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.

phase i...
Isn't it obvious? Though I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a little kid like you doesn't know what they are.
no subject
Nonsense. You can't say that to me, since we both know very well that we're the same age. [ even though you look older because you're a Utena, but. ] What is it, then?
no subject
[And then without missing a beat because SHE WAS PREPARED FOR THIS BLUFF] It's clearly meant to be a fashion accessory. Obviously for poor people, otherwise they wouldn't be handing them out for free.
no subject
You have it, then. You seem like a fashionable person, and I don't care for such things at all.
no subject
I don't want it! I'm already perfectly fashionable on my own, I don't need any handouts.
no subject
Then how in the hell are you supposed to wear it? I'll give it to someone that actually wants the stupid thing.
no subject
There, see?
no subject
[ It seems like he's not buying it, and he hmphs lightly, but— ]
It looks stupid. People really wear such things?
no subject
[But she'll go ahead and take it off anyway...only to shriek and hurl it at Ciel's face when she accidentally turns it on and it starts vibrating.] Wh-what is that?
no subject
Ow—
[ His hand flies up to cover his face immediately, which also means he doesn't even try to catch the super cool prize, so there it is, vibrating alone on the ground. ]
Why did you throw it at my face?! You could have just dropped it!
no subject
[Which might be the closest thing he'll get to an apology from Nanami, except then she proceeds to ruin it as usual.] And how was I supposed to know you'd just let it hit you instead of catching or dodging it? You've got really terrible reflexes for a boy, you know.
no subject
[ 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?
no subject
Of course I am! It's...it's clearly some kind of neck massager, that's all. I guess something like that could come in handy if you're feeling stressed.
no subject
[ He scoffs, since wow, Nanami!! Do a better job! ]
You have no bloody idea what it is, do you?
