//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. [ Remember to apply proper warnings on threads with trigger-y or inappropriate material and do let a mod know if your thread careens off into maiming or canoodling so we can lock the log. ]

//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!

[springful]

Well... I think it would be best if we had an idea of what we were doing before we charged in, at least. [Okay so she's not really good at making plans either (since they tend to blow up in her face like ZOUKEN), and there isn't even much she can do.

But.

IT STILL SEEMS LIKE A BETTER IDEA THAN RUNNING IN AND PUNCHING THINGS..........]

[sagemodes]

...Hm...

[ Crossing his arms, Naruto is going to let out a thoughtful sound as he tried to think of a way to deal with it without rushing in like an idiot. Well, there's always Kagebunshin to mitigate actual damage done to him, but with his state he can maintain around 3 at best for a single Rasengan.

...

Wait. ]

Well, I do have one after all.

[ It's dumb, but it is a plan. ]

[springful]

What is it? [This sounds better than having no plan at least, okay. Sakura just doesn't know what she's in for yet...]

[sagemodes]

We distract them and hit them in the back!

[ The worst part is that he's saying this with the most serious face he can muster.

This is your savior Sakura I'm so sorry. ]

[springful]

[What did Sakura do to deserve getting stuck with these shounens....]

Well, that's... [A little more basic than what she was hoping for, but it's KIND of a plan at least. She'll roll with it.] Alright. I'm not really good at fighting, so maybe we should leave actually hitting it to you.

[sagemodes]

Alright, then, let's go!

[ With that said, Naruto's immediately going to blitz, calling in two of his clones to pin it from the sides as Naruto immediately is going to perform a flying jump kick to it's... Does it even have a face? Either ways, it's going to connect as the two clones grabbing onto it jumped and slammed it down on the ground as Naruto then follows up with a really strong punch, winding it.

Jumping back, Naruto's going to stand besides Sakura protectively, in case the thing gets up and decides to lunge at her! ]

[springful]

[Oh the clones are back?! You know what, Sakura's just not even gonna try to think about this until they're out in the clear. In any case, she stands behind Naruto, tense but ready to run if it becomes necessary. The last thing she wants to be is a burden okok.]

[sagemodes]

[ With that thing reelin' and not even bothering to get at Sakura, Naruto's going to immediately start formin' a Rasengan on his right hand. Sakura's going to feel a slight breeze as the sphere of energy forms a few centimeters above Naruto's outstretched palm. In the span of one second, Naruto's going to disappear in front of Sakura, only to reappear in front of the creature.

And then there's an explosion as the creature's thrown back and smacks a wall, dead, alongside the two clones disappearing into a puff of smoke. ]

Well, that's the end of that one, I guess.

[springful]

[Naruto you're kind of crazy did anyone ever tell you that... But the bug is dead, and frankly, that's all Sakura really cares about right now. She lets out a sigh of relief and nods.]

It seems like it. [In fact, two vouchers for each of them will be popping up, truly confirming that the ordeal is over. Of course, Sakura has no idea that that's what it means, so she's just startled to see coupons pop out of nowhere.] Is this a coupon?

[sagemodes]

Looks like it, at least.

[ Well, reading it over, it seems it's just... ]

Why the heck would they give us a fast-food coupon for killing a worm-thing disguised as a teacher...?

[ this place isn't making any sense at all! ]

[springful]

I guess it's... our reward for it?

[this is starting to feel like some weird, sick game now tbh. before she can think on it further though, vivid starts fading away, sending them into the real world. or well, ceres at least. not that they know that though, so this is even more ?????? now.]

Wait, where are we?!

[sagemodes]

...It looks as if the illusion is breaking, but... I'd at least sense if we were in one just now.

[ but it's getting clear that they're not wherever they were now. ]

Maybe it really was a test.

[springful]

A test for what though... Our strength? [although she sure didn't do much in killing the bug, as much as she hates that.] And it felt very real for an illusion.

[sagemodes]

Strength and teamwork, maybe.

[ ...Man so much of this isn't making any sense even for him why... ]

Anyways, it looks like they want us to get out of here now.

[springful]

I guess so. [Get out to where though? There's other people around at least, all who look about as confused as she feels, but it doesn't help explain where they even are now. Still, there's something even she can do at least, and that's look for people she knows. They have to be here too, right? She's hoping so at least.

So she bows slightly at Naruto, respectful and thankful. He helped her out of a big problem after all.]

I should have said this earlier, but thank you for all your help. You really saved my life earlier.

[sagemodes]

Hey, no problem! It's just normal for someone to save another in need, right?

[ not really... Either ways, there's a grin and a thumbs up from him, seems like he picked up on Sakura's concern. ]

Ya have someone to find in this tangle of people, right? Don't let me hold ya up.

[springful]

[Her smile widens, and she nods; she's glad that he understands.]

I have to go now, but it was nice meeting you.

[sagemodes]

Same here! Good luck with yer friend, alright?

[ well, he's used to being alone anyways so it's nbd for him! ]

[springful]

[if you put it like that, it just sounds sad... ganbatte naruto.]

Thank you! I'll see you again sometime. [And with a bow, she's off.]
