STARDROP CELEBRATION: FINAL DAY


LET'S PARTY!
premise | rules | taken | pick-up


A. Arrivals and Much More

You’re here because you were dropped somewhere that tried sending you home, or you're someone with a call to the heart to explore the vast universe. The buses run at odd schedules, so please pardon any interruptions! I hope you fellas make yourselves at home, here!

[ Marjorie’s whole speech rings through your ears as you begin to explore the area. It seems a few people who arrived on the TDM have already been here for a week, but you’re just a newcomer. So where are you when this all went down? Are you trying to get back on a bus that’ll take you home, or…?

B. Home Sweet Home

[ The dust has settled on the bus ride here, and you can’t help but notice that your farmland… well, it’s a mess. Rocks and grass everywhere, no matter which layout you were set with. You were given a set of tools, and the message that this land is yours to shape or change or build on no matter what you want, so long as it’s yours. The little crate by the edge of the house is what will hold your bounties from farming, collected nightly with money delivered to your mailbox the following day, like some kind of Produce Fairy visited.

The house is in alright shape. It’s not brilliant, but it has a kitchen, a bathroom, and a studio bedroom where all your belongings can be. It’s wide enough to accommodate several things until you upgrade it.

Sometimes you see a stray dog or cat at the edge of your property. Do you adopt it?

Anyway, it’s time to make what you will of your farm. ]



The Last Day Of
The Stardrop Celebration!

FESTIVAL PLAYLIST


[ Down a hill a little ways from Pelican Town is a remarkable festival set-up! Several attractions and vendors line the streets where everything is going down. Where will you go? ]


C. Food Stalls

[ Surrounding the entire property are dozens of food stalls, from all around the universe. Marjorie bussed in caterers from all around with a healthy sum of gold, and they’re happy to sell their wares in this strange place tonight. Where you might find octopus balls, you’ll also find kraken balls. Where you might find corndogs, you’ll find dogs selling corn.

It’s a veritable buffet! And the gold you’ve started with is more than enough to go shopping for food. Have fun! ]


D. Games

[ All manners of Carnival Games are set up! From throwing a baseball at bottles to catching goldfish with a paper net, everything you can dream of is here. There are even some unorthodox games, like dance-offs, karaoke, and a little bit of everything. Apparently, the NPC couldn’t choose who to go with what. It definitely makes for a big festival.

In addition to the above, there’s water gun races, squeaky duck ponds, skee-ball, target shooting, test your strength with a hammer, pitching speed, shooting hoops… and more! ]


E. Three-legged Race

[ You didn’t think this festival was going to go by without tomfoolery, did you? For the prize of 1,000 Gold, you can rally up a partner and get tied to them by the ankle, participating in a no-rules no-bars-held race. The winners will be randomized! But the real gift is going to be the fact that the ties around your ankles? Aren’t coming undone. You’re going to have to be tied together until 11 PM! ]

F. Fireworks

[ Errant magic and mishaps aside, you have to admit, the fireworks show at the end of it all is really something. Marjorie hired a pony for them, and the lights are as ethereal as they are non-traditional. It’s a good moment to snuggle up to someone or enjoy company with a new friend. ]

G. Wildcard

[ Exactly what it says! Make your own prompt. ]

[ OOC; Hello, everyone! This community is L I V E, from now on, you can make both network and action posts on this community, as well as use the notice board pinned to the top of the community! You're also welcome to make IC inboxes for one on one conversation and messaging! We hope you enjoy the community and if you need anything, please leave a note on the contact page! Thank you!

People who want to keep their CR from the test drive; you may! Your characters just arrived a little earlier than others! ]

Excuse me!

[ It's a bright voice, if a little hushed, in deference to the later hour and the display going on overhead. Chisa approaches carefully, walking more on the balls of her feet than normally (some habits never die; once you learn to walk quietly, it just sort of naturally falls into being a habit).

She's dressed up slightly for the occasion, even if it's not really a summer festival like the ones she grew up with -- a blue sundress with a swirling white pattern, and her hair pinned up to be off her neck. She tries her friendliest smile. It's been a long time since she's just gotten to approach someone casually. ]


Do you mind if I sit here too? There's a good view here.

[ She shouldn't be staring.

Really, really, she shouldn't, but she is studying his open yukata and while she can admire his build (nice), mostly it's that her fingers are itching to fix it. Don't disrespect comfortable summer clothes!! Come on!! Put your clothes on properly, comb your hair, aaaaAAAaaaa-- ahem.

Ultimately, Chisa compromises by wandering over to watch what he's doing and whoa. That's a lot.

For her part, she's wearing a summer dress, not a yukata, but she does have her hair pinned up with kanzashi. ]


Ehh, you're really good at that one... are you gonna clear them out?

Dango!!

[ She says it brightly, almost proudly, even if she's not the one who made it. Dango, actually dango! It's been so long...!!

Well, no, it hasn't been that long, but she hasn't been in a position to make or have her own for a while. It's the three-colored sanshoku dango, which might be a bit of a private joke for herself and her friends, but that doesn't change the fact that it's still tasty. She brandishes the stick for a moment, like someone (very poorly) managing a sword, but then holds it up for better inspection.

Then she gets a good look at the boy, his stoic expression, and makes herself gentle both her voice and her expression. ]


They make it out of rice flour and sugar and red beans. Not too sweet, but still good for dessert or a snack. Would you like to try?

[personal profile] alloutoflove 2018-06-18 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm! ♥ It's been a while since I've been to something like this.

[ Her tail swishes with the comment. She can't wag it like a dog might (and not for lack of practicing), but she can use it as visual punctuation. ]

It's cute, right? Everyone looks like they're having a good time. I didn't wanna let it pass me by!

That's good to know. I'm Toshinori, nice to meet you miss.

[He wanted to ask what her quirk was, but realized there was probably no one from his world here. Yet anyhow.]

It seems like today is going to be eventful from start to finish.

[ It's been a while since Chisa's been to a festival like this, and honestly, she's never really been one for playing the games... it was always more fun to egg one of her friends to win prizes for her. But she's on her own for the moment, and she wanders over to a hoop toss booth to admire the row of stuffed animals for prizes... and the pile that Mithos has accumulated. Nice?? She lets out a low whistle of admiration. ]

Ehhhhh, you're really good at this sort of thing, aren't you...

[personal profile] whisted 2018-06-18 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm.

[The sound is definitely affirmative, but after a beat Horatio adds a nod to underline the point. If there were ever a time to be generous with food, surely a place like this was it.

The follow-on question is briefly disrupted by Horatio ripping off a piece for himself as well, munching quietly before blinking down in confusion and touching his own chest.

People wanting to know is... novel, now that he's here.

[personal profile] whisted 2018-06-18 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Another tiny sip doesn't reveal anything new, but it does seem to have brought Horatio down into his heels a little better.]

It's important, at least. --farming.

[personal profile] whisted 2018-06-18 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
...hm.

[The general concept is still new. It doesn't tense his shoulders in confusion, but it does bring his lip briefly back between his teeth.]

Do...?

[Being truly assertive with asking questions for his own curiosity is still rather hit or miss, apparently.]
fiery_liger: (Following you)

[personal profile] fiery_liger 2018-06-18 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well! That's...quite a lovely surprise. When Arietta found the flowers on her pillow, she wondered how it gotten there...she has no idea that it came from him.

For now, she'll make it a deal to figure out the name of the flower later on. In the meantime, she puts it in a blue vase, which rested on the windowsill of her kitchen, where whenever she cooks her food, she gives a prayer of thanks for simply being here.]

[Hey, putting a lot of extra care and love in your vegetables makes a huge difference! Saga approached his stall, and he realized his crops are the biggest than the rest of everyone else. Looks like Kojuro's efforts had paid off.]

Hello, how much are for the leeks and radishes? Are they ideal for soups?

YOU KNOW? FREEBIRD?

BUT IF I STAYED HERE WITH YOUUUUU GIRLLLL THINGS JUST COULDN'T BE THE SAME... 'CUZ I'M AS FREE AS A BIRD NOW AND THIS BIRD YOU'LL NEVER CHAAAAAANGE~~ ♪



[He pauses to see if they get it, if they don't he keeps going on for another verse. Please stop him. He'd probably have a decent singing voice if he hadn't had a few drinks in him, otherwise he sounds like a yodeling cat crawled up out of the deep south.]

Q'uila hisses as Yiazmat exercising strength to rid him of her clawed grip, tugging futilely at his grip on her hands, tugging even harder when the apparent teen said that he could feel Nidhogg.

"Normal people can't feel that! Who are you?"

She hisses at him again and her aether starts to twist and buck in her distress. "You think I'm not aware of that?!" Now that she's focusing on the mess of her aether she can feel it, the miasma she knows is Nidhogg tugging and pulling towards the teen. She grits her teeth.

"This is all I can do. I don't know how to do much else..."

She sighs, sagging slightly, "What did you mean about kittens? Do you know what might happen because I have Nidhogg?!" She's less angry now, now she just looks scared and a little haunted by the prospect, like its a scenario long worried over without answer.
richestduck: (Disapproval)

[personal profile] richestduck 2018-06-18 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Scrooge's hand reaches out quickly to grab the pail before it can spill its contents out onto the ground. He glares up at the interloper on principle.]

Just watch where you're going next time.

[No asking if she's all right or anything. He doesn't want her to take something he says as an invitation to stay.]
bloominglillie: (generic)

[personal profile] bloominglillie 2018-06-18 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh...?

[Lillie inspects it, then nods. Confused af.]

Yes, it is... But how did you get that? I haven't seen any other Pokemon here..?
bloominglillie: (Default)

[personal profile] bloominglillie 2018-06-18 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Mother...

[Lillie shakes her head, nuzzling into mom.]

No, it's... I-It's okay. It'll be okay! I know that isn't the real you. We're a family. [She whimpers,] We're a bit broken right now, b-but... But somehow...!

[It still feels hopeless. Lillie hates to say it, but she's still terrified of her mother back home. Part of her even fears good mom right now, which fills Lillie with conflicting feelings of guilt.]

I'll save you back home, I promise!

A man was handing them out at the carnival. Well... I paid for it, but it's going to hatch into something, isn't it?

[ Chara's only more intrigued by this new pet of theirs. A pokémon? A pocket monster... their very own monsters. Did their souls work the same? Could they use it? ]
bloominglillie: (casual)

[personal profile] bloominglillie 2018-06-19 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Nn-nn, it's okay. My mother taught me not to take things for granted, so.

[Lillie puts down the money for a few rounds, knowing they would need to rack up points anyway.]

Nebbie? You should say thank you. He's being really nice to help us.

[Nebby just chirps, almost laughing. They can't say human words, silly Lillie! But it's fun to try.]
bloominglillie: (nervous laugh)

[personal profile] bloominglillie 2018-06-19 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
N-No offense taken. Things back home are...

[Lillie's voice trails off. Nebby figures out that play is an option, but doesn't seem to understand how to play with others. Despite her best intentions, Lillie does limit Nebby's playdates with other Pokemon. So they just begin swaying at Absol.

Meanwhile, Lillie isn't sure how to put her feelings into words.]


... It's complicated. But Aether was built on good principles.
bloominglillie: (um)

[personal profile] bloominglillie 2018-06-19 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? Wh-What's strange? Sorry, did we do something weird?
bloominglillie: (heek!)

[personal profile] bloominglillie 2018-06-19 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Initially, Lillie yelps and almost jumps out of her skin. In contrast, Nebby seems to laugh with delight. They immediately waddle over to Q'uila, as Lillie is still catching her breath:]

Y, yeeess... I mean! We're fine. H-Headed home? I think... One way is home?

[personal profile] alloutoflove 2018-06-19 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yukizome! Nice to meet you. ♥

[ That said, she thrusts out a hand in invitation. There's still a refreshing novelty about being somewhere where she isn't recognized, and she can build her own reputation from the ground up. ]

And it wouldn't be a festival if it wasn't busy, right? As far as icebreakers go, this one's nice!
bloominglillie: (um)

[personal profile] bloominglillie 2018-06-19 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Lillie is apologetic as she rushes after Nebby. Pretty soon, she's dropped to the ground and tackled Nebby. Huff! Her Pokemon friend is such a handful!

... As she looks up, Nanu gets a confused look. She knows of him, sure, but hasn't spent much time getting to know him yet. She does know one thing for certain: Those ears aren't normal.

But how does one politely bring that up???]


Ah, um... S-Sorry. Nebby still isn't used to behaving with all of this freedom? Um? [She's staring at those ears.]
bloominglillie: (um)

[personal profile] bloominglillie 2018-06-19 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I didn't realize...

But yes. It'll hatch. Pokemon eggs need to be kept warm, and with you. I've heard it said that they enjoy traveling too? Somehow... Pokemon eggs are really mysterious.
i_am_here: (might13)

[personal profile] i_am_here 2018-06-19 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[It was the same way with Toshinori, and he shook, a little smile appearing on his face.]

Nice to meet you too. And yes, it's quite busy. I'm quite interested in how this place attracts all sorts of people.
