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.

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.

Oh...

[ It was more the kind gesture than the actual gift that he found overwhelming. D-Don't judge! ]

--zing! I was just joking, too, hahaha! [ He wasn't. ] Like I'd take something so suspicious, pfft! Give me some credit, will you? My mom always said not to take anything from strangers.

[ a pause. ]

Okay, full disclosure: I kinda regret saying that last part out loud. [ Please don't think he's a mommy's boy..! ]

[KAORU'S GOT SOME SAD NEWS, BUDDY...

But being rude like that is not at all befitting of a pretty princess, so instead of looking vaguely irritated, Kaoru just looks confused instead. Confused and maybe slightly off-put, because this guy is Gruff and a little unpleasant to talk to and Kaoru's used to the type of newcomers who just sort of stumble around looking baffled.]


If I'm going to talk like who, exactly...? I apologize, but I can't direct you toward something that isn't available to us.

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-24 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Just wandering around.. trying to avoid unpleasant situations after already experiencing the ferris wheel and one of those robots before. But of course another robot has to come over and try to hug him but wait! What's this? Someone taking the hug for him?!

Tears spring to Souda's eyes as he watches the guy hug the robot away, and he's touched at his words.]


Y-you'd risk your life for a stranger like me..?! [Calm down Souda he's not going to die...]
defeets: (» have i told you lately)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Alas, it's in the nature of the Green Dragon to opt for sudden, flashy, and probably very confusing displays of strength. So he's just as easily hopping right off the hunk of metal, leaving it crashed into the earth, and looking not at all like he suffered any sort of impact or injury at all. Rather, he meets Tieria's stare unflinchingly and with a smile.]

Can I help you somehow, gorgeous?

[200% thinking Tieria's a woman. Good luck.]
harepiece: (oh.....)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-24 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
[TRAPPED with only this scrawny kid here... But Oz doesn't look too panicked, all things considered, which might be a good sign! Maybe.]

It might! Or I guess it could just be a regular ride, but that's pretty rare.
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?
harepiece: (speak up)

phase i!

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-24 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
[WELL, after figuring out that weird shit is going on inside of the ferris wheel, Oz has taken it upon himself to mimic Jae-ha by flitting from carriage to carriage, trying to ensure the safety of its passengers.

So Yue may hear a knock coming from the outside of the window, quiet at first but then louder.]


Hey! Hey, I'm going to come in, okay?
harepiece: (what a tweest!!)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-24 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
[HE DOESN'T if the way he starts patting his pockets is any indication...]

Hm... Maybe we could get a long stick and use that, instead? Like the one that cotton candy comes on! If we both eat one, we'll have two sticks and that should be long enough for a safe reach!

[Maybe he just wants to eat cotton candy, though. A MYSTERY.]
harepiece: (always cheats at uno)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-24 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
They give students an allowance, but it's smaller than what you would get if you were working. Not so small that you couldn't live on it, though!

[He's just the One-Man Energetic Blonde Parade here, apparently, rattling off explanations like he's had to give them hundreds of times. He hasn't, of course - he's just good at hopping headfirst into conversations...]

And yes, that's ViViD! Some people use it as a training simulator but some people join competitions or complete tasks for points.
eggcream: (① Be careful of the wolves around you)

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-24 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Now, Souda isn't anyone who actually rode the roller coaster, he's too much of a weenie for that, but he does notice Hiro and the big balloon robot, and curiosity gets him to mosey on over with his face lighting up the closer he is to Baymax.]

Woah, what kind of robot is this? D-do you mind if I check it out?!
harepiece: (pouting like a brat)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-24 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
[rude..... THERE IS NO CONNECTING FLIGHT only inescapable shonen hell

But Oz will scoot on over to climb onto Jae-ha's back once he's at a better height, securing both arms around his shoulders carefully.]


How old do you think I am?

[HAIR PULLING IS FOR FIVE YEAR OLDS and people into weird things, but luckily he is neither five nor Jae-ha so all will be well.]
buildyourworld: (H-huh?!)

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-24 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ All the while, Tieria is just trying to understand the logic of how this man is still standing and isn't at least coughing blood from the impact of that spectacular fall. Just... is he even human? He's aware that CERES is restoring data from all over the universe but this is still a little over the top to witness.

His brows draw together tightly as he gives the stranger a once over, still trying to comprehend what happened. Never mind that he's talking to him, his brain is still in processing mode. ]
defeets: (» i know a lot about bad decisions)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
['Way too young for me to actually care' nearly escaped Jae-ha's mouth tbqh.

Then he goes for the far more safe:]


Teens? Now hold on and don't scream.

[Fair warning.... and then without one push off of his legs, Jae-ha is soaring into the sky with Oz on his back, though at least Jae-ha is kind enough to hold securely onto the boy so he doesn't have to worry or flail.]

[Wait...wait what?! There's a lot of things in EVERYTHING HE SAID THAT SHE WANTED TO QUESTION?!]

Ah...as honoured as I should be for you to offer a performance? Surely you jest-- [Hold he's standing up and bowing, she knows where this is leading to.] No, wait, don't even think about--

[And there he goes. Actually she did lunge out to try to grab him but missed, which is probably a good thing because that could've lead to a nasty as shit accident. Meanwhile, he's actually doing really...well?

She really is keeping her eyes on his back...(side. Cloak flying everywhere) though so it's not like she's wrong.]


Deities, you move so well!

[personal profile] verified 2015-03-24 09:04 am (UTC)(link)
You too! I can't do much, but...

[ hm, looking at the way he dresses and how cerealia seems to have pretty advanced tech... ]

If you need any help with your device or other electronics, I'll to my best to assist you.
eggcream: (③⑥)

on the bus! honk honk

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-24 09:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Souda.. well, he was actually pointedly trying to hide himself the best he could from someone who was sitting waaaaaaay in the back of the bus, and upon checking to see if that guy had noticed him, that's when he caught Tadashi's eye (who just happened to choose the seat behind him), and he freezes for a split second as if his cover's been caught before sinking back in his seat.]

Shh!! Keep it down, you're gonna blow my cover!
hoasen: (do you need this?)

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-24 09:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Yoon outmothers her, unfortunately. (Or fortunately?) But since she's given the okay, she's going to set up her thread now and proceed doing repairs!] Stay very still...

[And she pauses long enough to look at the device, before blinking back at him.]

So you haven't used something like this before?

[And then clears her throat.] Aha, perhaps later I can try to draw it out for you to allow this to make more sense. [Time isn't that hard, says sci-fi movies. Sometimes.]

[ No, dear, you go on right ahead and beat it up. Anything with the CERES logo on it deserves no less. Ryuko's just going to stare and wait for the girl to be done, before finally speaking up. ]

You must be new around here.
defeets: (» what're you doing tonight)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Processing mode sure but that once over sure is getting misunderstood!! So Jae-ha merely grins slyly then before moving closer to Tieria and bending at the waist so that they're closer to being at eye level. Well, Jae-ha did always like his ladies to be rather tall.]

Sorry, beautiful, did I scare you?
good_ideas: (geez || Just plain wrong)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2015-03-24 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
[She gives him an equally deadpan look (because she wasn't going to take a look like that. Never.

Also she totally knew he was talking about the cut. Yep.]


If you don't clean the cut properly, your arms and legs could drop right off later from infection.
harepiece: (it's unpossible)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-24 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah... the creepy uncle has arrived.

But what if he wants to flail, huh?? What if he wants to treat this like a thrill ride? In fact, with Jae-ha securing his legs, Oz just... LET'S GO..... OF JAE-HA'S NECK living on the edge. His hands at least come back to his shoulders eventually, but Oz sure is just literally leaving his life in this poor stranger's hands.]


oh—! The view is even better than it was on the ferris wheel!!

[Oops one of his hands is gone again, because he's holding it up like a visor over his eyes and LEANING BACK A LITTLE to get a better look out into the city... At least he followed the "don't scream" rule, okay.]
defeets: (» where did this sake cup come from)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Instinctively he wants to yell something back but it would be incredibly inappropriate about how he'd love to personally show her how well he can move--

But then he's swiftly kicking off another robot Santa's head before moving to the next one. And the next, and the next - and honestly, it's not that hard for him. They're not even that far apart and he's jumped much farther distances. So once they're all definitely just pieces of scrap metal falling apart, he's landing lightly right back into the seat next to her.

Then, more properly bowing now that the show is done.]


I do hope the show was to your liking.
defeets: (» you have my attention)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . oh, you hit the nail on the head with that one, Fuuka. He's already tilting his head, curious.]

"Device or other electronics"? What do you mean by that, Fuuka dear?

[personal profile] dishonorstudent 2015-03-24 09:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ Honestly, she doesn't want to be here as much as anyone, but she's been fairly composed and battle-ready about the whole affair so far. The howling sure is interesting, though... ]

Heh, what's the matter? Don't tell me you're scared of a little bit of smoke and mirrors.
