▶ VIDEO.EXE | IC: 1/25
[ The broadcast comes bright and early for those paying attention to their CereVices; the man who appears on the screen is strikingly pale, white-haired and piercingly blue-eyed. He looks young, no more than nineteen or twenty and he's dressed in a crisp black and white suit. He stares into the screen for a long moment, long enough to be, frankly, just a bit uncomfortable.▶ ACTION.EXE | IC: 1/26
And then white eyelashes blink and an awkward, unsure smile spreads across his face. He lifts a hand to fix his tie and speaks. ]
This is Mosley.
[ The smile drops, leaving him with a blank expression once again. ]
CERES has decided in a show of good faith to open our doors to you. I have been given the task of, [ He lifts his hands to emphasize with air quotes. ] "being your tour guide." If that is what I must do, so be it. The lazy worm does not get the apple, after all.
[ He looks down at the tablet on his desk, giving it a few taps and suddenly an icon appears on the bottom right hand of the video. ]
That link will bring you to a listing to make an appointment. You will be given a time. Show up promptly or do not, it is no matter to me. The tour will leave ten minutes after your given time and that will be that. Tours will only last a few hours so you needn't worry about the rest of your day. You will certainly return home in time to catch the latest episode of [ Air quotes again. ] "Banana is the New Black." I hear there's going to be a cliffhanger!
[ A pause and he looks oddly thoughtful. ]
I suppose you could also steal it off the internet? [ Blank again. ] Which would be wrong. Our lawyers will contact you if you do that. Do not.
[ And then another of those awkward smiles before quickly turning into something a bit startled and he taps his tablet again, ending the video. Replies to this feed have been disabled, unfortunately. Seems like someone isn't feeling very chatty. It's a miracle. ]
[ The next day, that Monday, those who take Mosley up on his offer will find that him standing there right in front of the main CERES office building, waiting. It’s with that same disconcerting smile that he unlocks the door and ushers them in.
Welcome, all of you, to our lovely CERES!
The group will find themselves standing in a lobby. Clean white walls and floors, a bright blue rug leading towards the elevators on the far wall, and a white reception counter. At the counter are two CERES robots answering calls and directing any visitors (though the lobby seems quite empty today) and on the wall behind them is a hologram of the CERES logo for all to see. Mosley stands in the center of the carpet in his usual suit and claps his hands together, putting on a smile. ]
Welcome to CERES.
[ And then the smile drops. Voice flat, he continues. ]
There has been... talk over the past few months that we at CERES have not been working 24/7 to help you, our clientele, return to your homes safely and soundly. There has also been... talk that we do not do anything. That this entire company is a farce, which is honestly quite hurtful to both me and the other hardworking staff at this company. Mr. Vincere had his way of running this place but Ms. Recreare is fond of a more hands on approach. We want to share that approach with you.
[ He spreads his hands to indicate to the building around them. ]
CERES has many fingers in many jars and they've all been sealed tight for a while. We would like to open those jars. So once again, welcome to CERES and please follow me.
[ After that, Mosley turns and begins to lead the group off. ]

If there are any questions, feel free to ask them here. You are welcome to plot with your groupmates by using the ooc top level comments linked above. Thank you!
no subject
I suppose. [huh, this building looks familiar] Sure wish we knew some dates, though. It would be nice to know how old Cerealia was, in relation to the alien invasions, and the present.
no subject
We weren't expecting the earthquakes when we got here, but the planet seems to suffer from them a lot... or, something like that. I don't think there were any before we started building, but it may not have been earthquake season.
Ugh, I hate this place, I want to go home.
But either way, we'll just have to rebuild, I guess.
[ As for Yang and England, they seem to be stuck; they can follow the unbroken road, but the debris makes it incredibly hard to get anywhere. ]
no subject
[ And yet they're still stuck here. Yang sighs-- and then promptly grimaces as another bit of debris blocks her path. To backtrack and go around, or... ]
... You know, I could probably blow this up.
[ Yang, no. ]
no subject
but wait...]
You have the power to do that?
[England, no. don't encourage the teen to blow stuff up]
no subject
[ Debris does fly, after all, and she doesn't want to knock him out. That would be silly. ]
no subject
too bad the could not have done it more quietly]
no subject
no subject
that.
is so cool.
England wants a weapon like that. or is it an ability? he's not sure. whatever it is, Yang's all right in his book.
when the dust has cleared, he comes back out to rejoin her, and to see what is beyond]
Fantastic work, miss Yang! I've only seen things like that done in the pictures!
▶ FINAL CHECKPOINT.SAV
. . . CONTINUING TOUR.EXE. . .
[ The buildings in their path are properly destructed by Yang's path of destruction, and what shows beyond is... empty, blank, rippling coded space. Whoops, seems like you broke the diary! The intern never saw what was beyond all of that debris and destruction, after all, so now there's just the underlying code.
Of course, you could muck about here if you wanted to, or you can turn back. Either way, make a decision fast, because it seems as though being this code is not treating Yang and England's code too well; it'll start to get harder and harder to breathe, even as the edges of their bodies start to blur around the edges. ]
no subject
Well.
That's just great. C'mon, intern, you could have manned up and beaten up some debris and continued talking, but nooooo...
She gives it a good, long look anyway, turning back to England with a sigh that... may have been too heavy, because it leaves her a little light-headed. ]
Well, what now?
no subject
I suppose we could... [he moves to put his hands on his hips at that moment and notices how strange his arms look. all blurry? wait... something is happening to them]
We should leave.
no subject
The fact that it doesn't look lustrous and solid but alarmingly fuzzy seems to decide her more than the fact that drawing a breath is taking more of an effort than it should. ]
... Yeah. Let's go.
no subject
We must have missed something back there. [England tries to breathe deeply once they get away from the blank space. ugh, headache]
no subject
[ But she's a little disappointed, too. Not even a fun fight this time, just buildings falling and losing her breath. Awww, man. ]
no subject
So, July was earthquakes. And we couldn't find anything else. [it looks like they are back where they started now. England moves a few different places around the area, trying to see if he can trigger another scene, or an exit] Somehow, I feel that answer won't satisfy the others.
no subject
It's for sure now. We're sure that the earthquakes haven't been caused by natural causes. Er, well, not the natural causes we're familiar with, anyway. Nothing like that could cause anything this big --
[ And on the word big, there's a second earthquake, even more groundbreaking and wrenching than before. If nothing else, it'll send them, and the debris Yang created, flying all over the place, extremely dangerously. ]
no subject
Normally, she'd be prepared, or at least grab onto England again, but there's no warning tremor this time, just something large and painful colliding with her head and the ground itself flinging her up and welcoming her back a little further away. She'll remember to at least activate her aura so nothing falls on top of her once she's had a legit crash landing, but that leaves... ]
Arthur?!
[ It mostly emerges as a groan, though. Debris sure got its revenge. ]
no subject
England went off flying in a completely opposite direction from Yang, and he has no aura to cushion his fall. thankfully, he's fairly resilient, so he doesn't break in half. but he sure does hit the wall hard.
it's then that he's reminded of his immortality. when he blacks out for that brief moment, he sees America fading away into nothingness. That's right, we can die here, he thinks. he should have been more careful]
...?
[Yang's voice is muffled by a loud ringing in his ears. he's all right, he wants to tell her, but the words don't come right away. he's in a daze, staring at the cloud of dust that was kicked up]
no subject
Unfortunately for them, it dumps them right on top of the rest of their group (and also the cheese plate), injuries still intact from the earthquake experience. ]
