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!

[ He understood. It's liberating, when one doesn't have a care, when there's nothing to hold oneself back. It's both freedom and curse, dangerous. But his voice stays calm as he answers, watching her face for the minute flicker of doubt, the shift to conceal.

He wanted no lies between them; he's had his fill of those. ]

Diva was fearless; losing that weight must have been liberating, but... [ he glanced at her then, thoughtfully ] Would you do it again, if you could?

[ There was no rationalizing emotion; it simply was. It was what made them human and beast. There was no difference. ]

	No! [Her answer is immediate, no consideration required. Secretly enjoying it and inviting it aren't the same.] And I don't want you to let me, either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ his smile was easy then, because Saya made it so simply by being. ] Then stop worrying. You -- and she -- are different. She never cared who she hurt. [ he grasped her hand then and settled it on his arm. ] Shall we ride something? [ the love boat was cliched, but the others... ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She almost sighs; as ever, Hei is just the right mix of encouraging and patronizing. It's familiar by now, enough that she's able to relax at his touch rather than shy away.] What did you have in mind? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he glanced around the small sector, thinking ] The Ferris Wheel, perhaps? I've heard the view is supposed to be excellent from the top. [ and perhaps... just perhaps, they could share a kiss as the compartment reached the top. Hei wasn't a superstitious man, but on occasion, superstition served it's purpose. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[This time she does sigh, but it's out of fondness.] Let's go, then. [And a kiss at the top, she can gladly provide... but she stretches up to supply him with one now, as well.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ he lingers as she kisses him, pulled to her heat and her lips as a starving moth to a covered flame, burned by the warmth, but still seeking, still needy. As he pulls away, he smiles. ]

Would you prefer something else instead? [ but he's already pulling her gently down the avenue. They had all day; they could easily ride every ride three times over. Should she desire it. ]

	I prefer being with you. [Simple as that. For as long as she still has, and it can't be long yet, that will be enough.] Let's do the Ferris Wheel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ his breath comes out in a soft puff of air as she says that, and he pulls her in slightly closer as they walk. He'd prefer that as well, for as long as she'd give him, for as long as he could wait. ]

Then we'll have to hurry.

[ not because they do, but because time was short. Who knew how many days or months they had left, but for every moment that they slept, he counted the time, measured it against the weight of years. Soon she would begin her long sleep and then she would be gone. ]
