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!

Day time
[Kitty is going to patrol looking like the normal human being she isn't. She'll try some food. She'll watch some feats of strength or whatever. She might engage in them if challenged. She'll also stop and chat. She's not exactly in any hurry. She'll also stop by the clothing stores just out of curiosity. It's not like she really intends to get into any of this...]

Dance time
[Okay, so maybe she decided to be a pretty, pretty princess. Shut up. But she does love dancing, so this is kind of her thing.]

[Dressed in his normal hero attire... or as close of a facsimile as he could find in the stores, Link doesn't look too out of place today. He's found a tankard of ale and sets about observing the dancing. Presently he finds himself standing in the vicinity of Kitty.]

Good evening Miss Pryde. I hope you are well.

[He learned enough courtly manners from the feasting post Ganon's demise... though it does fall rather clumsily from his tongue.]

	Well enough. Dances are no time to be down. [She's been doing pretty well lately even without the dance.] You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No they aren't. Festivals are always a fine break from the monotony of every day. [He grins then.] It's nice to have something a little more similar to home. Still different, but there's enough familiarity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This is similar to home for you? [She probably shouldn't be surprised by that, should she?] I'm not sure whether to ask what's the same or what's different. [Which direction is easier to list?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well... the food for one makes more sense. The clothes... still different... but closer. Fabric... colors. Even some of the style is close. The sport? Never seen any of it, but the tree throwing? Definitely something I could see a Goron appreciating. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
