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.

[He's fast! Peko's immediately on the defensive, though the way she ducks and twists, batting away his hands with shinai makes it seem like the practice sword is as much an extension of her own body as Lee's fists are to his.

She doesn't intend to stay on the defensive for long, though -- she has a longer reach with the sword, and intends to use it, stepping in for a brutal "stab" to his stomach, then a "slice" upward, something that could bisect him if he misses a block. Or if it were a real sword, which she is still wearing at her hip.]
niceguypose: (raging action)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-01-16 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's clearly skilled! It's fairly impressive, and Lee keeps up his offensive until Peko tries to turn the tables.

Unlike certain Uchihas, Lee manages to avoid a nearly hypothetical bisection. He steps back slightly as he blocks her stab, and then he tries to catch the tip of the shinai by trying to clap his hands around the tip during the slice, grunting majestically if successful.]
perfectstrike: (turn)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-01-16 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[He does manage to catch it, startling a surprised noise from the swordswoman. That's a ninja technique, and extremely hard to do! It doesn't faze her in the battle, though -- it's a bamboo sword, not a katana, so she releases her two-handed grip on the hilt and sidesteps in, quickly grabbing the "blade" again between her hands and using it as leverage to hurl a strong side kick, aiming directly for Lee's floating ribs. Let go of her sword!]
niceguypose: (ready to fight)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-01-17 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Once she marks the surprised noise, he spares a smug grin. Her actions do confuse him, but then the kick connects!]

Ack! [But he keeps his hold on the tip and gives a sharp tug, trying to pull her back with the not!sword.]
perfectstrike: (determined)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-01-17 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[She actually lets out a short huff of air, just short of a growl, and releases her grip on the shinai rather than risk getting pulled forward. Close combat is this boy's specialty, she's assuming. Let him have the shinai; if he chooses to keep it and use it against her, she's absolutely certain she'll defeat him. Instead, in the time she takes to leap backward, she reaches behind her to draw another practice sword, this one made of solid, hard wood.

She doesn't give him much time to decide whether to keep the shinai or drop it, immediately lunging back in with the wooden sword and swiping quickly for the knees and up.]
niceguypose: (puzzled)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-01-17 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Another wooden sword?! So full of surprises! Rock Lee simply tosses the shinai high up into the air, and as she goes for the knees, he flips through the air to land behind her. Once he lands, he will almost immediately be spinning around with his right leg hooking out to try to sweep her off the feet, and not in the moe way.]
perfectstrike: (resolve)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-01-17 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's her last practice sword! No huge weapon summons for this girl.

When he lands behind her, she immediately jabs back with the hilt of the sword -- and misses, thanks to him spinning into that hook kick. A muffled, irritated grunt as it connects, though she turns the fall into a roll backward to absorb the moment, leaping back to her feet with little difficulty.

Most people might engage in playful banter right about now, but not Peko. If anything, her eyes only burn with a harsher intensity as she lunges in again, continuing to pour her all into taking him out with quick, precise jabs and slashes.]
niceguypose: (determination)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-01-17 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[It'll land eventually! Somehow, somewhere.

He wad preparing to explout her fall, but then she takes the offensive! His buttery shoulders tense before he begins the process of blocking and dodging as quickly as he can, with a variety of noises being made as he does so. Despite being on the defense, he shouts assertively.]


I have strength!!!
perfectstrike: (hah)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-01-18 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Maybe someday!!

The noises don't seem to faze her, but the shout draws her attention as she huffs an almost-amused burst of air through her nose.]


As do I, but you are impressive.

[Doesn't mean she's going to let up on whatever offensive she has, at least for the moment.]

Where did you train?
niceguypose: (flexing)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-01-18 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[He smiles confidently as he keeps up his defensive, as swiftly as he can.]

Thank you! You are impressive too. I trained at Konoha... under the tutelage of Gai-Sensei!!

I've spent so much of my life training and proving myself! And now, all I have to do... is look at my muscles, to know my success! [He feels like he could grate an Uchiha against his abs.]
perfectstrike: (objection! | 意義あり!)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-01-20 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[HE PROBABLY COULD GRATE SEVERAL UCHIHA AGAINST HIS ABS you go Lee.]

Where, exactly, is that?

[She's certain she would have heard of a martial arts school that turns out such an accomplished fighter such as this kid.]

Were you never scouted by Hope's Peak?

[Like it seems hard to believe that he's not a Super High School Level something.]
niceguypose: (I accept)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-01-20 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Super High School Level Eyebrows.]

It is a hidden ninja village in the land of fire! Ah... I have never heard of Hope's Peak! What is that?
perfectstrike: (fighting)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-01-20 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
A ninja...

[This is actually kind of cool. She appreciates this kind of challenge, and also being able to stand toe to toe with him (at the moment).]

A high school dedicated to researching talent-- [And with that, she ducks and sweeps, trying to catch him off guard and knock him down.]

[edit: overflow here!]
