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.

[ Phoenix could probably do without the whipping experience. She peers into the sandy interior and lets something like a short cough. Some of it got into her mouth, gross. ]

Was it ever their intention to murder us with sand? It gets thicker when you go further in. I need a shield, would you like to volunteer?

[ Don't sign up for that. ]

Zero potential? Of all the folly.

What would you do if a measly human such as myself learned magic out of the blue? Wouldn't that be defying the rules?

[personal profile] dattebasa 2016-05-22 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Battlefield? [ He tries to remember the few times he's heard his parents talk about the war, but all he's ever heard are vague praises about his father being a hero. He's never gotten details. He remembers seeing how his father fought, how powerful he was, and knowing deep down how rough it must have been.

And here Temari was with first hand and fresh knowledge. Prying is rude, right? It's totally rude. Do not pry. Do not do it, Boruto. ]


Are you fighting in the uh - the - [ ... Shit he should have paid attention in history. ] Great Shinobi War? [ Who cares what number, it's obviously not going to be a different one from his parents. ]
uchihaprincess: (your eyes are bluer than the 7ths)

[For a brief moment, Sarada realizes that knowledge of an injury that big was not a good opening line. However, she's not about to lie to her father, that feels like the wrong approach. So she braves the truth.]

During the Fourth Shinobi War. There's a fight I guess you haven't fought yet. So you are just younger than when I know you.

[That adults had never gone into great detail about that fight. She wasn't quite sure why, but the past wasn't something that was brought up about. The adults had always seemed to prefer the future. She didn't even really understand what it meant to be an Uchiha.]

I probably shouldn't have even said anything about it, but I'm not mistaking you for anyone else.

[It wasn't hard to see she was nervous. The whole situation was making her nervous. But she wanted to please her papa more than anything, keep him with her and her mother by making him happy.]

You are Uchiha Sasuke, right? [Different he might be, but he was still her papa.]

[ Ooops... ]

Very well, we'll do as you say. Would you care to be my escort?

You're much taller than I am, it's only fitting that you'd lead.

[ Hey you can't do that Franziska. Stop making the rules. But seriously Merlin can do as he pleases. ]

[personal profile] dattebasa 2016-05-22 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Just arrived. [ He looks over to where he is pointing, wondering just how uncomfortable a walk that might be in wet clothes. Especially the shoes. Ugh>. ] What kind of place dumps you in a pond where there aren't any free towels nearby, 'ttebasa...

A bucket and shovel...?

[ Wait, what? Give Yosuke a few seconds to catch up with the logic that's being used, here. His eyes narrow and for a moment, the stares at the other boy like he's grown a second head.

And then it hits him. ]


...Dude, no, that's not what I meant. [ SIGH. ] I mean like literally go down through the castle. This isn't the only floor, right? I've already gone down a couple, so...
fingerbanged: (*RAGERAGERAGE*)

[personal profile] fingerbanged 2016-05-22 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[You can see the class radiating off of this whole exchange-- but Yusuke bristles a little, even if what Yosuke said was... probably entirely true.]

Because I'm THAT badass, okay?! It's like-- riding a wild stallion or something! [YUSUKE WHAT THIS MAKES NO SENSE]

Besides, I'm not the one who landed ass up in the sand, okay?

prosecutory: (♙ was in vain; and all)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2016-05-22 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Owww!

[This time, he didn't even have time to dodge. He yelps; he's not going to be surprised if he walks out of this sand castle all red from being whipped.]

I never said I wouldn't explain, Franziska!
uchihaprincess: (awwww she's happy)

[personal profile] uchihaprincess 2016-05-22 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
[The kid seems sweet enough and she offers him a small smile.]

Sorry, it's not your fault I'm in a bad mood. I think my Mama used to dress me in silly swimsuits like this when I was little.
uchihaprincess: (awwww she's happy)

[personal profile] uchihaprincess 2016-05-22 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
You've been trapped her this long?

[She shakes her head.] Missions don't even usually last that long!
fingerbanged: <user name=narben> (I'm too hot (hot damn))

IT'S OKAY WE'LL JUST PRETEND OTHERWISE

[personal profile] fingerbanged 2016-05-22 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
[What a little shit.]

There's a huge difference between protecting those who don't know how to defend themselves and those who do, dumbass! I'm not about to get all patronizing on your tiny ass and say you couldn't do it, because you obviously know how to. You just didn't even bother!

[He doesn't even flinch at Boruto's outburst, though it does get him to grit his teeth.]

But see, if you're smart enough to know that, why couldn't you do it before, huh? Use some of that fighting knowledge when we were up against those monsters?

[Odango. Well, Allen wouldn't be the first to compare her hair to food. Though luckily, that implication flies over Usagi's head as she orders another smoothie, for him. Once it is ready, she passes it along, still looking between Allen and Tim.]

So you're my age. Or...I guess. Time here seems different to back home, but date-wise it was my birthday.

fingerbanged: (and you thought you were seeing things)

[personal profile] fingerbanged 2016-05-22 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Definitely not everyone! But Yusuke's familiar with spirit-related powers, and he can't help but be a bit curious to what is up with that cape.

Puu lets out a happy 'Puuu!' in response, grateful to be out of that confined space and out in the air again. Meanwhile, Yusuke shifts into a more comfortable sitting position, though he lets out a small 'erk' at the mention of the near mishap.]


Yeah, well-- it was a tricky act to pull off, that's for sure. Aerial stunts aren't exactly something we practiced back home, but...

[There's a small grin back, the sloppy landing from before already forgotten.]

... I'm glad we managed to pull it off. But no need to thank me, okay? It'd be a dick move to have you drown, after all.

The only fool that's here is you and I accept your challenge. [ She's always so competitive, even when there's zero chance of winning. Oh well. ]

A Von Karma doesn't know defeat, only perfection. If I win then you lose your rights to call me High priestess of foolism of principality of fooltopia.

No. I take that back, watching our backs was a mistake.

You seem to lack refinement and decency.

[Her whip is at her hip, ready to strike any time. Franziska looks so mad at that comment. She was never really one to take jokes. A person with a poor sense of humor, if you will.]
fingerbanged: (make it or break it)

[personal profile] fingerbanged 2016-05-22 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Yusuke's shifting into his own fighting stance, but he's not about to hit him-- yet.]

Probably not, Grandpa! But I'm giving you another moment to reconsider, because I really don't want to send you to the old people's home in pieces!
onerous: (floating in between the light and dark)

[personal profile] onerous 2016-05-22 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Wha-- [She goes still a moment, jaw working against an immediate denial. It makes sense, and is unfortunately the quickest and easiest way to get them back to shore, even if his way of phrasing things leaves a lot to be desired.

It also feels weird because so far only Lee's carried her like this. And given the amount of skin-to-skin contact this is going to generate... But, Yuri's practical at least. She can see the pros to this outweighs the cons and her own discomfort.

Dammit.

I hope you're fast. [She takes a deep breath, steels herself again, and climbs onto his back, though a bit stiffly. She really doesn't want to be holding onto him for more than she needs to!!

This is so uncomfortable w h y

Nuh-uh! You're obviously blonde and all-American, and I'm obviously a beautiful damsel in distress. You're stuck with this one, pal. When has the guy ever been the one to survive any disaster? Name one movie.

If you're really good at this, we might survive together after a fake cut that makes it seem like you died.

[Viridi snootily sniffs as she establishes how definitely right she is.]

Now that we've agreed - do you have any food? All I've had is a smoothie that tasted like feet.
forceofnature: (Confused)

[personal profile] forceofnature 2016-05-22 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a goddess. Can't you tell from the way you're blinded by my perfection?

[Viridi sounds exasperated as she rolls her eyes.]

How are you doing that? We didn't create the laws of physics for you people to go breaking them willy-nilly.

[ Sai on the other hand doesn't see what the problem is, in fact, he doesn't realize she even has reservation. It was the logical choice and he was the one expending energy to carry them both back. The fact that they're barely clad in anything or that she might feel uncomfortable never even crosses his mind. Why would it?

So, when she climbs on, Sai makes sure to secure his hold on her and begins the long trek back to shore. ]
fingerbanged: <lj site="livejournal.com" user="imparfit"> (and it's alright)

[personal profile] fingerbanged 2016-05-22 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[... honestly, it's a little of both?? Yusuke's pretty decent at sniffing out bullshit, but considering the weirdness of this place, it's entirely possible it was the case (and Yusuke's enough of a dull crayon at times to not really question this.)

Not that Totty has completely been redeemed in his eyes, because now he's dealing with a pissy asshole instead of an obnoxious one, but... maybe being an ass was the baseline personality, WHO KNEW.]


Jeez, really? Guess lots of guys in their early twenties are gonna be single for a good, long while then. [Not that Yusuke can talk about good hair or anything, but fashion or not, IT LOOKS DUMB.]

... anyway, fine, sorry I confused you for your stupid evil twin, then. But I'm still not giving you my friggin' towel, okay? For someone with anemia, you sure like to get worked up a lot, don't you?
