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!

[ To that, she'll respond with a sheepish smile. ]

I'm still kind of scared, actually.

[He doesn't seem too surprised to hear that, offering an encouraging smile.]

Then you can stand behind me and I'll protect you from that, too. Just grab my hand if you need to, okay?

A-all right... I'll remember that.

[ in before she latches onto him in the next seven seconds. ]

[He will not hold it against her at all, okay... BUT YES, ONWARD AND OUTWARD. Oz will stick close to the walls, keeping an eye out for any further signs of movement and stopping by to open classroom doors. Once they get to the end:]

Hm... I guess we were unlucky enough to be the only ones in here. [UNLESS THE BUG ATE EVERYONE WHO CAME BEFORE THEM but no let's not consider that.]

But... that's good, if everyone else managed to escape, right?

[ yep she's not thinking about bugs eating people. ]

[YEAH... YEAH NEITHER IS HE he totally isn't. There aren't mysterious blood splatters all over the place so surely that is a good sign.]

Right! Let's try the next corridor, then.

Right! [ she echoes, except she will not be as brave because boy is she sticking close to his back. ]

[He doesn't seem to mind, at least... Brave protector of skittish medusas coming through!! And scootin down the next corridor, which also doesn't turn up any people and has Oz pausing in mild confusion.]

...Did everyone go to the other side of the school?

... Did they all escape already?

[ ARE THEY THE ONLY ONES LEFT... ]

No! [...] Maybe? [.....] But that's so weird! I just saw someone only a few minutes ago!

[Now he's worried they just missed the mass LET'S LEAVE memo or something...]

We were left behind...

[ ... WEEEEEEEEEEH... ]

[oh no nO NO WEH-ING. Oz waves his hands around, like that's reassuring at all.]

Don't worry, don't worry! Even if they left, we can't be far behind!

But I don't know how to get out! Are we going to be trapped in here?!

[ OZ THIS IS NOT HOW SHE WANTS TO DIE ]

We aren't going to be trapped here! [HE IS SOUNDING SO DETERMINED RIGHT NOW even though he also doesn't know how to leave...]

Look! Let's just go back the way we came! Where there's an entrance there's an exit, right?

I-I hope so... [ ABOUT-FACE!!! ]

[ABOUT-FACE INDEED. He'll hold his hand out for Mary again because he wants to book it and he doesn't want her accidentally tripping...]

There's probably a door we overlooked, that's all! I mean, things got really chaotic really fast...

[ She still might trip, but she'll take his hand (in a surprisingly firm grip for a tiny girl). ]

So we should check all of the doors...

[ oh boy. ]

[At least now they'll both trip if one of them does!! wait]

At least... all of the doors that we didn't check before... [Oz didn't check any though so BASICALLY.]

[ Nothing says teamwork like tripping!! ]

Um... I think that's most of them.

...Then let's get started!

[AW YEAH time for mission: open eVERY DOOR.]

Y-yes!

[ ... they'll be at this for awhile. ]

[THEY WILL... But since they did technically kill a bug, by the time they get to the last door, a voucher will be cheerfully spat out into Oz's face!]

Waugh—! What?!

[ DUCKING BEHIND HIM. ]

W-what is it now?!

[PEELING THE PAPER OFF...]

...It's - some sort of advertisement, I think? [Turning it around in his hands and then holding it up over his shoulder so Mary can take a look, too.]

I don't get this place at all...

I don't, either... but it looks like you get free food?
