STARDROP CELEBRATION: FINAL DAY

[starhuemod]

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!

#themoeiconstruggle2k18 let us have CUTE ICONS

[righteyed]

[Is that the secret, maybe? That they're two kind of...bad at socialising sorts? No judgement and all? Maybe, but he doesn't voice that thought at all. That'd just be extra awkward...

Like walking arm in arm around a festival with a lady whose cat familiar you just fed a live fish to isn't awkward. (Surprisingly it isn't but whatever the point is there okay.)]

Ah, I understand. I didn't take it as disinterest, if that means anything; more that I was worried about being uninteresting, given that my only hobby is still seen as work by most. And talking about farming at a festival, when we want meat over vegetables at the moment...Just seems to be a poor choice of topic, as far as interesting goes.

You don't drink sake, by any chance? [That's his only other passion in life that isn't his job as babysitter.]

heck yeah! all the icons!

[shadowfrost]

[ Sake. Sake? She's heard that before, she thinks. It's not anything she's imbibed in personally, as she would've remembered any kind of drink that sounded like that, but didn't Ayano say something about it once? She can't recall. ]

I don't think I've had any before. Is it alcoholic? If so, I might've had something similar.

[righteyed]

It absolutely is; a rice wine from my homeland, though I have found that it's sold here as well. Though it can be strong, so I would not dare to push you into drinking more than you would like, if you are unsure.

[...Of course Kojuro perks up a little now that he's found a positive note. Barbeque, then sake! That's his sort of night out hell yes. And he's even found the barbeque stand, if the way that he twirls them around in a slow little circle before powering on over to said stall is anything to go by.

Something something man's heart through his stomach something, right?] I know where our next stop is, then. But our first is here.

[shadowfrost]

[ Rice wine, huh? That doesn't sound too bad. Now that she thinks about it, she wonders if that's what the drink at the different hot springs in Carnava was? Oh well, doesn't matter now.

What does matter now is that Josie's realized they're at the barbeque stand and is already eyeing up everything on display. Up close, the smell of it is enough to make her own mouth water, and wine and grilled meat sounds just about heavenly now. ]

So it is.

"I want three rib racks!"

...isn't that excessive, Josie?

[righteyed]

[It's almost like...Walking with a friend and her very enthusiastic and hungry kid, really. Kind of reminiscent of his younger days, trying to drag Bontenmaru from the food stalls so he'd come in and do his schooling (except he wasn't as hot as Fatima as a punkass kid, though Bontenmaru...On par with Josie for cuteness.)

He snorts softly and reaches into his yukata for that coin purse of his, gently jostling the fish sack a little, and pulling it out! It's getting lighter, but...He'll farm. It's okay. It's fine.]

Festivals are a time for celebration and excess, are they not? A time to be alive and enjoy yourself...So! Mr. Vendor, seven rib racks please. My treat. [KOJURO DUDE THAT'S PRICEY...RIP his bank account. At least he's a damn fine farmer, but still. Whew.]

[shadowfrost]

"Seven! That's incredible, meow!"

[ While Josie's bug-eyed and slack-jawed in a way that's downright cartoonish, Fatima is equally taken aback, but at least she manages to keep her mouth shut. Her grip on his sleeve even tightens a bit as if the thought of how much that costs wounds her. ]

I-If you insist. That's generous of you...thank you.

[ While the witch is still in shock, Josie's recovered quickly enough to grin all the way to his ears again. ]

"Thank you, meow!"

[righteyed]

Ah-ah-ah. Excess to moderation, all the same.

[That is to say, once the ribs are duly doled out into serves, Kojuro gives Josie three. Only three. Then two get waggled at Fatima with a warm, faint smile; he can feel her grip gently tugging, and maybe this'll help her ease up? Or maybe not. The point remains that these are now hers.]

We are all enjoying our boons while the gods give us such a time to do so. And I definitely would not eat in front of new friends and not share, so here we are.
