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.

Worry not!


littlestbaskerville: jack is a jerk he hit me on the head!! (✿ oh stop your crying it'll be all right)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-17 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[If she has to do better she's just have to do that!

Gripping at her cape she continues to look up at him.]


B-Because I want to have snacks with you!

[He's also tall and could reach some of the higher up items...but details.]

If Ten-nii likes you I want to like you too!
deontology: (I.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-01-17 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Those details....details that he would accept better than "I WANT TO LIKE YOU".

Because he doesn't know how to deal with that. He looks at her for a long moment, and then--]


I'm not interested.

[...oh.]

I am not hungry, and it would be a waste of time.
littlestbaskerville: REIM IS A MEANIE (✿ troubled &frightened of the future.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-18 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[It's truthful...she already kind of likes him but wants to know him more.

It's not working though...perhaps she should play the height card? That could work.]


But I'm too short to reach them all! Fang and Doug would carry me everywhere!
deontology: (V.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-01-19 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
[That's.......a mildly better reason, in Sousei's strange set of priorities. He gives her a flat look, because quite frankly--]

I am not going to carry you.

[....but on the flip side--]

If there is something you can't reach, I will assist you.

[that'll...make her leave him alone faster, right.]
littlestbaskerville: i'm totally and completely 100% innocent (✿ we'll fulfill our dreams &we'll be -)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-19 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Lily wants to pout but she doesn't do it instead she just nods.]

Okay.

[He can think that if he wants, but it's unlikely.]

That works! Thank you!
deontology: (LXIII.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-01-19 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[... he has such high hopes, even though he should know better by now. His expression is as flat as ever, though.]

...Are you certain you wish to eat this food? [He gives it a baleful look. None of this modern food looks edible...

(Not even the candy. What a boring adult.)]
littlestbaskerville: YAN YAN YAN (✿ i will pull your tangles out.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-19 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[This man needs to learn to smile more...maybe she can help with that. It's weird to think he's friends with Ten-nii, they are really different.]

Yes! It's really good! They have green tea cookies.

[Mister Ninja told her about that tea.]
deontology: (LXXVIII.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-01-19 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[...green tea cookies........... that sounds horrifying, and Sousei isn't sure he's ready for that sort of thing to exist.]

... I see.

[more...power to you for eating them, he supposes, but he's sure not going to have any.]

Then get what you want. [He doesn't want to say here much longer, what a buzzkill.]
littlestbaskerville: oh...... don't take my candy awa- (✿ you actually wanna say something.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-19 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! Mister Ninja tried them and they were really tasty. He told me about green tea too.

[She grins up at Sousei as she starts to point to a few things; like small pieces of steak, cookies and a cup of tea.]

Those all look really good!
deontology: (LXII.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-01-19 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
[... Well, he has to admit she's so small that she probably can't reach everything on the table...

.. .... ... He grabs a plate. He did say he would help, and the sooner they get her the food she wants, the sooner he can leave. It's totally not because she needs help. That'd be silly.]


That is what you want?
littlestbaskerville: nope i'm gonna marry master glen just you see (✿ don't try to look cool; believe in -)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-19 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
[It was hard, getting chairs proves a little difficult too. Too bad for Lily she would never get taller than this either.

She looks at the table again then points to some tuna salad.]


I wanna try that, please.
deontology: (LXIV.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-01-20 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[...Well. That's polite enough. It's a simple request, and he really doesn't find himself minding fulfilling it, so it's easy enough for him to grab some of the tuna salad for her on a plate.

Which he then offers to her.

OKAY TASK COMPLETED.]


I don't intend to stay here any longer. [but you know, you can follow him if you want.]
littlestbaskerville: YAN YAN YAN (✿ i will pull your tangles out.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-20 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Taking the plate she looks over it then back up to Sousei. When he mentions going she decides to tag along with him.

Lily follows behind him, munching on her food.]


What do you do back home? [Congrats you have a duckling Sousei.]
deontology: (LVIII.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-01-21 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[He.... did not ask for a duckling!! He did not ask for this life at all, honestly...

Sousei glances over his shoulder at her, but... well, he knows when there's someone who is rather persistent, and it'd be a waste of time to try to convince her not to follow him. Maybe she'll get bored.

But at least they're out of that building.]


... I am the captain of the Yamainu--we are a force intended to protect my country.

[Put in the simplest way possible, at least.]
