Day at the races!

Who: Everyone!
Where: Moo Moo Farms
When: Saturday, March 20th
Summary:



The day is as lovely as you can expect any early spring day to be. You'll need a coat, yes, and there is a bit of a breeze, but the sun shines happily onto the wooden buildings that make up the Moo Moo Farms where we have all gathered today.

The various farm workers have worked hard to make their farm presentable to the public. Cheerful banners hang between the various sheds, stables and barns, which all have been given a bit of a cleaning (and perhaps a new coat of paint here and there). Of course, it is still a farm, so perhaps don't wear your very best shoes, but as far as farms go, it's been made as neat as can be.

And while the main draws of the day may be releasing the Miltank herd out onto the pasture again after a long winter inside -- whimsically called 'Cow Ballet' on the info sign -- and the Great Tauros Race, Moo Moo Farms has set up various little events and booths to entertain their guests, and perhaps teach them a thing or two about farm life.

A large information sign stands at the gate to the farm, letting visitors know what sort of events are taking place, as well as where and when these are happening. The two big ones -- the Miltank Ballet and the Tauros Race -- are spaced in such a way that people can easily attend both, and most of the other little events are available throughout the entire day.

The Miltank Ballet will be taking place at 1PM over by the big barn. There is little you can do to participate in this (unless you are a cow?), but if you want to watch some ecstatic Miltank dance through the mud and grass after a long winter inside, you should definitely come check this out.

The Tauros Race will start at 4PM (sign ups close at 3PM) and anyone who wants to help give the Tauros a good round of exercise is encouraged and welcome to sign up. There is, according to the sign, a small mystery prize to be won, but surely we are all here because we want to help some cooped up Tauros, right?

In addition to those two big events, two paddocks have been made ready where visitors can test themselves against a Bucking Bronco -- that's his name, Bronco the Bouffalant -- to see how long they can last in the saddle. Due to safety concerns, participants for this event will need to be 16+. For the children, there is a separate rodeo in which they can ride Vaquero the Dubwool, who, for all his seemingly wild behaviour, is actually a very well trained Dubwool who'll make sure no harm comes to the kids.

Of course, while people are free to bring their own food, the Moo Moo Farms have also set up a wide variety of booths where people can buy anything from fresh Moo Moo Milk and milkshakes to freshly made cheese and bread, and oh, is that apple pie? That most certainly is apple pie, as well as various other homey pastries. And as the day goes on, and people might start craving something a little less sweet and more filling, a booth opens up selling various curries. Don't worry, there won't be any Snorlax you need to share with this time!

And for anyone who has found themselves wanting and craving a bovine of their own after all these cute sights, you are in luck! Amidst the various booths, there is also one run by two cheery farm girls, advertising a sale on eggs! All the eggs that are normally available from the Moo Moo Farms can be bought at a whopping 50% discount. Mind that this is only on the purchase price of the egg itself. The price for any additional egg-moves remains the same.

There are also some other, smaller things set up, such a station where you can learn about milking a Miltank and a barrel where you can bob for apples, and even a horseshoe toss game. Most of these are definitely aimed towards teaching and entertaining little kids, but nobody will stop you if you decide to muscle past a row of Youngsters to claim the apple bobbing barrel.

Less "lunch" and more "enough sugar to put someone in a coma".

[ Not that she would experience such results herself. She's an expert and also, teenage metabolisms are bullshit. ]

You need a hand there? Thats... a lot happening.

[...]

Please do not fall into a coma.

[He's just saying. For now, however, he gently rubs Donna's flank.]

We are making a choice on what pies to get. We know we should probably not get many... But that does not help with the choice.
fortuna_tenax: ("ur full of urself tbh")

[personal profile] fortuna_tenax 2021-03-26 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
It's a figure of speech, don't worry.

[ Whoops, maybe that was a little... tasteless. ]

The apple and the cherry are really good, so I recommend those ones the most. [ But you might notice her steering absolutely clear from blueberry. Yikes. ] If you're not up for a lot of pie though, some of that fresh bread with a bit of cheese and a slice of honey comb's really good!

[Apple and cherry... Dimitri nods.]

I will keep those in mind. [And that Jinx might not be a berry type of person?] And - well, we do plan to get more food... Cheese and honey is so good...

[What an excellent mouth feel. Dimitri trails off for a second before Donna nudges him.]

But, ah, this is primarily for these two!

[ She looks at them for a moment, before glancing back up to Dimitri. ]

... I don't know what they like.
nastyboy: (It is my duty and my pleasure)

Well, Fraldariend tends to like rather... Hm. Subtle flavors, I suppose? I think he likes the pastry almost more than anything else...

Meanwhile, Donna likes rather sweet things. And, well. Dirt.

[The Mudbray brays. She is but a simple dirt horse. What do you expect from her.]

Maybe a funnel cake for him, then? It's not the same thing, but it's just... a fried sweet bread with some powdered sugar. And then anything might work for Donna. Cherries tend to be pretty tart though, even with sugar. So maybe apple?

A funnel cake and an apple pie... Yes, that should do. [Still patting his two Pokemon, Dimitri smiles to Jinx.] You have a good idea of how to match things with people. Have you thought about making that a sort of job?
fortuna_tenax: (fanart by mollykflood.tumblr.com !) (i will not apologize for)

[personal profile] fortuna_tenax 2021-04-08 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Ah- nnno? I'm not sure how I'd even do that.

[ Also, she's like. 16, and doesn't want to think about supporting herself properly when apparently pet gladiator stuff works just fine. ]

I just... like food. A lot. It's easy to guess what people might like from their preferences.
nastyboy: (It is my duty and my pleasure)

[personal profile] nastyboy 2021-04-12 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure there must be some business... Well, this place makes it easy to do as you like.

[So there's really no pressure, he supposes. For the time being, he just steps forward to make his order to the stall, before glancing back to Jinx.]

Ah, would you like anything as well?
fortuna_tenax: (fanart by mollykflood.tumblr.com !) (rule number one: i do)

[personal profile] fortuna_tenax 2021-04-16 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I have some pie... ... do they have honeycombs here? Because it's one of my favorites! I also need to look at drinks though-

( though she be but little, she can eat so much fucking food. ... but she also knows if she goes too ham, she's going to get sick. she doesn't mind hanging out with dimitri and his pokemon though- if anything, amalthea likes getting to hang out with other rapidashes as fabulous as she. )

[Ah. He's starting to recognize some of this behavior, on account of having known Ingrid all his life. Still, that's not a bad thing. Why not indulge in a place so plentiful and kind? Dimitri looks around.]

I believe I actually did spot something... Apparently, they have a Combee population nearby, and they help with honey.
