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.

Elliot Nightray

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-21 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[More or less she could belong to a horror set at this point. It would probably be an amazing take for the movie for that matter. Especially if anyone say the way she flew from the window. Vincent was good at one thing and that was pushing someone away. Bravo to the blond.

Regardless of that Lily puts her focus onto the Nightray know his name from memory. This boy was Vincent's adoptive brother, not the one she threatened. That was one of her first mistakes when she arrived in this world. Vincent was rather quick to correct that error. Still the person before her does seem concerned.]


I tried to let him know he was mine...he wanted me to leave, I don't wanna.

[Then he says the name of the person and she zones in on him. There is a spike of danger. He was Vincent's brother...did he want to separate them?]

...yes. Are you?
meriter: (tfw you're dead)

[personal profile] meriter 2015-01-21 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ THAT'S KIND OF NUTS, LILY ............ too bad he isn't all that informed on Vincent's current state of crazy besides his involvement with Leo, but that's a whole other matter entirely. Maybe it'd be a good idea to catch up with the current state of affairs.

He is genuinely concerned, just like he was when those children in Isla Yura's mansion came swinging at him with the full-blooded intent to decapitate him, but he admittedly doesn't handle yanderes very well??? It's all too transparent at the shock momentarily transposed over his features before he levels out the larger portion of his utter incomprehension to reply in full coherence.

ANYWAYS, now that he's found a convenient loophole to dodge that emotionally-charged question: ]
Was Vincent the one who inflicted that injury on you?
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8627689)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-21 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Lily was normally not a yandere, she was more naive most of the time. So Elliot could thank this place for this lovely event with Lily. At least she still couldn't die easier, though there was probably someway to kill her if needed. More so with Break here now.

Regardless she fixes her gaze onto Elliot, ready to summon her chain if he seems like he might take what's her's. Luckily for the other he asks a better question and it causes her to loosen up, even just a tad. Still watching him she nods her head in reply before she speaks, working on trying to wipe some blood away from her eyes.]


Yes...he was being weird. [Well...more than usual.]
meriter: (would you look at all those mangos)

[personal profile] meriter 2015-01-22 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Good thing she isn't a possessive, stalker-esque killer on the daily ...

He's truly out of the loop, because as far as he's concerned she's just some misguided child with a penchant for hanging with the wrong crowd. But considering he'd already seen such a large outcropping of people arriving from their world lately, maybe he'd finally rout out the answer to these crazy shenanigans once and for all.

Awkwardly, Elliot searches his pockets to retrieve a hankerchief and pass it over to Lily, who's clearly having a fine and dandy time wiping her face free of blood. ]


That doesn't make sense. In all the years I've known him, I've never seen him react violently to a child once.

[ LITTLE DID HE KNOW ... ]

... Weird how?
littlestbaskerville: climbing up master glen's cloak brb (✿ on blood red stained silk sheets.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-24 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[That could make things complicated, especially with Leo being Master Glen and now here.

The loop was so much harder to understand. Lily was happy with the Baskervilles though, they were her family...she loves them. After all her real family wasn't something that many would ever want to deal with.

For a moment she stops wiping the blood away, instead she reaches and grabs the handkerchief. Unfolding it she presses it to her face and gets the blood away from her eyes.]


...He's a Baskerville...he's my friend and mine.

[The little bit about violence towards children is lost to her for the moment.]

He told me I should leave.
meriter: (why are you the way you are)

[personal profile] meriter 2015-02-04 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I figured, yes.

[ Not that he's all that aware of the company Vincent keeps or that his brother's a literal psychopath, but it's just like Elliot to jump to conclusions without proper evidence or much of a lead beyond plain instinct. He just casually averts his gaze while Lily dabs away at her face, hastily shoving his hands into his pockets. ]

I'm sure he had a reason. My brother isn't one to present himself unreasonably. If you'd like, I could ask him myself for the reason he turned you away. At the time, he may have merely been preoccupied with other matters.
littlestbaskerville: no baby don't cry let me love you (✿ thirst for mutual love.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-02-04 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
...figured?

[This man was sharp...she is more cautiousness now about him being around her friends. She doesn't want him to get too close, it will create problems for her. Whether they are adoptive family or not! For now she focuses on her face and pulls the hankie away when she gets most of the blood off.]

He came out of no where tell me to go. No. I can do it.
meriter: (en garde motherfucker)

feel free to ignore, i'm so sorry ;;;;;

[personal profile] meriter 2015-03-07 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, figured. My brother isn't so reckless a person that he'd do things for no reason.

[ Hands caught at his sides, he turns back at last, staring evenly at her. It occurs to him that he still doesn't know much about her, in all truth and honesty. ]

Suit yourself, then.

[ And with that he's off down the street because the last thing he wants is to get in the middle of some internal dispute — Vincent would hate the intrusion, and that girl, in her current state, seems more inclined to throttle him than pay him any real heed. ]
littlestbaskerville: YOU TOO FANG (✿ my sadness diminished to one-half.)

You're fine!!! <3

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-09 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
...He's acting different.

[Honestly she was too but it was weird, he was mean to her but never like this.]

...huh?

[She watches as he turns to leave. There was a sinking feeling in her gut, he might try to go towards her friends. She can't have that! So she starts to follow him.]
meriter: (looks like it's ass for dinner again)

i'm so not but you're so kind?!?!

[personal profile] meriter 2015-03-14 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn't concern me. If Vincent decided to shut you out, he may change his mind later on. I've never seen him bear an unjustified grudge against anyone.

[ Ha, ha, ha.

He tacks on his frustration like an addendum. Normally he would pursue something like this, but Vincent helped him decide what course of action he wanted to take at the eleventh hour, gave him a choice when there shouldn't have been any at all. Anyways, it's better if he brings Leo around first — given the strange way they've spoken of each other as of late, he'd know what the hell's up with everyone nowadays.

In the same regard, he pulls up short as soon as he spots that girl still traipsing along the wake of his shadow until he pivots, sharp on his heel, to accost her. ]


... What? Do you need help getting to the hospital?

[ ELLIOT, NO, THAT'S NOT HOW YOU SHOULD TALK TO CHILDREN ... but he is a big baby about everything anyways, so ... is this really unexpected ... ]
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8737382)

Liiies <3 You are amazing!

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-17 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
...Vincent does do weird things.

[But he's also her friend, not yours Elliot. Remember that!

The sudden turn nearly makes her fall over before she grounds herself. Looking up at him, there is still a haze to her gaze before she looks around them. Then back to Elliot. It was true, she didn't know where the place was nor did she really want to go there. It wasn't something that seemed like fun.]


Never been to one.
meriter: (what in the blazes did you just call me)

[personal profile] meriter 2015-03-18 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
You've never been to a hospital?

[ Completely ignoring the first portion of her reply, he sure does latch onto the latter, because the disparity of a girl covered in blood and her insensibility to anything resembling professional care is just too disconcerting for a Victorian nerd. ]

I'll take you there, then. Even if your wounds aren't as terrible as they appear, they should still be examined properly first before drawing assumptions. Follow me.
littlestbaskerville: i'm too young for a tattoo? blasphemy! (✿ we will be who we are.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-18 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
N-No?

[This man is so excitable...for a moment she's not sure how to respond to the reaction. Lily was usually the one to bounce from one thing to another it's a little weird to have someone else do it.]

Okay? ...What will they do there?
meriter: (what in the blazes did you just call me)

[personal profile] meriter 2015-03-27 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ THIS POOR CHILD ... Elliot blanches, eventually receding back a few paces to clutch the small clasp of her palms in his and press on forward. ]

What else?! They'll look after that gaping wound in your head! You can't be serious — if you leave it out in the open like this, it'll surely become infected. And I'll be damned if I stand idly by while you bleed out on the streets.
littlestbaskerville: except what is a yandere pot i'm in that pot too (✿ you're already in high spirits.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-30 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[The sudden hand holding throws her for a loop but she slowly grips it back. What was this guy doing??]

...are they scary?
meriter: (no way it's ACTUALLY)

[personal profile] meriter 2015-03-30 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's dragging her away to a hospital whether she likes it or not, of course. What else??? ]

I don't know. My family has our own private physician, and I've never been in inordinately bad health before.

[ Save for Sablier and everything that subsequently came after, but whatever. ]

Are you scared? There's nothing to be afraid of.
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8737382)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-31 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[So much confusion going on in her head right now.]

I've never needed to see one!

[Baskervilles really didn't get sick as far as she knew...]

N-No! [In reality she kind of is, she has not idea what to expect.]
meriter: (truly enlightening)

[personal profile] meriter 2015-04-01 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'll be there, so you have nothing to worry about.

[ OBVIOUSLY. ] Then that's something that's changing today. Is that clear? I'm not leaving you here by yourself.
littlestbaskerville: i'm too young for a tattoo? blasphemy! (✿ we will be who we are.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-04-01 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
...okay.

[She is still unsure but if he won't leave.]

Promise?
meriter: (en garde motherfucker)

[personal profile] meriter 2015-04-03 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sure, fine. I won't leave. Just don't strain yourself. We should get there in no time.

[ THAT SETTLED, he sets their sights on the hospital — he's been here for quite a while, so he's more than acquainted with the general radius. Even if she isn't that shocked by the wound bleeding out in thick rivulets down her forehead, he is. Having a moral backbone sucks. ]
littlestbaskerville: climbing up master glen's cloak brb (✿ on blood red stained silk sheets.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-04-03 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Good.

[The hole was already pretty much closed but there was some blood remaining despite what she wiped away.]
