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 [ 200 ]
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 [ 700 ]
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 [ 1200 ]
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 [ whyo'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.

phase iv since i did promise!!!
But just when he passes through the park, he spots the girl on the swing. Usually he wouldn't pay many second thoughts to it, but he hasn't seen many kids here - and especially not ones that fit a description that's lingered in the back of his mind. That weird guy who had been looking for a young girl with blonde pigtails..
... huh.
(Not to mention that she looks so sad and lost, but like he's going to admit consciously that it's one of the reasons to approach her too, please.)
Abandoning the packages for a moment, he walks closer to her, staring down at her (with his 350 bench pressing eyebrows) for a moment like he's trying to figure out what to say. ]
.. Are you lost?
no subject
his eyebrows are also way more intense. you've got competition, oppa.]
I'm not lost. [she's giving heung soo a bit of an incredulous look as she shakes her head. she may be an rpg character, but it's still just weird how many people are asking her if she lost or talking to her in general. this didn't happen to her much before.] I'm just thinking.
[she's four foot, three inches of attitude.]
no subject
Then again, this just is what some kids are like these days, huh.. it's why he just thinks it's a defensive mechanism to keep her from having to tell a stranger she's lost.
Doesn't mean he can't still let out a small sigh though. ]
Someone was looking for you before.
no subject
You mean Ludger, right? [she says it kind of knowing, and wholly unsurprised. probably because she knows where ludger is right now... and maybe because she wants to just assume the big, kinda scary isn't talking about the assassin monster robots.]
no subject
Yeah. The guy with the weird hair. [ THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT, HEUNG SOO.. but then again, he's pretty much blunt as hell. At least he's not going for "the guys with the swords" for now. ]
You must've already met him if you're not surprised. That's good, I guess. He seemed pretty worried.
no subject
still though, hearing from a stranger that ludger was worried about her doesn't give elle very much reason to be happy. sure, in some way, it's nice that despite everything that's happened, he still does these things and treats her like he always has...
it's still burdensome.]
Yeah... [she's definitely a bit more downcast as she says that.] He found me before, when it was still dark out.
no subject
But that way she seems more downcast.. "when it was still dark out", huh. He's more or less caught onto what happened by now, and to think even a little girl like this was involved with that.. geez. CERES sure is looking more and more incompetent between throwing his best friend into a temporary coma and now terrorizing little kids.
For a moment Heung Soo is quiet, but then he fishes something out of his jacket's pocket and holds it out to her - it's a few wrapped pieces of candy. ]
I got some of these earlier. [ She doesn't have to know it was from some grandma-y.. thing.. (he's never sure if something is a robot or person here) that probably didn't have very good glasses if she thought he was young enough to get those kind of rewards for his job... this is already embarrassing enough in itself. ] You want some?
1/2
in any case, the offer makes heung soo seem a little less intimidating. despite the sass, she can't really deny that he does have kind of a scary look to him, even if she's seen and dealt with a whole lot worse.
there's a moment where elle's eyes light up with a brief twinge of excitement — what kid wouldn't be at that sort of prospect? sweets are a good way to cheer up a bit, after all...
no subject
[she totally wants it, but the child is too aware for her own good sometimes.]
no subject
Still, he can't help but let out a small sigh. ]
Yah, is there something weird about me? Does my face look like a dinosaur's? [ At least it's not as harsh as his tone can totally be, since he's at least socially aware enough to realise he can't exaclty pull off his usual attitude towards kids when he's trying to get them to trust him enough to tkae the candy.
Which is why he nudges it a little more in her direction. ]
If you don't take them, I'll have to feed them to my friend and he'll make fun of me. So help me out. [ Half.. joking... but half serious too since of course that bastard would make fun of him for getting candy from old lady robots. ]
no subject
[it's a strangely earnest question, but she can't say his face looks like a dinosaur's when she's never actually seen one before. granted, there are other things she would compare heung soo to... like the a href="http://i.imgur.com/gR7SF92.png">ice golems of xailen woods. she won't out loud, though. especially not as he continues on.
she doesn't really quite get it, of course. there really shouldn't be much wrong with giving stuff to your friends, right? granted, she doesn't know nam soon or how special that friendship is on all counts. so elle will just tilt her head.] That sounds kinda weird too. Can't your friend just feed them to himself if you give it to him? You sound like you keep weird company, mister.
no subject
But when she has to put that last part like that.. well, he can't let out an actual near-amused small sound at that statement, if not just because a little kid is inadvertedly calling Nam Soon weird.. it's some private amusement. ]
Yeah, I do. [ At least he'll admit their friendship is a little.. special... ] Don't worry though, you'll probably never meet him. He sleeps all day.
[ There's a small moment where his eyes fall back on the candy, but then he continues on. ] And dinosaurs are..
[ .. how to explain this. He doesn't even know what her world is like, but it can't be normal like his own, judging by the way Ludger was walking around with those swords.. better keep it simple. ]
.. they're like really big scary animals that don't exist anymore. A little like monsters.
god why didn't you tell me i borked the html like a failure!!
in any case, she's definitely tilting her head with a bit of confusion at his description of nam soon. from what she's getting... nobody around here sounds very normal at all. a guy who needs to be fed his candy and sleeps all day? what a weirdo. not that she can say much, elle doesn't exactly keep the most normal company either...
how many eight year olds are friends with a shady businessman, a reporter, a well known scientist and a king? probably not very many at all.
in any case, she'll reluctantly take the candy, though she doesn't seem to be in any rush to actually open it and eat it. that's polite enough, right? she's a kid with few social graces when it comes to this kind of stuff, so she shrugs it off easily.]
Like monsters, huh. [elle's taking a moment to consider this. she looks at heung soo, tilting her head.
and then it hits her.] I know! You kinda look like a golem...
[oops.]
maybe i wanted to see how long it'd be before you would cry about it!!
Especially since there's a bigger problem right now. He was just more or less joking about the dinosaur thing since he knows how his face and his usual facial expression is generally received, but... a golem...
A golem............ ]
You know that's not really a compliment, right. [ Flatly. ]
why are you so cruel to me jelle... why...
[and it's kind of true. but...] I guess you're still better looking than a golem, even if you have that scary kind of face.
this is the only way i know how to express love
So he'll just accept it the way it is for now, pulling his now-empty hand back to pull it through his hair a little. ]
You don't seem too scared. [ Of his "scary kind of face", that is... ]
wae.... stop with this painful love!!
[heung soo, do you really want her answer to this? do you?] I've seen way scarier. Even the real golems are a lot scarier than you, mister.
[...that may be a compliment. kinda. maybe.]
would you rather not have my love at all...!!!
At least it means she might find this place a little less weird, but if that's so much of a good thing with how dangerous it can be.. ]
That's the first time I've heard that.
[ Mostly since no one compares him to golems. Actually, that's the full reason. ]
Although I'd already be fine with people not confusing me for a golem. [ He's actually more serious about it than he presents it.. if not just because if that would happen anywhere, it would happen here. Freaking Cerealia. ]
no... i always want jelle's love...!
[...sorry, heung soo. elle's not going to help at all. but hey, this is distracting her from her terrible life. maybe it's at the expense of heung soo, but... oops.
at least she's not breaking his legs or anything, right?] Golems are way taller, and their arms are huge! Like... built in shields or something!
uwah... here it is..!! opens arms
Well. [ There's a small moment, as if he's wondering if he has to clarify this, but then he does go on to say it after a breath. ] I'm human. It'd be weird if I had built in shields.
[ You never know what these anime types could be used to.. golems, apparently, in this case. ]
.. thanks for the reassurement, though. [ Although it's very said in an "I guess" kind of way, as if he doesn't really mean it.. but the last thing he wants this ending up in is being harassed by a little kid in a more whiny way.
That's Young Do's job.]uwaaahhh jelle loves...!! jumps in
[what else would he even be? oh wait, she knows...]
I mean, unless you're like some kind of superhero in disguise or something? That would be pretty cool, but kind of a bad job covering it up. It's okay though, I wouldn't tell anyone your secret anyway.
[elle....]
no subject
[ Maybe he says it a little quickly, but he wants to get this rumor out of the world before it's even really born in the world to begin with.. especially considering how young Elle is, who knows if she won't just believe it and tell everyone that.
And the last thing he wants is for a rumor that stupid to end up biting him in the ass. ]
I'm just a regular human, like you're saying.
[ He glances back at her. She looks normal enough.. a little anime, sure, but nothing too bad. She could just pass for a western girl if he didn't know about Ludger's world not exactly being normal, judging by the swords. ]
.. and you? [ Just.. making sure here.. although granted, with how young she looks she could just make something up, huh. ]
no subject
[that example would probably be more helpful if he knew what she was talking about. but elle doesn't really seem to care if heung soo's not terrible familiar with one of her favorite shows. he should just be grateful she doesn't think he's like any member of the flotillion. it's one sentai canon that doesn't exist in heung soo's world.]
Anyway, I'm just a human too. Nothing special here! [well, nothing special that would discount her as a human, at least. but elle's not really thinking about it that way anyway.]
no subject
Still, Heung Soo can't help but feel a little glad she's doing well despite being a little kid stuck in a place like this. He's too much of a mother hen to not be at least slightly concerned by those sort of things, although he'd never admit it out loud. ]
The Conchaider, huh. [ There might actually be something vaguely amused in his tone.. don't tell anyone, Elle, it's a secret!! ] Is he at least a cool guy?
[ Not that Heung Soo necessarily thinks he himself is a cool guy, but. Well. Still. ]
no subject
[at least he's on the right track. even if elle's from a world with monsters and crazy spirits and dimensional rifts, conchaider is still just a tv show villain.
from her favorite show.]
He's the boss of the Water Breakers, and they're... affil...iates... of the Flotillion! And since the Flotillion's boss has an evil genius leading them, I bet you can guess that he's pretty evil. I mean, he is helping in the big plan to made rule the seafood industry by using fish-paste products from the dead fish and all. [the actual synopsis of what they do, honestly.] It's probably cooler to be an evil genius, though.
