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!

	Oh! Now I remembered something you said when we met... Please call Zeno by his name and not Ouryuu. That makes him much happier. [This she knows for sure.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We are still human. [Even if they possess the power of the four dragons.] Ah- yes. It would feel strange to change now. The four of us are all brothers. Not to use his name would feel somehow strange by this point. [Even though Zeno actually calls him by his title. Not that Kija minds, either.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Okay. It would've been funny to see people's faces if I told them I married a dragon, though. [She giggles.] They'd imagine him all weird.

Brothers... [She hadn't heard Zeno had brothers just like Kija and Yona hadn't heard he had a wife. Sometimes Kaya felt left out when he saw him smiling at them, as if she didn't belong with them. And maybe she didn't. But they both had been kind to her, and they were amazing and made Zeno happy, and she had no doubt the other two dragons were just as great. She really hoped they were from after her time, so he wasn't alone anymore.] If that's the case, does that make me your sister-in-law?

	You are welcome to call me 'Brother' then, if you like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A-ah, I didn't want to imply... to impose as family... I, uh, really prefer to call people by name.

[In her mind, the image of her little brother is fresh. This conversation is a bit painful, so she's trying to focus on something else. She continues her work on that flower.

...She's looking away but glancing at the claw.]

Can I see...? [No, that's not polite.] Ah, forget it. That's too personal.

	backoftheline 2016-03-05 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	[ . . . Why will no one call him brother.] See? [He glances back at her.] Oh. This? [He holds out the flower crown he's working on.] I still have a ways to go on it however. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-03-05 08:15 pm UTC (link)
	[Because she's abusing and imposing too much already on Zeno's friends. That's not what she meant, so she just buries more within herself.] It's... going well. But forget I said anything. [She's still glancing at the nails and scales. A dragon hand.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He can tell something's a little off, and that's when he finally takes note. It isn't the flower crown she means. It's what is holding it.]

You meant the dragon claw.

[A touch of color ends up spreading through his cheeks. Outside of Hakuryuu Village, no one has ever really asked to see it. And even in his village he was always a little embarrassed showing it off. But he doesn't mind.]

It is all right. [It's only...] You are not... intimidated or turned off by it?

	fadingsunshine 2016-03-06 01:19 am UTC (link)
	No, why would I? I'm just curious. I've never seen such a thing. [She hesitates before she gently grabs Kija's wrist and examines his fingers.] The scales shine a bit when they move under the light! That's pretty! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	backoftheline 2016-03-06 01:52 am UTC (link)
	[His cheeks turn a much more pink shade at her words.] I am honored that you think so. [Pretty, she called them.] It is much more impressive when exorcising the power of the white dragon god. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-03-06 03:19 am UTC (link)
	[She's poking at one scale like a child.] They feel warmer than I thought they would be! Power? I thought they were just strong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	backoftheline 2016-03-06 03:36 am UTC (link)
	[As long as she doesn't pick at it, that doesn't seem to hurt or bother him. Even if he's still a little flushed.] It can expand to many sizes larger, to better help fight or defend. I have made sure to exorcise it greatly throughout the years. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-03-06 03:55 am UTC (link)
	That's so cool! C-can I see or is it painful? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	1/2 backoftheline 2016-03-06 04:04 am UTC (link)
	Not for something like that. [It's ached before, but for different reasons. The sacred power of the white dragon is not for show and tell. . . . But he doesn't mind with Kaya. She is Zeno's wife, after all. And he finds her to be a very innocent, and kind individual.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	2/2 backoftheline 2016-03-06 04:08 am UTC (link)
	[Setting the crown down within his lap, he reaches out to unwrap the whole of his right hand. And as the binding comes lose it grows almost instantly, many sizes it's original length. He's careful not to poke or hit Kaya.] As you can see, with the heaven's strength it would be difficult for an enemy to harm my master. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-03-06 04:15 am UTC (link)
	[W H O A. She extends her own little hand in the air, and then looks at his enormous hand.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	2/2 oops fadingsunshine 2016-03-06 04:17 am UTC (link)
	When you said that, I thought it would be as big as a bear's paw. But it's much larger than my head! It's gigantic! Amazing! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[While the warmth still tinges his cheeks, he lowers his hand a bit, holding it up so that his palm is facing her so that she can compare without having to strain. Like this... there really is a difference, isn't there.]

Usually one who is faced with it does not think so. [Usually they are dying or being injured in some form.] But it is a nice change of pace to hear your kind words.

[He lowers his hand.] The power of Ryokuryuu and Seiryuu are spectacular, too.

	fadingsunshine 2016-03-06 04:29 am UTC (link)
	[She's really cheery about it, though. She giggles as she compares the two hands. And why would she have to fear? What's so terrible about it? He's a nice guy and wouldn't hurt a friendly person.] Oh, does Ryokuryuu's foot grow in sizes, too? It should be hard to wear shoes if that's the case! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	backoftheline 2016-03-06 04:45 am UTC (link)
	It... [ . . . Well, he's never seen it do such before. He speaks even as his hand returns to normal.] Instead, Jae-ha prefers to use his foot to soar through the sky and kick. I do not think he would care to expand it if he knows how. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-03-07 01:57 am UTC (link)
	So the Ryokuryuu really flies? Does his foot has scales or is he like Zeno? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	backoftheline 2016-03-08 03:30 am UTC (link)
	He jumps so high that it might as well be flying. [It's... an experience to be upon his back while doing so.] His leg is rarely visible beneath his clothes and boots. However, he is more like myself than Zeno. But I do not think he would be comfortable showing it off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-03-10 12:15 am UTC (link)
	O-oh. Got it. If I ever meet him, I won't ask him to see his leg or his jumps. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	backoftheline 2016-03-18 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	I have yet to notice him really hide his ability, but that might be the best option when it comes to his leg. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
