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!

	[ He gets the hesitation and maybe they're writing checks their future selves can't cash, but to hell with it. He's been hesitating and hesitating and holding back and this feels good, this right now, good enough that he's willing to take a chance on not being a complete fuck up. ] Me too. Maybe we could, uh... make a habit of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Her head leaves his shoulder but only so she can meet his eyes, faces pretty close under the circumstances.] I want that. [She wants him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Hey, that is pretty close. It'd be so easy to kiss her right now but that would be a bad idea... right? That would be too much? Of course too much, of course too soon, it's not like this is the perfect moment and they've talked every day just like old times. It's not like they're actually reclaiming what they had before. It's not like this feels so very right.

He licks his lips, subconsciously tilting his head but not moving in. ]

Me too. Maybe if, uh... [ Slow moving? Real slow moving? ]

[What are you doing to her, Reid?

She wants to kiss him right now. She does lean in, only stopping herself because she's afraid of pushing him too far too fast. She's not worried about it being too much for herself. She wants him back. He can sleep over tonight if he wants. She just doesn't want to get ahead of him. She isn't sure she can handle it if he puts the breaks on hard again and loses him.]

Yes... [Softly. Maybe urging him to complete his thought or maybe just giving him permission.]

	[ Sleepovers might be a bad idea even if it feels like he could fall back into it so very easily right about now. He does take her response as permission, hesitating for just another beat before closing the distance. This is it, this is the point of no return. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-08 10:30 pm UTC (link)
	[At the touch of his lips some of those inhibitions let go and she's kissing him fully, pouring the things she's been feeling into the act that she's been holding back from her words. She says her "I love yous" here. Her heart beats faster in her chest as she holds on, swaying stopped for now.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ It's perhaps more intense than he anticipated, but he doesn't pull back. No, he just winds his arms around her and holds on for dear life. It took awhile, but he feels like maybe he finally found his way back from the dark. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[You know what's tricky about having a moment this heartfelt and perfect where everything seems to stop around you and only one other person matters? Phasing. It takes some concentration even if she comes by it naturally and they had to have their fancy air-dancing so...they are about to tumble down in a tangle.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-08 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	[ Should've seen that coming, actually. It's not the first time, although it's rare that she loses herself. At least they're only one step up and so instead of an impending concussion he gets that missed-a-step shock of there not being solid ground where there should be. Can Bambi keep himself from falling on the ice? Tune in next week and find out! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-08 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	[Bambi may have some trouble, but Kittys always land on their feet. Though it does jostle her free of the kiss. She's still holding on to him, knees and legs reacting in time to keep her balanced and trying to do the same for him. And then she's giggling because she's happy and that was ridiculous and he has beautiful eyes and poofy shoulders.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Miraculously he does not fall on his ass, but only barely. He holds on to her, heart hammering wildly in his chest for so many reasons. Oh wow. ] Wow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-08 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sorry. [Between giggles.] I forgot how to do things other than kissing. [She reaches up and smooths back some of his hair.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-08 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	I'll take that as a good sign. [ Amused, because how can he be anything else? ] Hi. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-08 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	Hi yourself. [smiling at him fondly.] You kissed me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-08 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	I kissed you. Was, uhm. Was that okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-08 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	[Still smiling she leans in and kisses him again, this time on the corner of his mouth, softly, before pulling back.] Better than okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-09 12:02 am UTC (link)
	Good. [ He smiles, all full of happiness and just a touch of awkward. What now? Last time they kissed like this they went home together. ] Do, uhm... do you want something to drink? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[If it helps she doesn't expect that. She literally would not kick him out of bed, but she doesn't think he's ready for that. Maybe she's not either. At least not ready to believe he's at a place where he's ready if that makes any sense.] Trying to liquor me up too? [But she smiles and nods, not really thinking he even means alcohol since it's Reid. She does do something bold though. Well, less bold now that kissing has happened. She reaches for his hand to hold it.]

	Probably safer if I don't. You're already having some trouble here. [ He teases, but takes her hand without even a sliver of a doubt. They should probably have a conversation about this before things get weird but he can't bring himself to do it right this minute. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-09 12:24 am UTC (link)
	Wow, you barely fell. [Amused, she squeezes his hand and walks toward the refreshments with him. It's really only now that she is remembering other people exist and that somewhere in this crowd is Pavel.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
