//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!

[sewayaku]

[ all it takes is meeting them once in a bad situation really... ]

Mm. We have no other choice. [ not that he can see, at least - blindly rebelling would get them nowhere, especially when they have so little understanding of where they are. ] ... Setting that aside, however - are you all right? You weren't injured back there, were you?

[lionly]

Me? No, I managed to pull out of it all right. Not for those monster's lack of trying, though.

[He lightly thumps his own fist against his chest with a wry smile.] And yourself? [They don't look like they managed to take a bite out of him! Which is excellent.]

[sewayaku]

That's good. I'm missing most of my medical supplies, so patching you up wouldn't be easy.

[ as for himself - well, he hates to invite fussing onto himself (fussing is his job), and he's tempted to lie outright. Fortunately, all he does is downplay things... a lot. Wait, is that even better? ]

I was nicked slightly, but I'm all right. It wasn't anything serious.

[lionly]

Do you think that you'll be able to find any here? [Elza glances around. In this strange city...] I suppose it might be difficult to find the same kind that you're used to.

[He assumes that everything here will be of a quality that they're not used to... at all...]

If you're all right, that's good. [He nods slowly, not knowing Zara well enough to realise that he's downplaying things.]

[sewayaku]

[ honestly, he is fine, considering it was all a virtual reality game... but Zara is a doctor and also a man who has no idea what a virtual reality game, so he's not convinced that his wound has magically disappeared. As for the question, he shrugs just slightly, folding his hands on the table. ]

... That is true. But what they have here might be better than what I'm used to, in all honesty. I'll find a way to use it.

[lionly]

I don't know what kind of help I can offer, but...

[Elza smiles.] If there's anything that I can do, just let me know. [He brings his hand lightly to his chest, thumping. He's at your service, Zara!! After all, they're both subordinates (of a kind) of Nesso's.]

[sewayaku]

[ his tight expression relaxes a bit at the friendliness, and he smiles back, though he seems distracted. ]

Thank you. The same goes for me. If the three of us work together, we should be able to figure out a solution.
