GAME OPEN - INTRO MINGLE
| INTRO MINGLE: BOUNTIFUL BUFFET | ||
 | NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK | |
New arrivals will continue trickling in as time goes on, always arriving close enough to the Obsidian Fieldlands base camp to be spotted and shepherded back to the safety of Jubilife, or in the vicinity of a material-gathering party who can gather them up as well. Characters are given a spare set of clothes once they arrive at the village. It's usually something resembling a casualwear kimono and trousers, fitted to them specifically. | ||

| PLANNING PHASE |  | |
| As the new arrivals begin to show up in force, the Galaxy Team's leader, Kamado, makes more and more visits to the Wallflower. Soon after, the Wallflower's chef and owner puts out a call for help: Ingredients, of all varieties, and extra hands that can prepare and cook food. It seems a big buffet is in the works - and the whole village is invited! OOC NOTES: ❧ The in game length of the gathering, prep, and meal phases totals 4 days, but feel free to thread well beyond that. ❧ Wildcards and additional prompts are absolutely encouraged here! ❧ Characters who arrived during the TDM may consider those threads canonical to the game if they wish. ❧ Have fun! | ||

 | GATHERING PHASE (DAYS 1-3) | |
The request goes out in the early morning on Friday: Ingredients! Food items! As much as you can carry! The reward, the green haired maestro of cooking assures you, will come in time. Though if you can’t be convinced to work for free, he’ll turn over some coin with minimal grumpy mumbling. The ingredients he’s looking for are all easy to locate in the Obsidian Fieldlands - a variety of berries, the ever sweet combs of Dazzling Honey, and the savory Springy Mushrooms that grow at the bases of trees. There are other herbs and plants on the list as well, so feel free to make some up as you go. | ||

| MEAL PREP PHASE (DAYS 3-4) |  | |
| As loath as he is to admit that he needs help, Beni is allowing folks into his kitchen to slice, dice, and sauteé in preparation for the big day! Ingredients need to be washed, sorted, prepared, and stored safely. Wood needs to be chopped for the cooking fires. New additions to the pantry are still being accepted. Whatever you can contribute helps, Beni assures everyone. If you’re feeling like there’s too many cooks in the kitchen, tables and benches need to be set up outside. The tables inside need to be washed and set up as well. Decorations are discussed - maybe some colorful lanterns or banners…? | ||

 | FEAST (DAY 4) | |
When the day comes, tables and benches are set up in front of Galaxy Hall and filled to the brim with food. Rice, great big hotpots of ramen, plate after plate of mochi - potato or otherwise - and a truly incredible selection of clay pots containing quality teas, brewed fresh for the occasion. And that’s just scratching the surface! Between the Agriculture Corps tireless work on harvesting food and all the new arrivals’ hard fought spoils, the feast is truly grand. | ||

| GOOD OMENS (NIGHT) |  | |
| After the feast, as night begins to fall over the village, characters may look up to see that in the clear starry sky, a meteor shower has begun. The shooting stars come in all colors, too, filling the night with a cheerful rainbow incandescence. Locals stop and point, the superstitious among them exclaiming that this is a good omen. A sign that things are looking up. They say there’s an old legend about this sort of meteor shower - that if you make a wish on the colorful streaks in the sky, it just might come true... | ||

taako | the adventure zone | ota, will match your format!
[Okay. So. This is new.
Not the getting unceremoniously dropped into other worlds thing, of course. That's not new, it's just really not, and it's even less new these days that he's done it over a hundred times. But this time was supposed to be different. This time he was supposed to know where he's going, and now he's just prickly about the entire experience. He was supposed to be going home, and now all of this is just... happening. It's sure happening.
Despite his crabby sort of mood, he's sitting outside of what is now his new lodgings in house T, with his new Hatenna sitting next to him, as he attempts to fuss with her 'hat'.]
Seriously, is this skin? Do you just have skin shaped like a hat? That's fucked up.
[The hatenna trills back at him, and he purses his lips like he's thinking... and then proceeds to make a series of growls and grunts that make absolutely no sense at this thing. By the blank way the Pokemon is staring at him, it should be pretty evident it also doesn't know what's going on.
If you talk to him, maybe you'll find out! Or you can reprimand him for being a public nuisance. Either way, you could get an answer as to what the fuck all that is that he's still doing.]
ii. [meal prep] good gracious / when it comes, gonna be too soon, oh
[Taako is in the kitchen, almost begrudgingly. He's absolutely already had an argument with Beni about who is who's sous chef, but here he is doing prepwork anyway no matter what the outcome of that was. It's boring, but it does have to be done, so fine. Fine.
Right now, he's got two cutting boards set up- one that's being worked under his hands, and one that's right next to him being worked by a floating, almost transparent hand holding an identical knife. It does the same cuts he does with the same speed and precision, and once he's done with one fruit he'll replace the one on his board-- and on it's board-- with another and keep going. All the while, he's humming to himself, waiting to catch someone staring so he can brag at least a little bit. So whether you approach him or you're just looking from afar, eventually he'll catch your eye and give you a big, overconfident smile.]
Hey, my dude. Come here to learn from the master, because uhhh, I've got you covered.
[taako, no,]
iii. [good omens] who's that crazy cat? / he's sitting in the corner with them longing eyes
[Normal people are probably watching this from the ground, in the middle of the party, oo-ing and aah-ing at the display. Taako, on the other hand, is committed to making a nuisance of himself to try and ignore the fact that he's still a little bitter about being here. This is why he can now be found on top of someone's house, pointing at the sky.]
Hey! You see that shit?? You wanna come up here just say the word, chaboy doesn't usually do rides but I'm feeling generous tonight!
[Sorry if it's your house. He'll probably be on a couple of them before someone gets him the hell down.]
iv. [wildcard] who's that crazy cat? / i say, he looks a lot like me
[Hit me with more stuff if you've got ideas! And if you wanna plot I am reachable at

In the current moment however she was more than distracted by the sudden appearance of a shockingly peppy seeming elf on her roof.
“Hey!” She called up to him. She considered her options for a moment. “Either put me up there or come down here, There’s no wine around here and yet you are on my house, which suggests that you at least know how to actually party. Also the shingles are coming loose.”
no subject
"Damn right I know how to party, come join it fam!" He does a few quick hand symbols and grabs some sort of star-shaped glaive on his hip, and a moment later, a large translucent spectral hand appears and heads right towards her. If she doesn't protest, it's just going to pick her up like King Kong and deposit her on the roof next to him. Otherwise, she can also ride it up, but like, what kind of fun is that. Whatever way she makes it up there, Taako grins down at her, a look that suggests he should be drunk right now even though he clearly isn't.
"Also, your roof will be fine, and if it's not we'll just slap that shit right back on there, don't even worry about it. What were you doin' hiding in your house anyway?"
no subject
After squawking in surprise Huff decided to just go with the giant hand picking her up like a cat. She had in fairness asked to be brought onto the roof.
“It better be I’m a smith not a roofer…” she quipped upon landing, “And, parties with people I don’t know often end up with someone stepping on me or worse, tossing me in the air.” She said, shrugging. After a moment she sighed, “That and the whole mood seems out of place without the usual bardic antics.”
Her expression seemed to sour for a moment before she sat down on the roof. “At least this new sky is pretty, and not potentially an illusion.” She added, glancing up at Taako. “How about you? What’s your angle on this annoyingly alcohol free celebration?”
no subject
"I meeeean, lack of alcohol sucks, but I can fix that with a lil time and a few materials. This place has fruit coming out of it's asshole, 'mm sure I can get some wine goin' quick. Hell, if what's-his-face actually forks over some potatoes chaboy could do some real shit." He flops down to sit next to her, all long limbs and no sense of personal space. "I don't wanna be here as much as the next guy, but at least it's slightly an upgrade from the last shithole. In some things. Not the bed though, the beds suck, gotta fix that one stat."
no subject
"In terms of the bed-" she waggled her hand in the air "Situation? I figure that can be sorted out pretty easily once we find something akin to cotton or down that isn't attached to something that can shoot paralyzing nerve agents at you." She said with a slightly strained chuckle. That had not been a fun way to find out what a cotonee was.

hey wait you look like-Emporio doesn't have a lot of time to consider the fact that there's people here that are actually related to the other. ...Well. People from elsewhere, who came here, and.
He's not following that train of thought. Honestly, Emporio's potentially someone who's been notable through the past few days due to how unnoted he seems to aim to be. Not so long after being released from Medical, and the kid seemed to have decided that the middle of the road was the Worst Place To Go. Ever. Behind walls, in alleys, anywhere where the most that can be seen of him is a spec of blond, and that's where he's going.
He did, of course, eventually leave the village to try and help with gathering materials, but at the end of the day it's plain to see that Emporio is as skittish as a mouse.
Except maybe with that candle-like pokemon he occasionally had out in the night.
But that's not the case right now. Right now it's just Emporio, who had been behind the counter putting things away in quiet, and ended up slowly more visible from back there as he stared at the floating hand.
...
Because come on. It's a floating hand.
Of course, now he's also been noticed, so-] U-
Uhhhhh...
...Actually...I was just...
[................He has a feeling that just running off is not a wise move here. Unfortunately now he's just stuck in place. Hm.]
no subject
Yoooou were just super impressed by me and wanted to come see some real skills? Because I feel that, I feel that, everybody wants an up close and personal with ol' Taako, who am I to ignore my fans--
[Meanwhile, the hand has now moved itself from the cutting board to over Emporio's head, where Taako mimes a patting motion with his own hand which causes it to move in turn, giving him a little pat pat pat on the head.]
So who are you, today's lucky caller, what's your biz here in the kitchen with the great and amazing master chef Taako?
no subject
[Honestly Emporio doesn't know what to make of this, which only makes it easier to end up getting pat-pat-pat upon the head.
And, well, from there he's not really sure what just happened, no one's ever done that before. Probably. ...Probably??]
I...
...I was just putting supplies away, [he manages, lifting one such pouch of food.] ...but...how did you make that hand?
no subject
Oh, that ol' thing? Easy my dude. Just gotta do the right moves, y'know--
[His left hand moves down to touch something on his hip, while the right makes a swirling motion until it suddenly stops and he snaps. And just like that-- new spectral hand, about 2 feet to the left of his actual one. He takes a bow, moving his hand up to mime taking off his hat in a nod, but the translucent hand actually does it before he rights himself.]
Easy peasy lemon squeezy, my guy. Or are you from one of those sad no-magic zones?
