Bawdry’s Plushie Pond (Free TCPs!)


Masterpost Link: https://homebrewdeviants.com/forum/thread-111.html

Rules:
Pick any of the ducks and the pond, and you’ll receive a free TCP! There’s no possibility of not getting one, the game of chance here is seeing which one you’ll get! 
Simply comment which duck you’d like from the list (you can also roleplay as a character picking a duck if you’d like), and I’ll DM you the picture, name, and blurb for the TCP that goes with the duck. 
If you don’t like the TCP you get from the first duck you pick, or you just want to try your luck, you can choose to forfeit your first TCP and pick another duck -however, whatever TCP you get from the second duck you pick will be the TCP you get.
Feel free to change, trade, or gift the TCPs you get (or even put one in the Mystery Trade Box, if you’d like to try your luck further), they’re completely and utterly yours.


TL;DR:  I will DM you the tcp for each duck you pick. You get up to 2 tries, but only 1 TCP. (I will allow 2 TCPs for the same account in the case of system members, but unfortunately I don’t have enough TCPs to offer more than that, sorry!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Poker Chip System:
If you have any poker chips from one of the festival’s games you can turn them in for little advantages picking ducks!


1 chip will get you: The name and TCP type behind a duck of your choosing will be revealed to you, without using one of your two picks.


2 chips: A headshot and the theme of the TCP behind a duck of your choosing will be revealed to you, without using one of your two picks.


3 chips: The entire TCP picture and blurb of the TCP behind a duck of your choosing will be revealed to you, without using one of your two picks.

AVAILABLE DUCK:
Red Heart
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(RP prompt for those so inclined)
You see a sock type (with a… red and black halo around her neck? Odd.) filing her mitts and leaning back in a folding chair, next to a black garbage bag full of...something, and a kiddie pool full of tiny rubber ducks.  The ducks each have a different card suit on their forehead, and the pool itself has a sign that says “Bawdry’s Plushie Pond - Two duck picks per person, One plush per person.” You don’t think she’s noticed you yet.

MID-SUMMER FESTIVAL MASTERPOST

Welcome, one and all, to what I’ve been spending the last week working on! Thought everyone could really use a little positivity (and fun!) so I’ve decided to set up a little forum festival of sorts!

It’ll consist of a few different threads, 6 in total, 2 being games, 2 being little roleplay/art sort of events (though rp is never mandatory), and 2 as ways to get (or trade) TCPs!
I’ll link them below once they get up and running. 

Each thread should explain themselves and their rules, (and the in-game currency for the whole shebang) but feel free to take any initial questions you might have to this thread!

This will run from this Saturday to Saturday next week… but don’t be surprised if I’m a bit slow to reply, since next week my job is going to be much more hectic than usual. I’ll get to what I can after work,and I’ll try to keep this running as smoothly as possible!

(Oh and, important note - for those of you that might want to RP in this little festival, the TCPs being traded/won are plushies in-universe. Feel free to use the TCPs you get as TCPs, I just want to make it clear that this isn’t, y’know, trading people in-universe.)

The original short chapter for ya'll wanting more context. Or not, things will try to fill in major details regardless.



You are Lex. You're old enough to drink but still are afraid of the harder stuff. You invested in a stay at home job managing inventory for a experimental online bookstore service, and the mailman won't let you depression nap in peace. You quietly pray that he'll let you enjoy your Sunday but he keeps knocking on the door. Wait.



It's Sunday. Why is he delivering mail on a Sunday? Oh my god it keeps on going. After slamming for 20 minutes you should have figured he wouldn't cave. It probably isn't even the mailman actually. Shoot. You only get to swear once a day so you're saving it for a moment that matters. Learning to clean up your language to look proper used to be hard but people value when you say fuck more.



Getting out of bed was a bit of a loud fumble.
You lumber toward the door after putting on a jacket to downplay that you're still in your PJs. The knocking's died down, they probably heard you trip.



As you turn the knob open and pull the door just a tiny creek a arm slams through holding a letter right to your face. Looks like a govern hired construct. You practiced all of your life for this.

???: Alexandra Rambo, I have a crucial little message for you today.
Lex: You do? 
???: Yep. I'm here by the request of a Dorthy Coil to be her partner in a formal ranked duel. She was challenged by a Mr. Wallace J. G. who is quite aware of your condition and has agreed to majority cover material and medical fees should they come up. 

Dotty would never just pick a fight like that so it's gotta be big. Part of you feels a bit warm and fuzzy that she picked you over someone much more well-versed. Maybe. You should check.

Lex: Just curious but... was I her first choice?
???: Only one she asked for. Now I wanted to give you more time to prep by popping in at 2PM but you sure took your sweet time so now instead of a hour you got less than half.
Lex: Yeah.. that's on me there. It's not too far, right?
???: It's in the area, I'll cover transportation even though it's not my job but just this once because you seem like a good person from what your friend's said.
Now you really do feel fuzzy.



The envelop has a fancy little old time feeling wax seal, probably from some kind of nobleman type. There's a little figurine of a "paletero" tapped to the front. Weird but it makes a statement.

???: You're actually qualified to try a new supplement believe it or not! With your arm mostly recovered but not quite, we got a little something to give you back your strength for this duel, it's a high end mod.
Lex: Wait, really?I don't really need it-
???: Yes you do.  Now I know I'm supposed to be a neutral party in this and all but in the state you're in combined with your middling ranking as a duelist? You're at pretty high risk of getting seriously hurt.
Lex: Is it a quick install?
???: Yep, especially for folks of a more organic nature like yours. We can talk more on the way there about it but for now I need to know if you'll fight or not.
Lex: Yeah! I mean, of course right?
???: Heh, of course. Now I'd say change into something a little more dignified but I don't think you got the time so just put on some nice shoes and grab a big stick.

THE FIRST PORTION OF THIS QUEST IS MISSING FROM THE FORUMS DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES! IF YOU'RE NEW, I'D STRONGLY RECOMMEND READING THE MSPFA MIRROR TO GET CAUGHT UP, OR USE MY SHODDY GOOGLE DOCS ARCHIVE OF THE DELETED PORTION. THANK YOU FOR READING!!

DISCUSSION THREAD

The screen flickers momentarily, as if the power went out for a split second. You feel... Different. You quickly shrug it off and remind yourself of what you were doing. You're leading Echo on a rescue mission of sorts to locate Topaz, the canary you spawned for her. Along the way, you met Clemont, a mysterious but friendly TCP with a pitchfork, and... whoever this is.

So... What do you think of Clemont, Echo?

He's... interesting. He seems friendly, but careful at the same time, I think? I'm not sure yet.

Once you arrive, you're greeted by a familiar voice.

Ah, there you are. I was wondering if you'd show up.

The structure appears to be a wooden door set into the stone wall.

You don't recall seeing anyone like this before, but you do recognize the voice as the one Clemont was talking to while you and Echo were eavesdropping. You tell Echo to apologize for being late and to ask how long they were waiting. Echo seems confused, but does so.

Sorry I'm late! How long were you waiting for me?
You'll have to forgive my attitude... It's been a stressful day and we weren't expecting so many visitors. To answer your question, I haven't been waiting long. I was wondering if you would also pay us a visit after I heard you talking with Clemont outside.
You know Clemont?
I only met him a few minutes ago, but yes, I suppose I do.
Oh! Well, my name's Echo!
Orkahm. Nice to meet you.

Orkahm steps forward and offers his hand to Echo. It takes you a moment to realize Echo doesn't know what shaking hands is, which would explain why she's just sort of standing there.
