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!

Sector 5

[ Suzaku has been quieter than he usually is, probably quieter than he should be, and he knows that. But he's still majorly feeling guilty, and bad, and... yeah.

But these are physical competition, and he's boiling on the inside, so... yeah. He'll be all over the place, no games missed. ]

Food

[ Yeah, he'll actually be seen eating, for once. He tends to try and stay alone for mealtimes, as well as most times not actually dedicated to training or patrols, but not today. He'll make the effort. And even wear a smile and pay attention, to see who's arrived, face to face, and if he's needed somewhere... ]

Dance

[ Suzaku is definitely here because he knows Euphie will want him to be. But he might ask other people to dance, too. Possibly. ]

	[Yuuri was dressed by his new/returned roommate. Not physically dressed. That would be weird. (No mustache either.) He was just coaxed into joining in the spirit of things. Right now he's thinking about joining in the spirit of some food!] Suzaku! [Excited Yuuri is excited.] I was getting worried you weren't here again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whiteknightmare 2016-03-01 01:28 pm UTC (link)
	[ Suzaku is actually feeling a little less crappy than usual, after all the competitions, and the smile for Yuuri is fairly real. He ducks his head a little, the surprise just a tad too real. He's not used to anyone letting him know that Suzaku's been missed. ] I'm still here, Yuuri. And it's good to see you so happy - has anything nice happened? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yuuki and Zero are back! [There's such a bright smile you might think this was something you were supposed to understand.] Zero doesn't remember me, but Yuuki does. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Suzaku is doing a good job of it! Yuuri is none the wiser.] Yeah, he's my friend. He used to be one of my roommates. I guess it's kind of strange name. [If that's what you're pointing out.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I... [ I know somebody with that name at home. But that's far, far too complicated to explain. Instead, ] Do you know if he comes from the same place as anyone else? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2016-03-01 04:34 pm UTC (link)
	Sure. Yuuki. And a lot of other people, but they aren't here anymore. [Yuuri does look just a bit curious though.] Why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whiteknightmare 2016-03-01 07:04 pm UTC (link)
	But not the same as me and Euphie? As Gino? [ He doesn't know Yuuki. That's not quite the same as her not coming from their world. There are a lot of people in the world that he doesn't know, after all. So he has to ask. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ He... didn't really think to dress up more particularly than usual, but his habitual usual is very far from sloppy, so she'd hardly have to be disappointed.

Almost despite himself, he reaches for her hand, a small, soft smile on his lips. ]

Always. ... I mean, it would be a great honor for me if you would dance with me... [ his eyes glint with a hint of mischief, belying the very formal language that he knows she might grow a tad cross at him because of. ] Euphie.

[He looks as handsome as always. She takes his hand, brightening when he manages not to do something formal with her name.] The honor is mine. [Teasing him back a little. She's just really glad he's here again and that they can spend some time together when everything is peaceful and beautiful and relaxed. No painful memories being forced on them or strange occurrences like new bodies.]

I'm glad you came. [At all, but just to this dance works too.]

[ It really is nice, not that he minds taking care of her as a mermaid, or - anything else, really. But it's nice, she's always been one of the most beautiful things in his life. Just her.

He ducks his head. ]

I think I am, too. [ And he feels a bit selfish for that, because who is he to deserve things to be glad for? But here he is.

A moment, and he shakes his head. ]

What is your favorite dance?

	[If Suzaku doesn't deserve things to be glad for then neither does she! At least that's what she'd think.] What if I said it's this one right now? [Maybe teasing again, but she gives him a warm smile with it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whiteknightmare 2016-03-01 04:30 pm UTC (link)
	I... would then apologize that we missed part of it already? [ Because it's started. It's so easy to be easy with her. Always was. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-03-01 04:38 pm UTC (link)
	So thoughtful of you. [Just dancing along with him, enjoying the movements and the music.] I like all sorts of dances. When I was a child I liked watching ball gowns spin as women danced. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Suzaku's breath catches a bit, his eyes growing a little hooded, a little haunted.

He used to imagine Lelouch and Nunnally as they had been, very small, at balls and such, among twirling dresses, when Nunnally could walk and see, when Lelouch would smile, not in the scary reality of the fall of Japan.

And now Nunnally is dead. Because of him.

Slowly, he forces his smile to widen. ]

And then you got to wear beautiful gowns. [ A half step, and he spins her, making her skirts flare and her beautiful hair fly. ]

Like this?

	[When at a festival, Yuuki is most likely to be found by the food. Glancing up she smiles at the individual in front of her. It's... Suzaku? Her memories from her time here before are still a little foggy. It's been quite a while after all.] Hey there! Long time no see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whiteknightmare 2016-03-01 01:47 pm UTC (link)
	[ Suzaku's hand stops on its way to his mouth, then he carefully sets the bite back down on his plate. His mind races through the possibilities. ] Hi. I... if you have met me here, before, I should let you know that I have no memories of when I was here before. I'm sorry? I'm glad to meet you for the first time again, though! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-03-02 02:07 am UTC (link)
	Ah.... [She stops a little short, her smile flickering a moment.] Sorry, then... [It's the same.] . . . Just like Zero, I guess. [His memories have faded, too.] I'm sorry for the surprise, then. I should have been introducing myself instead. [Bending forward she bows politely.] My name is Yuuki Kuran. I'm sorry for the confusion, Suzaku-san. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You don't have to apologize - when I came here, it seemed like almost everyone knew me, so I got used to it.

[ And he doesn't twitch at the mention of Zero only because he and Yuuri already talked about him. Or rather, it probably not being him.

Suzaku tilts his head to one side at her name, but, first things first. ]

Yuuki-san. [ He bows, and then smiles, both brightly and a little sheepishly. ] I was very young when Japan was no longer, in our world, it has been a long time since I have heard myself so addressed. Most people do just say Suzaku - and you can, as well, if it will be all right.

[ But a part of him that he had to stomp on when he was ten years old is just happy to see people who are Japanese and proud with it. ]

I am sorry if that is unpleasant to talk about, but - Yuuri said that Zero is from the same world as you. But he does not remember you still?

[ . . . He's from the same world as Euphie, right? Still to hear that Japan no longer exists in a place... it's sad. ]

If you're sure... [Does he not want any reminders of the past, then?] If just Yuuki is easier for you, then you can say that too. [She smiles a touch.] There are so many foreigners in Marina that it's not so strange any more.

[That said, she'll probably slip more than once. She blinks after a moment, though. Ah-]

Oh. Yuuri-kun said something, then? I guess it should't be surprising... [This is the point where she looks... a little sheepish and a little sad.] Well- he doesn't remember our time spent together here. I mean... there was the time he lost all his memories. [Due to her. . . ]. . . But he was kind of forceful in regaining those. [Really forceful.]

He recognizes me now, though. Just not anything about this place.

[ . . . Which also makes her feel a touch more guilty for having run away just minutes after meeting again just a few days ago.]

	[They haven't really interacted much yet but Suzaku is in Jack's team in the Defence Force so when he sees the young man looking interested in the various games on offer it's natural for him to amble over.] Hey, there!

[ Considering they're sharing an apartment and Euphie is one of Aidan's closest friends, they probably should've talked more than they have so far. Just one of those things, he guesses, like how there are still people in the dome even six months in that he's never talked to. This is someone Euphie knows tho and so he makes an effort to at least say hi and be pleasant. ]

Hey... Suzaku?
