Learning is Fundamental! Let's play CERESLearn


ViViD's usual worlds are unfortunately down for maintenance. While CERES' programmers work on getting it back up and running, all new entrees this round will be going through a different level than usual. Only a single world is accessible at the moment, a simple one entitled 'CERESLearn.' "What the $%@& is this?" you must be thinking. Well, it's simple!

It's a study program, of course! CERES' advanced AI technology is here to make sure you learn and that you learn sexily. Whether or not you pay attention to the actual content is up to you, the player. Please enjoy it while it lasts. They're here to teach you a variety of subjects and also to make you feel vaguely uncomfortable all over.

New arrivals and those logging into ViViD will first find themselves in a classroom with a new operator greeting them rather than Vidia.
"Greetings and welcome to Cerealia! It's nice of you to join us at last. As you can see, we're just about to get started!

Here are the instructions:

♥ Choose your subject of choice. They include things like medicine, math, CERES economics, CERES history, fun facts about Julius, engineering, and science!
♥ Choose your tutor. You can hire Astor, Hilda, or UN-Zippy
♥ They'll teach you slowly, deliberately, sensually. Then after that, they'll drill you hard and without stopping.
♥ Just when you think you've had enough, they'll quiz you all over until you're sweating and panting.
♥ For those of you who pass, you'll be welcomed well into Cerealia and be given a free voucher for a McCERES Mildly Content meal. Please enjoy!"

//SCENARIOS.EXE
PHASE I
[ xx:xx ] Once you choose your lesson and your tutor, you will be transported to a classroom where you and a few other players who decide to choose the same lesson will sit with your tutor after school, getting knowledge taught to you by someone who seems more intent on learning what's under your clothes than filling your head with knowledge. They will be awkwardly stretching, dropping pencils by 'accident' on the floor, and bending down slowly to pick them up. Certain things might be spilling out of their clothes. Awkward things. They will breathe down your neck and make sure you are well-versed in their anatomy by the end of the lesson.

Fortunately, it won't last long as their bodies start to flicker erratically.
PHASE II
[ xx:xx ] Just as things begin to escalate, the flickering will grow intense until your tutor will start to morph before your eyes. What takes their place is something that is anything but friendly. And yes, it will continue to breathe down your neck and speak in a sweet, soft, alluring voice while reaching out with its 'hands' to try and touch you.

This will be your cue to run through the halls of the school while That Thing chases you in every single direction imaginable. There will be others joining you as everyone starts bolting out of their classrooms.
PHASE III
[ xx:xx ] Feeling tired already? Well, don't stop and rest now! For those who successfully murder their own tutor, they will get their food voucher and a lovely welcome into CERES. You've officially passed! Everyone will be allowed to mingle around the game room in the CERES Research Tower before being directed into McCERES just across the street. For those who were already in the colony, you will also receive a voucher and directions to McCERES at the end of the game in case you want to go meet up with the newcomers there or just eat some artery-killing fast food.

PHASE IV
[ xx:xx ] For those who get eaten by That Thing or don't pass their quizzes and upset their tutors, they will be forced to endure the Price of Failure. This means being sent to the gym with the other 'failures' to endure a painfully slow and erotic striptease by UN-Zippy. Once that is over, they will then be logged out and allowed to have their complimentary McCERES voucher.

BONUS
[ why:o'clock ] Congratulations on surviving CERESLearn! Here's your complimentary voucher for a free Mildly Content Meal at McCERES. This month's special is also the McKnight Burger. Characters are immediately invited to take a load off and enjoy some good ol' fashion fast food of questionable origin. Those who decide to order and eat here will also get a special toy included inside their Mildly Content Meals.

Welcome to CEREALIA's latest intro post. For your convenience, we have compiled a post detailing everyone's usual arrival experience (which is not entirely applicable this round for reasons stated above^) and a FAQ that should explain everything in more detail. Please read them thoroughly before playing. Thank you!

[For the most part she is absorbed in the game, enjoying the simplicity of the mechanics. She thinks that riding a real car would be more exhilarating, but the fake experience isn't bad either. It's amusing how fast she can make it go if nothing else.

However when she hears a voice she breaks her attention from the screen to look (well, "look" almost being figurative with her blindfold on) at the girl she believes is addressing her.
]

Is that so?

[She says softly, curious about the girl's explanation. Her time period didn't have anything like cars and she can't quite properly absorb how to use one efficiently through a simulated game machine - not in the same way she could with the real thing.

So she turns her head back and does as the girl says. She tries to lean back further into the seat and softens her hold on the wheel, instead adjusting her foot on the pedal. It takes a few seconds but the game responds and the mph of the virtual car increases steadily. Rider turns her head back to the girl and smiles.
]

It seems you were correct. Thank you. I've never ridden a car, so your advice was useful.

[ Marcie doesn't seem all that weirded out that she's wearing a blindfold while maneuvering a driving game. There's a logical explanation for it that, at any other time, she would have loved to figure out. The erstwhile calls of false supernatural mysteries that ended up being people in suits is no longer applicable here at this moment in time. As much as she would love to solve this mystery, there are other pressing matters at hand.

Such as why murdering a robotic tutor would get her a food coupon and not even an ounce of fulfillment. Perhaps she should look into one of those shooting games across the way...

Marcie shrugs and crosses her arms. The praise is nice, but her voice is still monotone like it's nothing new to her. Her attention is now on the neon colored game. ]


I don't know how to drive either. I just know how these things work from my dad's amusement park. What else is a seven-year-old girl supposed to do except pull these things apart to see how they work?

[personal profile] viperess 2014-11-16 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods and turns her head back around, just so she can properly focus on the game. The blindfold is really more for other people - she can see through it just fine thanks to her eyes. It only stops her the mystic power of them from affecting others.]

So you were raised around these machines and you became curious as to what they did. Are these machines only for entertainment or is there something else you were looking to discover?
normcore: (he could wear a thumb ring)

[personal profile] normcore 2014-11-16 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Some people play them for fun, others take them apart to see how they work.

[ That makes the corners of her lips turn upward a little. It starts to look like a smirk, but falls into a little smile instead. Marcie doesn't move from her spot and continues watching the game instead. It's not all that appealing to her, but it's the topic of conversation so it's what she'll keep her gaze on. ]

There's a spring right underneath the pedal. Really small and tightly wound. If you hit it just right, not even the computer will be able to catch up to you.

[personal profile] viperess 2014-11-16 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Hm.

[She smirks at that comment and darts her head down to look down at the pedal. For a moment she lifts her foot and lets the pedal decompress, but then shifts her foot and presses down again to see if she can push down on the spring.

The virtual car goes speeds up again, going past the first place car that was giving her troubles. However it's only the last ditch attempt - the car crosses the finish line and the game ends with her as the winner.
]

You understand these machines well. [She feels a small lift of pride. She slides back further and carefully steps out of the car seat. No longer sitting it's apparent she's taller than the average woman would be, her hair flowing down near her ankles.] Thank you for your assistance. Can I ask for your name?
normcore: (i once french kissed a dog at a party)

[ Marcie herself is only a few inches shorter than her, but it's her composure that makes her feel so much taller. She's stares for a few seconds... only because it's almost like talking to Lilith as a separate entity — something that's silly to her because she's the one who was Lilith. Everything's been a strange mix of events since she was placed into that box, or so her rational side attempts to remind her. ]

My name...? [ She looks up at her a little surprised. It's been awhile since she's been asked that and it catches her off guard. Most people are just willing to call her that horrid nickname she can't escape. ] It's Marcie. Marcie Fleach.

[It's a cute name, but that goes unspoken. She appreciates how the girl doesn't appear outwardly unnerved by her appearance. She's use to people being intimidated by her, be it her height or her appearance or anything other reason someone may be turned off from her. Of course people can hide their feelings, she knows well, but not having that moment of awkwardness feels good.]

Marcie. Pleased to meet you. You may call me Rider. Are you perhaps a resident of this city?

[It doesn't hurt to ask. She could use information from the natives.]
normcore: (allergic to anything warm and adorable)

[personal profile] normcore 2014-11-16 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm as new to this place as you are, fresh out of that weird tutoring session and everything.

[ She looks over her shoulder, looking at everyone there and trying to figure out who's new and who isn't. There's no real indicator like vicious fangs or the typical grey alien one would see littered across magazine or in the Dinkley's museum. For the most part, nobody really stands out here... but then again, she reminds herself that her measurements are based on the residents of Crystal Cove. Wouldn't the most normal looking person be the one with the most information?

She turns to face her again. ]


But something tells me that we're not gonna learn much about this place unless we're watching someone drop a pencil and bending down to pick it up.

[personal profile] viperess 2014-11-17 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
[She smirks gently at that remark. Rider likes this girl already.]

Unfortunately, even in that situation, we aren't going to learn much. [She hardly learned anything about this place from Hilda. Mainly because Hilda was far too busy trying to seduce her rather than actually teach her. She wasn't very good at it either.] It may just be they want us to learn on our own. If this place is real and that school wasn't, then exploration would be the best way to adjust.

You mean like investigating or infiltration?

[ There isn't much of a change of tone in her voice, but there's the most minute hint of excitement there. There are things she needs to know — about V, about that curse and if the world of hers really is destroyed because of it — and things her mind won't stop questioning about this place. She strikes up the opportunity to relive the experience of investigative thrill she once had with the gang. There's an itching of knowledge buzzing within her as the curiosity of CERES emanates in every vein of her somehow still in-tact body.

She won't choose wrong; there's no one to hold Velma's life or the reminder of her probation over her head. Even here she has a chance to change it all, to rearrange the world so that her only friend isn't in mortal danger. That's what excites her more than anything else. ]

Yes. It should be easy when we are ignorant to everything around us.

[One of the things she did most in the Holy Grail War was silently stalk from the shadows, due to Shinji's cowardice. It was fun at times to simply observe from the shadows, a fly on the wall, watching as things developed. So many Servants were killed quickly all because they dashed into action too eagerly. Patience is often a virtue in many situations and this is no different.]
normcore: (hey nerds!)

[personal profile] normcore 2014-11-19 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Some head honcho is always running these things, we've gotta find them. No one in that presentation group looked like they were a CEO, but then again... not even my dad looks like he runs an amusement park. Still, anyone in charge is going to have some huge office to sit in... so there's gotta be some building around here that looks and sounds seedy too.

[ She reaches for her penlight, but doesn't turn it on. Marcie is ready for action. ]

Where do you think we should start?
viperess: <user name="unification"> (pic#8484589)

[personal profile] viperess 2014-11-21 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Then perhaps...the largest building we can find? Figures of authority often enjoy making their power well known in a physical manner.

[That seems to be the most reasonable thing to her.]
