 ViViD's usual worlds are unfortunately down for maintenance. While CERES' programmers work on getting it back up and running, all new entrees this round will be going through a different level than usual. Only a single world is accessible at the moment, a simple one entitled 'CERESLearn.' "What the $%@& is this?" you must be thinking. Well, it's simple! It's a study program, of course! CERES' advanced AI technology is here to make sure you learn and that you learn sexily. Whether or not you pay attention to the actual content is up to you, the player. Please enjoy it while it lasts. They're here to teach you a variety of subjects and also to make you feel vaguely uncomfortable all over. New arrivals and those logging into ViViD will first find themselves in a classroom with a new operator greeting them rather than Vidia.

Once you choose your lesson and your tutor, you will be transported to a classroom where you and a few other players who decide to choose the same lesson will sit with your tutor after school, getting knowledge taught to you by someone who seems more intent on learning what's under your clothes than filling your head with knowledge. They will be awkwardly stretching, dropping pencils by 'accident' on the floor, and bending down slowly to pick them up. Certain things might be spilling out of their clothes. Awkward things. They will breathe down your neck and make sure you are well-versed in their anatomy by the end of the lesson.

Welcome to CEREALIA's latest intro post. For your convenience, we have compiled a post detailing everyone's usual arrival experience (which is not entirely applicable this round for reasons stated above^) and a FAQ that should explain everything in more detail. Please read them thoroughly before playing. Thank you! |
no subject
Uncomfortable, at best, though not very unusual for this place.
[He makes a face, broadcasting how distasteful he found the whole thing. Skimpy clothes are one thin, but shoving it in people's faces is another. Surely Mr. Stuffy Lunettes can understand that.]
The true faces they were hiding were much worse, in my opinion.
no subject
Well- I meant describe as in... [he taps the pen, thinking] how they were made, how they were put on - why they started to fail very suddenly.
[shudder... so many gross things]
no subject
[Now that he has a clearer idea of the question, he taps a finger on his chin as he tries to figure out an answer.]
Everything in ViViD is illusion, isn't it? So, it would stand to reason the disguises are made in the same way everything else there is, wouldn't you say? If they were only that, then putting them on and their failure is much more simple to explain.
[That's basically how he's come to understand the holograms and VR technology around here, so it's his best guess.]
no subject
That may be... but then why would only that single piece of the whole environment change? If, as you say, everything in there is false - well, none of the furniture turned into something else.
no subject
Well, if they were different illusions made by different people, it wouldn't be very hard to make them act apart!
[He waves his hands, trying to gesture the idea of a divide.]
Especially if they were not intended to be there at all, and they simply invited themselves into the game.
no subject
In that case, what became of the tutors we were meant to have? [He shakes his head like I know they're not actually real, but!!] Surely whoever controls that illusory world would have noticed sooner.
no subject
Truthfully...
[He waves Reim closer, lifting a hand to contain his voice between them, even though he's whispering now.]
Those that run this colony seem to be ill-equipped, at best. Would you believe we've had such incidents before, more than once, in my few months here?
no subject
Be— [oh yes keeping the voices down] Before? Just how often does this happen?
no subject
There was the time we couldn't leave ViViD, when I first arrived, and the time the new arrivals were branded criminals when they'd done nothing wrong and were attacked by those robots... Oh, and recently, a group of "terrorists" forced us all the try and kill one another for lights that would protect us from monstrous spiders.
[He counts these off on his fingers as he goes.]
At least once a month, something odd happens along those lines.
no subject
In any case, he listens with mild disbelief that these things keep escalating in absurdity... He doesn't doubt what Cynbel is saying, but to think that this is all happening at all-? The spiders in particular just sound—unnecessary.]
And no one has explained why any of this is happening? Not even to say they're aware of it?
no subject
They claim it to be "mistakes" and otherwise take no responsibility for it until after the fact, and they generally allow us to flounder on our own until then.
[He shakes his head, sighing. It gets a little draining, but Cynbel's used to having to look out for himself.]
Usually, they blame it on a group called "Gorgon", if I recall correctly.
no subject
But hey, thanks for another name to jot down.]
Let me guess- this "Gorgon" group has never actually introduced themselves. They're either quite good at undermining their foes, or they don't actually exist.
no subject
The only contact we've had directly with them, ourselves, is through the machines.
[He reaches into the bag over his shoulder, pulling out his CereVice.]
no subject
The machine - like everything else - does interest him. Supposedly it's supposed to mimic a telephone, but it has so many lights and looks for all the world like a very expensive, rather flat brick— He didn't drop it yet, at least. But to avoid that now, rather than take out his own he will stick to letting Cynbel wave his around.]
Really! [That's more than he expected! Although- the machines could have more of those illusions, couldn't they- mm. He'd like a crash course in this.] Is it— still there?
[how do you TALK about DATABASES what IS a database]
no subject
It is! But it's rather hard to see any meaning in it.
[He taps along for a few moments, pulling up the message and turning the device towards Reim.]
Take a look for yourself.
no subject
This is complete nonsense.
no subject
I did say it was hard to take any meaning from it, didn't I?
[He shrugs and powers down the device, moving to put it away.]
But that is the only communication from any such group with that name we have, unless they've been avoiding taking credit for the other problems here.
no subject
Perhaps they'll learn to write properly, and contact us again...
no subject
Perhaps they will! After all, these incidents happen every few weeks, and if it is them doing it all, they're sure to say something eventually. It would be easier to catch them, or discover what it is they want that way.
no subject
So we have nothing else to do but wait. I can't say I'm not disappointed, but, well- that will have to do.
