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.

eggcream: (④⑥)

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-24 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
W-what's going on? D-d-did I do something wrong?! [But he'll follow without much resistance, despite his obvious displeasure with the situation.]
emotive: (But somebody told me)

[personal profile] emotive 2015-03-24 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Gotta focus, gotta focus, gotta focus... BUT WAIT!!! Ai realizes that landing on him might not have been the most comfortable thing ever.]

Oh, are you hurt by the way?
defeets: (» so many hot guys)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
Jae-ha.

[haha bOY OZ MUST BE GOING BY HIMSELF BECAUSE JAE-HA HAS NO INTENTIONS OF HEADING TOWARD FRIENDSHIPTOWN. he'll drop you off at your connecting flight, oz.....

But he doesn't really have any intention of sweeping this young lad off his feet (ew) so instead he's turning his back to him and kneeling down.]


Hop on my back-- ah, but if you pull my hair, I'm tossing you.
defeets: (» i've seen bigger)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
[a belated thought but still, he's just giving her an easy-going grin at that]

Not enough to feel anything but a pleasant soreness, beautiful. As long as you aren't injured, I'm entirely satisfied.

[he's such a masochist]
blacksong: (blood is power)

phase iii;

[personal profile] blacksong 2015-03-24 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe another person would be concerned about all the blood, but not Zero! Mostly because being covered in blood is also a usual occurrence for her, so hey, who's she to ask?

She's more curious about the roller coaster anyways.]


Is that all that's bad about it? It's not like they're actually talking to you or something, is it?
defeets: (» perhaps it's your scent)

other

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Admittedly Jae-ha's still in the middle of looking for his companion, but in general he's also looking around at his surroundings... It's all absurdly new and foreign to him, but there are simple things that he can recognize. Like flowers. Thank god this world still has flowers and hair pins.

He's in the middle of plucking a poinsettia hairpin from a gift shop (give him a break, he's apparently the dragon who inherited the fondness for shiny things) when he notices Pyrrha wandering by.

Then his reaction is rather immediate indeed. Smoothly, he slips the pin into her hair. Apparently pleased with his work, he only has one word for her:]


Stunning.
kicksilver: (that you are second to none)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-24 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
I did it. And I didn't get beaten up.

[ Just. Almost.

He sounds pretty proud of the fact, too. ]
blacksong: (octa wants to fuck a black hole??)

c.

[personal profile] blacksong 2015-03-24 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
Sure did. [If she's actually concerned about it though, that's another question. Mostly Zero looks bored.] Why?
emotive: (Increase the chance of misinterpretation)

[personal profile] emotive 2015-03-24 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
[She's kneeling down now and estimates the area where she fell on him. Her hand hovers a few centimeters away from his chest.]

Um. Pardon the intrusion.

[As she says that, there's a fuzzy sensation Jae-Ha should be experiencing. It's light and not unpleasant. And any immediate soreness he had gained just as quickly disappears.]
blacksong: (blood is power)

i;

[personal profile] blacksong 2015-03-24 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh she vaguely remembers this person... And how she just wanted to fight her?? Something like that. More importantly, she remembers this girl as one of the few she ran into while disgustingly happy.

God that was embarrassing though SHE'LL JUST PRETEND THAT NEVER HAPPENED. She keeps her expression carefully bored and disinterested when she answers the girl's question.]


Probably. [You might as well give a straight yes, Zero...] You looking for a kid or something?
royalpatron: (BUT WHY IS STERK SO EXPENSIVE?)

[personal profile] royalpatron 2015-03-24 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
They do! But it's all for fun. Wanna try it?

[Meruru wants to have fun maybe she can show Maribelle around if she's not familiar with it yet.]
defeets: (»  did you fall from heaven)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
[No wait, he liked it-- but admittedly he's just as curious about the disappearance of it and so he doesn't exactly linger on the disappointment for long. Instead, he reaches to hold onto her hand carefully after the soreness disappears before looking into her eyes.]

Ah....? What was that, exactly?

[And can it be used in the opposite way to make him feel really good?]
blacksong: (fuck snow the game isn't over yet)

phase iii;

[personal profile] blacksong 2015-03-24 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Casual slaughter of evil Santa Claus is a Go.

Which is to say that Zero looks caught somewhere between bored and disdainful, not bothering to get rid of a Santa Claus with a slash of her sword until they're up close and personal with her. It's not even a fun way to go around breaking shit, what's the point of this!!]


Do I look like I come here often.
buildyourworld: (Respond!)

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-24 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ The test of what? Just who would think of a robot flying towards them as a test? Probably someone insane, Tieria's mind comes up with a plausible answer but that doesn't contribute anything to what's taking place now. ]

No! Are you crazy?!

[ His little round bouncy robot agrees. ] Danger! Danger!
emotive: (There's no place I'd rather be)

[personal profile] emotive 2015-03-24 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Her eyes are back to normal again and she smiles at him apologetically.]

It was some mild healing. It's a power I grew up with.

[Among a few other abilities that could be more unsavory! MY LIPS ARE SEALED ABOUT THAT]

That got rid of the soreness right?
verified: (& there's no one)

[personal profile] verified 2015-03-24 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it was mostly just really strange... it was fine up until we stopped at the top, then the windows turned black and there was a lot of hissing...

[ which was why she thought there were snakes earlier. she meant to have juno scan the carriage, but jae-ha beat her to it. but if she were really honest, she's mostly overwhelmed by everything that's happened, really. ]

B-But maybe it was just my imagination?
defeets: (» have i told you lately)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
[So casually taking out Santa robots without even breaking a sweat.... He might be falling in love. That's probably cause for concern but Jae-ha is always making questionable choices.]

Judging by your strength, I suppose not. They seem far too easy for you to defeat, gorgeous.

[internally swoons tbh]
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.

psycholawgy: (joins us for a cossack show)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-24 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
There we go!

[ She smiles at him brightly. Better spread some optimism now before Apollo goes crazy! ]

I hope so too. I've seen Mr. Wright, Trucy, and Pearly. Simon, too! They remember everything, so it's nice. I don't feel like a total stranger anymore.

[ That's when her mood drops, because it's really been difficult. ]

All four of them just arrived recently, too. I was so worried about all of you.
blacksong: (octa wants to fuck a black hole??)

[personal profile] blacksong 2015-03-24 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
[It might as well be Jae-ha's lucky day then because Zero might as well be the reigning champ of Extremely Questionable.

Give her a sec though as she just. Stares at him because wow has it been a while since a guy's tried to compliment her like that, and this feels like it has the potential to get annoying REAL FAST like it always did, even with her Disciples.]


Shit like this is piss-ass easy, yeah.
eggcream: (⑤⑤)

were making our own adventure arent you excited

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-24 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
[After winning a carnival game, the one with the hammer that people use to test their strength, Souda's nonchalantly walking around with a giant stuffed reindeer under one arm and a snowcone in the other. And that's when he spots his good friend Kuzuryuu, sitting on a bench looking ever so done with the world.

Now, the two aren't on fantastic terms but Kuzuryuu lived through everything with him... and he wasn't completely heartless like Souda first thought when they met in the beginning... so, you know what? He's gonna come over and try to cheer him up!

By shoving the giant reindeer in his face.]


Here. [A guy giving another guy the prize he won at a carnival is kind of... but it's okay, they're friends..]

[ . . . hm. Still though he just gives her a small, grateful smile. It's a touch more fond than the other smiles he's given out thus far.]

It did. You're very talented.

[And you have his sincere appreciation and not his flattery. Bravo.]
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: (»  gather round children)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't say that. Even from the outside, it looked like something had gone wrong - all the windows became too dark to see inside and that's why I thought it would be better to investigate.

[So, probably not Fuuka's imagination. Though they're getting closer to the ground now and despite the fact that they literally fell from a crazy height, Jae-ha's landing lightly on his feet on the rooftop of on one of the buildings in the park. Then he's gently putting Fuuka back on her feet, though he does keep an arm around her waist.]

Are you steady, darling?
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?
