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 ❅
YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT THE SANTASTICAL FOREST OF CHRISTMAS WONDERS ❅
PLEASE ENJOY ALL THE RIDES CEO JULIUS VINCERE HAS HAND-PICKED FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT ❅
WE WISH TO BRING YOU MERRY FEELINGS FOR THE HOLIDAY ❅
COME GIVE SNOWTRON 5000 A HUG ❅
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.

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[DODGED A BULLET...]

A-- Aa, sure. Within reason. [WITHIN REASON. But he looks up and.] Looks like they're done. Hang on, Hanamura.

[Waving his hand, Hinata will go and fetch them their apples before returning.]
eggcream: (④⑧)

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-24 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
...tch, I can't believe you're seriously asking me this. Do you think we're friends or something? Have you forgotten everything that's happened in the past? [...though, you know, he's actually not that bad when he's trying to be civil and when Sonia's not around for him to steal away. And also.. he did kind of sacrifice himself for the good of everyone else, didn't he?

...

Okay fine, Souda'll play along and try not to punch his face in for now, but it's only for today! As soon as the sun comes up tomorrow, it's back to being mad at Gundam for literally no reason (of course, that's only if he can actually stand Gundam for the entire. Day.)

With another scoff, he shoves one of his cotton candy sticks into Gundam's face.]


Just take one of mine, my appetite's pretty much gone after having to look at you again.
miyamura: (pic#5555038)

[personal profile] miyamura 2015-03-24 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ HOW DARING.

miyamura had been struck silent by the other boy's heroic return and gesture, unable to do much else but stare in wonder while the essentially dismantles the robot.

once he feels those metal arms loosen, he shrugs the rest of the robot off him, slowly rising back up to his feet. ]


You... You came back for me!

[ If nothing else, she's happy enough being led. Pyrrha's quite happy to see Yang in general, her heart warming with the knowledge that her friend hadn't been lost in Remnant's (alleged) destruction. ]

How about over there? [ Nodding to the lit up Christmas tree, several dozen feet high. It's pretty and she wants to see it up close, okay. ]
bewrightback: (all i have for you is this single sweat)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not the hair!

He grunts under the force of Athena's hug.]


Trust me, I'm still in the process of the 'believing' stage myself!
eggcream: (①⑧)

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-24 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
B-but... but I love Sonia-san! Who else can compare with a princess like her?! [DONT. DONT BREAK HIS HEART LIKE THIS STOP TELLING THESE LIES]
psycholawgy: (please stop stalking me zura)

arrival;

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-24 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Athena had just arrived on a separate bus, and managed to overhear what Larry said while passing by. ]

Excuse me. Are you new?

[ She looks completely surprised, because there hasn't been any new people for a month now. Apparently, people came in every two weeks. It made her very worried because she was banking on the CEO and the rest of natives to keep on recovering people's codes. ]
pixelacious: (MATRIX ► spritesplaining.)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-24 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah...not just yet, Pearl.

[ But she's only really looking for two people. Matrix and Frisket. It's way too much to hope that any of the other Mainframers will be here, isn't it? Or maybe not. But so far she hasn't seen anyone remotely familiar. ]

But if you see a big green guy, let me know, will you?
eggcream: (④ It feels like I’ve been hit)

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-24 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course, a true man wouldn't run away from someone in need! [Actually, that's just something he's saying and it's not at all something he of all people would believe in unless he was the one in trouble BUT ITS FITTING FOR A SITUATION SUCH AS THIS]
psycholawgy: (this reminds me of a puzzle!)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-24 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She fixes her visor when she lets go, and gasps at the sudden... change in her cotton candy's shape. She was sure there was more of it earlier. ]

There's a lot you're in for, boss! I'm so glad you're here. Let me help you settle down!
pixelacious: (HANDS ► chill out bro.)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-24 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Would you look at that. What's in the boxes?

[ Are they bombs. She's going with "they're totally bombs". ]

Don't open them if you hear ticking, tiger.
hamham: This is what I need to live up to. (Grandpa got a dui while riding a horse.)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-24 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well hey, that was part of the point of that speech. As much reassurance as it was confirming that he trusts you not to betray him. So it's good he thinks that way, even if he's the only one.

But the stalls catch his eye as they start to pass them, though he listens intently as his friend speaks.]


Test subjects...

[It's sort of mumbled to himself, gaze leaving the stalls to look his friend over instead. "Test subject" isn't a good label.]

So this CERES then is doing something similar, however we seem to be filling the position of warriors for them instead? Intriguing. Asking someone of my caliber to fight for them...it's not a bad tactic, though thinking I would go along with it is stupidity at best.

[And back to scrutinizing the food. Hinata was fine, he was sure.]

Of course, if they're asking you to do battle as well, I have no choice but to accept.
pixelacious: (HANDS ► chill out bro.)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-24 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Copy and paste that.

[ AndrAIa is more than ready to clear out of this area, thanks. She's also not interested in triggering that attack again - not unless shew knew how to end it for good, which she...doesn't - and so she starts to move, but fairly cautiously. ]

I'm AndrAIa. [ In case you need to shout for her. :| ]
bewrightback: (flattest of flat looks)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Trust me, you're not alone. [He gives a groan as he looks around at their surroundings.]

A mix of tackiness and horror... I guess that's what you get when it comes to some strange people from another universe who probably only know about this kind of stuff secondhand.
deontology: (XVI.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-24 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[... A sigh, faint and simple.]

They stated that it was a virus, and they apologized for the "inconvenience". There was no way to contact them at that time.

[...]

Following the other scenario, there was a statement that the CEO was away on a trip, and thus the malfunctions.

[can you see the trends here, they're just stupid]
masakados: (that reminds me)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-24 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
If it's something serious... yeah. I want to have the answers to it. [Naoki's expression slips into something a little more serious.] But, in the case of a hobby, I don't mind not knowing for certain.

[However, if it were like the Vortex World, or here, the lack of answers frustrates him beyond belief. He just covers this up.]
miyamura: (pic#5144217)

[personal profile] miyamura 2015-03-24 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ oh man miyamura doesn't think he's ever been in the presence of a True Man before!! though ishikawa comes pretty close, except when it deals with hori then it's just kind of embarrassing for everyone involved.

anyway...

this strikes miyamura right in his delicate kokoro, who's never been giving such a kind gesture before in his life! this.. this is truly friendship!! ;~;

excuse the dokis. ]


I'm touched... there has to be some way I can repay you!
pixelacious: (GOSH ► i never knew.)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-24 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I wouldn't argue that...

[ ...Those are curious things to have in his lap. The gundam thing sort of looks like that giant robot that Phong had made them all that once, to fight Nullzilla. Nostalgic.

It also reminds her of at least a dozen different video games. ]


...But I meant more the part about being backed up and worlds being destroyed.
flaredo: (Now THAT'S a thrill!)

[personal profile] flaredo 2015-03-24 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Perfect! [ Come, comrade, to the giant tree. She's just as relieved to see Pyrrha, intact and unharmed... albeit here. ] A lot of this is just plain weird, but I've gotta admit, I like the tree.
emotive: (You've got a strange magic)

[personal profile] emotive 2015-03-24 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's just uselessly sincere all day, everyday (except for those small moments where she can be somewhat sardonic...)

Ai smiles back at him, genuine as can be.
]

Thank you! I'm glad to be of use when it matters.
bozu: (bites lip gently :9)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-24 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, Souda-kun...

You're so fresh, innocent and sweet, almost like a branch of Niagara grapes!
Anyone can compare to a princess if you love them enough!

It all has to do with what's in here.

[Reaching up, he places a hand delicately on Souda's chest.]

... Or much, much lower, if you're that kind of guy. [~~eyebrow waggle~~]

Just keep yourself open to options - you never know if there's a cute girl out there who'd fall for you the instant you meet!
pixelacious: (HANDS ► chill out bro.)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-24 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Their memory banks have probably been wiped of the entire thing, or they're programmed not to acknowledge it. You miiiiight be wasting your processing time here.

[ More than a little bit, not that AndrAIa can blame Flynn for the attempt. Hell, she understands exactly how he feels, although she's pretty sure all the attractions have something wrong with them by this point. ]
hamham: and yelling "YOU USED TO BE A DINOSAUR!!!" (Apparently I was pointing at birds)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-24 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[There's only an unnerved silence from Gundam as he sort of stares at the stick. Yeah only so much of that is really considered the "past" for him, Souda. He hasn't forgotten, though he was hoping to let it slip for a little bit so he could try and figure this place out and fill his stomach instead.

Lifting a hand to dismiss the stick. He's legitimately lost his appetite for the time being.]


...a simple yes or no answer would have sufficed.

[So which is it? He definitely looks like he's ready to leave you alone when you give him the answer, so the sooner you tell him the sooner you'll be rid of him.]
punchesyu: (MIGRAINES SUCK)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yosuke is shaking like a leaf, eyes closed tightly despite the fact that he can't see a thing. He's accepted his death, they'd both go here. This was the end and he didn't think that he'd get to experience death so soon in his life. Even though apparently he'd died once already when his universe was destroyed, but hey, he gets to do it again now. He's clinging to Rei, face pressed up against her own now as he awaits his fate.

That is, until the power comes back and the lights snap on. Little whimpers can still be heard as he hasn't quite noticed this development.

Why isn't he dead yet?]
