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!

People who want to keep their CR from the test drive; you may! Your characters just arrived a little earlier than others! ]

Comments

[A world where everyone can be happy and successful... isn't that the world he wanted to build long ago, before Martel died? Before everyone had fallen into despair, and he found himself following Yuan blindly out of both grief and rage, just for a chance to see his sister again? Much like with Lloyd, Mithos sees a chance for this 'Munakata-kun' to be everything he couldn't.]

I'm sure he can do it. [He's not actually sure, but he wants to believe. He wants to grasp onto some scrap of what he used to wholeheartedly believe -- that someone could make a difference. Even if he failed, even if he's a tad envious of the fact that others could succeed when he couldn't, he wants to encourage it.] Just keep believing in him, even as the two of you get your lives together. And be careful -- don't let anything happen to him, and don't let anything happen to you.

[Part of him hates that he feels obligated to tack that last bit on, but he knows what can happen when even the most idealistic of people loses someone close.]

[alloutoflove]

--Ah...

[ She smiles reflexively at that, though it's a more awkward one than anything: the smile of someone who is trying very hard to cover up something uncomfortable, and failing badly. She's got a whole range of smiles like this, and usually she's better about it around strangers, but... whew.

Don't let anything happen to him, or to herself, huh... a few years ago, that could have been advice she would have taken wholeheartedly, as overly confident as any student of Hope's Peak would be. Of course not! she could have said. Nothing could ever happen to Munakata-kun, or to me!

Now, though, she has to refrain from saying something like Too late. ]

W, well... we're doing our best for that. You know. Neither of us want anything bad to happen either! Especially after the past few years.

[ A compromise! Nailed it. ]

[decoyofahero]

[He knows that kind of smile all too well. It's the smile that always graced Colette's face when she was trying too hard to hide the fact that she wasn't as okay as she tried to make herself out to be. It's the smile his sister always gave when she was doing the same.

He doesn't call Chisa out for it, even when she gives a reply that's clearly compromising instead of assuring. He doesn't know her well enough to want to press the issue too much.]

I see. Well, just keep doing your best, then.

[alloutoflove]

Of course!

[ It's a little too bright, a little too fast. Awkward. The downside (upside?) to being pretty transparent about her worse moods is knowing that very few people have ever not seen through it. ]

We've had help, too... we still have it! So we're in the best possible position for that.

[decoyofahero]

That's good to hear.

[He pauses, feeling awkward. Now what? He's been talking to her for a while, so maybe he should introduce himself? Even if he's cautious, there's no harm in just giving her his name.]

My name's Mithos, by the way. It's nice to meet you.

[alloutoflove]

Ah, I'm Yukizome! Yukizome Chisa.

[ She doesn't hesitate in the response. Her name is easy enough, and she likes to be recognized where she can. Once she says her name, she offers her hand as well. ]

It's nice to meet you too!

[decoyofahero]

[He takes her hand, giving it a light shake.]

Chisa. That's a nice name. [The remark comes out a little awkward, but it's sincere.]
