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. ]

In the meanwhile, the demon figured the valley isn't a bad place for Ciel to live in. If anything, the rustic countryside provided rest and respite, and it's a good environment and with clean air for recovery. London has poor air as it is.

"You are lucky. Luck is a skill too." He remarked and smile at the Young Master's reaction. Money acquiring is never a problem to the demon. "I learned that humans earned their luck and miracles if they are open and give it a chance, and if they are determined, they will obtain what they wish for, even if the odds and favour is against them."

With a nod, "A good choice. Any shooting games will help exercise your coordination. It requires a lot of focus, which you can practice on."

With a simple bow, "I'll be honored if you win it for me. But I am a humble servant, live only to serve you and stay by your side." He noticed other plush dolls available lined up in a row as well, a rabbit one. "All right, if you win that cat plush, I'll get a doll for you to return in kind. I think that will be fair."

He wouldn't be wrong. Clean as the air in Riverview was, it felt different breathing there than it had so far in this new place. He also had his inhaler tucked safely away in his bag, though it should probably be somewhere more accessible.

"I've always preferred earning everything than relying on simple luck. It feels far more satisfying that way." Be able to stand on his own two feet, it had been good for him over the past five years. Even if he had help in Riverview and London, he'd had the drive to start or finish a lot of those endeavors.

As right as Sebastian is, just thinking about 'exercising his condition' makes him feel tired. Especially with how recent his surgery had been. It would still be a month before he could be considered healed enough for a false eye.

"Servant... I'm not sure that would be looked upon too kindly here." He gave a thought to the doll in his bag but... he wouldn't object to another. Not right then. He could call it quality research or something. "That seems like a fair trade. So long as you don't cheat or anything."

Sebastian didn't quite understand human sickness, but he knew it made humans all the frail. He had learned to watch for Ciel's asthma attacks and be kinder and gentler to him, as each attack can make him weak and even fatal and bedridden. But so far, there are no asthma attacks for the last few years up to the butler's knowledge and it went into remission.

"Earning means working your way through effort and strength. But I think you have quite a lot of that. After all, you're still young and have many years to go." Sebastian wanted to remind Ciel he has plenty of years to enjoy. After all, he's 13 about to be 14? He'll wait. Human lifespan to him is like a blink of an eye.

"It's part of the contract. But if you think it's not too kind, just call me your butler." He said, and then with a smile. "No cheating, I promise."

Eventually, the dolls were won, and the both of them have one of each for other. The games are too easy, though Ciel might need more effort on his part. A rabbit for Ciel and a black cat for Sebastian.

"For this doll, I thank you kindly. It was...cute and well-made." That's the right word for it. And it would be something for Sebastian to put in his room in his house once they returned home.

Many years to go, huh? He'd actually never really counted on living a long time. His revenge could have taken anything between a few months to a few years, but a long life? That wasn't something he really thought he'd have or deserve, back home.

He did count himself almost sixteen though. Even if time was a bit confusing with his travel between worlds. Maybe he was barely fifteen?

"I may have to endure criticism at keeping a servant." And while that wouldn't have bothered him back in England... "I was rather independent in Riverview Quarantine. It feels... odd, to have a servant again."

It worked. He couldn't help a little smile at the bunny, reaching to flop its ears about. Funtom did better, but he couldn't help his own personal bias.

"It was fun."
