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.

no subject
[okay, so maybe it's more of an annoyance than anything resembling exciting. he's not really disagreeing about the inefficiency either. souji... souji please. maybe he's just a little bored for his own good and the wild goose chase for robots sounds like a pretty good way to kill time.]
I guess we'll just have to look for the others that they seem to be seeking out. That'll probably lead us right to them in a hurry.
no subject
He just can't help it.]
... "Exciting" should not be our first concern. [HOW BORED ARE YOU, SOUJI...]
Though I suppose it will be exciting enough soon. [Once they hunt down and murder those robots. Because he's simply nodding in response to that suggestion, starting off at a brisk pace. Back towards where he started, and then onwards from there--it's doubtful everyone else got too far in that brief amount of time.]
no subject
[all the similarities to saitou are not going to go unnoticed. you can't just bear that sort of resemblance to his best friend and expect him not to point it out. ...not that he's terribly forthcoming about who he means specifically, but that can come up if it's questioned. in any case, he's giving a nod of agreement as he keeps pace with sousei's walking.]
From the looks of it we'll have a long night ahead. Getting to do something other than patrol the area doesn't sound so bad, though.
no subject
He's not used to reminding people of someone else. That comment is strange enough that he ends up arching an eyebrow despite himself, tilting his head slightly. What...?]
... Is that so. [But he won't question it further, since there are more important things to worry about.]
There will be time for rest later, once our opponents have been defeated.
no subject
[since he's definitely wide awake and on top of his game. it's probably not too bad to have okita souji as his best on your side when you've got assassins after you. and of course, he doesn't seem the least bit worried or concerned about it. he's totally ready to go off and patrol the streets with the same calm that lead him to sousei in the first place.]
no subject
Relying on this stranger, captain of the Shinsengumi and all? He's not sure lucky is the word he would choose. And honestly, he's blunt enough to say--]
That remains to be seen.
[Buzzkill.]
Alone, they are not too dangerous. [for swordsmen of their caliber, at least.] Multiple targets may be troublesome, however. [So...it might be for the better to have someone to watch his back, yes.]
no subject
[though really, he mostly thinks that sousei needs a better sense of humor. chances are he's going to just be teasing and agitating the way he does to saitou... the two of them are way too much alike for him to not do that.]
no subject
Alas. Hm.]
That seems likely. Then for now, it would be smarter to watch each other's backs.
[He just has a lot of trouble depending on people he doesn't know he can trust. Or. In general, really.]
no subject
[it comes with being a shinsengumi captain, after all. hell, it's almost not even that different than doing it with saitou, if only because they carry themselves so similarly. fortunately, souji himself is an expert and a professional; he can adjust his style as needed to accommodate who he's working with.
not that he always does, but there's probably not point in messing around right now. at a time like this, it'd take away the fun.]
no subject
...It wouldn't be, as a captain of the Shinsengumi, no.
[He knows. And he knows Souji is ridiculously skilled, so that's good too--it's just his own struggle with depending on people he doesn't much know that's at work here. Which...is going to stay internal, because he's hardly going to deny Souji's assistance.
...He supposes elaborating couldn't hurt.]
It has only been a few years. Your exploits are well known.
no subject
[he won't be shy about it; it was made clear to him the very day he'd been taken from kyoto that he was somehow a legend in japan... despite how much he can recall being hated by the people he had to surround himself with whenever he left shinsengumi headquarters.]
You learn a lot once you leave your own time. Who knows? You may find out a lot you didn't know was even possible while you're here.
no subject
...Hm. It's curious, though.]
I am certain I will. [He's already learning a lot, after all.] Though so long as this future [a future where Japan is gone, whether or not he believes their lies (which he doesn't] does not come to pass, I believe I shall adapt.
no subject
[he doesn't believe their lies about the worlds specifically, but as crazy as the technology seems to him, there are plenty of others who were relatively comfortable or familiar with many of the amenities—some of those people being japanese or other countries he was familiar with.]
no subject
...Change is not bad in and of itself.
[His Japan is a Japan in the midst of some crazy change, but he can't say he's defending his country if he dismisses the country it's starting to become.]
Though this future in particular is not one I would like to see. A tyrannical force like this does not deserve to be in power.
no subject
[since they seem to only really exist like this in these jamjar worlds!!! of course, that's based only one what he knows.] But I don't think the strange technology is all that far off. It's pretty common in other times, from what I hear.
no subject
I wouldn't say I understand it well enough yet to pass judgement.
[Also he's still just boring about these things.]
no subject
[because that's just how it works, regardless.]
no subject
...Is that so.
[He doesn't doubt it, though. Souji sounds too certain for that.] ...Then I will adapt to it.
no subject
[he shrugs. it's better to just accept these things anyway... trying to argue or fight it is an effort in futility, after all.]
no subject
[still, having Souji's acknowledgement isn't a bad thing by any means. At the very least, maybe he'll learn something while he's here.
That would at least make this entire foray worthwhile in some way, rather than just a big waste of time.
and then what he learned was that souji is a vampire]
