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!

	If any of this was easy we'd all be gone, right? [ Bad joke, and he shakes his head at himself. ] I should probably save some questions for the next party. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She smiles softly.] Exactly that. [It does always set her a little on edge when new arrivals act like they would have done it all so much better and been out by now when it's definitely not for lack of trying. But she gets it too. It's just been a long time since she was new. Sometimes she needs a minute to relax and take it in stride. She can also be pretty good into reading things in that aren't even being said because she feels like they should have accomplished their goals a long time ago and she's always her own worst critic.]

Without questions what would you even do with yourself?

[ Oh, Han is definitely thinking it. In general he's always operating under the assumption he could've done it better and faster, and this place makes the agitation over a lack of progress that much more pronounced. Thankfully he's learned it's better to keep that to himself so he can keep getting information and help. ]

Oh, I bet I could find something. Was thinking of starting in on redundant life support once this dies down.

	[That...is an interesting idea.] What are you thinking of using to power it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodstriped 2016-03-09 07:08 am UTC (link)
	[ He shrugs. At this point, an interesting idea is about as far as he's gotten. ] Doubt they'd let me have a Quadex power core, but if I keep looking around I bet I can find something that'd work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They might with enough rehabilitation points. There are other means of generating power. None are particularly efficient here, but that can be worked out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not too interested in going through them for it, but if I can figure out a fuel source building an engine won't be the hardest part. [ He's jury-rigged enough on the Falcon that he's pretty confident he won't blow himself up in the process. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There might be some alternative methods. You could always make a watermill. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He can't tell if that's a serious suggestion or not. ] Yeah. Not exactly what I'm looking for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It's not where she'd start, but using some sort of water-based power system could be an option if other things run dry.] I'd definitely hit up the other options first. But it's a good idea. [She approves. Not that you needed her approval.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodstriped 2016-03-11 01:59 am UTC (link)
	[ He nods, because of course it is. ] It'll beat sitting around waiting for something to go wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-11 01:30 pm UTC (link)
	Can't disagree with you there. I always have some project going. Lost a few of them when we switched prisons. (Reply to this) (Parent)
