Welcome to the CERES! You are now under arrest!


Did you think the glitches were over? Boy, were you wrong! Through the last remnants of the digital kerfluffle, the latest batch of recovered code has manifested in CERES' computer systems as the guilty parties. Yes, that's right, all incoming arrivals are now placed on the wanted list, accused of having committed the heinous crime of creating and releasing the gorg0n virus all over Cerealia. These vicious twelve have been working together all along and conspiring against CERES, and it's now up to everyone to figure out if the new arrivals are truly guilty or if they are as innocent and confused as they claim.

In the meantime, CERES has dispatched assassination droids to stop the accused and bring them to justice via disembowelment. So while CERES rushes to stop the droids from committing murder, characters are perfectly welcome to a.) soil themselves b.) fight off the droids c.) run while soiling themselves or d.) cry a lot. e.) ask for assistance!

"ASSASSINATION MODE: ONLINE
OBJECTIVE: ELIMINATE THE ACCUSED
TIMEFRAME: 24:00 HOURS




JUDICIAL UNIT-00345 DISPATCHED"

//SCENARIOS.EXE
PHASE I
[ 00:01 ] It's a minute passed midnight, and the newest sets of recovered code are being spat out of ViViD and into Cerealia. Before the joyful reunions begin, an announcement starts blaring through everyone's computer screen, TV sets, devices, billboard screens, and so on. The image flashes with twelve names and twelve pictures along with a list of crimes each person has committed. They continue to flash again and again throughout the colony, alerting everyone of these heinous criminals. It's up to anyone if they want to engage them or stay far, far away from these perverts and miscreants.

As the arrivals begin to explore, they will see themselves plastered on just about every screen imaginable.
PHASE II
[ 2:00 ] It's still dark outside, hardly anyone out and about. It's the perfect time for an assassination attempt because that's when the information is received and processed by Cerealia's judicial system, but this isn't a job for any ordinary donut-eating cop. No, this is far greater than that. They bring out the big guns.

Twelve assassination droids, clad in armor and carrying katana, are immediately dispatched and sent to take out each of the accused at any cost. Characters are welcome to do any of the above choices while veterans to Cerealia can assist the arrivals, assist the droids, or just sit back and watch others suffer. It's completely up to you. They can also run into the droids on their search and try to interact with them.
PHASE III
[ 7:00 ] Your friendly CEO has finally gotten his ass out of bed, but by then, who knows how many people are left alive? After hearing of the kerfluffle, he decides to issue a cease and desist on the assassination droids, and instead, has his investigation units step in to confirm that the new arrivals are not guilty of any of the crimes and charges listed under their name. They will be pulled aside for painful, painful questioning before being released to explore as they wish.

To make up for all the damages and trauma incurred from the near-death attempts, Julius will also be giving the new arrivals a settlement of 20,000 credits each, so go out and party.
PHASE IV
[ 12:00 ] By noon, the incident has been cleared up with little to no blood spilled (hopefully). New arrivals are welcome to explore and enjoy their new living arrangements or possibly lie in bed and just cry some more. Either way, welcome to the magic that is Cerealia. The CEO will announce that the last of the virus has been officially cleaned up and taken care of, and he'll be issuing a video with a public apology for all.

BONUS
[ why:o'clock ] Among the police droids dispatched, there will be a rehabilitative droid in a dinosaur suit, looking to cure the criminals of their improper behavior and their moral indiscretions through the power of LOVE and HUGS. It was developed after the researchers in CERES did extensive research on other worlds and found that this mystical creature was capable of creating worldwide joy and cheer. It will be chasing those who are on the Wanted List exclusively, but it will not stop at just them. Your character will be accosted and hugged whether they like it or not.

Welcome to CEREALIA's latest intro post. For your convenience, we have compiled a post detailing everyone's arrival experience and a FAQ that should explain everything in more detail. Please read them thoroughly before playing. Thank you!

I'm not letting you take one down for me! Are you kidding me? What if the one after me is even worse than that one?

[ He's not sure if there are different types or models designed for the people they're chasing, but he doesn't want to take his chances. He can't let anyone get hurt on his account, and he'd feel better if he could at least help in some way by doing something more than just throw whatever he finds in the street in its path to slow it down. ]

How'd you even punch out the first one? Your hands are barely covered!

[ He'd have believed it more if she had steel gauntlets or something. The fact that she did that with her hands nearly bare is a little ...intense. He must be stuck in some crazy dream. ]

[ The robot's arms slowly release him because clearly someone shouting that they're badly in need of a hug is a priority for this thing. Rin's grateful the instant he can move around and breathe again, though he also kind of feels bad this guy is taking a metaphorical hug-bullet for him and that the dinosaur is moving with impressive speed, arms spread out, its face a reflection of pure robotic joy as it aims for a tender embrace.

But true to his own promise, Rin's not going to abandon him when he's about to be attacked. Instead, he springs forward to tackle the robot from behind before it can complete its hug objective, bringing it down to the floor harder than he himself would like. He then starts trying to avidly unscrew its head, hoping there really isn't some guy underneath all of this. ]


Alright- give me a hand with this thing! We're going to take it down one way or another! I'm not letting it escape to hug more people! You got something to hit it with?

[ Rin takes the coat and holds it out in front of himself, unsure how this really helps the shoe problem. Maybe he can tie some cloth to his feet? He's mostly trying to avoid a terrible case of tetanus. Either way, he's still not inclined to believe everything about this place even if it feels very real. A dream would have ended long ago by now, but he's still wading through whatever the hell all of this, trying to figure it all out and trying not to let the fear cripple him from going forward.

He's sure he can find a way out if he just studies things rationally and tries to put them all together as best as he can. He also needs to figure out how he even got here to begin with and where in the universe they currently are ... if they're even in the same universe.

Damn it... this all so weird and confusing right now, but he shrugs on the coat over his shoulders for the time being and starts following her. ]


Ah, thanks.

[ And that gratitude is short-lived as he hears the comment about his teeth, clenching them together in annoyance and wondering what's so weird about them. No one's ever brought them up before, and he's practically had them since he was a kid. ]

-hah? What do you mean 'what's going on with them'? They're my teeth. Same ones I've always had. I'm hardly the least normal thing in this place.

[ He found at least two or three people up on those billboards that look plenty weirder and have done way worse things. Allegedly. ]
particularity: (f ✣ give me more of a reason)

[personal profile] particularity 2014-10-21 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
You know, my name's Hinata?

[But his voice is feeble and here he goes... to let this girl piggyback him. This is actually more embarrassing, he realises belatedly.]
claspers: claspers @ dw (《 ★ i'm killing every second 》)

[personal profile] claspers 2014-10-21 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...well, that's one way of taking care of it. Rin can't promise he's not a little freaked out at the moment as the arms loosen around him and as the face of the dinosaur melts right off. It's absolutely terrifying, and he's pretty sure that it'll be the star of his nightmares for the next couple of weeks.

He doesn't let it imprint itself further into his thoughts as he jerks back and enjoys sweet, sweet freedom and movement. When he can finally speak normally, his voice is still a bit hoarse and practically shoved out of his throat in a fit of shock. ]


-what the hell was that?!

[ His eyes scan the newcomer, wondering where his weapon went... if he had one to begin with. His hands look free. ]

How'd you-... I don't see a gun anywhere.
claspers: claspers @ dw (《 ★ selective memory 》)

[personal profile] claspers 2014-10-21 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
H-huh?? What do you-

[ What kind of question is that? Ideally, he'd like to come home, but he can't tell if she means his own or hers. Does it even matter at this point? He pretty much wants to be away from the homicidal robot. That's all he cares about, so he just shakes his head and goes with the first thing that pops into his head. ]

-home! Just take me to whichever home you're planning on! I don't care right now!

[ He's pretty sure most establishments around aren't even open at the moment except for the ones that are flashing 24-hours signs, but those don't look particularly safe or free of questionable characters. He'll take his chances heading to wherever she lives first, running as fast as he can.

The fact that he can hear it moving keeps him on edge, and he can feel his heart pounding, unwilling to let it catch up to him or to let the girl be injured. ]


How much further? It's gaining!
claspers: claspers @ dw (《 ★ fever where'd your run to 》)

[personal profile] claspers 2014-10-21 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ Those are the last words Rin wants to hear, and they already feel like daggers being shoved into his ears, unwilling to accept that this all is the end right here. He's supposed to live here alone until he can figure out a way to help them put everything back together. That's what they want, isn't it? To use all those recovered bits of code to reconstruct all those worlds that were supposedly destroyed. It makes Rin wonder how and why he survived out of everyone.

He still doesn't want to believe it. Call it stubbornness or hope, but he knows his friends and his family are still somewhere he can reach. He doesn't care what he has to do or how hard he has to look, unwilling to accept despair without trying for himself. ]


I'm not believing it until I've exhausted every possibility. Even then, I have to get back somehow. I'm not just going to stay here and grow old in this place and miss out on my future.

[ A job, an apartment, and all the credits CERES has to offer aren't going to make it all 'okay,' but he does want a place to sleep and settle down in after all that running. ]

I take it the explanation's the same for everyone. Did they send they send this messed up welcome committee after you, too? Why try and kill us after asking us for help?

[ Something's definitely 'off' about the whole situation, and it doesn't make him any more inclined to trust CERES or any of their intentions at the moment. ]
flaredo: (It's goin' down)

[personal profile] flaredo 2014-10-21 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
These-- [ and she'll hold out her hands for further inspection, the gauntlets shifting and clanking to further extend over her hands. ] They give me a little more 'oomph'. And I've dealt with worse, honestly. If you're that worried, you can help me distract it.
flaredo: (Sure are a lot of tumbleweeds today)

[personal profile] flaredo 2014-10-21 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
"Too", huh... yeah, I am. Not professionally, yet, but it's something.
flaredo: (Fly through the air)

[personal profile] flaredo 2014-10-21 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Hinata, right-- I guess that's about the same amount of mouthful!

[ And off she leaps. Hang on, Hinata. ]
flaredo: (Kanyeshrug.jpg)

[personal profile] flaredo 2014-10-21 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
I'm okay with weird. Maybe a little less okay with murderously weird, but hey.
eversmiling: (I love video game physics bugs)

[personal profile] eversmiling 2014-10-21 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
It happens a lot, actually! When I'm a bit more prepared for a fight, I'll put on a new pair, but these sorts of sandals don't work well off tatami or other smooth kinds of floors...

[ He shrugs again. ]

But they're what I'm used to! Maybe one day I can really fight you! But you have to be okay with dying.
flaredo: (Oh you oh my)

[personal profile] flaredo 2014-10-21 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
I'm okay with fighting for my life and not knowing what'll happen next, so good enough! I won't hold back either.

[ She should probably be more concerned. But nope. ]
sunshrouded: (☀ TAKE PITY ON ME)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-21 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks, but are you-

[ . . . and then he notices that she's still... floating.]

.... Is gravity broken?!
sunshrouded: (☀ my signature was forged??)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-21 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Super out of character. I don't even understand what I'm accused of and most of the time, I'll own up to anything that I've done.

[Probably.

Though now he's tilting his head in response to the question and blinking.]


Really? What do they do?

[Besides... vend... things....]
sunshrouded: (☀ why did i make a hit list last night)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-21 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
How am I supposed to know?!

[We're off to a good start.

Though honestly, Tenka's sighing in relief that he didn't hit this poor guy who's just walking around. For a second, he does notice that the garb at least looks familiar and Japanese, but more importantly, he's going to approach the fallen dinosaur thing and nudge it with his metal fan.]


Is it.... okay....?

[It's not moving.]
sunshrouded: (☀ i know what i'd prefer)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-21 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
But what's a mannequin?!

[damn, he knows how to prioritize]
sunshrouded: (☀ fuck anything in the morning)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-21 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[There's not really any need be at the moment, Tenka looks like he's got things handled for now. On top of the dent he left on the robot, he's not really ashamed to just raise his sandaled foot and give it a firm kick to knock it off its feet. Then he's opening his fan again and giving it a look of distaste.]

Yeah, but aren't firearms the way of the future or something? I'm not volunteering to get filled with bullets or anything, but it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

[ . . . ]

Though I guess a lot of this in general doesn't make sense to me.

[Like why is the thing he's fighting made out of metal? How does it move? He's questioning all of this but more importantly trying to defend his life.

Though so far it doesn't look like he's done anything to permanently damage the robot either. Softie.]
sunshrouded: (☀ wow wtf my beer tab is 80 dollars)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-21 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Who said I was even talking to you?! Nosey! Eavesdropper!!

[Wow, look at this display of maturity here.]

What a crude lady.
sunshrouded: (☀ you kept trying to highlight my face)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-21 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Tenka turns to the voice and... blinks once.

Because wow, pretty.

Then he seems to regain his wits and shakes his head.]


I haven't been sick lately, so I don't think so? [That's the kind of virus she means, right. Cold virus? Flu virus? Either way, Tenka definitely hasn't had anything that can be considered contagious.] I really don't know much about anything here.

Though finally hearing knowing what a vending machine is was the first bit of help I've gotten here. Thanks.
sunshrouded: (☀ this is a mass text)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-21 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
For the effect? They'd get in trouble with the government for the sake of effect?!

[Not that he knows anything about that, no, definitely not. (Except he totally does.)

Though honestly then Tenka's ducking the next swing of the katana with practiced movements, having fought against them many a time before and easily deflecting the next blow before knocking the robot off its feet.

. . . and then he pauses, thoughtfully considering.]


Though I guess this isn't the government that I know...
unluckless: (there's a picture opposite me)

[personal profile] unluckless 2014-10-21 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Mm! The fact that they're coming at you with violence without even having a trial, that seems awfully suspicious to me. If you and the others are really guilty of those crimes, don't they want to make sure it's clearly demonstrated?"

[Apparently not though. Just killer robots. This place. Komaeda is definitely not a fan of the robots in this place at all.

But hey. Vending machines.]


All sorts of things, depending on what sort. They're stocked with different products, and you just insert money and it dispenses whatever the product it has that you chose. It's like a little store that's always open. They have them for food or small items, necessities. [Sometimes odder things. Let's gloss straight past that.]
unluckless: (0993)

[personal profile] unluckless 2014-10-21 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
I think that's a good order of priorities. Otherwise you might not get very far.

So... [he begins again, cheerfully enough.] Are you certain they're finished trying for now?

They might start again. A few things have gone wrong here like that even since I showed up.
sunshrouded: (☀ hahaha whoops)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-21 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
[But Mitsuru, what's a dinosaur.

Still though, his shoulders slump with obvious relief at that.]


Why would I pick a fight with a perfectly innocent girl? [Not to mention a pretty one, but that's something he'll keep to himself for the time being.] I'm just glad you're okay. Didn't mean to cause a scare.

[Even if her attempt at humor fell flat with his... lack of knowledge... he still seems to be all too willing to loosen up. Though he does glance over at the fallen robot now and nudges it lightly with his foot.]

Not so sure if this guy's gonna get up any time soon though. He freaked me out!
mermaiding: (laughed)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2014-10-21 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Can not not eavesdrop when you are yelling!

[She draws herself up to her oh-so intimidating height of 5'3'' (and a half, thankyouverymuch), looking a little offended.]

Respect elders! Maybe be crude, but would rather be so than stupid! [She pauses, hesitates, and looks a bit put off.] Is crude meaning 'rude'...? [Words are not her strong point.]
