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!

Comments

[hellish_butler]

Chara is such a strange child. Sebastian didn't make a comment as she plays, just watching her quietly. However, the stuffed animals are...well, cute not really the colors don't really match to his tastes, but they're not really his thing.

He takes one graciously. "For me? Thank you. You're quite good at this, Chara." Though games like this...he thinks gaming will rot the brain.

When Chara ran out of money to play the game, he handed her gold, just enough to play some more rounds. "Here, this is for you. For helping me on my farm the other day. It's for you if you wanted to play other games." Or get a snack, candy, and a soda from a vendor once she gets hungry. Kids need their sugar, right?

[genosider]

"Hmm? More money..."

Chara hadn't expected to be paid so soon. Either way, they turn away from the game and heft the prize bag over their shoulder, just barely keeping it from scraping the ground. They turn a careful eye towards Sebastian as they pocket the gold.

"Something to eat might be nice. There's a vendor I ... recognize, here."

[hellish_butler]

Well, he decides to accompany her. After all, being an observant butler and demon, he has an intuition that she's more than she looks. Still, playing along now.

"Oh? What kind of food caught your eye? You can't have too many sweets after all. In fact, I'm thinking of getting mozzarella corn cakes, they're sweet and cheesy. Those fried cakes or donuts look good. Or if it's too hot, then maybe ice cream or a slushie maybe to your liking."

With a shrug, it's a colorful night where the vendor have food and dolls. The gaming vendors offer prizes to be won or for sale. "Just suggesting. Choose what you like."

[genosider]

"Something with chocolate." Chara decides automatically, as if there were no debate in the first place.

It's not long before Chara uncovers a vendor selling deep fried chocolate bars, which is basically any kid's dream come true. If someone doesn't keep an eye on them, Chara is likely to go overboard on all the sweets here to try. Too bad there's no chocolate-dipped souls to their liking.

"..."

It takes them a minute, but.

"Why are you coming with me?" The fact that they're eleven years old and unaccompanied is lost on Chara.

[hellish_butler]

Chara doesn't have to worry. The only person who is with them is the mysterious tall man with short raven hair and wearing a butler suit. The deep fried chocolate bars actually looks good, so Sebastian helped himself to one also. He goes easy with the sweets, letting them have as much as she wants, and allow them to be...just themself.

"I don't see why not. Unless you wanted me to guide you back to your parents. Are they here with you?"

[genosider]

"They're dead."

Chara says it simply, having moved on from the situation a long time ago. Somewhere with them, they have a stray soul in their belongings and a world that had long since been abandoned. Their parents are dust now, in a world that only exists in theory.

One might pin Chara as lonely, but not so. Not any longer.

"So I'm on my own."

[hellish_butler]

"...oh." An orphan. He had seen plenty of that back home in England. Urchins who wandered the slums and they found work in factories or selling whatever they can on the streets to make ends meet.

"On your own..." He said. "That's difficult, even at your age. You're too young to be on your own. Where would you stay after the festival is over? The inn?"

[genosider]

"I'm staying in my little house on my farm."

Chara says it cheerfully, like it's an ideal. A nice thing to have offered to them. They never actually imagined going back to a child-like life after dying. They'd matured since then. They didn't think that anyone would really care, either.
