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 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 know who else isn't great at parties? this guy.

he's a scrawny thing, dressed in plain clothing and a large coat that looks a couple of sizes too big for him. while the festivities were initially very entertaining, now he's found himself rather lost, and everything he's seeing is becoming a little overwhelming. the colors are too bright, the people are confusing, his head hurts...

and he can't really remember how long he's been here, or how he got here in the first place--which is making him increasingly anxious. he's so distracted, doubting his own reality, that he runs right into someone as he's looking the complete other direction.

he startles, stumbling back a step. she can barely get out an apology before he, too, starts apologizing.]


Oh, I'm so sorry, are you--?

I'm fine! There are absolutely no worries here!

[ She had a tendency to fill up her vocabulary while she was nervous, so with a half hearted salute, she wanted to prove she was 'absolutely, beyond a doubt' fine. Then, when the act was too hard to keep up, she heaved a nervous sigh. Despite her new dress and flower crown, she looks like she doesn't like it here.

Which isn't quite the truth, this is the dream happy ending for her and her father. It's just that it happens to be very scary to transfer yourself across universes, and some people are content to not be a part of something bigger than themselves. ]


... not liking it either? [ She peeps up. ]

[Alec was much the same way, so hearing so many words of assurance is actually very reassuring. he also sighs, gathering himself and pulling his large coat closer in around himself for security.

he looks a little surprised--but relieved--by her question.]


It's all right, I just... [he bites his lip a little, glancing around.] There's a lot. All of it is... a lot.
tonic: ('Cause it's about to go down.)

[personal profile] tonic 2018-06-17 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Right? There's so much.

[ She practically wails it, dragging her hands down her face. ] I don't know how to deal with too much! Home was already so much!

[he flinches a little, with the near-wailing, but doesn't shy away otherwise. in fact, she gets a very sympathetic look from him as he starts nodding.]

Quite a lot, honestly. Are you-- [he looks around her a little, trying to see what she was doing before he bumped into her.] Were you going somewhere?
tonic: (and it's a long way forward)

[personal profile] tonic 2018-06-18 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I was going to look at the food... [ She looks at a meager pile of gold coins in her palm. ]

Do. Do you want to come with?
lobsterquadrille: (♠ talk of many things)

[personal profile] lobsterquadrille 2018-06-19 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Could I...?

[he's less asking permission and more asking the universe at large if that's a thing he can actually do.]

Would that be alright?

[he frowns a little, worried. he doesn't want to creep in on your time, stranger!]
tonic: (motha fuckin bullies better watch their)

[personal profile] tonic 2018-06-20 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Please! I'd appreciate the company.

[ Read: Please don't leave me alone with all these people around ahhhhh. ]

O-Oh! [he seems genuinely surprised--but he quickly nods.] Then yes, I'll go with you.

[he takes a couple of quick steps to stand next to her rather than across from her, so it looks like they are two friends doing a thing together and not two strangers with no idea what's going on!]

Perhaps with two of us, I won't get bumped into as much... [ :( ]
