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 ❅

//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.

[oz asked for this...]

I'll remember that! [He says it with a smile but does that really make it any better-sounding?! But introductions are more important, so his expression brightens up right away. Are they heading to friendshiptown?? THEY SURE ARE.]

My name's Oz! What's yours?

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-24 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Nu-uh! You can start a conversation with your name. So I'm Lily Baskerville! Who are you? You remind me of Reim...but Reim was a little nice at first.

[Then he shot her...ah, memories.]

[Tenka just snorts faintly even as Soramaru wraps his arms around his neck. Really, this kid.... In the end, Tenka just shakes his head fondly even as he easily piggybacks Soramaru through the rest of the fun house. It seems like the threat is gone now, at least, so he's not worried anymore.]

Right now, you're still a kid. No matter how old you get, I'll keep being older too, you know. And at least for right now, that means I can still pick you up and carry you home when you get hurt.

[More than that, Tenka's missed having his little brother around. It was different and lonely without him - even if Tenka had Sousei, it didn't change the fact that his little brother is irreplaceable in his heart.]

Stop complaining. Enjoy your youth while you have it.

[ ...Well, okay, maybe she should have expected that from someone who looks this different. Maybe he didn't get properly backed up? Was that a thing? ]

Trucy Wright! [ At least the question is easy enough. Watch her completely fail to say she's adopted until and unless he asks directly. ] Phoenix Wright's daughter extraordinaire?

[ Is that really something you tack "extraordinaire" onto...? ]

[the Christmas theme of the latest thing to spring up in Cerealia is something Xion has been enjoying. having heard stories of Christmas Town from inhabitants of Halloween Town (and some from Roxas himself), she finds a bit of comfort in the familiarity, even if she's never experienced such things for herself.

she's about to approach the Santa-Bot with an almost childlike curiosity when she hears a familiar voice that stops her in her tracks. it's not a voice she knows from the people she's met here in the colony; it's one she recognizes from home. or, well, the closest thing she's ever had to a home. she sucks in a deep breath as she looks for the voice's source, and it doesn't take her long to find Riku; he certainly stands out, even without her previous knowledge of him.

she almost reaches out to him, to tell him that she'd made her decision and that it really was what was best for everyone, but she'd been whisked here before she could complete it. and now, everyone from their worlds are... in stasis, for lack of a better word. could she even face him like this? instead, she throws up her hood and hopes that he hasn't seen her, that she hasn't made herself extremely obvious. she curses herself for not having had the foresight to buy new clothes, in case something like this had ever happened; but then again, she never expected to see someone she knows—someone better suited for the task they've been given—here.]
masakados: (that sparkle in my thoughts)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-24 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Naoki's patting himself down as he gets closer to the door out, but he's not hurt enough that he's concerned about it-- it takes a lot. And his body will shortly heal on its own anyway.]

Nah, looks like I'm not. Whatever it was disappeared, though.

[He pushes through the door, spying her. Ah, she's in that... whatever it is again, and he approaches, a little more relaxed now that he's outside.] Disappeared more, anyway. I couldn't see the thing even when it was trying to attack me.

[soramaru got game

But gosh, this poor punk! Kaoru will bend down a little with both arms slightly extended, in case he needs help standing upright... The complete lack of recognition throws Kaoru for a loop, though. Baby's first encounter with this brand of weird jamjar shenaniganry...]


You don't remember me? [Brow furrowing, frowning just so - but Kaoru doesn't look discouraged so much as confused.]

It's Kaoru. We met before you left earlier...
punchesyu: (Default)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Yosuke, Yosuke Hanamura. [Now with names exchanged, they can move on. And hopefully not get attacked again.]

So I know people from around here aren't all from the same universe or anything. And well, you mentioned other planets. So we're finally able to travel to different planets in the future? I mean. If that's where you're from. I assume so.

[Awkward.]
masakados: (still nothing)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-24 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, no, not the skeevy type but--]

...I won't tell anyone if you wanna take it with you anyway. [Naoki's all about helping. (He's actually making fun a little bit now.)]

[Cliff scratched his head, wondering how to explain his way out of this one without confusing the poor kid with politics he wasn't even a part of.]

The basic idea of it I don't really mind. It's an excuse to have a party, really. What I do mind is how the holiday is shoved at everyone every year regardless of whether it matters to them or not. It ain't a part of my home's culture, and I'm tired of the folks in charge assuming that everything they care about applies to everything and everyone they see.
impheired: and after my sis put me to bed at the hotel, i escaped and her friend found me in an elevator with some guy. (stare ♚ apparently i had 2 bloody noses)

[Dude why...are you crying...what........]

R....right, yeah. Same to...you...?

[What do you even say to that, he doesn't know. He's just...going to slowly walk away now though. Before Lee starts full on bawling or something...]

[Fuyuhiko outie.]
aerialassault: (thinking -- hmm)

Arrival

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-24 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. Wasn't trying to get ya. It just seems like it'd take a lot of energy preparing for everything in the book when the easiest thing is just to go with the flow and see how everything pans out. But, if you want to go ahead and prepare for everything, no one's stopping you.
kicksilver: (coming quicker than fedex)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-24 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Pass.

[ Raises a hand to give him a pass signal. No, thank you! ]

Just give it to someone else if you can't have it. There's bound to be at least one person here who wants it more than I do.
faithfulflame: (Rei Noticing)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-24 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[The louder hissing draws Rei up short and she reflexively turns he back to the sound, one arm wrapping around Yosuke's head protectively. She shakes, her free hand worming it's way into her jacket for the Mars Crystal. She'd have to chance it, just so that they could get away...

But fear numbs her fingers, the crystal slipping out of her grasp within and her grip tightens on him. Wordlessly, she curses and snarls angrily, grabbing the crystal. But too late...the voices are on top of them, reaching a horrible crescendo! An icy feeling trickles down Rei's back, making her shiver and press closer to him to get away from it...]


faithfulflame: (Rei Pissed)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-24 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
O-fuda. Spirit binding scrolls.

[She glowers at the paper, obviously angry...but at the failure, not at him.] And no, I'm fine. It knocked me down and vanished. What did it do to you?

. . .

[well. crying aside, this guy is obviously okay, which means it's totally okay for Kaito to make some teasing commentary]

Ooooi, c'mon. It's not so bad. Maybe it's a sign for you to try out a brand new hair style.
sunshied: (6)

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-24 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Well, maybe someday I'll repay the favor.

[And he can't help but think back on their visit to their parents graves, of Tenka's surprise when he'd lifted him with such ease and carried him home on his back with Chuutaro at their side. So for now he accepts that his big brother is here and is whole again and is more than able to take care of him as always.]

I wonder what that thing was...

[He still wasn't used to this place, as Tenka clearly was. It was disarming to know that something was strong enough to knock him flat onto his back with teh force of a great gust of wind. He didn't know what to make of it. It wasn't as if he hadn't been strong as the Orochi but this thing came pretty damn close to it.]
espersions: <user name=emigrate> (come here little girls)

[personal profile] espersions 2015-03-24 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
As I said, it doesn't bother me. I was in worse shape when I arrived, actually. I'll show you the steeple. Besides —

[ Hands in his pockets and his shoulders swept back, he saunters past her, in the direction of the distorted mirrors. ]

You're not that strange. Come on, if you're coming.
aerialassault: (attentive-- i'm listening)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-24 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Cliff swiftly held up a hand in an attempt to stop the flood of questions before they got too far out of hand. This was interesting territory they had fallen into.]

Look. Before ya start asking me all the questions in the book, I've gotta warn ya: I ain't even from Earth. My people've only been working with galactic level politics for about a century now. It might sound like a lot to a kid like you, but historically? It ain't that big at all.

[He shrugged.]

I also don't have a degree in Earth history, though I did take a few classes because a basic understanding is good for anyone who wants to understand what they're talking about.
impheired: can suck my short, pale, and awkward dick. (sassy ♚ tall dark and handsome)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-24 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Is it bad that he actually takes that as a compliment...so rarely does he hear people say that his appearance has that kind of effect. Usually it's the opposite... And it's this fact that actually gets Kuzuryuu to go along with being recruited as muscle instead of just telling Trucy to fuck off. He would be pleased as punch to hear she thinks he looks scary, honestly.]

[Because something just isn't right about this boy.]


Yeah, okay sure. It's not like I've got anything better to do. You can have whatever comps they might give us though, I'm fucking done with rides. I only went on that one because I thought they might let me leave if I did. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.

[Look, it seemed like a solid plan at the time.]

[ He furrows his brow at this new concept. It would be absolutely wonderful to see his friends and to know that they are somewhat safe. But the possibility of running into them from different timelines or realities is harrowing. Apollo cannot even fully wrap his brain around this concept, but maybe he does not need to understand it in order to believe it. He's already found himself here, so there's no use denying the seemingly impossible. ]

Great. [ Don't tell him the whole people coming back from the dead part. That'll raise some false hope there. ] And we're just supposed to go on normally here?

[ once she sees him outside, she dismisses juno, meeting him halfway. she's glad to see he isn't hurt at least, though now that she has a good look at him, she wonders how she didn't notice the markings on his skin before. ]

That's strange... usually, I would be able to identify it too, but I couldn't get any reading from it. [ she frowns a little, hands clasped in front of her. ] It's like it was never there in the first place.

I'm glad you're okay, though. Thank you.
sunshrouded: (☀ why did i make a hit list last night)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-24 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, you know how this place gets. I couldn't see what it was either and Sousei's not the type to let his guard down in the first place.

[So basically it was something that took both of them off-guard, which is impressive in and of itself. But more than that, it also doesn't quite occur to Tenka that the little brother on his back doesn't remember his last visit here to Cerealia. Rather, Tenka just shakes his head.]

They should shut this place down, though. There are too many kids here who might wander in looking for some fun like they were promised....

[Aniki senses are strong with this one.]
sunshied: (Default)

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-24 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
No.

[His answer is automatic, because he knows how much Sousei loves getting straight to the point.]

At least not- not really. There was a... movie theater? I mean I know that's where that was but it was a dream, wasn't it?

[Clearly he is is wrong and that was definitely real. This place is weird.]
faithfulflame: (Rei Long Suffering Sigh)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-24 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Rei growls again at the robot and dusts herself off before responding.]

I'm okay. Are you? I...am getting really tired of robots.
