PHASE I [ 19 00 ]
The festival begins promptly with a kick-off speech and a toast from Julius Vincere, encouraging everyone to celebrate beneath the two moons as they light the sky. The weather is crisp and beautiful, leaving them both in full view as their light cascades upon the festival. Around the district, there are several stands full of standard fair food (candy apples/corn dogs/ice cream/deep fried everything), games, and an assortment of many awkward prizes (if you're wondering what these are, do remember you're in the Pleasure District!). Also, there is alcohol everywhere, served to minors and adults alike.
PHASE II [ 1945 ]
The music is playing loudly beneath the noises of the festival. Anyone approaching the speakers will notice a strange buzzing noise that keeps wavering. Then, the sound changes abruptly to the sound of pained moaning hidden within the song. It grows more pronounced by the second until the lights in the Pleasure District flicker off for a brief second. When they return, there is someone crawling out of the speaker. Your eyes squint, and you can see them briefly, the faint outlines of their form as their screaming escalates, only everyone else seems to be deaf to it. Only you can hear it, and you wonder how and why no one else is reacting. Is it just you? Are you hallucinating? Better get used to that feeling in Cerealia.
PHASE III [ 2000 ]
Your friendly speaker friend up there doesn't seem to want to go away. (S)he keeps crawling out and disappearing throughout the evening, but it's easier to ignore as Julius takes to the stage. He has a special announcement for all. CERESdate (who sponsored this wonderful festival by the way) has agreed to set up all you vibrant, sexy Cerealia singles with some robot partners for the night. Want to escape? Too late. They're latching on and dragging you out to the dance floor to boogie down. Afterwards, they'll try and drag you to the nearby hotels for some extra loving. You are welcome to run at this point or comply happily.
PHASE IV [ 2103 ]
Have you escaped the overzealous sex robots? Good, good! Now, it's time for the real fun. The holograms turn from PG images of the stars and surrounding moons and planets to a few fun images of various robot couples caught in absolute bliss. You may spot a clown mask in there or two, reminiscent of those who were running around causing a bit of trouble earlier. The images continue to get distorted as the clowns look like they're stretching their necks out of the image and reaching out towards you. The moaning from before returns.
Doesn't it get you in the mood? If it does and you'd like to find a partner for the night, a few CERESdate robots will be on hand to help fix you up with a partner, organic or otherwise. They're being quite insistent again because they want your credits.
BONUS [ whyo'clock ]
Have you ever been stalked by a condom-dispensing machine? Well, there's a first time for everything! These friendly contraptions are set up all over the Pleasure District, waiting for you to pass by before trailing after you very slowly. At first you don't notice. Every time you turn around, it stands stationery. But the moment you start to move, it just carefully rolls behind you. Watching. Waiting.

Phase III
Oy! With me, stop it! [She comes around to Kagemitsu and grabs at his sleeve, tugging to get his attention. Her bored gaze remains on the robot though.] Will dance with him. Bother someone else. Shoo, shoo! [She makes a shoo-ing motion with her free hand.]
no subject
He's grateful but confused---she doesn't seem to be from Oumi so there shouldn't be any reason for her to actually help him. ] Right, I... [ What is he supposed to say? He can't even dance, in the first place, so how do you pretend... ] I have company now, so I'll be alright. [ How to keep up appearances of being an adult? No idea. He's 20 but he's still a kid in many aspects, even if he's head of his family.
At least the robot seems to accept it, after a minute or two. He's so relieved when it leaves, and when he turns to the woman who helped him, he looks as grateful as he is. ] Thank you, onee-san.
[ As he offers her a bow, Poko jumps up on his back, and the tanuki curiously sniffs the air in the woman's direction. ] Poko?
no subject
Oona's about to say something, but she's a bit distracted by the weird-- raccoon? She's seen them on her travels before, but they didn't look this...intelligent.] Poko...? What is it?[Presumably the name of the creature. Oona eyes it suspiciously a moment before cautiously holding her hand out for the creature to sniff; could it tell she wasn't human? That wouldn't particularly surprise her.]
no subject
[ The Kumou shrine is a place dedicated to defeating a cursed serpent, and Kagemitsu is the first official head of that family. He stays a bit bent down, letting Poko do as she pleases.
After a few moments of Poko investigating the woman's scent, she snorts as if she's discovered something. Although Kagemitsu can't tell what it is the spirit has found out. She pats her human on the head, and he lifts her down and holds her in his arms. ]
She's a tanuki and a spirit, and she's family.
no subject
Shrine? You are, eh... Priest? That is the word, yes? [That's all she can assume anyhow as Oona leans in slightly to examine Poko herself. She likes animals-- they're not humans.] Cute.
no subject
But he smiles when Poko is complimented. And Poko seems pleased. ] She is.
no subject
Does not matter here. Be careful. Robots like to, eh... meddle. Very annoying. [She scratches her cheek lightly.] But harmless, mostly.
At least they are not trying to kill people this time.
no subject
You mean those odd things, right? With robots. [ They're honestly the biggest confusion of all.
Wait. ]
They tried to kill people?
