//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!

[springful]

I see... [Except not really there are so many questions. She's already asked him so much though, and she'd feel bad if all she did after he helped her so much was play twenty questions. It'll be repeating herself a bit, but she bows slightly and gives a small smile.]

But thank you so much for all of your help, sir. You saved me twice in there.

[deontology]

[Well, she's polite...which is a bit more along the lines of what he's used to back home, instead of all of these crazy foreign people. He doesn't bow in return, but he does incline his head in acknowledgement.]

It was no trouble. To immediately place newcomers into danger is not only uncalled for, but also unfair.

[She might be competent any other time, who knows--it's hard to be competent when you're immediately tossed into that sort of situation without somewhat expecting it.]

I'm aware you must be confused, but I won't have any of the answers you're looking for. [Sadly... still, he'll at least lay it all out pretty bluntly.]

[springful]

[Being polite is the least she can do!! And yeah, as unfortunate as that is to hear, at least she knows.]

It's alright, I understand. I'll just try asking for answers elsewhere. [And probably not get a lot of answers oops... But now that she's out of danger, there's people she needs to look for.] If you'll excuse me then, and again, thank you!

[deontology]

[He has no problems with excusing her, though it does strike him that if she needs help again, it might help to introduce himself.

So he nods in response, but tacks on--]

My name is Abe no Sousei. [just...don't mind the ridiculously outdated naming scheme.] If there are further problems, do not be afraid to contact me.

[Problems of the sort of...giant evil bugs. Sousei takes "putting a dent in CERES' day" very seriously.]

[springful]

[Hella outdated tbh... Given how weird everything else has been though, she almost wonders if he's from the past or something like that. But no, that'd just be too crazy, right??]

I'll be sure to keep that in mind. [Whether she actually takes him up on it or not is another question... It's better not to bother people!! Even for problems of the giant bug variety...... That aside though.] And my name is Sakura Matou. Until next time.

[And with another polite nod, she'll be off.]
