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.

Read to me what it needs, perhaps we can somehow gain it.

( though she does not mind helping this child, he seems so keen on such a simple drink. the female turns towards him with a kind smile. ) Once this is done, I'm sure you'll praise me.

( though, it shouldn't be so hard to gain the beverage, besides, if her own is so cheap, perhaps sayo will have it much easier. )

You're as stern as Jakob, [Felicia complained, ambient temperature around them dropping several degrees much more.]

I might not be the best maid out there, but I'm not completely useless! I've become better and stronger, like a caterpillar that turns into a butterfly, you know!

Living it up a little doesn't mean you have to inhale a whole smoothie at once...

[Maybe his motivational life-affirming advice was wasted after all. Oh well. Raven scoots away a little.]

If you're going to throw up, aim the other way, kid.

[ Let's be real, Allen probably knows him as one of those weirdos who was strangely (or disturbingly) alright with the whole "shoved into an extremely embarrassing swimsuit" thing. Nevertheless, Saiduq is as polite as he would be in any other outfit (in which his current one is thankfully his usual wear) and merely lets out a small chuckle at the stomach growl. ]

If you are hungry, I can..."foot the bill", I believe the phrase is, for your meal. There are quite a few restaurants in distance.

[ ...Although technically almost everywhere is "in distance" when you're a teleporter. ]

WAIT no it's the last name of those siblings from that 90s transformer mecha show they used to watch sometimes, isn't it? weren't they humans though? what was that show even called? it must not have been that good if he can't even remember it... ]

Haaah... Can't believe I became Pinocchio for a few minutes there.

[Thankfully, Hiro had his regular old bunny hood coat back, so he was busy squeezing the water out from his bunny ears. Then again, he figured that it would be easier to use the Factor of Heat and dry himself off. Though before he could execute that, Hiro notices Allen approaches him...

With an ungodly roar of the stomach. Well, he lets out a little cheeky laugh from that reaction.]


And 'grrrrroaaaar' to you too, buddy! I'm guessing 'hnnngooooa' is how you say goodbye?
rosaichthys: (pic10229413)

UGH IM LAUGHING

[personal profile] rosaichthys 2016-05-15 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm, is that some sort of phrase to say that I've taken your breath away? Finally, you've given me praise directly from your lips! Perhaps you're not as tedious as I believed!

( STOP! this is a joyous day for nero, even she can't believe it! whoever this maker is, she has taken someone's breath! )

I truly have no clue on how to get out from.. why do you look away? Ahem, you should look at me when we speak, do not be rude!

Hmm. Hanging out with you a bit more would be a nice start. How about it?
mombastic: (Oy vay)

[personal profile] mombastic 2016-05-15 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Well. It's worth a shot, anyway.

[ But she has to... fish her cellphone... out of her swimsuit top... look she didn't have pockets. ]
maidhem: (questioning)

[personal profile] maidhem 2016-05-15 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Then why are you being rude and mean? I can't imagine how the family you work for tolerates that.

[She paused for a moment.]

....Well, Corrin likes having Jakob around, and Sir Gunter taught him how to fight like he taught me. I guess that answers my question.

[To be fair, he probably wouldn't have been QUITE as abrasive had he been a different person?? But the fact he was trying to play innocent and dumb when he straight up tried to run him over was beginning to piss him off (well... piss him off even more, really), and he gives him a once-over.]

Oh please, cut the act already, asshole. You don't try to hit someone with a friggin' car and pretend nothing happened!

... what's with the suit, anyway? I thought red was your color.

[Even with all the (light) exercise she'd been doing, it doesn't change the fact that she's still a princess and that she's more used to taking leisurely walks than running for her life. So thank goodness Allen slings her up and throws her into another pile of sand albeit a safe pile. She gets the breath knocked out of her, a scrape along her arm and in all other places thanks to her swimsuit and a mouthful of sand, but as soon as she can get her breath back, she'll be able to tell him that she's grateful and that it could have been much worse.

But for now, she's trying to get the taste of sand from her mouth, bent over on the pile of sand and coughing. At least she's looking up at him with watering eyes and tries her best to look grateful until she can speak again.]

It's not something we usually tell people about. I only ask because there are a few similarities between a Knight's Armor and what you were wearing.

[Though Jinga was pretty lax about the rules. He was Fallen after all. The rules didn't mean anything to him.]

Although I would expect to see a sword or something similar.
forgeabettertomorrow: (Face tomorrow)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-05-15 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
N...No, no I got this...

[Ulp...]

[Darin takes a deep breath and closes his eyes, waiting for his stomach just accept what he just forced into it. A minute or so later, the proper color starts to return to his cheeks, and he grins sheepishly.]


See? No sweat...maybe not the most refreshing thing in the world but at least I've got something in my stomach other than sand, now.

So...what brings you to this paradise?

It's a pain in the ass, but not the worst this place has to offer. I'd be on the verge of a breakdown if something like this started fazing me.

[his words come with a shrug and a sigh. this is seriously nothing but an annoyance compared to some of the things he's dealt with, even just in ViViD.]

If it was really Opposite Day, you'd be getting a hell of a lot more of a show right now, old man.
rosaichthys: (pic10259593)

...and that bar is shut down for months because of inside repairs due to two tyrants wrecking it

[personal profile] rosaichthys 2016-05-15 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
To think that the beverage given to me would make a fascinating article of clothing, I do believe that you should take up that idea! Fascinating, not many people hold such a beautiful mind.

( all a person has to do is speak about something nero has in a positive like and she'll forever be baited by it. ) Do tell me, does your beverage compare to the one that I have? Umu! They must believe me to be someone to instill fear, though they are not wrong.

W-what? [ That wasn't what he'd intended at all, it was a term of exasperation, not... anything else. Definitely not praise. Trust me, you'd know if it were praise. ]

That wasn't what it meant, but we shouldn't linger on that. We need to-- [ He freezes in place when she tells him that he's being rude but he can't look at her right now. Isn't it bad enough they're really close with very little clothing?? Nero, please. ]

I think that would be inappropriate right now.
adornmental: (hot potato)

[personal profile] adornmental 2016-05-15 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey— Hey!! Stop it, stop - people are staring!!

[Okay is anyone really staring when they're all trying to escape being crushed by a crumbling sand castle, though... He sure seems to think so.]

How can you not be embarrassed?! Geez! Why'd I have to get picked up by the most shameless person in the whole castle!
rosaichthys: (pic10229417)

HOW DARE YOU!

[personal profile] rosaichthys 2016-05-15 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
For you to say such a thing, I wouldn't even waste my time bestowing my gaze among your savage face! You should watch your tongue, I'm sure my beverage is much better and sweeter than yours.

( nero calm down! archer is just being that smug asshole that he's meant to be. )

Mm, yours would be just as sour as your attitude.

Er...

[ Funny how that boy was flailing more than she was but details. Ishtar gives him a blank look when he runs into her on his way out. She didn't blame him honestly. Being in a creepy ass sand castle was weird and freaky. She's not interested in that to be honest. ]

It's alright...?

[ She tilted her head. Normally, she'd be a bit more upset but today was generally a bad day so Ishtar was going to just let it go and not make a big deal out of it. CEREs sure hate the people here to be honest. ]

Really, it's fine. You don't have to keep mumbling like that. Do you need a hand?

I'm tryin' to save your skin, kid! Nothin' else! Now shut up and run!

[ Well to be fair, if he knew more about it instead of judging already, he might realise it isn't exactly the same anyway. The mages in Felicia's world aren't preyed upon by demons wanting to possess them, there's a difference. ]

Don't get me wrong... [ Now he just looks uncomfortable because of the topic itself, it's helped him forget about his state of dress momentarily at least. ] Not all mages are bad, we'll just have to be careful.

[Unfortunately, Veronica is having many problems understanding why anyone finds these swimsuits so strange. Uncomfortable, maybe, what with the chafing straps and all the sand around them but ultimately she was okay even with her own swimsuit....

So of course, her first reaction to the scream is a worried tilt of her head as she immediately goes to crouch beside Lissa, looking down at the sand and then back to her:]


...Have you lost something?
