▶ 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
It lashes out, throwing the hellhound a fair ways away, though it is also now prone on the ground.
A marker appears about its head, with the words 30% health. Seems things are a bit simpler in ViViD Beta as well. ]
no subject
[Oona hops from foot to foot anxiously, irritated with her own lack of ability here. If there was something to drown the thing in maybe she could help, but as it is, she can only count on quick speed and the swing of her knife as she runs and jumps around the creature.
Maybe she should think about looking into changing her Class in ViViD to something that casts magic or something...]
Think we are almost done! [She can be pleased by that much at least, even if she's not as pleased about her fluffy puppy-turned-hellhound-- Or rather, not pleased about the fact it turned on the. Hellhound creature? Sure, adorable. It trying to chase them? Not so adorable.]
no subject
It shouldn't be too long now before we defeat it.
no subject
after the others finish slashing and slicing, cinder intends to deal the finishing blow. with an intricate wave of her hands, she forcefully pulls at the air like tugging a rope that's been sturdily tied to the ground. one pull and fire spits out from the ground like a volcano. as clear to her that the hellhound seems inattentive to the group at hand, she intends to kill two birds (or two beasts) with one stone, as it were, by setting them both aflame. ]
It shouldn't be too long at all.
no subject
Extraction Successful.
Before they're properly dumped out of ViViD Beta. They'll find themselves exhausted, weak at the knees and breathless, but the air is normal here, so it should at least be easier to breathe. After a moment, there's a soft creak of a door and Mosley pokes his head in. ]
Did you have fun? I hope you had fun.
[ Then he opens the door wide and in his hands, he carries a pack of juice boxes. He's already drinking from the apple one and holds out the rest to the group. ]
I brought refreshments!
no subject
The door opening makes her stand up straight and tense her muscles in an effort to not keel over and-- Oh shit, was that strawberry-banana? Don't mind if she does.]
...Had fun.
[SHRUGS... She doesn't tell lies, and truthfully it wasn't that bad, for her at least.] Puppy was cute. Want one, but that big. And not try to eat me. [A giant puppy she can ride. Make it happen, Cereal.]
But what was point?
▶ END TOUR.EXE
. . . STARTING RESET.EXE. . .
Wasn't it obvious? You're one of the few privileged ilk who have been able to see ViViD in it's baby steps! ... Not that that's particularly impressive since it's just ViViD, but still interesting, isn't it?
[ Mosley leads them out of the room and to the front doors without a further word. He shows them out, and then leaves them to catch their breaths and recover (though they'd very much locked out of the research tower again).
Oona and Cinder will find a tiny hellhound CYbuddy waiting for each of them back home. Aw, how cute. Sometimes, it glitches out and seems much realer than most CYbuddies, but that's just for a moment. Besides, it's tiny, what harm could it do? (If it is taken into ViViD, it will grow to full Hellhound size.)
Kyouko and Zero will find complimentary ViViD Points (10,000 free points!) on their tables at home, as well as a card with a single printed picture of an old, decrepit town on it. If they use that card on a ViViD machine they can go to the proper, non-beta level that they went to in ViViD Beta. But why would they want to, really.
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. ]
