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)

//SCENARIOS.EXE
PHASE I
[ xx:xx ] 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
[ xx:xx ] 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
[ xx:xx ] 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
[ xx:xx ] 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
[ why:o'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!!!


impheired: you send me, I'm gonna send a wholesome family photo. (disgust ♚ for every drunk face picture)

pre-phase

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-23 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[What in the fresh hell are you supposed to be? Some kind of cosplayer? Yeah, that's what Kuzuryuu's going with for now. Definitely a weirdo cosplayer. He has no idea what that "Reboot" business is about, but apparently he's not bothered enough to ask about it. Or strike up a conversation.]

[But then she decides to do just that and that plan kind of goes out the window.]


Yeah, I guess I'm new. [By now he's pretty sure this isn't the New World Program further fucking with him. It's just too stupidly complex to be a malfunction.] And I thought it was terrible, what else was I supposed to think? It did a shit job of explaining things.

[He spent the whole thing resisting the urge to punch a researcher/intern. It was that bad.]
pixelacious: (WELL ► that sure is a thing yes.)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-23 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kuzuryuu will be happy to note that her skin is coraled light orange and darker orange, and there are actual fish scales up and down the backs of her arms. And her back. And her hair? Teal to the roots. Let's see how long it takes him to accept that. ]

The backup part sounded reasonable, but it's also the sort of thing you'd tell people if - well, you wanted them to remain calm. [ computer people anyway................ ] This isn't a game, though, so they have to be at least halfway telling the truth.

[ She means Game. Capital letter and all. ]
impheired: mouse traps and brownies on my porch? (unsure ♚ just wondering. did you put)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-23 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[No shh. Shhh it's makeup. It's totally all just really crazy makeup. Cosplayers are insane like that. LET HIM BELIEVE. Okay no, it's what she says next that kind of makes it hard for him to continue believing. Because what kind of people would be pacified by hearing something like that?]

Most people don't really take well to hearing they've suddenly become data, backup or otherwise. [Trust him, he has first hand experience.] That sort of shit isn't normal, what on earth are you talking about?

[Are you quite sane? He doesn't think you're sane.]
pixelacious: (HANDS ► chill out bro.)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-23 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ AndrAIa has similar feelings about his potential sanity but she's more friendly and/or polite...though wow he's sort of hitting all the teenage Enzo nostalgia points here. Grumpy one-eyed teenager arguing with her.

It's like she's gone back in time a few hours or even days... ]


Just to be clear: you're saying you haven't always been data? [ If the answer is "no", she supposes he will just give her another ARE YOU CRAZY look, but. ] I'm a game sprite. I've been backed up before. And if they really did back everyone else up...

[ A shrug. ]

It's something they could have done. A User.
impheired: where is the sex going? does it even have a license (unsure ♚ what is a sex drive?)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-24 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I haven't...that's a more recent development. ["More recent" may or may not be synonymous with "as of today".] So what you're...a video game AI or something?

[Weirdly enough, her admission of being a game sprite actually makes her seem less crazy. It even accounts for her strange appearance ini a completely logical, non-magical way. Which is just the way he likes it because fuck magic. If he'd been taken from his universe at any other point before the one he actually was though, it definitely would have earned her another crazy look. But luckily he wasn't, so he doesn't.]

And a User is...what, a human? [He feels like this is the obvious answer here. A User is someone who...uses a game system? Computer? Some kind of electronic anyway.]
pixelacious: (MATRIX ► spritesplaining.)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-24 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly that. AndrAIa, originally from the Treasure of Atlantis.

[ Which might explain the whole mermaid thing she's got going on for Kuzuryuu. Because that's pretty much why...she's from an underwater game. ]

I don't know what a User is. Some people don't think they exist, but they're outside the Net, and input games. And system updates. [ Helpless shrug. It's weird that some people here seem to think they are Users...and AndrAIa's not really sure how to take it. Ask them why they play games? Tell them to run more virus scans than they apparently do? ]
impheired: in front of the mirror trying to reenact the sailor moon theme song. (peko ♚ you spent an hour)
