The Gifts that Keeps on Giving ((You)) Nightmares

It's been a whole month without any new arrivals. Who knows why? If you ask CERES, they won't bother with any in-depth explanations. They will simply claim that none of the code out there has been responding to their recovery methods, so they had to rework a lot of their technology. However, after several weeks of grueling work, they have finally experienced success! A fresh new batch of faces is coming in, and to celebrate their arrival and the real upcoming holidays, CEO Julius Vincere has arranged for a Christmas-themed carnival for all to enjoy.

Those who arrive will wake up in Cerealia and be given a long, boring explanation and powerpoint as per usual before being ushered onto a bus (there is no escape. The robots will force you onto the bus one way or another). You will be unwillingly carted to the theme park where you will be immediately assaulted by a giant array of lights followed by several rides that you can enjoy. After you disembark from the bus, one of the snowman robots will be waiting to give you tickets to the rides and show you around as part of the Grand Opening. The amusement park will remain open for the rest of the month of December so anyone can visit as they please. The first couple tickets will also be on the house for new arrivals, but the rest will have to be bought with credits, so choose wisely! (Or try and sneak into the rides -- then face the wrath of the snowman robots and their snowman firearms :D)

"☃ WELCOME NEW ARRIVALS ❅

PHASE I

[ xxxx ] Do you like ferris wheels? This is an enchanting one where you get to ride around in a giant snowflake at a very limited speed. The wheel will turn excruciatingly slow before stopping abruptly, leaving you trapped at the very top. We hope you're not afraid of heights because you're going to be in there for a while! The windows on the snowflake will rapidly darken leaving you and your fellow riders trapped in the darkness. At that moment, you will feel something warm breathing down your neck and along the back of your ear. As you reach over, you'll feel like the chair underneath you is made of snakeskin, and a hissing sound will intensify as the "chair" squirms and as the breathing gets louder and hotter. Scrabble at the doors, fight your way out! Will you escape or not? Probably not, but the experience will last only a good five minutes before the lights come back on and before the ferris wheel starts moving again. The chair will appear as normal, and there will be no one else inside except any fellow riders who came with you.

PHASE II

[ xxxx ] If the ferris wheel didn't "do it" for you, then perhaps a fun house will? If you're a fan, that is! This Christmas-themed funhouse features a wonderful walk through a snowy forest convered in singing reindeer. The more you walk through, the more you will notice things like within the distorted mirrors, there will briefly appear strange specters. You will also hear a bunch of howling in the background, and while you may think that you're safe since they're trapped behind a mirror, you are very wrong. The lights will go out once more, and you will hear the mirrors shatter all around and feel yourself being grabbed and hurled to the ground. Whatever is coming for you is something you can't see, but it's advancing fast with impressive strength to hurl you back once more. You will feel pain erupt through your body before an engineer will appear to get the lights back on. Once they're back on, the reindeer will be happily singing, and all the mirrors will appear as they were before -unbroken.

PHASE III

[ xxxx ] After those interesting adventures, another option would be to simply visit the rocking santacoaster, a large, sprawling roller coaster that reaches 150 mph. You will be strapped into a sled and be shot through the tracks where you can scream and cry all you want except once you reach the tunnel, everything will come to a sudden stop (whiplash pending). You and the other riders will be in there for a few minutes, surrounded by a dozen santas as they start to fly out from the tunnel walls, carrying swords and swooping down to take a swipe at you. You better duck or be prepared to be cut up by their blades. The rollercoaster will abruptly resume, and when you reach the end, you might notice some bleeding, a little bit of hair missing, or some clothes shred up. If you ask the snowman robots about it, they will just shrug and claim they don't know what you're talking about. Please go enjoy a snowcone on the house!

PHASE IV

[ xxxx ] The Christmas whirl will be your last stop for the evening! This is a ride that goes round and round and round while tilting. Everyone will be strapped into it while standing up and forced to hold on as it spins, and somewhere in the midst of the spinning, the ride will suddenly malfunction. Yes, big surprise there! But it won't stop spinning. It will just be a rockier ride, and you will seemingly enter a new space where you will be among the stars and seeing planets all around you. Your own home planet will be amongst them before it breaks open like an egg and out crawls a friendly visitor. If you get bit by it, you will spend the rest of the day and night experiencing an array of possible symptoms, including: a voracious appetite, a fear of light, the urge to 'mate' with anyone who smells especially good, heightened senses, the ability to climb on all kinds of surfaces, irritability and crankiness... (( you don't have to experience them all. you can pick and choose which one you like. ))

BONUS

[ whyo'clock ] What's that jingling you hear in the background? Why, it's Santa Clause! Coming here all the way from the North Pole. The park will stop, and all the snowman robots will gather in the square, ushering along as many people as possible. Santa-Bot X-3 will be seated on his chair to welcome all visitors to sit on his metaphorical lap and tell him what they want for Christmas. He will then give them a nicely wrapped present and tell them that it's exactly what they asked for, but they can't open it until they get home. For those who can't wait and choose to open it quickly, they will get some nice treats from Mundus Caelestis. But beware! Those who do take this gift home will experience a weird after-effect as the lovely red and white toy will come to life on its own and hop out of the box that evening to try and violently electrocute the owner. The other one is completely harmless.

Welcome to CEREALIA's latest intro post For your convenience, we have compiled a post detailing what's going on right here and feel free to consult the FAQ if needed. Please leave any lingering questions in the OOC post, and we'll answer them as soon as we can. OVERFLOW IS HERE!!!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

phase i.

[So..Ferris wheels. Those are things. And though he's completely confused about the situation and finds this entire carnival kind of annoying, he has to ride at least one of the rides. It'd just be wrong if he didn't! And the other ones are too speedy and furious for his liking (not even going to look in that Fun House's direction, tbh), and with the ferris wheel being slow and safe, he can get a good look around the park and maybe that'd be helpful somehow.

So, he'd admittedly excitedly hurry to get onto the wheel, with a big grin on his face, and the ride is fine for the most part. But somewhere down the line, loud, terrified (but most definitely from a guy) screaming can be heard and as he comes off it after a fun trip around, that smile is gone and he looks more like he's going to piss himself than anything.

He should have known that amusement parks and carnivals were never to be trusted...]

extra i.

[Well after that scarring experience, Souda stumbles upon a Snowbot all by it's lonesome, and he'd been pretty curious about them since he got to this carnival but he couldn't do anything with being ushered around everywhere! But now that he's free to do whatever, he approaches it with an adoring smile, pulling out a small swiss army knife from one of his pockets.]

Ahh look at you, you're totally cute! Mind if I take a peek at your insides, little guy? [He'll poke and prod at it with the small screwdriver attachment, before it moves to give him a nice, warm hug... which is actually pretty annoying. So he'll call out to anyone near by:]

O-oi, wait! Help me out here, I-I'm stuck! [The force of robot love is too strong]

phase iii.

[Okay, ferris wheel? Way too fucking scary. Cute snowbots? Really annoying. Roller coaster... well, there's absolutely no way he's going to ride the thing, but instead he'll lean against a nearby pole, and listen to the sounds of the screams and the ride sliding across the tracks at alarming speeds with his eyes closed to calm himself down. Good luck if you want to try to get him to ride the thing.]

bonus.

[Oh great, now what? Being ushered to Santabot was just as annoying as being hugged by the cute bots, but once he saw the cute little bot, his annoyance lifted a bit. He didn't need to be pushed towards the Santabot anymore, as he walks over casually and circles around the seat to inspect it. After a thorough inspection and being handed his present, he places a hand on his hip, looking sympathetic at the robot.]

Man, what crappy engineer made you? Everyone knows that Santa's supposed to have a lap for all the kids to sit on, but you don't even have legs. Pretty lame if you ask me... [Poor Santabot.. he'd make him legs if he could get his hands on one of those Snowbots without being hugged to death. (Also, that present is being pointedly ignored. After what he's seen of this place, he has a feeling that it can't be anything good..)]

extra ii.

[After discarding that present which he decidedly does not need at all, he's calmed down from the initial shock and fear from this morning and now he's starving. So, he'll be seen with four, yes four, peppermint cotton candy slicks in his hands, and a big ol' satisfied grin on his face.

And feel free to think of any other scenario to bug him with! Just know that he'll strongly refuse riding any of the fast rides, and the Fun House he won't even look in the direction of.]

[So we're making it four. All right. Where're the rest? Hinata's wholly expecting it at this point (this is the most ridiculous day ever) and while the shock hasn't worn off, he's at least not as shocked to see... that bright pink hair and bright clothes. It's the same kind of lower shock that he had when finding Kuzuryuu.]

Souda? [At least Hinata will call out and not do the super startling thing of tapping his shoulder from behind to get his attention. He'll slowly walk up next to him.]

Is that what you're worrying about?

Huh? [He turns around to see Hinata, and he rubs the back of his head nonchalantly.]

Well, yeah. I mean, if you're gonna make a Santa robot, you can at least make the thing a pair of legs. Even the mall Santas have legs... [He's saying that as if people can just choose to get rid of their legs or something...

Also, he'd have more shock seeing Hinata here if he didn't already see the other three on the bus... but he is at least relieved to see him. If he was seriously stuck here with just those three, he'd go crazy for sure.]

[Aren't you excited to get to hang out with Teruteru, Gundam and Kuzuryuu again, Souda??? But no let's be nonplussed together because hey fancy meeting you in another world yeah no big deal.]

I mean that there're probably things to worry about before that... [It's probably to be expected of Souda, though. He props his own hand on his hip, looking skeptically at the robot in question.] I don't know how much thought CERES really puts into their robots.
