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.

would you rather not have my love at all...!!!
At least it means she might find this place a little less weird, but if that's so much of a good thing with how dangerous it can be.. ]
That's the first time I've heard that.
[ Mostly since no one compares him to golems. Actually, that's the full reason. ]
Although I'd already be fine with people not confusing me for a golem. [ He's actually more serious about it than he presents it.. if not just because if that would happen anywhere, it would happen here. Freaking Cerealia. ]
no... i always want jelle's love...!
[...sorry, heung soo. elle's not going to help at all. but hey, this is distracting her from her terrible life. maybe it's at the expense of heung soo, but... oops.
at least she's not breaking his legs or anything, right?] Golems are way taller, and their arms are huge! Like... built in shields or something!
uwah... here it is..!! opens arms
Well. [ There's a small moment, as if he's wondering if he has to clarify this, but then he does go on to say it after a breath. ] I'm human. It'd be weird if I had built in shields.
[ You never know what these anime types could be used to.. golems, apparently, in this case. ]
.. thanks for the reassurement, though. [ Although it's very said in an "I guess" kind of way, as if he doesn't really mean it.. but the last thing he wants this ending up in is being harassed by a little kid in a more whiny way.
That's Young Do's job.]uwaaahhh jelle loves...!! jumps in
[what else would he even be? oh wait, she knows...]
I mean, unless you're like some kind of superhero in disguise or something? That would be pretty cool, but kind of a bad job covering it up. It's okay though, I wouldn't tell anyone your secret anyway.
[elle....]
no subject
[ Maybe he says it a little quickly, but he wants to get this rumor out of the world before it's even really born in the world to begin with.. especially considering how young Elle is, who knows if she won't just believe it and tell everyone that.
And the last thing he wants is for a rumor that stupid to end up biting him in the ass. ]
I'm just a regular human, like you're saying.
[ He glances back at her. She looks normal enough.. a little anime, sure, but nothing too bad. She could just pass for a western girl if he didn't know about Ludger's world not exactly being normal, judging by the swords. ]
.. and you? [ Just.. making sure here.. although granted, with how young she looks she could just make something up, huh. ]
no subject
[that example would probably be more helpful if he knew what she was talking about. but elle doesn't really seem to care if heung soo's not terrible familiar with one of her favorite shows. he should just be grateful she doesn't think he's like any member of the flotillion. it's one sentai canon that doesn't exist in heung soo's world.]
Anyway, I'm just a human too. Nothing special here! [well, nothing special that would discount her as a human, at least. but elle's not really thinking about it that way anyway.]
no subject
Still, Heung Soo can't help but feel a little glad she's doing well despite being a little kid stuck in a place like this. He's too much of a mother hen to not be at least slightly concerned by those sort of things, although he'd never admit it out loud. ]
The Conchaider, huh. [ There might actually be something vaguely amused in his tone.. don't tell anyone, Elle, it's a secret!! ] Is he at least a cool guy?
[ Not that Heung Soo necessarily thinks he himself is a cool guy, but. Well. Still. ]
no subject
[at least he's on the right track. even if elle's from a world with monsters and crazy spirits and dimensional rifts, conchaider is still just a tv show villain.
from her favorite show.]
He's the boss of the Water Breakers, and they're... affil...iates... of the Flotillion! And since the Flotillion's boss has an evil genius leading them, I bet you can guess that he's pretty evil. I mean, he is helping in the big plan to made rule the seafood industry by using fish-paste products from the dead fish and all. [the actual synopsis of what they do, honestly.] It's probably cooler to be an evil genius, though.
no subject
He shakes his head a little bit though after listening to her rambling on. ]
I don't think I'm going to fit that description. [ And not just because of the "evil" part.. Just saying.. ] But I also don't have plans for the seafood industry.
[ Instead he'll just keep providing the entire ramen industry with cash thanks to his and Nam Soon's habits. ]
no subject
That's good. Because if you're really just a normal human like you say, you probably wouldn't be much of a match for the Sunscreen Rangers anyway. [never mind the fact that ludger is probably stronger than all of them too and he's actually... you know, real and not just a tv show.]
no subject
I'm not here to start any trouble. [ Pretty honestly rather than just appeasing her, really. Mostly since he's on probation already (although it's not like she has to know that) and despite that not really mattering much here, it's grown into enough of a habit to be aware of it after his last arrest that he can't help but at least try to stick by it. ]
Although that can't be said about everyone. [ ... ] Watch out, huh?
[ Although she does seem fairly reasonable for a kid.. and cautious, judging by the way she hesitated to take the candy from him. ]
no subject
[this is sound logic, right? pretty much all the bad guys were pretty obviously bad even when they acted nice. but heung soo doesn't seem that way to her all... he just seems grumpy-serious, now that she's had a chance to talk to him a little.]
Mmhmm! I always skedaddle whenever there's trouble, and Ludger does the fighting! My kind of help is... like support, from the sidelines. That's why we're a pretty awesome team. [when she's not running off to be a noble idiot on her own, but nobody needs to know about that but ludger.]
no subject
That guy seems capable enough. [ WHAT AN ASSESSMENT, HEUNG SOO.. thank you... but okay, Ludger was just pointing swords in his face right away last time, so at least he's vigilant in case danger pops up...
(Although that sort of paranoia may not necessarily be a good thing, especially to someone who has pointy objects with them, huh.) ] .. You're lucky to be here together.
[ Because it's something he can't help but think too about how he's at least here with Nam Soon.. and it's got to be even more important for Elle to have someone familiar around, considering how young she is. ]
1/2
[there's something a little more melancholic in her response; heung soo inadvertently reminds her about everything that was going on before this, and just how conflicted she is about the situation. she'd broken a promise to ludger right before this, and even though he hadn't said anything...
well, elle knew. she knew he knew something about her choice, even if she's not sure the extent of it. she's afraid to ask... she doesn't really want ludger to be mad at her, even if she stands by her choice. but hey, these are her problems, not heung soo's, so after a minute, she'll try to shake it off.]
no subject
no subject
Sure. Just let him take care of you too. [ Because Elle's way too small of a girl to try and tackle the problems of the world by herself. Everyone needs someone to rely on like that, anyway - just like he had his sister.
He's basically borderline saying "call me too if you need it" but he's not sure if he wants to go there since.. little kid whims.. and the fact that Nam Soon would never let it go if he got stuck in another embarrassing situation while helping someone. Ever. ]
no subject
[which is honestly why she worries about him so much and why she's trying to shoulder the problems of the world. part of it is because it's stuff only she can do, but it would be a lie if she said that it wasn't also partially because she knows ludger wouldn't allow it if she tried to handle things her way with his knowledge.
it's a messy and complicated situation, and one she doesn't think heung soo would get. she barely understands a lot of it herself, and considering she won't even tell ludger what's on her mind, she's not going to burden a near-stranger with it. she gets what he means though.]
He's always done that since the beginning anyway.
no subject
[ Not.. that he's going to tell her that Ludger was pointing swords at him over it back when he first arrived.. that's not something she has to be burdened with. But still, the point is obvious - he's protective of her, and in this sort of place, it's probably a good thing considering Elle's age.
He fully straightens himself again, taking a glance at the packages he abandoned for a few moments. ]
.. I've got work. [ And am not generally too great at social situations anymore thanks to a messed up three years.. ssh... But since she's out here by herself, he can't help but add-- ] Stay safe.
no subject
[it makes sense. he's a grownup, and they've gotta work so they're not just dumb freeloaders. and as much of a brat as she can be, she's not going to question him very much about what he does or anything, not right now.
he's gotta go right? well, he managed to lift her spirits a bit (somehow... good job, heung soo). so elle gives him a nod and she smiles.]
I'll be fine. Nothing weird's happening now anyway. [she's got this, okay!] If you gotta work, you should before you get fired or something. I don't want you blaming me for something like that if it happens, got it?
no subject
(Especially spirited in the kind of way that means she isn't being a brat.) ]
Got it. [ So he'll even play along a little, as flat as it is.. ] I'll take responsibility.
[ And since.. social stuff how.. he doesn't really give any greeting to say goodbye. Instead he just nods his head at her a little before turning to walk back to his deliveries and get on with it again already.. well, at least you didn't entirely fail here, Heung Soo. ]
