//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 [ 1430 ]
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 [ 1522 ]
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 [ whyo'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!

So you've fought and defeated a crocodile before? That must have been quite the feat. Although, sadly, I don't think this fellow understands quite what you're trying to tell him.
no subject
So Shinpachi immediately turns to her and grins widely, his mood seemingly making a 180 out of nowhere. ]
Yeah, yeah, that's right..! I fought one, and not even just with my swords! I just punched that thing straight in the head! [ He looks so proud of himself.. ] I'm a pretty amazing kinda guy, aren't I?
no subject
Well I can hardly refute a statement when you put it like that. Dare I even ask how large this crocodile was when you attacked him?
no subject
That's only a small feat though for a guy like me.. but even so, I bet all those things out there are still shivering in fear of me!
[ .. ah.
Wait, that reminds him of his current predicament, and his gaze immediately slides back to the crocodile to glare at it... y o u...... don't you know how to be respectful to the people who slaughter your kind?! ]
no subject
I... see. I suppose we should call you the great Crocodile Hunter of your time, then, for lack of a better name. Are you planning to wrestle that little one, by the way? He seems rather harmless enough.
[ even if he did just eat your cerevice ]
no subject
[ He has to keep up a reputation indeed, glad you recognize this, Peggy! Except he can't soil it by wrestling things that are too small, he's way too far out of this crocodile's league.. ]
I just want it to hand back that thing we were all given before one of the guys notices and makes fun of me for it. [ Hey, it's not hard to admit it when his friends are openly shitlord to him.. and he does the same to them in return.. ]
no subject
[ she paused coughing delicately just once ]
Of course, you could wait a little while and see if it manages to resurface on it's own.
[ you know, in the cybuddies poop? Although she does understand men making fun of other men. It's camaraderie at it's finest, in a way. She wishes you luck, Mr. Nagakura. ]
no subject
[ Because even with as gross as Shinpachi may be at times, that thing pooping out his device isn't exactly the first thing that comes to mind for him.. ]
It's looking so smug at me that I can't help but think it's just gonna keep it in there forever just to bother me! [ Congratulations, Peggy, you managed to find the one guy in this place who would take the actions of a semi-cutesy robot pet personally. ]
no subject
No, I'm afraid I was rather thinking of the opposite. Most of the time what comes in to a beast like that does inevitably end up coming out the other end. Of course, whether you'd like to keep it is up to you.
[ and that's why she's finding Shinpachi utterly delightful in his serious yet not so serious approach to this issue. It was certainly keeping her mind off of... other things. ]
no subject
But he sure slowly is realising it here, and his expression goes from that to pure horror. ]
I'm not gonna put my hands in that thing's shi-- [ .. wait.. there's a woman here..!! Awkwardly biting back that word.. ] P-- poop!
[ Only mildly better. ]
no subject
And yet you'd rather reach down its gullet and pull it out? I would think it'd be much easier to simply scoop it up and wash away the excrement.
[ and please, Shinpachi. She's been living amongst soldiers for the last few years. She can handle a few expletives now and then. She may even spout one off now and then herself. ]
no subject
Isn't that the way men do that sorta stuff?! [ Not that he can call digging through piles of shit "manly", after all... ] I can just go straight for it, it's not like that thing's teeth are gonna scare me! I bet it doesn't even dare to bite off my hand! [ Things you should not do: challenge crocodiles while right in front of them.. probably.. ]
no subject
[ she keeps her tone mild and clinical as she stares at the little cybuddy yawning away it's troubles before seemingly settling down for an afternoon nap. ]
Of course, you may be forced to purchase him if you were to go through with that. Tell me, just how much exactly do you think one of these creatures are worth?
no subject
Should something that's rude enough to eat other people's stuff really be worth anything at all?! [ Okay, so he eats other people's food too, but that's food.. it's different..!! ] They have huge ones of these right out in nature, why should you have to buy one now instead?!
no subject
But is it fair to kill an innocent creature when you're the one who dropped the CEREVICE in the first place?
[ she raised an eyebrow ]
It's a shame to say it, but this isn't home. The rules are bound to be a bit different now.
[ she paused ]
You could just ask that nice lady behind the counter for help. Perhaps she has an alternative.
[ like exlax ]
no subject
[ Time to get down to Serious Business. Seriously. He's even stopping freaking out over the crocodile for a moment to instead put his hands on his sides, letting out a long(-suffering) breath as he shakes his head. ]
These things? They're not "innocent creatures" at all. Have you ever seen what the bigger versions of this can do? This one's just waiting to grow up into one of those, and what if it's gonna eat someone then, huh? [ Shinpachi Nagakura: singlehandedly going to make crocodiles go extinct..
Even if the CYBuddy will technically never grow up, but it's not like he realises that. ]
no subject
I do believe I have seen one full grown before. From my understanding, they're really only a danger to small children and pets? Of course, that's also why one should keep them in their natural habitat rather then in an urban area such as this.
[ see? she's full aware of the dangers. Does she get a gold star now? But she paused, tapping a finger against her arm as she folded them thoughtfully. ]
I wonder what they were thinking, actually, unless... Well, perhaps you should take him under your wing to make sure he's not a nuisance. If anyone can teach him some manners, surely it must be you.
[ She has high standards for you, Shinpachi. Don't prove her wrong! ]
no subject
Huh-- me? [ The seriousness from a moment ago is totally gone the moment her words get through to him. Instead his eyes widen as he blinks in surprise, staring between Peggy and the crocodile in wonder.
Then he quickly shakes his head though. ]
No way, why does it gotta be me?! I don't want to put up with that thing anymore than I already have to now..!
