//event005.EXE 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 [ xxxx ] 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 [ xxxx ] 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 [ xxxx ] 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 [ xxxx ] 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 [ whyo'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.

//RUN.EXE 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!

[ Seems a lot of people chose this specific class. Kagemitsu did, too, because knowing the history of a place would help in understanding it. (Like, what even is a gun, it's nothing he's ever seen before.)

He's jumped up on Poko's back, after the tanuki had changed into her much bigger shape, and when they see the running kid, Poko dash up to the boy, and Kagemitsu pulls him up on Poko's back.

The spirit/animal is certainly much faster than a little boy, so they are quick to get further from the monster after that. ]

Are you alright?

[cheats]

W— Waaah!!

[ He can't help but yelp in alarm as he's pretty much scooped up onto an... animal's (???) back, because this is strange! This is terribly, awfully, completely bizarrely strange, and he's so taken aback by that for the moment that he forgets to be grateful, but he'll get to it... Eventually... ]

What is happening?!

[firstcloud]

[ Not that he didn't expect the boy to be startled.. So it's alright, he'll be patient. And he has a secure grip on the boy, in case he starts flailing. It wouldn't do to let the child fall off, least of all at this speed. ]

We just thought it looked like you needed a little help.

[cheats]

I—?

[ He looks down at what he's riding on in more surprise, but... Ultimately, he decides that for now? It's better to just go with it. He can question it later, or just not question it at all, because who knows... ]

Yes! Yes, I'm fine! [ Well, he is injured, but those were there to start, so he doesn't mention those. ]

[firstcloud]

[ He should say something. Kagemitsu might not be an expert, but he knows some about medicine and first aid. As it was 800~ years ago, at least. ]

Good. At least that thing didn't hurt you.

[cheats]

Well, no, thank god.

[ He glances back reluctantly, but if Bughilda is chasing, they don't seem to be in danger, at least, so he's thankful for that. ]

What was that, do you know?

[firstcloud]

[ Thankfully, Poko is fast enough to leave the bug teacher behind. ]

Some sort of mononoke or ayakashi?

[ It's the only thing he can think of right off the bat. Sorry, he just fought something that might be either. ]

[cheats]

[ The problem is, Ciel is definitely from 19th century England, so he definitely has no idea what these words mean even remotely. His expression turns awkward, and he shakes his head slightly. ]

...A what now?

[firstcloud]

[ Bugger. Different time periods is such a bugger. ]

Spirits of various malicious or non malicious intent, basically.
