Mystery Science Theatre -3000


Welcome to Cerealia's latest attraction. In an effort to branch into other forms of entertainment, CERES has been slowly patching together films from various worlds to show in its brand new movie theater. So, grab a friend, sit back, and enjoy the newest batch of imported films with a nice bucket of popcorn. As you'll notice from the long line outside, it's the latest rage in the colony, and those tired of the same virtual battles in ViViD are eager to enjoy a little change in scenery.

For those eager to participate, you will find yourself being lead into the lobby by one of the many robotic theater employees. Showing today are five special films, and in the lobbies are various screens advertising them through the movie's digital avatar, Mnemosyne. Allow her to take you on a virtual tour of CERES' finest theatrical offerings.

(( P.S. no actual actors/actresses appear in any of the films. It's all done through advanced CGi-technology and voice acting. ))
"GOOD EVENING, MOVIE-GOERS. I AM MNEMOSYNE, YOUR GUIDE FOR THIS EVENING.

AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE SEVERAL CONCESSIONS FOR YOU. PLEASE PARTAKE IN THE CONCESSIONS, BUT DO NOT MAKE A MESS. THE THEATER ROBOTS HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMED TO TAKE ACTION FOR LITTERING.

TONIGHT'S FILMS ARE THE MUCH LAUDED AND CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED FILMS HAND-PICKED BY JULIUS VINCERE:

MY PETITE EQUESTRIAN EXPERIENCE RATED A

LARGE ADVENTURER 7 RATED B

THE RETALIATORS: ERA OF RADICALON RATED C

DECEASE HARDER II RATED D

YARD-DOOR PEOPLE OF QUESTIONABLE MORALS RATED Z

PLEASE MAKE YOUR SELECTION AT THE BOOTHS IN THE FRONT OF THE LOBBY THEN FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS TO THE APPROPRIATE THEATER. THANK YOU AND ENJOY YOUR EVENING."

//SCENARIOS.EXE
THEATER I
[ 00:00 ] MY PETITE EQUESTRIAN EXPERIENCE - RATED A

Advertised as a delightful tale of ponies discovering magic and friendship, this is a must-see! For adults that is. The ponies are killed within the first ten minutes, and then the rest of the run time is filled with a celebratory orgy of Roman-esque proportions. There are no mentions of ponies after the initial scene. They are neither seen nor mourned nor heard from. There are only naked, gyrating bodies as far as the eye can see.

If you manage to sit through the horror long enough, you will notice a certain something in between the moaning. Is that your face on one of the protags? Is it a beloved family member or a friend? You will find that spliced between the scenes are cherished and innocent childish memories now being soiled by passionate cries of pleasure. Enjoy the new memory, your poor, sweet summer child. This will only be visible to the viewer himself/herself.
THEATER II
[ 00:00 ] LARGE ADVENTURER 7 - RATED B

A touching tale of dealing with loss and more loss. This film is about a giant robot and his pet human that gets eradicated in the Third Robotic Genocide, leaving behind just a human carcass. The giant robot clings to the carcass and cries robotic tears until finally he chucks the carcass into a river full of carcasses and decides to go on a deep quest in search of cheese.

But spliced between this tale of woe, viewers will see images of themselves caught in a romantic memory. A first kiss, perhaps? A first love-making session? A first crush? A desired one will also have their face molded on top of all the carcasses as they flow away. This will only be visible to the viewer himself/herself.

THEATER III
[ 00:00 ] THE RETALIATORS: ERA OF RADICALON - RATED C

Agent Dick Angry takes it upon himself to assemble a team of miscreant aliens to invade the hell out of "Planet Earth." The aliens include Zorn, an intelligent toaster; Crisis, a blue-skinned beauty that turns purple when she's aroused; Trish, a rogue miniature ficus with a criminal record; and General Cerealia, a handsome, ripped man who beats evil-doers with his laptop and who looks suspiciously like CERES' programmer, Elias.

This adventurous romp will feature the tragic memories of death interweaving with the destruction of the "Planet Earth." Those who attend will see first-hand the memories of their own worlds slowly being demolished before their eyes and all their loved ones screaming in agony. Then it'll loop itself again and again for the last hour of the film. Enjoy! This will only be visible to the viewer himself/herself.
THEATER IV
[ 00:00 ] DECEASE HARDER II - RATED D

Jack McJack is a cop who is having none of your shit. In this action film, he will ride around on a velociraptor and go around punching evil-doers and detonating them with land mines. If you want all the violence in the world, this is the film for you. Watch as every second is filled with pointless explosions and every curse word in all the known languages in Cerealia.

Of course, spliced between every action scene will be every embarrassing moment of your life being played out for you and only you. Or is it? Start sweating and looking in every direction as you begin to wonder if everyone else can see that time you tripped and fell on your senpai almost kissing him (sacre bleu D= !)
BONUS - THEATER V
[ why:o'clock ] YARD-DOOR PEOPLE OF QUESTIONABLE MORALS - RATED Z

This is a touching film about tenderness and coming together to overcome obstacles and achieve greatness. The Yard-Door people run into danger when an evil megalord starts polluting the air with negative feelings. The Yard-Door people must band together and save the world through kindness. They will go and help their neighbors get across the street, rake up leaves from their lawns, donate canned food to the poor, and collect toys for children who do not have any.

While this film will draw tears from your eyes, you will see happy memories. The happiest that can be mustered. They will be spliced in with the scenes in the movie, occurring side-by-side with all the smiles and fuzzy feelings leaking off the screens. This will only be visible to the viewer himself/herself.

Also, beware! This film contains the angriest of Theater Cleaning Robots. Dropping anything on the floor will result in a bit of a flogging with a wooden paddle and a robot calling you a dirty slut and claiming that you like it. Yes, BDSM robots will not take your bad behavior. You better bend over and start apologizing for being such a filthy, little theater-goer.

Yuan Ka-Fai | Tales of Symphonia

[personal profile] enlightning 2015-03-07 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Theatre II when loving lovers love]

[The whole concept of moving and talking images of nothing new to Yuan, but using them to relay ridiculous, unbelievable stories quickly proved to be a huge waste of the technology. His posture and expression for anyone who happens to glance in his direction toward the start prove how unimpressed he is.

Then he sees Martel and quickly sits up straight in his chair. Once his own image appears on the screen, he quickly glances around to look for anything suspicious (and not also to make sure no one is staring at him now, nope.) Everything he sees is rather chaste, but following his initial reaction he seems rather riveted to the screen. Anyone curious enough to see how others are reaction to what they think are their memories might find his expression hard to read. It lacks any shame, but there's a bit of a tenseness to it that likely means this isn't overly easy for him to watch.

When the corpses float away, Yuan's attitude is quite close to what it was at the beginning, but he's definitely far more irritated. Only a few moments after that, he stands and begins storming out of the theater. He's purely annoyed, like someone just played a prank on him.
]

I am not going to be mocked like this!


[Theater IV Dirk Hardpeck! Big McLargehuge!]

[Every embarrassing moment? How long is this movie? It probably has to be winnowed down to the highlights for him, and that's just for things that happened in the typical lifespan of a human. Some of the things he sees have clear tones of racism behind them, others are purely embarrassing things that happened during his travels with Mithos, and the rest seem to be things that happened recently ever since Lloyd was discovered.

The more he glances around, the more he spots everyone else looking just as mortified as he feels (and also looks as much as he's trying to hide it). Clearly they're seeing the same things he is. Finally he can't take it anymore.
]

Drop the looks! You honestly can't be stupid enough to believe these things don't happen, can you?


[Theater V it's just a show, I should really just relax]

[He'd just been quietly and somewhat stoically taking in the nostalgia of his journeys at the end of the Kharlan War. Why should he care the piece of paper that said which movie he selected dropped to the floor?

He only notices it when the robot approaches him. He stands out of surprise.


You know you want this, you bad boy. Bend over.

A beat later, a very large sword appears in his hand. He's going to try taking out the robot. But it's probably blocking the screen if you're sitting behind him. Or in the same row, for that matter...]

[As Belgium was smiling a little at her own journey, she couldn't help but notice the noise that was coming down from the aisle. Uh-oh, was something wrong?]

Hey, is everything okay over there?
enlightning: (though some have changed)

[personal profile] enlightning 2015-03-08 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[With a quick, thankfully precise motion, the double-ended blade removes the head off the robot without severing anything or anyone else around him. He then turns toward her.]

Yes.

[Or so he thinks, because apparently the operating systems aren't in the head. The robot starts paddling him and he jumps.]

Naughty servants must be punished.

What the hell?!

[Just as he quickly cut off the robot's head, Belgium just stood there in awe]

Don't you think that's going a bit too far? I don't think that it s a very good id-

[Of course, her words were quickly cut short when she saw it was still standing]

See! What's I meant, you can't just cut of its head! It's still going to keep on working!
enlightning: (All these places)

[personal profile] enlightning 2015-03-12 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, now he's charging up what looks like an orb of magic. Like condensed lightning. It would probably feel like that if he screwed up and hit someone other than the robot with it. Could be possible as it keeps trying to paddle him and yell commands.]

Then you keep going until you've defeated it! Do you have any combat experience?!
brusseling: (o)

[personal profile] brusseling 2015-03-14 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[She quickly took a couple of steps back as the robot was moving closer toward them. Although she did look at said orb and then back at Yuan. Uh...what was going on?]

Yeah but I still need something to attack it with! Like maybe that paddle or something else! You can't go charging head on to a robot without being prepared!

[Said the girl who more or less did charge in with Spain a couple of threads back....]
enlightning: I couldn't keyword "with lovers and friends" it's Yuan (have their moments)

[personal profile] enlightning 2015-03-14 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[He was actually trying to question whether or not she was in a position to judge his tactics, but the fact that she brought up a point he'd heard thousands of years ago about his style was enough to make him not be a condescending jerk about that subject.

He shoots the orb at the robot, only serving to make it swing faster and harder.
]

Damn it...

[He just starts jabbing at it with his blade. He'd slice more but he might decapitate someone in the audience.]

I'm prepared for anything! This thing isn't getting the better of me yet.
tsuburaya_kun: (Can I say something please? :I)

II - (hello yes i am here with the horrible)

[personal profile] tsuburaya_kun 2015-03-07 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah-!

[You might have missed this one as you came out of the theater, Yuan. When Mitsuhiko went in himself, he certainly hadn't expected what he got. He hardly has any 'properly romantic' memories at this age, but he's a kid who has crushes, and that was evidently enough for the movie to latch onto. It was one thing when he was being told that his world was gone and that he was more or less the one whose shoulders its fate was sitting on; he could cope with that, knowing that there was a hope, and latching onto it.]

But it's entirely different when there are faces of his friends there, being blatantly displayed in the cold distant reaches of death, and after fleeing the theater he'd since been sitting outside, curled up with his popcorn bag folded closed at the top.

He's doing his best to make it look like he wasn't crying, at this point, but it's kind of hard.] Um...

'Mocked'..? [Asking that at least, might take his mind off things.]
enlightning: I couldn't keyword "with lovers and friends" it's Yuan (have their moments)

Hiii wow I don't know how he acts with kids but he's typically bad with everyone

[personal profile] enlightning 2015-03-08 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
[The sound of a clearly young voice catches his attention, and despite his desire to get out of there, he stops in his tracks. He gives Mitsuhiko a silent frown for a few seconds. It wasn't like he felt this child was too young for any of this, growing up in a time of war and living for so long had inured him to most circumstances.

He was mostly irritated because he wasn't sure what this boy had to be confused about. Even not knowing his exact history shouldn't have made a difference, should it?
]

You do know what that means, don't you?
tsuburaya_kun: (Can I say something please? :I)

pffff well that's comforting somehow.

[personal profile] tsuburaya_kun 2015-03-08 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a slow nod, before Mitsuhiko looks back to his popcorn bag.]

...I just thought mocking was more like when someone laughs at you, though...

[He's not wrong; 'to mock' is to ridicule after all, and really, it didn't feel he was being ridiculed so much as hurt by someone with no regard at all. Mocking, at least, he can associate with someone pointing and laughing. ...A lighter sort of pain, in a way.]
enlightning: (I've loved them all)

yes, it's not you, it's him

[personal profile] enlightning 2015-03-08 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Actually, he's lucky. Yuan's going to take his young age and inexperience as the reason he has such a narrow view on the meaning of a word. He'd probably be a huge jerk about it were he a little older. He crosses his arms.]

Not necessarily. People can enjoy derisive behavior without laughing about it. The contempt behind it makes it what it is.
tsuburaya_kun: (pic#6890758)

at least it went semi okay xD

[personal profile] tsuburaya_kun 2015-03-08 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Ah...I see...

[He seems to get that, at least. It's interesting that someone that young can actually understand that people would do that without reason, actually. Hmm.]
enlightning: (There are places)

[personal profile] enlightning 2015-03-08 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
[It certainly is, but he's existed so for many generations that it hardly seems rare to stumble upon a bright child every once in a while. At least it means he probably won't get eaten alive around here. But hey, the good (?) news is his level of cleverness is keeping Yuan from just walking away and letting him be confused.

He gives a single nod.
]

Whoever created this has made it all too clear what they're ridiculing. It's not even worth giving them the satisfaction of watching it.

[Even though he saw pretty much all of the personalized stuff and reacted as well as anyone might have expected shhhh...]
tsuburaya_kun: (pic#6890758)

[personal profile] tsuburaya_kun 2015-03-08 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Right... [He thinks he's got it! ...And if that was one movie doing this, then...]

Mnnh, then the other movies are probably the same then..! [Nooooooooooooooooooooo curses--]
enlightning: (Some are dead)

[personal profile] enlightning 2015-03-12 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
[This kid is smarter than Kratos' and his is practically an adult. Frankly this was the level of logic he'd expect a child of the age range he was guessing to have if they expected to last much longer.]

That would be a logical assumption. They all seem like incredible wastes of time in the first place.
Edited (Screw my continually slow internet, I couldn't ignore that typo...) 2015-03-12 01:46 (UTC)
tsuburaya_kun: (ok time to sleep -3-)

[personal profile] tsuburaya_kun 2015-03-12 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Mnnnnn....

[He looks down to his popcorn.] I bought it for nothing then... [Hey kiddo just eat it wherever then.]
enlightning: (and some remain)

[personal profile] enlightning 2015-03-12 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh good, it was starting to look like you were worth more respect than he thought fitting for your age and species. Cue the condescending tone.]

If that's food, I'm sure you can eat it anywhere, Trying thinking things like that over first.

IV

[personal profile] archaeologicalmania 2015-03-08 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Raine raises an eyebrow at the outburst of one of the other viewers. She was just reliving the ride she'd had to endure in a hole-filled bucket over monster-infested waters after also being reminded of exactly what her darling brother thinks of her cooking. She frowns, still feeling a bit nauseous at the idea of being in a boat. It has her a little off her game, so his words don't immediately strike a chord with her as being strange.]

My, my. Getting so worked up over such simple matters.

[There's a subtle bite to her tone as she recognizes Yuan. Now that she's seen him, there's little point in hiding her presence.]

It hardly seems like you at all.

[Not that she really knows him. At least not on any level that could be construed as personal.]

((ooc: I haven't played her in forever! Sorry for being a bit rusty.))
enlightning: I couldn't keyword "with lovers and friends" it's Yuan (have their moments)

[personal profile] enlightning 2015-03-12 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Yuan has to look at her before he recognizes her as one of the companions of Sylvarant's Chosen. As self-conscious as he feels, her comments still get a condescending frown out of him. She's clearly a half-elf, too. The more embarrassing moments of discrimination they had tried to portray should have at least bothered her a little.]

Making ridiculous assumptions based on what little information you have does seem like you, though.

[Not that he really knows her either, he's just that much of a jerk. Does he even know her name? ...Really, I have no idea.]


[ooc: I don't think I've ever threaded with one so NO WORRIES~]

...Did you just make a sword appear out of nowhere? That's so cool!

[Hi, Yuan, hope you don't mind a tiny girl standing up in her seat a couple of rows in front of you to watch the action. It looks like no one's going to be watching this movie between the robot-fighting action and Nowi's really loud voice.]
enlightning: (There are places)

[personal profile] enlightning 2015-03-12 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[He has to stab this stupid thing first. Which he does without harming anyone around him. Thousands of years of experience can do that. He then turns his attention to the person obviously drawing attention to him, as much as he's perturbed by it.]

It was hardly nowhere, but if it seemed like that to you, I doubt you'd understand if I explained it.
