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!

[Sam is not a merry man. You can't make him dress up. You didn't! He's not! Well, there are clothes. Regular ~~lumberjack~~ hunter clothes. He's not naked. You go to some really strange places when you assume things!

There is some note taking as he walks around. Sometimes you just have to record these things for posterity. He'll even do a sketch of the purple octopus crest. He's just patrolling and eating some roasted vegetables and, okay, stopping by the dance at least.]

	And here I didn't think I'd find anyone here less enthusiastic about dressing up than myself. [At least Ianto went with a novelty t-shirt. Come to think of it, have you ever seen him in something that's not a suit, Sam?]</a> Nice octopus. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-03-01 01:57 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks. As I got about half way in I realized I probably could have just written "octopus" instead. [Just a few more tentacles to go.] Dressing up isn't really my thing. I guess I could have worn a suit. I see you went...another way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It seemed like an easy way to deflect any comments from Jack about why I'm not in costume. I love him but he can be exhausting to deal with at times. [An understatement.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-03-06 09:45 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't know he was so intent on presentation. Does that mean he's not wearing the jacket? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-03-07 01:38 pm UTC (link)
	He's gone with a cape and tights today. I got bored watching him challenge everyone he could find to wrestle though so I thought I'd wander about on my own for a bit. So what's your excuse for not dressing up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-03-07 01:41 pm UTC (link)
	I...didn't want to? How's that for an excuse? [He really has no one in his life making him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-03-07 01:44 pm UTC (link)
	An honest one. [He can obviously sympathize with not wanting to dress up.] Are you at least having fun? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-03-07 02:02 pm UTC (link)
	Sure. I mean it's not exactly my thing and it's not even historically accurate. [nerd alert] But it's always interesting to see how the wardens interpret these things. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-03-07 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	[Historically accurate? Sam do you secretly like this sort of thing?] I am always impressed with their theme selection. I'm not quite sure where they get their ideas for these sorts of thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Hush, you!] They're probably studying us and our histories. Why they use that for parties, I have no idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-03-09 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	Well I'd rather it be used for parties than for something more devious. At least the parties are enjoyable, if strange. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-03-16 12:50 pm UTC (link)
	Are you sure the parties aren't devious? [There's a little smile. He's not really trying to freak you out. But seriously, there could be an ulterior motive here.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ I'm sorry, are you not getting into the spirit of today? Because Reid is. Don't you feel silly now? Oh wait, that's just him. He might be tugging at his sleeve a bit, approaching Sam. ] Hey. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-07 11:11 am UTC (link)
	You're definitely in the minority. [ Thank heavens. He feels less awkward being surrounded by other nerds. ] You never did stuff like this? Did you only dress up as FBI agents? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-09 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	Did you tho? [ C'mon Sam. We're all friends here. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-03-10 08:48 pm UTC (link)
	I... Had friends in college. [Shut up. Your friends are all coworkers too. It's not his fault Dean is his only coworker who ever survives.] And Cas. [The angel counts, right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
