//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!

[rollin]

Seriously?

[thirdarrow]

[ To that, he just folds his arms. ]

I was under the impression that modern folk are usually respectful towards their elders.

[ Since, yknow, he's technically close to 500 years old by that time. ]

[rollin]

[ This guy is a riot. ]

The way I see it, you're just as old as I am. You just need to lighten up a little. French fry?

[ He's offering. ]

[thirdarrow]

I appreciate the offer, but I will have to decline. I cannot imbibe these sort of food.

[ Health reasons and all. ]

And how old do you think I am, young man?

[rollin]

[ ... Man, at least he isn't calling him "boy". Still, he doesn't like that tone. ]

Twenty?

IM SORRY

[thirdarrow]

[ Cue a slightly satisfied smile from the strategist. ]

For your information, I am thirty-one years old. Or close to five hundred, if you count from the year of my birth to the year of your time.

[ But enough of that. ]

I would advise you to be careful on the streets, in any case. Most of the people here are not hostile, but the same cannot be said for the natives.

[rollin]

Oh. [ Yata would be sorry. He wants to be sorry, but the guy just pushed a button. ] Heh, aight, gramps. Let me tell you something. You know what they call me on the streets?

[thirdarrow]

If you are referring to the streets of your homeland, then no.

[ This boy just arrived, from the looks of it. If he had already established a reputation here this rapidly, then that would either be something commendable, or something questionable.

He catches his spellbook from the air and flips it open, very much attentive. ]

Pray tell.

[rollin]

[ No one wants to know his superhero name. Don't enable this behavior. ]

Yeah, you better write it down. [ no ] I'm the legendary Yatagarasu! [ stop ] Many are lucky to see me, few live to tell the tale.

[thirdarrow]

[ Too late, it's begun. ]

Most impressive. [ He says this evenly, writing down something in his spellbook. More information could be useful, after all. And perhaps that may be the way to earning Yata's favour.

It also means something to him, too. The Yatagarasu is his father's patron deity, after all. ]

Tell me about your legendary prowess, if you deign to divulge it.
