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.

[ That frown you saw? Totally non-existent. Take this giant smile, because nothing is clearly wrong! ]

I'm fine! [ That may have been said a bit too loud. It's instinct. ] Someone put some stuff in my eyes, and they were hurting, but everything's okay now.
projections: (sᴜʀᴘʀɪsᴇ)

[Wow okay there. That's a big smile you have Athena! Shirou's surprised to see it.]

There's no problem if you're fine. I'm Shirou. To be honest I feel awkward not introducing myself after coming this far.

What's your name?
psycholawgy: (but who cares about that bish?)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-01-17 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Athena Cykes. It's nice to meet you.

[ She's done crying, and she wipes the tears left in her palms on her skirt, then holds a hand out to shake. ]

Good evening, Athena. Yeah, it's a pleasure to meet you. [Shirou politely shakes Athena's hand.]

I think you're around my age. How old are you exactly?
psycholawgy: (viva!)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-01-17 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
I'm eighteen.

[ And after shaking Shirou's hand, she claps hers together in delight. ]

And I'm glad that I don't have to be a student here!
projections: unmarked icons by <user name=projections> do not thanks! (remind me why im rping hf again)

[personal profile] projections 2015-01-17 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
You're the same age as me. I'm relieved to hear that. A couple of acquaintances of mine tell me that I act like an old man. [Shirou refuses to believe that he's old.] Wouldn't you think that you're still young at eighteen? I beg to differ.

It's true, you don't have to be a student here Athena. But you don't miss attending classes at all?
psycholawgy: (drinking vodka all night long)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-01-17 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ She's not sure what a young person acting like an old man is like, but somehow, she's not overly curious. If people called Shirou that, then maybe she'll realise that he wants her off his lawn at some point. Although if it's about acting responsibly, then she knows a lot about that. After all, she works with a high school student who's already making her own income.

But that person also has an irresponsible father. ]


I just finished law school, actually. I'm done with classes for now.

[ She's also been told that she's too young to be in her field right now, but she's very determined to show people that they're wrong. Age has nothing to do about capabilities! ]

[personal profile] projections 2015-01-17 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
Congratulations on finishing law school. [Athena's so productive and smart. Maybe Shirou can learn from her and hope he doesn't become an old man.]

I'm studying law myself and I have some more work to do. I hope I can follow you and finish my studies later.

[Oh yeah this might interest Athena. Shirou figures he should mention it.]

There's a prosecutor here who calls himself Miles Edgeworth. Have you met him by any chance?
psycholawgy: (and every night there is music)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-01-17 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's okay to be an old man, Shirou. You'll get free stuff for being a senior! And while Athena shows respect to the elderly, she even shows more respect to aspiring old man lawyers. Because lawyers are cool. ]

That's really awesome!

[ She unpins her attorney's badge from her lapel to show it to Shirou. ]

I just got this, so it's still all shine, no grime. If you work hard now, you'll be able to get a dirty attorney's badge right off the bat!

[ That doesn't sound all too appealing, but it's beaten up badges that show your worth as a lawyer! She pins it back to her lapel once she feels that Shirou's gotten a good look at it. ]

Oh, and yeah, I do know Mr. Edgeworth. [ He might seem like just a postscript, since she's just too excited to talk about law, but Edgeworth is just as big of a topic as her badge. ] He and my boss are good friends.

I'm behind on my studies because I couldn't attend school for a while. That just means I have to work even harder. [Wait what.]

Do they hand out dirty badges when you're finished with school? [Aren't they supposed to be clean?] You lost me. I don't understand why they're dirty to begin with.

So you do know that guy. Edgeworth seems reliable and trustworthy.
psycholawgy: (hey! brother! oh!)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-01-18 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but if you work hard enough, you could probably request for a dinky old badge right away!

[ But most likely not. She seems to be serious about it, anyway, but it's all just in good fun. ]

I can't say I know Mr. Edgeworth really well, though. He seems kind of old-fashioned to me.
projections: unmarked icons by <user name=projections> do not thanks! (when does shit make sense in fsn)

[personal profile] projections 2015-01-20 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll consider it.

[No he won't, but he's just going along with it too. Shirou hands Athena back her badge. The world of law is still a mystery to him. It's filled with badge problems apparently.]

I can see where you're coming from, Athena. Did you know that Edgeworth's experienced in combat? He can fight outside of a court.
