 ViViD has opened up a new world that new arrivals will be pulled into while frequent players will be invited to check out. This particular setting is the new beta world that CERES is constructing in time for the Hallow's Eve celebrations and festivals. It's a world inhabited by the undead and several ghouls and monsters of typical horror lore. Inside, one will encounter werewolves, lichens, vampires, succubi, incubi, specters, mummies, and so on. They will be on the prowl and eager to attack, but players need only concern themselves with getting through and getting out. At first, players will awaken outside of a large manor supposedly owned by a wealthy noble who is rumored to be practicing strange alchemic experiments within. Many know him simply as The Count. New arrivals and those logging into ViViD will first find themselves being greeted by their guide at the start screen:

Yes, those are all the directions you get. Welcome, indeed, to Atrocia Manor. On the outside, you'll notice a faint howling in the distance. You better start running. That howling is only going to get louder as the

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
Thank you. I have a little more experience with this place than I would like, to be honest... But at the very least, it comes in handy for moments like this. [AND ONWARD, TO THE HEDGES!! Kaoru will keep a careful eye out and move quietly and close to the perimeter, listening for any stray wakawakas.]
...Do you hear anything, Kumou-san?
no subject
But. You know what would be really creepy?
If the distant wakawakas just Suddenly Stop. As Soramaru strains to pick up on where the creature may have gone, a rustling noise comes from right behind them.
Soramaru freezes for only a second before he turns, slowly and carefully, eyes wide as he comes face to face with the pixel ghost.
Clever girl.]
—Nagumo-san, run!
no subject
Kumou-san—!
[Kaoru's worry is totally legit! He's closer to the pixel ghost, after all... The one in the immediate path of wakawakaing is Soramaru and Kaoru recognizes that, which is why THE TABLES ARE NOW TURNED. Just as it moves in to pacman them both to death, Kaoru reaches out to grab a hold of his wrist (with a delicate and lady-like grip, of course!!), promptly shoving him through the hedge and out of its direct path. BE FREE, SORAMARU.]
no subject
And branches poking at him! There are probably spiders in his air too. Holy balls, he's a bit stuck, actually. Being shoved through a hedge kind of sucks??
BUT WAIT, he can't just leave Kaoru behind!!!]
Wait, Nagumo-san, what about you!?
[DON'T DIE.]
no subject
BUT KAORU is already sort of jogging away in the opposite direction, making a vague hand gesture. The pixel ghost seems more interested in a moving target than in trying to fish one out from the hedges, at least, so the plan is a success!!]
Please don't worry about me, Kumou-san! I know where the exits are. If you just keep going straight ahead, you'll hit the exit portal there - I'll meet you on the outside!
[Unless the wakawaka curtain falls early and Kaoru is megamurdered, anyway...!!]
no subject
The internal struggle is real (so is the struggle to free himself from the hedge) as he watches Kaoru take off with the ghost in hot pursuit. He can't just leave a poor defenseless lady to fend off a monster like that!!!
But by the time he manages to get out of that pesky hedge, Kaoru and ghost are gone. He's basically got no choice now and he really hopes Kaoru made it out... because if not, that would be so terrible and he'd feel guilty for the Rest of His Life.
Right. Soramaru follows directions and quickly makes his way toward the exit portal. And then he... touches it?? Stands on it?? Either way, he's outie and suddenly finds himself in a place that's even less familiar than the courtyard and mansion.]
no subject
No okay after about half a minute more, the portal will do its weird portal magic and out pops this nerd near Soramaru! WHO KNOWS HOW THESE PORTALS WORK not me... But Kaoru is looking no worse for wear than when they parted ways like dramatic shonen heroes, albeit a little breathless and ruffled. (The ghost, on the other hand, is dead. So dead. No one must know.)
Looking around immediately on arrival though, and - YEP, there he is.]
Ah— Kumou-san! I'm glad that you made it without any hassle. You're all right? I've heard that some people can feel a little nauseous when they leave Vivid for the first time. [...] You don't have any scratches either, do you? I apologize for pushing you so suddenly...
[THAT WASN'T VERY NICE.]
no subject
Soramaru breathes the biggest sigh of relief when Kaoru appears and it feels like all the weight's been lifted off his shoulders because they made it! Who would've thought a pixelated ghost would cause so many problems, certainly not anyone in this action bracket.
Anyway!! He's barely listening to what Kaoru's saying since he has a seriously!! important!! thing!! to say.]
Nagumo-san! Thank you very much for saving me back there!
[His grateful expression and tone come with a special bonus of a low bow. Risking your neck like that... how amazing!! He definitely won't forget it any time soon.]
no subject
Kaoru will look a little surprised initially, but that quickly fades out into something that seems both sheepish and grateful in return. One hand raises in a polite gesture of dismissal, and the other comes up, covering a smile demurely.]
Oh— You don't need to thank me for something like that, sir. I hardly did anything... I'm just glad that you were able to leave without being harmed.
no subject
Soramaru straightens back up, still looking 100% grateful.]
Even so, that was incredibly brave of you. How did you manage to get away?
[He was so worried!!! What sort of first meeting would it have been if Kaoru had fallen to a pixel ghost... only the darkest timeline will know.]
no subject
I knew where a different exit was, and I was able to outrun it. Luckily, that creature didn't seem capable of making sharp turns.
[Which probably doesn't sound too impressive, honestly, considering the ghost moved at like one pixel a second?! WHATEVER MAN this is the height of Kaoru's athletic heroics, apparently.]
But you're certain you're all right? Not shaken up too badly, I hope?
