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.

[ . . . Tenka doesn't really flinch at the scowl, though he's admittedly uneasy in return. Still though, he tries for friendly, as he always does.]
What's your name exactly, friend?
no subject
[ He doesn't get that. Why would they? Oumi is Oumi, why would that change? As for his name, he's not one to hide it. He's known well enough at home, and there's nothing bad to it. ]
Kumou Kagemitsu. And this is Pokoya.
[ Poko makes a tanuki greeting sound at the introduction. ]
no subject
Which... sort of explains this-
[So he bows because Tenka doesn't bow to a lot of people, but he thinks it's important enough when you're meeting your ancestors.]
I'm Kumou Tenka, 14th Head of the Kumou family. It's... nice to meet you, even if it's unexpected too.
no subject
he's Kumouhe already is involved with the supernatural, and this place is already weird, why can't it be weirder. He doesn't question it. Yet, at least. Somehow, he feels like it's true. And Poko certainly seems pleased to have all names out in the open. ] But I don't have any kids.no subject
Please make sure you eventually have some.
It's kind of really important.
no subject
I think I'm sort of bound to if I have descendants.
no subject
I'm just saying that it's not so much of a request from your descendant, but more like a plea.
I feel like I'm already messing with the past just by talking to you.
no subject
[ Not the same thing, but. ]
If that's the case, that's not your or my fault, is it? If we're not supposed to meet, something could have been done from hindering it. I'm relieved, though. If I have descendants, it means things will be fine.
[ They did get told that things had sort of been destroyed. ]
