You know what everyone needs after rampant robotic attacks and another iteration of clone wars? A vacation! That’s right everyone, you deserve this. CERES understands what you need. CERES is here for you all the time, so never doubt that this is a pleasure colony, and they are here to look after all of your needs. Kick your feet up, relax, and let CERES Recreation and Activity Necessity Keepers (Team RANK, that is) set you up with your ideal getaway.

It’s as if you can sense the incoming relaxation and luxury before you even completely finish loading. There’s the warmth encompassing your entire body as your code gets transferred into this particular ViViD Level. A cool, refreshing breeze hits you. The sounds of waves gently lapping against the coast fill you with relaxation. The sun, the sand, the surfs, it’s all there – welcome to the beach, baby!

An echoing greeting message from the ocean comes next, if you can translate it.


OOOOOOOOOOOOHMAHH GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHD.

YOOOOOOOOOOOORRRALL SOOOOOOOOOOOOO KYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.

KYOOOOOOOOOOOT EEEENAAAAUUUUUUUF TOOOOOOOOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEEEEEEET.

//SCENARIOS.EXE


PHASE I

[ 08:00 ] That said, isn’t that breeze a little… too strong? It feels like it’s brushing up against all of you, if you know what I mean. When you open your eyes and look down, it becomes rather clear why. It seems that you’ve found yourself in some pretty interesting attire. Everyone. No exceptions. You appear to have two options – be overcome and scream like the Victorian maiden your heart says you are, or strut like a model in this stuff. Turn some heads! Work that up do!

But don’t worry, we’re also conscious about safety here at CERES! Therefore everyone’s also been provided a pair of super high-tech safety-tested appendage protection floatation devices (STAPFD for short.)

At least everyone around you is caught in the same sort of attire – and everyone around you also appears to be stuck inside a giant sand castle. It’s entirely malleable to what you want it to be! Want to see a fancy sand bidet? Feel like adding a sand statue in your honor? Think that wall should now be a door? Well, with enough perseverance, you can make it happen!

Just uh, be careful about getting sand in your… everywhere.

PHASE II

[ 10:00 ] Someone broke it. Not pointing any fingers, even though you sure do seem like a prime suspect, but someone broke it.

It almost starts like an earthquake with how the castle starts to rumble, the sand shaking right beneath your feet. And then the walls right next to you start to cave in followed promptly by the ceiling right… above your head. Oh dear. The sand starts to run and fall, losing its structure and shape. The hallway behind you starts to cave in, ceiling first and then the walls follow suit. Now the sand really is getting everywhere – but not just uncomfortable places. It’s in your hair, your eyes, your nose…. this sure doesn’t seem like a pleasant way to go!

Best to start running – there’s a trusty drawbridge to get over the moat (because what’s a sandcastle without a moat?) but who knows how long until that, too, is going to give way? Best to cross over it before it starts to shake and disappear too. Or if you don’t make it, hopefully you can land some pretty impressive airtime to make it to the other side!

If not, well...there'll be the sensation of sand crushing down upon you, filling your mouth and eyes, and you won't be able to breathe at all – and then you're alive again on the beach (but possibly in yet another new, uncomfortable, skimpy swimsuit). Honestly, be more careful, would you?

PHASE III

[ 12:00 ] However, once you do make it to the other side, it’s all smooth sailing from there! Or is it? Hah, as they say, life sure can be a beach.

Which is what this is.

Welcome to your Beach Episode, folks. Now that you’ve made it out of the collapsing sand castle, you’ve made it to the luxurious, picturesque golden coastline. Sure, you’re coughing up fine, luxurious, sand dust right now and you’ve definitely gotten sand in all of your crevices thanks to your swimsuit, but that’s okay! Go take a soak in the ocean or something or cool off with a smoothie. There’s a smoothie shack off into the distance, complete with a long chalkboard with… well, probably a few familiar names? And some unfamiliar ingredients. Sounds appetizing right?

That said, once you do ingest some of the smoothie with the name of a newcomer, you might suddenly find yourself feeling a bit… different. You’ll be taking on some of their traits, one of the most intense parts of their personality – or you might need to take a second to sit down because you’re suddenly seeing one of their memories. Whoa. What do they actually put in this stuff?

PHASE IV

[ 15:00 ] For the brave souls that venture out into the water, you have even more adventures waiting for you. Anyone who’s swimming around, wading in the water—hell, even looking at the water is getting scooped up and deposited in one of these giant orbs. But don’t take up too much room, because someone else is getting shoved right in there with you. Time to get cozy with your new friend, because it's only going to get worse as the waves begin to carry you out into this big, blue, virtual ocean. Hopefully the choppy waves don’t bounce you around too much or – well, you could always get really friendly with a stranger! Why not?

At least until it’s made very clear that fresh air does not make it back into these balls. That seems like a bit of a design flaw. Now what? Fight the other person who’s inhaling all your air? Suffer through it for swimsuit-clad fun? Or if you break it…. well, you sure are stranded out in the ocean. Or are you?

After enough flailing, you’ll be met by a giant, dumb-looking creature who will then eat you whole.

Everything goes dark. This is surely the end --

And then you're in Cerealia proper; it seems that was the exit to the level (but why there?) and you'll find yourself either in one of the fountains or the pond in the park. Either way, you'll be very, very well. And this time, that's not virtual. But hey, at least you'll have all of your stuff with you.

BONUS

[ xx:xx ] Do you hear that?

Anyone idle on the beach will hear a distant melody coming from further out into the ocean. It’s a beautiful, elegant song that automatically makes the listener stop what they’re doing and immediately wander toward the noise. It takes you a moment to recall – it takes a moment to think about anything now, really – but you remember hearing the smoothie shack owner say something about mermaids populating the beach. Could this be their song calling out to you? Whether you would normally abide by this kind of call or not, you find your feet walking further and further out into the water, the shallows lapping up to your ankles and up and up as you are drawn in by the song.

A rather classic song, though the usual instances of French are also replaced with the very enticing, enchanting nonsense promise of omelette du fromage........and then they try to drown you.

He helps me out in court, too! He's amazing!

Oh, sure. I help anyone out, but nothing is better than coming to the rescue of a girl. It's practically my job.

( Technically, sort of. Saving villages across the countryside does mean saving girls in the process. This is her first time helping a mermaid no matter how she looks at it, though. )
psycholawgy: (for the first time ever)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2016-05-17 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I do like swimming.

[ ah, way to distract her. ]

Do you want to go to the water?

[personal profile] dattebasa 2016-05-17 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, Lee-san. [ He grins as he's lifted up, finally able to reach and trying to erase the e in bore. But being called Naruto makes his hand freeze.

You can not hit an adult. You CAN NOT hit an adult. He'll just repeat this in his head to try and fight the urge. He focuses in angrilt erasing the pun. ]


Don't confuse me with that old man! I'm Boruto, not Naruto, dattebasa!

[Don't mind Mabel over here, she's going to hug her new friend in return!]

You're telling me! You have no idea what I've been through since we last saw each other and it does not involve any dating monsters at all!

[Then in a low voice?] It's something even weirder!

[As Mabel just kept on staring at the other, it was getting more difficult to hide that pout on her face. In her mind, it looked like this was a serious case of someone who had super boringitis!

The most dangerous case yet! Hmmmm, if jokes won't make him smile then maybe...

Just<.i> maybe...!!]


Weeeellll, between you and me, they'll probably try and make you pay for it! How else are they going to swindle all your money and make everything overpriced? Wouldn't you rather spend it on nicer things instead?

Well, he's a sturdy person in my experience, but he's been here a good bit longer than I have.

[Franziska plz]

You got the PowerPoint presentation, yes?
meowbel: (Abracadabra)

[personal profile] meowbel 2016-05-17 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, I doubt it! It doesn't taste like it's dangerous or anything! If they did, they would have put like some kind of warning!

[Compared to most things, this one seemed the less dangerous anyway! ...Or she just broke right now and that was all she could afford!]

[a small, but nice display of skills with that flip. flynn truly wouldn't mind seeing felicia in action on the battlefield one day to witness this fighting maid firsthand.]

So then the castle possesses defenses even in the absence of knights. [clever, very clever] I may ask about implementing this back home should it already not be in effect.

[There were definitely some weird ones, either the ingredients or the prices... and she can see why Soleil's dismayed.]

They have a really weird sense of humor... when I arrived, they gave all the new people "nutrition facts" - they said I had about seven thousand calories of everything! [And if this was like that, it would explain why Hajime didn't have a drink up there]

Hmmm... [Looking up and down the list... she can't really find one with either a reasonable price or ingredients she'd want to drink, though a few come close] I don't see anything good, do you?
psycholawgy: (YOU ARE SO GOING TO GET IT)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2016-05-17 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ her expression suddenly turns fierce. if there's something athena is a fan of, it's competition. and she's highly competitive, too! ]

Challenge accepted! Are you ready?

[ she gets off her seat now and faces the ocean, ready to start sprinting. ]
niceguypose: (extreme shock)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2016-05-17 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
You are welcome! [He beams cheerily as he is thanked, paying no mind to the fact that this kid already knows his name, but he frowns at the rest of what he has to say.]

B-Boruto...?! But, you seem so much like him!! And, Naruto-kun is in the springtime of his youth!! [He squints back at the list.]

'Uzumaki'... Could it be? Could you be... Naruto-kun's.........

........

......grandfather?????

1/2!

[personal profile] dattebasa 2016-05-17 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The name makes him pause mid-dewatering his clothes. He goes to look around to hope that maybe, just maybe, his dad just happened to be standing near by and someone was, for once today, addressing the right Uzumaki by it. Alas, no such luck. This has gotten old real fast. ]

Would peope stop calling me tha--!

[When one can fly, this kind of escape gets horridly simple. Heck, she just takes them both all the way to the beach, who needs sand danger.]

Hmmm, they could have made that a little more difficult to complete.

[personal profile] bookdrooling 2016-05-17 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[No problem, no problem! Jibril takes her hand but hopefully, she doesn't mind pulling the angel along. She's just floating though so it's not that difficult.]

Is this how humans normally travel from one location to another?
bookdrooling: (pic#8804502)

[personal profile] bookdrooling 2016-05-17 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
It would be normal to me. I suppose that's just going to be a difference in viewpoints.

A future favor is always an acceptable offer. Though if it's backed out of, there could be dire consequences.

[Because no one likes untrustworthy people.]

[personal profile] dattebasa 2016-05-17 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Except turning while yelling makes him stop short since hey!!! He knows that pink hair!! The theme of this week is family members who have forgotten who you are, apparently, and he is SO DONE. But there's something in the back of his mind that registers that if she doesn't know him, she isn't going to know Sarada and it's enough to bring his temper down a notch with concern for how she'll react to it.

Nothing he can do about that now.

Taking off the soaked jacket so he can continue to ring the water out angrily, he changes the yelling to childish passive aggression instead. ]


You've got the wrong Uzumaki, 'ttebasa

[personal profile] bookdrooling 2016-05-17 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
As much as I'm confident in my physical appearance, a mere human shouldn't be asking so much of another. Especially without knowing whom they are.

But, for the sake of politeness, I'll specify that I meant a favor or task in equal value to the small amount of knowledge you can provide.
swordboning: (saber pls)

[personal profile] swordboning 2016-05-17 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Archer is all about the step back but he's not exactly pulling out his own weapons. Or anything he might use.]

I see. While I already figured out that you don't possess Saber's attitude while having a similar appearance to her, I didn't expect it to be this bad. I'm still thinking of a way to react.
cresthopes: (Apprendre)

[personal profile] cresthopes 2016-05-17 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[In response, the boy just shook his head]

No, I don't think so. Because I think I would have known if I did! I don't really know what Pokemon are anyway!

[Hooray for weapons of mass canon confusion!]

[personal profile] cresthopes 2016-05-17 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[As the younger blond just blinked back at the other, he just titled his head. Before he could say anything, it didn't take him long before he realized what he was talking about.

When he looked at Patamon, that was when his mouth formed an 'o' before he gave a giggle.]


If it is a dream, I think it would be a pretty cool one! It's not everyday you get to see a Digimon right?

[personal profile] dattebasa 2016-05-17 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Boruto can't help but stare for a moment, because at this point, he can't really assume anyone knows who he is anymore. If his own mother doesn't know him, why would Shikadai's? Plus, she looks too close to his age to hold even a shred of hope for him.

This place? Sucks.

Still, it'd be more awkward to not say anything, right? Even if Temari has always been a little intimidating. BE BRAVE, BORUTO. ]


Did you get swallowed by that weird looking whale too?

( After a few more ments, Soleil groans in defeat. Anything appetizing has impossible prices and anything with acceptable pricing sounds disgusting. There are a couple viable options, but she frankly finds those the most suspicious. )

Jeez. I wonder if we can order something not on the menu. Or...settle for water.

( She was so close. How dare this dumb shop ruin her chance of sharing a drink with a cute girl? The perfect day is a bit less perfect now. )

Sorry, we might need to wait until we get back for me to get you something decent to drink.
