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.

Phase IV

[ Mikami thinks he can't trust his eyes anymore. There is no way a child like her should be standing up still with a head wound of this extend - this should apply even 112 year old children who summon dogs somehow, right? Maybe the realm of possibility isn't what he should be thinking about here though... No, most definitely not. Because... ]

Lily!

[ He's not shouting but there is a strong urgency in his voice as he approaches her. ]

Don't move more than necessary when you're hurt like this!

[ More pressing questions like 'why' or 'how' will need to wait until the extend of the situation is examined. ]

[For Baskervilles this kind of wound was nothing, well not nothing, but not enough to kill. It did hurt and then pieces of glass on her were inconvenient but right now she was more annoyed than anything. All so wanted to do was to show Vincent that he was her...what a difficult man.

She was about to move forward when she hears a familiar voice and she turns to face the direction it came from.

It was Teru...her friend.]


Teru?
inordertobelieve: (why do i have so much hair)

[personal profile] inordertobelieve 2015-01-16 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Now is also not the time to tell her that he'd much prefer to be called by last name, huh...? At this rate he'll never make it.

Mikami gives a nod. ]


Yes, it's me.

[ At least she's lucid enough to recognize him right away. ]

You need a doctor.

[ He kneels down in front of her, repulsed by the mess the blood is making but repressing it as he tries to get a look at the wound. ]

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-16 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Probably not the best time and Japanese names are still a wonder to her.]

...my friend!

[She sounds really happy about this but probably not a good thing for him.]

Why?

[Why did she need to see one of those? Lily doesn't even flinch when he looks at the bullet hole. All that's really left is a small bleeding hole now, the rest seems to have begun to heal.]
inordertobelieve: (what a pouty prosecutor)

[personal profile] inordertobelieve 2015-01-16 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Mikami frowns - such a small wound shouldn't have made this much of a mess at all. There is something off here. Briefly he wonders if all of that is her own blood, but then he casts it aside as a useless thought. ]

Because that's what you do first when you get hurt. Preserve your safety.

[ Except... this doesn't look as life threatening as it should. He's relieved as much as mystified. ]

Don't you feel pain?
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8627689)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-16 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[It was her own blood, but anyone that didn't know her abilities could reasonably question it. Lily just continues to stare at Teru.]

Oh...I've never been to one.

[She has no clue what they would do for her even.]

It hurt when he shot me, but it's okay now.
inordertobelieve: (judging the porn actually)

[personal profile] inordertobelieve 2015-01-16 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Shot her.

There is a pause and Mikami just... blinks. Because this is honestly so surreal to hear from the mouth of a seeming little girl that he needs to take a moment to adjust. Then 'never been to a doctor' registers as an afterthought and it does nothing to lessen his disturbance. Who even raised this kid... immortal kid... person.... ]


Who shot you?

[ His eyes visibly darken when he asks. ]
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8627689)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-16 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[This wasn't her first time being shot so she says it without much emotion. It was upsetting that he didn't want to be her's...but she will take care of that soon enough. Teru was her friend too he might be more ready to be his.]

Vincent, he fought me but he's my friend.
inordertobelieve: (leave the past behind)

[personal profile] inordertobelieve 2015-01-20 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's a downright bizarre statement, but Mikami is more concerned with the lack of last name given. 'Vincent'. There could be one Vincent or 20 in the colony, but this particular one should definitely be arrested for shooting a kid.

He considers pressing the matter now, but then he realizes they're still out in the middle of the street and Lily, still covered in blood, does not seem willing or maybe able to give out any relevant information in a consistent string of thoughts. Mikami takes a deep breath. ]


People who fight you generally aren't what you'd call friends.

[ 'That's called abuse' he adds in his mind. A sigh. ]

You need to get cleaned up at least. [ And then we can be reasonable and rational about this, clearly. ]
littlestbaskerville: nope not crazy i've got no idea what you're talking about (✿ of dreams that blossomed inside -)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-20 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lily doesn't think about anything like arresting the man. Instead she things about how to make the man her's.

However, this man gets her attention easily enough though. He was her friend too and she doesn't really want anyone else new him right now.]


He's from my home though...we're friend though, right?

[She smiles at him as she nods.]

Okay!
