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.

He totally had more to say there. Something just to be contrary to this human. But there's the crowd. And a brief flash of a thrashing Pokemon. One he hasn't seen yet... and -
Something small and round bouncing up above the crowd's head.
"Oh no."
no subject
But, of course, then Runaan cuts off, and Grant follows his attention up ahead to the corral, and...
He squints.
"Is... is that what it looks like?"
no subject
Unless someone else has a Rowlet around here. Which could be anyone. It's not a super rare pokemon, right? But why would she be there of all places?
"I'll go to her - if they attempt to stop me - " He actually pauses. "Distract them."
Hey, that's better than I'll f*cking kill them.
no subject
Not that he's sure... how to go about distracting people if it comes down to that, so he'll hope it doesn't.
no subject
Only to show himself on the far side of the bucking bronco corral. And of course, someone is going to try and intervene when this weirdo just flat out vaults the fence.
no subject
Aaand oh boy yeah there he goes. Grant hurries to put himself in the way, apologetic even in a rare moment where he straight-up uses his size to block someone off. "Sorry-- uh, sorry, he does need to... get in there."
Apologizing doesn't mean he's not very much getting in their way, though.
no subject
While. You know.
Dodging a bucking bronco of a pokemon. He is straight up dancing around the cow. It'd be impressive if you didn't know he was such a jerk. Though, hopefully, it won't take long for him to grab Rowlet and... roll.
Under the fence.
no subject
He startles a bit when Runaan returns, his faint distress probably audible in his voice: "Well?"
no subject
And a dazed Rowlet is cradled in his arms. Yes, you read that right. Cradled. Like a very small child. Someone has gone 100% into Dad Mode and shows no signs of emerging. He even turns away from an onlooker, to hide the pokemon from view.
"You ... " His jaw works. He's clearly trying to say something here. "You... made a formidable barricade."
Was that a compliment.
Did he just fucking compliment someone.
no subject
However, groundbreaking though Runaan's attempt at a compliment may be, Grant's answering smile is still sort of tight and almost rueful, that tension still not quite having left his frame, even as he steps hurriedly away from the people he'd been blocking - who, at least, seem to better understand now what just happened and why this man felt the need to climb into the pen to begin with.
He thinks for a moment about trying to address the comment actually aimed at him before just... giving up. There's nothing he could say that wouldn't come off as sort of bitter, even though he was the one who interpreted "distract them" as "be a barrier" to begin with. "Uh... glad it looks like she's alright."
Boy, he's made some mistakes here.
no subject
Looking down at the Rowlet in his arms, tucked in like an actual baby, Runaan is not sure. She looks dazed at best.
"Have you... potions? Of any sort?"
Sorry, Grant. But at least, this time, when he asks for help, it's a lot less use your body as a human shield. Right?
no subject
He nods hurriedly at Runaan's next request - which is actually a lot easier. He fumbles for his bag, and it only takes him a moment to get out a randomly-grabbed potion to pass to Runaan. "Let me know if she needs more."
no subject
"There you are. Come now. Come on..." And other such quiet words. Gently spraying the potion on his Rowlet with more care than he really has for anything else in this world so far. "You'll come round."
And she does! Blinking those big ol' eyes at both of them. The elf exhales, heavily.
"I will... repay the potion cost."
no subject
"No-- don't worry about it."
