 Welcome to CERES Research Tower’s latest event! For all you new folk queuing outside of the conference room where you were just made to sit through a lovely power point presentation, you will be asked to stay a bit longer and test out some games in their Game Testing Center. It’s a giant space located in the basement level filled to the brim with cubicles for everyone to sit in and enjoy their newest array of pop-up games. The games themselves will be in holo(gm) form and will feature suggestions from CEO’s post, including a simplified, 8-bit version of Tetris, Baseball, Soda Smash, etc. Characters can control the game through moving their fingers and tapping them against the holo(gm) screens. Surrounding the cubicles will be tables of food and more food for characters to partake in. It’s all safe this time. No mind-altering candy corn or gut-exploding Knight Burgers. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the party. For those who have been in Cerealia for a while, they should have received an invitation to the event and an offer of 1,000 credits just for participating. So come on down and bring a friend or ten! Meanwhile, CEO has a small welcome for everyone-

Music lightly wafts from the speakers as the showroom opens. Julius Vincere, CERES’ CEO, delivers the opening announcement before leaving the room. He’ll be watching through all the video cameras placed around the room, so be on your best behavior! You will be guided to one of the many cubicles where you will sit and wait for a screen to pop up with a game. Once that game is defeated, another will pop up and another and another until your character gets hungry/has to pee/is so done with this shit.

Welcome to CEREALIA's latest event and intro post. For your convenience, we have compiled a post detailing what's going on right here and feel free to consult the FAQ if needed. Please leave any lingering questions in the OOC post, and we'll answer them as soon as we can. If this post goes into overflow, we will make a new one to deal with the ever-hated captcha! Worry not! |

Offer me, for what?
[ Things get a little bit difficult for everyone, and this wasn't a favour of any sorts. She's not at all baffled by the question, but she wants to drive it home that she's there to help people who are in need. ]
Have people been asking you to do favours for them?
[ And while they only just met, she can't help but get ahead of things. It's just how she is. ]
no subject
The question earns her a headshake, the smile remaining in place on Kaoru's face.]
Not at all. I simply enjoy returning help where help is given, so if I'm able to offer something in return, I'm glad to do it.
[And generally speaking, it tends to work out pretty well! Kaoru trusts the system of "I scratch your back, you scratch mine" better than the one that relies on the notion that people will help out for free when help is necessary.]
no subject
She does think about it for a moment, and wonders what's something that she could respond with that isn't too difficult. Making Kaoru ride a unicycle would be a challenge, or even asking to wear a fake moustache the whole day might be too much. ]
Do you want to become friends? [ To her, they're already friends, but saying it out loud to confirm isn't such a bad idea. ] That way, we'll just get to help each other out no matter what.
no subject
Well, it's not surprising that a person with Athena's cheery and outgoing disposition would be so quick to make them. Kaoru hasn't even been talking to her for a half-hour yet and that already seems like an accurate assessment to make.]
Ah... It wouldn't be troublesome to you? I wouldn't mind being your friend, if it isn't.
[But this is fine in its own way, even if it's a little unexpected. Despite how hesitant Kaoru's words are, the tone used seems to suggest that it's not an unwelcome offer.]
no subject
[ She won't force to be friends with Kaoru or anything, because that would just be wrong, but she would definitely love it if Kaoru welcomed her as one. And it was nice that she wasn't rejected for even suggesting it. Maybe it was going to work out, after all! If Athena wanted to be as successful as she was back home, she'd want to be surrounded by good people. ]
I love being with people. I won't let you down!
no subject
My... Then I'm certain that you won't have too much trouble here. The city's population has been growing steadily ever since my own arrival.
[Plenty of people to chat with and befriend!]
no subject
... That means more worlds are getting consumed. [ And she doesn't look pleased about it. ] It's- It's awful.
[ If she had a handle of things better, she would have sounded more upset, but those were the words she could think of at that moment. ]
no subject
If one were to believe that what they have said is all there is to this.
[Which isn't true in Kaoru's case, but it also isn't something that would be a good conversation topic when they're being monitored by the CEO himself, so the explanation doesn't go any further.]
Many people make the best of what they have here, and it seems a relatively sustainable method.
no subject
I get it. And besides, we should all do our best, no matter what. [ She pauses to let out a sigh. ] But we don't have much choice... I mean, it's the truth.
no subject
At least there are plenty of people that you can turn to. A situation like this would be nearly unbearable alone, I would imagine.
no subject
[ It might have been too privy a question, but even a general idea would give Athena a better image how she would cope with it starting today. ]
no subject
When I first arrived, there were already many citizens here, but they seemed much more well-adjusted. I believe that my group was the first to be pulled directly from the "code" that they mention... There weren't very many of us, either. I would say no more than twenty or thirty? Getting to know each other was much easier, but it was also a little scarier, I think.
no subject
I think it helps that people get brought in here by groups. And the people who would be coming in now, they won't have to worry much about being lost or anything, because there's already people here who know what they're going through.
[ At this point, she's mostly just musing to herself as she tries to plan out what to do next. What was next, after she steps out of the research center?
Athena looks at Kaoru curiously. ]
Did you just start going to work or to school after that? That's kind of what they want us to do here... aside from the games thing.
no subject
Yes, I began to attend one of the jobs that was listed for me. I'm a little too old to attend the school... [This said somewhat sheepishly.]
It was a difficult adjustment to make on top of everything else, but being able to settle into something like a schedule made things a little easier to handle. The predictability was nice.
no subject
I guess we have to feel somehow thankful to the CEO for the schedule and the money.
[ And while Athena didn't really want to ask for too much since she didn't want to come off as annoying, she couldn't help but ask another question. ]
Oh, and, I know you didn't get this kind of treatment, I guess; but are there any things that newcomers like me should know?
no subject
As for the question, Kaoru just raises a hand and waves it in polite dismissal.]
It's fine; if I can make the transition easier for anyone else, I'd be happy to. As for that... Mm, to be honest, their presentation covers a lot of the basics. You should take care with your electronics though, since they have trouble with viruses at times. It seems there may be a group opposing them as well who try to undermine their efforts. Things can become a little dangerous in those situations...
no subject
[ She pulls out her own Cerevice and flips it around in her palm. ]
And if there's rebels here, too, that's even worse. Things don't sound as easy now. [ She sure hasn't given up yet, but she looks like she's about to slump over with her expression. ]
no subject
I've heard others who are familiar with technology voice similar sentiments. ["WE'RE IN SPACE WHY ARE THERE STILL SPAM EMAILS", basically...]
But even with these challenges, we have yet to be bested.
no subject
That's really good! It sounded like something a hero would say.
