▶ 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. ]

Guys, if we're going to make a break for it we really need to get going. [She eyes the nearest monster nervously and backs towards the center of the slowly constricting ring.] This really isn't the time to argue about who's going to stay behind! LET'S GO ALREADY!
no subject
There's a quiet noise, little more than a beep, and all the monsters collapse to the ground, no longer held together and literally in pieces. From the darkness comes Mosley, dressed as neatly as ever, a tiny device in his hand. He's holding a flashlight in his other hand and he shines it up at them. ]
How in the world did you end up here?
[ He gives a shake of his head and beckons them forward. ]
We're going back to the city now. Do you know how late it's gotten? I've been looking for your group for ages and here you are, arguing about who gets to die first. If you're so eager for death, I can give you some ViViD coupons and you can get plenty of game overs in there. Really. Ridiculous, all of you.
[ He's going to lead them to a small car off to the side and get in the front seat, honking the horn a few times. ]
Hurry up! We haven't got all evening.
[ And then when they all pile in, off they go on a very scenic drive back to the main city. No shounen deaths in this thread! ]
no subject
I am not your uncle!
[ She's about to yell some more but they're all shouting over one another and the monsters are getting closer and this is so completely stupid. She doesn't even care about this people! At all! She's about to just shove them away when --
... It's Mosley. Have a dumbfounded look, Mosley, as he berates them and the monsters go down. Hawke will just... slowly sheathe her sword again and when he urges them towards the cart, she doesn't really argue. She kind of just wants to go home?!
So, yeah. She's taking shotgun. ]
no subject
What the heck kind of tour was that?! We almost died - and you definitely didn't warn us of any potential threats when you made the announcement!
How can we trust you that you'll bring us back to safety when you were the one who got us in this mess in the first place?!
no subject
BUT DANG HE'S NOT GOING TO JUMP ON BOARD QUIETLY, )
What d'ya mean how'd we get out here? Ya left us!
no subject
Forget about that, I want to know how you just switched those monsters off! Were they under your control the whole time!? What kind of sick bastard does this to people!?
▶ END TOUR.EXE
. . . STARTING RESET.EXE. . .
I gave you exactly what was requested: a tour. It isn't my fault that you weren't prepared for it. Nevertheless, those monsters certainly weren't under my control. [ He holds up the small device from earlier. ] This is an EMP, Ms. Briefs. Do learn your science.
[ After that, he falls silent, turning on the golf cart's radio. A fun tune starts to play.
Mosley proceeds to drive them out of the area, not by water but rather through dark buildings and spiral-y alleyways and by the time they make it out into the Research District, it is basically impossible to remember how he got there in the first place. Any injuries sustained will remain and require treatment.
Also he gave everyone a goody bag full of stickers. You're welcome.
As soon as they get home, not long after, all at once, all CereVices will ring and when they're pulled out, each screen will show a certain robot those may remember from the previous event. He stares at them blankly for a while before a slow smile spreads across his face and then screen turns black. A few seconds pass and suddenly, letter by letter, a message is shown on the screen. ]
[ And then the CereVice goes dead. Unfortunately, it'll still be out of service for the next six hours before turning on again and working just like normal after that. Well, except for the fact that any information on the CereVice recorded during the tour is now gone. Whoops. Well, not that this group really got the chance to record much. ]
