MOONFESTCON 2014 PART I: Embracing Lunacy


It's that time of the season to praise the two moons of Cerealia. As they hang in the sky, looking harmless and moon-like, the robots and CERES staff have gathered together to prepare a fanciful celebration. It's primarily located in the Pleasure District where paper lanterns hang and where fireworks are starting to burst in the sky. Everyone is welcome to dress up and enjoy an evening of fantastic pleasures, platonic or otherwise.

"Good evening! As always, I'm pleased you all can join me. Do enjoy all the beverages being passed around along with the many services we have to offer, all there for your pleasure.

Take time to play in one of our many booths or just slip away and have a crazy evening. The moons bid it. Don't be shy."

//SCENARIOS.EXE
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
[ 19:45 ] 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
[ 20:00 ] 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
[ 21:03 ] 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
[ why:o'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.

[ to his frustration, Zara isn't sure what it means, either. He just doesn't know enough about this place - and he certainly doesn't know enough about whatever it is that came out of the speaker. Frowning deeply, he narrows his eyes. ]

... Shall we investigate? Or perhaps we should get Nesso first.

[personal profile] immutably 2014-11-08 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[There is a scuffle in the alley and Erwin looked up. Someone tripping over a stone causes him to take a step forward but he's not exactly in the best position to help someone up with one hand.

But it's an animal coming toward him that makes Erwin pause, not sure what to make of it. After robots though, he assumes it's just another example of the advanced technology of this society.]


It's dark, it's easy to trip here. [Erwin said with a frown. He didn't need to ask why the other wanted to get away, it seemed that the robots could be rather pushy with everyone.]

[ a response that he's used to, honestly; however, he doesn't know this one as well as his young lady, so he refrains from teasing further, only smiling entertainedly to himself.

They certainly don't get far, though. He tenses up a bit when his sleeve is grabbed (mostly worried some overenthusiastic shopowner is trying to sell him something lewd again), but, fortunately, it's just the girl. Zara's eyes fall onto the little glass rabbit, and he smirks, his own ears wiggling slightly as if in response. ]


Yes, indeed. Although I'm not quite so colorful.
sewayaku: (ojoo somo...)

[personal profile] sewayaku 2014-11-08 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ the mention of Fiona has him sobering up, as well, the lines of his face tightening. Naturally, she's the first thing on his mind, too. She wasn't kidding when she called them all overprotective. ]

... I haven't seen heads or tails of her, either. We need to find out if she's all right.

[ after what they'd been told happened to Weblin, well... he feels a little antsy. ]

If what they said is true, she might be in danger. [ to say the least. He pauses, then adds: ] ... To be quite honest, even thinking of her walking around this place unaccompanied is giving me a headache.

... Well, let's not be too pessimistic, shall we? If the situation gets that bad, I'm sure we can find our own way out.

[ he will cut his way out of here if he has to, dammit... he needs to make sure ojou-sama is okay!! ]

[personal profile] sewayaku 2014-11-08 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ fortunately, zara is good at reading the atmosphere... he just smiles politely, nods, and merrily moves onto the next subject. He should have guessed that simply erasing species lines wouldn't be enough to keep a world at peace... after all, there has been plenty of blood shed within individual clans. ]

That seems to be the case for most of the humans here. My ears are getting quite a few stares... It's making me a bit self-conscious.

phase i

[For a moment, she almost thought she could enjoy herself.]

[The speech was boring. The weather was pleasant enough. The crowds, she could easily get lost in. The food...well, for the moment, the food was her favorite part. Time spent working in restaurants had given her a new appreciation for certain tastes, and she was hardly one to let the opportunity to sample pass her by.]

[Nor was she one to forego a chance to taste wine. Red wine, to be specific. A single glass at most, but even the first sip was enough to spread a warmth through her body she hadn't felt for a very long time...]


phase iii

[She wasn't drunk. Tipsy, yes, but she still had her wits about her. Enough to realize what was happening.]


I told you. I don't dance.

[Persistence was something she knew very well. The opportunity to live in the moment. But this was one moment she did not want. Not like this. And her new friend was just going to have to get it through its thick...whatever.]
mermaiding: (Picked him for her own)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2014-11-08 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[She looks like she's concentrating hard, calculating the differences between them (and her gaze focusing in sharply when his ears wiggle do it it again).

She reaches up towards his ears and then hesitates, as if suddenly remembering manners exist.
] Can touch? [Another pause and she adds a belated:] Please?

This is most likely a society that thrives on that sort of behavior. It's no different than a magus...

[She goes quiet and pauses for a moment.]

Forgive me, I have spoken out of term.

[Of course Sakura would know, it's no secret she's been with Shirou in that manner.]

No, only this one. Do you believe I should go and win more? This one was rather effortless to win.

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-11-08 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
((ooc: Full Disclosure--Zatanna, as of her canon point, is 14 1/2 years old. She will be played as 14 1/2 years old. I am well aware of the age restriction as well as Special Permission required for characters as young as she. Thus, testing the waters to see if she could still work in a game such as this.))



phase i

[The wine was so tempting, except she could already hear her father's voice in the back of her mind scolding her. One of the rare times she was actually willing to listen.]

[Though, after staring at each of the prizes for a long moment, she was starting to wonder if there was something in the soda she'd substitute the original glass for. Because there was no way...]

[...]

[...except, apparently, there was.]


You've got to be kidding me.

And I thought I was shameless.

[If she hadn't been slightly grossed out, she might have even been impressed.]



bonus!

[She was used to having a mechanical babysitter. No offense intended towards Red Tornado. In fact, she was greatly starting to miss the guy, because this latest version was far inferior. Also more than a little creepy.]


Okay, that's it. [After walking the equivalent of half a mile and still finding the darn thing lingering close behind her--how was it even walking? it didn't have legs!--she spun around on her heels, clearly having had enough.] Either attack me, ground me, or leave me alone. Got it?
mermaiding: (My name it is Maria)

Phase III

[personal profile] mermaiding 2014-11-08 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
[It's going to be her job to save dumb humans from dumber robots, she's decided. She doesn't even care about any of it that much, but the protesting from the humans is always so loud and obnoxious--]

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.]

[God. God. Normally, he'd be excited to see Zatanna again, even under bizarre multiverse alien apocalypse circumstances. But while he can deal with alien apocalypses, reuniting with the cute girl he'd been kind of crushing on back home at what can best be described as a sex festival in front of a stalking condom machine was really not how he was expecting this to play out. He never thought the day would come when he'd want the evil clowns back.]

Iiiii'm not sure we want to see how these things attack people...or what with. [Pause.] Nice to see you again, Zee.

[Good job, Robin. So suave. So chalant.]
springful: (eating people feels kinda good)

[personal profile] springful 2014-11-08 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
It's alright. You're not wrong, after all... [But her embarrassment is pretty clear. Even if it's true, actually talking about things like this is still embarrassing.] Let's just talk about something else now.

[personal profile] firstcloud 2014-11-08 12:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ For a few short moments, Kagemitsu is silent. What a weird type of dress that guy has. But then he stops trying to figure out which prefecture the stranger might be from, because he hasn't exactly been out of Oumi, and the Kamakura period has pretty much similar fashion sense at most places. ]

Yeah, I noticed.

He gets back to his feet, and dusts off his clothes briefly. Poko sniffs Erwin's boots and Kagemitsu comes closer. She hasn't judged the guy an enemy yet but he's wary enough of strangers either way. ]

If it was at least familiar ground, it wouldn't matter.
firstcloud: icons by novaicons@tumblr (Default)

[personal profile] firstcloud 2014-11-08 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He was a fool for thinking the things could be reasoned with like normal people. Obviously, they can't. But it seemed he was saved before he actually cut up the robot, which might be a good thing.

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?
backwordscompatible: (Hi there!)

Either option is acceptable~

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-11-08 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zatanna made a mental note to her subconscious right there and then: they needed to talk. Big time. Sex dreams starring the first boy she had ever seriously considered crushing on was one thing...but this?]

[Never had any one person been so sure Fate was out to get her. On every level.]

[She could have pretended she just didn't hear him, and walked away. Only no way that was ever going to work. Since they met, it was like her ears had become perfectly turned to pick up every word he said. Particularly if it was meant to be a joke or quip. She liked jokes and quips. And a little word play. Nothing better than a light, humorous response to dis-spell--(no wonder her own subconscious hated her)--some of that highly noticeable tension in the air. Right?]


...balloon animals, maybe?

[Usually. Maybe. Not this time. Because now she was starting to picture it.]

[Slowly, she turned around and offered the most awkward wave in the history of reunions.]


Likewise...I think.
mermaiding: (and plunging down)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2014-11-08 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Welcome. [What was an 'onee-san' anyhow... Well, it didn't sound like an insult soOona lets it slide. She lets him go and crosses her arms lightly over her chest, looking a bit uncomfortable with the thanks. Jeez, humans are going to start thinking she's doing it because she likes them or something.

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.]

[ oh, now he gets it. an american tv show. that explains everything. ]

Spies wear trench coats too. By that logic, all spies would then be pedophiles.

[ wow, they're really having this conversation.

oh, cotton candy! for him? that's the first nice thing you've done all day, america!

russia plucks a tuft of it and puts it in his mouth, letting it melt on his tongue. sickeningly sweet. it reminds him of the circus. he misses the circus. do they have circuses here? they must have...

luckily, the taste manages to help counteract another mood swing, and russia finishes the rest of whatever's in the now-crinkled cup.
]

Or in your... ah, film noir.
bigstick: (pic#8494442)

[personal profile] bigstick 2014-11-08 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ hell yeah it does. except, wait, what's that supposed to mean? oh fuck off! ]

See, but that's like Pre-90s trench coats. Anything after the 90s is pedophilia.

[ they really, really are.

anyway, fuck off! he can be nice sometimes! it's just instinct in him to be polite, no matter who he's with. some of that politeness is just straight up sharing his food with anyone in the vicinity. even if they are ex-commie bastards.

that said, if russia goes to the circus, america is totally tagging along. the circus is fucking baller, dude. gonna casually keep eating this cotton candy too, it's fucking delicious.

he doesn't bother to respond to the film noir part because. 90s. just a flat look. ]
birdplay: (smile)

[personal profile] birdplay 2014-11-08 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[If he says 'em wollaws dnuorg', would it actually work, because he would like it to work.]

It'd have to have a pretty inflated ego if it thinks something like that would be threatening. [Nope. Not even awful puns can save them from how embarrassing this situation is. Dick shoves his hands into his pockets and gives Zatanna a sheepish smile.]

It's not awkward unless we make it awkward?
nyet: <user name="nyet"> — ᴅɴᴛ (Default)

[personal profile] nyet 2014-11-08 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Anything? [ jesus h. christ, alfred f. jones. ] Those are very arbitrary rules.

[ your brain works in mysterious ways, america. if only he could crack your skull open like a wristwatch and examine the clockwork. :'c

see? sharing is caring.

probably shouldn't have eaten the cotton candy with gloves on, though. russia's just going to try and pick off stray bits of the floss with his teeth as they walk, probably looking ridiculous.
]
bigstick: (pic#8494237)

[personal profile] bigstick 2014-11-08 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Most things.

[ ah, sweet sweet clarification.

also please don't get all dr frankenstein on him. that would suck.

shut up. and if there's one thing america would never judge on it's looking ridiculous in the name of food. doesn't matter how much he hates you, if there is food he won't judge. fucking cotton candy is worth licking up to the last drop. speaking of, he finished the cotton candy too.

god damnit, time for more snacks. ]


Ugh, I need like... a chili cheese dog or something. Jesus Christ.
nyet: <user name="nyet"> — ᴅɴᴛ (Default)

[personal profile] nyet 2014-11-08 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it would definitely suck. for you, not for him. ]

How much are you planning to eat? You should leave some food for other people, America, or they will all starve.

[ russia, on the other hand, is going to judge all he wants.

he tosses the empty cup into a nearby trash can and immediately starts looking for more alcohol. maybe a bottle this time?
]

[ jerk ]

There's plenty of food for them and me! I'm just... really hungry for some reason. Shut up.

[ shut up. leave him and his bottomless pit stomach alone. though tbh he's probably overeating out of Issues involving the lack of actual country anymore. shut up again.

you're the one drinking a lot. ]


You're the one drinking a lot. Seriously. Why are you so boozy today? No one wants to hang out with an alcoholic.

[ which you are ]
