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.

[ continued from here! ]

...Bushy brows...!

[ THERE'S SOME TEARS INVOLVED.

It's manly tears don't worry. Either ways he's going to put both his hand on Lee's shoulders and nods.

THANK GOD THERE'S NO SUNSET SCENE THAT COMES WITH THIS. ]


LET'S DO OUR BEST TOGETHER!

[ TOO LOUD. ]
niceguypose: (crying pose)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-01-25 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yosh! [Manly tears of course, Lee's cheeks are pretty much waterlogged with them already.

But no, Naruto. No. You do not escape this. The backdrop becomes a sunset as they look at each other emotionally.]


Bring us a better tomorrow, Naruto-kun!! Then we'll be home again, and enjoying the war's end!!

[personal profile] sagemodes 2015-01-28 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ GOOD THING THERE'S NO ONE TO SEE THIS SCENE BECAUSE IT'S REALLY EMBARRASSING.

Either ways there's a record scratch as Naruto heard Lee said something he's not even sure about. What did he just... say...? ]


Bushy brows— Lee, what do you last remember?

[ The once light grip suddenly turned a bit tighter as Naruto's face slid back into a serious face.

There might be a discrepancy on their memories here. ]
niceguypose: (intent)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-01-28 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[OR REALLY YOUTHFUL

Rock Lee looks on in confusion. Naruto looks so serious now... Did he say something wrong? He hesitantly answers.]


Ah... I remember looking after Gai-Sensei at Konoha. It hasn't been long since we returned home from the war! [He leaves out that the most recent memory was Neji's funeral, because it's too hurtful for him to bring up.

But he finds himself glancing towards one of Naruto's arms in further confusion. Did Tsunade-sama work so fast...?]
sagemodes: (Naruto // What did you say?)

[personal profile] sagemodes 2015-01-30 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
...

[ Then there's a chance that Bushy Brows could really come from the aftermath of everything, or that he might still be stuck in a dream. Either ways, there's not enough of a qualifier to tell him whether the war is really over or not.

Only one way to find out. ]


...Bushy Brows, the last thing I remembered was fighting Sasuke to get him to undo the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

[ ... ]

The war wasn't over then.
niceguypose: (concerned)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-01-30 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
W-what?! But... That already happened! Your fight... It finished! And you undid that Infinite Tsukuyomi. [He frowns, remembering what it felt like to be released from the dream of his desires.]

Don't you remember...? You saved us all.
sagemodes: (pic#8505457)

[personal profile] sagemodes 2015-02-01 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, Bushy Brows, but looks like that ain't the case for me.

[ Then maybe he's just an earlier back up from his world? God these futuristic terms are confusing, but at the same time he wants to believe in Lee's words.

...Then again, even if Lee's really bombastic, he's a friend and he trusts in him despite everything so. ]


Can you answer me one more question? Did Sasuke get punched into his senses?
niceguypose: (listening)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-02-02 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[His eyebrows settle atop his eyes in confusion, like dark boars huddling for warmth, as he considers this.]

S- Sasuke-kun...? Ah, I am not sure if it happened in exactly that manner. I do not know the details. But I do know that... that the two of you fought, and then you worked together to help us.
sagemodes: (Naruto // A success is a success)

[personal profile] sagemodes 2015-02-03 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
....That's good enough for me.

[ He lets go of Bushy Brows with a small sigh, looks like he's in a bit more pickle than he realized regarding his time point. So Bushy Brows is from the future while he's from the past... well, that's kind of interesting. ]

Sorry, it's just that I had to make sure you weren't lying but... a Youthful person like you would never lie, so you're good!

[ THUMBS UP. Looks like he's back to normal again. ]
niceguypose: (crying pose)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-02-04 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Rock Lee beams at that, and he returns the thumbs up eagerly.]

Ah... I'm glad that you've appraised my youth so well, Naruto-kun! I owe so much to you, and I will fight by your side in this new world!
