//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!

[flaredo]

I'm giving you a choice this time, at least!

[particularity]

[Which of these is more dignified... neither, honestly... but if he has to choose... He'll heave a sigh.] Then, a piggyback?

[flaredo]

Got it! [ and she'll crouch a little, beckoning. ] Hop on, Porcupine!

[ Yang, no. ]

1/2

[particularity]

All right, I'm--

i lied 2/3

[particularity]

[You know

Hinata would think that, by now, he would stop being surprised by things.

For all intents and purposes he should've stopped being surprised by things long ago.

And yet--]

[particularity]

"Porcupine"...

Are you calling me that...?

[is it his spike]

[flaredo]

Yeah. It's cute, isn't it?

[particularity]

I'm not sure if "cute" is the first word I'd use...

[But apparently she thinks its cute...?? Wait no is that going to stick?!]

[flaredo]

It'll work for now. Hop aboard!

[particularity]

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.]

[flaredo]

Hinata, right-- I guess that's about the same amount of mouthful!

[ And off she leaps. Hang on, Hinata. ]

[particularity]

[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...]

[flaredo]

Also cuter!

[ And she doesn't aim at anything, only fires off a quick shot to propel her, spinning into a twirl-- well, she'll land soon. ]

[particularity]

Matter of opinion-- urgh--

[He has a feeling that if he were Souda, here's about where he'd be getting intensely motion sick. But, since he is not Souda, he just hangs onto her tighter.]

[flaredo]

[ She'll skid into a landing, glancing over her shoulder. ]

Here we go, all safe!

[particularity]

Th-- anks. [Hinata will totter his way onto his own feet, sighing a bit. BETTER than being carried about like a sack of potatoes, that's for sure.]

Now we've got to get that robot.

[flaredo]

You can run, right?

[ Because if she has to sling him over her shoulder again-- ]

[particularity]

I can run! Let's hurry and catch up with it.

[He'll kick off the ground and indeed he can run with his silly run--but, no, he can actually go fairly fast.]

[flaredo]

[ That's good enough. She'll break into a sprint, and once she catches sight of the robot, she's speeding up. ]

I'll cut it off!!

[particularity]

Got it! Be careful!

[A quick warning, as the robot rapidly comes into sight-- Hinata watches Yang outpace him before he shifts his grip on his weapon.]

[flaredo]

[ Yang affords him a nod, before she blocks the robot's path, using one bullet to knock it back towards Hinata. She doesn't have to get up close and personal, really. ]

[particularity]

[Hinata twists the spear around in his hand. He sees the robot knocked back, toward him, and his eyes scan that body rapidly approaching--

There.

With a twist of his hand, he pushes the end of the spear forward, so it punctures through the place where metal joins at a shoulder. Sparks crackle from the spot as Hinata twists the spear, putting his weight behind it until--with a crack, a angry spit of wires and electricity--one arm breaks from the robot. Hinata flips his spear, catching at trailing wires and hauling until they snap or they're pulled out bodily.]

[flaredo]

[ And Yang will let out a low whistle. ]

Wow. I didn't know you had it in you!

[particularity]

Be impressed later, this thing's still got fight left in it!

[Speaking of, Hinata lurches back out of range as the android whips about, pulling its katana with its remaining arm.]

[flaredo]

Good! I like 'em feisty!

[ And Yang's charging in now, going for a skid to knock the android off its feet. Before it can shoot upright again, one flaming fist is plunging into its chest.

Someone doesn't hold back. ]
