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!

[Elza frees his own longsword, the black blade slicing through the air before he holds it at an angle, poised and aimed toward those damn monsters. He smiles wryly at the question, not looking over.]

Yeah-- you wouldn't guess it, though, would you? It's amazing what turning into a bug-monster-thing does for your attractiveness.

[A shake of his head and his hand tightens around his sword's hilt.] They're coming, Nesso.
Edited 2014-11-28 17:20 (UTC)
sisconning: (and bow my head)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-11-29 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
It isn't a manner of person I'd met before. I think it may have the wolves beat for ferocity in its other form.

[Seriously even Arles seems less intimidating. He offers Elza a grin in response.] Though since it is a woman, shouldn't this be your strong suit, Elza? Maybe you could charm her to death rather than raise your blade?

[Go. Go flirt with the bug lady, Elza. Save them the battle. But his expression grows serious as he brings his weapon up, ready for the oncoming creatures.]
lionly: (s ↯ the morning waits)

[personal profile] lionly 2014-11-29 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Elza gives him his most dry look, even as he hefts his own sword in preparation.]

That? You know, Nesso... even I have a certain type of woman that I don't really like that much. That kind's usually the kind that turns into a giant bug monster and wants to eat me.

[His tail flicks sharply from side to side.]
sisconning: (it will set you free)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-11-29 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose I can't begrudge you your taste.

[Because yeah, he can see that being a turnoff. That's not too hard to imagine. It turned him off. Then again, so did the forwardness and hitting on in general. All of this is rather, well, moot.

Since now it's combat, and that he can undestand.

When the bug monster breaks through the door, Nesso is in motion towards it, sword brought to bear, flanking to one side of the nearest creature.]
lionly: (c ↯ fake it)

[personal profile] lionly 2014-11-29 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Elza moves at the same time as Nesso, to flank the monster's other side, his sword flicking up. He dodges a swiping appendage--] Watch out, it's got some sharp claw... things!

[And then his black sword cuts through the air, cutting the limb off to a shriek from the monster, blood splattering the blade and the floor as it crashes.]
sisconning: (it will set you free)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-11-30 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[It feels good, to have Elza fighting by his side. Familiar and right, because he's used to having his vice-captain with him, having his back.] Noted!

Its jaws are problematic too!

[Nesso provides helpfully even as he finds what he hopes is a joint, plunging his blade deep inside the creature, a spray of ichor accompanying the thrust, enough of a wound that it brings the creature rearing up, shrieking, as much as bugs can shriek.]
lionly: (c ↯ for a five-minute)

[personal profile] lionly 2014-11-30 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
And so are its lungs! And its face-- and definitely its attitude.

[Elza swings his sword in a whirl, severing another leg, sending it spinning and skipping over the floor as the monster writhes, enraged and in pain. Elza darts about to its front, closer to Nesso, and flips up his longsword.

With a jab, he buries the blade inside of the monster's chest, twisting, cutting deep.]
sisconning: (paint my spirit gold)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-11-30 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
Really the entire package. You're right!

[See, this is nice too, bantering as they go on about fighting. When Elza catches the creature in the chest, Nesso will take his opportunity as well, sword drawn to hack at the thing's head, intending to cleave into it -- and succeeding, all too messily unfortunately.

But still screeching the bug seems to be wavering on its feet.]
lionly: (c ↯ they're clueless about)

[personal profile] lionly 2014-11-30 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Elza dodges the resulting flow of delicious monster blood, twisting his sword deep, deep, pushing it as though hoping to find the monster's heart. That's solve this. When he feels the thing spasm, he jerks his blade back and takes a jumping step backward, shaking the blood from his blade.]

I think with one more, you should be able to fix it altogether, Nesso! Here, I'll get its attention.

[And he does, darting in close and darting away, drawing its eye.]
sisconning: (one foot in sea)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-12-01 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[This is one of his stranger battles, that's for sure. But it still feels reassuring to have Elza there, and he nods at his vice-captain. All right. He'll let Elza distract it, and waste no time in taking his opportunity -- he won't let Elza risk himself long, if he can do anything about it.]

Be careful, Elza!

[But he's down with the plan. And the minute the creature's gaze turns away, Nesso is on the move with his sword, plunging it deep into the creature's chest, twisting, trying to strike some sort of vital place to take the bug down once and for all.]
Edited 2014-12-01 05:51 (UTC)
lionly: (s ↯ things i wanna say)

[personal profile] lionly 2014-12-01 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
No worries, captain!

[Elza ducks any oncoming blows, glancing quick in Nesso's direction as he moves. Runs, drawing its attention with his waving tail and with his lifted hands, his eyebrows furrowed in determination.

It's only when he hears that fleshy sound that comes with Nesso sinking in his blade that he allows himself to dart back out of the way.]
sisconning: (lived unbruised we are friends)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-12-01 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[No worries he says. Nesso always worries, for Elza, for all his men. He doesn't want any of them in danger any more than their jobs make necessary -- though boy do their jobs make it necessary.

But he knows his friend is more than capable. And that faith pays off because now as he yanks his blade back, the bug creature shudders and falls forward. Nesso jogs backward, flicking at least some of the gore from his blade.]


That was the most persistent admirer I've ever seen.
lionly: (f ↯ i want to be number one)

[personal profile] lionly 2014-12-02 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Elza steps forward to meet him, relieved now that the monster is out of the way. He moves to clap a hand at Nesso's arm, at his elbow, looking at him with a more relaxed expression.]

But you dealt with it pretty well.

[You know. With killing and such.] Now that we don't have anything dangerous chasing us... I'm really relieved to see you, Nesso.
sisconning: (this is not the end)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-12-03 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Nesso reaches out as well, hand clapping firmly against Elza's shoulder, squeezing gently. He ducks his head in a nod of acknowledgment.] Only because I had quite a bit of assistance. Even in this it seems we make a good team.

[Nesso's expression softens into a smile.] Likewise. Even if I'm not sure where here is, exactly, I'm happy to have found you.

[Someone he knows he can trust, who has his back. It's important.]
lionly: (c ↯ on anything)

[personal profile] lionly 2014-12-03 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Aren't we always a good team?

[You better not be implying that he doesn't make the best partner at some time!! Elza grips his elbow for another long moment, glancing around with twitching ears, checking the area, before looking back.]

Wherever it are, it sure as hell isn't Weblin. [He shakes his head.] It's not like anywhere in Weblin...
sisconning: (so tame my flesh and fix my eyes)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-12-04 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Nesso grins, squeezing Elza's shoulder once more.] Always partner. I've yet to meet a foe we can't handle.

[Even buggy admirers!] Nowhere like Weblin. Like nowhere I've ever seen at the borders. But if the two of us are here, that can't be a coincidence.

[Right?]
lionly: (s ↯ cause the world might do me in)

[personal profile] lionly 2014-12-04 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Elza looks pleased at that, as usual-- what isn't pleasing about having Nesso tell him something like that? Jeez. He's happy when his captain relies on him and says he can.]

Aa, it can't be. But, Nesso... you were taking your sister from the castle, weren't you? Last time you sent a report...
sisconning: (but man is a giddy thing)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-12-05 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Nesso always relies on him. Elza is his co-captain, most trusted among all his men. And his bro.]

That... [His expression sobers and he nods.] That's right. We'd escaped and had just met up with the wolves. Fiona, Zara and myself. And Julian. [Oh Julian. Poor broken Julian. Anyway.]

But then suddenly I was here, with that strange explanation and... none of it makes sense. I can't find Fiona. I don't know if she's here or not.

[And for that matter.] You were out at the border. [Right?]
lionly: (s ↯ cause I'm giving up again)

[personal profile] lionly 2014-12-05 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Met up with the wolves? Are you serious, Nesso... [Elza clucks his tongue uncertainly, folding both of his arms over his chest. That name is unfamiliar, too, and has him cocking his head.] And this Julian...?

[But then he'll shake his head helplessly. He hasn't seen Fiona, either.]

Aa, your father-- the lord duke, he's safe. So are the little ones; those two hunts. They're all out of Weblin and were waiting for you.
sisconning: (you know me)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-12-07 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
It's a long story. Things aren't what we've been told, Elza. Zodiva... the Garibaldis have been hiding a partial cure. The wolves have the disease too. Fiona wanted to speak with them about helping find a complete cure.

[And what his sister wants, his sister gets.] Julian von Garibaldi, also betrayed by the princes it seems. He's a broken thing, but... [Nesso thinks he's an okay guy beneath it all. Hopefully.

He manages a faint smile.]
You have my gratitude for your help, Elza. For keeping my family safe. [He knew he could count on you, bro.]
lionly: (s ↯ don't ruin it)

[personal profile] lionly 2014-12-07 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
--eh. [Elza's eyes go as round as saucers. If it were anyone but Nesso telling him this, he wouldn't believe it. But since it is... he turns this over in his mind, thinking about what this means for them. For everyone.

The wolf hunts, then...]


Nesso... this is all really true? The princes hiding a cure? If the country knew, then... [Oh dear. He puts his fingers to his temple, frowning, but he glances between the slats of his fingers at Nesso's face.]

You don't need to be grateful for that. It's only natural I'd help you. [He grips at his shoulder. However, are they really safe now? Elza doesn't know. He doesn't know anything.]
sisconning: (like a stone)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-12-08 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
It's all true. And you're right. It would be chaos. But they've used the sickness as an excuse to go after the wolves, to eradicate them from Weblin. Mejojo and Auger... they're... [Insane? Dangerous? Manipulative bastards?

He's not sure he hast he words to describe it. So instead he lets his expression]
I'm grateful nevertheless. Natural or not, I've relied heavily on you lately. I knew there was no way you would let me down. To be able to put my faith in you like that, without hesitation. It's invaluable.

[So accept his gratitude, damn it!]
lionly: (c ↯ for the edge of night)

[personal profile] lionly 2014-12-08 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
They've lost it, [Elza finishes without hesitation. Now, see, he's never exactly liked the cat princes, but at the same time he didn't think they would've gone this far. Not so far as this. And why?

He exhales, putting his fingers to his temple, pushing some of his hair back at the same time. But his gold eyes lower slightly Nesso's words, a smile crooking up one corner of his mouth.]


You know you can always count on me, Nesso. My life's duty is to serve as your vice-captain. [He brings a fist against his own chest, sounding proud.]
sisconning: (you know me)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-12-10 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
They have. They're insane. The two of them. [It's horrifying. Because they are the people in charge of the country, and the things they've done and could still do. It's sobering. And he's a knight of Weblin, sworn to protect and serve the royal family. His thoughts have become entirely treasonous, but he thinks there's quite a good reason for it.

But as Elza says that, he finds himself exhaling a heavy sigh, reachig over to grip at Elza's arm once more.]
Watch those words, Elza. I value your loyalty more than I can explain, but once we return to Weblin, to follow me any long will be tantamount to treason.
lionly: (s ↯ it's all right cause I'm with friend)

[personal profile] lionly 2014-12-10 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Elza's also become treasonous, it seems, but he's fine with that. He's not so loyal to the royalty itself as he is to Nesso. He'll follow Nesso to the ends of the world... cat princes or no cat princes.

But his lips tug up in a smile at the words, his head lightly cocking. His arm shifts within Nesso's grip in order to clasp back at his arm.]


I wouldn't say that unless I intended to follow you wherever you went. Treason or not. My loyalty will always lay with you, no matter what we'd end up fighting. [Not a inch of hesitation, no sir.]
