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.

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!

[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]

[ 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. ]

[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.]

[ Her fingers flex, half-apprehensively, gloves creaking with it. ]

Were you alright?
deontology: (VIII.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-21 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[That was not the question he was expecting her to ask, admittedly. He blinks at her, but only for a brief moment, and then he nods simply.]

I came back to myself in time, if that is what you are asking.

Pride aside, I was otherwise fine. However, it does not bode well that they are able to influence our thoughts and actions.

[ Pyrrha’s tendency towards sentimentality, almost soppish, tends to defy quite a few expectations. She’s quite cuddly for a reputed champion of combat and alleged destroyer of dreams.

The prospect, owing partly to the way he words it, leaves a chill at the base of her spine. ]


It doesn’t make sense. CERES mobilized us. [ A practical word, almost militant. Pyrrha considers correcting herself, defaulting to the technology of this place, before deciding against it. It hardly matters how she refers to it. They were gathered all the same. ] I thought they were building an army but you make it sound more like we’re test subjects.
deontology: (XVII.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-21 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Each time there has been a strange occurrence like this, there has been an official apology from CERES to follow. Whether or not you believe our captors are malicious or simply painfully incompetent is up to you.

[Sousei isn't sure what he believes for himself, quite frankly. Either way, he knows they're not to be trusted, though.]

Either way, that is not a source of command I trust.
reuser: (46)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-23 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Either way, he says. None of the options presented to her are especially reassuring. Sousei doesn’t trust their overlords and Pyrrha finds herself agreeing with him. ]

I feel the same way. [ They may yet have a hand they’re not showing, this CERES corporation, but all these lies and half-truths give her a strange, muted sense of hope. If Remnant being destroyed is also a lie... She sighs out, an indicative gesture that’s decidedly rare, before looking back around -




Oh.

Oh.

Sheepishly, she rubs at the back of her neck, before her hands fall abeyant once more. ]


Do you know where we are? [ Because she does not. ]
deontology: (XIX.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-23 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[For a moment, that's the only response he gives, as he continues to carry onwards simply. A few more paces carries them to a crossroads, which was presumably Sousei's destination the entire time.

Because now he can point out--]


If you follow this path, it will take you to the Residential District. There, you should be able to arrange some form of living situation.
reuser: (40)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-24 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ You’re one cool customer, Captain. In the few moments of silence, Pyrrha continues to follow dutifully behind. Waddle waddle. ]

Is there an office I should stop by? [ You know, a rental office with some sort of realtor or landlord... There has to be forms to fill out, at the very least.

Life without forms is a weirdly unfathomable concept. ]
deontology: (LXXIX.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-25 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Forms......... ah yes, life without forms. It's a very peculiar thing, but--

he hesitates.

ah...]


It is all connected to your device. [you can access it over the ~internet~, Sousei is still a little boggled over this concept.]

Most things in this place can be accessed from there.

[ Pyrrha tugs her CereVice out of its holding spot - the pouch that would have, in different circumstances, held her scroll - and, holding it resolutely, favours Sousei with an appreciative smile. ]

I think I can handle that.

[ And then, without missing a beat, ]

Sorry, but I ought to go find [ my occasionally helpless partner ] a friend of mine and show him the way. Thank you for the directions.

[ Unless he has much else further to add, she'll be off. Hopefully, though, it won't be their last encounter. Social link, get. ]
