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.

ii
What he didn't count on was being almost hit by a flying sword. He sidesteps it easily enough, at least, and then he looks toward the owner of it. ]
Wow, the violent criminal really acts like a violent criminal, amazing. Do I need to be careful of dying again or something?
[ He's not taking this seriously at all, simply continuing to smoke his cigarette and calmly watch the spectacle. ]
no subject
..."Dying again", though? Sure, he was in a battle before this, but Sousei doesn't think that he's dead (despite what he's been told, but why would he trust the assholes who immediately turn around and try to kill him?), so...
Regardless, Sousei gives the peanut gallery a flat look, even as he steps back to avoid another attack by that droid, which doesn't much seem put out by the loss of its sword.]
I don't intend you any harm. [That said--] It can be dangerous near a fight.
[You should probably keep your distance, utterly unhelpful friend. Though in the next instant, Sousei is sidestepping the droid's attempt to grab at him one more time. One sweep of his sword later and the droid is sans arm (which really just convinces him that it's not human, which makes the next step so much easier), and then he is quickly stepping to one side and behind it, slamming his sword straight through the back of its head.
Well that was fast.]
no subject
But, "intend no harm" to him? While he didn't doubt it - most people here were surprisingly too good for their own well-being - he really didn't care if it was dangerous to be close or not. ]
I'm not particularly worried.
[ Spirits didn't really work the same way as live humans, even when the spirits found themselves suddenly visible to everyone ever, when they shouldn't actually be visible. No big deal, though. ]
no subject
So it would seem. [Whether that's wise or not Sousei keeps to himself, especially without knowing the current situation. It's not like he can make snap judgements at a time like this.]
Can I help you?
no subject
I dunno, but I doubt it, considering you're sort of wanted right now.
no subject
[Regardless of the other man's own lackadaisical attitude towards his own health, Sousei's at least aware that being around him at the moment is an invitation for more danger, and he's not going to suggest to stick around for that.
(Also, stop wasting his time.)]
no subject
[ Rasu might be timid and weird as hell (though Hokuto is a bit weird too) but he is a talented nurse assistant, or he wouldn't be employed by the Soul School. ]
no subject
It's foolish to remain in danger simply because someone will patch you up after. [Honestly.] That's only causing more trouble.
no subject
That so? Then I guess I'm fine with being irresponsible. Being responsible is such a pain.
[ He does it enough by being a teacher. ]
no subject
But for someone who is responsible to the core, this is...beyond irritating to hear. But. Not his problem. Not his problem. Probably.]
Then why are you out here?
[Mostly he's just trying to get a feel for if this guy will cause even more trouble, or not.]
no subject
Why was he asking that? As someone he doesn't know and everything. ]
I don't know if I want or need to tell you.
no subject
Are you intending to cause more trouble, or are you simply here to observe?
no subject
I haven't really decided yet, actually.
no subject
...I see.
[he sees that you're a little shit.]
If you cause more difficulties, then I will not hesitate to stop you.
[Fair warning, because now he's turning on his heel to go help out the more...hapless newbies...]
no subject
Who says I'm out to cause trouble?
[ and just because he has nothing better to do, he follows. ]
no subject
I intend to be prepared for any possibility.
[And you didn't say you wouldn't, sir.]
no subject
You gonna prepare for any eventualities? Like flying cars and swimming planes?
no subject
And so, Sousei deals with it by giving the shortest answer possible.]
Yes.
[Who knows if he could really deal with stupid nonsense like that, but he will damn well try.
But he's still...striding away, oh god why is this happening.]
no subject
When are you from?
[ Because he's still looking and acting like a soldier, but could be from several different time periods. ]
no subject
[He has no problems with giving out that information, even if he's not even sure why Hokuto cares. But it's hardly problematic information.]
no subject
[ Closer to modern, but not quite there. ]
no subject
... I will adapt to the situation as need-be.
[If that's a concern. He certainly doesn't intend to be deadweight in the least.]
no subject
[ Because time-jumps could prove to be a problem. ]
no subject
[It's an immediate answer, because honestly, there's not really a choice. He'll adapt. He kind of has to. So he's not even going to bother questioning the alternative.]
no subject
[ But you know. Some things might be just a bit hard. ]
