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!


harepiece: (that's a surprise)

[WELL HE'S SEMI-WRONG BUT ALSO NOT ENTIRELY WRONG but it's also a weird topic... Oz would be glad to know that any awkward questions have been succinctly avoided.]

Cynbel, then! [A decisive nod!] I only just got here. I mean - it's the strangest thing, because I know that I went to some sort of festival where I met a few people here... But that's the last thing I remember before waking up in this building. [This fake virtual reality building...]
changeably: (This will never last)

[personal profile] changeably 2014-12-13 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[IT'S RUDE TO ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS ON A FIRST MEETING, so it's fine... He'll just bug Oz for the answers later. /winkwink]

Oh, that festival! I do remember that, but it was over a week ago... Are you sure you remember nothing in between then and now?

[Oz gets a slightly concerned look then, because Cynbel needs to know if he needs to bring this guy to a hospital for whacking his head really hard or not.]
harepiece: (thrown to the waters)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-12-13 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[GOD......

But yes good awkward second meetings, it's gonna happen. Oz, to his credit, seems alarmingly unsurprised by the fact that he's somehow lost a week somewhere.]


No, I don't remember anything at all. [But hey, a week is better than ten years!] But you do?
changeably: (Let the sleep begin)

[personal profile] changeably 2014-12-14 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Awkward meetings forever, heck yeah. Cynbel nods at the question, still walking at a steady pace.]

Oh, yes, though nothing terribly exciting has happened in-between now and then. Perhaps you forgot deliberately, because it was so boring?

[He doesn't look like he believes that, though.]
harepiece: (always cheats at uno)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-12-14 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
[OZ ALSO DOES NOT SEEM TO THINK THAT'S THE CASE but he does smile at the suggestion, like it's a well-appreciated joke.]

It would have had to be really boring, in that case! The kind of boring that almost loops back around until it becomes impressive, right?
changeably: (Open eyes adjusting to the dark)

[personal profile] changeably 2014-12-15 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Cynbel smiles back, because Oz's cheer is a little infectious, but he tries to cover it with the back of his hand.]

If it's that boring, then being impressive is hardly going to make it any more bearable, don't you think?
harepiece: (humble gentlemen)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-12-15 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[LET THE LAUGHTER FLY. Oz certainly is, at least... He feels no need to contain himself, good job Oz.]

Maybe! Or maybe it'll actually become interesting. I wouldn't mind seeing something like that, actually... What do you think?
changeably: (It's so beautiful)

[personal profile] changeably 2014-12-16 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
[BUT MANNERS... Actually, nah, screw manners. He'll just keep giggling behind his hand.]

Only if it doesn't last very long, in the case that it doesn't become interesting. There's only so much amusement to be had, when it comes to something like that!
harepiece: (what a tweest!!)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-12-16 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, so you're saying that it might actually loop back around to being boring again? We're really running the full circle now, aren't we?

[THE CIRCLE OF LIFE

or boredom, at least?! Apparently they're on the road to becoming Umineko witches.]
changeably: (And I don't feel so bright)

[personal profile] changeably 2014-12-17 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[CynBeatrice and OzBeatrice would be terrible...]

Indeed! But going around in circles is even more boring, so it would be best to find something else to do before it goes that far, don't you think?

[He shrugs, waving a hand as he keeps walking. Almost there!!]
harepiece: (it's like this)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-12-17 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[THEY WOULD BE ACTUAL HELLIONS FROM ACTUAL HELL...]

You do have a point! You must have a lot of practice in combating boredom.

[Is it because you are always bored, Cynbel...!! But Oz seems to notice that they're drawing close, since he'd gotten a good look at the map, and he bounces excitedly to his toes.]

Oh—! It's right up ahead, isn't it? Is that it?
changeably: (The growlin' of machinery)

[personal profile] changeably 2014-12-18 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[BUT THOSE ARE THE BEST KIND OF HELLIONS...]

Oh, not at all! I just have practice dealing with boring people.

[The other kind is Apollo!! Cynbel is actually good at entertaining himself in ways that don't always endanger innocent people, thank you very much.

Cynbel turns his head to watch where he's going, and they're almost on top of the exit by then. He stops, double-checking the map before dismissing it for good.
]

Yes, this is it! From here, it's very simple to leave.
harepiece: (but idiots can't catch colds!)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-12-18 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[BASICALLY but those are also the kinds who are most prone to bad-ending...]

Ah, really? That sounds like some bad luck.

[Poor Cynbel, stuck dealing with boring people when he is so far from boring...! But he'll clap his hands together at that, looking quite delighted. TIME TO LEAVE THIS SHITTY SCHOOL.]

Are you going to come?
changeably: (I sit and drink champagne)

[personal profile] changeably 2014-12-18 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's okay, ViViD deaths don't count as real deaths, anyway!]

Of course! Why would I stay and put myself in further danger?

[He does not want to be bug food, and he's no hero. He's totally going to bail.]
harepiece: (muffled 80s power balads)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-12-19 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[LOOK he's just checking because like 99% of the people he knows would totally stick around to be a hero. Dumb shonens...]

Just wondering! Let's get out of this place, then.

[He's already done about as much clearing and searching as he can manage, anyway. ...And if he does get the dumb shonen urge to jump back in - well, he knows the way out now!]
changeably: (Some honey on a spoon)

[personal profile] changeably 2014-12-21 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cynbel is not that kind of shounen. He'd leave half of Cerealia for dead if it came down to saving himself or them, including Oz. Sorry!!]

Now, to leave, you just step in, and—!

[He steps into the log out spot, and before he can finish his sentence, he's gone. Better move fast or get left behind, Oz!]
harepiece: (hmmm)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-12-21 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[CYNBEL... It's okay though since like half of Oz's friends are turboshonens like he is and the other half are people like Ciel. Cynbel will fit right in...

BUT OH, MAGIC. MAGIC?? Oz glances around briefly in Ye Olde Confusion for a second.]


Ah— wait! Just step in?! [STEP IN TO WHAT?? He's gonna look like a doof because there only seems to be air here!! But he'll give it a try anyway and-

pop out in Cerealia right next to Cynbel.]


...Oh.
changeably: (Bright the sun)

[personal profile] changeably 2014-12-24 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[We are never going to have positive CR that isn't tainted with someone being an absolute shithead, are we?

But man, for some kind of gardening badass, Oz is pretty dorky. Cynbel laughs when Oz appears, shaking his head at his expression.
]

You see?

[Cynbel moves backwards, turning to face Oz.]

I told you it was simple!
harepiece: (that's a surprise)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-12-24 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[NOPE... This is our rp albatross to carry.]

It is! That's a lot easier than I thought it would be. It was just like stepping through a door...

[Oz is tempted to wave his hand through the air he just appeared from, but luckily his dumb dorkishness does not extend (all the time) to things that might end up dragging him back into weird hell vortexes.]
changeably: (There will be a price to pay)

[personal profile] changeably 2014-12-26 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[The Rime of the Ancient RPers...]

It is! It's much better than when I arrived, and I couldn't leave at all on my own. They play these terrible pranks on every new group, and it's getting to be quite old.

[Only somebody used to death being a real stake in "pranks" would call it that, but hey, Cynbel calls it like he sees it.]
harepiece: (nobody raise your voices)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-12-26 09:52 am (UTC)(link)
[There doesn't seem to be any protest present to the word prank here... But that probably isn't too surprising considering the lengths Oz goes to for his pranks. What a charming kid!!]

Every group? [...] How many have there been?

[That actually seems kind of concerning, and his expression reflects the sentiment.]
changeably: (To shed my morning tears)

[personal profile] changeably 2014-12-27 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
[What a good guy. Cynbel has clearly found a very trustworthy, like-minded friend, right up until danger arrives and it all goes to hell. Oops.]

Since I arrived?

[He tilts his head, looking away from Oz as he tries to remember.]

Oh, once every so many weeks, and it's been... Over a month since then, now that I think on it. That's at least three groups, counting my own and yours.
harepiece: (a lovely tune)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-12-27 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Almost 100%...! At least Cynbel's already had a preview of how Oz handles danger: loudly and by bowling in its direction immediately with gardening tools.

He definitely looks surprised to hear that, though. His last stint was just a little over a week, so comparatively, Cerealia's average stay seems a lot longer.]


Three, at least? And at a rate like that... [HM.] It's a little more than I was expecting.
changeably: (This will never last)

[personal profile] changeably 2014-12-28 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[And this is why Oz is now the meatshield friend.]

There are a few dozen of us around now, I think.

[He stares at Oz, confused. How can you even have a vague idea of this kind of thing before you hear it? It's nothing like he's experienced before, so he doesn't see how Oz could have before coming here.]

But what were you expecting, then? I had none myself, considering I barely knew what I was getting into in the first place.
harepiece: (that's a surprise)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-12-28 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Oh— [AN AWKWARD CONVERSATIONAL POINT. It's his own fault that he let it slip, but it's not like he's a paranoid little shit like SOME PEOPLE (named Ciel) either. Keeping his experience hushed isn't a high priority for him.]

I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting, but something... shorter, maybe? I came from a place that wasn't my home either, but I was only there for a week. It sounds like I'll be here for a lot longer.

[He seems to be taking it in stride, though...]
