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 Stardrop Celebration!
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! ]

[ Taako rolls his eyes. ] I could walk right up to that thing and toss in a bunch of weeds and their governor would still have to eat it. No quality control at all. You can't just walk up to a savory soup and toss in a peach, that's immoral.
[ Amidst the drunk rambling, Taako's gotta tell him that he's... well, Taako. That's like the most important part of Taako's day. ]
The name's Taako Taaco. You may have heard of me? Who are you.
OMG this got so long sorry.
[He takes his beer and drinks while Taako is talking, nodding along.]
We kinda did something like at graduation. Just, with like, a ton of booze. And fruit, you know, normal. But then some fucker put garlic in it? Like, what the heck!
[He sips.]
Still drank it all though. I don't remember a lot between that and moveout.
[It's easy to anecdote about college and still come off cocky. They all went to the same school, right?]
[Right, introductions. Timothy rubs his top lip, but plays it off as an itch. Not a sudden nervous tic.]
Oh right, duh, I'm T... I'm... Taco? Seriously?
[Nice save, Timothy.]
I mean, not in like a rude way. Shit, do you remember Choco-Tacos?
[Yeah he's uh, he's gonna just swig the rest of this beer. He puts his own money up, and buys them both a drink himself this time. Play it cool.]
It's Jack. I'm Jack.
no subject
Taako, y'know, with a 'K'. And two Aa's, and no, I don't have a relative called Choco.
[ He's a little tipsy to fully understand the question, but he assumes that he meant 'do you KNOW' Choco Taco, because finding out what tacos are would be way too easy of a solution to his character arc. I mean, come on. ]
Jack, huh... Jack Daniels?
[ HA. Time to make fun of his name in referring to some branded food item! ]
no subject
[He's making a joke, Timothy. Wow. He actually cracks up, taking a drink of his new beer and wiping his mouth.]
[Timothy laughs out loud at Taako's next joke though, because his name isn't actually Jack and he hasn't heard that one yet. In reality, Jack would probably get irritated, but Timothy is genuinely giggling.]
Fuck-- yeah, all right, if you want. Food names for everybody.
no subject
Dude... bet you can't win that neon green gorilla before me. [ He points it out, and truly, its hideous. ]
How much of a crack shot are you? [ He's already tossing a few coins down. ]
no subject
I'm a pretty good shot. Not the best, that'd be Nish' back home, but... I bet I can do it.
[Confidence is easy. Marksmanship while drunk is not.]
no subject
[ He throws some coins down on the table and takes up a rifle... before immediately setting it back down. ]
[ He takes out an umbrella instead. ]
No worries, my carnie dude. I brought my own.
no subject
[That makes Timothy laugh aloud again, hanging back to take a swig of his beer.]
Ladies first.
[Timothy's not that dumb, it's seriously just a joke. Haha, funny.]
no subject
Taako's umbrella tip sends out a blast of energy directed toward the target, completely eviscerating and burning up the piece of paper. ]
One neon green gorilla, please...!
[ The carnie stares in shock before hooking it down. He's not sure there's even police here, and he doesn't want to piss off the elf any more than he could. ]
Magic. [ A wink. ] Hot shit.
no subject
[It's not disgust, it's awe. Timothy is grinning ear to ear.]
Put the target up again, I wanna go.
[The poor guy just nods, shuffling around to put the next unbroken target up and before he can hand Tim the plastic rifle, he pulls out his own freakin' shotgun from behind his back and blasts it one handed.... but misses and shoots out the back of the tarp behind it.]
Awww man, shit... Heck, one second.
[He throws another handful of change down. This time he aims with his left hand steadying the gun (the carnie ducks under the table) and fires. That time, it hit dead on the target and Timothy lets out a whoop.]
That's what I'm talkin' about! Gimme the big bear.
