 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)

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.

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. If this post goes into overflow, we will make a new one to deal with the ever-hated captcha! Worry not! |
Hinata -
But it's kind of a nice surprise!
[And he's even going to take another bite, even though it's not something he'd usually do...
Maybe he's humoring Hinata? Or he actually likes the tartness. Who knows.
It's a moment before he replies again though, looking down at the sour candy apple.]
... Kind of like this place is, you know? It's kind of frightening, and maybe dangerous, but...
I'm glad I get to see you again. That's what I think.
[This is your friend the chef, Hinata. Getting emotional over an apple.]
no subject
Don't get emotional you're going to make him emotional. He's in the midst of another bite and swallows against the candy apple, fighting a slew of complicated emotions.]
Yeah... me too. I'm glad.
...dangerous things might happen here, but there're good things too. Getting to see you guys again, meeting other really good people... even if they're from strange places. You really can't tell what'll happen just from looking at the outside.
[runs with the apple metaphor why not]
no subject
And other feelings, of course. Mmhmhm!
[why does he always do that?? who knows
Either way, it's also being coupled with his head against Hinata's arm - his bestest best friend knows just how to cheer him up, after all!
But he does go quiet after that, gnawing on the tart treat for a moment before speaking up again.]
... I think...
I think I'm ready to talk about everything that's happened.
But only if it's with you, I mean! I'm sure no one else would be able to explain everything as well as you could, Hinata-kun.
You're so good with words, after all!
[See, getting emotional has its perks!! It means he's open to talking about things he'd rather avoid!!]
no subject
But that sure is a head on his arm. Hinata doesn't move, but he does peer down at the top of Hanamura's head, but he doesn't shrug him off. But... his eyes widen a little. He hadn't expected him to come around so quick, but... he's glad.]
Then... we'll talk. I promise I will try to explain everything as well as possible, so listen right until the end, yeah?
[His voice is firm. Even if, well, so much of what he has to talk about is dark.]
no subject
But... um.
[He's hesitating for a moment, staring at the apple in his hand.
Does he really want to know? It might be too hard for him to hear...
... No, he has to ask. There's no way he'd be able to find out on his own, after all.
Back home, he's...]
... Can you...
Can you tell me what happened to the diner, first? D-did you ever find out?
He - he said he'd give back our memories... If that happened...
So, surely you know... something, right?
no subject
He never said... specifically. What we heard about our world being destroyed, and about years of our memories being missing was the truth in ways, but... I can't tell you what happened to the diner.
[It could've been destroyed. Like so many things.
--or, somehow, it might've been able to survive. Hinata doesn't know. Even what memories he has don't help him with it.]
no subject
[Could be gone, too. What a way to start this conversation, huh.
He's gonna stare at that apple for a moment more, before taking another bite out of it.
Something tart is perfect for the way he's feeling, after all.]
... Er, with that out of the way... what else do you need to tell me?
Even if it's bad, I can take it. I can take anything you give me, after all.
- Ah, what I mean is I can handle it! Not, well, you know...!
no subject
He'll pat again reassuringly, bypassing the wording.]
I'll start with what Jabberwock Island really was.
[And he'll go from there because oh boy this is the big one.] The Jabberwock Island we all were on... was within a virtual reality, called the New World Program. It was a program originally designed for rehabilitation... and it was able to erase memories for them to be overwritten with later with memories from within the program.
no subject
[Yeah, that gets him to look up at Hinata in surprise - for, you know, obvious reasons.
He'll get to the whole virtual thing in a bit, of course.]
But - T-Togami-kun and I...! How was that supposed to rehabilitate anyone!?
And... what was the use for, anyway? I don't remember anything that would need rehabilitation...!
no subject
[But as for the reason why they'd need rehabilitation... Well. Hinata exhales slowly, rubbing his hand across his neck.]
Before I tell you what we needed rehabilitation for, I need to tell you about why our world was destroyed. Well, why it fell into despair.
no subject
[Which means he's going to go quiet and listen.
This is... definitely something he wasn't prepared for, even though he said he was. But this is Hinata! He can handle anything, as long as it's Hinata explaining...!
Right?]
no subject
The first was one at Hope's Peak. She forced the student council into it, as well as another student. The scientists at Hope's Peak had been researching and working on a project that could make an ordinary person into a genius though brain surgery... that student murdered most of the student council.
[Absently, his hand raises to skim across his forehead, kneading against his temples.] The school tried to hide this, but Enoshima spread it to the reserve course students. They were students without talents, who paid to attend Hope's Peak, but were still treated like second-class students.
Enoshima... used them. She and the others she had with her, people she'd brainwashed, who she made to give into their despair called Super High School Level Despair. With her influence, the reserve course students rebelled, protested, and their social unrest spread outside of the school... Eventually, whatever purpose behind it was lost. It was just pure war.
no subject
Two other mutual-killing incidents... The reserve course rebelling, spreading their despair...
Pure war.
It's almost too much for the little cook to handle.
But he said he'd listen, so instead of interrupting and running off - as much as he'd like to - he opts to ask something.]
What... happened to that student, Hinata-kun? Th-the one who... who murdered the student council?
[If he sounds scared, it's because he is.]
no subject
[It's not like... he can hide it. Hinata looks away, staring with red eyes down at his lap. His shoulders curl in, hunching, hands white-knuckled on his knees.]
I was enrolled in the reserve course at Hope's Peak. [Which... sounds like he's not answering, but he is.] And I volunteered for the project the scientists had, to try and create a genius from a regular person. They suppressed everything about me that didn't have to do with talents; personality, emotions, anything.
...That student's right here. I was the one who killed them. Enoshima set it up, but I still...
no subject
...]
It's... it's okay, Hinata-kun! I can't judge you for that, I-I...
["I killed someone, too". That's what he wants to say, but he can't really bring himself to say it.
He does pause for a moment, though; fiddling with the scarf around his neck with his free hand in thought.]
... Um. Even if... even if that's what happened...
You're still Hinata-kun to me.
The Hinata-kun who likes plain food with no fun flavors, and ate my ma's meat and potato stew.
no subject
Yeah. I'm Hinata. That was something I... wasn't satisfied with, and something that I gave up back then. But I won't do that again, because I want to live as the Hinata you and everyone else know.
I'd never do something like that-- never again.
When I was like that, I did a lot of terrible things I can't erase. Even the New World Program would've gone fine... if it weren't for me. [Of course, Teruteru deserves to know, every one of them does, how much he had to do with this--] Because I brought in the virus to the virtual reality. I might not've remembered it, but I did that. That virus was an AI Enoshima had made of herself before she died.
no subject
[... No, of course Hinata wouldn't be joking. Even if he really wishes he was.]
So...
So, in some sense, it's... kind of your fault we died...? Well, I guess, if it was a virtual thing, th-then Togami-kun and myself aren't... you know.
But... You're the one who brought in that bear...
[His tone suggests he's not blaming Hinata for it, of course - he just has very little tact when it comes to this sort of thing.
He's just trying to piece it together.]
... But, can I ask? After... what happened to me happened, how many others, er...
You know...?
no subject
Hanamura doesn't seem like he's blaming him, though Hinata would understand even if he did. He's got responsibility in it. He wouldn't deny it.]
After you, Hanamura...
There were eight more. [...] Even though it was in the virtual reality, the program's advanced enough that... while all of your bodies are still alive, you're all in comas right now.
