STARDROP CELEBRATION: FINAL DAY
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 Stardrop Celebration!
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! ]

[ An idea hits her! ] Could I trade you some vegetables for it? I've been growing hot peppers since last week, and I'll give you the best of what I have to cover the other 500!
no subject
I am sorry, but I do not like peppers ... are you growing anything else?
no subject
[ She tilts her head. ] And I've harvested a lot of grapes around the area.
no subject
I do not mind waiting for the melons. Or ... if there is a story you would be willing to tell, I will accept that.
no subject
[ She clears her throat. Which one, though...? Her own is not full of happy memories, but... ]
Once, there was a woman who wanted to save the world.
However, to save the world, you can't play nice about it. Heroism, as it is, is noble but also difficult to wield, because many things will stop a noble person.
This woman wasn't very noble at all. From a young age, her magic tool to predict the consequences of actions was put to use. She foresaw her immediate seizing from a major criminal syndicate, and decided to play hide and seek with them for a long time, before voluntarily walking into their lair, willingly joining their ranks in order to dismantle it secretly from the inside. Along the way, she fell in love with a man. This was very difficult for her, because love, when you can see all possible outcomes, is rather boring.
But she did, anyway. The man was chaotic, and you can't predict chaos.
Eventually, she had to hide herself away to have a baby. Leaving it in... protective care, she went off to go about her plans. But the roulette she had chosen had bad news for her. Falling in love wasn't part of the plan, and this man was a liability. In the end, she either had to choose to save him by dying after being caught by the organization, getting wise to her crimes, or save herself and her child by disappearing into the night while these same men tortured and killed her husband.
She chose to die. But she left a hint behind for her husband. Where their child was, where to find her. He wouldn't find the note until ten years later, just as she predicted.
And he did. And he and his child lived happily ever after.
[ A brief pause. ] The... end.
no subject
[ but her tone is more knowing than genuinely questioning, and even as she asks she's already picking up the green and white crown to offer it over. ]
no subject
[ She looks so bashful. ]
no subject
It was a rhetorical question ... mostly.
