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!!!


verified: (where you belong)

Yes, they are. But, ah, sorry I should probably explain a little more.

[ she brings up the contact list, showing him the names of everyone in cerelia and their number. ]

A phone is basically a communication device. It allows people to talk to one another over large or small distances instantaneously. As long as the person you want to talk to has a corresponding device and number, you can talk to them anywhere at anytime. Think of it like how you would write a letter to someone, you would need their address in order to send it to them. In this case, their phone number would be the address and instead of writing out your message, you can say it to them.

[ she won't go into the whole service zones because that'd probably be even more confusing. also, look at how she explains all this to him, she's so relaxed and happy. what a nerd. ]

I think they included everyone's number so it would be easier for us to contact one another. This is actually a more advanced model than what I'm used to, but it does make things more convenient.

[Sure he was joking. Shiho raises an eyebrow at him before shaking her head to hide a laugh.]

Only kind of, huh? And you were so ready to take that thing before, too.

[She gives it a kick and watches as it rolls in a lazy arc.]

Well, it doesn't matter. Maybe someone else will take pity on it and put it in a blender.

[ She crosses her arms and grins at Tieria's direction. ]

Then I guess you've never heard of robots with hearts! Lots of analytical psychology data coded into them.

If you find the item suspicious, shouldn't you... dispose of it yourself? I mean, in a more permanent way.

Wouldn't want some poor goofball to take it home now, right? [ An idiot like himself, he's thinking! ]

Not sure what a valet is... I'm her bodyguard.

[ No really that's not a term used often where he's from so have a shrug. Little does he know that it's the same thing..... ]

[ Is he... for real... Ryuko breaks these stupid machines on a daily basis just fine. However, she's not one to turn her nose up at a friendly stranger, in fact she's kind of fascinated by the pathetic display of selfless sacrifice. ]

My hero.

[ She doesn't seem to be running, however. Instead, she's stepping closer towards him and the robot he's wrestling with. ]

fortheprincess: (are you serious)

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-24 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...Oh. Oh. Well, that makes more sense.

Hak lowers his spear and turns to the girl, who's a lot shorter than he'd thought, and he raises an eyebrow. ]


And we're taking orders from these things?
fortheprincess: (and there's some things we need to do)

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-24 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
The goddess of fortune frowned upon me and decided to punish me for losing the Princess.

[ Definitely.

ANYWAY Hak takes the lead, using his height to his advantage and scanning the crowd for any signs of Yona. He can't see anything yet, and any sight of red hair, well, doesn't belong to her. It's going to be a long day. ]

[They are very nice ears, at least??]

That's right, that's right. I know that sounds ungrateful, but if they're just thoughtlessly giving out presents without putting even a little bit of thought into it, then what's the point?

[personal profile] dishonorstudent 2015-03-24 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
Did you just apologize to a machine?

[ Or even try to reason with it? Yeah, Ryuko can definitely tell this guy's new. ]
hoasen: (hmm?)

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-24 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
It is? A-ah I mean, thank you?

[That's a first, usually people are like lol das a country. She's guessing he's from a place that doesn't really have it...her.]

But ah, it is not something cool, like Mercury.
fortheprincess: (and i got a better body)

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-24 10:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ (I'M NOT EVEN SURE) And he will stay still. Needle pokes don't bother him really, but he'd rather make the job easy for her. ]

It's the first time I've seen anything like this. [ He then gestures to a robot nearby, escorting some unwilling guests into some of the rides. ] Or that.

Maybe. I have some things I need to finish first. [ Like finding the Princess and the rest of the crew, for instance... ]

[(AMAZING EITHER WAY). And yes good, because otherwise she'd freak out more and he'd be here forever. And then they'll freeze to death and it'll be unfortunate. Sewing sewing...pauses to look up!]

Oh? A robot? So these are all ahead of your time, I am guessing? What was it like back home? [She's good with getting the year too.]

Ah yes of course, do everything that you must. There's still a lot to do, such as settling down in your living space.

[Seeing that she really is in control of the dog-like creature lets Yogi exhale softly, though he keeps an eye on Bandersnatch even as Lily runs towards him.]

That's right, we have things that well, they remind me of your Bandersnatch here. They're more like wild animals though, and there aren't too many people that can do what you're doing right now.

[It's not the time to be mentioning that the altered animals at home are abominations, so Yogi just smiles, though not as warmly as he would like.]

You've got some pretty amazing talent there, I have to say!

[personal profile] dishonorstudent 2015-03-24 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ryuko scoffs at that question. ]

Apparently I made it to Santa's "naughty list", so go figure. Though last time I checked, Santa Claus wasn't exactly a metallic hunk of nuts and bolts.

[ It takes a real delinquent to be refused a present from the naughtiest of robot Santas. Or maybe it was rewarding her, all things considered. ]
kicksilver: (it's easy to do)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-24 11:02 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, hello. Mr. Quiet over here decided to speak up.

[ He'd address the rest of the crowd, but it seems that they all went ahead of them. It's just Shirou and Mercury left by the mirrors. ]

And just a little bit. World destroyed, and all. I don't really have anything else to do now.

kicksilver: (you've had enough of two hand touch)

wow rude

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-24 11:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ That earns some laughter on his end. ]

Good one. I haven't heard that in a while.
sugarcoats: (024)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-24 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Confusing is one way of putting it. He smiles, blinking back the tears that are threatening to fall; the mingled happiness at meeting someone so kind and the bewilderment of everything else going on is a lot to handle for him right now. He does at least smile for a moment thinking about the way a festival like this is supposed to feel.]

Eh, we do have things like this back home-- Circus always puts on a really amazing show! But never like these, with all these bad things happening, no. This sort of festival is supposed to be happy and a place where everyone can have fun and relax.

[He frowns at an angry little snowman robot aggressively hopping by.]

Honestly, this whole celebration just feels twisted around all wrong.
kicksilver: (011)

I don't hear that often, but you're right. I'm pretty cool.

[ It’s fortunate that the coaster car is spacious enough to provide them with the needed leg room. The terrain is uneven, from floor to seat to the waist-high walls to box them in. When Sun stands, so does Pyrrha. The metal bar holding her in place snaps open, her fingers barely grazing it, and her movements are half a dance as she remains valiantly upright. Duck, Sun shouts. Pyrrha would rather hurl her shield at the incoming Santa. The collision is rendered noisily; Akoúo̱ cuts through the robot’s midsection. Metal screeches against metal as its inner workings are severed. ]

This way. Hurry!

[ If might be easier to fend off these killer robots as one. Having gotten used to working as a team, and in a partnership, Pyrrha feels the loss of both - but Sun will do in a pinch! ]

[WOW WHAT A HUMBLE DUDE. No but he thanked her so that...counts for something.]

You're welcome, it is impressive that you are so sure of yourself. Though, really, do you not get to hear that often?

[Read: He looks like a Korean idol.]

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-24 11:09 am (UTC)(link)
[That seems rather secretive, but Yogi isn't going to pry too much, at least not right now. Being secretive was a normal enough reaction around strangers.]

Oh! So you understand then! Really, what were they thinking, giving those out to everyone? I thought giving out presents was supposed to be a good thing.

[Tiny adorable yet judgmental robots aren't being too helpful, but it is right.] Your little friend there is pretty smart, isn't it?

C'mon, man, open it! It can't be worse than mine.

[ Hello Sun. Have an overly excited Jaune peering at your present. They can talk about the whole alien invasion later, but solving this mystery takes priority right now. ]

Nope. People don't usually talk to me. Rough life, huh?

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-24 11:13 am (UTC)(link)
Really? [Wonder why? He seems friendly enough? (Hahaha)] It is a little surprising. You can change that here, no?
