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

//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.

[Well, Tenka blinks in confusion for a moment before he just laughs and shakes his head. His other hand goes on top of Souza's then!!

Yeah! Camaraderie!!]


I never expected to have the Samonji sword offer to help me with cooking, but I'm not complaining.

I'm in your hands, Souza-kun!
prehensible: (we are just figurines)

[personal profile] prehensible 2015-03-08 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
I doubt anyone expect a sword to help them with cooking.. [ until it happens, anyway. ] Though this place is much more modern than I'm accustomed to, even belonging to saniwa-sama.

[ of course, he's currently ownerless, which is.. distressing. it's terrible not knowing who will own him next. what if it's someone awful..?

--he'd rather not think about it. instead, he pops the caramel-filled chocolate into his mouth. he's pleased at first, then surprised by the filling, then a little melty in his seat. ]


.. Oh. What was that one..?
sunshrouded: (☀ but i regret nothing)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-08 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
This Saniwa guy is your master or.... [tilts head thoughtfully] swordsman....? What do swords normally call their..... person anyway?

[This is interesting, okay!! Tenka doesn't use a sword anymore but he's still interested what the world must be like from their eyes. Though at the question, he's laughing as he digs for another one of the same candy. Pulling it up, he reads the wrapper.]

Chocolate and caramel mix! Is it really that good?
Edited 2015-03-08 01:38 (UTC)
prehensible: (& your compliments look good on me)

[personal profile] prehensible 2015-03-08 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Master and summoner, yes. Saniwa-sama gave us our human bodies for the sake of fighting a war. [ s-sigh. ] Which is, I fear, another very long story..

[ he shifts in his seat, turning to face tenka properly and curling a little more comfortably. ]

It was very good. I've had chocolate, but not the caramel part before.. Saniwa-sama introduces us to new things from time to time, but we keep so busy..
sunshrouded: (☀ sad smile are my hobby)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-08 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah.... His expression becomes a more concerned one at that. A war? Keeping busy with fighting probably then, right? So he glances around - it's a pretty empty lobby at least, considering that a lot of people are occupied with their movies right now.

So he shrugs and turns toward Souza before nudging another chocolate and caramel candy over to him.

Then with a curious look and a genuine smile, he tilts his head.]


I've got time for a long story if you don't mind sharing it.
prehensible: (if you ever catch me in a white lie)

[personal profile] prehensible 2015-03-08 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Ah-- [ he hesitates at the offer to listen, then plucks up the candy, pressing it lightly between thumb and forefinger as he considers what to say. ] Well.. in truth, Tenka-san, there's much that's beyond my understanding, and there are things that it's not my place to ask after.. but..

[ his teeth catch at his lower lip, eyes lifting to meet the human's. ]

To my understanding, there's an organization that wishes to re-write history to their benefit. We're sent to various points in time to fight them. [ a slightly embarrassed smile. ] To be quite honest, it all still seems a little unreal. But.. it's.. nice to be used for what I was created for once more.
sunshrouded: (☀ this is a mass text)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-08 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not sure what confuses him more. The time traveling or the-]

You... enjoy fighting in the war, Souza-kun?

[Okay yeah, that's what confuses him more. He's a little worried and it shows in his voice. Though he supposes that makes sense - if it's a sword's purpose....

But he does tilt his head regardless. The Souza in front of him seems so mild-mannered and kind. Tenka already feels upset at the idea of him getting hurt.]
prehensible: (love save the empty)

[personal profile] prehensible 2015-03-08 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ he hesitates at the question, struggling to put into words how he feels about the war. in the meantime, the poor candy suffers between his fingers, so he eventually pops the remains in his mouth, licking his fingers clean and then shaking his head. ]

I think the question you're truly asking is if I enjoy the war, which I do not. War is an ugly thing that consumes and ruins lives and nations. But..

[ he offers a small, slightly tired smile, brittle and uncertain at the edges. ]

.. I'm a sword, Tenka-san. I was forged for battle. I was created to serve and protect my master. I've.. I've missed doing that. [ he takes a trembling breath, curling his fingers together in his lap. ] I wasn't meant to-- to be kept in a cage. But it's all I've known since Oda-sama.
sunshrouded: (☀ booze all around!!)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-08 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Tenka watches his curling fingers and immediately reaches out. He puts a hand on top of Souza's hands, aiming to be a grounding force to provide support for those fragile smiles and uncertainty.]

Ah. Okay.

Then I'm glad - if you feel like you're fulfilled, that's what matters. As long as you're doing what makes you happy, that's all I wanted to know.

[With just as much certainty and probably overt friendliness, he nudges Souza's hand open to hold it properly, grinning brightly.]

No one's ever gonna put you in a cage again. Promise.
prehensible: (even at the end of the world)

[personal profile] prehensible 2015-03-08 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ the gesture makes his breath hitch a little. slowly, his fingers close around tenka's, emotion swelling in his chest, leaving it feeling too tight. it aches, but not like the brand on his chest. it's.. kind of a good ache, actually.

no one's ever promised him something like that. even the sage who'd given him this body. and even if tenka's lying, or naive, or foolish, it's beautiful to hear. ]


You shouldn't.. promise things like that, [ he murmurs, but when he lifts his head again, there's warmth in the mismatched eyes and in the curve of his mouth. ] .. Thank you for saying it, though.
sunshrouded: (☀ may or may not be wearing a cape right)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-08 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
I don't make promises I can't keep.

[Tenka makes a lot of promises but none of them are ever said with anything but the complete and total belief he can help make them come true.

So with renewed energy, he grins and closes his hand around Souza's, squeezing reassuringly as he reaffirms:]


I, Tenka, 14th Head of the Kumou Clan, swear that no one will ever put the Samonji sword - that's you, Souza-kun - in a cage ever again. I'll even get you outta there myself if I have to!

You have my word. And I never break my word.
prehensible: (that you're not mine to keep)

[personal profile] prehensible 2015-03-08 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ swearing using his title and family like that is reckless, so much so that souza nearly pulls his hands away to clap them over tenka's mouth in order to keep him from doing so. souza isn't his responsibility--unless he claims him--and they're still basically strangers. why would he do something like this for him?

he finds that he's trembling a little at the end of it, though, eyes very wide and face pale. ]


T-Tenka-san.. [ his vision is blurring, and he finally frees a hand to dash it across his eyes, wiping away the gathering moisture. ] I'm no one that you should trouble yourself over in such a way. You-- [ he manages a shaky, emotional little laugh. ] Are you always like this with strangers..?
sunshrouded: (☀ this is a mass text)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-08 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . He actually puts weight into the question, tilting his head.]

Hmm.... I guess so. If I like them then I don't see anything wrong with wanting to be good to them. [As for what made him decide that he liked Souza, he takes initiative to answer:] You're really honest, Souza-kun. It makes me want to be honest with you too.

[ . . . But he does pause for a moment to frown faintly, concerned. He didn't mean to make him cry.]

Did I say something wrong though....

[There's nothing wrong with crying. Tenka has never thought so. But normally he can pinpoint a reason... Here, he's not sure what he did.]

prehensible: (even at the end of the world)

[personal profile] prehensible 2015-03-08 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Good heavens. [ he lowers his hand when he's certain his eyes are dry again, curling it a little hesitantly over tenka's and squeezing it. ] Making declarations like that.. I'm quite old, you know, Tenka-san, but I can't say that anyone's ever made a promise like that to me. I am just.. a sword, after all, no matter how I might appear to you.

[ he hesitates, then lifts his hand away again, reaching up to gently brush fingertips over tenka's jaw, allowing them to fall away a moment later. ]

You're a very kind person. I'm very lucky to have met you tonight, I think.
sunshrouded: (☀ i just walked into the party)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-08 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
You're probably older than me then... but if I can correct you then - you're never just anything. You're Souza-kun and whether you're a sword or a spirit, you're already great.

[How does he say these things with a straight face.... but ah well, he shakes his head faintly then.]

I think I'm the lucky one anyway - you've agreed to help me with my cooking! That counts for something.

.... Though I guess.... I mean, you're new here, right? Unless you have other plans, you could always come live with me too.... But only if you want!

[?????? Tenka is so quick to invite people into his home]</small
prehensible: (the darkest part of me)

[personal profile] prehensible 2015-03-08 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Quite a bit older, I imagine. [ amusement shows itself in the wry twist of his mouth. ] Though I haven't had this shape very long.

[ he listens to the halting offer, and by the time tenka's finished, he's blushing brightly again, mismatched eyes wide. ]

T-Tenka-san, that's quite forward.. [ his gaze slides away briefly, flustered and suddenly a little shy. ] Though.. I suppose it would make sense. To be able to help you cook-- [ read: cook for you ] --and to be certain you're a bit more careful with the things you promise to strangers..
sunshrouded: (☀ just sat at a stop sign for 10 minutes)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-08 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . yeah, forward is kind of Tenka's lifestyle. Literally shoving his ideas and dreams down the throats of others until they adopt them as their own - but at least he's eager and earnest!! Still though.... he can't help but laugh happily at the acceptance.]

Really?!

-- hey wait, I don't need to be more careful, Souza-kun....

[ . . . . a thoughtful hum.] But if that's what it takes to get you to agree, then sure. If you say so, I guess.
prehensible: (tangled in the weeds in my messy bed)

[personal profile] prehensible 2015-03-08 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yes. yes, tenka really does need to be more careful. what a reckless human being. he's so different from literally all of souza's prior owners that he almost doesn't know what to do with him. but then, his personality is like some of the shinsengumi blades and the tantos he mothers, so it's.. familiar enough at the same time.

he clicks his tongue with a rueful shake of his head. ]


Tenka-san, as a human being, I think it's quite possible that you're too trusting if you'll pardon my saying. [ s-sigh. ] .. Though it appears to be part of your charm..
sunshrouded: (☀ i'm the winner!!)

[1/2]

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-08 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[sorry it appears he latched onto one part of that and one part alone:]

Well it's true that I'm quite charming...
sunshrouded: (☀ this cute fucker)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-08 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . hah. Okay he keeps that look up for a second before he seems to laugh at himself, shaking his head.]

You worry too much, Souza-kun.
prehensible: (now my soul is sore)

[personal profile] prehensible 2015-03-08 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ .. ah this is the man he's going to be living with, yes... ]

I suppose that I do.. [ he curls a few strands of his hair around his index finger, looking a little sheepish. ] It comes of having brothers, I suppose.
sunshrouded: (☀ i just walked into the party)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-08 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Good job Souza, you've hit one of Tenka's major topics of interest: family.

So at the mention of brothers he's perking up and smiling before he even says a word. But he loves talking about family and he doesn't know how swords can be brothers but that's a minor detail.]


Ah? You too, Souza-kun?

Are you the eldest too?
prehensible: (i heard the news today;)

[personal profile] prehensible 2015-03-08 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ his smile returns, warming his whole expression. ] I have two. [ two that he's aware of, anyway. surely his creator had made other blades in his lifetime, but not all of them had survived, and they'd always been separated from one another. ] All three of us were crafted in the 14th century, but I can't recall the year that I was forged. Kousetsu might know. .. Either way, he's taller than I am and he does his best to take care of Sayo and I, so I think he suits the oldest brother role well. [ he leans against the back of the bench, curling neatly into it like a pink kitten. ] Sayo is a tanto, so he's small. He looks perpetually like a child, and in a lot of ways, he really is one. [ his smile fades a little, gaze ducking to his hands, curled in his lap. ] .. I do what I can to make certain he knows he's loved. He deserves so much better than what he's had to experience..

[ he takes a deep breath, then releases it slowly, glancing back up again. the smile's strong again, amusement flickering into his mismatched eyes. ] .. They're not quite so dramatically-coloured as I am, if you were wondering. They both have blue hair and eyes. [ that established, he shifts to peer at tenka in apparent deep interest. ] What about you, Tenka-san? You said that you're the eldest in your family? What are your siblings like? Are they here? [ slow down, souza. don't overwhelm him with questions. ]
sunshrouded: (☀ these keywords got lazier)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-09 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . heh. Tenka relaxes a bit then, looking considerably more serious as Souza goes on about his brothers. But that should come as no surprise - Tenka knows plenty about thinking that his younger brothers deserve more from the world than what they've gotten. So he hums in affirmation before digging through the candy again, idly. Chuutarou would like these, he thinks.]

I've got two little brothers - Soramaru and Chuutarou. Soramaru's 16 years old and he's getting bigger and better every day. He was here for a bit but... well, he's not here anymore, but I know that he's safer back home so I think that's fine. Chuutarou hasn't shown up yet though - he's the baby of the family, just 12 years old. Thinks he's invincible and never worries about anything for too long... I really envy him!!

[But he laughs happily and unabashedly, full of warmth. His brothers aren't with him, but they truly are the source of his strength.]

They're rambunctious kids and there's never a dull moment with either of them. [And he meets Souza's eyes then, his own unbearably soft with fondness.] They're my whole world.
prehensible: (even at the end of the world)

[personal profile] prehensible 2015-03-09 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ his expression lights up as tenka talks about his brothers. what cute names. he has to wonder if they'd get along with sayo. to be honest, he's not sure how sayo will weather the decades and centuries, being eternally a boy-- but however he'll manage, souza intends to be there for him. as long as he can, anyway. ] I suppose that's the prerogative of children. They shouldn't have to worry about things. [ he reaches out, gathering one of tenka's hands up again, squeezing it affectionately. ] You sound like a wonderful big brother.

[ he strokes a thumb briefly over the other man's knuckles-- he's a tactile creature. having known a great deal of unpleasant touch and handling in his life, he finds that he's quite fond of things like this, and people that don't mind his desire for positive contact. ]

It must be a little scary, though, watching them grow up..
