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.

Jolyne and Udder Chaos (oh no)

[personal profile] strings_theory 2021-03-26 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Jolyne Cujoh
Tauros: Udder Chaos

1. - You know what, she's going to go headfirst into this nonsense as she's not really worried about getting dirty and her bull sure isn't upset about charging through, either. Though, of course, Jolyne's also a cheater at heart and might take advantage of her talonflame following overhead to try and see about using some fire moves to dry out the mud a bit in front of them in order to turn mud into more solid... dirt? Dried mud? What do you even call that?
2. - Mud and now water? Pfft, if that isn't some good luck! Given Udder Chaos is the type of bull to go charging through anything, Jolyne's absolutely encouraging her ridiculous bull friend to go straight on through the current. And getting a nice shower, or, well, some soggy clothes for her efforts. Luckily there's no interference with her bird this time around.
3. - Stairs. Those are stairs. You know what, there's some options here.
A. If the stairs are not required to go over but you can go through an they're destroyable then Jolyne's just going to have her lovely bull keep plowing right on through. Probably a bad idea for her, but whatever. Consequences later.
B. If they're either required to go over or cannot be destroyed, then, uh. Well, if he's not going to go up the stairs then she's going to try shoving him up the stairs or just carry him. That's... that's probably possible, right????
4. - You know what doesn't like fire, probably? Bees. Bees probably don't like fire. Good thing her bull knows incinerate and they're going to absolutely abuse that fact to make a huge ring around them to keep on moving. Out of the way, bees, no one likes you here!!!
5. - Oh, fun. Ah well, guess who's joining the "shirts are for nerds" brigade and totally removing her shirt to wrap it around her poor bull's nose to keep him going. She can deal with it. While not wearing literally anything up top. Why let the boys be bare chested? Jeeze. Also she might attempt, oh, you know, having her rude bird use dual wingbeat to get the pollen further away from them. Cheating bird saves her butt again! And, you know, also try and use ember to set the pollen on fire behind them to hamper anyone sadly behind them. Sorry, guys.
6. - Nah, we're totally going to ignore that sawsbuck. Deer are dumb creatures by habit and she's not dealing with something that absolutely isn't her problem.
7. - Sorry not sorry, girls. We're absolutely destroying your day and that means a sudden talonflame attack from above to get your cute butts OUT OF THE WAY OF THE RAMPAGING BULLS. Luckily Jolyne's also got a trick up her sleeve to keep her bull focused and that trick up her sleeve is a lighter. That she is going to casually use to but a little burn (not permanent, it's fine) on Udder Chaos' butt to fire him up and get him to focus on getting out of here and through the finish line.

Anything else: I'M SORRY THIS TALONFLAME IS A TOTAL JERK???? Except not at all.
