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

[idealisticartist]

You could predict your own world easily? [Jeb doesn't sound weirded out, but instead curious. Such is the way of someone who doesn't shy away from the differences in others and their worlds, but instead embraces them.] I guess this place being so different really would be appealing, then! Being able to experience new things is really fun, isn't it?

[genosider]

When you've been around it for as long as I have... I can read the reactions of everyone there. But here, I can't. I can't tell what a single person will do.

[ Remarkably honest, for Chara at least. ]

It is. I just lost a power along the way, but that makes it more exciting. [ and less likely for Chara to go genocidal. ]

[idealisticartist]

I can't imagine what that would be like. Being able to read the reactions of everyone around me, I mean. [Sure, some people he knows are a little predictable, but that's because he knows them.]

As long as you aren't upset about losing the power, I guess! [He laughs softly.] But the variety of things you might face because you don't know what's going to happen next, when you're so used to knowing... I can see why that would be exciting, yes. Unpredictability can be scary, but I think it also adds more color to the world in a way.

[genosider]

I think so, too. But I think it also means I have to be very careful.

No more experimenting.

[ whatever THAT means ]

[idealisticartist]

...experimenting? [He asks this without thinking, then looks away in embarrassment once he realizes what he's done.] Mn, I'm sorry. I really shouldn't pry like that.

[genosider]

No, by all means. Tell me, what would you do if the world around you reset over and over again, with nobody remembering you?

[idealisticartist]

[That sure is a heavy question to come from a child. It makes Jeb stop in his tracks for a moment.]

I think it would hurt for a little while, not being remembered. But... I'd still want to be there for the people around me, and help them as much as I possibly could. The pain of not being remembered ultimately wouldn't matter if I could do that much, and even if I kept being forgotten with every reset... well, I remember, right? My memories of them would be enough for me.

[It's not as if he hasn't experienced not being remembered by someone he knew, even if it's been to a much less extreme degree. People would leave Luceti only to return with no memories, and even being kidnapped by the Malnosso for a while could result in being returned in a younger state, essentially "reset" to an extent, like what happened with Mithos.]

[genosider]

Hm.

[ Chara ponders that , how much information they're not giving in return. What it's like to only take control after things have veered so southward that it aligns with their interests. Seeing happy ends, bad ends, good and terrible things alike. Their gaze is distant for a long time, before they simply smile at Jeb. ]

I think when you put that scenario into play, it's a little different. But I appreciate a new perspective.

[idealisticartist]

Different? How so? [Despite the question, he smiles back at Chara.] I'm glad I could give you a new perspective, at least.

[Jeb does get the sense that there's a lot about this scenario Chara's presented that he doesn't know about, but he'd rather they tell him on their own terms than pry any further than his own question.]
