//GAME ⇢ START.EXE

Welcome to your life!


So you've been introduced to the wonderful world of Tellus, and now, you're wondering where to go. Never fear, for the wonderful CEO and his team of supportive companions have ensured that you won't be completely lost!

Heading towards the residential district, you find yourself facing some lovely hovering signs directing you to the large, beautiful dome garden in the center of the district. It's a rather large and intriguing location, and it's so huge that you may need to get a bike or transport to get where the arrows are pointing you to. Still confused? No trouble! The cute androids are willing to walk you there, or point you to the garden carts to transport you around.

Once you get to the flower garden in the eastern garden sector, you'll find a large and flowery ground with pretty streams against the backdrop of the high rises of the city where a Job Fair will currently be held. This is where you'll be getting a look at the very many jobs available within the Colony, and these are just a few to start off with!

Of course, that's not all to do here. Feel free to make your way around and see if you can find someone you know, or stop by the food stalls where a variety of meals to tempt you are around. Take some to your new residential spaces, and be sure to try the special delicacy of the planet, "Knight Burgers" are being served. The "Garden Burgers" are the vegetarian option, so don't miss out!

Meanwhile, your resident CEO is clad in an apron, happily grilling away and handing out succulent burgers to his new arrivals.
"So we meet again, hm? Oh? You don't remember me? Well, don't worry. We'll get to know one another very well soon enough. In the meantime, try a burger."
He holds out a single burger on a spatula with a smile, waiting for it to be accepted.

//SCENARIOS.EXE
PHASE I
[ 12:01 ] The hologram trees flicker to life as they shed petals around the area. It's a brand new semester. Will CEO-senpai notice you? There are several booths set up around the garden where characters can meet their new employers and start asking questions. They can also get glimpses of their new work place and pick up their uniforms/training manuals. If your character is still undecided about their unemployment, they can take the opportunity to see what other kind of options are available. There will also be a booth for the CYbuddies and HOLOgm if they want to sample the new technology for themselves.
PHASE II
[ ??:?? ] One of the booths has several helmets characters can wear to upload themselves into ViViD, a state of the art virtual reality game, and enter one of the game stages to participate in a solo or team mission. They can sample a few minutes of gameplay as they enter a short battle with one of the NPC creatures. They'll quickly become familiar with the state-of-the-art technology as all pain and wounds experienced inside will feel real and will appear on each character's body. But what an awesome game it is! With amazing digital quality surround, it's a world like none other... but be careful not to fall too fast! (Those monsters even smell real, don't they?) Feel free to talk to Vidia, the game host, if you need help getting things going!
PHASE III
[ 14:30 ] The afternoon drones on as normal. Everything seems a little too mundane. Too uneventful. Some professional masseuses are on hand to lure you away and relax some of those frown lines and brow wrinkles. In the midst of it all, you find yourself starting to notice that the hologram trees are shifting ever so slightly. Within them, there's a glimpse of something from back home. A loved one, perhaps? A familiar face? You feel compelled to follow them further away from the party and into one of the quieter areas. The image then shifts into a warped version of yourself before vanishing entirely. Other holograms will start flickering around you at the same time, showing buildings from home -your house? your old school? your work place? -Until there's a shadow overwhelming it, spreading outward slowly.

Then something else appears within the darkness for a moment, lost in a single blink. That one second passes so swiftly it's barely noticeable.
PHASE IV
[ 15:22 ] The garden party & barbecue is winding down. Your resident CEO has run out of burgers to give, but he's happy to pass around drinks instead. The other stalls are still open though! Come collect a few frozen margaritas or ice cream to kick back and enjoy while under the sun. There's even a raffle for those who deigned to spend some money on a ticket. The prize is a luxury getaway weekend at one of Cerealia's finest apartment buildings. You'll get the penthouse suite for two whole nights and all the amenities you can think of at your disposal. Don't wait! Hurry up and sign up for it now.

[ For those who choose to participate, winners will be chosen at random by RNG. ]
BONUS
[ why:o'clock ] There's a bidet hidden in one of the garden bathrooms. Has your character ever enjoyed the grand luxury of a bidet? It's time for them to get acquainted with the sweet, sweet feeling of being clean.
[ The garden party & job fair will be long, so take your time enjoying both and dreading what's to come after. Remember to apply proper warnings on threads with trigger-y or inappropriate material and do let a mod know if your thread careens off into maiming or canoodling so we can lock the log. ]

//RUN.EXE
Welcome to CEREALIA's Official Intro Log. Please forgive our appearance as we are still going through the final stages game completion… mostly fighting with table codes. While most pages are under development and/or hidden from the public eye, please don't feel discouraged, since knowing everything doesn't always make the experience. Your characters will know as little as you. For your convenience, we have compiled a post detailing everyone's arrival experience. Please read that and this ooc post thoroughly before playing. Thank you!

[ Nicely done, that. Butch doesn't know a single thing about technology, but he at least knows that dropping things into a croc's mouth was a pretty stupid thing to do. Even if the crocodile happened to be of a very small size. ]

It really ain't about the size'a it, kiddo.

[ The dude with a baby face should not call anyone a kid but he is older than he looks. ]
nostatus: (he'll eclipse you but he won't miss you)

[personal profile] nostatus 2014-08-27 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Sounds like they're about in the same boat here then - this sure isn't like any technology Shinpachi has ever seen, but he's sure seen crocodiles before.. and dealt with them, on top of it. So this small one doesn't seem like too much of a problem, fortunately - it's just a pain in the ass. ]

Oi, who're you callin' a kid here? [ He even stops mid-rant to the crocodile, that's how distracted he is by that part.. ] I've long passed the age where anyone could call me that, y'know. [ Just not.. mentally... all the time, at least.. ]
lovemguns: (v( ̄∇ ̄)ニヤッ)

[personal profile] lovemguns 2014-08-31 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's seen more gators than crocks, but the details are not all that important at the moment. ]

Y'look like one t'me.
nostatus: (the second shot won't be a warning)

[personal profile] nostatus 2014-09-01 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Shinpachi actually looks a little surprised at that one - or maybe it's just confused. Because it's not like he's short compared to the average from the time and place he comes from, not to mention he's buff as hell.. people might have called him a whole lot of names over time, but anything like kid sure isn't among them for a while now. ]

Maybe you should start investing in some glasses. [ Since there must obviously be something wrong with this person's eyesight. Obviously. ] Or are ya just sayin' you're so brave that you're practically a jackass? No one'd think of calling one of the captains of the Shinsengumi a kid.

[ Not people who actually wanted to have good days with their heads attached to their bodies, considering just how scared people were of them in Kyoto despite them not being that terrible.. usually... ]
lovemguns: (☼)

[personal profile] lovemguns 2014-09-03 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Appearance doesn't really say much. Maybe it's more the youthful attitude this "captain" person seems to sport, rather than that. ]

I don't think I'm in need'a any pair just yet. My eyes ain't all bad, even'f I'm gainin' years. [ He grins. ] I ain't got a single clue about that thing ya're captain of, but I'm probably more an idiot than brave, I'm thinkin'.
nostatus: (i'd hate to be the one)

[personal profile] nostatus 2014-09-06 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, at least ya got one thing right then.

[ Totally an idiot for calling him a kid, that's what! Although after eyeing that damn crocodile again for a moment, his gaze slowly slides back to this guy instead.. ]

.. Never heard of the Shinsengumi? [ Not that it's weird to him - he certainly doesn't seem surprised, anyway - since there's so many different worlds out there, but a rare few had known about them.. ]
lovemguns: ((・ε・))

[personal profile] lovemguns 2014-09-08 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
You'd not be the only one t'say that.

[ His best friend likes to call him an idiot at times, but that doesn't bother him. ]

No, never. It doesn't sound like it's American. It's gotta be knowledge that comes to the states after my time. [ It's not like he knows Japanese people from times before Shinsengumi, despite actually coming from after the time of Shinsengumi. ]
nostatus: (someone has to win)

[personal profile] nostatus 2014-09-10 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hey, idiot can be an honorary title too sometime! Else Shinpachi wouldn't be part of a trio self-proclaimed the idiot trio.. but then again, he means it differently when he says it to someone who isn't one of his friends. Usually, anyway. ]

'course it's not American.. [ Said a little grumpily, but mostly since Japan is so closed off from westerners in the time he comes from that it's almost laughable to think it's from.. well, any place outside of Japan. ]

What time do you come from then, huh?

[ At least it's not really weirded out by the idea of this guy being from some other time than he is - jamjars taught him that much before. Especially since everyone seems to be from much later times constantly.. it's almost enough to make a man feel old, gosh. ]
lovemguns: (〃∇〃))

[personal profile] lovemguns 2014-10-05 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Right? Nothing wrong with being an idiot (and Butch is a genius as well so it matters even less) or dumb or anything really. Take anything the way yo want to take them. ]

Yeah, 'course. But then a lot'a non-American stuff're American now. [ like the people who crossed oceans and all that. His parents were British once, but he's totally American. ]

What 'bout yerself, then? Me, I was from 1908 when I stumbled from Bolivia to that other world I was in before here. I dunno 'bout years'n that one yet, though. Haven't been informed of it from Haruakira or 'nyone yet. [ Just. Casually talking about famous onmyouji. But he's not famous to him. And his canon is a damn jamjar so nothing weird about talking about coming from different eras at all. ]
nostatus: (i got your back across the desert)

[personal profile] nostatus 2014-10-05 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ 1908.. god, converting from western to eastern years is such a pain in the ass. Zelien helped with it a little bit, but it's still a matter of a lot of memorization, and he squints as he tries to remember. ]

I think people said before the time I come from is.. uh.. 1860-something.. [ Close enough, he decides, and he ends it with a small shrug as if to say "that's what you'll have to work with" without words. ] That's gotta still be from before your time then. Even if I have to admit I have no idea where Bolivia's s'posed to be.
lovemguns: ((⌒▽⌒)ノ_彡☆)

[personal profile] lovemguns 2014-10-07 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ At least Butch wouldn't even know how to calculate the difference if mr. stranger told him what Japanese year he was from. But oh, that's interesting! ]

Then you're from around the period I was born, that's cool. [ He's curious about it. Besides, pops and those other samurai were from even earlier than that, right? just forty-ish years a difference wasn't that much of a big deal. ] But yeah, it ain't close t' Japan at least, far as I know'a.
nostatus: (i'd hate to be the one)

[personal profile] nostatus 2014-10-09 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Seems like they're about on the same page then as to where Bolivia is as opposed to Japan.. "not anywhere near" sounds just about like what Shinpachi would guess too.

Although the other statement makes him raise an eyebrow - not sceptically, really, but more just curiously. ]


Oh, you're from that early on too? I'm used to people here bein' from way beyond that time. [ Even if this is some weird person who called him a kid!! ]
lovemguns: (〃∇〃))

[personal profile] lovemguns 2014-10-10 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Simple is pretty good, so putting it in simple terms are pretty good. ]

Yeah, I am. Though some years has passed since then, 'f course. [ He wasn't born that recently, after all. ] I've met people from hundreds'a years ago before, so I guess it's th' same for the both'a us them.
nostatus: (another cliché baby)

[personal profile] nostatus 2014-10-11 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Gah.. [ A sigh, but then he quickly shakes his head. ]

Why do these places always gotta be so complicated with times and places, huh? Couldn't they just take everyone from one time and spot? Sure would make everything a lot easier to understand and deal with.

[ But then again, who'd want a city full of samurai pissed off over being kidnapped.. no one, that's who. ]
lovemguns: ((*´ー`) フッ)

[personal profile] lovemguns 2014-10-12 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ Considering the samurai he's met seem to be pretty violent (but gutsy and interesting) that could pose a problem. ]

Diversity creates a variety of opinions, ideas, and opportunities. Plus, we can all learn new things from each other, since we've a lotta different experiences. I'm guessin' that might be havin' somethin' to do with it.
nostatus: (someone has to win)

[personal profile] nostatus 2014-10-12 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
You think they want us to learn stuff from each other?

[ Not that he has a problem with learning. Shinpachi likes to keep himself informed about things! He checked out new modern things back in Zelien! But even so.. ]

That kinda sounds like a dumb thing to kidnap people over.
lovemguns: (^ ^)

[personal profile] lovemguns 2014-10-12 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He shrugs. ] Why not? Experience's always good y'know.

[ Though that's one side of it. ]

Not if y'want 'em to work for you.
nostatus: (someone has to win)

[personal profile] nostatus 2014-10-13 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that's more likely to be their motivation than anything else. [ Back in Zelien it had been COMPASS wanting to experiment on them.. he's not really thinking that CERES is going to be any different in that regard, even if they're still trying to be all nice to them now. ]

Either that, or they got something worse in store.

[ Don't even ask about the shit he's seen, man, he's fairly sure he understands just how bad this could possibly get. ]
lovemguns: (finally..)

[personal profile] lovemguns 2014-10-14 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps. We won't know for sure right away. [ And they are hiding a hell of a lot of stuff at the moment. Question was how much they knew about the people they "saved" in turn. ]
nostatus: (then you were known as)

[personal profile] nostatus 2014-10-16 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
We hardly know anything.

[ Followed up by a sigh. In a sense he almost likes COMPASS more than CERES. At least they said what they were up to right off the bat, even if they were a bunch of cruel bastards who killed some of his best friends and then tried to make him kill another one of them as well.

Here though? Everything seems so nice and friendly and open - but thanks to Zelien, Shinpachi isn't inclined to believe even a single bit of the hospitality. ]


'sides, we're way outnumbered too. No matter what's gonna happen, we'll be completely at their mercy. [ Not a prospect he looks forward to, considering he doesn't trust them. Not that he doesn't believe he can't fight big groups, but going up against this entire city.. that seems like a little too much even for him. ]
lovemguns: (~♪)

[personal profile] lovemguns 2014-10-19 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup, we ain't got a single clue about nothin' at all 'bout this place. [ Not if they should worry - though they probably should - or if they should take it all easy. But he hadn't known anything about the Drif World either, though at least he had had Kid with him. He didn't have him with him this time, and that was the most troublesome thing about this whole thing, according to him. ] Now, numbers ain't always the key t' things, it's about things like good plans'n things like that.
nostatus: (can ruin my whole day)

[personal profile] nostatus 2014-10-22 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Believe me, I've fought under a lot of shitty circumstances before. I know what it's like. [ Especially since they did manage to win most of those times.. or at least escape alive, that's counting for something. We just don't talk about Aburano Kouji. ]

But it still means we gotta gather more information first on who we're up against here. These surroundings are so weird to me that trying to go for something now without knowing anything would just be suicide.
