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!"

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.

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!

[ LOOK, he does know quite a lot about those blatantly hypersexualized aliens — in fact, much more about their anatomy than the average constituent ought to ever humanly learn, what with all their ridiculous posturing and soulful, condolent gazes, but addressing it as psychological trauma is five kinds of distasteful. He doesn't cower, never cowers, and one day this obstinance might actually become a point of contention (ha, ha) — but for now he's sitting on one of the various tables, head down, possibly attempting to emulate some form of catatonia.

Disgruntled by the (kind, courteous, unnecessary) offer, he doesn't bother raising his head, only exhaling sharply in return. ]

No, it has bugs in it.

Bugs? I had no idea...

[That's... disgusting. Reim gives his meal one last disturbed look before glancing at his helpful bug-informant. Then he blinks and looks again, because even with his head down, there's no mistaking that bad attitude and grumpy teenager slouch. Maybe if half the Nightray family hadn't made a habit of invading his office for their own purposes for several years...

Still, he's- surprised, to say the least. If anything about why they're in this place is true, this shouldn't be impossible, but Reim doesn't know how much he believes just yet. After a moment he clears his throat and says, somewhat awkwardly,]

Elliot Nightray?

I suggest discarding it immediately.

[ Elliot already had an entire conversation with America about the validity of including mechanical bugs with cheap, oil-saturated hamburgers, he doesn't even want to get into the technicalities of hygiene and what could very well account for food poisoning.

Anyways, he's tired and in no mood for some tearful heart-to-heart over how many separate occasions he's used Reim's office as a base of operations, so even when his name is called he doesn't react on impulse, but rather in slow increments, staring directly at his journal, of all things, before blinking up at him. ]

... What in the world — what are you doing here?! [ HE CAN ACCEPT OZ BEING HERE, OKAY. WEIRD KID. He probably gouges open separate dimensions in the fabric of space-time with that scythe of his.

But acknowledging that Reim Lunettes, the epitome of mild-mannered practicality, is taking notes about debauched aliens in a fast-food restaurant is kind of like seeing a dead guy revive and ask directions for the nearest supermarket.

To put it bluntly, it stuns the nerves. ]
