//event003.EXE 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 [ 0001 ] 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.

//RUN.EXE 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!

[unpresidential]

[anime trash, all of you...!! or something. nam soon's an idiot anyway.]

I'll... remember that. [little does yang know that he's actually extremely well-versed in punching the crap out of things. or, well, people. not really robots.] Better if we don't have to do that, though.

[flaredo]

[ Pray Yang never finds out or she might recruit him as a sparring buddy. ]

But just think of what could come next! Maybe rabid furry things...

[unpresidential]

[it's not a secret he plans on letting anyone really in on if he doesn't have to. he left that life behind, okay.]

Wouldn't surprise me. Sounds weird enough to be something that would happen around here.

[flaredo]

I'm okay with weird. Maybe a little less okay with murderously weird, but hey.

[unpresidential]

Not like we have a choice what kind of weird it is. [much to his chagrin, seriously.]

[flaredo]

Nope! All we can really do is be sorta maybe prepared for whatever kind of weird comes next.

[unpresidential]

And you know how to do that. [somehow, he's skeptical of this. but most people are probably more well-equipped for that than nam soon.]

[flaredo]

I know how to try!

[ How comforting. ]

[unpresidential]

...I don't think that's really the same thing.

[flaredo]

Well, let's try this. Whenever the next weird thing comes, you stay awake for it and I'll let you know how it goes.

[unpresidential]

Maybe. [he shrugs, clearly not interested enough to agree to that. if he's tired, he's going to sleep... that's just the way of actual sloth-in-human form go nam soon.]

I'm not going to stay away just for something weird. I still have to get up and go to work.

[flaredo]

... You're not much of a thrill-seeker, are you?

[unpresidential]

No. [not anymore, at least. but again, he'd rather just let everyone believe he's always been a lazy oversleeper.

most of the time. for all that he says that, though? he has a knack for getting into trouble.] Just wanna do what I gotta do and get all this over with.

[flaredo]

If you look at it like that, there's no way you'll have fun!

[unpresidential]

I'm not looking for fun... [he's looking to get back to seoul and his life! besides, his idea of fun is mostly just reading manga and eating ramen with heung soo.

controlled fun. with a lot of naps inbetween.]

[flaredo]

Then what are you looking for?

[unpresidential]

A way to get things back the way they should, I guess. [he shrugs. sorry yang, he's not exactly interested in getting into the details of his life stories and struggles with a stranger. even people he knows barely know shit about him.

awkward and terrible at people: the go nam soon story]

[flaredo]

[ Don't worry. Yang will probably make it a priority to harass him on a next-to-daily basis now. ]

Then we're on the same page! I'm just more fun.

... Still, having someone else aim for the same thing isn't bad.

[unpresidential]

I think most are like that. Wanting to just get back, I mean. [most of the people he's met, at least.] Being here... it's annoying.

[flaredo]

Can you blame them? If you get killer robots, anyone would want to leave! Mostly anyone.

[unpresidential]

...Even before that. People don't want to be taken from their homes and lives. [robots or not...]

[flaredo]

That too... and I can't believe we're the only ones they 'rescued'.

[unpresidential]

[that's the part he has the hardest time believing. there are so many people in the world worth saving — world leaders, people who do charity things, people who can make a difference. so why two stupid punk kids who can barely even stay in school?]

It's weird. Only a few people from each place... doesn't look like they have any reasons for who they saved, either. [maybe it's good that it's nondiscriminatory or something, but it just feels off to him. he guesses it's no different than who can be saved when a ship sinks, but there's something nam soon just can't quite put his finger on.]

[flaredo]

Exactly. [ It's also what bothers her the most. ] They bring me and my sister, but they just leave the other half of our team? Our teachers? Our families? Seriously, why?

[unpresidential]

I know. It's the same... for us too, I mean. ["us" is really more like "heung soo," since aside from a passing fondness for a couple of teachers and classmates, he has nobody else. but heung soo lost his sister in this mess, and that's unforgivable.]
