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!


sunshrouded: (☀ but what makes you say that)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-10-23 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Alright, the way that this is piecing together for him is that... she's not human, she possess the mindset of a child, and she seems to think she's older than him while at the same time not even speaking as well as Chuutarou.

. . .

Aniki tendencies activated.

So he's deflating almost entirely then.]


Fine, fine. Neither of us want trouble.

But yeah. Humans are weird. What're you then, if not human?
mermaiding: (Reclining on the bosom)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2014-10-23 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
[She tosses her hair and looks very proud.] Am mermaid, of course. [As if it should be obvious.] Live deep under water, very deep. Almost no light, very cold. Lived-- Ah... Close to Japan, I think? Do not know land locations well.

[Oona gives hi ma look too, because she knows exactly what kind of question would (usually) come next] Do not have tail anymore. Stolen. Humans are greedy. [She looks almost accusing when she says that, even though Tenka obviously isn't the one who took it in the first place, but still.]
sunshrouded: (☀ our party was the most epic party)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-11-09 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
... Humans are greedy. [He'll agree with that, especially with his look softening even further when he heard that she'd lost her tail. Yeah. Being unable to walk and then being experimented on... It sounds familiar.] You're right. M'sorry about that.

[But honestly.... he's taking the news of her being a mermaid surprisingly in stride. Suppose that's what happens when you've got the cells of another monster coursing through your system.]

Are you doing okay now though?

[It sounds like she'd gone from the frying pan straight to the fire if she was brought here.]
mermaiding: (I disdain all glittering gold)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2014-11-09 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[She looks honestly surprised, both that he admitted it and that he apologized. She looks so thrown off balance she nearly sits down right there to cope with the way her world spun out for a moment.]

You... What? [Oona splutters a moment as she realizes she's totally lost any arrogant grandstanding she'd been trying to hold onto, her face turning red as she tries to salvage this.] You were not... You do not argue? [She looks wary, like this might be a trap, but the question of how she's doing again catches her off guard.

Sheesh, you'd think no one had a kind word for her before. She looks baffled and then flustered
] Of course, am fine! They say world destroyed. Who cares? No more humans. Does not matter. [She crosses her arms over her chest and looks away with a huff.]
sunshrouded: (☀ these keywords got lazier)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-11-09 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . it's familiar, honestly. Someone who's been treated cruelly looking at him as if he might betray them as well at any given moment. But it just makes him soften even more, giving her a gentle smile in response to her cautious look.]

Nope, I don't argue. I think you're right. Humans can be very greedy. But I think they can be a lot of other things too.

[ . . . and as she goes on, his face just falls a bit more.]

... Are you sure? I think I'd be sad if the world was destroyed. Even if there's no more humans, doesn't that mean there's no more ocean? No more water? Blue skies? I'm sure there were things you liked too. And it's okay to be sad that they're gone.
mermaiding: Seriously, commission them they're amazing. (from me his absence mourn)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2014-11-09 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Like boring. And loud. And annoying.

[She stubbornly chooses to cling to those bad things, despite the fact she's met quite a few humans that have been more-or-less nice to her here. Hate was a powerful, paralyzing sort of thing.

His comment about the ocean and sky being gone makes her flinch, hugging herself tighter as she draws her shoulders up defensively.
] Is... better this way. Maybe. [But she's always prided herself on not lying, and that feels enough like a lie to make her uneasy.]

They say they can bring it back, rebuild. Family most likely did not know what had happened to me, went on-- eh... [Oona struggles with finding the right words for a moment] Coming of age? Journey. Will not go back after this. Better they do not know. But-- If can bring them back... [Despite her bravado she misses them terribly and her shoulders slump] Make better world. No humans to ruin it.
sunshrouded: (☀ i'll be there in 5 min)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-11-09 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, all those things! [And he laughs a bit.] ... They can be funny too, though. Warm. Gentle. If you meet the right ones. It's okay to be careful with your heart. If anything, you should protect that part of you the most.

[So he doesn't blame her hatred. But he also doesn't want to see it consume her. He doesn't even know the poor girl's name, but he doesn't want to see her suffer.

The amended statement gets him to nod in agreement though.]


.... I don't know what happened to my family either. They were in my old world too. But I think that if I were to rebuild the world, I'd like to make it just the way that it was. Because if the world wasn't as it was, I'm afraid that my family might end up changing too. And I wouldn't want them to change at all.

We could be different there, though. But if you need help rebuilding your world, helping your family - I want to help you, if you'd let me.
mermaiding: (and plunging down)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2014-11-09 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Have not met-- [But that's a lie too. She scowls and changes course, speaking with a little more difficulty] Have met very few good humans.

[That's where she thinks Tenka is wrong-- after all, her family was from the deep, deep sea, with no human interactions. There were stories, yes, warnings of the dangers when traveling the open ocean.

Later, when she thinks back over this conversation, she'll remember the story of how her grandparents met thanks to human involvement and think on the uncomfortable implications of a world with no humans. But for now she just sneers before huffing as she draws herself up.

She's a tiny thing at 5'3'' (and a half, thankyouverymuch), but she lifts her chin and regards him with narrowed eyes.
]

Why? Why care? Why bother? Am nothing to you and can offer nothing.
sunshrouded: (☀ secret keeping is my hobby)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-11-09 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Even when she amends her statement, he doesn't seem to judge her for it. There's no arrogance or self-satisfaction, just a slight smile of endeared amusement.]

Well, then I think those few very good humans are important. I'm glad you met them.

[Though now at the mention of why he cares... he just blinks before he shrugs.]

I'm not asking you to offer me anything. I just think that family's the most important thing in the world. If I can help you get back to them or give them a good life, then I will. If you don't trust me, that's alright. But if you ever need help, I'm offering it.
mermaiding: (They're all so happy and smiling)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2014-11-09 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Family's the most important thing in the world. Oona's posture relaxes and she squints, as if trying to see if he's lying or not.]

Very mermaid-like thing to stay. [There's some reluctant approval there and she drops her hands to her hips, sighing deeply. Families were everything to her people, hence why they stayed or joined family clans or started their own. Mermaids on their own were rare.

She thinks of her brothers and sisters, the ones she left behind and the new ones that might have been born in her captivity; it made her heart ache uncomfortably and after a moment she makes a loud noise.
] Bah! Told you, humans annoying! Poking nose where it does not belong! Do what you want. Can not stop you.

[Oona looks at him, trying to keep her feigned annoyance.] Did not even introduce yourself. Rude.
sunshrouded: (☀ hahaha whoops)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-11-09 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Certainly, Tenka's told a few lies. He's also kept more than his fair share of secrets. But in this moment, there's no lie or hesitation in his eyes. There's absolutely nothing that he wouldn't do for his brothers and as a result, there is nothing in the world that could be more important to him than family.]

Glad you approve then.

[Because his brothers are his entire world.

Still though, when she makes a loud noise he's just laughing good-naturedly in response.]


If you say so then! But I didn't figure that knowing my name would make a difference. I'm Kumou Tenka - but you can call me Ten-nii or Aniki, if you want.
mermaiding: (and I have left my parents)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2014-11-09 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Is rude to not give names.

[Of course, that means she has to give her name now too.] Oona. Just call me that. Ani...ki?

[Weird name. She shakes her head and runs a hand through her hair with an air of resignation. So she's saddled with another weird human. Great.]

Spent too much time talking. Will be targeted soon-- they are looking for new arrivals. Keep head down, do not be so stupid and yell at screens.
sunshrouded: (☀ i just walked into the party)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2014-11-09 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
Well it's not like I was purposefully hiding my name from you. [So hopefully that excuses the rudeness. Either way, he just nods and grins.] Oona-chan, then. Nice to meet'cha.

[Still though he doesn't sound too bothered. Then he just chuckles and grins.]

Don't worry too much about me. I'll manage, I'm sure. Though I guess that probably means you shouldn't hang around me right now if you want to avoid trouble.
mermaiding: (he home will safe return.)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2014-11-10 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[She almost corrects him--Oona, not Oona-chan what even is that--before she just gives up before she even gets started. Not even time or care.

But he's right at that, the last thing she wants is to get caught up in this craziness, especially since Oona's not a target to begin with. She still looks surprisingly reluctant as she steps back though.
]

...Make good point. Will leave. [She pauses, looking like she wants to say more; at length she scowls, looking angry that he's making her feel feelings how dare he, and snaps at him] Do not get killed! Do not be stupid! Had this entire conversation, only for you to die? Would be angry! So do not!

[YEAH TAKE THAT. And with that said, Oona runs off, huffy]
