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!

[For the most part, Kija's stuck close to the princess, however he can be found intermingling among everyone during the festivities. Someone even got him to change from his traditional robes into something more suitable to the occasion.

. . . While he enjoys drinking as much as the next person, he's shying away from the alcohol. He can't properly watch the princess if his head is fuzzy. But he's willing to participate in any games if challenged, and enjoys the food.

At the moment, however, he's sitting beneath a tree in deep concentration, eyebrows drawn down as he carefully attempts to thread together a flower crown.

This is truly a difficult task. Particularly when one hand is claw tipped and covered in scales.]

	[Kitty pauses to look down at the boy with the light hair and clawed hand. She knows it's not Allen. Not the same face. No scar. Any number of things that don't add up to her first friend in the prison, but what similarities are there get her to stop and look too long.] You must really want that crown.

	I am doing my very best. [An honest response, although he puts his work down temporarily. It's difficult enough to do, let alone if he allows himself to attempt it while distracted.] I would like to make one for the princess. [He can call her princess openly now that he knows she isn't hiding her identity here.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[ . . . ] The flowers are pretty. And would look b-beautiful in her hair I think... [//////////] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The princess? Do you mean Euphie? [Didn't you just get here? How are you already in love? And kind of pathetically at that. Thinks the girl who was broken hearted for over a month.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He blinks] I did not know that Miss Euphie was royalty. [ . . . He feels worse about their interaction from before, now.] Instead, I am referring to my master, Princess Yona. We all arrived together upon the same day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't know her, but we had quite the recent influx. [She was even speculating whether or not it meant something as far as the wardens were concerned.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have yet to speak to many outside of my companions from home... [Euphie, a basket deliverer, and a godless man aside.] However, I had the feeling that my companions had been targeted. There are four who have been brought here from Kouka. [Including himself. The only one he hadn't met before was Kaya.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-01 07:21 pm UTC (link)
	Four, huh? You don't see that very often. Though people arriving together isn't unheard of. It's just usually smaller groupings. Where's Kouka? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
