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.

[ this is the moment when he realises he's just met somebody who can be actually worse than saruhiko fushimi. and now he really has no idea what to think. ]

Shit.

[ talking without thinking again. ]

I'm seriously not a pervert, I swear. I can't even talk to girls.

( can't even talk to girls...

normally, this would garner pity from most people. from kyrie?
) So someone can't be a pervert unless they're a bonafide virgin?

Is that what you're suggesting? Because if that's the case, I ... have unfortunate news for you.

[ ALL I HEAR IS A PERVERT!!!

he's tired. he's exhausted. all he wants to do is throw kyrie over that counter and --

...

TRADE HIM FOR A DRINK. binch, you thought. ]


Shut up! We all know what you implied -- don't play stupid, you dumb pervert! [ ugh. he hates perverts. but he especially hates players. anyway, the clerk solemnly informs him that he can't sell him his own drink, because kyrie is most definitely not his relative.

but!

there's a drink for a price of your finest cow available, and kyrie could potentially fit the bill!

... though, as soon as he sees its' name... he just wants to die instead. in his frustration, he releases kyrie's wrist... just to punch him in the arm right afterwards. ]


Shut up, you're the deviant. And because you didn't cooperate, now I can't even have a drink. Make it up to me, you waste of space.

[Ah, a fellow mankini victim. This makes Raven feel a little better about his own pink one. He watches from the sidelines as Jack writes on his, cocking his head sideways to read it when he's finished.]

[You know what's worse than winding up in ViViD in nothing but a speedo and these ridiculous inflatable things?

Winding up in ViViD in nothing but a speedo and these ridiculous inflatable things within view of Franziska von Karma, that's right. Don't get Edgeworth wrong, he's happy to see his sister...and at the same time, he wouldn't wish this sort of fate on anyone. Plus, she's going to whip him, isn't she. He certainly didn't miss THAT. For now, he just gasps at the sight of her, both in surprise and in embarrassment for her because she's wearing something equally ludicrous and revealing.]


N-no, Franziska, I most certainly would not! [Edgeworth just focuses on her face. This is different from the times when she was little and he saw her in the nude so many times, okay.

Franziska might notice a few things that are different with him, though. There is a scar on his stomach, a sign of surgery done quite a while ago. And while he's always had the linebacker shoulders, he might be a little more buff, with more pronounced muscles, from all the fighting and training he has had to do.]

( rude... so incredibly rude???

well, considering how convoluted this "transaction" became, it isn't exactly startling to see that negotiations have become haywire. and... that chuya has been utterly rejected. but, really? kyrie feels no remorse. can't say he was exactly put in a situation where he could conjure up such a feeling, either. so...

he gives his version of a shurg; a light movement in his shoulders. ... that is, before he feels that contact. prior.... to that motion, he may have simply just walked away. brushed this exchange off (maybe after one or two comments and some brief tormenting), but... now. things were different...


and this shit was personal. instead, he just smiles knowingly.
) That's a lot of backtalk for a mere beggar. A tasteless beggar who thinks he's my relative, no less. ( but!! ) Regardless, I am feeling generous. ( leaning over the counter, he softly inputs his order. his voice hardly audible. especially from a fair distance. the clerk seems to agree to the request with... a bit of question in his eyes, but nothing too big. ) So? Where's my gratitude?

( just... wait for it. )

[ :') of course. ]

That really... isn't necessary. [ He sighs it out, because really does it matter to be polite when you're as undressed as they are.

He shifts slightly, but that only makes him slide closer to her, his arm keeping a small gap. ]


I really don't know what to say.

[ Other than ANDRASTE'S FUCKING ASS WHY IS THIS REAL.... ]

[ oh, don't worry, his parents are dead, too -- clearly, this doesn't affect the lie at all?! just imagine a mother with white hair and a dad with red hair, wham, bam, thank you, ma'am, they're made. anyway, said parents are probably really awful, selling their daughter like this.

the big brother has nothing to do with it -- it's just duty.

also, he wants that drink!! ]


That hurts. I was with you the entire time you were growing up, too. [ he sighs, wistfully, picking her up none-too-gently to put her right on the counter. ] So, about that trade --

[As Takeru was looking at the menu, he couldn't help but be reminded of the first time he arrived in Ceralia. It wasn't everyday he got his name for winning something! Although, when he happened to spot a rather familiar name, his eyes immediately widen.

No way, he thought to himself, Ishtar couldn't be back! ...Could she?

But when saw her, he didn't know what he was thinking! Running as fast as his little legs could take him, he quickly gave her a hug!]


Ishtar-san!

( judgemental eyes part 2. feat... kyrie.

but, well. kyrie was capable being generous on occasion. he knew how to rectify most social indelicacies. hence, he speaks fluidly in reply.
) Worry not. It appears they have venues to cure that here.

They don't require speaking, either.

It doesn't exactly feel like a game. [ But this isn't her fault, either way. Or he doubts it, given she's in the same situation as he is. ]

[ Sometime after Oona is done almost killing people in her other prompts, she will find herself approached by a middle-aged man as she lounges around the beach. ]

That was sloppy work back there, kid. If you're gonna screw with people, you make sure that they die so they can't come back and get ya. I mean, that's just... basic life lessons, you know?

Take a tip from your elders, kid: never drink something if ya don't know what's in it.
