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.

But he'll find it insanely easy to pull Kaoru along, since there isn't exactly a whole lot of person to tug around here. Keeping pace seems to be a little difficult, as Kaoru occasionally stumbles and doesn't even bother answering the yelling back. It's 100% because of breathlessness due to this INTENSE EXERTION and not at all because there's no inclination present to actually respond to what was said...
Once they pull up in the alley, Kaoru raises one hand, shoulders rising and falling in the same sort of air-hungry gesture of effort that Elliot shows. Muted and a little more collected, but similar regardless.]
It— should be fine, I believe... The only things that I've seen pursue people are the ones with swords. [Which are distinctly a larger threat, as far as Kaoru is concerned!! Being strangled is just a poor side-effect of something with a little too much enthusiasm for public displays of affection.]
But staying here... I would advise against it, too.
no subject
Since the Miranda warning apparently doesn't apply (not that it'd make much of a difference when it comes to executioners without the emotional capacity for remorse or human empathy), he whips his head back up to gauge the spanning coast with a near-feverish anxiety, the bite of exertion obstinately stuck between both ribs. It's only after a good seven minutes pass that he relents to shouldering his weight against a wall, momentarily closing his eyes with the movement. ]
... Okay. But I think we should still be on guard, just in case.
[ Finally sated with a few more wild gulps of air, he appraises
his fellow conspiratorthe hapless bystander with an expression grazing mild sheepishness. ] Do you have any idea where we should go, then?no subject
And then the waiting starts and stretches on, because Kaoru is certainly not going to interrupt the moments of silence that this boy clearly needs. One can say "it's fine, it's fine" until they turn blue in the face and it still wouldn't be enough reassurance to some, so Elliot will have to garner that reassurance on his own. Once the seven minutes have passed, Kaoru's posture relaxes just a little - it's a minute change, more for comfort than anything.]
You aren't wrong. [About keeping guard, that is. The hugbot may not be interested in pursuit, but the murderdroids sure are.
A soft smile is offered for the question, though.] Away from the most crowded areas, but not so far out that you would make an easy target... [After a second of thought:] There's a cafe in town with a reading nook away from the storefront, by the fireplace. I don't think any of those creatures would look for you there.
no subject
Of course it wasn't wrong. [ SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE DUNCE.
Elliot pulls off the knotted travesty passing for a kerchief from his neck, disentangling it in two fluid strokes, wadding it into his left pocket. He'd retie it, but Nightray left that duty to Leo out of reverent esteem for his valet and not because he doesn't know how to handle himself without the help of a legal guardian/live-in babysitter, thank you very much — !
Kaoru will get one (1) flickering gaze of disbelief, however, for the mention of reading nook. She couldn't possibly know what an insufferable dork he was when it came to books from the complacent grin pulling up at the corners of his mouth. No doubt about it. ]
Oh. If it isn't too bothersome for you, I wouldn't mind if you lead the way.
no subject
But saintly patience, that's not incorrect!! And so Kaoru will shoulder Elliot's... Elliot-like behavior. The self-assuredness is a little surprising; bold people are few and far between. The reaction to the reading nook is also unexpected, considering there are generally more important things to be worrying about and that tends to consume thoughts so quickly that the little pleasures in life are left behind.
If Elliot wants to go to the reading nook, though, Kaoru's more than happy to lead the way.]
It isn't a very large distance from here. Please stay behind me, then... [Since of the two of them, Kaoru is the one who knows the alleys better! Which will show very quickly since there's no hesitation between saying that and setting off, like the location of the shop from any direction has been memorized.]
