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!!!


helmets: (& i've been a fool)

phase 3.............

[personal profile] helmets 2015-03-23 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ you know the great thing about not having a head in the first place is that you never have to worry about people (or robots) trying to cut it off. she wanted to try out the ride since she didn't remember the last time she'd been on a roller coaster, but once the santas started flying out she was up on her feet like the rest of them.

a large black scythe made of what looks like shadows materializes in her hand and she swings it effortlessly, knocking away a row of santas into the tunnel's walls. her helmet turns briefly in his direction before she slides her device out from her sleeve, passing her thumb over the screen. an automated female voice comes out of it:
]

No, this is my first time here. What about you?

[ god bless text to voice functions. ]
defeets: (» that was a joke just a joke)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[That's.... a really scary weapon, actually. Jae-ha watches the woman's actions in amazement and lust curiosity before he realizes that ah yes, the automated voice is speaking to him. Weird.... Could it be that he wouldn't hear her through her headwear?

There's a lot of questions that he has right now, okay.]


Also my first time. I was worried for a moment but it seems that you're handling yourself quite well, miss. Your weapon is definitely something else.
helmets: (& all of the ghouls come out to play)

[personal profile] helmets 2015-03-23 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ wow keep it in your pants, jae-ha. her helmet turns to him again at his comment, tilting a little before the scythe in her hand changes into a handful of knives just like his. ]

Perhaps this would be more familiar?

[ she throws them at the robots, hitting each one right between the eyes. ]
defeets: (» hey lil mama lemme whisper in your ear)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . ]

Say, what're you doing after this?

[jae-ha don't fall in love because she can use shadow weapons what the fuck]
helmets: (wants his pound of flesh)

[personal profile] helmets 2015-03-23 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure. I was going to continue to explore this carnival, but I have a feeling most of the other attractions will be similar to this.

[ that was a pretty random question. but hey, maybe he's new and he wants to know more about cerealia? she remembered being completely confused and lost when she arrived, so she can't fault him for that. ]

Did you just arrive? I can try to answer any questions you may have. Unfortunately, I'm rather new myself, so my knowledge of this place is limited.
defeets: (» i've seen bigger)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Not random at all considering the fact that he's taking a second to enjoy how snugly that suit fits her, damn.

Though he's turning his head now to actually deliver a fierce kick to the Santas that come a bit too close for comfort, generating a small gust of wind with the force and the swiftness of the movement. That's the strength of the dragon's leg.]


That's alright, beautiful. I was just wondering if maybe you would be willing to spend some time with me. We could talk about whatever your heart desires.
helmets: (here to relive your darkest moments)

[personal profile] helmets 2015-03-23 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh. that's interesting, it seems the boy has quite a bit of strength as well. after throwing another round of knives, the ride seems to start up again and she moves to sit back down. ]

My name is Celty. [ ugh. men. ] I suppose I would, since I don't have any plans. But perhaps it would be better if we talked about what you want, instead. I'm sure you have concerns about your predicament?
defeets: (» where did this sake cup come from)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, the ride. He sits himself back down whether he wants to or not, honestly. Might as well?]

Celty, that's an interesting name. [Foreign. He likes that.] My name is Jae-ha. But I suppose I do have a question or two. Perhaps we can walk and talk once this machine stops moving?
helmets: (i can see no way)

[personal profile] helmets 2015-03-23 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ she supposed his clothes should have given him away as someone from the eastern side of the world. she's not sure if it's a japanese name though. ]

Yes, that is acceptable.

[ and shortly afterwards, the ride comes to a slow stop. celty makes her way to a less crowded spot, refusing the snow cone offer as she attempts to spot jae-ha amongst the crowd. ]
defeets: (» have i told you lately)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't exactly have Shin-Ah's eyes but he's also the type to pursue his interests rather fervently - so it's not hard for him to find Celty at all. Friendly as ever, he gives her a wave and once he's close enough, with the same hand he holds it out to her in greeting.]

Thanks for waiting, lovely Miss Celty.
helmets: (i can never leave the past behind)

[personal profile] helmets 2015-03-24 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Just Celty is fine, thank you.

[ so he's the flirting type. she does take his hand, though she's not sure what he wants to do with it? so she simply leaves it in his grasp. she gestures her free hand to the exit back to the park itself. ]

Shall we?
defeets: (» hey lil mama lemme whisper in your ear)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[He wants to kiss the back of it, obviously. Which is basically what he does then, the charming loser that he is.]

We certainly shall!

[And then he's letting go of her hand and moving for the entrance, though he does peer over his shoulder back to her to make sure that they're moving at the same pace.]
helmets: (i can never leave the past behind)

1/2

[personal profile] helmets 2015-03-24 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ christ, slow your roll, jae-ha.

this is embarrassing.
]
helmets: (our love is pastured)

[personal profile] helmets 2015-03-24 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ but she does follow him out, keeping pace with him as they exit the roller coaster ride. everyone else looks in varying degrees of distress as they leave the other attractions and celty isn't as inclined to participate in the other rides if they're all similar to that catastrophe back there.

in any case, she takes out her phone again, tapping out another message for him to hear:
]

I assume they've told you why we're here?
defeets: (» there's a party in my pants)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
[He hums thoughtfully at the message, though it's a vague noise. Yes, they've told him. Does he believe it? Well, he doesn't know how he can't. There's no way for him to get home - and yet it's hard to imagine that his world is destroyed when he can feel the other dragons wandering about in this park. No way it could've left completely.

But there are also definitely different people here than he's used to. They were different clothes, Celty even has a different kind of weapon that he's never seen before.

So his response is remarkably thoughtful and free of most flirtatious embellishments.]


I've been told, yes.... though I haven't exactly been settled on how much of it I choose to believe. It's all a bit... much, don't you think, Celty?
helmets: (& every demon)

[personal profile] helmets 2015-03-24 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
I agree. I've been finding it hard to believe our worlds were destroyed as they've told us.

[ fear of aliens aside, she knows death and destruction well, after all. ]

The fact that no one has been able to obtain any answers or information is also cause for suspicion.
defeets: (» don't knock it 'til you try it)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
But there have been efforts?

[That's at least nice to know. The port town that he loved was full of people too scared to do much, except for the rowdy pirates that tried to defend them.

At least this place hasn't quite reached that level of hopeless yet.]
helmets: (here to relive your darkest moments)

[personal profile] helmets 2015-03-24 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
I'm unsure about the details, but I am aware that a few people have attempted to uncover more information about the ones in charge.

[ not that there's been much success, but they're trying. ]

There isn't much yet and I don't think we've been very successful, but I'm sure with time an opportunity will present itself.
defeets: (» no i'm bored of this already)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
With time.... but it sounds like people have already been here for a while.

[If there's been time for attempts. So Jae-ha's not part of the first group to arrive, huh?]

Any idea how long?
helmets: (i can see no way)

[personal profile] helmets 2015-03-24 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
It has been about two months for me, but I know of some people who have been here for about four or six.

[ kind of sucks she has to be the bearer of bad news though. ]

Do you know anyone here from your world?
defeets: (»  gather round children)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
Two someones so far, but hopefully more....

[He hasn't even really gone looking. He knows those two someones are able to take care of themselves, but he's been more on the lookout for a certain red-haired princess. It just makes him too anxious to not be by her side.]

So do they bring people here in waves? Is that even possible?
helmets: (so i like to keep my issues drawn)

[personal profile] helmets 2015-03-24 09:43 am (UTC)(link)
I see, I'm glad you aren't alone.

[ everything must be so new to him, at least he has people who are familiar in an unfamiliar place. ]

Yes, but surprisingly, there wasn't an arrival of newcomers last month. No one knows why that was the case, some think it might be another glitch in the system.
defeets: (» don't knock it 'til you try it)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-26 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
A glitch....

[ . . . . ]

What system, exactly? The one that they talked about in the boring presentation?

[He's not an idiot, really. It's just that it's hard for him to keep up when they used all sorts of terminology that he just didn't understand.]
helmets: (instead i sleep)

[personal profile] helmets 2015-03-26 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ ah, this question. it took her a while to get used to technology and its terminology when she first got to japan, so she's not really the best person to ask, but.... ]

The system of codes, you could say. That is, essentially what we are, if everything they've told us is true. When you have a lot of data in one place, sometimes things may go wrong, interrupting the infrastructure which results in glitches.

[ there's a pause as she considers it, before adding: ]

At least, this is my interpretation of it. There are still things I don't understand about technology. I was originally from a place that did not have much of it, if at all.
