//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!

[rollin]

[ don't make him ask for it... ]

How do I turn that "kind of" into a "really"?

[flaredo]

Don't just stand there like a testing dummy?

[rollin]

Got it!

[ His eyes glow red once again as he quickly closes the distance between them, raising a fist engulfed in a red flame-like aura to land his first strike. ]

[flaredo]

[ There it is again-- and Yang brings her arms up to block, a swift flash of white light reflected for just a second before she aims a hard kick at his abdomen. ]

Good to know you're not shy!

[rollin]

Wha— [ There are two reasons for his surprise. One, he was not expecting that light. Two, ] Wh-where'd you get that idea, huh!?

[ He's blushing again...

Yata is fast enough to step back to turn and dodge her kick, which he counters with a punch to her head. It might feel hot, but it doesn't burn. ]

[flaredo]

Your face! That, or-- [ and she's taking that punch, wincing slightly-- but that means he's close enough for her eyes to flash red. When her fist swings up for an uppercut, it'll be noticeably stronger if it connects. And there are flames. ] You've got one hell of a fever!

[rollin]

[ Her eyes turn red and his eyes widen because that's impossible, she isn't HOMRA, she can't be— He barely avoids the blow, but he can feel the strength behind it. And the flames. Of course, after learning this information, the best course of action is to hide his face with his arm in embarrassment. ]

I'm fine! Ugh... If anyone's going to the hospital, it's gonna be you! [ He was going easy on her, but after seeing her fire, he decides to strengthen his own. The flames around his feet intensify as he punctuates his sentence with a kick. ]

[flaredo]

Sorry, but you're going to have to pick a better date spot! [ For all the banter and the light grin on Yang's face, her movements are still quick and controlled. If he's taking this fight seriously, even better, and she can feel the heat crackle past her as she uses her gauntlets to shoot herself up into a flip.

And down she dives again, one fist extended and emitting embers. She'd rather not waste ammunition this time. ]

[rollin]

[ Yata is taking this fight seriously now, make no mistake, but words seem to be more effective at taking him down than fists. The mention of the word "date" earns Yang a groan and a dip of his head. It goes without saying that his so-called fever hasn't gone away. ]

Rrgh... Stop saying shit like that!

[ He shields himself with his arms, a red flame-like aura surging forth to help him absorb the hit and push her back. ]

[flaredo]

[ It'll succeed in driving her back, even if she lands on her feet and saunters closer, hair starting to glow. ]

Aww, what's wrong? I'm not your type?

[rollin]

[ The fire dies down and so does their fight, it seems, but his heart only beats faster as she approaches. Isn't this more dangerous? WAIT, DID HE SAY SOMETHING WRONG? He waves his hands in little panicked circles as he attempts to smooth over his blunder in his own Yata way. ]

Ah, um, no! I mean, yes. I-I mean! You're p... pretty and all, but...

[ He's totally off-guard. ]

[flaredo]

Buuuut...?

[ and now she's leaning in. ]

[rollin]

[ Too close! He leans back, looking down at his feet. He's clearly trembling. ]

B-b-but we just met and all...! So...

[flaredo]

So-- [ and Yang breathes this out. ]

... You shouldn't lower your guard.

[ BEWARE THE RIGHT HOOK. ]

[rollin]

[ AND HE'S DOWN. ]

Ow...

[flaredo]

The winner!

[ complete with pose. ]

[rollin]

Aight, it's you, yeah, I know.

[ He rubs his cheek and his jaw as he sits up, making sure everything is still in place. ]

Damn... Man, you cheated!

[flaredo]

It's not like I seduced you or anything, right?

[ And she'll offer him a hand up. ]

[rollin]

No...

[ Yata reaches for her hand, just about to grasp it until he has second thoughts and retracts his own. He's not ready for that. Instead, he pushes himself up and smooths his shirt, using the action as an excuse to keep his head down and eyes away. ]

You're really strong. ...I'm Yata.

[flaredo]

I'm Yang! You gave me a good fight there, Yata.

[rollin]

Pssh, 'course I did. I'm just a little rusty, that's all. [ Which is partly true, but let's be real. ] I want a rematch! ...soon.

[flaredo]

Maybe when you can look me in the eyes and say it.

1/2

[rollin]

[ Well, that gets him to look up. ]

That's not...!

[rollin]

[ Okay, Yata, breathe. Filled with determination, he clenches his fists. ]

I'm like this now, but I swear I'll get faster and stronger until nothing can stop me! Then I'll beat you for sure! For real! [ And he points dramatically. ] Just watch me!

[ Then, he turns on his heel and runs away... forgetting his skateboard inside McCERES. Just another day in the life of Misaki Yata. ]
