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 iii

[If you thought Chizuru wasn't going to flip her lid upon seeing a small injured child, you were absolutely mistaken. Hope you wanted a babysitter, because you sure as hell are about to get one as soon as she's done staring at him in shock.

Here she is coming over now...!]


Are you alright? Um— Your injuries, and that... weird welcome...

[She's not wording things very well at all, is she.]

Would you like some help...?
cheats: (and I'm tryin' to get back)

[personal profile] cheats 2014-11-16 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ciel had his eyes closed (he was resting them, thank you, not taking a nap), but they quickly open as soon as it's clear that he's the one being addressed. It takes him a moment to catch up to what she's saying, but... Oh. Well, it's not hard to guess where her concern is coming from, so he looks down at himself. The injuries are all at least more patched up thanks to CERES rather than simply making do with what was at the amusement park, but it's definitely clear that it was quickly done too. ]

Er— That is...

[ He trails off softly, feeling a little awkward in the face of kindness, and not sure what to say. ]

What do you mean by help, exactly?
derepressed: (oops i told everyone okita is sick)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-11-16 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, um...

[They might be more or less patched up, but it still doesn't seem easy to get accustomed to a new place when he's hurt like that.]

My father was a doctor... he taught me some of what he knew. If your injuries are still bothering you at all in the next couple of days, maybe I could treat them...? And, um... [The McKnight Burgers must be avoided at all costs...] If you've just arrived, it might be difficult to get your apartment set up and cook and all those things... But cooking and cleaning are some of my talents, so I might be able to help you with that..!

[personal profile] cheats 2014-11-16 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ciel looks at her at first with a doe-eyed sort of surprise, since the offer for medical attention is honestly appreciated and unexpected, but... The rest catches him off guard in a different way. That gentle surprise turns into a sharper frown, very clearly distrustful, since he's not ready for the otome-ing. ]

Help me?

[ Once he repeats it, that scowl intensifies. ]

Why? I don't know you.
derepressed: (this is me pitying you)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-11-16 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Chizuru's life would probably be easier if she just assumed everyone was a shithead by default. If nothing else, at least she would stop being surprised when people react the way Ciel is reacting...]

Well, no... but we're in a similar situation. To be stuck in a place like this...

[She has to admit it's nicer than Zelien was, but that doesn't mean it's where she would choose to be if she could pick anywhere in any world.]

It's difficult enough as it is. So, if I can, I want to be able to help make it easier for people.

[personal profile] cheats 2014-11-16 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ His lips purse together tightly, so the distrust in his expression really couldn't be more obvious if he tried, but... There's a reluctance in his expression as well. Ciel isn't a trusting person in the slightest, but at the very least, he had been given kindness in that park where he deserved none. Strangers were willing to help him with basic tasks and to feed him, so...

At the very least, it allows him to consider it. ]


...That doesn't mean you have to help.

[ He grumbles to himself, looks around (for Oz, certainly), but then his attention is back to her. ]

If you're a doctor of some sort, I'll accept that, at least.
derepressed: (this is my "ur dumb" smile)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-11-17 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn't, [She agrees,] but I'd like to all the same.

[She is patient while he looks for the right arm of Shonen Exodia, and when his attention returns to her, she smiles.]

It looks like they've done a decent job of patching you up for the moment, but you'll want to keep a careful eye on things so they don't get infected... [1860s medical knowledge at its finest.] As long as we're very careful about it, you should be on the road to a full recovery quickly enough.
cheats: (think you motherfucker)

[personal profile] cheats 2014-11-18 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ He scoffs, turning his nose up into the air slightly, since he's a rude ass, unfortunately... Sorry Chizuru. ]

I know that much, at least. I'd rather not have to travel down the damned road to begin with, but I suppose even in the future, healing is slow.

[ Which he says with the air of this being terrible, inconvenient, and overall rude to his very existence. How dare you, CERES!! ]
derepressed: (i can't even hide that i'm laughing)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-11-19 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[She has a soft spot for rude asses, luckily, since she's from Hijikata's route this time... So his upturned nose and his attitude makes her giggle a little. She at least has the grace to try and hide her giggling behind her hand.]

Some things can't be rushed. Healing is one of them.

[Says the demon whose wounds hEAL AT AN ACCELERATED RATE. Maybe she's just as much of a shithead as Kaoru is after all...]
cheats: (I'll explain later)

[personal profile] cheats 2014-11-19 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ This is... not the response he expected at all, so in response to her giggling, Ciel looks more like she slapped him. At least it's short lived, since his nose wrinkles, and he looks away with a half-shrug. ]

Ugh, it's not funny. It's terribly inconvenient, so I was just hoping there would be something better.
derepressed: (i know something you don't knowwww)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-11-19 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry...! You just reminded me very strongly of a good friend of mine... I couldn't help it.

[She holds up both her hands in a pacifying gesture.]

He's a very strong, capable person, but he gets frustrated over this sort of thing as well... I can tell already, you're also a very strong and capable person, aren't you? So even if the situation isn't better here to start with, you can make it that way with your own two hands.
cheats: (triple double no assist)

[personal profile] cheats 2014-11-21 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ciel continues to stare at her distrustfully, since she could be just making it up to pacify him... But it works. Those are good enough compliments that he can accept it. ]

...Fine. [ He says it grumpily, but hey, acceptance is acceptance. ] I'd still rather it be fixed up quicker, though.
