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.

[ shrugging as she begins eating eating funnel cake. Though she's polite enough to stop chewing before speaking. ]

Yes, it certainly does. Apparently our gracious hosts don't mind giving alcohol to their underage patrons. How tactless.
harepiece: (heh)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-11-05 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[He had meant it as a rhetorical question!! They can't just leave someone else's embarrassing property out here in the cold, gosh. Grow a heart, Ciel!]

...Well, it just follows you. [Considering they've both been facing it this whole time so it has yet to start moving again.] Did you do something to it?
harepiece: (speak up)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-11-05 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[it's true, that's Break... Ignoring his old man noise of protest though, considering it's par for the course communication with Reim and all.

HE DOES SEEM VERY RIGHT about the prize not really doing anything, at least. He holds it up to a lantern like the light will reveal all of the festival's weird shitty mysteries.]


...Maybe it's a tie clip? [FROM THE FUTURE.] Or— It's about pocket-sized, so maybe you use it to keep your handkerchiefs from tangling up in there!

[She'll look forward to making fun of the powerpoint. Will it at least have cool effects?]

Think... [Oona's a little annoyed that he's pulling her into this when she doesn't really care-- but then again, if she wasn't curious she would've just walked away in the first place.]

Think there was someone here before Julius and his people. Do not remember all details, but sure there was. Perhaps they are trying to take back their home, or maybe they want revenge on him? Have not seen them attack people like us yet.

[Well there was that time with the alien at that party, but. Details!!] Would make sense. And would not blame them.

You know, that was my condom dispensing stalker. Mine. I don't know why you can't just get one of your own.

[ that is besides the point, america. the point is the size of your dick. ]

Also, you owe me a candy apple, you sick fuck.

[ He shakes his head, and the rather playful lilt to his expressions dissipates, since this is a much more serious topic, ultimately. He plays it off casually, which is because he doesn't want to think too much about it, but his explanation is simple to the point of not really being much of an explanation at all. ]

Hmm, not quite. It was a situation a bit similar to this, where many people were pulled together, but the overall purpose was different.

[ It's vague, but there's no nice way to explain Dreamland, so he shrugs. ]

I would not wish to speak more than Oz would like, so I would recommend you ask him about it.
allweather: (destruction)

[personal profile] allweather 2014-11-05 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[These are very good ideas, except for the fact that it's... probably too bulky to actually be either of those things. Reim shakes his head, looking at it very thoughtfully.]

It might be a paperweight?

[Also how many handkerchiefs do you carry at once, Oz, don't be a Reim.]

[ casually observes him while floating five feet off the ground. out of range of the robots. That is how far she had to go to avoid these fuckers. ]

Mmm, perhaps coercing into dance doesn't necessarily equate to 'injuring.'

normcore: (you'll all have chins)

[personal profile] normcore 2014-11-05 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well... this is a different universe.

[ She looks down into her glass. She's not against drinking alcohol while underage — she's had a glass of champagne or two at the bigger benefits her father has attended — but this isn't something she wants to trust yet. ]

Maybe it has different laws? That'd explain why it's not that big of a deal.
cheats: (Love: I don't get enough of it)

[personal profile] cheats 2014-11-05 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
No! I want absolutely nothing to do with this vile, lewd machine!

[ Lewd... He let a hint slip and he doesn't even catch onto it, he's so caught up in his buttfurious rage. ]
bigstick: (Default)

[personal profile] bigstick 2014-11-05 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ it's because they're JERKS. meanwhile, he's still being carried by the robot. just uselessly looking up at her as he's manhandled, no big deal. ]

Well, it should, my pride's injured after all. You think I want my pride to be injured? To be battered and bruised and come out of this barely intact? O course not!

[ pulling himself up to look down at the robot. ]

You hear that, Sexbot? You're destroying me from the inside out!
cheats: (are you willing to sacrifice your life?)

[personal profile] cheats 2014-11-05 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ He scoffs as he looks at his prize, since at least that idea he can definitely agree with. It's no different than the park, in that sense, because it's supposed to placate them into complying, just like that damned clubhouse. The association makes him want to toss it away, but he decides against it. ]

I would. Though I also couldn't guess at just what we're being deflected from. The story we were told is too ridiculous.
fourtune: (xiv.)

clover // 999

[personal profile] fourtune 2014-11-05 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
phase i
Stupid, pointless, dumb.. [ if you were within the general vicinity of clover, you could practically feel a cloud of dismal energy weighing upon you. that, and you'd probably hear her callous epithets as she makes her way from booth to booth.

really, no one here is too happy, but clover definitely takes the cake for visible attitude. someone should come cheer her up. or get her drunk. she needs it.

anyway, she'll be nearly bumping into someone because she's too caught up in being dreary. ]
Hey, get out of the way. And watch where you're going!

phase iii
Ugh! Disgusting! [ really, this was a rather mild reaction to everything going on, but coming from one high stress situation to another — well, let's just say clover's allostatic load hasn't changed much.

really, though, this was quite troublesome. and weird. and uncomfortable. and clover didn't like it. and if another robot tried to touch her, she may lose it.

as such, when she turns and sees another person, she immediately reacts violently, swatting at them. ]
Touch me and I'll rip out your CPU from your asshole!
allweather: (:))

[personal profile] allweather 2014-11-05 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
[That's definitely an intentionally abridged explanation. Reim is sure the last thing Oz was doing was running off to dive into an Abyss-city, but his own limited experience in that makes him wonder if perhaps he somehow traveled from there to - somewhere else.

It could be possible. Given that nothing else about the Abyss makes sense.]


I see... I had no idea. [And that's that! He's more likely to not ask Oz a thing unless he starts getting all tragic again, but hey - maybe that will never happen, like other miracles.]

Then coming here with a friend in tow is fortunate, isn't it?

[ well, from the tone of her voice, she doesn't particularly care either. But whatever. ]

They at least should be labeling the containers for anyone who doesn't wish to drink.

I didn't expect you to throw it at me! It's not even fair to bring reflexes into it!

[ He huffs angrily, then leans down to pick up his prize though his nose wrinkles at the feeling of it vibrating in his hand... And I feel like I should go to jail for writing that sentence. ]

What the blazes... You're sure this is supposed to be worn?

There is no reason we can't share, yes? There are only so many of them around, after all.

[ trust him to make it sound like it's fun to get stalked by a condom dispenser.

he pats the machine once more and moves away, nodding innocently to the candy apple currently stuck to the ground. cheerfully:
]

No, I don't think so.
harepiece: (thrown to the waters)

[ten thousand handkerchiefs pour out of his pockets]

It's not very heavy, though. See?

[Holding it out for Reim to take a look, because clearly two heads will solve this puzzle faster than one!!]

You can keep it, if you'd like. I have no use for such a thing, really.

[ shrugging ]

Technically-defined laws don't apply to scenarios like this. It would have to be included in their programming, and let us be honest here: what programmer would make sure their robots don't damage someone's pride?

[ stop being logical ]
normcore: (i wolfed my teamster sub for you!)

[personal profile] normcore 2014-11-05 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
There's always a bigger picture... and I'm gonna find out what it is.

[ That doesn't sound as cool as when she says it to V or someone else who's fond of investigating mysteries, but she means it. It just happens to make her look nerdier than usual — as if that's even possible. ]
cheats: (six zeros dot zero)

[personal profile] cheats 2014-11-05 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
...I suppose so, yes.

[ Which he says quite reluctantly, but hey, at least he's not Break who may literally be allergic to the word friend. But it is close. This subject also now sucks, so he's going to change it!! ]

Er, pardon the question, but since you know him... Is he always so... [ how to put this ] energetic?

Yeah, because sharing is caring, right?

[ ha ha subtle communism jokes ha ha ha

anyway, he's already going to collect another candy apple and weirdly enough, expecting russia to follow so that they could continue this highly stimulating conversation. super. ]


You totally do, dude.

Phase I
[Waking up in a weird place like this was bad enough, but a festival that looks like it was sponsored by Viagra is really pushing it. But they're here and trying to find his way out is not the easiest. Sam thinks he might need a drink just to make sense of all of this, but really, does he want to push his luck?

If he bumps into someone trying to walk around one of the booth with prizes he's shaking his head at--it's not like he's never seen or done anything with some of the "prizes" but seriously there are kids around--he'll bring up a hand in apology.]


Sorry, my bad. Should have been watching. [And not staring at the game of condom toss.]

Bonus
[The feeling of being stocked had left for a short time once he'd gotten away from the crazy sexbots but now he's feeling it again, only he's turned around twice and noticed nothing. That is until he realized that machine has been right behind him for a little too long.]

Either I've got a fan or they have too many of these things around.

[He stares at it for a little bit longer before turning to walk away, listening carefully for any sound that it is still following.]

Food without gluten would be a great help too. Being stuck in a box for more than half a day makes a girl hungry.

[ Her stomach is growling, but it's not like it would be any better if she ate the food that's around here. She realizes what she's just said and covers it up with an awkward fumble. ]

Um. I'm... Marcie.
