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!

	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)

	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)

	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)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-07 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	It does seem vaguely familiar. And you haven't forgotten how to dance I see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-07 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	Of course not. I've had weddings to go to. [ Even though he didn't really appreciate the joy of dancing until she dragged him out on the dance floor. ] You forced me to dance with you on my third day here. Do you remember? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-08 12:47 am UTC (link)
	Forced is such a strong word. Invited? Coaxed maybe? And I think it was more like this. [This is where the magic happens. Or the mutant power anyway as she phases them steps up on the air. Join her?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-08 08:43 am UTC (link)
	[ You know what? He will. He will join her, heart beating so hard in his chest. Maybe it's just for this moment but it feels like they reclaimed a bit of what they had. Dancing, the trust that comes with her phasing, all the things that felt lost but maybe were just hiding away for a while. ] Good point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-08 02:17 pm UTC (link)
	[She was holding her breath a little for that one, but the fact he is dancing on air with her makes her feel like...like she's dancing on air. She gives his hand a squeeze and looks into his eyes.] I'm surprised we never tried it this way again. [Until now.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-08 03:04 pm UTC (link)
	Didn't we? [ Huh. ] Maybe you were using your powers as an escalator more than anything, now that I think about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-08 03:33 pm UTC (link)
	We've logged a lot of time air-walking. Did we air-dance again? Maybe we did. [Sad if she forgot it. She doesn't want to forget any of the good times, but there were a lot, weren't there?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-08 04:29 pm UTC (link)
	We've done a lot. It's hard to keep track of it all. [ So don't be too sad. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We have. Feels like I've known you for a lifetime instead of not even a year. [And without even nodding to the 7:1 elephant in the room it has been like a lifetime. Her life divided up in before her parents died and the world fell to her life as an X-Man to her life in the prison. She'd been through the worst of the transition before she even met Reid. She can only imagine what he would have thought of her in those early days. Just another monster to profile maybe. Or that could be her own insecurities with her past choices talking.]

Right? I can't believe I've only been here a little more than six months.

[ She's not entirely correct with him profiling her as a monster, but it would be a different assessment for sure. They got lucky. He came into the dome at just the right time, under the right circumstances. If he'd arrived fresh off Maeve's death he wouldn't have been open to any romance at all and if she and Tyki had been in a better place then nothing would've happened.

He winds his arm a little snugger around her. This is nice. ]

	[Maybe not entirely appropriate for this music, but as long as they are dancing on air and holding close she's also going to lay her head on his shoulder.] My actual one year anniversary will be in twenty-four days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-08 07:45 pm UTC (link)
	[ Is there music? He wasn't paying attention. ] Oh wow. There should be some kind of party, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[That gets a soft laugh he can probably feel across his neck or could if he didn't have the world's highest collar on. His loss!] Didn't we just celebrate the joy of me at my birthday? [Then again "we" didn't because Reid wasn't there. It was still a very meaningful event, and him being there might have been all kinds of awkward especially if he didn't want to be there yet, but his presence was missed. She doesn't blame him for that now, but a chance to do it again with him? She wouldn't say no.]

	thisiscalm 2016-03-08 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	[ Stupid collar being stupidly high! Like a prophylactic for the neck! ] Sure, but are we really ever finished celebrating the joy of you? [ And yeah, him not being there is maybe why he's insisting that they should throw her another one so he can do it properly. It's selfish, but there's cake in it for her? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-08 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	[Smiling against his costume jacket. He can probably hear it in her voice though.] I'll show up if you want to do something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-08 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	Then maybe I will. [ If things continue like this, that maybe is a definitely. He should probably pull away or end the dance or something but instead he moves a hand up to stroke her hair. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-08 08:48 pm UTC (link)
	[It's a good thing there's a blockade between her and his neck or there might be some ill-advised nuzzling coming. She could just phase his shirt off mid-dance. That probably wouldn't be appreciated though.] It sounds great. [Less the party and more the thought he'll still want to do that in 24 days. That feels really great too.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-08 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	[ Ill-advised nuzzling in public? Such indecency! Also no undressing please, that would be very bad for what they got going here. ] I'm glad I came out here tonight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-08 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	[She'll keep her phasing to dancing fun instead of such things!] Me too. You know I... [She hesitates, not sure if it's too much or if it's the kind of honesty that's good for them.] I could get used to this. [Wants to get used to this. Is afraid of it getting taken away again. Maybe it is too big a statement for how few words were in it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-08 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	[ He gets the hesitation and maybe they're writing checks their future selves can't cash, but to hell with it. He's been hesitating and hesitating and holding back and this feels good, this right now, good enough that he's willing to take a chance on not being a complete fuck up. ] Me too. Maybe we could, uh... make a habit of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
