CERES itself has been notably quiet lately as they run their usual code recovery protocols, but the colony locals, who totally ripped off the company's name to put on CERESCON, are more than willing to step up their game. They've got something great planned for old friends, newbies who attended the convention, and even newer arrivals who only experienced the usual arrival: a massive group photoshoot with the intention of creating photobooks, calendars, and various other merchandise that can be sold. After all, regardless of what the you all think of CERES and vice versa, the locals love you guys! ...maybe a little too much.

The newest arrivals will be ushered onto a bus shortly after emerging from their powerpoint presentation and driven around the city so that they can see the sights and be joined by those who have been in the colony for longer (and those who just arrived but are retaining test drive memories). The bus will make stops at various residences and places of employment in the effort to round up as many people as possible, and they will use any means necessary to get you to join in on the fun, from bribery (did they mention that you'll get a free lunch before the shoot, a free dinner after the shoot, and royalties from the sale of merchandise your face appears on?!) to outright kidnapping for the more stubborn. If you really don't want to take part, escape is possible, but expect to be tailed by amateur photographers trying to snap candid photos of you for the rest of the day.

Upon arriving, everyone taking part will be treated to a delicious buffet-style lunch! Nothing too heavy, because they don't want anyone getting sick during the shoot, but they'll certainly make sure you're comfortable. This is a good chance to mingle with the new arrivals and meet people who have been in the colony that you haven't yet crossed paths with yet, so why not take a day off from work and have some fun? After all... CERES has nothing to do with this... right? What's the worst that could happen?

"LOOK THIS WAY, MY PRETTY!
AH YES, THAT'S YOUR GOOD SIDE...
AGAIN, AGAIN! HOLD THAT POSE... GOTCHA!
YOU'RE REALLY MAKING MY BLOOD RUSH NOW, NYA!
NOW LOOK RIIIIGHT INTO MY CAMERA...

//SCENARIOS.EXE
PHASE I
[ xx:xx ] So you've all just been dropped off at the venue and now it's time to get some food in you. After all, as any of Cerealia's professional models will be able to tell you, standing under the lights and looking pretty is a whole lot harder than it looks! You're definitely going to want to keep your strength up. But don't worry about paying, because this meal is on the house. Eat as much as you like. It's buffet-style, and anything that runs low will be refilled by friendly robots in a timely fashion.

Also on the house is treatment from the colony's various appearance professionals. Makeup artists and hairdressers will have their time to shine as they primp and polish 'til you glow with pride, and representatives from various boutiques and clothing stores, as well as professional fashion designers, will be on hand to ensure that you look your best!

Don't be surprised if, while you're waiting to get started, a dark-clad figure in a hood sidles up to you and dumps a letter or two in your lap! These are letters from your adoring public (yes, even the new arrivals have quite a devoted fanbase), and they range from cute to creepy. ...how did that messenger even get in, anyway? Maybe the way they seem to melt into the crowd and disappear when you blink has something to do with it.

PHASE II
[ xx:xx ] Now it's time to get down to business! Business, of course, being getting your picture taken by these overly-enthusiastic photographers. ...do some of them look like cats? That's got to be your imagination. Blink and they'll look normal, promise.

The photographers are interested in catching as many shots of the various visitors to the colony as they can possibly get, so don't be surprised if they pair you up with people you don't even know just because they think you look cute together. The poses they'll put you in will range from normal to outright risqué, so here's hoping you and your new buddy don't feel awkward together!

Midway through the shoot, one of the volunteers will run into the room very excitedly, wheeling a cart full of animal carriers behind him. Some of the things he's brought along are harmless CYBuddies, because what photoshoot isn't made cuter by including adorable animals, but some of the others are... let's just say CERES probably won't be too happy once they hear that someone's brought alien life forms into the colony. In all fairness, some of them are actually quite cute, like the aquatic creature that manages to float itself around in a sphere of water and the multi-tailed fox with glowing purple eyes, as well as the... Well, no one's really sure what this thing is, not even the person who brought it, but it's cute enough. Others, on the other hand, are just entirely bizarre, but to each their own.

Feel free to chat up the others while you're waiting for your turn, to play with the animals, or to try and escape. Those who try and duck out the back will eventually be tracked down by a volunteer or a robot that will try to either bribe or kidnap them into continuing with the shoot, though! Maybe you and a friend can team up to figure out a way past them? Or you could just be on good behavior and let them take your picture.

...a word of caution, however. No matter how often the photographers urge you to do so, do not look directly into the camera. Characters who do will be rendered unconscious (those with spiritual sensitivity will actually be able to tell that they've been rendered soulless, though characters that already lack souls to begin with will still be rendered unconscious) for five minutes in the first instance and five minutes plus one minute for every instance thereafter (six minutes for a second time, seven for a third, and so on). Should they reach the point where they would be knocked out for a period of ten minutes, the photographer will try to leave the building. You will want to stop them. If you don't, your character will remain unconscious until the dawn of the next day and will be transported to the CERES medical center. If other characters manage to keep the photographer from leaving, your character will wake up after ten minutes as normal. Feel free to NPC these encounters yourselves if it comes to it; the mods will not be doing so. It's up to you whether the photographer escapes or not.

PHASE III
[ xx:xx ] Uuuuuuh-oh. Whoever thought it was a great idea to bring in all those alien creatures is probably going to get fired, because one thing has led to another and now they're on the loose. What's more, those of them that can do so have taken on decidedly more threatening appearances, and more than a few of them seem to be out for blood.

In the chaos brought on by their outbreak, a second wave of photographers will make their way into the building. They're more aggressive in their attempts to have the characters look right at them when they take their pictures, and will absolutely try and gang up on them to hold them down and turn their heads to force them into having their pictures taken over and over again. These shots will have the same effect as being directly photographed during the photoshoot, but fighting back against them is okay - in fact, the volunteers and photographers who organized the shoot will actually do their best to help you fight the paparazzi off. This sort of aggression is not condoned by the locals who love you, after all. Should your character be rendered unconscious for ten minutes, anyone who attempts to stop the paparazzi from absconding with their soul will be assisted by the official volunteers for the photoshoot.

...of course, if your character is managing to hold their own, they'll just hang back and photograph the fight. Why waste a good opportunity for candid shots? After all, you're the people who are going to be restoring your own worlds and subsequently protecting theirs from the Flamines! Why wouldn't they want to document it every step of the way?

PHASE IV
[ xx:xx ] The paparazzi has been successfully expelled, the photoshoot has been finished up, and as if by magic (okay, no, it's just technology), they've actually managed to produce the prototypes for the various merchandise that will be sold around the colony. Isn't that exciting? You've all done a great thing here today, the volunteers will tell you. Now just sit back, relax, and let them make up for all the trouble.

Admire the calendars, books, and prints you're all appearing in! Or, you know, you can also wonder why ghostly images of people who aren't even there are showing up in some of the pictures you've taken. If you took a picture with just one other person, you might see a third person there, posed perfectly to go along with you! It's almost like the photographers were able to see them all along, but that's not possible, right? They won't always be there, either. You can see it and someone else can see it, but if you look away for too long and then look back, the picture will look just the way it should have based on how you took it. Huh. Weird.

Anyway, enjoy the lavish banquet the volunteers have prepared to thank you for all your hard work! You've done a fantastic job and they really want to express their gratitude. If there's any particular food you like, chances are it will be there. (Don't ask how they knew what you like.) While you're eating, another black-clad messenger might appear and give you even more fanmail than you might have received before the shoot - apparently people have been watching, and this has really boosted your popularity! You're developing quite the fanbase. The dinner crowd's fanmail definitely ranges more along the "creepy" side of things, though some of the notes actually will be cute and innocent expressions of admiration.

The security has been stepped up considerably for the meal, so the paparazzi won't be able to get in (though you can certainly hear them trying). At the end of the night, the volunteers will offer to escort you home, and should you take them up on their offer you'll make it home safely and be unbothered by the paparazzi at your place of residence. Try and go home alone, though, and the paparazzi will stalk you until sunrise, even going so far as to try to break into your room.

BONUS
[ why:o'clock ] It seems like your devoted fanbase has gotten a little out of hand! At any point during the log - even during the chaos surrounding the animal outbreak and paparazzi attack - you might just be approached by a robot. A robot that loves you so much, it's going to take you away from all of this. This robot will wax poetic about its undying love for you and how it's going to make sure that the two of you can be together forever and no one will ever be able to take you away from them.

It will then proceed to do its best to kidnap you. Maybe there's some kind of a glitch in its program, because it's not gentle about it at all! And if you try and escape, it'll definitely get violent. Try to run away and it might just have to break your legs so you can never leave it behind. Try and fight it off, and it'll do its best to incapacitate you so it can drag you off, put you on display, and take super good care of you.

These robots are incredibly sturdy, but the more technologically-inclined may be able to reprogram them into being less creepy and more helpful if they can get to the control panel on its back. Fight hard enough, or avoid it for long enough, and eventually its battery will wear down and you'll be safe. If you can't fight or run, you'd better hope someone who can will come along and help you...!

phase i
[ tarou almost didn't fit on the bus, and it took some coersion to get him on it simply because it's the strangest transportation he's ever seen, but he's glad he did get on in the end. the tour is nice and much easier to understand than the presentation (what is a power point and what exactly is its "power").

afterwards he thought he might be free, but then there's just insistent people with flashing boxes coming around at him. he opts out on the food and is trying to stray from the crowds when he's confronted by the fashion crew. they're trying to get him to wear strange things and put make-up on. except his nails are already done and he's got fab eyeliner, do they not see this??? ]
My clothes are fine ... please leave me be.

[ upon awkwardly turning away from them, he's then approached by the man in the hoodie. looking over the letters, tarou frowns. ] I do not know any of these people.

phase ii
[ after eventually consenting to the photographs (because then he might get to leave right), tarou gets paired up with the caterpillar thing. except he's holding it in his hand and compared to pretty much everything about him, it's tiny. thankfully he's so distracted by this he's not looking at the camera at all. ]

I think you should reconsider this prop. I do not wish to break it. [ he's just going to turn to someone else and .... hold it out. present for u ]

phase iii
[ getting rid of paparazzi was easy for him. he just had to literally shake them off or pick them up and toss them away. after a while, the cameras are more interested in snapping photos of him doing that. and he's taken it upon himself to help others out.

while he has no intention of drawing his blade at all, he wields it within its sheath, hold it out so the end bumps up against a paparazzi harassing another guest like tarou. ]
Remove your unclean hands from this person.

wildcard
[ feel free to come up with your own scenarios, including for phase iv!! i'm just nervous and not sure what to write on that one anymore LAJWEFM if you have any questions, shoot me a message! ]

[These cameramen are really persistent, aren't they? Midare isn't really opposed to having his picture taken (he rather likes the attention), but he's definitely opposed to being manhandled, and that's what they're doing. One of them's even grabbing onto his skirt to try and keep him still, gross! He stomps hard on their foot in an attempt to shake them off, but it's no good.

Then Tarou comes along. It's pretty amusing to see the sheathed sword bumping the paparazzi...]


You heard him! Hands off! [He makes a face.] Taaaarou, these people aren't nice at all!

[personal profile] unwielding 2015-05-23 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ah. it's another sword. time to leave.

just kidding, though he's surprised he didn't notice at first. the paparazzi is really annoying and distracting. since they aren't even listening, he pushes the sword between midare and the paparazzi in order to shove said paparazzi back, holding it ready afterward as if to challenge them to test whether or not he'd swing the thing. ]


Yes, I noticed.

[OH BOY Kashuu was wondering when Tarou would show up, considering Jirou already had his grand debut and clearly that meant The Stern One wouldn't be far behind...

But Tarou's looking to dump his freaky alien on someone else first, and since he had been cheerfully scootin on over to say hello, Kashuu is the lucky recipient! From here it looks like a cute little caterpillar, at least, which he's not at all adverse to.]


For me? Thanks! A butterfly would suit me better, but these little guys are— [Usually kind of cute?! PAUSING MID-GRAB--] Oh my god, what's wrong with it?!

[ unfortunately (but actually probably most fortunately), he'd missed his brother's entrance. these are the first couple of fellow swords he's run into in this place. it's somewhat comforting that they're here but also somewhat pointless ... since he's not very close to that many of them.

it doesn't stop him from offering the caterpillar though. the poor caterpillar did nothing to receive this kind of reaction.... ]


... I don't believe anything is wrong with it. [ he brings it up closer to his own face to study it. it's funny looking but so is doutanuki. ] It is very small.

[ inwardly, tarou sighs when he's ignored by the paparazzi (aside from his own who hover in the distance trying to get snaps of this). but his grip tightens on the handle of his sword and then he swings it right into the back of the pap's knees. he doesn't stop there though, that's just to put off the man's balance. after that, tarou moves the sheathed weapon again to whack him straight in the back. ]

I said do not touch her.

[ he turns his eyes to the girl, where they soften a bit even though he's kind of awkward at interacting with. everything. ] Are you alright?

[ Ah, yes, now this is a sword he knows well enough. Kousetsu and his otherwise unemotional self will just stop at the side of the other. The letters in Tarou's hands match his own and he wonders if this is another trick being played by Ceres. ]

...it is best to not open them. Who knows what doing so might cause to happen. [ Hello Tarou. Welcome to hell. Kousetsu looks so done with this place. His otherwise immaculate clothes might be disheveled from trying to get away from fashion crew. He looks...peeved to say the least. ]

This place...has strange events that occur. I assume this is just another one of them.

Strange events? [ it wouldn't be the first time a couple of letters launched some sort of event, he supposes. no one said anything about strange events though. the only way to know about them would be to have experienced them, right? ]

He does a doubletake when the other sword offered him... Whatever that thing might be. He stares at Tarou, turns away for the the caterpillar, before he returns his gaze back at the tall sword. ]

[ look at his face and ask him if he's serious about this. ]

...

[ obviously ookurikara is smaller than tarou and less likely to accidentally squish the caterpillar. his silent gaze seems to suggest as much, though he doesn't understand why the other sword isn't just taking the caterpillar. someone will love it eventually. ]

Take it.

[Admittedly Tenka had his fan out -- something that looks deceptively innocent, though a glint in the light makes it clear that it's actually made out of metal -- and was ready to take out the very same paparazzi before he gets the help. Oh. He blinks before looking to looking to his rescuer.

Looking up to find him.

Then grinning easily.]


Whoa!

Thanks, buddy!

[ tarou doesn't discriminate, all people with cameras (not that he knows what those are) are the enemy. otherwise he might have left this one to fend for himself since he seems to have a weapon.

either way, what's done is done, though he doesn't lower his own weapon either in case any paparazzi get funny ideas.

he doesn't know why this man is calling him buddy. he doesn't even know this man. ]


Your thanks are unnecessary.

[Spotting Taroutachi amongst everyone else cannot be considered to be a difficult task, considering his height. Even with the fashion crew crowding around him, attempting to freshen up his make-up and attaching hair ornaments, he is still a good head or two taller.

And certain someone who is almost quite as tall is trying to sneak up on Taroutachi, trying not to be too noisy with his shoes. Or by bumping into things like a chair or a table. So far, it's working. The magic of alcohol.

Now nearly at Taroutachi's side, Jiroutachi decides to make his (not) sneaky entrance.]


They're fan-letters, aniki! You're popular!

[personal profile] unwielding 2015-05-23 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ apparently tarou has missed out on jirou's grand entrance, but he's heard about it.

jiroutachi may be attempting to be sneaky, but taroutachi knows his brother, and when he hears his voice, he turns to him as if he's been expecting him. even though he's actually still very lost. ]


Fan letters? [ he frowns. ] I haven't done anything. I just got here.

[ and that frown turns into a scrutinizing look. ] I missed your arrival.

[Taroutachi's tall height immediately got Sayo's attention and he made his way over. Only to be given a caterpillar when he arrived.

He just accepted it and stared at it in his hands.
]

...Is this for me, Taroutachi-san?

[This stange, freaky looking caterpillar.]

[personal profile] unwielding 2015-05-23 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ by now he's not so surprised to see others from the citadel here, but he's glad that it's a tantou that shows up. this little caterpillar is perfect to hand off to sayo. surely it's much more meant to be.

he nods once to indicate that it is indeed a present. although he's mildly attached to the caterpillar now since no one else has really wanted the ugly thing. ]


Yes. It's too small for me.

[ sadly, the person beside him just so happens to be one of the smaller ones around, petite in both frame and height, so when he turns to hand that monstrosity over to her, weiss gets a faceful of caterpillar. GROSS?????? ]

—get that thing away from me!!

[ quite logically, she balks at the sight, nearly jumping back as her face twists in disgust. ]

[ this is not sad at all, it's perfect. the caterpillar needs her!! she has far less risk of squishing it with her fingers.

... or not. she might actually attempt to do so deliberately. terrible. ]


... I believe it is harmless.

[ he and the caterpillar almost seem to exchange looks. will no one think of its feelings??? ]

No, er... I don't think I'd do good with it either...

[He should give it to them instead. Yes. Hinata doesn't believe that it's not going to try and bite him or something after past experiences.]

Don't give it to me?

[As in, Dotanuki is 100% confused as to why Tarou just turned to him and tried to give him that squishy thing. In a way, it wasn't really on purpose probably since Dotanuki had just been walking by and found himself pulled the camera circle, but he's still bewildered.]

What am I going to do with it?
