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 ❅

WHAT? YOU DON'T WANT ONE ❅
BUT I WAS PROGRAMMED TO CONVEY HUGGING AS LOVE THROUGH AFFECTION ❅
PLEASE DON'T RUN ❅
COME BAAAAACK, VISITOR ❅"

//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've kicked quite a few things that were worse than this. I'll be just fine.
kaba: (✿ That's pretty bald of you)

Re: phase ii

[personal profile] kaba 2015-03-24 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
You know you’ve got it bad when you feel the need to draw your fucking sword inside a funhouse.

Then again, that’s probably commonplace by now. Maybe he’s just a little too old for this kids’ stuff, but he can’t imagine how anyone could even have fun in here.

At least Aoba isn’t watching. At least.

Fuck.” Okay, they can do this. He’s pretty sure he didn’t break anything—on Shinpachi, anyway. But Koujaku’s on his feet in record time, and looking out into the huge, gaping maw of…that thing’s chest?

“Run the hell away, you—” Bastard dies in his throat as the monster lunges forward. Koujaku takes that split second to stand his ground with his sword upraised aaaaand—

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-24 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
... [ Well, since his hand is already up-- ]

Would you like to touch them and see for yourself?
particularity: (m ✣ you never did nothin)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hinata watches him... Since he has a propensity to overwork, it's hypocritical to give any advice about resting because hahaha he's so bad at it. At least Komaeda's around to make sure he does.]

...I get it. [Hinata too is far more used to doing as much as he can these days.] It feels strange if you end up with a lot of free time, like you're not doing enough somehow.

Just make sure to take some time for yourself.

buildyourworld: (Well then...)

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-24 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Just going to give the rude guy a look. ]

It was trying to hug me.

[ He likes his personal space, no one but Ptolemy's crew can hug him and even then, he's still selective about it. A robot owned by a suspicious organization? Absolutely not.

Haro will do what it likes, that includes ignoring people who are rude to Tieria. ]
shacklebreaker: wait that's edgeworth's thing (ngoooooooooooh!!)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-24 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[The downside to driving around in circles means that they're staying in the centre of the track, making themselves a target for other drivers.]

Athena, behind y--!

[WHAM. Too late, they're hit.]

We must avenge ourselves! Quickly!

[... He might be taking this too seriously. NO ONE RAMS THEIR CAR AND GETS AWAY WITH IT.]
hamham: like a cult. (I do not make homosexuality sound)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-24 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[No, he's completely misunderstanding. You can tell just by the suspicion practically dripping from his words.]

I see...and this Komaeda you speak of...is he the one present here?
particularity: (s ✣ is we can't move closer)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes...

[......] Tanaka? Is something wrong?
idealistic: ABORT ABORT ABORT (【SKIT】open mouth insert foot;)

[personal profile] idealistic 2015-03-24 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he can hear that breathing too, and he pulls her away from the source — wherever it is — as he tries to look for said source. ]

I don't know. Just don't let it get to you, oka--!!

[ oh god thaT SURE WAS THE CHAIR MOVING UNDERNEATH HIM ]
shacklebreaker: (delicious feather omnom)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-24 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
No, they did not. What do you know of them?
flaredo: (Annie are you okay--)

[personal profile] flaredo 2015-03-24 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
You can... ballet?

[ REALLY? ]
kaba: (✿ A hair-raising adventure)

[personal profile] kaba 2015-03-24 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hair is super important, Larry. Plus, it might take his mind off of nearly dying back there. They’re both lucky the swords missed.

Mostly. ]


No, no it’s not. [ He tries a reassuring smile. ] But…that kinda thing will take time to heal.

[ A pause, before he pats Larry on the shoulder. It seemed…appropriate. ]

I’m really sorry.
flaredo: (Got your sass riiiight here)

[personal profile] flaredo 2015-03-24 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll tell you inside.

... If you can handle carnivals for a good ten minutes. [ But there's also less of a chance of being overheard by the wrong people. ]
compossible: (Time Machine)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-24 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd tell you, but all I can see is your face and your manly body pressed close to mine.

[Sorry, don't mind the smirk on her face, she's just curious if he'd fluster as badly as Rexus or if he's actually not that sort at all.

And then he's suddenly clutching at her shoulders, and... aw, he's a really nice guy, isn't he? Though that doesn't necessarily mean she doesn't want to see him fluster anyway.]


I'm fine though. Don't mind the blood, it's from a previous incident. [She's starting to realize that that's the sort of thing she has to tell people before they panic over her blood-soaked dress. You know. Like normal people.]
buildyourworld: (Huh?!)

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-24 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Tieria is in the middle of a run to get her out of harm's way when the scene unfolds in front of his eyes and he ends up skidding to a stop in shock. Just... just what kind of people does CERES restored?! It looks like Tieria will have a lot to get used to in this world... and he's not sure if his blood pressure is ready.

But when she suddenly runs toward him, he considers moving aside but he's curious about what she just did so he remains where he is, bracing for minimal impact. ]
compossible: (Set Right What Once Went Wrong)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-24 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh god....... she's so concerned, that's not what she expected at all. For a moment, Elcia is so surprised that she just blinks at Saya, and then she lifts a finger.]

I'm fine. [Another finger--] The blood is all mine, yes. [And a third finger up as she counts off the points that people have been concerned about lately.] It's from a previous incident, so you don't have to worry.

Is that everything?
hamham: to pee in a cape (May I just say it is extremely difficult)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-24 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
How simple minded do you believe me to be, fiend?!

[Apparently, yes. Something is wrong.]

I cannot speak for the Tanaka you know of, but this one is not so easily fooled! Speak your intent quickly and clearly, before I decide to destroy you where you stand!

[personal profile] arcanaofdeath 2015-03-24 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Especially deadly theme parks! Those are clearly the best and they appear to be offering unsweetened lemonade, freshly squeezed from lemons. No one should look this grump when everything around them is all about fun.

Pharos blinks at Kuzuryuu's outrage before the smile is back on his face, walking around the bench to face Kuzuryuu properly. The way he'd almost jumped out of his skin had been amusing though.]


Is this better?

[There is amusement in his voice and Pharos doesn't make any attempt at hiding it.]
compossible: (Timey-Wimey Ball)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-24 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[The hell's America........

Bless you for not commenting on the blood, though, Nice, you get an extra 10 points.]


Nope. Do people regularly don red and white suits and try to stab each other? That sounds like a dangerous tradition.

[so why do you look so happy, elcia...]

[personal profile] arcanaofdeath 2015-03-24 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Pharos wasn't expecting that and he blinks up at Judith.]

May I?
compossible: (You Cannot Change The Future)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-24 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
You have a point.

[Elcia crosses her arms, nodding thoughtfully, and glad this conversation has actually approached normal conversational norms instead of... you know. BLOOD!!!

She really needs to get changed.]


It'd probably be even worse than the attempted stabbings if they tried to talk to us.
psycholawgy: (WHY I OUGHTA)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-24 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Why I oughta! [ She quickly steps on the pedal again to chase that car and hit them back, but then they get hit again by another car. ]

Ow— [ It was another yellow car! NOW IT'S PERSONAL. ]

Simon, remember their car numbers. We're putting them on target!
compossible: (You Can't Fight Fate)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-24 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[When she walks back out, she looks...decidedly more put together when her dress isn't covered in blood and stab holes. She's not bothered by the fashion, having gotten used to hopping timelines and ending up in whatever clothing worked for that time (teeth earmuffs) so she just wears whatever suits and is comfortable.

Yo.

She pauses upon seeing him, eyes widening a little.]


...You're still here?
guidetoblivion: edit by me (♞ 012)

[personal profile] guidetoblivion 2015-03-24 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Riku is so busy with dodging any bot that tries to herd him towards Robo!Santa that he almost misses it – the faint sense of familiarity, the scent of a heart that he knows. He freezes the moment he does catch it though, unguarded surprise on his face when he turns around to search for- her.

(The girl he has almost forgotten, that he is supposed to forget. He can feel her name on the tip of his tongue and yet it remains just barely out of his reach; but still there is no doubt about who she is – for all that it should be impossible.)

It doesn't take long until he has her in sight, even from behind the black coat is rather distinctive. He is already moving to go after her, reaching to catch her shoulder.]


Wait!

[He knows her... doesn't he?]

[personal profile] arcanaofdeath 2015-03-24 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[That gets a chuckle out of Pharos. This event is oddly fitting to him, seeing as Christmas is the time of the year when more people than usual yearn for the end.]

What would you have done differently?
