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

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.

[ What is this, bag of popcorn, why are you betraying him.. why are you hitting him in the head. You come here, into not-quite-his cinema, on this day, the day of the wedding of his daughter--

Okay, no, what's really happening is that Shinpachi lets out a loud sound (he may not be Heisuke, but anyone would be startled by SUDDEN POPCORN ATTACKING YOU, okay) as it hits him before he's quickly looking around for the source. Thankfully he's not as much in U WANNA GO mode as certain other people might have been, considering he does know it could've just been an accident.. but that's exactly what he wants to establish here, okay, if it's on purpose after all then he has to make sure to knock some heads.

Except when he spots the source of the flying popcorn, he blinks a few times and stills-- hey, that's actually a familiar person. One he's seen in this place before, but certainly not recently.. ]


... Yuuki-chan?

[ Then again, if she doesn't recognize him again then this is going to be a very awkward third round. ]

[ pretty sure the wedding for your daughter was cancelled in the beginning of this movie Kill Bill wedding crashing style, anyway...!!

The noise snaps her out of her momentary panic and yuuki instinctively reaches out to try and save a few final falling popcorns she can get to in time. Which, should probably be done but even without her vampire speed she'd always be quick to rescue her food when it falls into unspeakable dangers!

—fine, so she manages to catch three or so, her delay just a little too much for any miracles.

Yuuki perks at the sound of her name, yes, but moreso because as cautious as it is, she remembers that voice very well (and her fondness towards them even more). Jerking her attention up (...way up, it's a hard life when you are a good few inches shorter than chizuru with these guys, okay...), her expression lighting up.

She's surprised but doesn't seem even willing to question it at this point, too drawn by a familiar person (who remembers her?! Even after—)
]

Shinpachi-nii!!!

[ she hasn't even managed to consider he could have met another version of her in this place already—or that it's not her Shinpachi, just a coincidence he knew her somewhere else.

So, it's why she can't really keep her restraint, she practically trips herself a few times get to where he is in reaching distance, even if in the row in front or behind and will reach to hug him around his midsection regardless of if she has to drape over an in-the-way seat or not, like a child who hasn't seen someone they adore in some time.
]

[personal profile] nostatus 2015-03-08 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, at least that solves the problem of him not checking to see if it's a Yuuki who knows him.. because even if the other Yuuki latched onto him fairly easily too (he figures it's just a typically her kind of thing by now), she never did call him by that name. It's something only the one he met in Zelien did, and the over the top hug only confirms it.

Good thing Shinpachi doesn't mind over the top anything. Living over the top is his style, so even though she may be hanging half over a chair and some other people who just want to see the movie are starting to complain, he really doesn't give a shit.

He just smiles - softly, even - since he's so glad to see she's alright. He was worried when she disappeared, who knows what happens to the people who disappear in this place if their worlds are really gone. But this is just Yuuki the way he knew her in Zelien, just as bubbly and happy. ]


Oi, oi, you'll break your back!

[ His smile grows a little wider until it's his usual grin, and he just grabs her in return and.. well, he's basically just lifting her into the air, even if it means having to pry her off him for a second so he's even capable of doing it to begin with. But this is for Yuuki's own good so she doesn't stretch herself into three weeks of muscle aching over a hug..

Besides, it's not like she's that heavy, so he can easily just pull her over until he's princess carrying her. This is totally normal to him, okay, don't mind this, people around them.. ]


There! Much better.

[ she does not seem to mind the thought of back issues, doing everything she can to hold tight, even if others are complaining. Yuuki wants to make sure he is real, afterall— and not lose him if he is. Not only is it a familiar face, they recognize her, too, which suddenly makes ending up in this place countless times more tolerable.

She shakes her head against midsection at his concern about her back—yuuki doesn't care has too much urgency to stay attached to him in case he might disappear.

When he plucks her off to be picked up, princess style no less, she is surprised, but she is just so relieved and happy to see him she doesn't care. The people are them don't even register into her train of thought still and she reaches out to use both hands to cup Shinpachi's face and be able to give him a good look because just in case... just in case she can totally make sure it's her Shinpachi and not simply one that doesn't remember Zelien, just the she of this place that has apparently already been there (just him knowing her in general is enough for her but...!)
]

...It's definitely you.

[ while she'd gone serious then, her smile is back again but transferring her hands from her face to wrap her arms around his neck, she shifts enough to be able to bury her face on his shoulder as tears start welling up. She's not upset, she's just so relieved and happy, because she lost Zero and Kaito and Shouichi amongst others when she arrived in Zelien, and, although she steeled herself when arriving here to accept it would be the same as she found no one upon arrival, either, to be proved wrong opens up the emotional floodgates. ]

I'm so glad, I thought—


[ admitting it now is just as upsetting but also relieving because it's a fear she had unwarranted and so... ]

...thought I'd never see you again!

[personal profile] nostatus 2015-03-11 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Shinpachi doesn't seem to mind her hold on his face - he probably realises what she's trying to do, anyway. He gets it. First with Yuuki, then with Oz.. he's met people here who didn't remember Zelien nor him, so she's probably trying to make sure that twinkle of recognition in his eyes is really there. So Shinpachi patiently waits, letting her stare like that no matter what it might look like to anyone else, and then when she instead drops her face against his shoulder he tightens his hold on her a little. ]

Well, no need to think 'bout it anymore then. It's me, after all.

[ He smiles. He made her cry before, and back then it freaked him out.. but it's mostly since it's a different kind of crying. Back then he hardly realised what he did wrong until it was too late, and now he just knows she's trying to express her relief over it. It's what Yuuki is like - really emotional and prone to showing it right away.

Slowly Shinpachi moves out of the row of seats though while carrying her like that. Not since he minds standing there, but mostly since he sure doesn't want any of the other people here to pipe up and start complaining about it while Yuuki is crying. He'd have to kick them in the face to shut them up since his hands are occupied and it'd just be a huge pain, okay..

It's not until they're off to the side of the hall that he speaks up again. ]


You 'kay? [ Aside from the tears, but that's not what he's aiming at anyway. ] You weren't stuck for too long by yourself, right?

[ Got to make sure his little sis is okay first.. ]

[ she wouldn't care what it looked like to other people, anyway. They should only wish to be so lucky, honestly. Not to mention, Yuuki isn't exactly paying attention to much else other than Shinpachi since he's absolutely the only one that matters.

Having already met Souji, she'd set herself up for just about every and any disappointment, but truthfully if she considers it now Shinpachi having forgotten her would have not been something she could take well in the end. Maybe she would have been able to mostly not show it—but she didn't have the mental excuses that she hd for herself concerning Souji. Souji's fickle, Souji didn't have the fondness for Yuuki that she had for him to begin with, Souji has always been out of her reach to make a lasting impression on (a meaningful one, anyway, past being annoying to him). She could justify she hadn't lost much in his lack of remembering, because the only one of them who felt affected enough by the other to care in the first place was her. Souji in Zelien wouldn't have cared.

And so, she's ... tolerant and accepting of that situation. It's like with Zero. But where Souji is like Zero, Shinpachi is like Yori. And even if Yori had hated her for what she really was (she didn't, though...), it would have been better than her forgetting her.

(Yori was her most precious friend, afterall—)

So, that realization just makes her even more relieved that he didn't forget, but even so she tries very hard not to prolong her crying. If anything, she would rather not draw the attention of other people, although at the same time she would gladly stick her foot in the face of any rude individuals to help big bro out with that sort of mess.

When he asks, though, Yuuki nods, bringing a sleeve of her uniform to rub at her eyes to try and stop herself from crying more. Enough is enough, she tells herself.
]

Mm..! I saw a different movie earlier and came across Okita-san before coming to see this one, so ...

[ she trails off, then, blinking before looking to him. ]

Eh—Shinpachi-nii came to this movie alone?! Why didn't he bring a date! [ ok maybe violent movies weren't for all girls... or guys... ??? She has no idea, but surely...!]
nostatus: (side by side)

[personal profile] nostatus 2015-03-15 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's so very much like Yuuki to just be jumping on any other random topic right after crying her eyes out. He's not even surprised by her suddenly changing topics like that anymore - if anything, he gladly goes along with it, letting out a warm laugh despite the fact that she makes him sound rather pathetic even if she might not mean to.. ]

Ah, yeah. Guess I really did come alone, huh? [ Not that he can imagine Leanne watching a movie involving velociraptors.. probably. Maybe he should ask her about her feelings on dinosaurs sometime, she is more of an action girl than Shinpachi thought at first, after all.

But he shoves the thought of that to the back of his mind to deal with later. Right now he mostly wants to focus his attention on Yuuki so he can get her to smile more and cry a little less, even if the tears are ones of relief. ]


Maybe that means I came here to make sure no weird guys are harassing my cute little sister!

[ Because seriously, he'll kick them in the face.. EVEN SOUJI IF HE HAS TO.. ]

I must've scared 'em all right off, since I can't see any around right now. [ He proudly grins - it's mostly just a joke, or at least an exaggeration for Yuuki's sake.. but whatever, he can roll with it. Dramatics might as well be Shinpachi's middle name. ]
weightlessly: (pic#2916206)

[personal profile] weightlessly 2015-03-16 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ she'd love velociraptors, okay. Yuuki knows this—or she will when she puts all the pieces together.

She perks at his admittance, but at his comment about coming here along for her sake, Yuuki puffs her cheeks slightly because she totally knows better than that?! He didn't know she was here (did he...?!)

But she does glance around at his comment about scaring them all away and she does let out a small sigh of relief. Not that anyone was really bothering her but still if Shinpachi and Souji are here, that means the others could be as well and Kazama was a little bit angering to her with his issues.

But that aside, she's quite glad to be in good company now.
]

You're the best! This place in general is a little creepy even though it is nicer than Zelien. The robot staff is a little scary, too... I don't get it, really, but ...
nostatus: (back to question every effort)

[personal profile] nostatus 2015-03-16 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's totally opting to ignore the cheek puffing over here. What do you mean, he totally knew Yuuki was here and came to help her out, he's not a friendless loser coming to the movies by him.. se.. lf.... not at all...

And hey, since she's so nicely chattering on, it's easy to ignore it to begin with. And it'll be pretty damn hard to wipe that happy grin off his face unless this all turns out to be some weirdass illusion and Yuuki wasn't here again all along. ]


Yeah, this place's better than Zelien. [ Because nothing could be worse than Zelien. Sure, he's watched a friend die in both places, but at least in this place it was only once.. and it wasn't because he had to put him down himself or anything.. relatively speaking anything seems better after Zelien. ]

It can still be pretty dangerous in its own way though, even when it doesn't seem like it. [ Killer clowns. ] So try to be careful, yeah?

[ He figures he should probably put a little emphasis on it.. Yuuki "SHINPACHI-NII A SNAKE ATE MY PLUSH" Kuran... Climbs up windows and deals with Kazama and gets involved with every single bit of possible danger ever. ]

Although you can always count on me whenever you need help.

[personal profile] weightlessly 2015-03-17 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
I'll work hard not to trouble you unless it's something unavoidable.

[ that snake thing? Totally unavoidable.

She considers it for a few seconds before her expression grows a little curious.
]

Hey... is that the only movie you've seen?
nostatus: (inside your head)

[personal profile] nostatus 2015-03-18 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's still a doubtful statement when it's Yuuki.. not since he doesn't trust her - he thinks she's very cutely genuine about things, it's what endears her to him - but more just since she seems like a trouble magnet.. or the kind of girl who wouldn't know what would be considered something that'd trouble him even if it was dancing in front of her stark naked.

The question surprises him a little bit though, and he raises his eyebrows as he looks a little down at her. ]


Nah, not the only one.. I saw a few before in Zelien.

[ Even if that was.. an Experience.. mostly since he didn't realise they were movies rather than real events until halfway through, whoops. ]

They're pretty amazing though..! I've seen some pretty weird stuff from later times, but I think I could live with these coming to Japan, at least. [ If only you knew, Shinpachi.. ]
weightlessly: (pic#2916668)

[personal profile] weightlessly 2015-03-21 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ it takes her a moment of listening to him talk about Zelien movies before she realizes he's gone totally on the wrong track of where she was about to go with this question.

Clutching at the fabric at his shoulders, Yuuki attempts to shake him him to make sure he doesn't get distracted and miss how serious this is right now.

Her face = seriousness defined.
]

Shinpachi-nii, that's not what I mean!! I meant—did you see anything weird while watching the movie? I saw something weird in both movies I watched here, already; but it's not just me, right?

[ she hopes she isn't crazy.

She hopes Shinpachi doesn't think she's crazy by having not seen anything himself.
]
nostatus: (i'm on it get on it)

[personal profile] nostatus 2015-03-22 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The clutching of his clothes get his attention. And even though he looks down puzzled at her for a moment, there's something in his expression that grows a little bit more serious at the same time. ]

.. No, I haven't seen anything weird.

[ But then again, this is the first movie here he bothered to see, and he got suddenly distracted by Yuuki's popcorn rain over there.. so it's not like he thinks it's impossible for something weird to really have been in the movie. He doesn't trust this place that much, after all - and he trusts Yuuki a lot more than he ever would trust this place to begin with.

It's why his hold on her shifts a little, gets a little more tight.. not painfully so, but more like he's preparing himself to be able to protect her in case some shit does start going down here. ]


What did you see, Yuuki-chan?
weightlessly: (pic#2916837)

[personal profile] weightlessly 2015-03-24 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she looks at him for a moment, as if she's trying to put all the words together to tell him, because it's not that she wants to keep any secrets from him, but his hold adjusting tells her that while what she saw may have not been seen by him (or not seen anything similar), this place may be better than Zelien, but he did warn her earlier. ]

Just... strange images of people on the screen or in place of the stuff happening in the movie. [ she says it rather lamely; the humiliating and embarrassing stuff was easier to reflect on than morbid things or otherwise. she wonders briefly if there's any real connection. ]

...It's okay, though, I think. The first world I was in, it was poisoned, so maybe it's just remnants of that. It was really bad on the mind there. [ which isn't cool to talk about because she hasn't forgotten Zero going off the deepend. ]
nostatus: (we're growing older)

[personal profile] nostatus 2015-03-27 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He glances back at the screen for one more moment - not seeing anything particularly strange - before he looks back at her, shaking his head lightly. ]

Don't assume it's just you. This place is just as weird as Zelien in some ways, it's probably trying to pull something. [ And the last thing he wants is them screwing with Yuuki right now she's popped up here, honestly.. don't do that to his adopted little sister. ] Don't let it get you paranoid, thinking it's you.

[ With that he moves to slowly and carefully put her down on the ground, making sure she's standing upright on her own feet before he lets go enough to give her a (slightly rough) hair ruffle. ]

Instead of thinking about it too hard, let's get you something. How about some cake, huh?

[ That's what young girls like, right.. probably.. ]
weightlessly: (pic#1159199)

[personal profile] weightlessly 2015-03-29 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ for what it is worth she takes his words to heart, which actually says quite a lot about her willingness to trust his advice. Where she might choose to flip back and forth on her decision the longer it gets questioned, Shinpachi's always been straightforward. Even if he's wrong in the end, he make a decisions sound as if a wrong choice doesn't exist.

That sort of confidence in following yourself through and being willing to take on the results is inspiring and she nods even as she's put down.
]

I won't get paranoid, because Shinpachi-nii wouldn't if in my situation!

[ and it's true, because Yuuki really does look up to him for these sorts of things. She blinks at his next suggestion, though, her expression growing in slight awe because— ]

They actually have cakes here—?!

[ she will never turn down delicious food, especially after Zelien and Nuadoria. Their menu choices were the worst, honestly... ]
nostatus: (one awkward conversation)

[personal profile] nostatus 2015-03-29 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Shinpachi can't help but smile at the sight. First of all since Yuuki is putting that much faith into him - which just means he has to live up to it, but he's sure not worried about that - but also since she's already getting all amazed and excited over something again.

Typically Yuuki, really. ]


They sure do!

[ And he's glad to at least be able to deliver some good news here inbetween everything else. ]

No more creamed corn for any of us. Sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it? [ Because Shinpachi sure understands that terrible part about Zelien.. ]
