Always Believe in the Heart of the Cards Except When They Tell You to Kill People


Welcome to CERES Research Tower’s latest event! For all you new folk queuing outside of the conference room where you were just made to sit through a lovely power point presentation, you will be asked to stay a bit longer and test out some games in their Game Testing Center. It’s a giant space located in the basement level filled to the brim with cubicles for everyone to sit in and enjoy their newest array of pop-up games. The games themselves will be in holo(gm) form and will feature suggestions from CEO’s post, including a simplified, 8-bit version of Tetris, Baseball, Soda Smash, etc. Characters can control the game through moving their fingers and tapping them against the holo(gm) screens.

Surrounding the cubicles will be tables of food and more food for characters to partake in. It’s all safe this time. No mind-altering candy corn or gut-exploding Knight Burgers. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the party. For those who have been in Cerealia for a while, they should have received an invitation to the event and an offer of 1,000 credits just for participating. So come on down and bring a friend or ten! Meanwhile, CEO has a small welcome for everyone-

“Good Morning and thank you all for coming!

We have been expecting you. We hope you will enjoy what we’ve put together today. Ever since we got your feedback on << RAINBOW NARWHAL MELEE >>, we’ve been developing new games for all of you to enjoy. We’ve also tried to draw in some things from your worlds. We hope to hear more feedback from you in the future.

In the meantime, feel free to sample our food, generously provided to us by TGICERES, a moderately-priced family restaurant located in the Shopping District."


//SCENARIOS.EXE
PHASE I
[ xx:xx ] Music lightly wafts from the speakers as the showroom opens. Julius Vincere, CERES’ CEO, delivers the opening announcement before leaving the room. He’ll be watching through all the video cameras placed around the room, so be on your best behavior! You will be guided to one of the many cubicles where you will sit and wait for a screen to pop up with a game. Once that game is defeated, another will pop up and another and another until your character gets hungry/has to pee/is so done with this shit.
PHASE II
[ xx:xx ] Among the game rotations is a simple 8-bit fortune telling game starring Aria, the fortune teller. Come be enchanted by her mysterious wiles as she reads your future. She will do some 8-bit arm motions before summoning a ring of cards that will float around her. Characters will be encouraged to pick a card -any card. Once one has been selected, it will turn around slowly and unveil a card from the major arcana. Aria will then give your character their fortune, and that will be that. End of game. Onto the next!
PHASE III
[ xx:xx ] You’ve left the testing center, and the evening has passed. As you wake up to perform your normal daily tasks, a niggling urge emerges at the back of your mind. It’s faint at first, just a whisper of a suggestion that pokes at your brain like a mosquito bite. However, that bite starts to grow bigger and become infectious. As the day wears on, you find that one little suggestion escalating. The next day is even worse. It starts to dominate your every thought, making you carry out actions you never thought yourself capable of. Who is this person in the mirror? Who have you become?
PHASE IV
[ xx:xx ] By day three, the impulse is now a full-blown addiction. It’s set into your psyche completely. You’ve become something else entirely –the embodiment of the card. You will be acting out everything without anymore resistance, and it won’t stop until the clock strikes midnight. That’s when you’ll reel back to your senses, and when it’ll all have felt like the worst dream ever. Or a nightmare really.
BONUS
[ why:o'clock ] Among all the games present, there is also an 8-bit version of CERESLearn. Yes, you remember the magical game that won your hearts over not too long ago. It will come complete with the same rules. You choose a subject, you choose an 8-bit teacher among the three (Astor), (Hilda), or (UN-Zippy), and you watch them as they try to erotically teach you what you want to learn. Is that an 8-bit boob or her arm? Who knows? But beware… as you may remember, these teachers house a very terrible secret.

They will transform into an 8-bit giant bug that will chase around your protag as you guide them to run away with your finger, but you can also flick the bug on the holo(gm) screen to send them away for good. Those who figure out that little cheat code will immediately receive a special real-time shoulder rub as a reward from a robot that looks eerily like a carbon copy of their teacher of choice.

( from here )

[ for real... why does she have to explain this... ]

You know what a queen or a king is, don't you? It's basically that with another name attached, to make things more complicated.

[ there's a hint of disinterest as she speaks--human things, after all. human things that don't particularly hit her. way to be simple and lazy with the response, milla. ]

What that has to do with me or a card? Who knows.

littlestbaskerville: ablublublu you're a meanie!! (✿ i'm just looking for the sky that i -)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-21 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...they are in charge! Oh, that makes sense.

[Lily doesn't have the slightest clue about most of this card stuff.]

The fortune lady is just weird then.

Which fits with just about everything else that's here.

[ weird, weird, and more weird. add in some "annoying" here and there, dash of "tedious"… that's cereal. ]

So, don't worry about her. Whatever she told you, it didn't mean anything, just like it didn't mean anything for me.
littlestbaskerville: uuu master glen dreamy sigh (✿ sadness will be far away.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-24 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

[Nodding, she can totally agree with that.]

Okay, thank you Milla...

[personal profile] souperb 2015-01-27 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
It's... It's just the truth. That doesn't need any thanking.

[ but inside of her prickly shell there is a hint of warmth--she's glad she could help, at least, with this.

topic change, though, to focus on because.... she's feeling the shy. ]


Are you hungry?
littlestbaskerville: you should've put a ring on it! (✿ a devil brand‚ a cut on your throat.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-27 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
It you say so...

[Lily looks like she could careless, she wants to thank Milla. She's really nice to her.

On the new topic Lily nods her head rather quickly.]


Yes!

[personal profile] souperb 2015-01-31 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ pfft. then, obviously, she knows the next place they need to go. ]

We could eat something around here, if you want, but I also have food I made at home that's probably a lot better.

[ she'd rather feed someone her own food, and eat her own food, than eat this mediocre stuff honestly… ]

It's up to you.
littlestbaskerville: and i want sweets leT'S GET SOME SWEETS (✿ you will dance with me‚ yeah!)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-02-02 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Food is always good with Lily! At the mention of Milla's cooking though she light up again.]

I wanna try your food!
