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.
[ Remember to apply proper warnings on threads with trigger-y or inappropriate material and do let a mod know if your thread careens off into maiming or canoodling so we can lock the meme. ]

Welcome to CEREALIA's fourth Test Drive Meme. For your convenience, we have compiled a post detailing everyone's arrival experience and a FAQ that should explain everything in more detail. Please read them thoroughly before playing. Thank you!

[She had already sensed Sakura's presence and wastes no moment saving her from the machines, quickly and smoothly making her way to the girl's side. Such unpleasant machines aren't befitting for her and she knows her Master cannot hope to fight back against their strength.]

Stay beside me Sakura. [She has to raise her voice a little higher than normal because of the music drowning her out, but is still vigilant for any other machines.] I will lead you away from here.
springful: (quietly resents rin in the corner)

[personal profile] springful 2014-11-05 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
[nodding] Alright. Please lead the way then.

[Time to follow Rider... But really, if there's anyone who could get her out of here quickly and efficiently, it would be her. Sakura doesn't say much after, but it's a comfortable silence.]

[personal profile] viperess 2014-11-05 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
Stay close.

[She begins to move through, launching her daggers at any robot that tries to come near from either side. They're very persistent, she'll give them that much, but she doesn't understand why this is happening. What's the point of all these robots? She scowls as she clears a path and they're finally away from the dance floor, but the robots are still coming.]

Sakura, we should retreat. [She turns around and reaches out for her hand.] May I carry you?

[It would be wasteful to use her Noble Phantasm, but she can run quickly enough even if she's carrying Sakura.]
springful: (her ribbon's on the left!!)

[personal profile] springful 2014-11-05 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
Carry me...? [She sounds a little apprehensive of it at first since it'd probably be embarrassing. On the other hand, there's really no end to these robots, and she doesn't want to cause Rider any more trouble than necessary. If carrying her out is easier, then that's the best option, right?]

Yes, that's fine. Let's leave as quickly as possible.
viperess: <user name="unification"> (pic#)

[personal profile] viperess 2014-11-05 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Rider can sense the apprehension, Sakura never was good at hiding her feelings, but she only wants what's best right now. So she nods at the approval and bends down to lift Sakura up from the back of her legs, carrying the girl bridal style.]

Please hang on.

[She give the girl a moment to do so as she launches into a fast sprint and jumps high into the air seconds later. The air flings and rides around them, until Rider safely lands atop one of the buildings in a crouch.]

There.
springful: (i'm getting a movie???)

[personal profile] springful 2014-11-06 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
[She tries not to, but Sakura can't help but let out a yelp when they launch together into the air. It's only for a few seconds, but being that high in the air is kind of scary. While of course she knows what Rider is capable of, seeing it and actually experiencing it are pretty different things.]

T-Thank you. [At least they're safe now... And looking down from the building, she can still see some robots going after people.] I'm glad we're finally out of that... whatever that was, anyways.

[Well, Sakura was certainly more composed than Shinji -- he screamed at her for even proposing that she could lift him to carry him out of danger, so she never once tried it. Whether or not it was because of his cowardice or something else is something she'll never know.

She brushes a strand of her hair and goes to the edge of the building, peering down below. They aren't too far up, but just enough that they won't be troubled.
]

This place seems to have strange customs. The way those robots were acting...it was as though they wanted to mate with us.
springful: (or i might break your legs)

[personal profile] springful 2014-11-07 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Everyone can probably agree that Shinji was. Special, to put it nicely. Sakura would be able to picture that scene pretty clearly at least.]

That's... one way to put it, yes. [A REALLY BLUNT WAY, even if she more or less agrees. It just makes the whole situation that much more uncomfortable to her though.] I don't understand why anyone would have customs like that, but as long as we're safe up here, that's what's important.

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.]
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.
viperess: <user name="unification"> (pic#)

[personal profile] viperess 2014-11-09 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Fine. [She stops peering down the ledge and turns to the girl with a small smile.] It seems we may be here for a foreseeable future. I assume we will continue our contract with one another during that time, yes?
springful: (the totally a normal girl smile)

[personal profile] springful 2014-11-11 11:14 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... Yes, of course. [She gives a small smile as well, but it's warm. Having had Rider by her side for so long, it's hard to imagine things without her now.] I wouldn't have it any other way.
