▶ 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.

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. ]

[ Ding! Once everyone is inside, the elevator will slowly rise up to the 40th floor. Soft jazzy elevator music plays and everything seems pretty normal for now. That monster? Is not chasing you. When the girls finally arrive at the floor, the door will open and there will be one Mosley there, checking his watch. If you look behind him, there is a robot at a reception desk who gives them an eager wave, arm going high and sailing side to side while its grin is bright. Mosley pays them no mind and when he looks up from his watch, he holds up a finger before stepping into the elevator and pressing the first floor. It seems all the lights are on now, how strange. ]

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. ]

[ Aura had sunk to the floor of the elevator once the doors had closed shut and was two seconds to beating Mosley herself with her fists before the doors closed and it started descending.

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!

[ Pearl was backed into the corner after escaping the monster, and now she just... stares. What. ]

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.

[Ai's hand is over her chest, as if trying to steady her very quick heartbeat that hasn't stopped since escaped Floor 22.

Oh, hi Mosley-...

Oh, bye... Mosley...
]

... Miss Aura, you still have the flash drive, don't you?
roboticists: (⧧ i am lady stardust)

[ Give her a second Ai, but after a long moment - she holds up the flash drive and cat poster. ]
