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!

Phase I
[ CERES HISTORY WITH HILDA SURE IS POPULAR. Whatever, like hell she was going to take lessons with a guy constantly flexing his muscles at her, and she wasn't quite sure how to feel about robots right now. The girl seemed normal enough, surely nothing could go wr--that sure is cleavage and suggestive bending over to get pencils. ]

Honestly, would you stop that? I am in no way interested in your sexual advances, so if you'd just--

[ Yeahhhhhhh this isn't working. Because Patchouli is a giant nerd, she was actually trying to listen to the lesson information. Best to know about the strange place you've woken up in, right? Unfortunately, this is getting her nowhere and she looks to be getting more and more frustrated by the minute. ]

Phase II
[ Oh, thank God. It felt like it had been so long since she'd had a good fight; ten days without magic was torture. Honestly, a hot woman trying to seduce her promptly turning into a maneating bug was not the weirdest thing she's ever seen. And she is relishing this fight, flying around and hopping on the desks, spells firing off from her fingertips and the strange-looking book in her grasp.

There's a particularly large water spell initiated, drenching the floor, only for...the bug to come charging back at her. ]


...interesting. Water spells are completely ineffective.

[ Marcie's also interested in hearing about the history and is trying to take notes, but the rippled centipede looking abs are making her wonder if this guy is just some alien bug who's taken over a hosts body or even worse, the return of Baylor Hotner. Anyone with back abs should not only be the first suspect in a mystery, but the first kill in a horror film. That's written law, but it doesn't seem to exist in this universe.

She looks unimpressed and bored as she tries to focus more on her notes than watching him bend down in front of the girl sitting before her. ]


If we wanted to see a ripped guy, I'm pretty sure we can just pick up a magazine at the grocery store. Some of us actually like learning.

[ The tutor winks at her and all she can do is retch in the most overdramatic manner. ]

[ Patchouli just rolls her eyes in a melodramatic fashion. ]

Yes, I can't help but think that this is the plot of every erotic novel written in the past fifty years.

[ or if she was a less old fashioned person 'wow this is like a really bad porno' ]

[ Her hand rests against her cheek as she listens to him going on about more historic texts, but not before he falls across the desk and acts like it was an accident. He poses a couple more times to really show off his body. She sighs. ]

This is just pointless.

[ He falls to the floor and places his arm over his eyes... then flexes it and grins. ]

He's not even trying now.

[ She is honestly restraining the urge to laugh, everything is so blatant and terribly unconvincing. ]

Might I suggest something that actually involves our curriculum, sir? It would also help if you put on proper clothing.

normcore: (a combination of laughing and whizzing)

[personal profile] normcore 2014-11-16 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ She doesn't say anything for awhile and just watches him trying to be a handsome, devilish man when he just looks like one of those Regina Wentworth cardboard cut outs. Marcie gets out of her chair and starts looking for the textbook. ]

I'll just make this easy for all of us. I'll read from whatever book this stuff is in.

[ Suddenly the tutor looms over her, looking down at her like she's made a grave mistake. Marcie takes a step back with a look of unjustifiable fear in her eyes. ]

[personal profile] sunshade 2014-11-16 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Patchy looks ready to listen in LIKE THE NERD SHE TRULY IS but Marcie looking frightened catches her off guard. Frowning a bit, she raises herself out of her own seat, juuuust in case... ]
normcore: (hey nerds!)

[personal profile] normcore 2014-11-16 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The tutor leans in, staring at her with the most soulless, yet stern expression. Marcie can hardly move from her spot as she looks up, trying not to feel intimidated. There's something about the way he's looking at her that makes her even more uncomfortable than usual.

He flexes his biceps and points her back to her seat like he's referring to the gun show being that way. It's a change that comes off as unnatural like something is pretending to be a human rather than being a real human. She takes a few steps back while clutching onto the ends of her coat before she heads for her seat. She sit down, looking between Patchouli and the tutor. ]


Guess we'll just have to deal with watching a beefhead trying to show off.

How extraordinarily dedicated to the cause of sexual learning.

[ although from the tone of her voice, she doesn't entirely believe that's the case. She studies him curiously for a few moments, until--ah, yes, a flicker. ]

...please tell me my eyesight isn't failing me, too.

[ did u see that too, nerdfriend??? ]
normcore: (tracy took advantage of my white guilt)

[personal profile] normcore 2014-11-17 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
No.

[ There's suspicion in her voice as her eyes narrow to look past her glasses and toward the tutor. Her lips press together as she tries to look for any other sights of what just happened. The tutor continues minding his own business, talking about ships with hard masts, but she's not convinced. ]

I saw it too. [ She glances around. ] There aren't any holographic projectors or mirrors, so it might be some kind of illusion. Like a sleight of hand.

They aren't using any illusion spells as far as I can tell. Either they're particularly good at cloaking their magic presence, or there's something in the environment itself.

Magus, stand back.

[That's the only warning Rider will give to a nearby Patchouli, before she flings a large spike nail right toward the creature. It whizzes by the girl and goes directly into the monster, a strange ooze spurting out around it as the nail is firmly in place.

Rider then jumps to the other side of the room, using the chain connected to the dagger to wrap the monster around and trap it.
]

Quickly, destroy it.

[She saw Patchouli firing spells - a magus should be able to disperse of this creature quickly.]

[personal profile] sunshade 2014-11-16 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ She raises her eyebrows at Rider's choice of words--'magus' sounded so archaic to her, she hadn't heard anyone call her that in God knows how many years. On the other hand, speed is not Patchouli's specialty, so she only barely gets out of the way, earning herself a slight cheek slash and cut hair.

When she looks up again--uh, okay, this strange woman is already setting things up. Aw man, she wanted to fight. Fine, fine she'll destroy it. She flips open the book in her hand and-- ]


Fire Sign "Akiba Summer"!

[ --unleashes repeated chain whips of fire at the monster. If water did nothing, maybe fire would help? ]

[personal profile] viperess 2014-11-17 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Fire works better than water, and the monster lights up in flames and burns but continues to growl and shriek to try and get free. It begins to shake its body to be free from the restraints and Rider tries to tighten the hold.

However its no use -- it breaks free from the hold of her chains and the nail is pulled out. Instead of going after Rider it jolts straight for Patchouli, albeit slower thanks to being partly on fire still. A wounded monster trying to stave off death.
]

Quickly, use something stronger!

[personal profile] sunshade 2014-11-18 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...huh. She really did expect that to take care of it. Despite the rampaging monster heading right in her direction, she looks as chill as ever. ]

Interesting. It's tougher than it looks...Metal & Wood Sign "Elemental Harvester"!

[ Apparently there was a reason for that, being that this is a defensive spell. Charging bug monster, meet a whirling field of gears and cogs. ]
viperess: <user name="unification"> (pic#)

[personal profile] viperess 2014-11-19 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
[As Patchouli uses the spell, Rider tosses her nails at the back of the monster. They pierce its back, but her intent was more to hold it in place with her pull on the chains, reeling it back from getting too close to the magus.

The gears and cogs all hit the monster, its ability to move away from the field stopped by Rider holding it like a dog on a leash, and it crumbles down to the ground with a strong thud. All the attacks on it were too much, the last of the fire that engulfed it flickering away -- the beast dead.

Rider de-materializes her weapons when its over and stares down the monster from afar, but makes no move to come closer.

[ Closing her grimoire, Patchouli hops down from the desk, poking the corpse with her shoe. Upon confirming it is, indeed, dead, she straightens out her frazzled hair and takes a better look at Rider.

...strange. She didn't feel human, but she didn't feel like a youkai, either. ]


...who are you?
viperess: <user name="unification"> (pic#8484589)

[personal profile] viperess 2014-11-21 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Rider.

[She says plainly. A magus isn't any threat to her, though it'd be curious to see if she understands the meaning of her title. Even those who can never qualify for the war are often aware of what it is.]

Your magic was splendidly executed. Who are you?

[personal profile] sunshade 2014-11-22 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ there's no sign of recognition on her face. although she does wonder if 'Rider' is some sort of title as opposed to a real name ]

I'd certainly hope so. [ ...well, she'll take the same path and see if her own title gets any identification ] Patchouli Knowledge. The Witch of the Week.

[ Considering that everyone knows almost zilch about CERES, of course it's popular! But Peggy is stifling her own groan as she rolls her eyes, pencil end tapping rather impatiently against her notepad. ]

I'm afraid our tutor is quite determined to make a spectacle of herself. Short of throwing out out of the classroom, however, I'm not entirely sure there's a way to make her behave.

[ However much she'd like to punch Hilda in the face right now to stop her brazen behavior, it just simply wasn't polite. And so long as it mostly stays to bending over and flaunting her cleavage, well... ]
sunshade: ( needs source ) (➺ book to nose)

[personal profile] sunshade 2014-11-17 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. I'm going to test something. Excuse me for a moment.

[ She glances over at Peggy for a moment before redirecting her attention to Hilda, motioning her over, and--unties the...ribbon around her collar... ]

What page were we on? I do believe I've lost track. If you could simply direct me to the proper paragraph...

[ Oh, look, apparently being sexy in return gets results. Upon receiving her desired information and Hilda leaving once more, Patchouli veRY PROMPTLY reties her ribbon and exaggeratedly shudders. ]

Hypothesis confirmed. Unfortunately.

[ Peggy just stared for a moment at the girl and then hid her dismay behind a subtle cough. ]

Yes, well. I suppose that's certainly one way to cajole a bit of useful information, but I'm afraid it can't be sustained indefinitely.

[ at least not and keep their dignity. ]

It would be much, much better if our tutor would simply behave herself, don't you agree?

[ one can wish? ]
sunshade: ( needs source ) (➺ book to nose)

[personal profile] sunshade 2014-11-22 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, certainly. [ she looks completely unperturbed, as though what she just did was for the sake of an experiment.

let's be real, it totally was. NO ATTACHMENTS TO EXPERIMENTS. ]


It was a test, you must realize. They won't actively respond to anything other than behavior similar to their own.

pure_confidence: (uncertain)

[personal profile] pure_confidence 2014-12-08 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ she was, unfortunately, coming to the same conclusion. Pressing her lips down in a thin line, she nodded brusquely. ]

So it would seem.

Then, in such a case, perhaps we should work together to get the most out of this class.

[ and by tag teaming, perhaps they might escape it with most of their clothes and dignities still intact as well. ]

((ooc: so late with the tag backs, sorry! If you need to hand wave something, go ahead, otherwise I'd love to keep threading.))
