▶ 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. ]

no subject
Now what will they find rummaging through these? If there are any more weird cat posters here, she's taking that.]
no subject
They are the typical papers you would expect to find in an employee's desk; bits of check stubs, papers on expectations, the employee handbook nobody ever actually reads...the usual.
The computers as well are a veritable mess; it would be a challenge to find anything salvageable with how wrecked everything is.
Still, with the desks removed out of their way, they now have a clear path to a door that's still slightly ajar. ]
no subject
Pearl tidies up some of the papers and other junk, piling it aside for whoever has to clean up to find. ]
Oh, there's another door over there.
[ She'll just go over and carefully open it farther to get a peek inside. ]
no subject
we want more cat postersAi carefully has the tables set down and pushed against the wall after Pearl points out the door.]
Then lets check that out too. Might as well get a wider sweep of the area.
no subject
[ She comes up behind Pearl, ready to pull her out of harm's way if something does barrel through. She would never hear the end of it from Phoenix Wright if she got hurt. ]
▶ FINAL CHECKPOINT.SAV
. . . CONTINUING TOUR.EXE. . .
[ Peeking inside the room reveals a delicate, detailed room-wide hologram of what appears to be a map. It's a map of Tellus, in fact, made clear by the little colony nestled amidst the jungle and labeled "Cerealia". But beyond that, the planet is large; there are lakes, mountains and jungles (especially jungles, the map is heavily forested except for at the tops of the mountains), and a large ocean not far from the Cerealia colony (but, of course, that's to scale, so who knows how far it really is).
Of course, there's also the monster in there, clawed fingers gently wrapped around an unconscious technician.
It looks up at them. And then it moves towards them. ]
no subject
[ what the actual heck ]
Um... a person...? [ wait uh that is not a ] Oh dear.
no subject
But then her eyes moved and she saw the... thing. Person? No, it was a monster. Or alien. ]
That isn't a person, I think we have run...!
no subject
Miss Aura, move back! I'll block the door!
[Two other damaged, but heavy tables move through the air thanks to Ai's manipulation and stack on top of each other, right in front of the door. That may not be enough to deter whatever the hell that thing is, but Ai prefers a running start to none.]
Let's run, now!
no subject
[ Time to make for the elevator and try not to die. ]
no subject
[ She gestures for Ai to follow her, making sure Pearl goes ahead. It's a rush to get back to the elevator. ]
no subject
40!!
[And she slams her palm against the remaining lit up button. Those doors better close quick!]
no subject
We are on a schedule today, ladies, and it's time for us to end this tour. I hope you all had a good time.
[ After that, the doors will close to a disappointed looking robot receptionist and they will slowly make their way back down to the first floor. The jazz is still playing from the speakers. ]
no subject
Which means that she's going to sink to the floor again and start to wail, out of anger and relief. ]
I don't understand this place!
no subject
I'm confused...
[ Mosley what is your deal... ]
I feel like we're supposed to know what just happened but someone forgot to tell us.
no subject
Oh, hi Mosley-...
Oh, bye... Mosley...]
... Miss Aura, you still have the flash drive, don't you?
no subject
▶ END TOUR.EXE
. . . STARTING RESET.EXE. . .
[ Mosley will proceed to lead them out the elevator and to the front doors, where he'll unceremoniously see them out without a nother word. Seems he's feeling a little grumpy today, can't imagine why. And then they'll be free to go as they please. Also they didn't get any souvenirs, he saw that stolen cat poster, okay.
And when they make it home, 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.
They'll still have the cat poster and flash drive though! Congrats! ]
