LET'S PARTY!

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! ]

Comments

[innoxious]

[ She smiles, glad that he's still talking to her even with her obvious disability. Some people just wouldn't bother, simply shuffling away. She nods in answer to his question, then she brings one hand down to just below her hip, palm facing downwards. ]

Childhood. [ Then she adds, also miming as she mouths: ] Archery. You?

[sweetlies]

[It takes him a little bit, again. And lets out a soft sigh. He wishes he could understand those gestures.]

Apologies, I'm afraid I'm slow. [He imitates the words himself, it's a little easier to catch the meaning then.]

Ah, a few months. Perhaps? I was very strictly trained when I inherited my title so I needed to learn to use a gun quickly.

[innoxious]

[ Catching his sigh, she smiles sheepishly. This is why she's always been hesitant to interact with others — she doesn't want to be a burden, doesn't want to be an inconvenience. ] It's okay. I'm sorry.

[ Then she sees something out of the corner of her eye, and when she turns to look at the stranger taking pictures on his jpad, her face brightens. The communicator, of course! Typing would take more time, but there's less room for misunderstanding there. Although she's left her jpad back at her farm, thinking she wouldn't need it...

She tilts her head towards the stranger, then makes a series of gestures: something like a square, and moving fingers. It would be easier to just point at the dude, really, but she's been taught that pointing was rude. ]

[sweetlies]

[Once he catches that, he shakes his head.] No. No, you have nothing to apologize for.

[He turns his head to follow her gaze and then looks back to her gestures, face shifting into recognition. Of course! Why hadn't he thought of something like that?

The teen slips his pack from his shoulder and opens it, pulling his Jpad out and handing it to her.]

[innoxious]

[ She takes the jpad gratefully, with a small bow of her head. She frowns for a bit as she searches for the messaging app — wow, this device has so many features — then, finally finding it, types in a couple of short sentences. ]

Thank you, sir. Sorry, left my device.

I'm Fia. I can't speak.

You're very skilled.

[sweetlies]

[Ciel's grateful for the fact that Riverview helped him adjust to devices like this one. If it hadn't been for that, the Victorian would be absolutely lost with most of the technology here.]

It's alright. Luckily, I kept mine with me. [He's also very likely to keep his with him often anyway.]

Pleased to meet you, Fia. My name is Ciel.

[A little smile:] My teacher was very strict when I first learned to shoot.
