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

[oftaintedearth]

[Mela lifts her head at the voice muttering to himself. The human approaching her is clearly lost and not paying attention, and about to walk right into her. She raises an eyebrow, simply raising a hand to catch his head before he collides.]

Hello.

[ubiquitously]

[Now, to be fair, Uai should not be a stranger to the idea of girls who look like trees. None of this should be strange to him. He's someone who travels between worlds frequently and has seen his fair share of lifeforms.

That said:

He screams in surprise when Mela speaks up.]

AH---- uuuugh, who-- [He stumbles back, flustered and embarrassed. First by his reaction, then by needing help.] Sorry! I didn't even think the trees might be people here!

[oftaintedearth]

[Well, not a completely unexpected response. She looks amused at his embarrassment though, seemingly completely unphased by the intrusion and near collision.]

That's alright. I haven't met any other dryad here myself.

Are you lost?

[ubiquitously]

[Uai looks from her to his map, then lies right to her face:]

No, I'm fine. I know where I'm going. Just exploring.

Dryad, huh... Guessing this farming thing is right up your alley, then?

[oftaintedearth]

[The dryad simply raises an eyebrow, clearly not believing that answer.]

Hm, yes, I suppose it is. This plot really let itself go, we could both use each others' company, I think.

You know, I haven't really explored the town fully myself. Perhaps I could accompany you?

((OOC: Fun fact; as part of deciding her reaction, I actually rolled an insight check for Mela and she got a 24. She's got a pretty crazy insight lmao))

[ubiquitously]

[He feels kind of figured out. If he's guiding her around, he'll have to actually be competent with reading the map... Dangit.]

Ahhh, I mean... Sure, yeah. Sounds great.

[He's going to get them both lost!] And yeah. The farm plots sure are messy. It's going to take weeks just to clear them out, huh?

[oftaintedearth]

I suppose it would, but I believe it's all in determining where to spend your energy. There's no harm in leaving the land be as much as possible, is there?

[Now that she's walking alongside Uai, she has the chance to look at the map he's been carrying and the sorry shape it's in.] Oh? What happened there?

[Still playing totally innocent, no need to call him on it.]

[ubiquitously]

[He shrugs,] That's true. Some plants need shade anyway, so having some trees already established is a blessing.

[When she brings up the map... Uai crumples it up and causes it to vanish between two spaces, essentially causing it to disappear.]

I was just cleaning up some litter. [embarrassed lies.]
