//GAME ⇢ START.EXE
Welcome to your life!
So you've been introduced to the wonderful world of Tellus, and now, you're wondering where to go. Never fear, for the wonderful CEO and his team of supportive companions have ensured that you won't be completely lost!
Heading towards the residential district, you find yourself facing some lovely hovering signs directing you to the large, beautiful dome garden in the center of the district. It's a rather large and intriguing location, and it's so huge that you may need to get a bike or transport to get where the arrows are pointing you to. Still confused? No trouble! The cute androids are willing to walk you there, or point you to the garden carts to transport you around.
Once you get to the flower garden in the eastern garden sector, you'll find a large and flowery ground with pretty streams against the backdrop of the high rises of the city where a Job Fair will currently be held. This is where you'll be getting a look at the very many jobs available within the Colony, and these are just a few to start off with!
Of course, that's not all to do here. Feel free to make your way around and see if you can find someone you know, or stop by the food stalls where a variety of meals to tempt you are around. Take some to your new residential spaces, and be sure to try the special delicacy of the planet, "Knight Burgers" are being served. The "Garden Burgers" are the vegetarian option, so don't miss out!
Meanwhile, your resident CEO is clad in an apron, happily grilling away and handing out succulent burgers to his new arrivals.
"So we meet again, hm? Oh? You don't remember me? Well, don't worry. We'll get to know one another very well soon enough. In the meantime, try a burger."
He holds out a single burger on a spatula with a smile, waiting for it to be accepted. |

PHASE I [ 12 01 ]
The hologram trees flicker to life as they shed petals around the area. It's a brand new semester. Will CEO-senpai notice you? There are several booths set up around the garden where characters can meet their new employers and start asking questions. They can also get glimpses of their new work place and pick up their uniforms/training manuals. If your character is still undecided about their unemployment, they can take the opportunity to see what other kind of options are available. There will also be a booth for the CYbuddies and HOLOgm if they want to sample the new technology for themselves.
PHASE II [ ???? ]
One of the booths has several helmets characters can wear to upload themselves into ViViD, a state of the art virtual reality game, and enter one of the game stages to participate in a solo or team mission. They can sample a few minutes of gameplay as they enter a short battle with one of the NPC creatures. They'll quickly become familiar with the state-of-the-art technology as all pain and wounds experienced inside will feel real and will appear on each character's body. But what an awesome game it is! With amazing digital quality surround, it's a world like none other... but be careful not to fall too fast! (Those monsters even smell real, don't they?)
Feel free to talk to Vidia, the game host, if you need help getting things going!
PHASE III [ 1430 ]
The afternoon drones on as normal. Everything seems a little too mundane. Too uneventful. Some professional masseuses are on hand to lure you away and relax some of those frown lines and brow wrinkles. In the midst of it all, you find yourself starting to notice that the hologram trees are shifting ever so slightly. Within them, there's a glimpse of something from back home. A loved one, perhaps? A familiar face? You feel compelled to follow them further away from the party and into one of the quieter areas. The image then shifts into a warped version of yourself before vanishing entirely.
Other holograms will start flickering around you at the same time, showing buildings from home -your house? your old school? your work place? -Until there's a shadow overwhelming it, spreading outward slowly.
Then something else appears within the darkness for a moment, lost in a single blink. That one second passes so swiftly it's barely noticeable.
PHASE IV [ 1522 ]
The garden party & barbecue is winding down. Your resident CEO has run out of burgers to give, but he's happy to pass around drinks instead. The other stalls are still open though! Come collect a few frozen margaritas or ice cream to kick back and enjoy while under the sun. There's even a raffle for those who deigned to spend some money on a ticket. The prize is a luxury getaway weekend at one of Cerealia's finest apartment buildings. You'll get the penthouse suite for two whole nights and all the amenities you can think of at your disposal. Don't wait! Hurry up and sign up for it now.
[ For those who choose to participate, winners will be chosen at random by RNG. ]
BONUS [ whyo'clock ]
There's a bidet hidden in one of the garden bathrooms. Has your character ever enjoyed the grand luxury of a bidet? It's time for them to get acquainted with the sweet, sweet feeling of being clean.
[ The garden party & job fair will be long, so take your time enjoying both and dreading what's to come after. Remember to apply proper warnings on threads with trigger-y or inappropriate material and do let a mod know if your thread careens off into maiming or canoodling so we can lock the log. ]

//RUN.EXE
Welcome to CEREALIA's Official Intro Log. Please forgive our appearance as we are still going through the final stages game completion… mostly fighting with table codes. While most pages are under development and/or hidden from the public eye, please don't feel discouraged, since knowing everything doesn't always make the experience. Your characters will know as little as you. For your convenience, we have compiled a post detailing everyone's arrival experience. Please read that and this ooc post thoroughly before playing. Thank you!

Yet.
[ He'll give Kaoru that much, since he doubts he could already be enough of a shitlord to warrant the description "being cruel to someone" in that little time they've been here so far.. unless they brought Kaoru before. But even if he doesn't specifically know just how deep the depths of Kaoru's awfulness run, Souji actually bothering to bring it up gives him good enough of an indication, considering that guy's pretty good at being the king of awful as well. ]
'sides, are you really allowed to say anything about fair? Try being upfront for once instead of tryin' to lie your way out of everything like this, then maybe I'll let you get in a word or two about fairness. [ Here's to hoping no one is watching this though or it just looks like a beefy guy bullying a young shy woman.. whoops... but Shinpachi's so caught up in all this that he doesn't realise that, anyway. ]
no subject
But Kaoru, on the other hand, is very acutely aware of how this would look to anyone passing by, which is part of the reason there's so much dedication to the whole act.]
But I haven't lied about anything. [Such accusations!! Kaoru has only spoken the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth (with maybe a few artful embellishments) since arrival.]
And "yet"... [With brows furrowed upward, the expression on Kaoru's face is only looking more upset.] I don't know what has happened to leave such a sour impression, but I wouldn't be cruel to anyone here. This situation is already so difficult and confusing... The last thing that anyone needs is unkindness.
no subject
The last thing, huh?
[ Yeah, he has a hard time believing it.. Even if he was like OH FEEDING SOUJI THE OCHIMIZU WAS TOTALLY FOR HIS OWN GOOD he already didn't believe a single part of that either since seriously, drinking the ochimizu is never a good thing and it wouldn't have been hard to goad Souji into it with the state he was in.
Although it leaves him a little paranoid if Kaoru still has another bottle of it with him... ]
As long as ya really believe that [ said with a tone of "I DON'T THINK YOU DO..." which he doesn't even bother to hide ] then I guess we won't have a problem either, huh?
[ mentally points at eyes points at kaoru ]
no subject
THIS IS A BARE MINIMUM VICTORY since it's pretty obvious that Shinpachi doesn't actually believe what he's saying, but as long as he's going to play along for the time being, Kaoru can be satisfied with it. Besides, it's not like it'll be difficult to make it seem like he had been telling the truth. There's no reason to misbehave in this situation. (and then Chizuru shows up and that plan goes out the window wHOOPS)]
I do. [Believe it, that is. He's Naruto levels of dattebayo. But just for show, Kaoru will fold both hands together and dip into a perfectly polite bow, looking a cross between upset and apologetic.]
I apologize for whatever has been done to upset you so, but I can promise you that I would prefer for things to remain peaceful.
no subject
[ Not that Shinpachi doesn't love swordfighting, because he sure does.. but on the other hand, he'd prefer it if Kaoru would just pull nothing at all. Especially not on one of his friends. But if he can keep things from escalating for now and just keep an eye on Kaoru later, then it should be fine, right? No matter how much he doesn't believe this act whatsoever anymore. ]
Guess we're at an agreement then. [ Seriously barebones victory.. ]
no subject
That said, Kaoru sure isn't about to risk it taking a turn for the worse by sticking around. Raising from the bow, hands still folded, a step back is taken.]
Then I won't burden Nagakura-san with my presence any longer. Please excuse me.
[He hopes that crocodile eats your hand, pal!!]
no subject
Yeah, I'll see you later. [ Laced with a hefty tone of that he really will see Kaoru later, because if cowroo thinks this means he can just go off and do whatever and get away with it, then he's messing with the wrong Shinsengumi captain here.
Your feminine wiles may work on Sano and Heisuke, but not on him, okay!! .. Not.. anymore, anyway... But at least he doesn't seem to be making any move whatsoever to keep Kaoru from leaving. ]
no subject
Gross, though, the last thing that Kaoru wants to deal with is repeated run-ins with any of the Shinsengumi members. So that "I'll see you later" gets no verbal reply at all, because no! No, he will not - not if Kaoru has anything to say about it!! It's a big city, okay, surely it could be manageable if he really tried.
A polite nod is given and then he's turning on his heel to leave. If nothing else, at least Kaoru assumes that Shinpachi is either honorable enough or enough of a blockhead to not take advantage of a turned back to attack...]
