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.

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!!!


springful: (thanks for the death threat gil)

bonus;

[personal profile] springful 2015-03-24 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Sakura's already wary of the getting a present; she's never really received anything good here, not during times like these. When she sees someone throwing theirs away, she figures that she was probably right not to get one. All's well and good.

At least until the trash can started talking.

She looks back at Pyrrha.]


... Maybe another trash can will be fine with it?
springful: (are you ready for hq ufotable sakura)

phase i;

[personal profile] springful 2015-03-24 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
[She'd gone on the ferris wheel on a whim, really. Sakura's not particularly interested in them, but she figures it might be nice to see the scenery. Something quiet, for once.

Very quiet even, seeing as how the other person here is completely silent and looking pretty bummed out.]


... Excuse me, [she starts hesitantly, unsure if she should interrupt him] but are you alright?
niceguypose: (concerned)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-03-24 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Rock Lee sees the robot flying at him! And he's excited!

But he remembers the last time he struck a robot that was sailing at him, he was reprimanded because it wasn't actually supposed to be a test of his strength.

So, he cries out towards the person who kicked it.]


Is this a test of strength?!
perfectstrike: (listening)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-24 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
...?

[She recognizes the voice, but Peko hadn't known they were supposed to be together?? She just kind of pauses uncertainly when Mabel catches up, as if not quite sure what to do next. Still not used to people just kind of approaching her because they like her...]

I was not aware you were looking for me.
buildyourworld: (explaining)

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-24 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ He raises a brow wondering just who does she thinks she is lecturing him about robots when he's the one roaming around with one (two actually). ]

There's nothing cool about basic learning A.I. [ He's clearly unimpressed from the tone of his voice. ] No, they don't. Robots can be companions but they are far from being friends. Unlike humans, robots have very limited emotional capacity and that in itself makes them unsuitable choice for complicated relationship.
perfectstrike: (pout)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-24 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[She feels like she's being scolded... Peko just kind of gives her a somewhat impatient stare and carefully but firmly pushes the parasol out of her way.]

It is nice to meet you, Maribelle. Just Pekoyama is fine.
perfectstrike: (objection! | 意義あり!)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-24 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Peko steps quickly back from the robot and exhales sharply, prepared to continue a battle if need be. She just... doesn't really like robots of any kind, when it comes down to it, especially not ones that tend to get in close to her. It may have been a month ago for her, but really, her execution isn't far enough in the past for that.]

Come along.

[Just moving quickly past the snowbot and roughly grabbing his arm to haul him to his feet before the robot can recover for a counterattack! Let's move, nerd.]
perfectstrike: (fierce)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-24 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
For the moment.

[Peko looks thoroughly Unimpressed as she gives the mirrors a suspicious stare, then backs away to return to the path instead of staying right on top of them like she had been.]

Let us attempt to clear this place as quickly as possible, without attracting any undue attention.

[Translation: let's move fast, but not run just in case weird shit comes out of the mirrors again.]
buildyourworld: (I'll handle it)

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-24 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ The good thing about living with humans is that he picks up some general idea on how to handle interaction with them. One of it being the fact that some people has problem accepting well meaning advice without elaboration. It's silly and frankly a waste of time, because a lot of things they have to reminded with are basic day-to-day knowledge. Still, he cocks his head towards one of the unfortunate soul nearby who's being hugged by one of the Snowtron 5000. ]

Those robots will hug anyone, if you're not paying attention to where you're going, you'll end up like him. [ Who's actually screaming to be let go off. ]
perfectstrike: (listening | slight surprise)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-24 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
[What if there were a vacancy sign posted outside of purgatory though.

But no, she just shakes her head and fixes him with a firm, if somewhat impatient stare. That isn't what she'd meant, though she does clarify,]
I meant that there are people here who are not-- who have not experienced death.

[But that doesn't really matter when compared to the fact that oh god. There's. She can see them. Four little fluffy faces.

Hello my name is Peko Pekoyama and it has been more than thirty days since I last touched a fluffy creature.]


I... see. I am... pleased to see that.

[Strangled... Peko noises in the back of her throat. That sure is some intensity with which she's staring at those poor hams.]
perfectstrike: (fervent)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-24 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Nonsense. He would stand out.

[Suited brat stalking around everybody with his hands in his pockets... yes. Clearly visible even from outer space.

But no, okay, play it cool, Pekoyama.]


He was just an example. If you see any of them, say something immediately.
hamham: like a cult. (I do not make homosexuality sound)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-24 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ That does not excuse you and your concept!!!!!!

Just going to throw a cautious glance to the rides...]


There have been whispers carried on the wind, foretelling of great catastrophes...are these attractions cursed?

[If they're cursed he could do something about that he bets...]
trafalgar: (pic#8957050)

nobody wants to deal with a dildo of death..DONT INTRODUCE HIM LIKE THAT!!

[personal profile] trafalgar 2015-03-24 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
-- In other words, getting any answers out of you is going to be a pain in the ass.

[MARCO DO YOU EVEN HAVE FRIENDS? MARCO.

Despite saying that, he opens his mouth again to ask about the location of those defunct Den Dens but...yeah. No. He'll wait.]
hamham: was singing "what does the fox say" so I started answering in similar satanic ritual noises (Today in French class my teacher)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-24 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
[That sounds like a good plan you have there Hinata.

He nods, a deep frown quickly settling in place.]


You speak as if the nonsense they spouted is something you can make sense of.

[It's really confusing, Hinata. It's a lot easier to accept this as some kind of afterlife...]

This once, I will allow you to lead me where you will. Take heed, however, that if the path becomes too dangerous for you I may be forced to usurp your temporary seat of power.
kicksilver: (2. put your junk in that box)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-24 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
Anything you do know?
trafalgar: (pic#8290861)

[personal profile] trafalgar 2015-03-24 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
That's not possible.

[Because he 100% isn't buying that whole story, not without proper evidence. These guys are trying to brainwash him for whatever reason, he's concluded. It's something that's easier to accept -- why wouldn't some random assholes want his help in kicking the snot out of pesky (hostile) alien-creatures?

All besides the point.]


We don't have any business if you're just going to talk like them.
defeets: (» up close and personal)

bless u and ur starbucks

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Jae-ha had almost forgotten about the dragon scale.

Yet here he is, face to face with the object of his temporary affections again and he's very quick to remove any barrier between the two of them, swinging easily into the carriage and-- right into Ki-ja.

You know those otome CGs where the love interest suddenly pins the protag to the floor? Good job, Ki-ja, you have just been upgraded to protag. Hope you don't mind Jae-ha doing his very best to press as close as possible with his face already in the crook of your neck-]


Who else would be drawn to you like this?

[This'll be over in like 5 more seconds, sorry about that.]
trafalgar: (pic#8957123)

[personal profile] trafalgar 2015-03-24 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
[He could've offered a hand, but Law's kind of an asshole. The kid seems to be fine, anyway. Atta--.

Oh. He's getting more suspicious by the minute. Law regards the little animal with vague interest, but his mind's quickly brought elsewhere.]


'Very' new, meaning you just got here?

[Answering questions with questions...just assume he's in agreement.]
hamham: like a cult. (I do not make homosexuality sound)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-24 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Personal space...before the box can be opened, he backs away from her. and holds the gift out between them to keep her from straying too close again.]

It is ill-advised to lean so close to me, unless you wish for a painful end to your life.

[Okay though. If this is a good distance for you to watch the unveiling, he will open the gift enough for them both to see and sort of peer inside.

....and then promptly shut it again once he realizes what's inside. Did you get a good look before he did that? Because he's not opening this thing again.]


Th-this...

[Judging by how offended he looks, this is not what he wanted for Christmas.]
defeets: (» nani the fuck)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
[At least Jae-ha's sturdy and his body does feel pleasantly sore now... However he settles for rolling his shoulder and keeping his eyes peeled in case whatever it was decides to come back.]

Don't wander too far.

[He'd rather be close so that if need be he can get tossed around on her behalf again - it'd be better than letting a cute girl get hurt on his watch.]
defeets: (» don't knock it 'til you try it)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
[It moves... differently. It's a little vague but he hums thoughtfully in response, he supposes he'll ask Yoon if he's here - Yoon does tend to know everything.

But for now he tilts his head.]


I like your spirit! ... But why not, princess?
hamham: when you're drunk because there is a bug in the shower. (13)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-24 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
[He is pretty sure there is not a vacancy sign posted outside of purgatory there are way too many sinners in the world for that.

He offers a thoughtful hum to the fact that not everyone is dead (something he had been wondering about but had yet to have confirmed for him until now). Good, okay, so this isn't hell then what is going on.

Before he can really pose this question, however, Peko is making...strange strangled noises...and staring with such intensity???]


Pe...Pekoyama, are you alright?! [THOSE ARE MILDLY CONCERNING SYMPTOMS WHAT IS WRONG.

Though sorry Peko, three of those faces disappear back into the scarf. That looks you are giving them...it's a very scary look!

Jum-P seems content to continue napping.]
trafalgar: (pic#8957123)

Re: ii

[personal profile] trafalgar 2015-03-24 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
[That's kind of a relief, but in the face of everything else, it doesn't really matter. The fact that his company isn't about to gnaw his limbs off only has his suspicions rising toward the singing reindeer.

He gathers himself up before long, just in case. Not that the floor makes for cozy residence. His own sword's still attached to him, fortunately, it's only his hat that requires a bit of adjusting.]


Does this shit happen often, then?

[Being assaulted by robots, caroling reindeer that incite the wrath of whatever the fuck attacked him just then..etc.]
defeets: (» not bad for a girl)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
[He laughs faintly at that before easily offering her a hand like this is straight out of Aladdin. It's basically 200% the "do you trust me?" scene except without the magic carpet because Jae-ha doubles as the most convenient and attractive form of transportation ever.]

We need to get out of here anyway and I rather dislike waiting. I don't want to know what else this place has in store for us either.... so why not come with me and get a taste of flying for yourself?

[But if he has to describe it a bit, he leans in close to her even as he explains-]

It's freedom like no other.

[and if there's anything that jae-ha craves more than anything else, it's to be a master of himself and he'll use his power for his own ends whenever he likes]
trafalgar: (pic#8957105)

Re: No, Thank You.

[personal profile] trafalgar 2015-03-24 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
Mushi.

[Snail, communication device. This guy doesn't look very backwoodsy. Maybe he genuinely misheard.]

I'm not buying that whole thing about the world being destroyed.
