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.

Shoo, shoo, you annoying thing.

[He waves at the vending machine for a moment, trying to encourage it to leave, before he turns to face Ciel. This boy must be rich, with how nice his clothing looks... Cynbel might be a bit jealous, actually.]

But this isn't so bad. You ought to count yourself lucky you missed last week, when they encouraged us to murder each other for lights during a blackout filled with spiders!

[Because that is SUPER COMFORTING to hear, right... Right.]

phase i.

Does this guy ever shut up? Like, for real.

[ there is an obnoxious guy, eating a candy apple in the crowd listening to julius speak! you might be standing next to him, you might not be standing next to him, but no matter what you are doing -- he's still being obnoxious. after another bite of his candied apple, he frowns up at the stage before holding up a hand to cup his mouth and-- ]

Booo! Get off the stage! Boooooooooooo!

[ yeah, he's booing the speech. ]

You have no charisma!

phase iii.

No. No. There will be no twerking to be had with a sexbot! I know your tricks!

[ that obnoxious guy from earlier is back and he still had a candied apple. unfortunately, the candied apple is now being crammed into the face of a robot with her (his?) arms around his torso, trying to forcibly drag him onto the dance floor. ]

Stop! I followed the laws of robotics, I don't deserve this! Where's Asimov when you need him?!

[ he is now being thrown over the shoulder of the sexbot. help... him...? ]

bonus.

[ so everyone's going about their business, doing their thing, winning weird prizes from weird places for weird reasons. so is america! he's pretty down with that but uh, he's also kind of being stalked by a condom machine. that's pretty weird. he's buying another candy apple from a vendor when the vending machine approaches him and for all his obnoxiousness, he doesn't really look too bothered. instead, he bites into the apple and stares flatly at the machine. ]

You know, I feel a weird sense of deja vu right now. Yo, condom machine, are you one size fits all? Because if so, that's hella un-dope.

[ when in rome, talk to the condom machines, right? ]

[He's already had a drink, space liquor does nothing!! Just wait until they try to give him "relaxation services," then the real show starts.

He's stuck on "thought you were rich," despite the fact that he's dressed very finely, as usual - this isn't fine compared to proper nobility, so that's just silly.]


How can he tell...? My strange card looks the same as anyone else's.
mermaiding: (he home will safe return.)

Phase ii

[personal profile] mermaiding 2014-11-05 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[She'd help,if she wasn't too busy laughing at him. But it's all fun and games until she gets targeted too, where Ciel then becomes the closest way out.]

Switch, switch! [She waves her hand in a shooing motion towards the robot dragging Ciel, stepping in quickly to grab at his shoulder.] Will take him. Find someone else.

[The robot seems reluctant, but at least it stopped dragging him. Oona makes a frustrated noise and frowns down at Ciel (well, "down" considering her human form is only a good inch or two taller than him whoops).]

Tell it you will go with me.
mermaiding: (that ploughs the raging sea)

Phase ii

[personal profile] mermaiding 2014-11-05 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
The creature? [Oona looks on edge too, unnerved despite herself as she rubs at her arms in an attempt to calm down.]

Disappeared, but saw it, yes. And screaming? Can hear that, yes?
allweather: (well maybe you don't suck)

[personal profile] allweather 2014-11-05 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Are Chains morons... probably.

Reim is mildly surprised by the offered hand coupled with the title, but since it would be more improper to refuse, he shakes it. The trouble with being a servant but still technically having social status...??]


Reim Lunettes. It's good to meet you, Earl Phantomhive. [He sure isn't bothered at all by adopting deferential behavior to a literal child, at least.] Pardon me, but I'm not familiar with that household.
mermaiding: (There is nothing can console me)

Phase I

[personal profile] mermaiding 2014-11-05 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Oona looks annoyed at being addressed until her eyes flicker up to the ears on Elza's head. Not human? Or at least, not fully? Maybe?? Good enough for Oona! Her shoulders relax and she turns her attention to the object in hands.]

Ah. [She nods all sage-like. Working as an exotic dancer exposed her to opportunities of learning what these things were supposed to be (shout out to coworkers willing to answer uncomfortable questions), so for once she could be useful.]

Is pleasure device. You know, for mating. Men inadequate use it, or women use it because of men who are so. [Sorry bro.]
allweather: (i fell like a something has happen)

[personal profile] allweather 2014-11-05 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He has great lungs, okay. It's a talent. He's surprised by her sudden appearance all the same, looking between her and the affronted other guest as they're sent off.

She's certainly brash... and doesn't seem to care much for how human he is, apparently? That's odd; she looks human to him. (He keeps this thought to himself.)]


Well— thank you, all the same. [yeah it was totally to help him, what are you talking about??] Pardon, but why wouldn't they care about something like that? I'm fairly certain it takes more than indifference to will something out of existence-!

[ His hand is small, even for a child's, but despite that, he has a strong, confident handshake that's befitting of a nobleman. It's a funny contrast in that way, but Ciel doesn't seem to think it's strange, since he withdraws his hand without missing a bit. ]

Quite alright. That is... common, admittedly.

[ Ciel sighs as he shakes his head, since he's reminded of the fact that Oz failed to mention being a nobleman for more than a week. He underestimates Oz being Oz still... ]

I met a Duke Vessalius, for example, and similarly, I have never heard of the household. That is the problem of different worlds, as mad as it sounds to say so.

[ and then there's this asshole, stepping out from behind the condom machine with a condom (XXS) pinched in between thumb and forefinger. there's a glitch in the matrix somewhere probably, because this joke will never get old.

he pats the machine fondly.
]

It has just your size, America!

[ yep, russia sure did make friends with the condom machine. ]

Hey! Stop it! [ clover, too, is having a power struggle — the robot dude is tugging tightly on the ribbon around her neck, and all it's doing is cutting off her air flow. eventually, she's had enough, and after adjusting herself properly, manages to kick at the robot guy's shin. he goes down.. slightly, bringing her ribbon with him. she lets out a frustrated 'mrrgrrrrr' type noise, then snatches it from his lifeless hands.

turning, she sees a boy (a bunny?) in a similar struggle, and feeling great enmity for their assailants, sneaks up behind it and pounces on it. she begins to beat wildly on its head. ]
I'm so sick of these shitty sexual harassers! [ she looks up at her frazzled bunny comrade, frustration on her face. ] Aren't you gonna help?
cheats: (she got a ass that'll swallow up a g-str)

[personal profile] cheats 2014-11-05 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ Unfortunately, because it's Patchouli, Ciel trusts her judgement completely, so he gives them an appraising look before he simply sighs. ]

Well, if that is the case, then they're perfectly useless to me. Loath as I am to admit it, it's too big for my ears.

I, er—

[ Ciel looks between the robot and Oona with a half-reluctant expression, since with all his struggling, he hadn't expected anyone to come to his aid, for one, and two, he hadn't expected it to be a girl. Now he is faced with the sudden, alarming prospect of having to dance with a girl, and furthermore, a girl that is not his fiancee that will overlook his lack of skill.

For a moment, it seems like he'll choose the robot, even.

But after his hesitation, he looks up to the robot, then motions towards Oona vaguely. ]


I'll... go. With her.

[ It can't come out more awkward if he tried, and yet, the robot seems to accept, and let's him go only to give Ciel a friendly shove her way. He's startled by it, and glowers back at the robot, but he turns his attention to her quickly. ]

Thank you? [ Do you actually want to dance, he wonders, but he's also afraid to ask... ]
bigstick: (Default)

shakes head a lot

[personal profile] bigstick 2014-11-05 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ he's gonna open his mouth for a moment

and then close it

and then open it again

and then close it. then he'll outstretch a hand halfway, to sort of reach forward and ask why--

but then he just shakes his head and throws his candy apple at russia's stupid face. ]
changeably: (My pulse is beating fast)

[personal profile] changeably 2014-11-05 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Only if the shrieking is below eardrum-shattering level, because he sort of needs those, even if they are long and pointy for basically no reason.]

Perhaps it's because of your earrings?

[Or the stiff way he clings onto his money, like a guy who worked his way up the ladder and is protective of his earnings, but Cynbel's not going to say that.]
mermaiding: (that ploughs the raging sea)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2014-11-05 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Welcome. [Well she'll take the thanks anyhow. Maybe it'll make him feel like he owes her or something.

She tilts her head at the question.
] Heard noises, yes? Perhaps they just could not hear or see it. Maybe only people not from here can.

[SHRUG.] Or perhaps you are crazy or drank too much. Which would you rather believe?
allweather: (!)

[personal profile] allweather 2014-11-05 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
[It is odd; Oz may be young, but Ciel looks to be even younger (although admittedly, Reim would probably overestimate just how much, because everyone is a toddler as far as he's concerned) - and that's saying nothing of how the young nobles he knows don't act appropriate to their station, really. At all...

More importantly,]
I've found that much is easier accepted than thought about too hard for the time being. [until he can read all about it, that is] But do you mean Master Oz, by any chance? He must be making fast friends.

[JUST ASSUMING... because he's met Oz and that's how these things work.]
allweather: (master no!!!!!)

[personal profile] allweather 2014-11-05 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[He will try to keep it at only a few decibels. What if his glasses break...

Also, wow. He gives Cynbel a look like this would never have occurred to him in a hundred years; they're just, like, zipper pull things...]


Oh. Well, perhaps... Some of our company is much- flashier than me, however. Surely they would be more agreeable targets.
cheats: please do not take! (pic#8436204)

[personal profile] cheats 2014-11-05 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
...Yes, Oz.

[ His expression falls in a long-suffering, tired sort of way that Reim should recognize, since it's remarkably similar to the face that Reim wears when Break is around. Except, you know, Ciel has only known Oz like a week and a half as compared to a decade, but still. ]

He is a— [ He pauses, awkwardly, since he doesn't want to say it, but... After the events of that stupid park, he has to. ] He is a friend of mine, I suppose. We met before coming here.
allweather: (adjusts)

[personal profile] allweather 2014-11-05 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
[It... might... He'll make her a powerpoint.

Still, he does bristle when she brings up his imaginary drunkenness again.]


I am perfectly sane, thank you very much. [huff] Then what is it? Is it from somewhere else, like us?

[Solve this mystery with him.]
mermaiding: (that ploughs the raging sea)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2014-11-05 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
[She steadies her hands on Ciel's shoulders a moment to make sure he doesn't crash into her or anything, before turning her head to shoo away her own robot with one hand. It takes the 'rejection' equally well, off to find another victim.

Oone rolls her eyes and looks at him, eyeing him to make sure there's no lasting damage.
] Did not do it for you. [And then, as if aware of how rude that was (especially when he'd really been a lifesaver for her as well), she looks a tad embarrassed and adds awkwardly.] You are welcome.

[She looks at where the robot had grabbed and been dragging him.] Your wrist. No damage?
allweather: (dorp)

[personal profile] allweather 2014-11-05 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
[He feels a strange kinship already. The look he gives Ciel in return is friendly, but wry; yes, he understands. He understands so well and he will impart this wisdom somehow, someday.

But there, the logic snags.]


Before... coming to the party?

[ Double-unfortunate for both of these nerds is that she's going off a resemblance to wrap-around earbuds that she's seen maybe once, twice in her lifetime? 'They're cordless?' She sincerely believes it's something innocuous. ]

May I see them? I do wonder why they'd pass out such things anyway. [ technology!!!! ]

[ russia ducks. the apple bounces dully off the vending machine, which belligerently dispenses a condom in response. he bends to pick it up—XL this time—and his smile widens. ]

Ah, this one is for me.

[Life With Oz, unexpected enthusiasm in weird places... He does seem pretty delighted by this revelation though, giving off the impression that he'd probably be clapping his hands together if it wouldn't send his glorious snack tumbling to the floor.]

Yes, mostly. [MOSTLY.] I've never seen anyone with ears like that, anyway... They look very soft! [Oz focuses on the important things.]

Oh— My name's Oz, by the way!
