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.

His hands drop. ]
Ah? So I see. It's persistent, isn't it? You have to approach these things carefully.
Machi-kun has had a troubled past. Can't you tell by the look on his face?
[ . . . ]
no subject
He doesn't have one!? Don't make up sad backstories for people you don't know! I mean—wait, it's not even a person!
[ He points at the condom machine! Which just stands there like all machines are supposed to do. ]
no subject
But at least the effort is there; that's something.
As he allows a silence to pass, he pulls out his little credit card he was given. He goes with it. He's going to buy a whole bunch. ]
Ah. There are just too many options. I don't know which one to pick.
[ A glance at Yata. No, this guy can't be any help. He looks at Machi-kun, right into his adoring eyes, and without the beat of a lash: ]
What do you suggest?
[ he's still talking to it. ]
no subject
You asshole, what's that glance supposed to mean?
[ Meanwhile, the machine makes the lights behind chocolate-flavored option blink. ]
... It replied!?
no subject
[ but oh, the machine replied. This instantly gets Katsura's attention.
He's back to gripping the side of the machine and looking intensely at it. ]
M..Machi-kun! Are you absolutely certain? This isn't the most expensive one— are you sure? I'll give you what I can to get you through this time. You're just being considerate now— oh, how you've changed so much.
[ He slides his card through the device and selects the chocolate flavored, then the quantity he wants. ]
That is such a pure spirit to put other first before your needs.
no subject
[ Jeez. He rubs his nose, not sure if he should feel embarrassed, humiliated... No one must know how Yata the super virgin angered a condom machine. ]
Yo, Zura. Have you been here long or something... [ Will staying in Cerealia make him go crazy like this guy, or. ]
no subject
who does this ballsack think he is anyway using a casual name like that to him. He sounds a bit more irritated. ]
It's not Zura, it's Katsura.
Ah, no? I'd say a week and a half.
[ a week and a half without Elizabeth. It seems unfathomable.
He collects the rest of the condoms cause he bought a bunch and adjusts his posture, putting his attention on this new supporting character. Now they both were supports: Machi-kun is the real star. ]
no subject
[ He points at the machine and—hold up, Yata's totally star material. (He isn't.) Don't ignore him. (Please do.) He just watches Katsura pick up the rest of his condoms because no way is he touching those. That's like making himself a partner in crime. ]
You... [ He squints. ] You really gonna use those?
[ Just one of the many, many things he will regret asking tonight. ]
no subject
He then bows. ]
Thank you, Machi-kun. I assure you I will be putting these to good use.
[ then, Katsura turns, and once they are out of... earshot.. from the condom machine.
What an overly polite (and stupid) young man he is.
He speaks just over a whisper to Yata now that the machine stopped following them. ]
It isn't proper to ask a question like that in front of the giver.
