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

[rosed]

Seventeen?! The universe's only hope!

[ That's BABY YEARS. Immediately Rose pats his shoulder, feeling sorry for this little child who's already gone off to war! ]

You get in all the vacation time you need, young man. I hear time moves here but stops in your world before you move on, so... don't be afraid to grow up a little while you're waiting.

[the_tailor]

[Amusingly enough, that hand on his shoulder, those words, that tone of comfort... Huh. Kind of reminds him of his mom. And he can't help but smile more at that.]

I mean to. It's a great place to catch up on lost time. Plus, some of my friends are here, so we can actually do something peaceful and fun!

[rosed]

Exactly! And it doesn't have to be peaceful, either, you know!

[ There's a typical Cool Mom wink thrown in there, before she goes back to her serene self. ]

I envy that. Having young years to get up to all the trouble you want to... that's something no one should take from you, ever!

[the_tailor]

[Lance gives a laugh at that-- Thinking about him and the others...]

Alright, yeah, I'd be lying if my teammates and I didn't get up to all kinds of trouble. Thanks, though, seriously. After all this time, hearing someone say that is a breath of fresh air.

[Another smile.]

Anyway, uh, I haven't introduced myself! My name is Lance.

[rosed]

I'm Rose Quartz, but just... Rose will do.

[ She holds out a hand for his to shake. ]

I know what you mean... the Crystal Gems and I got into a lot of trouble over the years. It was fun-- even if there were only two left... [ She leans on her knees. ] I miss the rest.

[the_tailor]

Rose. That's a beautiful name.

[He takes it, shaking it.]

Crystal Gems? Is that your own team?

[That last part, though... Now doesn't that sound familiar.]

Back home, the princess and Coran...part of our team, they were the last two of their race. Can only imagine how sucky it feels. Er, sorry for the casualness of that, but...you know.
