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! ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Ophianne had been exploring on the back of her bright white Chocobo, Alisaie being trailed around by her new Golden retriever, lovingly but unimaginatively named 'Goldie'.

They'd been trotting at a sedate pace until a small animal came Zipping through the underbrush at Alisaie's feet.

"Woah! Calm, Girl!" She exclaims as Ali rears back and lets out a confused 'Kweh!" at the little being.

As Ardyn goes zipping by a much larger being comes bolting out of the bushes a moment later, Shepard the Lycanroc having darted ahead of Noctis to try and head the Zorua off only to find herself now in the face of a creature she'd never seen before. The midnight canine darted back a few steps and bristled curiously, ears perked as she tilted her head and started at the bird and rider--

"You have a chocobo??"

Noctis came stumbling out of the bushes before Shepard could do anything, Bean the Snorlax lumbering along behind him not looking bothered by anything at all. The prince, on the other hand, looked a bit excited? Relieved? It was one of those.

"Are you--where did you get that?"

Ophie dismounted as soon as it looked like her bird had stilled enough to not bolt, patting her flank and rubbing her beak soothingly.

"Look, it's only a small thing, Poppy! Don't be silly. You've literally pecked at a dragonkin before and this is the thing that sets you off?"

And then a young man stumbles through the bushes. Are these bushed portals to another place, or something?

"I - Yes? This is my best Mare, Poppy. Where did I get her? She was with me when I was put on that 'Bus'." She explains.

"I had thought this not Eorzea, but you know of Chocobos?" She asks, a gleam in her eye. She holds her hand out for Noctis to Shake.

"Ophianne Fortemps, at your service. Best Chocobo Breeder on Three Continents!"
