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.

wow is that a challenge!!!

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-07 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[... He's at least come into contact with enough names that aren't Japanese to be able to figure out how to address her.

Last name is Nikos, then, probably. And he does take the handshake, shaking her hand simply but firmly as well.]


Very well then. Should you require further assistance, tell me.

[He can grant it, probably, and it's...in his nature to want to at least make sure that everyone who's dragged her is okay.]
reuser: (45)

...no because either way, I'd lose ):

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-08 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ Handshake done, her hands clasp neatly behind her back. It's a kind offer and she's appreciative, but Pyrrha doesn't know quite what to ask. So far everything has been - painfully clear.

It's not quite requiring help, but she chances the question regardless - ]


Are you military?
deontology: (XV.)

... <33333 c:

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-08 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Their postures would be mirrored, but his arms are crossed in front of him, not behind him. Nonetheless, their postures are both rather ramrod straight.]

...Yes.

[Sort of. Close enough. Not enough of a difference to correct her, really.]

I am the captain of my squad. [Which means very little here, but she's asking, so he'll tell her.]
reuser: (46)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-08 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Then —

[ She hesitates for a moment, before continuing: ]

It would be Captain Abe, yes? [ You always show a ranking officer the due respect, even if you're not technically under his command. Pyrrha is a creature of formalities and titles as much as anything. ] Or just Captain?
deontology: (XXVII.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-09 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
[It...has been a very long time since he's been called "Captain", he feels. Back home, that was the common term of address. "Captain", "captain", "captain". "Captain, what should we do?" "Captain, should I do it?"

His team, looking to him for direction, and people, looking at him with respect for his rank as commander of the Yamainu.

...He nods after a moment, expression calm.]


"Captain" is fine, if that is what you prefer. [It's familiar, at least.]
reuser: (12)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-10 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Captain.

[ It’s said with a smile, affirming. This would all be a very nice encounter, except for the robot sliding up to lecture them about fire safety regulations and informing Sousei that his ponytail is not in keeping with the proper codes.

Pyrrha is mystified, but begins to interject regardless - ]


Excuse me, but I think—

[ Made provably unhappy by being interrupted, the robot growls out, ] SILENCE, SLUT!

[ ...

Well, she’s silent, at least. She’s too surprised to be anything else. ]
deontology: (LXXX.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-10 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh my god he hates robots. From his first encounter with them, when they had been trying to murder him for a crime he didn't commit, he has yet to see robots that were worth having around. So when this robot proves itself more than an irritation, Sousei's expression grows faintly aggravated.]

Come. There is no reason to remain here.

[and it is the moment the robot moves to follow them, still full of tiny robot anger, that Sousei turns in one smooth movement, slamming his sheathed sword into the thing, aiming for where he knows, by now, the robot is weakest--at the seams of the metal that is fused together.

He then turns and continues walking as if nothing had ever happened, leaving the robot on its side, unable to get back up due to the nature of its design. oh well. let's blow this joint--]
reuser: (58)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-10 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, Captain.

[ If she’s at all startled by the show of force, she doesn’t indicate it physically. Anyway, it’s unlikely - the short sword and shield on her back speak of combat experience.

Following him like the most obedient of baby ducklings, waddle waddle. ]
deontology: (LXIV.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-10 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[She is an obedient duckling, and they make it out of the theater and the crowd without further trouble. Even obnoxious crowds of people tend to get out of Sousei's way, though he isn't wearing his military uniform. Nonetheless, he carries his rank like a cloak, and that on top of his rather flat expression gets people to scurry out of their way.

It is when they are peacefully away from all of that and in the middle of the entertainment district of Cerealia that he glances at her again.]


You may be stuck here for some time. Your first action should be becoming accustomed to this place, so you are able to react properly to surprises.
reuser: (33)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-11 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Although listening dutifully, Pyrrha also finds herself looking around. The entertainment district is pitched bright, neon crackles on every corner and every peripheral line. She only barely knows it for what it is, however. The initiation speech had not included a detailed tour. Some of what she sees is familiar, translated from the world of Remnant to this new world; different shapes but similar meanings. Other things are wholly beyond her.

However, Pyrrha suspects Sousei means more than the cursory layout. ]


Do you still get surprised?
deontology: (XV.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-11 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[...what a question... Sousei is quiet for a moment as he leads the way, still intending to get out of the entertainment district. From there, it isn't so far to the residential area, and that is significantly less grating to him, even if still entirely alien.

But he nods, because anything else would be a lie.]


Yes. [he says as surprise basically never shows on his face ever.] The things that happen here are often utterly unpredictable, and have shown little in the way of a pattern.

[... from ghosts to video games to snow days...... it's hard, okay.]

It is most important to be prepared, so you are able to react promptly despite the surprise. [it's what he would tell his own squad, if they were here. Don't try to predict the happenings, just try to be ready to react nonetheless.]
reuser: (46)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-11 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ As the lights of the entertainment district fall away, Pyrrha continues to look around. There are landmarks, either familiar or otherwise, and she does her best to file them away. If this world truly is her home now, as some would have her believe, then there are worst things than knowing her way around.

If she knew the advice mirrored anything he would say to the soldiers under his command, she’d be honoured. As it is, Pyrrha errs on the side of calm gratitude and careful studiousness. ]


Understood.

[ It’s not hard for her, although Pyrrha’s course of action often tends toward engaging the problem in combat. Like all Beacon students. ]

Is there ever any physical danger? [ She’ll protect you, Captain!! ]
deontology: (VIII.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-11 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Why do all of his new puppies always want to protect him!!! He can handle himself!!!

But nonetheless, he nods immediately, because there's no need to sugarcoat or cushion what is the truth. She has weaponry. Presumably, she wouldn't carry it around if she couldn't use it, and she carries herself like on that's combat ready.

Sousei has never thought to underestimate women, either--his childhood friend is the scariest person he knows, that's for certain, and she never wanted to be anything less than feminine.]


Yes, there is. The threats can range from the simple, such a robots [assassinbots are simple to him, okay...] to the incorporeal, such as ghosts. [still pretty easy for him to deal with since he's a cheating asshole with a magical sword, but some people find ghosts to be difficult.]

You appear to be competent in combat. [or so he's assuming.] Is that correct?
reuser: (40)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-13 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Because you’re Captain!!

Robots, check. Ghosts, check. Pyrrha’s never engaged either in combat, but robots have the inherent disadvantage of being (in theory, anyway) made mostly of metal alloy. Ghosts, on the other hand - well, how is Pyrrha supposed to fight something she can’t touch? It’s an intimidating prospect but not one she gives too much needless attention to.

Jaune would think of something, she thinks belatedly. If Pyrrha believes little else, she believes that much. ]


Yes.

[ She draws herself up, shoulders and all. There’s more that could be said about her overall competency but, quite economically, she refrains. Rather - ]

But I’m still only in training.

[ lol k pyrrha ]
deontology: (XX.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-13 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[... ok pyrrha whatever you say.

Sousei inspects her for a moment, before nodding simply.]


I see. Then make sure you continue to keep up your training here. There is no time to allow your skills to slip.
reuser: (32)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-14 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course.

[ Proudly maintaining her drawn stance and straight back, as if to say, I would do no less.

Not that she actually says it, however. Pyrrha is, at times, a young woman of few words. ]

deontology: (LXXV.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-15 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[His gaze lingers on her a moment longer, taking in her posture and the way she says those words--and then, satisfied, he nods.]

There are places you can train. There is a gym with a dojo--that is where I do my training.

[It's what's familiar to him, after all.]

Should that suit you, you are welcome there.

[He doesn't take students on or people who are a waste of his time, but...Pyrrha is not.]
reuser: (65)

1/2

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-15 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Technically, he’s in no real position to be issuing invitations to a public space but Pyrrha is able to recognize the invitation for what it is - a gesture of welcoming, camaraderie or something close to. Having lived her life in comparable social isolation, she responds warmly, all smiles and easy intentions. Her happiness is stately, as ever, but far from unrecognisable. ]

I would be delighted.

[ SHE’S JUST REALLY TOUCHED, OKAY. People are usually too intimidated to train with her. ]
reuser: (84)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-15 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it nearby? I'll go check it out—

[ And, apparently, her excitement is getting the better of her. She turns and, yup - nearly collides with another robot. Animal instinct has her send the thing flying down the road without a single gesture out of place; to an on-looker, it would seem as if the small robot went shooting off on its own.

You know what, though? She's going to call after it - ]


I'm sorry!
deontology: (XVII.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-16 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[There, there, Pyrrha, you'll have to work very hard to intimidate someone like Sousei, if it's even possible.

So... like this, even, he just blinks at, slowly crossing his arms before him again. ...Hm. There are all sorts of people with strange abilities here, and it seems that she has some as well--unsurprisingly.

But he's just watching her carefully, expression thoughtful.]


...I will be interested in seeing more of that, for example.

[he's very curious]
reuser: (73)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-17 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Pyrrha stays turned for another moment, the trail of her upkept hair between his vision and her face. It’s easy enough to assume she’s watching the small robot fly off, becoming a speck in the distant horizon, but she’s also avoiding the weight of his gaze. She had been discreet, up until the reflexive apology, and now - the line her mouth takes is slightly dour, and when she does look at him again, it’s with clear consideration. ]

...alright.

[ It’s decisively said, but after a noted pause. ]

One day, I’d be happy to show you.

[ But not yet. ]
deontology: (LXXV.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-18 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, it isn't as if he's going to push it. If it's a fighting technique she prefers to keep to herself, he can certainly understand that. So he nods simply, crossing his arms behind him again, and turns to continue their little impromptu tour.]

Very well then.

[Someday is fine by him. He's not bothered by it, which he shows by carrying right along.]

The only other warning I have to give is that this place is capable of...making you act unlike yourself, at times.

[and it sucks]
reuser: (41)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-18 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That’s certainly worrying. Pyrrha’s fingers tense and relax in turn. She’s feeling out the magnetic energies around her, reminding herself how easy it would be to summon Miló and Akoúo̱ if something did happen. When the enemy is her, however - ]

I see.

[ Considering, thoughtful, but wary. ]

I’d appreciate it if you could tell me more about that. [ And, it’s made obvious from her tone that this is where her wariness lies. Not in the physical threats, but the internal ones. ]

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-20 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[There are things he's not going to tell her. He's not going to tell her too many details about how embarrassingly emotional and Yandere he was there for awhile, without any hope of changing it. Instead--]

They are capable of changing the way we act, and there is little we can do to stop it. I have had it happen myself, and did not even realize I was not myself until the situation was finished.

[It sucks. It's the only threat he's really wary about as well, but... it's a doozy of one.]
reuser: (32)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-21 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Her fingers flex, half-apprehensively, gloves creaking with it. ]

Were you alright?
