//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!

[ an affront to society on every level, even!

russia's eyes track the direction of sousei's gesture, flicking over buildings and lights. they seem to grow slightly less dull; it seems the mcceres had caused him a peculiar kind of tunnel vision, but now...

there's a long and possibly awkward moment as russia continues to look, and then he says: ]

Ah, so you are familiar with the... other options?

[ if you're wondering if russia's about to 'ask' you to be his impromptu tour guide, you'd be right. CAN YOU SHOW HIM THE WORLD, SHINING, SHIMMERING... CERES... ]

[deontology]

[...Sousei certainly doesn't have to be as observant as he is to notice that much..... time for a magic carpet ride, then. He nods once, simply, because the sooner he does this, the less time he'll be wasting.

It's not like he's going to get much done with all of this chaos anyway, probably.]

Yes. It is this way.

[He's going to start walking and assume that Russia's going to come along.]

You have been granted money in their currency already, to begin. [His tone is even, but...well, he doesn't like the bribes either. This place sucks, honestly.]

[nyet]

[ and come along he does, though he falls into step with sousei, rather than trailing behind him. he seems to be dividing his time evenly between glancing around and looking at his new tour guide, as if he's just as interesting as the surrounding buildings—or that he's a walking information dispenser, which... ]

Have I? How kind of them! [ the tone of his voice seems to border on the unhinged, amused and the sarcastic all at once, but also: convenient. he'll say so: ] That is convenient. I was given a list of jobs; I was assuming I would begin earn currency that way.

[deontology]

[That's a little more unhinged than he feels, friend, though otherwise the sentiment is the same. Though Sousei's sarcasm doesn't show, he thinks it's stupid that they're being given all they need to live in a place like this. Do they think that will make them complacent?

Ah well.]

That is the idea, from what I've gathered. They expect us to live within this framework they have provided.
