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!

	Our being here is hard to explain in and of itself. [ a rueful smile. ] Sometimes I think the people here spend too much time focusing on what doesn't make sense and not enough on what does. ...is he no longer here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's kind of hard not to focus on what doesn't make sense. There's a lot of that. Yeah, he's no longer here. He's been gone for a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sorry to hear that. Losing someone is never easy, even if you never wanted them to be trapped here with you in the first place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hello_mgann 2016-03-19 01:59 am UTC (link)
	Yeah... it's odd. You don't want them to be here, but you also don't want them to go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's how it was with my brother, [ she comments ruefully. and now, that's the position she's in with han. m'gann may or may not catch her glancing over her shoulder at the ex-smuggler in question, wherever he may be. after how swiftly luke vanished after his arrival, leia is reluctant to let han out of her sight. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hello_mgann 2016-03-29 04:08 am UTC (link)
	I'm sorry to hear that. I've lost most of my friends from home who were here so I understand completely. [She does catch the glance over at the man in question. She takes a moment to watch both Han and her before speaking] Someone else from home? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forceful 2016-04-04 02:08 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. He's— [ one of her generals? a pilot? no, for once, leia opts to be even more honest than she usually is, dropping formality and politeness: ] Someone I'm involved with. Romantically. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hello_mgann 2016-04-13 01:14 am UTC (link)
	[M'gann's a sucker for things that are romantic so this works completely for her] Oh, that's sweet. I'm glad you have him here. I mean, I'm sure both of you would much rather be home, but having someone here can make it easier. (Reply to this) (Parent)
