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!

	You ever win a ship in high stakes sabaac? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-03-07 02:10 am UTC (link)
	Never even heard of sabaac. More of a Chinese Checkers man myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodstriped 2016-03-07 02:49 am UTC (link)
	Yeah? Never heard of that one. [ And he takes this opportunity of culture confusion to make the first move. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-03-07 02:57 pm UTC (link)
	It's only one of the best games in the Verse. [And he'll go ahead and place a marker as well.] Perhaps we can find something similar around the prison. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodstriped 2016-03-07 03:47 pm UTC (link)
	[ In the grand tradition of Han being an aggressive loudmouth, his next move is to block the most obvious line of three Mal could make. ] Well, they've got everything else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-03-07 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	[Mal can do the blocking too. See? He'll block your obvious line of three as well.] There's plenty the same... then there's random stuff that's the same but different. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodstriped 2016-03-08 05:50 am UTC (link)
	[ Well aren't they just aggressively approaching a stalemate? Maybe, probably. ] Yeah, I'm noticing that. Mostly with the food. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-03-09 03:56 am UTC (link)
	Food. Games. Books. And then somethin' will randomly be the same as home. No telling which is which. [Perhaps an aggressive stalemate. Perhaps one of them will screw up. It's been known to happen.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodstriped 2016-03-09 08:14 am UTC (link)
	[ Aggressive something. If anyone is bound to screw up first, though, it's this guy. There's only so many moves he can block without leaving himself open somewhere else. ] Find anything good? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-03-10 02:48 am UTC (link)
	[Mal stops to think. He does this in Chinese Checkers too, but then Zoe typically takes him out. He could continue blocking... or he could just make a set of three. He opts for the second choice.] Ha! Good? Oh... anythin's better than protein packs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodstriped 2016-03-10 04:13 am UTC (link)
	Don't-- [ Well, don't 'ha' him, but as it turns out Mal has a perfectly good reason for it. Han takes it in stride and makes his next move without further complaint. ] Say that now, next time we get a party it'll be full of 'em. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-03-10 04:28 am UTC (link)
	I wouldn't put it past 'em. Though so far they ain't done nothin' that bad yet. An' they make some of the shiniest dishes you can think of involvin' tomatoes. [Fresh produce in general is pretty shiny in Mal's mind.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodstriped 2016-03-10 04:57 am UTC (link)
	Tomatoes, huh? Maybe if I keep looking, I'll find a good nerf steak to go with 'em. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-03-10 02:04 pm UTC (link)
	[He moves another piece to set up another group of three.] Nerf steaks? You have some strange creatures in yer 'Verse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodstriped 2016-03-11 01:54 am UTC (link)
	[ Welp, now Han is pretty well screwed at this game. At least now he can stop thinking too much about the moves he's making. ] Strange to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-03-11 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. Strange to me. What is a nerf? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodstriped 2016-03-12 04:31 am UTC (link)
	Big smelly animal that makes a good steak. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-03-13 02:14 pm UTC (link)
	[Mal snorts.] Suppose I walked into that one. Most good steaks come from big smelly animals. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodstriped 2016-03-13 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	Good to know something stays the same most places. [ He looks down at the board and... Laughs. ] Your game. Nothing else I can do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-03-14 07:50 pm UTC (link)
	It does seem so. Everyone has weird universes, but there's something similar in all of them. I guess there's only so many ways to get food. [Mal grins as he takes the pieces off the board.] You start this time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodstriped 2016-03-14 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, there's plenty of options if you're not picky about it. [ Or terribly attached to your tastebuds. Han places his piece. Hopefully he won't lose quite as badly this time. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-03-15 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	Long as it ain't a protein pack. We end up eatin' that more nights'n I can count. [Actually, the food here is one of the few perks. He's not willing to give his freedom up over it, but it is nice.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodstriped 2016-03-15 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	[ Oh, that's unfortunate. ] Least the meals are a good change of pace. I don't figure Chewie would've put up with that for too long. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-03-16 04:29 am UTC (link)
	Who's Chewie? [Definitely not someone he's mentioned yet.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodstriped 2016-03-16 05:13 am UTC (link)
	Co-pilot. He's, uh... [ How the kest is he gonna explain a Wookiee to someone who has no idea what a Wookiee is. ] A Wookiee. Tall, furry, not too happy if all he gets is rations. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
