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!


sisconning: (it will set you free)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-11-29 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
Right behind you! As soon as I slow it down!

[Nesso manages to call out, in between making a sweeping slash at the bug critter's legs before dodging its jaws (maybe? pincers? either way he's dodging) by tucking himself into a roll and scrambling back to his feet.]

As fast as you can, princess! I'll catch up!
immobileyes: a la Christina Aguilera (DON'T LOOK AT ME)

1/3

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-29 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ She doesn't like it. She doesn't like leaving behind this nice person, who called her a princess even when she'd told him she was more like a monster. She doesn't like the thought that he might get hurt trying to protect her. But until it slows down--

... Slows...

Slows down. ]
immobileyes: (But why would you??)

2/3

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-29 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ Before she can think, before she can talk herself out of it, Mary moves, running, as Nesso had told her.

... But instead, she runs in front of him, her hair flaring out around her as she throws out both her arms. ]


S-stop...
immobileyes: (YOUR FACE ASPLODE)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-29 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
Stop it!!

[ It's shrill, still small, hardly impressive. But her eyes flash from pink to a burning crimson, and the bug stops abruptly. To be precise, it freezes in place, one leg still extended to swipe at the both of them but never reaching its targets. ]
sisconning: (but man is a giddy thing)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-11-29 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Nesso shouts, wordless and startled, when he suddenly has Mary in front of him. His sword stills, frightened that he'll catch her in the process.]

Mary! What are you doing?

[It's frantic, and as he sees the insect creature moving to strike, his arm comes out as best it can, blade raised to defend the two of them from a blow that... never comes.

For just a moment Nesso stares. That... is new. What happened to it? Is that something Mary did? But it's not important to figure out how just now. What really matters is this is the chance they need to escape, right? So without warning, he wraps his free arm around her waist, hefting the poor thing up like a football and taking off at a run.]
immobileyes: (Ke$ha had it right)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-29 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's not too fond of letting her stay on her feet, is he? Mary doesn't have much time for recovery as her feet leave the ground yet again, leaving her to grasp at anything for some kind of purchase.

There isn't much. ]
sisconning: (my heart was never pure)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-11-29 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Her legs look small. That's all. He doesn't want to chance leaving her behind. But for now, yes, running like hell and porting poor Mary along with him. But even as he runs he can't contain his curiosity.]

What happened back there? Did you do that? [Witchcraft?! He'd be more frightened if 1. it had't just saved their lives and 2. his sister hadn't recently been accused of being a witch, which made him rethink many of his preconceived notions of witches in general. Because Fiona can only be associated with good things.]
immobileyes: (I hate them)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-29 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ Bless his siscon tendencies. ]

... I said before... that my eyes were strange. [ she's quiet again, eyes resting on the floor as he runs. ] When I was little, I was told that I couldn't look anyone in the eyes or they'd turn to stone.

I can't really do that, but I can make things stop moving, for a little while. But it's not normal, I know, and it can scare people--
sisconning: (but i'll kneel down)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-11-29 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Is that what she meant by being a monster then? Nesso mulls it over in his head, surprising as that information is. But it's easy enough to come to a decision on.] Something like that... I bet it could be pretty scary. For other people. Probably for you too, I imagine.

[It's not normal so far as he knows, but.] It can also do pretty impressive things. Like save both our lives.

[He glances over even as he runs, finding a door that leads to a stairwell now, darting inside and shutting it behind him before finally setting her down.] So thank you, princess. It looks like you wound up protecting me instead.
immobileyes: (Stamina of .4 seconds)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-29 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
B-Because I didn't want you to die! [ she bursts out now, abruptly teary-eyed, because-- ] But that was really scary!
sisconning: (this is not the end)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-11-30 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Nesso finds himself blinking in surprise at the outburst. Oh. He really did frighten her, didn't he? His expression softens.] I'm sorry I scared you. I guess I should have known it would. But you were really brave.

[He reaches out to settle a hand on her head gently.] Don't look so sad. Pretty girls are much more suited to smiling. [And then, in an attempt to be slightly less of a dork.] I'll be more careful from now on, all right?
immobileyes: The following shall be known as I will never use bloopers as keywords again (That's the end)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-30 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's totally coddling her, isn't he? But she can't bring herself to pout over it right now, so instead she fixes him with a watery stare. ]

Promise.
sisconning: (this is not the end)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-11-30 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
[He is. A little. But it's a pretty traumatic experience for the both of them. His hand ruffles at her hair before smoothing over it as though to apologize for mussing. And then he'll settle his hand against his chest, over his heart.]

You have my word, princess.
immobileyes: (Secretly terrifying)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-30 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ That's a knightly oath-- or one that's close enough to it for Mary to accept it, and she slowly inclines her head in a nod. ]

... G-good. [ And, after a pause, she'll add a little shyly ] I'm glad you're okay.
sisconning: (and i fell heavy into your arms)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-11-30 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Nesso straightens up when it seems his promise is accepted. It is a knightly oath! He's a real knightly guy, most of the time.]

I'm pretty relieved I am too. [He admits with a laugh, before adding, more seriously.] I'm glad you're all right too.
immobileyes: (I'm too old for this)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-30 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
I wasn't worried about me. You said you'd protect me... so I thought I should believe you.
sisconning: (i will wait for you)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-11-30 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. All that belief. Nesso blinks before nodding.] And there's no way I could let down that kind of belief, right? So you can keep believing it, okay?
immobileyes: (Soggy pillows can be nice too)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-11-30 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ It helped that he legit tried to defend her. ]

... Right! [ well, at least he got a smile. ]
sisconning: (but i'll kneel down)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-12-01 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Nesso is going to call that smile a win. Because how could he not? He smiles back, definitely pleased.]

Thank you. And you know, I'll have to see that I make it up to you too, for saving me.
immobileyes: (Let's look at the door)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-12-01 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
... But you've been protecting me. [ isn't that good enough? ]
sisconning: (this is not the end)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-12-01 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose there's that. [But he's a knight, and that's what he's supposed to do! Especially for a sweet girl like Mary. What else would he do?]

So then, shall we call it even then and instead just be friends?
immobileyes: (There's some medusa in there maybe)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2014-12-01 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ Does that mean he'll stop calling her "princess"-- ]

... I'd like that.
sisconning: (there is a design)

[personal profile] sisconning 2014-12-01 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[No that one might stick. Sorry, Mary.]

Good. I would too.

[Making friends and not getting eaten by bugs. It's a pretty good day.]
