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.

harepiece: (nobody raise your voices)

he never asked for this life but it keeps finding him...

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-01-16 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
[THAT IS a really weird series of statements to follow one right after the other so rapidly, and Oz is already feeling a little concerned...]

Who—? Lily, you might need to go to the hospital... [Because WHO KNOWS how well Baskervillean healing works in Cerealia. He knows that his own functions pretty decently, but it seems like a gamble anyway.

He'll mop away some of the blood with his sleeve cuff, brow furrowed. That last question...]
I'd like it if we could be. [BUT BEING FRIENDS CAN'T HEAL BULLET WOUNDS.]
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8627690)

Hard manga hero life....

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-16 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[It made perfect sense to Lily right now...later it might not though, they would have to see.]

Who? [The word is echoed as she looks to the ground then back up in thought.] Vincent...he wouldn't stay with me.

[At the mention of a hospital she looks really confused for a moment.]

Why do we have to go there? [Smiling she lets him wipe the blood away, the bullet hole is reduced to a small hole that was bleeding slowly now.] We are friend Oz! Forever!
harepiece: (it's a trying time)

someone's gotta do it...

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-01-17 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
[AND THERE GO THE ALARM BELLS. Oz has run into enough people by now to be Very Concerned by this sort of behavior, because he's seen the kind of crazy that strangers and friends alike have been capable of over the past few days and it is just Not Pretty.

He'll deal with Stabs McGee Nightray later. For now, dealing with Lily should definitely be high priority...]


Right - we're friends, but you still need to get that looked at, okay? That's all right, isn't it? I can go with you.
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8627708)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-18 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[The concern was in well placement with Lily right now since she could be crazy without influence. The cards affect was only amplifying things, though she was never yandera, thankfully.

For now she is happy to be the center of Oz's attention.]


I'll only go if you go...and promise no one else will go!
harepiece: (refuge)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-01-18 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Oz can only be vaguely glad that Lily is the first yandere that he's run into... ONE IS ENOUGH.]

It'll only be the two of us, okay? Will you go?
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8627690)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-18 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
[One is more than enough for anyone, especially since she won't let him be near anyone else.]

Okay, I'll go Oz. [Her happiness is almost creepy now.]
harepiece: (no you shit)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-01-18 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
[muffled how could this happen to me playing in the distance...

NO OKAY, Oz is definitely concerned, but is a little more worried about the potential health hazards of being severely injured in Cerealia than he is about Lily's behavior. That will take a front seat after her injuries have been seen...]


Can you walk? [He will CARRY HER ALL THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL otherwise.]
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8627689)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-18 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[you made a lot of mistakes my friend...

Walk? Lily stands to her feet and nods. It wasn't too difficult to walk at the moment. Her head hurts but it wasn't too bad, besides it looking like she should be dead. Lily would never object to being carried but right now she could walk at least.

Instead she grabs his hand and holds it tight.]


I can walk, Oz.
harepiece: (dressed all in algae)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-01-18 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Which he lets her do, because who wouldn't want to hold hands with a yandere maniac?? No it's because he's seriously worried she might collapse or wander off in a dazed stupor otherwise...]

All right. Let me know if you can't and I'll carry you, okay?

[But TIME TO SET OFF toward the hospital!!]
littlestbaskerville: climbing up master glen's cloak brb (✿ on blood red stained silk sheets.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-18 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fingers still clinging to his hand, she looks up at him expecting him to know where they are headed. Lily's never been to a doctor before so this was all new for her...it seems weird go to one still but if Oz wants to do it she will.]

Okay! I'll let you know!

[Walking with him, the wound was closing though still bleeding. Head wounds always bled a lot for more people.]
harepiece: (thrown to the waters)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-01-19 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
[He's definitely keeping an eye on that as they go, brow creased with concern.]

It doesn't feel any different than usual, does it? Your wound...

[Because he can at least stop worrying a little if nothing feels off. It doesn't look much different than what he's used to either, which is probably a good sign.]
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8627689)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-19 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Blue eyes focus on the road between the glances she throws towards Oz.]

Hm? [Lily moves her hand up to touch the spot. The hole is pretty much gone but it feels sore. Weird...back home it would be a little faster. It must be that she's tired.]

It's sore.
harepiece: (christmas lights guy hates his job)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-01-19 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
[OZ STILL FEELS PAIN even if the injuries go away, and the soreness for his own gunshot wound had lasted long after the injury itself had mostly healed, so his brow furrows a little. Baskervillean healing is probably closer to being "perfect", after all.]

Is that not normal?
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8627689)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-20 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Pain was there with Baskervilles too, it just seemed to leave more quickly. Though if it's severe enough it still hurts for longer. Her gun wound was weird to hurt still but it might be because she was pumped with adrenaline and she fell from a window.]

Kinda?
harepiece: (thrown to the waters)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-01-20 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[WELL THAT'S NOT A GOOD START. He makes a little noise of concern, adjusting his grip on her hand slightly.]

Then it really would be a good idea to have someone take a look at that.
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8627689)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-20 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[It might be best to get it check, though she really just wants to be alone with Oz.]

...if you say so, Oz.
harepiece: (it's a trying time)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-01-20 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[GOOD ENOUGH. He sighs, and it's a little harried-sounding because he sure has had to deal with a lot of crazy stuff in an even smaller timeframe than he's used to.

That said, while he's got one crazy here, there's another potential one who's on the loose, SO:]


Do you know where Vincent went? Is he still in your apartment?
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8627715)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-20 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[There was a lot of trust in Oz as she follows and clings to his hand. It was kind of interesting to see someone that was supposed to be an enemy helping her. If or when Lottie arrives she will have to inform her.

Right now though she wasn't going to share Oz with anyone.]


I don't know? He might have left...why, Oz?
