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.

[THAT ISN'T REASSURING AT ALL but he wants to believe in Ciel's delicate sensibilities, too...]
Quick! Try leaving again, let's see if it still follows you!
no subject
[ Ugh!! You're so rude, Oz!! Ciel stares at the machine suspiciously, but then turns his back and starts too walk away. The machine does not follow, but that's because you're watching, Oz. ]
...It stopped, right?
no subject
[GESTURING TOWARD THE MACHINE. He's not the rude one here okay, it is this dispenser of horrors... But Oz doesn't yet get that the stupid thing only moves when no one is watching, so he nods once - and then takes his eyes away from it to look at Ciel instead.]
You're fine, it isn't moving at all. It's just— [And then THE TELLTALE SOUND OF ROLLING. It stops once Oz glances back, but it's noticeably closer to Ciel...]
—I lied, that was a lie! It's still after you!
no subject
Aaaaargh!! [ That sure was a scream, and Ciel just bolts back behind Oz, since this machine is Very Rude and Very Fixated on him, so he's just beyond reason, as he was with the fire in the kitchen. ]
Then let's smash it! That'll stop the damned thing!!
[ ciel no ]
no subject
Oz is taking several steps back, though, because clearly they're dealing with some sort of hellspawn device from a demonic plane of existence.]
Don't smash it—! What if it haunts you?! [Haunted by the ghost of a possessed condom machine do you want that Ciel.]
Maybe if we run fast enough we can just lose it in an alley...!
no subject
[ He at least calms down with a serious expression, since though violence was his first answer, Oz's is actually not a bad one... ]
That could work! The stupid thing couldn't fit in a small place like we could.
no subject
[He'll turn around, whacking Ciel in the arm with one of his candy apples, and nyooms off in the direction of one of the side streets... expecting Ciel to be able to keep up.....]
no subject
I'm— going!! Dammit, you're too fast!
no subject
[Oz of little sympathy...
But at least he does shift a candy apple to his other hand and reach out with the newly freed one to try grabbing Ciel's. Will this actually help him though or will it just trip him up only time will tell.]
no subject
Sl&mddash; Slow down! I think it's gone now...
