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

[skyknightone]

[Her stance relaxing even a bit was something of a relief, and her change in expression brings something similar to his lips.]

Unless you want to do it for dramatic flair, for some reason.

Though I admit, this is the first time I've ever seen Josie.

[shadowfrost]

[ Having recovered from the awkward silence fallen over him, Josie shakes one little paw in Manfred's direction. ]

"Of course this is the first time you've seen meow! I'd remember a face like that, meow!"

[ Yeah, Fatima's gonna take a backseat on this one. Not that there's anything wrong with Manfred's face, but Josie's little outburst has her trying not to chortle over there. ]

[skyknightone]

[That pulls a laugh from the pilot, in surprisingly good humor. Josie's jab seemingly bounced right off him.]

Good to know you recognize a handsome face when you see it.

[There's just enough self awareness in the comeback that it's easy to tell he's not completely serious about it.]

Anyway, it's nice to finally meet you as well.

[shadowfrost]

[ Josie wasn't expecting that, so he's speechless as he tries to think up a rebuttal. He comes up with a whole lot of nothing, though, so he sticks to just growling as an angry cat would. ]

"You're annoying, meow!"

You walked right into it. [ Fatima's quip has the cat pouting the best he can with a feline face. ]

"Nooo!"

[skyknightone]

[His smile doesn't fade in the least, seeing that he knocked the poor cat off balance. Still, for his part, he held no ill-will to Josie. Yet, anyway. He just figured that like most cats, it'd take awhile to get to know him. Besides, it's not like he hadn't handled worse tempers as a mercenary, anyway.]

Yeah, I get that a lot. Also the whole "I would've gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling mercenaries" thing too.

[shadowfrost]

[ Fatima offers a flippant shrug as she turns her gaze upward to the fireworks. ]

It's a mercenary's job to meddle.

[ Josie's taken to full on pouting, and he floats away as Fatima drops her arms from her chest. As baffling as their talk has been, she can tell when Josie's getting ready to go home, if their little house can be called such. ]

Well, Manfred Vaeris... [ She casts her gaze over to Manfred again. ] Remember to stay away from the trees at night. It's safe near town, but I've had to fight more than a few monsters here and there.

[skyknightone]

[In plenty of ways, she was right. And the easy way she accepted what he did for a living was a relief as well.]

Thanks again for the warning, I appreciate it. I'll keep my distance from the woods. Give me a call if you ever need a hand with something. I'll be there.

[shadowfrost]

[ IF anything, her being a vigilante means she can't throw stones at all. ]

That's very kind of you, thank you.

[skyknightone]

Any time. I'll be at the Shepard's Landing farm. Take care of yourself. Be seeing you around?

[shadowfrost]

Perhaps so. It's certainly a small enough town.

[ Awkward as their first meeting has been, she can't say it's been bad enough that she would hate seeing him again. ]
