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 ❅

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.

Being new? Absolutely. It looks like most of the people here aren't new and just came to see what was up with the whole [ sweeping hand gesture ] carnival, and the rest of us got shuttled over with that distinct lack of explanation thing that seems to be trending.

[ She'd be okay with some more explanations. ]

Kiiind of don't see the point in dropping us off in creepy amusement park land, but at least we're probably not stuck here forever.

[personal profile] thatdamnknight 2015-03-24 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Another round of yelling almost comes. Almost. Flynn stops mid opening his mouth upon getting cut off by a little girl. His anger quickly shifts into a very confused look.]

What makes you say that?

[It is being very dismissive but can it really be so dismissive to not care that people got hurt?? Surely these 'robots' will listen if reasoned with! ...Even if the effort has thus far been completely futile.]
pixelacious: (HAND ► well let's see here.)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-24 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, there's not nearly enough ominous music for a horror movie file.

[ It's only partly a joke. She really would expect more ominous background music for that sort of thing... ]

Besides, they'd need to give us at least a vague explanation as to where we're going rather than none at all, right? Build the anticipation a little more.
bozu: (Grill - turning frequently)

[Oh, food!! Which means he's going to completely forget about what he was talking about, because food is so important.

Once he gets his from Hinata, though, he might be giving it a stare down...]


... I guess I can't tell if they used any fake ingredients just by looking at it...

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-24 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I can't argue that! The world without candy would just be all...vegetables? I mean, I like vegetables, but it'd just be plain sad!

[ WHATEVER, she agrees, candy is pretty cool. Although he has a bigger sweet tooth than her by far... ]
punchesyu: (WHOOPS U GOT CONTROLLED BY CREEPER)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[And that's left him speechless for a second.] T-T-This is way too much for me to handle. But like...

If you're not from Earth, then what are you? [Maybe he's a human from a colony out in space or something? He looks human...]
stagewright: (SPRITE ► c'mon you loser!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-24 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if you see one, let me know, will you?! It's, like, really important!

[ SUPER IMPORTANT. So important.

not important at all............. ]
stagewright: (SPRITE ► c'mon you loser!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-24 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Not one I know how to do...

[ Which isn't a "no"... ]

...Still, what was the point of that! It wasn't even advertised correctly, so how could people appreciate it properly?!
stagewright: art by <user name=4078866 site=pixiv.com> (HAPPY ► i can show you the world!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-24 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! [ And she is actually legitimately cheering...and not even defending her father against that remark. She is the best and most loving daughter/sister in the world, except no she's always up to make fun of people she adores...it's a tragedy. ]

The line is nearly to me anyway, so you can come along too!! It'll be soooooo much fun you'll wonder why you didn't want to go at first!

[ ...........or neither of us will go on rides ever again, who knows ]
shacklebreaker: (holding taka)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-24 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I wonder if such an object could be used to undo the destruction inflicted on all our worlds... Though such speculation is neither here nor there, if it was destroyed.

[And if it was corrupted... well. Maybe the worlds are better left the way they are.]
stagewright: art by <user name=522997 site=pixiv.com> (PERKY ► well y'know!!!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-24 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
The Kitaki family could cut us a deal, right?!
stagewright: art by <user name=325587 site=pixiv.com> (GRIN ► haha i know right?)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-24 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I am! And that's why I can't tell you how I did it! A magician never reveals her secrets...it'd totally ruin the magic!

[ But that was really only sleight of hand and a good eye, honestly. ]

I'm Trucy Wright, by the way!
bewrightback: (sheepish)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Phoenix sighs. He's had enough incidents to know it's wisest to just leave the cotton candy where it is for now. Phoenix just smiles sheepishly as he tries to cope with Athena's energy.]

You're as energetic as ever, Athena... But sure. I appreciate all the help I can get.
stagewright: art by <user name=2908488 site=pixiv.com> (SERIOUS ► welp you screwed up.)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-24 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I am! Trucy Wright, magician and newbie extraordinaire!

[ And a smile, even if there's no hat tip like there usually would be... ]

Do they greet everyone new this way? [ With the theme park of doom and Christmas, she means. ]
shacklebreaker: (ugh)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-24 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Gah! [And now their car is stuck in the pile-up of deadlocked cars. Wonderful.]

We must get out of this, lest we become trapped.
bewrightback: (sweating bullets)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh right... that family.

Don't they only cut deals on muffins these days...?
psycholawgy: (are tomatoes fruit)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-24 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
For one, Mr. Edgeworth is soooo much younger than you are! He's only 24 or something!

[ She hasn't done her math yet, sorry. ]
shacklebreaker: (eyes closed)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-24 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
How convenient...

[And how frustrating, that people here seem unable to hold CERES or its CEO to account.]

Are there any other incidents I should be aware of?
stagewright: (SPRITE ► magician's secret!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-24 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, of course! We just have to keep going 'till it does! After all, there're plenty of people on the case!

[ Like all these other poor bus goers, some of whom probably look less perky. She will try to cheer up as many as she can before they hit wherever-they're-going, though. ]

And if you ever wanna finish that sentence, just let me know, Kaito!
stagewright: art by <user name=4078866 site=pixiv.com> (WORRY ► that's bad.)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-24 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
O-Oh, sorry.

[ No, she was just planning to stand up and not sit on the chair...that is wiggling... ]

I wasn't going to move around too much, we're still waaaaaaay at the top. [ a beat ] Presumably, anyway.
punchesyu: (Yeah!  We're gunna kick that guy's ass!)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude if you can find some, I'm totally down! Hey, if you wanna find dessert, I'll wait here for the pizzas. We can park it right over there at that table. [He points to one of the many picnic tables littered about to let park-goers sit down and eat their food.]

How's that sound?

[Is this safe]
stagewright: art by <user name=4078866 site=pixiv.com> (EXCITE ► and for my next trick!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-24 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Arendelle? That's such a pretty country name!

[ Since she feels it might be rude to say she's never heard of it...it is a really pretty country name, so she will just focus on that. ]

Oh, all right. There's a bench right over there. [ Gesturing and not quite noticing the frost thing as of yet, though her reaction would be...genuinely Trucy rather than bad, probably. ]
psycholawgy: (WHY I OUGHTA)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-24 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She's trying her hard moving the wheel left and right as the car squirms to get loose and away from the others. It takes a while, but they become successful. And it's like the air cleared up around them too. So many cars sure made the smell of burning rubber get inside her nostrils. ]

Gotta hunt down Car 5 now!
stagewright: (SPRITE ► c'mon you loser!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-24 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Not in this park! And who knows when they'll finally let us go somewhere else! I didn't even want to come here to start with...

[ ...Well, she would have probably been okay with coming to a park had she known that was where they were going but NOT A PARK OF DOOM AND CHRISTMAS. Just a park of Christmas Only. ]
bewrightback: (give this one some more thought)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Um... Are you sure about that? I know he looks less old when he takes those glasses off... Maybe you're just confused?
