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! ]

"..." He thought about it in deep thought. "Because you're not a full vampire yet. In order to become one, either you drink the blood of a human who willingly give their life to you...which is different than the one you hunted on."
Looking at her eyes, still blues. "Part of you is still human and that's why food hardly sit well in your stomach. What they gave you is an injection of what little they have, and it was a copy. Yet, a part of you died in order to complete the transfusion."
Walking through the aisle now, wondering what kind of prizes of dolls and plushies caught her eye that will determine the choice of a game. "For now you're still incomplete and that snack in your stomach won't stay for long. You require blood. My blood."
Which was why he didn't complete her yet and have her partake in the ritual of completing her vampirism. Yet, here he is, the original progenitor of his bloodline, and her vampirism is a cheap copy of his part that was stolen centuries ago by her organization, when they robbed Mina from her tomb, when Mina carried his curse in her dead veins, and they replicated it, cheap imitation that Rip could ever hope to be.
"But I wonder if you can handle such power Rip? Do you think you're ready to become one with me for eternity?"
no subject
But, she'd worry about that after she had space for them.
In the meantime, she had him to focus on as they walked. She listened and his words made sense and in turn made her feel self-conscious about the fact that yes, she knew she was an imperfect copy of what he was. It bothered her after she survived the attack on London and still bothered her to this day.
It didn't escape her that the only reason she was 'functioning' as a vampire was because of him and his blood. Because of how they were connected now. Rip glanced away from him and towards the prizes of some of the games. Some barely caught her attention...though some? Like some of the larger stuffed animal prizes? Those caught her attention. Especially a large black bear with a red bow around his neck. She lingered before the game, a ring toss of all things and then started to move on.
When he posed the question to her, she glanced towards him and then away, focusing more on the path ahead as a faint blush graced her cheeks. "Vhen you put it like zhat, it almost sounds like a marriage proposal." Even though she knew it wasn't that in any form. But it did give her something to give on. Could she handle having powers similar to him or Seras?
Rip knew she was getting better at her self control and controlling herself since they arrived and since he took her in. but, she still wasn't sure if it was his influence or her just...stabilizing somehow.
no subject
"Do you think it was? Well...not yet." He teased, though now that she word it, it gave him ideas. They walked together further down, to see if there is anything else caught their eye.
"To become a full fledge vampire, either you find a willing human partner to give their blood to you or have me willingl to give you my blood and make it a special ceremony. The route will be the same."
But then on a more solemn note. "...unless you're willing to forgive me for having to kill you on that day. Then I'll think about it. That proposal. But being tied forever to me means a reminder that I am forever your Death...and if my presence serves you as that reminder that I wouldn't mind if you rather another mate."
He's giving her a chance. Plenty of chances and openings for her to walk out on him, running away from him, and letting her go unharmed.
"After all, I gave you nightmares every night. That's was why I was thinking of us living in separate houses. After all, you're a wild creature when I found you in the rainforests and you're completely terrified of me. I wouldn't think we'll be able to live together or even sharing the same bed."
no subject
The memories and nightmares of that night have haunted her for so long, driving her to endless sleepless days and nights. Driving her to be the wild creature he found. In part anyway. But, Rip was confused by this side of him. It conflicted heavily with the brutal murder she remembered and that confusion was eating away at her fear of him.
Her fear was also being eaten away by the bond they now shared. Something that drove her to be near him when she could be, like right now. Rip couldn't deny that space was still very much needed so she could think for herself and redefine what she wanted. But, somewhere deep down she also knew she belonged at his side.
There were plenty of opportunities to pull away, to free herself from him and sever all ties to live her life how she wanted in this place. Obviously she didn't shy away from hard work and did want to make her farm prosper...
"You did.. und I vas terrified of you vhen you found me. Zhe nightmares had been haunting me for zo long zhat sleep just vas not something I enjoyed." She hesitated a moment, pausing before one stall when she spotted a large panda plushie with with a blue bow around its neck and smiled slightly at the distraction before refocusing on what she wanted to say.
"But since becoming your fledgling, zhe nightmares are becoming less und less. I cannot deny zhat some part of me may still fear you but it iz becoming smaller und smaller every day." Did she want different mate..?
Rip drew in a deep breath as she glanced towards him. "...I zhink in time, I vill forgive you. You killed me, but, I somehow survived. You found me und I cannot deny zhat being near you is soothing und perhaps.. sharing zhe same home und bed isn't zhat far fetched."
no subject
"Hm. I see. Fair enough. And I..." He stopped. He wanted to say sorry. But at the same time, asking for her forgiveness, he remembered he was peeved at her, for she is destructive as well, and taking so many lives while she wandered, and that part leads back to his own fault, his own guilt. No, not yet. Alucard valued his own strengths, but his strongest weakness is actually apologizing, because of his pride, and it's not the time yet. Not in a crowd with a lot of people and their families coming out to enjoy the festivities.
"I'll think about it." For now, he's more focused on his project to build his farm strange enough, but sharing a bed and a home...it was on his mind as an idea but nothing concrete and he does like her as never before he sees her as attractive until now. "For now, let's enjoy the festivities." Her answer is good enough for him now, though the mentioning of a marriage proposal threw him off because he didn't see Rip as marriage material, though however as a mate is a far better term for that role.
They walked down further until Alucard spot a game that he always wins at. It's a game where there's a rifle hitting the target. The vendor is giving away prizes, one, in particular, is a white rabbit with blue floppy ears with a blue ribbon around its neck, but there's also a yellow lion with it's brown mane doll wearing a plastic gold crown and having a red robe with white faux fur and black dots.
The toy rifle shoots water. "Hmm..." He played the game and beat it less than five minutes since his shots are always accurate and he won the rabbit doll for Rip. "If your shots are accurate like mine, I would like the lion." That comes surprising, considering Alucard is a scary man, but he asked her for a doll, a simple request.
no subject
Though, when it came to the destruction she caused, Rip felt no guilt or remorse. She simply viewed it as she was surviving. Besides, she tried to keep it to a minimum where she could, moving often to keep from getting caught right up until she settled into Brazil...
Where he found her.
Rip nodded at his answer, not really expecting much. Did she find him attractive? Yes. Both as a male and.. as the stronger predator. Even though he was her Master, she couldn't help it. But, could she go for someone else as her mate...Rip wasn't sure.
So, she walked with him until they came to the riffle game. She was pleased that he won her the rabbit and might have just been hugging it when he brought up her aim. She raised an eyebrow at the slight challenge and then nodded slightly.
Of course, Rip's aim was true and just as accurate as his which meant the lion was won easily for him. Rip felt a little bit of pride at her accomplishment as she handed it over to him. "My aim iz something zhat vill never falter."
no subject
He watched her with expectation. Of course, her shots are accurate. Her true skill lies with her rifle and sniper skills. A rare skill hard to master. Alucard took the lion doll, his sanguine red eyes gave a steady glow, and his expression softens with a small smile. He is pleased with the gift.
"Thank you, Rip. I'll treasure this." Perhaps, he can afford to show his softer side to her. It was tiring to be scary and be a source of fear for a long time, for decades.
"Now, where would you like to go? There's more to the festivities for us to discover." Of course, Rip can go back home if she likes. He wasn't in a hurry. He lives next door, his land was right next to hers.
no subject
Rip understood war just as well as any soldier was supposed to and maybe better than most others. She was the looser, he was the victor and her survival now depended on him. Simple as that.
She felt a bit of pride as she handed the lion over to him and then got that rare soft smile and the thank you. If anything, that made her own smile grow slightly, happy and warm. She genuinely was happy that he would treasure the gift and he could probably feel through their bond. Rip was definitely not afraid of him in this moment.
"Zhen lets discover zhem, together." She had the rabbit back in her arms again and was hugging it to her chest. Moments like this really did make Rip look less like a monster and more like an innocent young girl, despite how vicious she could be.
But, it was clear she was content with staying out as late as he desired.
no subject
By the end of the night, Alucard found a hill, which he brought her for a good view of the valley and the townspeople around. The fireworks show he had heard about is on display and they arrived on time to watch the show begin, the fireworks flared.
The fireworks light up the starry night sky as they exploded in an exciting area of colors. While it's odd for a vampire like him to enjoy, but the truth is, he did enjoy it.
Turning to Rip. "Enjoying the fireworks show, Ms. Rip?" He asked her.
no subject
By the end of the night, Rip was comfortable walking close with him and still pleased to be in his presence. So when they settled on a hill to watch the fireworks, she was sitting close to him though unsure if she was allowed to lean against him or even touch him at this point. So, she simply sat there with the rabbit in her lap as the fireworks started to go off.
She was gazing up as he spoke, the colorful lights highlighting her pale skin and freckles as she tore her gaze away from them to pay attention to her companion. "I am.. I used to sneak off und vatch zhe firevorks in Buenos Aries all zhe time." She smiled a little before turning her gaze back to the next round.
"Zhere are times I miss Brazil... but, I zhink zhis place is starting to suit me better. Zhank you for bringing me here."
no subject
"Were you still thinking about Brazil all of this time? I think if you missed it that much, you would have learned to speak their language and become fluent." He's teasing her of course, and Brazil is best known for their carnival shows and parades. Perhaps someday, when the bus returned to regular service, they'll visit back again, and stopped by Germany too.
When the show is over, and when he heard that she thanked him.
"De nada, meu querido (You're welcome, my dear.)"
no subject
"Vho's to say I didn't pick of zhe language? Or become fluent~." She smirked a little. Surprisingly, Rip was good with Portuguese. It was English she always had a hard time grasping, at least reading wise. But, she did manage. Besides, she spent more time in Brazil than she ever did in her native country, how could she not fall in love with it?
So if they ever got the chance, Rip would love to travel with him there and show him the sights and carnivals.
Eventually the show ended and she looked up when he said thank you and was.. very pleased he called her dear. Rip smiled and then impulsively kissed his cheek before resting her head back on his shoulder for a few moments to just enjoy the moment. She knew they'd have to move soon, though she wasn't sure she wanted to make the first move.
no subject
Still, it was on his mind that he started to have feelings for her, but he wasn't sure yet. He still have memories of his past. They are very old and had faded, and in a way they are holding him back...but it wasn't a lot. She doesn't exist in those memories since it happened a long time go. Just a little more time...
The odds are favorable if she has any feelings for him, and as a sign that his affection is mutual, he reached out to ruffled through her black hair, almost like a big brother would do for a small sister.
She only see that smile of his, but she should realized that his treatment is both teasing and trolling. "Let's go home, Rip."
no subject
She'd just accept it for now as he mentioned going home. Very reluctantly she pulled away from him to get up and to lead the way back to their farms.
