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!

[Unfortunately, she was noticing enough for the both of them.]

So it's a plan.

You'll take to the air, and I'll cover the streets. Together, we shall leave no part of this dome unscorch-marked. [Given their mutual explosive histories...there was actually a chance of this happening.]

[He's only noticing how strange she's acting, and wondering if he's seeing more than there is.]

We gotta leave footprints on the dome for that. Dance a tango on the glass just for kicks.

[And he drifts a bit in his own head for a moment.] Oh hey, anti-grave or suction boots would be cool...

[She laughs at this, though it comes out a bit weaker than usual.]

You do know I can fly, right? I wouldn't need boots.

Besides, too cluncky. You could never dance a proper tango in a pair of those things.

I was talking about for me. [Since you know, he can't fly, Zatanna.] And anti-gravity boots aren't clunky. Not when you build them right. Anti-gravy is all about removing gravity which is what affects our bodies' weight, so you'll move a lot easier even with them on.

[Hey, way to doubt her abilities. She could easily levitate them both if he asked. But since he's obviously not going to...have fun with your gaudy footware.]

That, I'd have to see for myself.

[Way to doubt his tech. If he has a choice between magic and science, he's picking science, sorry Zee.]

Maybe you will. I'll add it to my list. Project #3872. [He laughs.] You got plans for the next half-hour?

[Wow, rude. She'd disown you for that, except she really doesn't want to. Consider yourself lucky.]

Sort of. Why?

[He fully supports your right to do all the magic you want, Zee, but he's just not a magic guy.]

Just thought we could hang for a bit, maybe try a couple of the rides together. See if I can keep all of the chili dogs I ate down on the tilt-o-whirl.

[Tempting. Oh, so very tempting. Especially the threat of vomiting in her general vicinity.]

You sure know how to show a girl a good time, Rich.

[Sometimes Zee it's almost like you forget that Richie is an average teenage boy. He laughs.] I'm kidding. Believe me, I'd rather avoid tasting those dogs again. Never as good the second time.

[Now on to the rides.] So you in? I promise not to make a mess of your cute digs.

[Oh, it's impossible for her to actually forget that. Case in point; the notion of them hanging out for the afternoon, coupled with the reaffirmation of her "digs" being "cute" (though, really, "digs", Richie?), earns a slightly awkward aversion of the eyes. Which she tries to cover up by smiling.]

I...maybe later.

[Hey some words from pre-Y2K are still fun, okay. But he can so tell that something is going on when she's that obvious. There's a little frown of confusion on his face. Clues are there but they aren't adding up.]

Sure...later, no problem. [There's a little pause, but he can't hold it in.] How about after you tell me what is going on with you, Zee? What did I say?

[She looks up at him, a mixture of surprise, guilt, and curiosity. Trying to read his face, as if it would tell her something. And, when it doesn't...]

You...really have no idea, do you?

[Because that explains anything.]

[He's going to keep staring at her with a total look of "huh?" because that is exactly how he feels right now.]

Zee if I had any idea, I wouldn't have to ask you to lay it out for me. Now are you going to tell me what I did that's got you looking like you're waiting for a quick exit?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's nothing you did. Not exactly.

["It's not you, it's me" Guh, how cliche could she get?]

[Taking a deep breath, she decided to just come out and say it already. He deserved that much.]


I like you.

[He didn't get it at first.]

Well, I'd hope you would since we hang out so much and--[Then it hits him exactly what she might mean which is obviously not the answer because he's Richie and since when do people like him? But why would she say it like it's the problem unless it was that kind of like?]--oh.

Ah...well, I...uh. That is...wow. Okay that was so not what I thought you were going to say.

[She's...actually not as hurt by the reaction as she thought she might be. If he'd had no idea to begin with, there was a pretty good chance he didn't feel the same way.]

[Ironically enough, that made this a lot easier.]


Surprise?

[A weak attempt at joking. Though it at least made her smile.]

I didn't mean for it to happen, honestly. It just...did.

[info]put_it_in_gear
2013-02-11 02:32 am UTC (link)
[It gets a very weak laugh from him, too. But he's still pretty floored learning this. How did this happen? Well, sure, he knows that feelings are logical like they should be, but really how?]

Did I do something? I mean, to uh--[crap, how do you even have this discussion, so Richie does what he does best and rambles.]--lead you on, because serious Zee I wouldn't do that to you and I don't want you to hate me because I swear it wasn't on purpose.

[For what would have basically been a rejection in most other situations...she seemed to be handling it pretty well. Smiling and shaking her head.]

I already told you, it wasn't anything you did.

Just...spending time with you. You being you. Getting to hang out the way we did. It was nice. It was fun. I started looking forward to hanging out, because you get me. [She was also starting to ramble a little bit, because what were coherent thoughts right now.] Then I realized I'd started to develop a crush on you, and...well...that's why the awkward.

Because as much as I like you, Richie...there's someone I like more.

Oh. Well. That's good. For you, I mean. [That makes Richie feel a bit better, too. Hearing that it happened because...well, she genuinely likes him. It's flattering. Kind of. He's never actually had a girl make a pass at him, let alone flat out tell him she likes him. It's so...surreal. And for some reason a laugh bursts free that is soft, then louder. He can't help it. Something about this is so wrong it's hilarious.]

Man, if irony didn't exist in the world I would invent it right now.

[...Irony?]

What do you mean?

[He's still chuckling because this is just the most ridiculous thing to ever happen to him.] Because a girl finally likes me and I'm gay.

[And then it's out and it hits him what he just said. And now he's staring wide because oh man yeah he sure did just say it out loud.] ...Crap.

[Give her a second.]

You...are?

[If she hadn't been caught so off-guard, she might've realized just how much he freaked at the thought of her knowing. But all she could think of was how easy it had slipped out. He'd known for a while. Which...actually, no, there really was no way she could've figured it out on her own.]

[He was right, though. The Irony.]

[Torn between laughter and wanting to hide how red her face was undoubtably getting, she mentally stammered over a few words for a moment in attempt of finding something to say. Anything.]


Guess it's a good thing I had a backup plan, then, huh?

[...no matter how lame.]

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]put_it_in_gear
2013-02-11 03:23 am UTC (link)
[Okay uh...well she's...taking it well? Not well? Richie has no idea and really it's kind of freaking him out a lot because it doesn't seem like she even cares and maybe that's a good thing? Or is she acting like she doesn't care because he basically just told her that even if she hadn't found another guy it wouldn't matter because he's gay and god did he seriously SAY IT OUT LOUD?]

Uh...yeah. [nervous smile] I mean, he's a good guy, right? For you.

[Let's just act like he never said anything and focus on Zatanna.]

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]notbabymagic
2013-02-11 03:30 am UTC (link)
[She's going off his cues at this point. Because she had no idea how she was supposed to react in this situation. It wasn't often a guy came out to her in the very same moment she was confessing to him.]

[There had to be a teen drama that told her what to do. Unfortunately, she didn't really watch teen dramas. The writing was worse than her father's daytime soaps.]


He's never given me a reason to think otherwise. [A pause, and just because neither of them had actually specified a name yet:] ...you do know who I mean, right?
