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!

Comments

[ Theo grins, even as the term 'Western' is all but lost on him. Oh no, now he's going to start talking about his family's long, proud military history. Please don't ask too many questions or he'll never stop. ] Yeah, I'm a soldier. Practically everyone in the family is, including Grandma Ceci. Not much fighting going on though, at least not in this generation — we're still rebuilding from the last war. That one was the nasty piece of work.

[ Fortunately he takes a hold of himself; or maybe he's just eager to get drinking. ] When you speak of it that way, farming does sound quite interesting. Guess I should use my time here to learn the ropes. Not much farmland in our area, but maybe further north...

So what do you do, exactly, that it takes up so much of your time?

[righteyed]

[They're both started on topics that they love, apparently; when asked about what he does, Kojuro lets that sweep away anything else he might have replied to, expression warming into something unguarded and peaceful.

(He'll get back into rebuilding after war in a second, okay. He's just. The biggest dad. If he had a wallet, it would be full of pictures.)]

I...am my lord's retainer, to put it simply. I must tend to his needs, assist him with tactics, and protect his back. I vowed to be as his lost right eye, so that he would never know any blind spot.

Hittou is only young, but he is formidable, and shows much promise even now. I will exist only to further his successes and help him through his losses. I will ensure that Oshuu knows how its lord lives and breathes to protect its people, by living and b--

Ah. Apologies. No one wishes to hear of something as simple as duty. [He turns red so swiftly and thoroughly that even the tips of his ears are burning up, and busies himself with trying to fix his yukata. Don't Judge Him Okay He Loves Masamune So Fucking Much.]

[sonofdawn]

[ Oh, but this kid understands duty. It practically runs in his blood. Glyphians are notorious for their love of country, even if that kingdom has long been destroyed and wiped off the map. And his family, in particular, more so.

He looks at Kojuro admiringly, his respect for the older man shooting up a hundredfold.

Then he laughs at the 'simple' comment. ] Duty, simple? I wish.

Have you been in a lot of battles?

[righteyed]

[This is why they're going to get along so well, obviously; although Kojuro was definitely wild when he was younger, his life has been promised away for him, and there is no greater thing than his service.

For what it's worth, he's...Grateful, that Theo indulged his prattling on, even for that much. He even smiles, and for a reason not related to Masamune.]

Simple as breathing, most times. But I have years of it ahead of you, and you will find it more of a reflex before long. Just as being in battle, really.

...Which, yes. I've been in a few in my time. Have they always been successful campaigns? No, but I have lived, and we have slowly reduced our casualties as Hittou gained experience and maturity. I find this to be the most important thing.
