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.

Asbel Lhant | Tales of Graces

[personal profile] preserves 2015-03-09 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Ticket Booth

[ Well this was... strange.

Asbel stands in front of the ticket booth, a little awkwardly at that. He's even seen anything like this. Well, besides the weird machines Pascal was always working with and the only slight resemblance from Fodra. Still, it was new and strange and something the boy couldn't quite understand. But he was suppose to pick one of these to watch, right?

Maybe he should ask for suggestions...
]

Hey, uh, have you seen any of these before?

[ Striking up casual conversation!? Please don't tell him he's the only one out of the loop here. ]

Theatre I

[ Alright, so Asbel finally decides on a movie to watch!! Really, he wasn't into these types of things (they're for girls, right?) but being the responsible person that he was, he had to made sure this was something he could bring his friends back to see, especially Sophie.

... However, not even fifteen minutes into the film and Asbel was already regretting his Life Decisions.
]

Wh... what is this!? [ Alarmed and embarrassed, the boy watches with horror filled eyes as images from his past is overlapped by these- these sounds!?

Nope. Nope. He's not going to do this to himself anymore, so excuse him if he just so happens to bump into you while trying to scurry out of the room.
]

Oops, sorry about that-!

Wildcard

[ Anything could go here- have at it! ]
gareki: tsunkuuyandere (009)

let's combine prompt one and two??

[personal profile] gareki 2015-03-09 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A grumpy and impatient teenage boy is waiting behind Asbel. He's tapping his foot as he watches the other boy struggle with the ticket booth. ]

You've never seen a ticket booth before?

[ What backwater country did he come from? Maybe he should help the poor guy out. The sooner he helps this person get a ticket, the quicker he can pick his own and get a good seat. ]

Do you need some help?
preserves: (pic#5976798)

works for me!!

[personal profile] preserves 2015-03-09 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ SWEATS. Wow, some people aren't are privileged as others, okay!? Even though he's technically a Lord... but details.

There's a nervous smile at this point, a hand reaching to rub the side of his head.
] Yeah, sorry about that. We really don't have these things where I come from-

[ not that he partially cares, considering this whole ordeal is confusing by itself. ]

But yeah, I'd really appreciate it! Which one do you think I should go to?
gareki: tsunkuuyandere (038)

[personal profile] gareki 2015-03-09 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I suppose there are places like that...

[ Not every single place will flourish with entertainment like this.

He's just going to step in front of Asbel so Gareki can get a good look at the titles. None of them sound remotely familiar, but some of them are pretty self explanatory. Or so he thought. They'll just have to take wild guesses about the movie.

Or pick randomly. ]


It's not like we're paying for these and nothing is stopping us from watching every single one. You should take advantage of that.

[ Even though "My Petite Equestrian Experience" sounds like the cheesiest thing to ever exist. Nyanperona has some serious competition.

He'll just go ahead and select that ticket before handing it over to Asbel. ]


Here.
preserves: (pic#5976804)

[personal profile] preserves 2015-03-09 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Wow, so understanding!! Asbel is glad he's not being judged for something like this, even though he could hear the mumble of complaints from the people who were waiting in line still... Oops.

Regardless though, his attention is brought back to Gareki who has now stepped in front of him, eyes peeking curiously as to what he was about to do.
]

You think so? I guess it wouldn't hurt just to try them all out... [ What has he got to lose, after all? If you can't pick one, you might as well just do them all. Right... right!? ]

Hey, thanks! [ Ah... looking at the title now. He squints. ] That's a weird name... It sounds kind of girly.
gareki: tsunkuuyandere (007)

[personal profile] gareki 2015-03-09 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Right. ]

There's no rule saying you have to sit and watch the entire thing.

[ And because his own movie isn't going to start for a while, Gareki will go ahead and watch this girly movie with him. He quickly picks up a second ticket and reads the instructions out loud. The movie is playing in Theater I. They can pick up food and drink at the concession stand nearby. ]

This movie will probably suck though.

[ But the other movies are either already playing (thanks for taking so long Asbel) or won't be showing for another hour or so. He doesn't have anything to do during that time. ]
preserves: (pic#5976796)

[personal profile] preserves 2015-03-10 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ Wow, it wasn't his fault he was confused okay? But inwardly Asbel is all too happy that Gareki is joining him. In fact, he may even let out a little smile. ]

Heh. Probably. But at least we can figure that out for ourselves.

[ And who knows, maybe it'll actually be something worth seeing twice. Though with the initial decision out of the way, it was onto one more important matter- ]

I'm Asbel Lhant, by the way. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[ Extending his hand for a shake. Hello new friend!!! ]

theater I... what am I doing???

[personal profile] windfell 2015-03-09 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[From inside the theater there was a sound of a small commotion and the sound of someone then approaching the door. So instead of entering, he holds the door open for that person. It's only polite.]

After you--

[But then, seeing that person-- That's...]

...Asbel?
preserves: (pic#5976762)

AMAZING THINGS <3

[personal profile] preserves 2015-03-09 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ wow the door magically opened, that's really helpful for him trying to escape.

Yet the moment passes through the door, he hears the familiar chime of a voice ring in the back of his head.
]

Huh? [ Sliding to a stop, Asbel whips his head around to come face to face with his childhood friend. What, what a coincidence! ]

—Richard!? Hold on, you're here, too?
windfell: credit <user name=vividation> (pic#)

[personal profile] windfell 2015-03-09 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Richard let's go of the door, no longer so interested in what's going on inside as long as Asbel's out here.] It would seem so.

[Looks like he wasn't the only one brought here. It's something of a relief. After all - what would he do without Asbel looking out for him?]

You were certainly in a hurry to get out of there.

[Please explain.]
preserves: (pic#5976798)

[personal profile] preserves 2015-03-09 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's so glad to see him, he really is! And Asbel probably would have said more if someone hadn't just been oh so curious as to what the red head was doing. ]

What? Oh, that? No, it was nothing! Really!

[ His voice is slightly panicked at the moment, mainly because he doesn't want Richard to notice whatever was going on in there. Oh please don't ever let him know.

... And because Asbel didn't have the slightest idea how to explain it, he was just going to opt for complete ignorance.
]

Just some boring kids movie. You know, baby stuff.
windfell: credit <user name=vividation> (pic#)

[personal profile] windfell 2015-03-10 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[He gets the feeling that Asbel is probably hiding something from him, but he doesn't get the sense that it's something harmful. But it does make him wonder.]

Then you're free right now?

[He doesn't seem like he's in a rush to go finish seeing that movie.]
preserves: (pic#5976794)

[personal profile] preserves 2015-03-10 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Curiosity at this point will only leave you scarred, Richard. It's best to take Asbel's advice at the moment and drop it!!

Which, much to Asbel's relief, you have.
]

Yeah, I am now. [ After that, he's not going to be walking into any of those other movies. Nope. Nope nope. ]

Did you have something better in mind to do?

What is wrong?

[ With the younger boy looking like he's seen something horrific, Setsuna can't help but raise a concern. Bumping onto him is quickly forgotten after seeing that expression.

This place is eerie, after all. It won't be a surprise if there's odd events here and there... For the meantime, Asbel looks like he needs some water. So he offers an unopened, clean bottle of drinking water in hopes it'll calm him down. ]
preserves: (☆ ⌊ INDIFFERENT ⌉)

[personal profile] preserves 2015-03-09 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh gosh, he's so sorry about that! Asbel would apologize soon after, but that was all put to a halt the moment Setsuna had offered him a bottled water. ]

What? Oh, thank you... [ He accepts it, a little sheepish at first, but his eyes move to the door of the theater. ]

They're showing some pretty weird stuff in there- you probably should just skip out on this one.

[ Believe him. It's for your own good. ]
quaria: my scans. (when i'm searching for the truth)

[personal profile] quaria 2015-03-11 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Setsuna will definitely believe him. But... after hearing such a thing, he can't help but be curious. He's seen the worst by now, so what is another! Besides, investigating might be useful.

He looks really curious right now, please stop him... ]


What do you mean?
preserves: (pic#5976798)

[personal profile] preserves 2015-03-11 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ No no no. He knows that face. Now was not the time to become curious- not with this. ]

Uh... nothing! You know, just forget about it. It's really nothing worth spending your time on.

[ SERIOUSLY LISTEN TO HIM. he just doesn't want to explain ugh ugh. ]

[Pascal just happened to be on her way by this particular theater to find a different movie. She loved these things even if she spent more time trying to get into the movie reel booth than actually watching the movies. After being sent away for the fifth time she was intent to actually sit and watch one for a change.

Except someone comes flying out of the theater and she crashes right into them.]
Whoa! [Jeez where's the fire???] Hey, are you--Asbel!

[Of course she recognizes him immediately and her face brightens.] Oh my gosh, you're finally here! [Do you want a hug, Asbel?

Too bad, you're getting a hug. A really enthusiastic hug, Pascal style.]
preserves: (pic#5976762)

[personal profile] preserves 2015-03-09 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Good thing he wasn't Sophie, or else this probably could have ended in a whacky chase scene. ]

Whoa, Pascal—! [ Unable to fully convey his emotions before being swept up in a hug, Asbel squirms a little awkwardly in the sudden embrace.

But he does... pat her back? He's really happy to see you too, Pascal. Especially after what he has just witnessed
]

Yeah, I am. What about the others, though? Have you seen anyone else?
rubyinferno: (◎ everybody get happy!)

[personal profile] rubyinferno 2015-03-09 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[I think you mean too bad it wasn't Sophie! But that's okay an Asbel is fine too. She's happy to see any familiar face at this point. First Hubert and now his big bro! It's great!

The awkward hug continues for probably longer than is comfortable before she finally lets him go.]
I knew you'd make it eventually. You sure took your time though! I've been here forever! [Okay only like a few months or so but that's 'forever' right?]

Sure did! I ran into Hu a little while ago but then I guess I wandered too far and lost him. But he's totally here somewhere.
preserves: (pic#5976795)

[personal profile] preserves 2015-03-10 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
What are you even talking about? We were just together, weren't we? [ Then again, who knew what Pascal even meant when she said "forever". If anything, it could have been a couple of minutes, so Asbel really doesn't state the statement too much to heart-

However, upon hearing that his brother was here, the boy will let out a visible sigh of relief.
]

That's good, as long as he is safe. [ an older brother's gotta worry, okay!! ] But maybe we should try to regroup and figure out what exactly is going on.
rubyinferno: (◎ aw shucks)

[personal profile] rubyinferno 2015-03-13 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[... Oh. Right. That whole thing with time being weird. She'd almost forgotten about that. So from his perspective it only just happened, huh...]

Well, I guess we were from your point of view but it's been a little while for me. [Four months at that, actually. She's been here a little bit.

She's gonna have to explain this but maybe it would be better to do that with both brothers present so she smiles.]
Right-o! I dunno if anyone else is here besides you and Hu but we can at least find him and all talk and stuff. I should probably tell you guys what's going on around here. It's nuts!

[ Saya's eyeing all these movies and how western they sound... None of them really catch her attention, so she's trying to pick one too. She startles when the person next to her speaks up, and turns, wide-eyed. ]

Ah, um... Me? Not at all. [ Smiling, she asks, ] Are you having difficulty too?

[ Oh gosh, someone who is actually in the same boat with him!

The look on his face can plainly tell that he is a little relieved.
]

Heh. Sure am. We don't exactly have things like this were I come from. [ He returns the smile, a little nervously at first. ]

How do we know these things will even be any good?
alpako: (anthurium)

[personal profile] alpako 2015-03-18 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...Ah. Well, it's not surprising. Everyone comes from different worlds, after all. ]

Um, usually we have synopses to read, or trailers to look at...but it doesn't look like they have any around here.

[ The only way to pick seems to be from the titles!! Which are...weird. But at least they seem genre-specific. ]

Looking at the titles, this one [ pointing to faux my little pony ] is probably a cute movie, and this one [ large adventurer?? ] an action one... What kind of stories do you like?
