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 could have at least commented on her forehead!! ] It was that bad?

[ Mostly to herself before she rushes up to join him, ready to punch apart a chunk of sand. Swinging into it, her hit isn't as effective as she thought it might be as her arm sinks into the sand. ]

Oh come on!

[listen we can't all all be six and a half feet fishwomen with long legs!! She's running as fast as she can!!]

[Maya did actually watch the punching and was pretty impressed.... for those five seconds before everything went to sand. And of course she took off running the second she could, even if that wasn't fast enough for Undyne]


I thought sandcastles were supposed to be tougher than this! How are the little sandpeople gonna make it if they're all gonna just---

[And yep, she's been snagged by Undyne. Regardless of what kind of handling it is, she's still gonna shriek]

Aaaah!

[ -Yeah she notices that adjustment. ]

Okay, but before we go? [ There's a brief moment of concentration that passes over her face before whatever embarrassingness beneath that innertube is replaced by some rather standard shorts and a t-shirt; far more comfortable and practical.

He's still wearing the innertube, though.

(She thinks it's funny.) ]

[personal profile] brain 2016-05-15 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
❙ PHASE I;
CALL IT A CATHARTIC EXERCISE
001.( this whole farce was beyond ludicrous. absolutely ridiculous, ... and an infringement of his personal aesthetic, even. which perhaps... was the largest crime in hindsight. despite kyrie not exactly finding qualms with revealing his body, it was more... the principle that wrecked his Delicate Sensibilities. after all, there was style in occasionally practicing some immodesty, and this certainly wasn't his idea of it.

... plus, the texture of gritty sand against his skin isn't exactly a positive, either. but, regardless, considering they've already been placed into this... rather precarious situation, he does his best to ease into it. to relieve some stress. though, probably not in an orthodox manner. going up the nearest individual, he neatly crosses his arms over his chest.
) My, how absolutely shameless. To believe there's someone who looks so comfortable in this state. I suppose, this must be akin to your normal attire? ( he sounds as if he's actually curious, or merely inquisitive, but really??? he's just deriving pleasure in potentially tormenting someone. )

Do you know what we call such individuals? ( dramatic pause. ) That's right, we call such people—

Perverts. ( he smiles amicably. as they say, when in doubt... cast judgment onto others!?!

forget the fact that he's actually in no better of a state. but hey?? shame is relative.
)

002.( maybe, just maybe you've accidentally stared a bit too long. or, maybe your gaze was just looking a bit past him. regardless, your eyes meet. however brief, and it goes without saying that... kyrie takes offense to that. or maybe he doesn't and this is just an elaborate rouse to simply rid himself of his temper tantrum.

with a smile he speaks—
) Ah, are you perhaps captivated? ( he looks oddly thoughtful at that, his head slightly canted as if he were truly in some state of wonderment. ) Shall I take that as an invitation...? ( but, before that can even begin to cause any questions to arise— ) To kick sand in your eyes.

( or, maybe... if you're an unfortunate male, he actually does... kick sand in your eyes. sorry, not sorry. )

❙ PHASE III;
THE GIANT KYRIE-BABY... ????
001. ( the drinks, were undeniably, not v. appetising to him. to begin with he was rather picky. in all his pretentious overtures, he surely didn't skimp on finding complain with everything. the smoothie are no exception. but, well... considering he was parched and there was little in the way of actual working options, he decides to....

practice a bit of open-mindedness (yeah, right). but, well, he can't deny its piqued his interests, if just for utilizing his name. though, um??? he reads the price, and then aloud, he wonders:
) ... and what would you consider "pride"? ( then, turning to the person beside him. )

Would you be willing to forfeit yours for the sake of experiment? ( is he looking oddly threatening????? )

002.( as the type who constantly sought out some form of entertainment, it isn't exactly surprising that he finds himself with a fairly sizeable list of things to do... in order to garner a reaction. he mentally peruses this, before he finally strikes a conversation. he lifts an elegant hand out, a neat and curt wave of hand. it almost seems exaggerated for such a venue, but regardless. ) It seems fate has a way of working in mysterious ways.

To celebrate our meeting, how about a bit of a game? ( .... say no. if u know what's good 4 u. )

❙ WILDCARD;
LET'S HIT EACH OTHER AND CALL IT EVEN
( if none of these scenarios work for you, let me know and i can write you up something unique!! in reverse, you can also feel free to hit me with anything! ♥ )
zerotohiro: (Actually kind of childish sometimes)

[personal profile] zerotohiro 2016-05-15 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh thank god. There's a sigh of relief and his shoulders visibly relax, even if he's glaring almost playfully as he pointedly steps out of the innertube and sets it and the drink in the sand.]

Much. [He's pulling at the t-shirt thoughtfully, pleased with the fact that it seems real enough before he grins up at her.] Let me guess. Magic?

Blah-blaah-blaah. [ Jack waves his arms around dramatically. ]

Maybe nobody's tried hard enough 'cause they just like keeping you around. You know what you remind me of, kiddo? A sad clown. You're here to make others feel good about themselves. Think of it as your purpose, in a cosmic sense. It's-- it's admirable, really.

[Fortunately, Hajime is not a very big girl, so there's plenty of room in the bubble for both of them without being on top of each other (as long as they don't roll over or something...). Unfortunately, Hajime is kind of a big girl, and that swimsuit is really not helping matters. Have fun staring out at the ocean, Izuku.]

Hi! I'm Hajime!

[Oh and now she's leaning over to offer a handshake, just what he needed, right?]

[He might not have even noticed her forehead in the heat of that moment!

Lee tries to focus on the sand that he's punching through, but he does manage to catch Sakura's predicament out of the corner of his eyes.]


Sakura-san, are you alright?! [He's nervous about being near her right now, but he's ready to put that aside if she needs help!]

PHASE IV:A (1/3 YOU KNOW ME)

[personal profile] corona 2016-05-15 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. No! [ she grins ] I can handle it.

[ And she does - taking an enormous gulp of air without a beat of hesitation. Her eyes flicker to the side, catching Jack's as if to say, "Why yes, I AM good at holding my breath. Thank you so much for asking." ]
corona: (‣ childhood trauma sucks :|)

(2/4 YOU KNOW ME 8|)

[ Sapphire would be totally willing to help her out with a leaf outfit of her own, of course. Considering she's not the thief and all.

But she sure would like an explanation on that. ]


Whaddya mean?

[ Did they run away too fast??? She can catch 'em. ]

[personal profile] heartsandcrafts 2016-05-15 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
[A quick dip in the ocean solved the sand problem, so have a soaking wet Hajime plopping down on the stool beside her with a grin before looking over the menu]

Hmmmm, I don't see one... I guess it's just for the new people? I'll have to try yours instead!

[Well, she's guessing she meant Tamamango was hers, which meant she was new, right?]
corona: (‣ and what if you were?)

[personal profile] corona 2016-05-15 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.....kay!

Mission complete. Tried not to breathe. Breathing stopped. [ Rapunzel beams and gives Jack a thumbs up and a wink.

Then there's a beat. ]

[Well, Maya's got herself a faux fur bikini that 1) looks ridiculous 2) exposes something she'd rather the public don't see: an unpleasant-looking scar across her stomach. But while she looks a little unhappy, her little number doesn't look nearly as uncomfortable as..... whatever that man's speedo is supposed to be. Seriously, that looks weird and painful.]

.....Yeesh. CERES really has no idea what fashion is supposed to be.

[but she can't help peering curiously at the metal device, mostly so she doesn't have to look lower]

Hey, hey, are you a cyborg? Maybe you should stay clear of the water...

...
















Now what.






[ Seriously. Now what? Immediately she begins looking around for a better, actually viable way out of the damn bubble. They can hardly hold their breathe until all the air runs out, after all. That's just impractical.

And stupid. Holding your breathe until you run out of air is immensely fucking stupid. Hence, of course, Rapunzel's reasoning for poking at the material as if it were some sort of amoebae or bacteria under a microscope. ]

Magic, [ she agrees, though continues on to clarify: ] Just an illusion, though, so it won't last forever, but hopefully at least until we're out of here?

[ She hopes that provides enough explanation, and waits until Hiro seems settled before she begins walking towards a quieter area of the beach. With him wanting to know more about the Drabwurld, it makes her wish she had her sketchbook at hand, if only because at least then there would be some illustrations to go along with it. ]

So- Do you want the condensed version or the novel about the Drabwurld? [ She's fully aware that it's dependant on how much attention span he has to spare. ]

[personal profile] heartsandcrafts 2016-05-15 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Hajime isn't embarrassed either, but she is being careful. Why? Let's just say her figure means she's definitely a sight to see in the red sling bikini, and she's one wrong move away from making it a whole lot more.

So she's not quite as bouncy as usual as she approaches, but at least her smile isn't dampened]


Right? It's definitely a huge improvement over the jungle or the swamp they had us in the last times too.

[ Or one he really doesn't want to go up against because he knows what it feels like to end up missing parts of his body, and she's strong enough to probably disintegrate pieces with one blow. Not to mention there's no Juugo around to repair the damage this time. ]

Sakura...

[ He really doesn't want a confrontation here, especially while dressed like this, but the threat is there in his voice. It's bad enough that he had to run into her at all, let alone resort to this!

I've been here before. It's a statement that shouldn't be of any interest to him, but much to his annoyance, it is. She's been here before. She knows more about this place than he does. She could possibly have more answers than Lee did, simply because Sakura had a sharp mind if nothing else. Knowing that she could actually be of use to him is kind of irritating, especially after everything he'd done to try and sever those ties. ]


Fine. But don't be disappointed if what you get isn't what you want. [ Ouch. That was painful to say. All that just to erase one word from a board. ]

[And she's clearly got the look of a pokemon thief]


Hey, hey, it wasn't me! I didn't poke your mans!

[That's what she said, right]

[He should be doing something else. He should be helping other people, making sure his friends are safe...but it's a beach. And he can't deny that he's curious based only on what he's seen. Why doesn't he remember these things if it's true? He slips his hands in the pockets of his shorts though, walking after her and trying to keep up with his shorter legs even if Clarke isn't that much taller than he is.]

Doesn't seem that fair to ask for the full story when you just got here and probably have a bunch of questions about this place, too. [He wants to know someday though.] What's the condensed version?

[ ...okay, you've got her attention, Felicia. she didn't even check to see if there were boys around. she stops digging momentarily to suspiciously eye their surroundings—she's not crazy about being seen by girls, either, but not having any boys around might make her a little more comfortable... ]

You think so? I was gonna hide in a hole, but I guess I'd just be stuck here if I did...

[ she's still slumped over in the sand, but she looks like she's considering getting up. baby steps. ]
