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! ]
no subject
[He bows deeply, because of course he does, before offering Seere a hand. It's mostly without thinking, though once it's out there he doesn't exactly draw it back. Best way to keep from getting lost, right?] I know that you have no reason to worry about threats, but would it be alright if you allowed me to accompany you for a short while?
Or would my presence merely be embarrassing? I hear that's sometimes an occurrence when one is forced to be around someone like me. [Y'know, older than even time-abominations.]
no subject
(Give him just a little while longer to realize the vibe was there ALL ALONG.)]
Oh- I don't mind at all! I'm sorry if I seemed stand-offish... [Don't be mad!] Really, I would love the opportunity to make some friends here.
[His only friend is his pet rock, he's so lonely, 8(]
no subject
(Also yeah he's. A little wounded. By the blatant refusal of his hand. Is it his face...? He knows he's not the most approachable-looking guy, but damn does that sting. Just gonna withdraw it and look up at the stars instead because that's cool.)]
No no, I perhaps assume too much friendliness given that we are strangers; you're quite right to not warm to me, of course. That much is common sense. I am...More accustomed to living where my appearance is somewhat known, and people are able to look past it. But this is not home, and I became complacent.
Where would you like to go first? [Segue, yeah.]
no subject
Sorry, bro, nothing personal. A younger Seere would have gladly taken up that hand no matter how big and tough and battle-scarred Kojuro is because he's still less threatening company than SOME PEOPLE this kid somehow liked anyway. But he'll never be taken seriously as not being that young anymore if he doesn't pretend to have some independence! It's a cruel world...
He can't help but feel a little ashamed of himself when he picks up on that mood, though. No, he wanted the opposite of this, this is not how to make friends. Please don't run away and start a murdercult because he's so callous.]
My situation is similar. I forget that I'm somewhere I can easily be mistaken for a child. [...Not that he couldn't be back home, but at least people tended to know about his pact...] But I think we can still become fine friends in spite of our appearances! So why don't we just wander and see what's around?
no subject
It's oka--
wait
what?? Kojuro suddenly frowns very seriously, looking from his hand to Seere in mild confusion and extreme consternation. What does 'mistaken for a child' mean? He is a child...Well. One way to find out.]
'Mistaken for a child'. I feel as though I've made some gravely insulting assumptions in my conduct towards you then...Overlooking appearances would definitely help with our friendship, I think. [He'll leave the 'what' of it for another conversation, after all. For now, let's just...Hang out, yeah. Great idea, he's just going to motion loosely in front of them and start walking, albeit at a slower pace than normal. Just looking like a kid or no, Seere has tiny legs.]
no subject
[Ha ha ha. It's a shame he doesn't have more of a mischievous streak because there's so much opportunity that comes with his soft baby face and his newfound freedom and anonymity here. Perhaps he'll develop one in time, with the right (wrong) influences. Now that he has a whole new world in front of him.
That's for later. For now he follows Kojuro as fast as those tiny legs can take him, and he is grateful for the considerate pace. Things like that, he can deal with.
. . . So, uh . . . how does one make friends when you're not being forced together under extreme circumstances? Hm.]
What can you see around us?
no subject
Oh. Right. Shit, huh, okay. His first urge is to offer to lift him up, but...Insulting child-like Emperor isn't a good idea, nah. Besides...]
I can't see more than you can, were you to look up. The stalls are...More tightly packed than I might expect. But food and drink is always a smart thing to see to first, and then we can go for playing games or trying some of the other amusements. Do you prefer sweets or something savoury?
[And then a thought, somewhat stupid, strikes.] ...I know this is rather impolite to ask, but...I assume you do not drink alcohol?
1/2
no subject
So. Let us drink.
[SEERE NO]
no subject
He doesn't even bother trying to hide his surprise, but swiftly pushes it away with a small, tightly restrained smile. Just so that he doesn't end up laughing, whether it be out of surprise or genuine amusement.]
As you wish, Seere. I think you shall find that enjoying the common man's pleasures as a rarity will bridge the gap between you and them; a necessary evil, as you will.
And a way to loosen your tensions without resorting to violence, of course. [Come along then tiny uncle, let's go get on the PISS. Kojuro starts off again, one arm tucked in his open yukata and that same tiny smile plain on his face.]
