What new and wonderful and exciting ViViD level awaits you today? What fun time will you have in ViViD this time? Surely it will be a work of art that CERES has been working on for months and months --

Actually, wait, CERES isn't even around, are they?

Uh oh.


Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzt.

Error: Files Not Found

//SCENARIOS.EXE


PHASE I

[ ??:?? ] This time, ViViD is a deathtrap.

There is random magma everywhere, monsters will spawn at random, and at some points, the game is entirely unplayable. It’s like the dev team totally disappeared mid-constructing the level.

Oh wait, that’s exactly what happened.

Monsters may spawn on top of you, you may suddenly be standing in a poisonous bog, you may suddenly lose your powers, or your senses, or so many different things --

It’s time to get out of here, ASAP.

Thankfully, the exit is obvious. Like. Blindingly obvious. It’s got a big sign over it that says EXIT

And just like that, you’ll be out of ViViD and --

PHASE II

[ 08:30 ] When you wake up (and it’s strange, because you were sure that you were logging out just a second ago), it’s in a pile of bodies.

They’re cold, but not in the same sense that a dead body would be cold. While they are lifeless and look incredibly real, they don’t feel real. They feel like dolls, mannequins, empty models and nothing more. Their code doesn’t seem to be functioning right.

And what some characters may realize upon looking at this pile of bodies is that they are all of the characters who were sacrifices before. Any character that was dropped who had a high magical or spiritual affinity is there in that pile of bodies, lifeless and eyes blank and vacant. Even you might be there, staring at your own dead body -- but it isn’t real It can be touched, but it’s really nothing more than a lifeless body.

You’ll have to crawl out of that pile of bodies to get anywhere, and then you’ll realize -- you’re in the Sanctuary, a building built by the characters as a safe place from CERES. And it’s looking pretty run-down at this point. The technology in it no longer functions, there is no security on it whatsoever…

Oh, and now there’s a pile of bodies. Great.

PHASE III

[ 10:00 ] There’s also a robot.

It’s wandering from place to place, though it’s impossible to follow. One second it’s there, the next it’s just gone.

Also, it’s wearing this. Weird.

But even with that on its face, the robot seems focused on one thing in particular. In fact, it has a sign, and it says:

Down with CERES. Up with Robots.

That’s a happy, cheerful message. If you try to go up to it to talk to it, it will look at you before...bonking you on the head with the sign and running off. That’s incredibly rude.

Alternatively, you may be safe and sound in your home, but then the doorbell rings, and there’s the robot again. The duck mask is gone, but now instead it has a pin on his fake lapel, and then he’s shoving a pamphlet at you.

He tips his hat, and then he’s gone. Weird.

(Also, if you hold onto the pamphlet, it will lead you directly to the person whose picture is on it, and you’ll feel like you’ve known them and have loved them for years.)

PHASE IV

[ 12:45 ] But not all is fun and games and shenanigans. There is something...well, strange happening, and the first real realization of that will be when it starts to rain. More than just the localized rain that a few unfortunates have dealt with -- no, it’s raining completely and totally, and that’s when it might hit you.

For the first time in Cerealia, there’s weather.

It’ll rain for a few hours, and then it’ll stop and become hot and sunny. It may get humid, considering it’s a jungle planet. At night, it’ll get rather cold.

Seems like whatever was keeping Cerealia’s atmosphere stable is now gone -- which also means that characters may start to occasionally experience headaches, nausea and dizziness if they go too close to the walls. It seems safer in the center of the city, and the Residential District is still okay, but… there’s no doubt that the planet’s atmosphere is starting to encroach on the city.

BONUS

[ why o'clock ] But who cares about all of that? More importantly, you are here in this… totally not shoddy city to have fun, and it’s still being advertised as a pleasure colony. Or, well, it would be if, you know, CERES was still around.

But close enough.

And as a pleasure colony, it would figure that the first robots to really get fixed are...well, the Pleasure District robots. Unfortunately, the Pleasure District is still a nice big mess, so now they’re wandering the entire colony, looking for people they can hug, massage or...try to drag into more explicit activities.

Welcome to Cerealia!

[its not that he's unhappy to see you Oona its just, well. he hadn't planned to get wet in this manner today.

So with water dripping into his eyes he'll give her a deadpan stare before kicking up a nice arc of water and mud back at her.]


I'll get you wet, it'll be my pleasure.
mermaiding: (sunny skies above)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2016-09-15 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Eek! [She squeals in a mix of delight and alarm, throwing her arms up to ward off mud from getting onto her face]

Ahh, so mean, so mean! Will get you back, you know! [She bends slightly and waves her hands, dragging water from other puddle to the one she's already standing in to make it larger.

But her own motions distract her and she suddenly looks excited
] If it rains enough, could we make pool in the street, do you think?
sayonaradumbass: (why is this shit)

[personal profile] sayonaradumbass 2016-09-15 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[he's startled with awe for a second or two, he didn't know mermaids could do that-- but then again it makes sense. Whooping, he continues his assault]

That's called flooding and its a pain in the ass for engines. I sure hope not.
mermaiding: (I'm glaring holes through the sea)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2016-09-17 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Who needs engines? Just swim!

[She laughs and gives up splashing now to go for a tackle instead-- though it's less an attack and more just throwing her arms around his neck with a laugh of delight.]

Truce, truce! That is what you say to stop a fight, yes? Truce! Parsley! [She means 'parley' but okay oona]
sayonaradumbass: (bedroom eyes)

[personal profile] sayonaradumbass 2016-09-18 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
I don't wanna swim! My clothes are gonna get fucked! D'you know how much I paid for this?!

[as pissed as he is that he cant become a true salmon in this salmon pink he spins her around anyway, snickering]

Kale! Cilantro!
mermaiding: (I'm glaring holes through the sea)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2016-09-19 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
Than just take them off! Who needs clothes!? [She laughs even more and presses a spontaneous kiss to his cheek]

Stupid! What are you saying? You are being so silly! [As if she wasn't being silly herself!! Her laughter settles a little into a content noise, giving him a little squeeze]

I am glad not so many things have changed.
sayonaradumbass: (huehuehue)

[personal profile] sayonaradumbass 2016-09-20 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
[he feels his pulse skyrocket oh no a kiss from a beautiful mermaid ahhhh]

Whoopie! Dreams do come true....ah maaaaan~

[spin spin spin]

Yup, this place is still a shithole. But if cuties like you are here then it ain't so bad.
mermaiding: (parting waves in this heat)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2016-09-22 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
If CERES is gone, put me in charge! I am very simply ruler.

My first order will be no clothes. They are so annoying! [OONA FOR PRESIDENT.]

But, seriously-- How are you? And stop spinning, am getting too dizzy!
sayonaradumbass: (at least you arent shocked)

[personal profile] sayonaradumbass 2016-09-23 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
No clothes? You get my vote if it'll mean all the girls are buck ass naked!

[seriously his dreams are coming true]

I'm fine, fine, fine-- you know, this place is a shithole. [he does stop spinning in case she pukes] What about you? You were missing, right?
mermaiding: (My name it is Maria)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2016-09-25 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yayy! Have one vote! How many do you need to be considered ruler? Even if nothing else, want to wear crown at least. Can wear nothing but jewelry, yes?

[At his question she makes a small 'ah' noise and lets him go when the spinning stops.] Am... fine. Suppose. Was gone and saw my world again, and now am back. I... did not like being home, truthfully.
sayonaradumbass: (Default)

[personal profile] sayonaradumbass 2016-09-26 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty sure you need more than half. Nothing but-- [a gulp; she's going to kill him] That would be awesome, very regal....

[she wasn't happy to be home? Well...his home was fucked up thanks to Tetsuo and all that shit, so he can't blame her.]

How come?
mermaiding: (Like they're wanting to get in my way)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2016-09-26 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Don't worry, she's down with being oogled and fantasied about and all that jazz. She looks smugly pleased, but his question makes her hesitate and the smile slips away.]

Ah, well... I have no one back home. Was on the run, could not turn to mermaid form--I did not have tail or scale anymore-- so, could not go home. Do not know the land or anyone in it... [She makes an 'etc' gesture.]

Either way, I do not have future, here or there. But here at least I know people. Have made friends. I do not like idea of going back and losing that.
sayonaradumbass: (cliffs edge)

[personal profile] sayonaradumbass 2016-09-26 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[man, that's got to be tough. He knows enough people, even with the world going to shit. Home is anywhere he makes of it, anywhere he feels like. His own smile softening, he gently cups her chin with his hand.]

Hey, y'know. As shitty as it is being stuck here, it'll be alright. And back home, well-- home is whereever you are. Gotta do what you gotta do, y'know? Well thats how I see it.
