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

[whisted]

[Not talking isn't such a bad thing. The language of silences, even in little pockets, is frankly quite comforting in the midst of all the loud and bustle Starhue always seems to be.

There's a briefly pointed consideration after Alec speaks again, head tilting slightly from side to side. This is probably the sort of brave that a person could get used to on the fly.]

...hm.

[It's an affirmative sound, echoed briefly by an affirmative flit of an expression akin to a smile.]

[lobsterquadrille]

[he laughs a little—relieved not to be turned down. walking up to a frog wizard is one thing, but asking someone to spend more time with him than they have to… that requires another kind of bravery entirely.]

Great. We’ll have a little adventure out of it.

[he really does just look pleased as punch by this idea, already starting to look left and right, wondering which way they ought to go first.]

[whisted]

[Laughing isn't such a bad thing either. The more Horatio actually hears it, the more he's actually beginning to be certain it's even a good thing.

Brave is easier with someone else. Easier still when that person is turning into a familiar face and a familiar laugh.

Maybe that's what has him offering a nod off to the left. If it's a joint adventure, he ought to contribute more than status as a dutiful shadow, surely.]

[lobsterquadrille]

Oh, that way? [he catches the nod, momentarily lifting onto his tiptoes and craning his neck as if that could actually get him a better look down the rows of booths that line the path.] I think so. I can't entirely remember which way I came in.

[but that is neither here nor there. he waves for Horatio to follow him, and starts picking a path along the edge of the mulling crowd.

but he's too excited to like, actually stay quiet, so he looks back at Horatio to ask excitedly:] What kinds of foods do you like to eat?

[whisted]

[Horatio hadn't fully been aware that he'd missed having someone pick up readily on a total lack of oral cues. This isn't quite the same as a practical language built on years of exposure, but there's something very comforting about it all the same.

The space of quiet--and the relief of simply following, now that a direction's been picked--also helps to force the words out again.]

The fruit here. [The variety still stunned him. Of course, the variety of food generally was only newly not overwhelming.] You?
