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.

[She has before and he normally isn't this bad...sometimes.]

It won't kill though! He's mine. I live with him too.
sunshrouded: (☀ o shit lemme call u back)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-01-17 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . . well, that sounds familiar. It's the first hint that Tenka actually picks up on that Lily's been affected by something in this world.]

Lily....

Are you... okay with being hurt then?
littlestbaskerville: GET OUT (✿ burn my dread.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-17 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Lily looks baffled for a moment. Anything the world is doing is lost to her right now all she knows is that she doesn't want to lose any friends.]

...

[Blinking she shakes her head briefly.]

No, I don't like it.
sunshrouded: (☀ this is a mass text)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-01-17 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
But you forgive him every time?

[It's something that Tenka has issues with too. A person can cut him up so many times over and he'll forgive them. They can betray him and he'll accept them back into his heart. That's fine for him.

But he doesn't want that life for Lily.]

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-17 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
He's never shot me before...he can be mean but he's never hurt me.

[The person that first shot her isn't here. Though the hatter is here and he was much, much worse.

Lily was forgiving though, she would let Reim be her friend still...in fact she wants it more than anything.]
sunshrouded: (☀ you said they were minions of evil)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-01-17 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . and Tenka just sighs at that, not understanding her rationale. He'll speak to Vincent himself later but for right now he just hugs her tight again.]

Just make sure he doesn't shoot you again....

If he does, Ten-nii will get angry, okay?
littlestbaskerville: nope not crazy i've got no idea what you're talking about (✿ of dreams that blossomed inside -)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-18 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[After this was over with she would be begging forgiveness from Tenka. Right now the influence of the card is just too over powering for her mind. Hugging him back a little tighter she doesn't show signs of letting go.]

Okay, I will let you know!

Ne, Ten-nii...I want to play a game with you!
sunshrouded: (☀ my signature was forged??)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-01-19 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . .he blinks at that, tilting his head.]

Ah- sure, Lily-chan.

But for right now, you need to get cleaned up, alright?
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8737379)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-19 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[It seems like a great plan to her. One that she's very keen on doing even when he mentions the mess. For a moment she remains quiet before she nods her head softly.]

Yeah, that would be good.

[The blood was starting to dry and get itching in some places.]
sunshrouded: (☀ eating my chicken nuggets)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-01-19 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Thank goodness. He sighs in relief at that and this is the moment where he's probably brought her back to the apartment. Somehow they managed to miss Sousei and Tenka's grateful for that.

So he enters and carries Lily right over to the bathroom.]


How long have you been wandering around like this, Lily-chan....?
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8627689)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-19 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Lily hadn't been to Tenka's home before...though he did say she was always welcome, right? It makes her strangely happy for him to bring her there himself though. Although it might ultimately be a mistake on the man's part.

In the bathroom she looks around, the layout is different than her own home.]


Maybe an hour? It's doesn't hurt now.
sunshrouded: (☀ our party was the most epic party)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-01-20 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tenka doesn't really hesitate to grab a spare towel and wet it now, making sure it's warm water too. How many times had he taken Chuutarou in from a long day of playing and been the one to clean him up when he was younger? Though this time it's blood and not mud - and that is a little off-putting.

But still, he just offers Lily a smile to try to pick up the atmosphere a bit.]


A whole hour? Wow, my Lily-chan's such a brave girl!
littlestbaskerville: nope not crazy i've got no idea what you're talking about (✿ of dreams that blossomed inside -)
