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!

	It's a group of inmates all following that mission. Researching. Training. Looking for an opportunity or to make one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My friends and I will also search. [They have people they must get back to. Although he is positive everyone here must feel that way.] If we are able to come up with some sort of a conclusion or information, perhaps we will be able to work together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-09 04:40 am UTC (link)
	Meaning you don't want to work with us from the start? [Not that it's open invitation either. There is a process.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I would not mind lending my aid. [He never has. In fact they have done that from one town to the next in each of their travels.] But my greatest priority is my master. If working together might mean that I couldn't remain by her side, particularly in the event of a crisis, then I cannot pledge myself to such a cause. I will always put her first.

[His dragon blood would allow nothing less.]

But that does not mean that I do not wish to contribute to this place by both learning and finding out what I can.

	[She nods, accepting that answer. Her priorities have always been the many before even those closet to her, but she doesn't always even understand that logic herself.] Master, hm? You remind me a little of someone I knew. [It's all superficial, but she'll take the connections where she can get them.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	backoftheline 2016-03-13 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	Someone once here? [Knew implying that she isn't around that person now. Unless that's because they are still back within their home world. He smiles lightly, clearly becoming fond after a moment.] My master is here and is an incredibly strong but compassionate individual. If you were to meet the princess, I believe that you would like her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-13 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, he was one of my first friends here. [The first, but that sounds too sentimental to admit.] But the description of master couldn't sound more different. [They are both redheads, but she doesn't know that part.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He lifts a hand up to his chest.]

I am no replacement for a friend who has left. But I hope that while here the two of us will be able to get along. I would like to meet others and learn as much as I can while in this place. [While he will do all in his power to find a way out, he won't take for granted what he might experience while trying to.

He looks a little unsure by Kitty's last comment.]

This master is a cruel one...?

	I wouldn't expect a replacement. [Allen is irreplaceable.] But getting along I can do. It's best considering what I do here. [She should probably explain what that is, huh? Well, on to discussing Cross!] Not cruel. Just kind of a jerk. He racks up debt for him to pay off and treats him pretty flippantly a lot of the time. He cares in his own way though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	backoftheline 2016-03-23 03:40 am UTC (link)
	Debt for him to pay off... [And this Allen considers him a master? What kind of man of questionable morale could be considered a master with such unsavory behavior?] It sounds as though it is a very... challenging relationship. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-23 04:05 am UTC (link)
	That's my take. But they're both gone now. [Resting in pods not far from her own body.] And you're here. The cycle continues. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	backoftheline 2016-03-23 04:23 am UTC (link)
	Fret not. [A confident smile!] We will all find a way out. And then you will be able to reunite with your companion once more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-23 12:39 pm UTC (link)
	We're not from the same world. But if we overthrow this place it might not matter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	backoftheline 2016-03-23 01:52 pm UTC (link)
	. . . I will admit that I do not really understand the 'world' talk yet. [Different places, like the heavens? But he's never actually been explained it. It's only what he's been trying to figure out himself.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

In this case I really mean we're from different realities. There are countless realities. Some are very similar to each other, and some are wildly different. Imagine instead of making one decision you make a different one and there are two resulting realities because of it. Not such a big deal if you chose sausage over bacon for breakfast maybe. But if you chose to start a war or not then it's a bigger impact.

	[ . . . . . . . . ] But there is only one of me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There are two Kitty Prydes in this place. Tell me again how unique you think you are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[How rude!!!] While there might be someone who possesses the same name or title, it cannot be a replacement for someone else! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-23 02:23 pm UTC (link)
	Not a replacement, but another version of you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	backoftheline 2016-03-23 02:29 pm UTC (link)
	If there is someone who is claiming to be me they are an imposter! [ Sorry Kitty, this is just so confusing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-23 02:31 pm UTC (link)
	They'd also look like you in this case. At least in part. [Could be younger, older, different hair style, scars, bionic legs, fetish for leather. Who knows.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	backoftheline 2016-03-23 02:35 pm UTC (link)
	How dare they! [He wont forgive them!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-23 02:36 pm UTC (link)
	What are you getting upset about? There isn't actually another you here as far as I know. I'm just saying they exist somewhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	backoftheline 2016-03-23 02:49 pm UTC (link)
	I do not acknowledge this impersonator no matter where they are at. [He wont allow someone to get away with trying to mimic one of the dragon warriors, it is sacrilegious, surely the gods will punish this pretend him!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She's just going to give you a look for awhile. Settle.] Up to you. [See if she explains more things.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
