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

[ Excuse Peggy as she gets the shock of her life as she comes at Steve from another direction entirely. It was supposed to be the start of her shift, but... She dropped her purse, in shock and still staring at the man some fifteen or so odd feet away. ]

Steve? Is that you?

[ Her voice came out a little bit more strangled then usual because after he left the last time she... Well, she didn't know what to expect. She certainly hadn't considered the possibility that he'd return. At least she hadn't after a week had gone by and not a word. ]

[When Steve hears the all too familiar voice, his brow furrows, his gaze turning in disbelief to the source.

For a moment, he just stares. This isn't the first time he found himself looking at the last person he ever expected to see again. But this situation was different. This wasn't someone he thought dead, or even something he could rationally understand by the logics of home. Here he was, stumbling about in some strange new place, coming face to face with...]


...Peggy? You're-- but... how?

[Not a lot was making sense before this, but now he's even more confused. Not that he isn't glad to see her, because he is! This is just a lot to take in.]
pure_confidence: (cheesed off)

[personal profile] pure_confidence 2014-11-19 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, yes well. That would require a bit of an explanation, wouldn't it?

[ She flashed a distracted smile and then took a step forward only to feel something give against her feet. Stopping, she glanced down and then bent at the knee to scoop up her discard purse, fumbling at the handles in her haste. ]

Perhaps we should go somewhere a bit more quiet then this. The others there will have plenty to discuss on their own, I'm sure.

[ she gave him another glance, worrying at her lip a little because there was something a little bit off about this Steve, but... No, it was just like the other one, but if that was the case, why was he so surprised?

She gestured off to the side. ]
There's a cafe nearby; would that suit?

[personal profile] savesthedance 2014-11-21 12:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's not so much her that's surprising, it's how young she is. Given everything he's just gone through with Bucky, it's just....strange. He can tell she's right in her mind, though. HYDRA definitely crosses his mind, but it doesn't linger there long.

However, he did just witness a "tutor" turn into a monster. He may be outside of the game now, but from what he understood of what he was told, this was all some digitally remade reality anyway. Who was to say a fake Peggy couldn't be possible?

But who was to say they couldn't have uploaded the real Peggy, pulled from a time before he was separated from her?]


Yeah, I-- that'd be great, actually. [Which reminds him! He digs in his pocket and pulls out the coupon he won in the game.] I have a coupon? Is that the same place?

[He doesn't know if this is some kind of a trick, or a dream, or just some weird hallucination, but it's Peggy. The way she's talking, acting, carrying herself...It all feels right. While he's not dropping his guard, not completely, he's taking a chance to at least hear what she has to say.]
pure_confidence: (doubting)

[personal profile] pure_confidence 2014-11-22 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Peggy forced her eyes away from the living, breathing, visage in front of her with great reluctance only to let her face crease immediately into a frown. ]

Don't be silly. That place doesn't even serve real tea. I had a place a little further from here in mind, actually, so long as you don't mind the staff in costume. In fact, there might even be a little bit of singing and dancing involved, if we're lucky. It's not quite so dissimilar to your days as a dancing monkey.

[ a brief smile flashed across her face for a brief moment before she remembered she was supposed to be explaining to him all the trials and tribulations of this new life. Especially considering she had her suspicions that he didn't remember his previous visit to this colony, however brief it was. And yes Steve, she is planning to take you to the cosplay cafe. At least the service was decent. ]

Costumes? [He fights back a light smirk, all too aware of what costuming was in modern days. People dressing up as their favorite heroes and meeting at conventions were a rather popular thing. But it's her comment about his "dancing monkey" days that leads to him relaxing, at least somewhat. He knows his days doing shows is well known, but it was Peggy that saw the drawing, that said those words when no one else was around.

If this was a trick, how would someone else know those exact words?]


As long as it's not me that has to, I'm in. [It only takes him a few paces to reach the door, opening it and gesturing out it.] After you?

[It's not like he really knows where he's going, anyway. But he's ready to get out of this building and have a look around too. He doesn't know the full extent of what he's facing and he's ready to fix that. And if it means time with Peggy... well, it could be worse.]

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

Unless you've decided to accept a job at the cafe, you should be quite safe. [ for now ]

[ Stepping out into the street, she breathed in, settling her nerves and reminding herself that, for the moment, this was business and nothing at all like a date. It was just coffee, after all. Nodding (mentally) to herself, she turned, waiting for Steve to follow her. ]

Have you been well? I would ask what the last thing you remember was, but I have a feeling it's not something I'd be entirely familiar with.

[ The clothing gives at least a little bit of that away and the rest is, quite simply, experience. She had been one of the first to arrive in this place not too long ago. ]
savesthedance: (pic#3457674)

[personal profile] savesthedance 2014-12-15 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe not that safe. I'll be helping with the patrol unit. [He joking, since he's honestly doubting that will require colorful uniforms, but he's suddenly grateful he didn't get stuck with a job like working at the cafe.

He followed, putting his hands in his pockets after he stepped through the door. He had been watching her carefully, and he can sense her nerves. That's not super surprising, they danced around each other for a while, but there's something she doesn't say that does lead to some confusion.]


You'd be right, but you...don't seem surprised? [He's getting that timelines aren't straight here, but shouldn't she be thinking he's dead? Or has that not happened for her yet? But even if it hadn't, he doesn't exactly look like someone that's walked out of the 1940s, either. So that begs the question: how long as she been here?]

[ooc: hey, i'm no better! i'll backtag forever <3]

pure_confidence: (uncertain)

[personal profile] pure_confidence 2014-12-17 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
You might be in for a surprise. You haven't tasted the menu at McCeres. It was positively deadly to a few of us at the beginning.

[ and she's not actually exaggerating, but his question does give her some pause as she pursed her lips, walking steadily down the street as she considered how best to share the news. But, alas, there was no easy method to it. Speaking bluntly, she watched his profile on principle and not because she was infatuated. Not at all. ]

And I'm not surprised. I've been here the odd week or two [ or more ] already.

[ she gave him a small smile. ]

And I'm afraid we weren't entirely on the best of terms when we parted ways last time. You still aren't in the habit of letting random women kiss you, are you?

[ She can say that with a smile now, but it still hurt just a little. She had thought him to be a better man than that and, perhaps, she had thought she was a better woman too. Neither one had exactly been at their best that day. ]

[personal profile] savesthedance 2014-12-29 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
Hope you don't mean that literally. [He's assuming this McCeres place is supposed to be similar to McDonalds, at least it sounds like it might be, and if that's the case, he imagines the food isn't the best quality. But deadly? He's really hoping she's exaggerating.]

I noticed that much. [He had come to realize there were several people that had been there longer than others, and it wasn't hard to tell Peggy was among an earlier group. But it was nice to have that confirmed. Maybe she would know more than some of the others about this mess they were in.

Her comment, though-- he's torn. There's a light laugh as he rubs under his nose, but it fades quickly. And not just because, yes, that still happened. Of all the times, she came from then?]


So you don't.. [He clears his throat now, unsure of how to proceed.] That... it's been a while, since that. For me, I mean.
pure_confidence: (there's cheeseballs for breakfast?)

[personal profile] pure_confidence 2015-01-14 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ and if only that awkward silence didn't persist on persisting but she sucked in a breath and exhaled, soldiering through it like she had always done. It was best to get it out of the way anyway, rather than letting it be the white elephant in the room. ]

Yes, I had rather gathered that. I don't suppose you'd like to tell me just how much time has passed?

[ his clothing was a little telling after all, but she relented a little and simply answered his other question with a somewhat lopsided smile. ]

And while I confess it wasn't actually deadly, it did leave more than a few men and women laid up at the hospital. Supposedly the only cure was to be found in ViViD which is still a little strange to me. Did you happen to get the crash course, already?
