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!

[Food]

[Receiving bad news her first day back within the dome hardly made Yuuki the most active since her initial arrival. But denial works wonders. So well, in fact, that she finds it all too easy to convince herself that nothing has happened. It's easier this way. In this way... she can actually function.

She just has to keep busy.

And what better way than to attend the festivities? She's even dressed up for the occasion. And, predictably, she's lingering near the food. Filling up her plate, she contemplates some of the many drinks.]

I don't know what any of these are...

Dance

[Everyone's dancing, and of course she's watched a number of people partner up and dance... or attempt to at least move to the music playing. That, she supposes, is the strange part about attending alone and simply intermingling among familiar faces.

Watching the others dance she smiles at anyone who catches her gaze, back leaning against the tree behind her. It's nice to see everyone having such a good time. Her gaze falls after a moment and she finds herself staring at her feet.

Her last memory of home was dancing. Somehow, that feels forever ago, now.

Ask her to dance? Or simple talk with her.]

[Create your own adventure]

[Anything else falls here.]

	Yuuki! [Euphie makes an excited dash toward the girl who once cured her mind of genocidal thoughts. Yeah, she has pretty fond memories of her because of that. She's kind of her hero.] You're back! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[Stopping short.] Oh, no, do you remember? [She doesn't want to startle some poor Yuuki who wouldn't recognize her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Euphie-san- [Lifting her head up with a smile she shakes her head.] I still remember! [For the most part.] It's good to see you again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-03-01 06:55 am UTC (link)
	Oh, that's wonderful. [Euphie steps in to give the other girl a hug.] It's really good to see you again. Not that I wouldn't have been happy to meet you again of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-03-02 02:16 am UTC (link)
	[She reaches up to give the much taller girl a return hug.] No. I'm definitely glad to remember. I've done the whole forgetting thing way too many times [Only once in the dome] to want to repeat that again. I'm glad to see you again too. . . . Sorry it's in prison.

	It hardly feels like a prison most of the time. Also, please excuse me if I'm mistaken, but didn't you only forget your memories of this place once? [Not that she'd be able to remember losing them before the last time.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-03-06 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	Well-- yeah. [Lifting a hand up she scratches at her cheek.] I actually suffered from amnesia for a long time at home though, too. Fortunately I was able to remember again. But it... well, it took a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
