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!

[Ianto is wandering awkwardly around the game booths, clearly unable to decide between enjoying himself and the silliness of it all. He doesn't mind this sort of thing all that much, but its the newness, the not knowing anyone that's getting to him, and he obviously doesn't want to be that weird new guy standing alone in the corner playing ring toss. Also he's just cynical enough to assume all these games are rigged.]

	[Kitty glances in his direction.] Careful. Don't strain yourself with the fun having. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She gets a faint smirk that still manages to be friendly in return.] It was a concern of mine, I'll admit. Does this sort of thing happen often here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The infamous fun strain or the overnight festival extravaganza? They're both more likely than you might think, but I wouldn't call it often. In fact the festival is technically a first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What an odd prison. [He gives up and goes for the ring toss as he speaks, tossing the first one without paying much attention and missing.] I'm Ianto Jones, by the way. Nice to meet you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kitty Pryde. [Watching the toss.] Jack mentioned you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You met Jack? [Surprise, quickly covered by dry sarcasm,] I'm almost terrified to ask what he said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Met him a couple of times now. He just can't remember the first time. Or maybe he wasn't the exact same Jack. This place is fun that way. [In which fun means frustrating.] He said you were on his team. [With a weird pause that made her think there was more to it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I can imagine. I'd heard people can be brought in from different times, but I didn't realize he had been here before. [Another toss and miss with the rings.]

[He nods, very happy to leave it at that. He never knows what Jack's going to say about them. Personally he doesn't feel the need to tell every stranger he meets that he's sleeping with his boss.] Some of the people I spoke to when I arrived here said I should speak to you. Something about a Defense Force?
