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.

Rock Lee!

[...that means she's too old right? There is momentary disappointment, but Mabel isn't one to stay down for too long anyway. So she bounces back almost immediately when he mentions training her.]

I'm basically over flowing with spirit! I am the most spirited gal around, I guarantee it! So...so if you could really teach me, and really would, I would really, really love that! I would do my absolute best, cross my heart and hope to die!

[Mabel is beaming. Her smile is quite possibly brighter than the sun at this point.]
niceguypose: (overjoyed)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-01-22 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[He felt really guilty at that moment of disappointment; but when she bounces back, it's so hearfelt! Rock Lee does his best to smile as brightly as he can to match her. She's such an adorable person! He might even be starting to tear up.]

I can tell that just by looking at you! I believe in you and your spirit! I would be glad to teach you... at the least, I can teach you to fight with taijutsu! For that, you must be prepared to work hard!
ineptus: (36 ❤; Aηɗ ѕнσσт ιт тняσυgн уσυя νєιηѕ)

[personal profile] ineptus 2015-01-22 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
You are looking at a very hardworking girl! I would be really happy to learn! Oh wait- [Hold on, there's a better word to use here, right?]

I'd be honored! Honored if you would teach me taijutsu! I will work as hard as I need to, don't you worry!

[There is so much determination in her voice as she says that. She's confident she can do whatever needs to be done. She's never failed when she's set her mind to things before!]
niceguypose: (friendly)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-01-22 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
A- an honor?! [He practically squeals at that, and he quickly bows.]

No, Miss, the greatest honor will be to teach you! I can only hope that I prove to be a splendid teacher. May I please also have the honor of knowing your name?
ineptus: (20 ❤; Ƈιту fσg αηɗ вяανє ɗιαƖσgυє)

[personal profile] ineptus 2015-01-24 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
No no! It's definitely an honor getting to learn from you!

[She sort of awkwardly bows in return, because that is how these things go. She wasn't sure, after all you can only take cartoons so seriously, but it must be okay...]

Oh! I'm Mabel! I can't believe I didn't introduce myself or anything yet!! That was really rude of me sorry! Oh but, I need your name too you know! I can't just call you mister or teacher forever!

[A beat.]

Unless you would prefer I call you that!
niceguypose: (nice guy pose 2)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-01-24 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[He squeals lightly at her affirmation of the honor.]

That's alright! A lot has happened, so I understand if you forget a few things! [When he thinks about it, it must be so sad for a child be trapped here in this situation. He gives her a thumbs up.] I am very happy to meet you, Mabel-chhan! As for myself, my name...

[He pulls of a dramatic pose.]

...is Rock Lee! I am Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast! You can call me whatever you prefer to!
ineptus: (123 ☀; Aιη'т ιт fяєѕн)

[personal profile] ineptus 2015-01-24 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[...she is simply enamored. He is so cool. So cool. After a few awe-struck moments, she claps her hands and bounces on her toes a little.]

I'm really happy to meet you too! Would Rock Lee be okay then? Compared to a title like that it almost seems too simple! Though I don't know if I could call you something like "Wild Beast" either because you are really way too nice to be any sort of beast in my opinion! Beasts are always sooo....

[She makes fierce little claws out of her hands with an oh so ferocious "rawr" before melting into giggles.]
niceguypose: (I accept)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-01-24 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Rock Lee can't help but laugh at her little impression.]

You raise a very good point, Mabel-chan! But even a Wild Beast can be nice and use its strength to protect others in that way! Calling me Rock Lee or Beast... either one would be splendid!
ineptus: (91 ★; Ƭσ тнє єηɗ σf тнє ωσяƖɗ)

[personal profile] ineptus 2015-01-27 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
What about Rock Beast! Or Wild Lee! [There's a bright grin back in place as she suggests these.]

I think I'll call you Beast! At least until you get tired of it. Oh wait, Mr. Beast! Since you're technically my teacher now, right?
niceguypose: (nice guy pose)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-01-27 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Rock Lee usually misses jokes, but Mabel is so adorable that he manages to keep on laughing. Then he gives her a thumbs up.]

M- Mister? I am honored! If that is what you feel is best... I accept your name choice wholeheartedly!
ineptus: (142 ☀; Ɠяαв тнє ραρєѕ)

[personal profile] ineptus 2015-01-27 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
[She tries. Mabel just smiles brighter as he continues laughing, offering him an enthusiastic thumb up in return.]

Mr. Beast it is then!! I promise to be the best student you've ever had! Oh wait!

[She's just now realizing that doesn't know anything about this place...]

Have you been here long Mr. Beast? I don't know where anything really is yet so...where would we meet? And when? I have class and a job! But any other time would be okay.

[Paper, paper...patting herself down to see what she has in her sweater...]
niceguypose: (surprise)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-01-27 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Heheh... [He smiles at he thumbs up.] You just learned your first move, the 'nice guy pose'!

Ah... I have only come to this place today, however! I have three jobs! But one of them will be a martial arts instructor. I will send you my schedule when I have it! And then if you come to the gym while I am working here, that will be an ideal and youthful time!
ineptus: (174 ☀; Aηɗ уσυ'яє Ɩιкє)

[personal profile] ineptus 2015-01-27 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[EXCITEMENT! She gives him a thumbs up again, this time with far more purpose and enthusiasm. Look at her go!]

That sounds great to me! I'll be sure to visit a lot! A whole lot! You'll be sick of me you'll see me so much, except probably not because I'm adorable!
niceguypose: (proud nice guy pose)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-01-27 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[He flashes the thumbs up right back at her. With determination!]

I have just met you, Mabel-chan, but I think it is impossible to be sick of you! I agree that you are adorable, however, and I look forward to all of your visits!
