//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!

Yeah, 'course. But then a lot'a non-American stuff're American now. [ like the people who crossed oceans and all that. His parents were British once, but he's totally American. ]
What 'bout yerself, then? Me, I was from 1908 when I stumbled from Bolivia to that other world I was in before here. I dunno 'bout years'n that one yet, though. Haven't been informed of it from Haruakira or 'nyone yet. [ Just. Casually talking about famous onmyouji. But he's not famous to him. And his canon is a damn jamjar so nothing weird about talking about coming from different eras at all. ]
no subject
I think people said before the time I come from is.. uh.. 1860-something.. [ Close enough, he decides, and he ends it with a small shrug as if to say "that's what you'll have to work with" without words. ] That's gotta still be from before your time then. Even if I have to admit I have no idea where Bolivia's s'posed to be.
no subject
Then you're from around the period I was born, that's cool. [ He's curious about it. Besides, pops and those other samurai were from even earlier than that, right? just forty-ish years a difference wasn't that much of a big deal. ] But yeah, it ain't close t' Japan at least, far as I know'a.
no subject
Although the other statement makes him raise an eyebrow - not sceptically, really, but more just curiously. ]
Oh, you're from that early on too? I'm used to people here bein' from way beyond that time. [ Even if this is some weird person who called him a kid!! ]
no subject
Yeah, I am. Though some years has passed since then, 'f course. [ He wasn't born that recently, after all. ] I've met people from hundreds'a years ago before, so I guess it's th' same for the both'a us them.
no subject
Why do these places always gotta be so complicated with times and places, huh? Couldn't they just take everyone from one time and spot? Sure would make everything a lot easier to understand and deal with.
[ But then again, who'd want a city full of samurai pissed off over being kidnapped.. no one, that's who. ]
no subject
Diversity creates a variety of opinions, ideas, and opportunities. Plus, we can all learn new things from each other, since we've a lotta different experiences. I'm guessin' that might be havin' somethin' to do with it.
no subject
[ Not that he has a problem with learning. Shinpachi likes to keep himself informed about things! He checked out new modern things back in Zelien! But even so.. ]
That kinda sounds like a dumb thing to kidnap people over.
no subject
[ Though that's one side of it. ]
Not if y'want 'em to work for you.
no subject
Either that, or they got something worse in store.
[ Don't even ask about the shit he's seen, man, he's fairly sure he understands just how bad this could possibly get. ]
no subject

[ Followed up by a sigh. In a sense he almost likes COMPASS more than CERES. At least they said what they were up to right off the bat, even if they were a bunch of cruel bastards who killed some of his best friends and then tried to make him kill another one of them as well.
Here though? Everything seems so nice and friendly and open - but thanks to Zelien, Shinpachi isn't inclined to believe even a single bit of the hospitality. ]
'sides, we're way outnumbered too. No matter what's gonna happen, we'll be completely at their mercy. [ Not a prospect he looks forward to, considering he doesn't trust them. Not that he doesn't believe he can't fight big groups, but going up against this entire city.. that seems like a little too much even for him. ]

But it still means we gotta gather more information first on who we're up against here. These surroundings are so weird to me that trying to go for something now without knowing anything would just be suicide.
