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!


immobileyes: (I hate them)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-18 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ No, but she doesn't want to admit it. But... ]

I... I don't know what to do if they're not.
duad: (all the money or the simple life honey)

[personal profile] duad 2014-11-18 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
My friends aren't here either. [ She links her fingers together, hoping that it'll make the girl feel less shy. ] I miss them, but... this place is important to me too. For a lotta reasons.
immobileyes: (Let's look at the door)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-18 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Important...? [ ... Yeah, the gesture helps. ] Even though this isn't... where your friends are?
duad: (bohemian like you)

[personal profile] duad 2014-11-18 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She nods, but remembers she might not be able to see it entirely. ]

Yeah. I—I mean, I'd give anything to see them again, but... [ A smile rises on her face. ] This place isn't perfect, but it's done a whole lot for me. It gave me a second chance and I'm grateful for that.
immobileyes: (Determination at 45%)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-18 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
... It sounds like you've been through a lot.
duad: (we used to be friends)

[personal profile] duad 2014-11-18 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[ She blinks in surprise. After what happened in that store, she's not sure if she wants to talk about what's gone on or not. She wants to talk about it, but who can she talk about it with? Her music can only say so much and... she misses the honest talks she had with Kimber — the one person who understood her entirely.

Her eyes fall to the ground. ]


N— Yeah... I guess I kinda have... and I'm still figuring out what to do about it.
immobileyes: (I'm too old for this)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-18 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
...

I-if you have time, then... [ and Mary finally steps out, even though she's clutching at the folds of her dress. ] I think you can figure it out slowly.
duad: (i am sound)

[personal profile] duad 2014-11-18 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She smiles, glad to see that she's no longer hiding away in fear. Mary nods. ]

Yeah. I'm not gonna let what happened happen again and I'm not gonna rush anything either. [ She thinks of her life as a Misfit where she hardly had any time to really think about her feelings unless she was at her home, away from the others. She doesn't have to worry about hiding them here or even acting like they don't exist at all. She loves the Misfits like sisters, but the opportunity to reflect once in awhile without it backfiring on her is... nice. ] Maybe there's somethin' here for you too.
immobileyes: (The prelude to a concussion)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-18 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know... [ slowly, she shakes her head. ] I'm useless, and I... don't really know what to do in a place I don't know, by myself--
duad: (wasp in the lotus)

[personal profile] duad 2014-11-18 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, even if you think you're useless, you're not. It took me awhile to realize that myself. I'm still learning it!

[ She gently chuckles, then returns to a warm smile. ]

I really didn't know what to do either when I got here. Sometimes I still don't when it comes to those ViViD things and our phones or whatever, but I just stuck with what I know best: music. So... I decided to play nights at a bar.
immobileyes: (Jeremiah was a bullfrog!)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-18 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Music? [ well, now she's intrigued. Like the stuff on Seto's mp3 player? Hi, Mary, you have a captive audience now. ]
duad: (mission control)

[personal profile] duad 2014-11-18 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! I play the keytar, which is a keyboard shaped like a guitar. Since I'm from 1988 and all. I used to be in a band, but now I play solo.

[ That sill feels very weird to say. She's never has to describe herself as being someone from another time. Not even when the Misfits time traveled to the 60s... Regardless, she seems to be far more comfortable talking about music more than anything else. ]

My band would normally play rock, but now I play a lotta electronic and ambient stuff. It fits the mood more, you know?
immobileyes: (The prelude to a concussion)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-19 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ 1988... Mary didn't really follow the years, since time flowed differently to a medusa, but she knows the current year, and--

... This is awfully confusing. ]


Can... [ she swallows her nerves, clasping her hands together. ] Can I listen someday?
duad: (and then i dreamt of yes)

[personal profile] duad 2014-11-19 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course you can. Even if you can't make it into the bar, I'd be more than happy to play somethin' for you!
Edited 2014-11-19 19:06 (UTC)
immobileyes: (And then I left him on the curb)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-20 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you!

[ that definitely brightened her up. ]
duad: (cool as kim deal)

[personal profile] duad 2014-11-20 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, what's your name? So I can call you and let you know when I'm free.
immobileyes: The following shall be known as I will never use bloopers as keywords again (That's the end)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-21 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
It's Mary... [ yes, what a fine name for shy people. ]
