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!

... Why? If I wasn't born one--

[ ELZA SHE DOESN'T GET IT. ]

Because you're kind, and... don't a lot of princesses have long hair like yours?

[Yeah no that kind of reason is totally legit. IT'S FINE.]

Is... is that really all the reason you need to defend me?

Edited 2014-11-23 22:39 (UTC)

Certainly. As a knight, it's my duty to defend anyone in trouble, isn't it?

[While he grasps onto her hand with one of his, he brings the other one to his chest, ducking his head in a small bow.] Consider me your servant. I'll make certain that you'll be safe until we can find our way from here.

[ A pause, as she debates this, before she squeezes his hand. ]

... Can't you just be my friend?

Ah.

[Caught off guard by the question, the request, Elza actually blushes. How sweet. What a sweet girl. He smiles, nodding without hesitation.] Certainly. I'd be happy to be your friend.

[ ... Oh, she made him blush. She's not sure whether she's pleased by her sudden mastery of inducing blushes or just happy that she was brave enough to earn a friendship, but either way, she'll smile now. ]

Thank you, Elza!

[Elza shakes his head, giving her hand another squeeze before letting their hands drop between them. His tail is moving again, little twitches back and forth.]

I'm pretty sure that I should be the one thanking you. So thank you, Mary.

[ She nods, slightly-- and then blinks down at his tail. ]

... That ribbon...

Hm? [Elza glances down too and smiles, flicking up his tail lightly to show off the black ribbon tied into a bow.]

Isn't it cute?

It is! I didn't know leavies liked things on their tails.

[Elza laughs, flicking that tail lightly back-and-forth.] I don't know about everyone else, but I do. Some others, like cats or hunts, like jewellery or what-have-you too.

[But his bow is the best.]

Edited 2014-11-24 14:39 (UTC)

I like ribbons better... they're simple, and really cute. [ firm nod. ]

Yours is cute, too. [He gestures at it with a flick of one of his fingers.]

Even more cute than mine, actually. A young lady like yourself can pull it off better than me.

Mm... I think you just need a brighter color.

Really? What would you recommend?

Bright yellow...? Or maybe red?

Something more vivid than my hair, hmm?

[He considers, lifting his free hand up to tug a few strands of his hair.] Maybe next time I go shopping, I might ask you to accompany me. Help me pick out a nice new ribbon.

Edited 2014-11-27 14:36 (UTC)

If I had enough fabric, I could make you one... um, but that's fine! I'd like to help!

You could make one?

I used to sew, to pass the time... although it was mostly adjustments. But this jacket... [ and she indicates the one draped over her shoulders, with the roses. ] I modified it.

You did that? [He hums, impressed.] Hehh. I guess after that, a ribbon would be simpler.

I'm kind of curious to see what you could make.

U-um-- then, if we make it out, please leave it to me!

Then I'll look forward to it.

[He shifts then, glancing back over one shoulder to the door.] And it's when we get out. Because we're definitely going to get out of here.

... Right. When. [ she'll believe him. ]
