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!

[... "weird"? He's not sure what she's referring to there. A weird thing to say? Weird words? Who knows. It's impossible to tell with non-humans...

Not that that's a bad thing. Simply that they think about things differently, and he's aware enough of that.]


...Indeed. [Liars... liars, like the Yamainu's minister of the right, needed to receive their just desserts in the end.]

If they are lying, we will find out, and they will have to answer to us all for it.

[...]

And for their incompetent actions thus far.

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-23 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Should I carry it somewhere off the street at least?

[He's not sure what the protocol for this is... will it wake up again if he moves it? Or is it really broken? Honestly technology is still so far beyond him-

But what isn't beyond him is Hinata's name. There's undoubtedly a look of recognition.]


Ah, nice to meet you, Hinata-kun. You can tell me Tenka - Ten-nii or Aniki work too. [There are too many ways to address him back home.] But... then you're from Japan?

[Though he does tilt his head and add in an amused tone-]

If a rather different Japan from what I know.
sunshrouded: (☀ wow wtf my beer tab is 80 dollars)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-23 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . ]

Me...chanic...?

[It's a foreign word and that much is obvious from how it experimentally rolls off his tongue. Though now he feels the need to clarify-]

So then there isn't a person in here?
deontology: (VIII.)

[personal profile] deontology 2014-10-23 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Orders are orders, and if anyone understands that, it's Sousei. (And if anyone understands the necessity to not follow bad orders, it's also Sousei.)]

You should not underestimate me.

[...]

I would also rather not cause you permanent harm.
sunshrouded: (☀ wow wtf my beer tab is 80 dollars)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-23 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . Jeeze. Tenka is getting so tired of this place and its weird customs already - though he can't deny being fascinated by it too.

So for now he sighs and nudges the fallen robot with his foot.]


None of it makes any sense to me at all. This place is just crazy...
sunshrouded: (☀ okay but why)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-23 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Us"? [Tenka takes a step back at that, actually turning to look at Cynbel, openly befuddled.] Who's "us"?

[Are they also those pieces of extracted data or whatever? Is no one in this town a normal person who naturally was born and raised here?

Why is the future so weird?]
deontology: (V.)

[personal profile] deontology 2014-10-23 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[That's Sousei's lot in life. Looking out for everyone who's crazy or a loser... ah well.

Sousei's response comes promptly, flatly.]


Meiji 11. [...] 1878.

[So yeah, pretty far back there...and that response doesn't really...explain much. Square things. Food or drinks.

...food or drinks?? From a square??

...What.]


... I see. [no actually not at all.]
sunshrouded: (☀ i just walked into the party)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-23 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Sir"....?

[The address openly confuses him. Sure, he's a shrine head and his family is well-established and he's wearing his family crest on his back - but no one ever really addresses him that formally. So he's shaking his head in the next second.]

Wait, wait. Let's get this squared away first before we talk about technology-infecting viruses. [Even though it sounds like he picked up on that rather easily.]

I'm Tenka, head of the Kumou family of Shiga. But just call me Tenka, okay?

[Priorities.]

As for any other crimes that I've supposedly committed... I can't say anything about 'em, seeing as I don't fully understand what I did in the first place.
deontology: (XIV.)

[personal profile] deontology 2014-10-23 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
[It's too late, Kaoru. It's too late.

The sad thing is, they'd probably get along with all of these similar opinions, except for the whole "mountain of corpses plan" thing.

Nonetheless, he can tell that this conversation is going to go nowhere. This delicate maiden (?) is clearly too interested in not sharing any strong opinions. Sousei's not sure yet if it's purposeful or not, but for a moment, he just looks at Kaoru, expression as flat as ever, but...

...Hm. Well. Not having opinions is not a crime.]


...Perhaps. [It's a non-measure, as far as he's concerned, but arguing that is pointless.] It may serve you well to do so.

[Or it may not.... It probably wouldn't, but... well, that's what Sousei is for.]

Regardless, I shall now excuse myself. [He has to go save people, etc etc.]
sunshrouded: (☀  lemme think about that)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-23 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow super intimidating. Except Tenka's not backing off an inch-

. . . except at the questioning and the broken speech, he's already softening. He's breaking his indignation for a teaching moment-]


More like you're not ladylike at all. Very crude.
sunshrouded: (☀ but i regret nothing)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-23 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Say what you want about me but I've never been wanted for a crime before.

[Mostly because even when reports are filed on him, the policemen just realize it's Tenka and shake their head and walk away. But anyway, never been wanted. Spotless record.

. . . but okay. He's agreeing to that easily enough, folding his arms as he nods.]


You have a destination in mind?

[He was just kind of wandering aimlessly and making sure no one was in too much trouble when he stumbled across Sousei....]
flaredo: (Don't know don't care)

[personal profile] flaredo 2014-10-23 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Not unless they're made out of metal. Does that happen to people where you're from?
flaredo: (Just call me Slip'N Slide)

[personal profile] flaredo 2014-10-23 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ She'll skid into a landing, glancing over her shoulder. ]

Here we go, all safe!
mermaiding: (That even lovers drown.)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2014-10-23 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
[She puffs her cheeks out with a huff.] What mean? Am female, is that not enough? Bah, humans!

[Oona throws her hands up in exaggerated exasperation] Never happy with what is just there! Too many rules! [She's jumping to some conclusions here, but she seems to deflate somewhat with her fleeting annoyance.]

Need to be more quiet. They will notice. [Is she warning him or herself though......]
flaredo: (They're not even paying us for this!)

[personal profile] flaredo 2014-10-23 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's part of how I fight. As far as I--

... Wait, "too"?

[personal profile] souredsweet 2014-10-23 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Sometimes murder is the only option when it comes to fixing up the biggest problems of the world, Sousei!!

Good lord, though. Kaoru can only be grateful that he's excusing himself first, since it would only look suspicious if "ah yes I will talk at length about nothing with this stranger" was swiftly followed by ollying out without any pressing places to go or people to see. The flat expression is met with a polite look, placid and tepid as most of Kaoru's expressions tend to be.]


I'll certainly keep an eye out, then. [And... keep at a distance. Observant people. Kaoru's reminded vaguely of waving down Okita in the streets that second time and the look he had given then.

But with that all said and done, Sousei is given a gentle nod of parting.]


Good luck, in that case. I believe that you may have an easier time finding the people that you may be looking for if you stay near the residential district for the time being. [THE SINGLE, LONELY HELPFUL PIECE OF ADVICE that Kaoru will give ever. Godspeed, captain...]

[personal profile] virginous 2014-10-23 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Well hopefully we won't have to put any of it into consideration.

[ Blonde and busty? Check. Idiot? Check.

Yeah this is Five 2.0. ]


Considering what they've told us I don't think any of us will be catching fire anytime soon unless it's by our own hands.

[ . . . heh. Tenka smiles at the logic at work there. Well, it wouldn't be the first time that he was sentenced to death without a trial but he's not planning on just taking it. So he's just nodding.]

You'd think. I'm not too worried since I know at least myself and one other person can defend ourselves and other people but... well, can't say that's the same for everyone else who has a target on their back. [He sighs wistfully.] I should probably start walking to find them, now that I think about it.

[Though it's still hard for him to pass up a learning opportunity-]

A little store...? So like a market stall that doesn't require a person to manage trade and watch their wares? [Yeah, he's even more archaic than a 'store'.] Wow... That sounds really convenient.
deontology: (XVII.)

[personal profile] deontology 2014-10-23 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[You're free for now, Kaoru. You're free and safe and don't have to worry about a thing...until they meet again, yep.

Sousei simply nods in response, once and shortly, and then turns away. It's useful advice. He appreciates it, in a way. And for now, he'll put Kaoru out of his mind, because there are more important things to deal with, even as he strides away.

Bye, Kaoru. Next meeting might not go so smoothly, whoops.]
sunshrouded: (☀ but i regret nothing)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-23 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
I guess guns really aren't suited for assassination...

[Though honestly as he's landing another hit on the robot and causing it to stumble back a bit, he's taking the opportunity to look over his shoulder to where the new spectator is standing.

Then he's just going to shake his head, because honestly-]


Stay where you are. I've got it taken care of. You don't need to put yourself at risk for my sake.
deontology: (I.)

[personal profile] deontology 2014-10-23 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
... Only because the townspeople coddle you.

[He knows. Just because he's not around doesn't mean he doesn't know how this goes.

... ... ... but you know.

He's going to just start striding off as he does, expecting Tenka to come along.]


There are a few pictures that clearly show people who will not be able to take care of themselves. [It should be obvious what he intends to do from that.]
souredsweet: jackandtink (lol this dying shit)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2014-10-23 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Tragically, not the name or the place ring familiar for Kaoru. Shiga is still Omi and life is confusing and whY IS NO ONE FROM THE SAME TIME PERIOD. Or rather, no one that Kaoru could actually talk to. Shinsengumi...

The change in address is enough of a distraction, though, and while Shiga isn't familiar, Kaoru can at least tell that it's likely in the same country. Easy enough so far, then!]


...Just Tenka? [It's echoed back questioningly, because the thought of addressing a family head just by given name alone seems a little bizarre - far too close, especially for a stranger. WHAT'S WITH THIS OVERLY-FRIENDLY GUY good lord...]

I apologize; may I ask where Shiga is? [At least by now Kaoru's used to weirdass location issues... But with that all squared away:]

It seems as though most if not all of the listed crimes have been falsified. Yours was... involving the mannequins, correct? [Giving him The Sad Eyes Of Pity.] I don't believe that anyone else will take CERES at its word for this in particular, so you shouldn't have to worry about your reputation preemptively being besmirched.

[personal profile] cursemarked 2014-10-23 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
I don't have a sword anyhow. [Which she means by way of explanation here. If she had a sword maybe she could help more, but she's got...a camera.... oops.

She feels a tad awkward being unable to help though and shifts her weight, resting one hand on her hip.
] Still, I can't leave you here alone now that I've seen you. [This is what she gets for having feelings. It's really bothersome.]

If you get the chance to run, I can get you somewhere safe, at least.
sunshrouded: (☀ just sat at a stop sign for 10 minutes)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-23 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
C'mon - they won't stop even if I tell them to take it easy.

[They're that kind of people. .... and honestly he already misses him. There's no hiding the simultaneous fondness and ache in his voice. Ah, what he'd give to just be in Shiga.

Instead he's here.

Though at the explanation, Tenka's nodding easily enough.]


Fair.

[Of course he understands and of course he's coming along. Though... he can't help his exhaustion.

For now, he fails to meet Sousei stride for stride. He walks a few steps behind him, keeping an even pace. Of course he doesn't like the image of Sousei's back - he never wants to fall behind. Except...

Except his fingers clench around the cloth of his sleeve even as he keeps his head up.

This old body's giving out on him already.]
sunshrouded: (☀ THAT PROOF MEANS NOTHING)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-23 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Does what happen? Do they get made out of steel....?

Is that even possible?!

[no.]
