity to answer, pulling her with his fingers curling around the back of her neck to grip it at the base of her skull. His lips are on hers, firm and practiced but not without an obvious edge of hunger and want. All the cues he didn't want you to see, reasons he didn't want to kiss you sooner.]

[There's no reaction to his threatened squeeze, not so much as a flicker of her eyes. But it's not a dare or a challenge, it's trust. She knows Tyki won't hurt her just now -- and even if he would, she's accepted that possibility.]

[Once he's pulled her in she returns his kiss with playful laziness, a counterpoint of sorts but no less hungry in its way. Because this is why she does this, Tyki. This passion she feels from him, the warmth and need of a human man. She has no delusions about the darkness beneath its surface, but, inch by slow inch, she intends to drag his human side into her light.]

[He thinks of nothing while he kisses her, drawing seconds out with languid moving of his lips and tongue, taking slow and deep breaths without parting. His hand's grip loosens in time as the darker, oily thoughts recede. Simple enjoyment remains, the passion and heat of a kiss slowly cooling, tempering again to a more human, more natural form. Slower and slower the kiss becomes until it stops.

His eyelids are low, gaze glazing as draws back an inch to breathe.]

	[Her lips are already curling as they part, blue eyes darkened and dancing.] All the pretty words in the world can't make a woman feel as beautiful as when she's kissed like that. [She barely noticed that her hand has fallen atop his. Lacus quite likes his touch; his heart is in it, always.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2013-01-27 03:57 am UTC (link)
	[He almost smiles, it's weak but it's there in a diluted way as his fingers slide down her neck and let her go, brushing down along the underside of her jaw. He winds farther back, eyes focusing on hers again, slightly subdued.] So then it suffices? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Lacus' hand, by contrast, doesn't move. Nor does the rest of her, but for an amused flicker in her smile.] You're the customer, here. I believe that's your decision. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Beneath her hand his turns over, palm to palm with his fingers a curling touch. His smile resurfaces entirely now.] It works. Until the next time. [Playful, his hand gently retracts.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-01-27 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	Mm, until then. [She is perfectly steady as he slips away.] Soon, I hope. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2013-01-28 06:33 am UTC (link)
	I'll leave you to your booth. [He straightens up, adjusts a collar that doesn't need adjusting. He tips his head as he moves to step back.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
