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!

	Oh yeah, that was a thing, wasn't it? I think Jack enjoyed it a little too much. [ So much ass to the sky. It's like being back in Vegas. Also hey hello that sure is some light, enticing brushing she's doing there. He loses his train of thought for a moment, tries to save it by clearing his throat. ] Do, ah... do you want to dance?

	Probably something that gets said about Jack a lot. [Did he get flustered for a second there? That was a good second.] I was thinking I might try some dancing this time around. You know how shy about it I can be. [Teasing as she holds a hand out for him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-06 10:44 pm UTC (link)
	[ Often in relation to asses, but he's not about to say that out loud. ] Oh yeah, very shy. Practically a wallflower. [ He takes her hand like he's done so every single day of his life. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-06 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	I should really look into working on that. [Her hand slides into his easily and she shifts closer while heading out to the dancing area.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-07 11:23 am UTC (link)
	[ It's weird how easy this feels, his hand in hers, stepping into position, hand falling on her waist like nothing ever happened. ] Pretty sure it's historically inaccurate that we're this close to each other. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-07 01:20 pm UTC (link)
	[Maybe the only weird parts were where it was awkward and confusing and heartbreaking. Maybe this is the part that should have always felt natural. It's easy enough for her to believe right now.] Did you want to be more historically accurate? [Further away from me?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-07 03:27 pm UTC (link)
	Not really. That would mean debilitating diseases, greater gender and class differences and an irresistible urge to colonize large parts of the world. Besides, I kind of like being close to you. [ So there. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-07 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	Good answer. [Especially that last part. And he's getting the fond smile to prove it.] Colonizing other apartments could get ugly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-07 05:31 pm UTC (link)
	Ten bucks says that we're going to be colonizing each other before the month is up. [ Wardens think of the weirdest things. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-07 05:33 pm UTC (link)
	Are you planning to claim me in the name of Las Vegas, doctor? [Because maybe it wasn't supposed to, but that sounded kind of dirty to her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-07 05:40 pm UTC (link)
	[ It wasn't meant to be dirty but here they are, dancing, and things have been a lot better between them lately. Too soon to say they're back to where they were but maybe edging a little? Enough to leave some color on his cheeks and some cheek in his voice. ] I thought I already had. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-07 05:59 pm UTC (link)
	[That gets a laugh because she really had no idea if he'd keep playing along.] Touché. You're going to make me blush. [But she loves that he already is.] I think this dress is too innocent to hear these things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-07 06:10 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, okay... I'll clean it up. [ He laughs, still pretty flushed but infinitely happy that it went over well. It's been a long time. He was worried he was getting rusty. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-07 06:44 pm UTC (link)
	Good. [But she's dancing a little closer than she was, so she doesn't exactly seem bothered by any of what just transpired.] Such a bad influence. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-07 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sorry for ruining your innocence. [ So amused and not having a single problem with this closeness. He may even curl his arm a little tighter around her waist. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-07 07:12 pm UTC (link)
	[When the music does eventually end she might just pretend she didn't notice.] I'm sure you can find some way to make it up to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-07 07:20 pm UTC (link)
	[ If he's understood how these things go, there'll be a new song soon. They can just wait for it. ] I do believe I still owe you a dinner. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Wait for it, wait for it.]

I do like Chinese. [Oh, she hasn't forgotten. Is it starting to sound like a date instead of a gift to a friend? Yes, yes it is. She's trying not to get ahead of herself though. It's easy to do. She's always been grabbing the moment when she can, because she never knows when it's going to slip away. But that approach hasn't always worked so well with Reid. It can push him away.]

[ Maybe it is a date. A pseudo-date, at the very least. He misses going on dates with her and that incredibly brief and fruitless romance with Leia kind of put all that into perspective again, like an amuse-bouche to clear the bad taste from the breakup out of his mouth. Maybe he won't bring her flowers but there's a good chance he'll follow her to her door. ]

Maybe... soon? Not tomorrow, but the day after? [ Solid plans are good plans. ]

	[It is a pretty nice door.] You taking someone else out to dinner tomorrow, profiler? [She's teasing. A little curious, but not for any jealous reasons. Any night would work for her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-07 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	I wasn't planning on it... if you want to do it sooner, we can. [ He was more thinking of a recovery day from festivities, but they all need to eat. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-07 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	Whenever you want. I eat every night. [They used to spend most of those meals and nights together once upon a time.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-07 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	Tomorrow, then? Might as well, before something else happens. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-07 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	So sweet and so ominous at the same time. How could a girl say no? [As if that was in doubt of her saying yes at this point.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-07 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	Hey, that's the way we do it around here. You should know that better than anyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
