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!

	[Aigis may be dressed for the occasion but that doesn't mean she can resist physical contests. Find her in Sector 5 exhibiting some impressive robotic accuracy at archery or hefting giant logs with ease. She's not particularly competitive, she just enjoys activities.] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[He's watching the woman lift the logs up... and understandably is fairly stunned. Kija's gift from the heavens is his strength. But it's the first time he's ever seen a woman heft such around with such ease.] That is... quite impressive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Aigis beams (no pun intended, even though she does have a directory of puns in her programming) around the log she's still holding, looking pleased about the opportunity to meet someone new.] Yes, it is a very large tree. It must have been quite old. [Oh did you mean her strength was impressive? Because she thought you were complimenting the tree on its size.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Not what he meant.... but he simply smiles.] To grow so large, that must surely be the case. [Did it come from the dome here?] This place beneath the ocean must have existed for quite a long time, to grow such greenery. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	From what I understand our surroundings are a virtual simulation. Since none ofnitnisnrealni imagine it would be easy to create trees like this. [Still holding the tree in question.] They have often dramatically changed our surroundings before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He doesn't even know what a simulation is. Blinking he approaches the pile of tree logs and hefts up a couple into his claw.] I am holding them now however. How are they not real? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Apparently my phones autocorrect lost its goddamn mind in that last comment wow orgia_mode 2016-03-02 12:50 pm UTC (link)
	From what I understand our physical bodies are enclosed in small chambers and all of this is being programmed into our minds. Several other inmates have seen evidence of it, although I have not. [She tosses her log away, sending it flipping end over end off down the field so she can extend her hand to shake.] I am Aigis, by the way. Hello. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Haha NO WORRIES I knew what you meant backoftheline 2016-03-02 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	[... What and what...? None of it makes any sense to Kija. He tosses his logs, too, however before awkwardly lifting a white scaled claw up in return. This is a type of greeting?] And I am Hakuryuu. It is a pleasure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	orgia_mode 2016-03-04 12:32 am UTC (link)
	It is very nice to meet you, Hakuryuu-san. Forgive me for saying so, but your hand seems very unusual. [She's hardy one to talk. The hand turning his over curiously is a hard and slightly cold, a layer of silicone over steel.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Victor can't help but be impressed by the accuracy of the shots she fired. With an aim like that she could even give the human weapon a run for his money.] Haha, I could never hope to aim that well. Where did you learn that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	salutiferous 2016-03-05 06:17 am UTC (link)
	Only from watching? [That was, in a way, even more stunning.] You need a great deal of strength for archery, right? Are you doing any other sports? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	orgia_mode 2016-03-05 01:35 pm UTC (link)
	No, S.E.E.S. is the only school club I have participated in. [Giving context hasn't occurred to her yet. She does feel like she owes an explanation about be abilities.] I am Aigis, the 7th generation Anti-Shadow Suppression Unit. I believe most of my capibilities exceed human limitations. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	salutiferous 2016-03-06 05:59 am UTC (link)
	I-I have never heard of a school club called S.E.E.S. What are you doing in that club? [Confused? Yes, he's definitely confused. When she refers to herself as unit, though, it gets even worse.] Wait, do you mean - what are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
