DAY 365 — Anniversary Festival Mingle

Happy Day 365, Marina Nova!

Hear ye, hear ye! Inmates, prisoners, fellow underwater dwellers! Lend me your ears and hands and actually just bring all of you because we're having a ye olde Renaissance Faire to celebrate a full year in this bubble under the sea!

The dome has of course been decked out appropriately. Flickering torches light the pathways, interspersed with larger bonfires that you can cosy up to with that special someone - or perhaps just a glass of honey mead. Pennant banners hang across the gates and along the buildings, sporting the proud coat of arms of the prison (a lot of purple and octopi, for some reason) and many of the clothing stores offer time-appropriate options for those of you who still knows how to have fun. The kiosk has even been re-imagined into a castle.

Many areas within the dome has activities to partake in and, if you're skilled or lucky or both, prizes to win!

Sector 5 Gamegrounds: What better way to show your bravery than by participating in a series of tests of strength and cunning? Sector 5 provides the inmates with a chance to try such varied sports as varpa, caber tossing, ring toss or the very dignified sport of rövkrok, a type of wrestling that requires skill as well as no sense of shame. Not tough enough for you? There are also friendly foam weapons and armor available for those who want to engage in a chivalrous bout of hand to hand combat, test your archery skills — or maybe convince another prisoner to give you a piggyback ride and go jousting!

Competitors that do well enough and show outstanding bravery may be rewarded with a handful of rehab points, or a personalized pennant — or maybe a kiss from the lord or lady of your choosing!

Less violent activities: Not into skewering your neighbors on spears? Maybe you'd rather relax with a game of knucklebones, pick up sticks or Nine Men's Morris. Boards and instructions are readily available in several areas. If you're more creatively inclined there's also activity tables on offer where you can create your own coat of arms, bind yourself a flower crown or learn the art of illumination.

Food: The food carts in sector 0 are now carrying food fit for the occasion. Whole roasted pigs and poultry, wild rabbit in plum sauce, thick beef stews smelling of rich saffron, roasted vegetables (no potatoes here, no sir!) and cream-stewed cabbage for the vegetarians among us. If you're still hungry there's saffron pancake, ginger and clove cookies or bread pudding with raisins for dessert. There's plenty of mulled wine, honey mead, foaming beer, honeyd applewater and lingonberry juice to wash it down with. Enjoy!

Dance: As is custom, there will be a dance at the beach at the end of the day. Great fires will roar and a band of robots will strike up music suitable for dancing! Dress up in your finest satin and velvet, brush the extrement off your shoes and grab a partner!

Enjoy!

[The one and only reason Zero is in a costume is because a certain someone was hoping to do so. Since he knew it would please her, he did so without a second thought. Apart from the hat, which is kind of over the top, the ensemble really does suit him well.]

GAMES
[Zero is more drawn to the physical activities than not. However definitely not whatever kind of wrestling that is. That aside, he can be found around the other games:

Although he launches the logs with incredible ease, it's the ring toss and archery that has the most of his attention. The latter is only more challenging due to the foam. Even so, his aim is completely flawless, each go making a clean bulls-eye. — He may engage in a few rounds of hand to hand, it should be known that it is (yet another thing) something he excels at.]

FOOD
[He might not look the part, but one of Zero's favorite things is eating. He may be a vampire, but regular food is also plenty enjoyed. He can pack down quite a lot, too. Which is why he has a plate filled with any number of the dishes offered. However what he doesn't have is any sweets. The drink he has may be on the alcoholic side, but not enough to affect him much.]

WILDCARD
[Choose your own!]

[ it seems he's wearing a costume for the same reasons han is. the princess responsible for getting the afore mentioned general into such a festive outfit is currently standing to zero's immediate right, bow and arrow in hand. the sleeves of her gown are a bit restrictive, but she still manages to hit bulls-eye each and every time.

even when she deliberately tries to miss. she doesn't seem too pleased by this inability to hit one of the larger rings on the target, glowering sourly at the bow in her hands. ]

	[He catches sight of her shots without stalling in his own, his actions still fluid. Multitasking is hardly an issue.] It really would be nicer if these had more weight to them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
