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!

You have very good observational skills!

[ which is exactly as much of a dig as it sounds like.

russia himself is not the most tactful guy in the world, and he's used to dealing with even more tactless people—so really, there's nothing to worry about... for the most part. after a short pause, russia's going to turn to face butch head-on, giving him his full and (disturbingly) undivided attention. again, he steers the topic away from himself.

sorry, butch, he's literally the worst conversational partner you could have picked right now.
]

You are American, yes? [ he'd recognize that particular cadence anywhere, not that it truly matters anymore. without giving butch room to reply, he continues: ] The Americans I have met have all been very—patriotic.

So then, when you came here, were you upset when you discovered your home had been destroyed? Your land? Your family and your friends?

I suppose.

[ And there we go again with the newbie ignoring the concern or something.

He's surprised by the guy knowing he's American just after meeting him, though. Surprised enough to actually manage to distract him (at least for a little while) because he's not told anyone here he's American. Rather, he has not mentioned what country he was born in to anyone, and there's only one person here who knows his main alias, too. He just told people he comes from Bolivia, since it's technically not a lie. He was in Bolivia before switching worlds, after all.

He can't claim to be very patriotic, though. ]


Well, first off I ain't sure'f it's my original world they're saying has been destroyed, or if it's the one I was between Bolivia and here.... But yeah, 'course it makes me upset. Not that I've seen my family or most of my friends for years, but none the less, they're still important. If't's the Drif world that's been destroyed, then there's my partner to be concerned about... On the other hand, both me'n him's always lived as if every day's the last, so there's that... [ "There's no tomorrow for the Wild Bunch" he had said on occasions. Since living on the Outlaw Trail could get you killed any day. ] S' that what has y'upset? [ Likely. ]

[ perks of being a nation: determining nationalities easily. well, more easily than should be considered normal.

slowly, listening to butch, russia's expression goes from one of forced cheer to one of sharp interest. after a moment, he responds... truthfully, this time.
]

Yes. Then you know how it feels. My family... and my friends, and my children. They are gone. [ an icy pause. ] At least, I have been told they are, but I am not sure I want to believe it.

[ the evidence is too overwhelming to ignore, though. and russia can feel it, besides—there's something missing that was there before, a connection to the land that he no longer has, as if some invisible tether had been cut.

the mention of bolivia makes russia blink, though; could he have been mistaken? perhaps.
]

Bolivia? [ well, america would know more about that, wouldn't he? then, after absorbing the rest: ] How do you mean, that you were, ah—between worlds?
lovemguns: (yeaah)

[personal profile] lovemguns 2014-12-10 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ How unfair. Butch would have liked a skill like that. It could come in handy.

Children? He's not all that surprised, really. Getting kids at a young age was no uncommon thing. He's curious about how many the guy might have, but that might be a bit unwise to ask at the moment. ]


Yeah. [ He doesn't want to believe it either. ] You don't have t'believe it, that's all up t'you, not anyone else. There ain't anythin' wrong in havin' hope.

[ Even if it might be useless to have. But hope is something that carries people and make them able to push forward, so he thinks it's a good thing to have, none the less.

Oooh, how to explain that? ]


Well, y'see, one day, we ended up in this weird corridor, when we were out doin' stuff in the forest [ it's not a complete lie, that they were out in the wilderness. just..not in a forest. ] everything just was completely different. So, in the corridor was this man wearin' glasses, sittin' behind a desk, and the corridor was filled with doors, an' then he made us go through one'a those doors an' we ended up in a world not at all our own, original one.

[ If he had known about rpgs, he could have called it a jamjar. Because it's a jamjar. ]

It was hella confusin', that.
