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.

[ unfortunately for mary... Big Brother is very fast. he catches her again without any trouble?? ]

Ahh, the least you could do is be obedient. Maybe if you listen, they'll change their minds. [ whoever... the imaginary parents are. they aren't even here to change their minds in the first place, but... details???

in the meantime, the clerk says she will also make a good virgin sacrifice, if he wants that milk duds smoothie.

tempting... ]

This isn't so bad, is it? I do wish we could get outside, though.

(Unlike Franziska, Soleil couldn't think of a better way to meet someone.)

There must be an exit somewhere. Would you like an escort to help you find it? I wouldn't feel right leaving you all alone.

( She stares at him like he said something completely inane. )

What are you talking about? I'm wearing a super cute swimsuit. See, look at these clamshells. Aren't they adorable?!

( She thrusts out her chest to proudly display the clamshell bikini. )

And yours is...well, it's...something! Definitely something.

( It doesn't appeal to her in the least, but that is no fault of his. )

[It was difficult. He had been having nightmares for the past few months but he didn't want to say anything. He didn't want anyone to worry about him and especially when everyone else was just as worried as he was. Who knows what this place might to everyone here.]

No, we wouldn't. But I still wish there was something we can do to say that this isn't right. I really want to talk to them because I don't want to start a fight.

[As much as he knew he had to, another part of him didn't. If there was just only a peaceful way to end all of this, he would gladly take it. But as of right now? He was starting to cry even harder than before]

No, he's a Digimon! He's a Digital Monster but he's different from the monsters you see, he's really nice!

[Takeru said before Patamon started flying over to Yuna before waving his hand to her. But afterwards, the both of them just looked down at said drink before looking back at her]

Well...if you say so. [And with that, when he took a sip? That's when his eyes immediately widen before taking a few steps back!

Just what was in that thing anyway?]

... They don't really care if it's practical, most of the time.

[There's a young looking boy in what looks like a blue... mankini? Is answering Honey.

He'll find something better to cover himself with, later.

[Girls in general were a weakness for Teddie. Pretty girls in sexy swimsuits were probably even a bigger one. Kinda. In any way, it meant that Teddie - chivalrious as he was - could not ignore the screams of a fair young maiden in need, caused by a.... cat.

Or rather, she really seemed to want that cat back and as the hero he was, he started chasing after it, too.]


Kitty, wait! Don't run away!

[ just look at all those drinks... briefly, he wonders how caramiya was able to pay for all of them, but maybe he's just rich — or maybe he just bought all the ones worth some amount of currency because gosh, can you imagine giving up your pride and honor?

but while he would recommend caramiya's directly if he knew his name, he realizes that he sort of... doesn't know that. so this'll turn out to be a learning experience for the both of them! ]


Well, why don't you try the one with your name, before trying anything else? And then give me a sip too, because I'm curious.

( Jeez, all the men here are so jittery and weird. Not that she particularly cares, but even she couldn't helped but notice. Have they never seen girls before? )

Yeah! They're clam shells. Aren't they cute?

( She adjusts them a bit. Like many others, Soleil got saddled with a swimsuit one size too small. After, she stands proudly with her shells thrust out. )

I look great! This is the best day ever. Hehe.

[Why, gods, did she have to stay on her knees? Neji wasn't even sure if her blue blood shining through made it better or worse, but there was one thing that was certain: he wasn't getting on her level. He's found his balance on the rolling, bobbing-- hamster ball. contraption. and still has his arms out so he can grip the sides, so he can stay on what's been dubbed His Side of their newest death trap. He's kind of looking like the dictionary definition of a scaredycat; it's hilarious.

Well his posture is, his face not so much. It's carefully blank because there are way too many things to focus on. And hey, at least he's got a towel around his waist and another around his shoulders that might help obscure some scars but.

He frowns. Why the apology--?]
If you think you can. [Because he can get them out too, for the freakin' record, but-] Can you swim? [In case.]

[Because why not. Why wouldn't Neji Hyuga be sulking through the sand castle corridors wondering if keeping his hands in front of him would only draw more attention to the fact he's wearing half of thong. Actually, scratch that, he knows it does just as he knows that every movement he makes just serves to drag him and his skimpy outfit further into Hell. So, stuck between a rock and a hard place (someone explain to him why that had to be the saying that came to mind), there's really nothing to do but ignore it.

The best he possibly can.

He can't.

No matter how many 'exits' he creates with his stupid little newfound power, he can't find a way to get out of the game or even out of the castle. And lo, that's how he comes up behind the-- Sand. nin.

On the one hand, if there was ever anybody who wouldn't give a damn, it was this one. One the other hand, if there was anybody who wouldn't give a damn-- etc, etc. Damn.]
You're a Sand-nin, you figure it out.

[Will be crossing his hands over his chest now, thanks, don't-- killhimlookathim. C, all of the above.]

Yup, I was at home and then got dumped into one of these 'levels'. It was hot and sweaty, and not in a good way.

( A beach and a desert may both be sunny and sandy, but they couldn't possibly be more different. )

Anyway! I know I'm adorable, but don't let appearances fool you: I'm a rough and tough mercenary fighting for justice. That's pretty cool, right?

Well yeah! As long as there's nothing super dangerous, it should be fine!

But am I glad to see you here! Welcome to Cerealia! ...Again!

[Nakigitsune has also been staring at the drinks...the names are weird? The prices are weirder? Half the ingredients are a mystery.....the kid running up to the bar isn't a mystery at all though, fortunately, and after a surprised look, the uchigatana....well, he doesn't say anything, but.]

Perhaps they want some sort of physical representation of a childhood?

[Don't let Mabel know that. Before he'll even know it, she will do all those things he feared the most. But as she stared at him with anticipation, she couldn't wait to see what pun or joke he might throw her way!

That and maybe a smile will crack! Because he just had to crack, he's just gotta!]


Oh, oh, I know! The beach said water you waiting for to the tide!

[A moment of silence, please, for his wounded pride.

Not for the first or last time, he mourns Byakugan along with it. And, really, the pause isn't just the Hyuga trying to haul his thoughts away from the neverending why me; he's trying very hard to not

just kill the guy. Stupid, he knows, but literally everything around him was stupid, so what would stop him? The sand castle falling on everyone else around them, probably. It doesn't help things when Neji schools his expression into something a little more dignified (meaning, absolutely blank) and he turns to face the other and the bastard is grinning.

And calling him... things??

Welp, can't say he didn't try. Neji only gets to do about half of the necessary hand signs before

oh look, there's a Chuya-sized hole that's opened up in the sand under the guy, and Neji didn't even have to resort to using ninjutsu. Neji's surprised, sure, but he can't say he isn't pleased.

Your move, worm.]

[She waits for an agonizingly long minute or two for the bubble to settle before carefully untangling limbs and scoots away as much as she can, breathing a sigh of relief. It's a process that goes much easier when they're both not flailing about]

There. See? Now-- [Yuri spares him only a glance before decidedly looking away to examine their bubble prison instead.] What in the world is this...? A bubble?

[She frowns and prods at the sides, the movement of the ocean causing the bubble to sway and her to slide a little] THis is going to get really annoying really fast.

...Huh?

( She tilts her head in confusion as she offers a hand to help Lissa out of her hole. She stares, trying to identify what is so awful about the swimsuit.. )

What's wrong with it? It looks good on you.

( Soleil wonders if falling to the ground is Lissa's default reaction to problems. She must be even more delicate than Soleil thought. )
