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!

[ . . . ]

Robot?

[And then he remembers the ones he fought earlier and then he blinks slowly.]

They put one of those deadly things in this weird suit?! Why?

[more important questions]
sunshrouded: (☀ okay but why)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-21 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[THAT SOUNDS SO BAD

And Tenka's honestly really concerned now, face turning serious as he moves to press his ear against where the chest.... of the dinosaur suit is....]


Sorry, I don't even know you but can you get a doctor?
sunshrouded: (☀ but i regret nothing)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-21 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . okay. And despite everything, Tenka actually looks pretty serious about that information. Clearly this kid knows a lot more than he does and that's something that he appreciates. The fact that he can still manage to get information is nice. So he nods.

Then he looks back at the weird fallen robot and shakes his head.]


I didn't mean to hurt it but at least it wasn't human. [The important part of all of this.]

[Then he's turning back to Hinata and giving a smile.] Thanks for filling me in, kid. What's your name?
mermaiding: (Pressed her body to his body)

Not far, not far! We can lose it!

[She grabs for Rin's hand so he won't totally miss the sudden sharp turn she takes, zigzagging through alleys seemingly at random before she slows after a minute. She pulls at him to follow her through the doors and up the elevators, hardly sparing him a glance or a word until she's fairly sure it's safe.]

Lost for now, maybe. Tch... Putting neck on line for a stupid human-- [Grumble grumble.] Apartment down here. Can hide for little bit, but then leave. Do not want to be responsible for you.

[After a moment Oona continues, a tad embarrassed in her attempt to be reassuring] Eh, sure will get cleared up. Virus here before you arrive, so, can not blame you. Will be alright. Will correct their stupidity.
sunshrouded: (☀ my signature was forged??)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-21 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Does this happen often?

[Though when she.... recoils like that... he can't help but be a little surprised. What, does he smell?]

... and was it really that bad? What did I do?
sunshrouded: (☀ o shit lemme call u back)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-21 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Hey! You're in just as much trouble as I am if those pictures are anything to go by!

[Just saying.

. . . . and then he's blinking as he's realizing that ah yes, Sousei did sort of answer his question there. He's not supposed to go anywhere? Well... it's not like he really has much direction at the moment without his brothers.

So his shoulders rise and fall in an easy-going shrug in response to that.]


But I guess there are worse fates than still being alive and hanging out with you, even if I can't think of any right now. [He's joking, really. Sousei's a familiar face and Tenka... could honestly use more of those. Without even Hirari accompanying him, he was starting to feel the loneliness start to settle in.]

As for how I am still alive... [ . . . he smiles a little ruefully.] It's kind of a long story.
mermaiding: (There is nothing can console me)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2014-10-21 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Strange girl. [But she doesn't look displeased by that revelation.] Hiding not for fun, for survival. Want to survive, yes?

[But she gestures for Yang to follow her anyhow.]
cursemarked: (❁you can do what you want to)

Phase II

[personal profile] cursemarked 2014-10-21 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Rei didn't sleep most nights anyhow, so being up wasn't the strange thing. Actually being out of her apartment, though... Well, she needed another notebook; the other was already too full of her notes and scribbles and 2am was probably a good time to avoid running into people, right?

Maybe on another night. Rei'd had half a mind to scurry back to her apartment, but alas, having a conscience won out and she'd decided to at least attempt at helping. Not that this guy seemed like he needed it.

Despite everything she's seen it still makes her stop and stare.
] It's... I suppose a gun would be too loud...? [She makes an attempt at answering, but really she's still a little distracted by he dent in the robot what the fuck are his fists made of steel.]

Do you need help?

[It could be an act, but Kaoru isn't really getting any fakey-fake bullshitter vibes from this guy, so hearing that alone more or less says "HELLO I AM BRAND SPANKING NEW TO THIS WEIRD FUTURE CITY". Each batch of newcomers seems to have to deal with more CEO-based incompetency (or maliciousness, maybe?) than the last...]

You don't need to thank me, sir. I'm afraid that it's one of a very small number of things that I can actually explain. [But the worry seems to be ebbing away from Kaoru's expression, replaced instead by something that spans between sympathy and curiosity. ...And maybe a tiny bit of amusement, which manifests itself in the words that follow:]

But the virus isn't an illness that we can catch. I believe that you're being blamed for creating one that infects technology instead of people... Ah, in addition to your other supposed crimes. [The ones that are significantly more embarrassing than being a Master Hacker...]
unjustify: juuzawa (sounds like a plan)

[personal profile] unjustify 2014-10-21 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
[He seems to seriously be considering that...]

...Maybe! It'd be a pretty flashy entrance.
unjustify: mewtube (roid out)

[personal profile] unjustify 2014-10-21 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
[That actually gets a grin from Naoi, since he's quite appreciative of people who look at a bad fate and refuse to succumb immediately.]

Good! Good, good! That's the kind of attitude that might take you places. [...They might not be good places, but hey! It's better than standing stagnant, probably.

At the question, Naoi shakes his head.]
Nope, that's all you guys. We had a barbeque for our welcome. The explanation was the same, but it seems like things have been getting harder and harder for each new group of arrivals. If their luck continues to go down the drain like this, the next group is going to end up dead right away. [Which is partially a joke and partially a legitimate concern...] Anyway, I think it's an accident, probably. They seem to be having a lot of them lately, though this is the first potentially fatal one I've seen.

[Unfortunate for these twelve... He'll eventually slow to a walking pace once it becomes obvious that the assassinbot won't be following, and he gestures out toward the edge of the city, where the high-rise apartment complex can easily be seen.]

That's where you'll be staying until you can find a better way to leave. There are some other houses around the area too, but they're pretty pricey.
flaredo: (Of course I don't start fights)

[personal profile] flaredo 2014-10-21 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah, but there's no saying you can't have fun surviving.

[ And she'll jog after Oona. ]
flaredo: (Annie are you okay--)

[personal profile] flaredo 2014-10-21 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
And painful! If it comes to the point where I'm considering myself lucky just for this, I'm gonna have to wonder.
flaredo: (Annie are you okay--)

[personal profile] flaredo 2014-10-21 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't worry too much about a doctor.

[ And she raps her knuckles against the suit for a dull clang. ]

Maybe a mechanic?
flaredo: (Kanyeshrug.jpg)

[personal profile] flaredo 2014-10-21 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure they're done. [ And she'll wave a hand dismissively. ]

And if they're not, I'll take them down if they come at me again!

[Edgeworth is hardly fazed by the sight of the rapier. If anything, he's intrigued. They were lighter weapons compared to what he was used to, but nonetheless had their advantages.

This other man had his weapon out and it didn't quite fit in with the setting (maybe), so...was he yet another newcomer? Only one way to find out for sure.]


Are you new here, as well?
nostatus: (someone has to win)

[personal profile] nostatus 2014-10-21 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you seriously saying money's more important than your health? Hey, if you got sick badly enough, you could die! [ Hi, I'm from the 1860s and what is modern medicine... ]

I mean, not that I'm sayin' that money wouldn't be great.. just think about how much good food you could buy with it!

[ #priorities ]
eversmiling: (your mom recommended smoking)

[personal profile] eversmiling 2014-10-21 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's okay, Soujirou isn't actually concerned either, clearly... Actually, he seems quite cheerful about the prospect, because Yang's attitude actually reminds him of some of the Juppongatana. ]

That's fair, in that case! One day we'll have a good fight, I promise.

[ He taps a foot against the ground idly, then shrugs ]

There's that game too, but but that really isn't as fun.
particularity: (m ✣ more than anything else)

[personal profile] particularity 2014-10-21 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[HE'S HANGING ON his arms gripping tight around her.]

Porcupine is longer...! [It's a protest that gets caught up in the wind as they plummet...]
insincerely: ᴍᴀɴɢᴀ. (oh do you think i care)

[personal profile] insincerely 2014-10-21 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[If he's infuriating, then he's doing things right.]

What makes you think I would know any more than you do?

[He nods.]

That charming story about world destruction?
insincerely: ᴍᴀɴɢᴀ. (i have several christmas dates lined up)

[personal profile] insincerely 2014-10-21 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my, you hit it on the spot. [Weird, creepy music probably sums up his magic songs.] Lots of experience with my type?
insincerely: ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ. (do you want to punch this face yet)

[personal profile] insincerely 2014-10-21 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[... He's starting to get the feeling that he's either going to get along great with this guy or horribly.]

This is sounding more and more tempting by the moment. You really are full of ideas, aren't you?
insincerely: ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ. (do you want to punch this face yet)

[personal profile] insincerely 2014-10-21 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what breaks are for, aren't they? Time to recuperate.

[...]

Is someone here living off of instant noodles?
insincerely: ᴍᴀɴɢᴀ. (you're so cute.)

[personal profile] insincerely 2014-10-21 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Gosh, haven't you heard of sharing??]

I wasn't aware you owned this roof, ma'am.
insincerely: ᴍᴀɴɢᴀ. (oh do you think i care)

[personal profile] insincerely 2014-10-21 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a rather unexpected means of income, isn't it? But as someone who already has a job, wouldn't you have gotten fired for that?

[Not that Shinnosuke cares about ~responsibility~, but, you know. Curious about what his plan would be after that.]
