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.

[Even if he had or hadn't been hit again, he still flinches when Shirasu speaks. That was a voice he hadn't heard in a long time and yet he still remembered him so vividly that it makes him freeze in shock. Shirasu might find that he looks a little differently than the last they spoke - older and certainly less green behind the ears. That still did not leave him prepared for whatever the hell that had been.]

Shirasu...? [He asks, hesitant and almost fearful. He'd jumped hadn't he? Yet he was here, perfectly fine, so that meant perhaps there was a chance he had survived his fall into the water?]

Right! And allakazam! Allakazing!

[ Because she can't just "save" him without saying the magic words and dramatically pointing her (prop) magic wand. But after she says the words, there's an explosion of glitter and smoke.

She's going to need to restock on that stuff by the end of the night... ]


This way, Mr. Glasses! Let's make a break for it!

[ And run into the park she guesses since they really seem to not want them to leave the park just yet, but hey. ]

[Oh, this man looks angry. She hasn't encountered a lot of angry people yet. So this was new, so so since she wasted her food too.]

Y-you bummed into me too! My candy is on the ground too!

[A pause.]

Huh?
bozu: (so i remembered the mangas exist)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Ah - worrying?

[And now he's uneasy again, though he's quick to try and hide it, giving his friend a smile.]

Well, you know, there's a lot to worry about! Like those robots - getting shoved around wasn't really as fun as it looked, after all. And the way they treat their guests, it's just rude.
I'm pretty sure I saw one armed with a machine gun, too...

Not to mention the food here isn't even worth looking at.

But I'm much less worried with you here, you know! If anything bad happens, I can just leap into your strong arms for protection...!

[Sorry, Weiss... but he'll compete with you more later if you want!!]

I won't, I won't.

[He laughs as he catches a santa that comes in close, gripping it with his fingers, digging in before punching it back, a crunching blow that scatters it. Stupid things. He cocks his head as she calls to him, not looking away either as he cracks his knuckles slowly, appraising their company.] I can. Got something in mind?

[--teamwork? He's still not used to teamwork aside from his demons and even then.]
bewrightback: (thoughtful | thoughts might not be serio)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry to hear that. Things were going very well for me back home, too. [He says with a sympathetic nod. I still have Trucy. But what about our home...?]

If what they say is true... At least it might not be gone forever.
verified: (no doubt in my mind)

[personal profile] verified 2015-03-23 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ she's spent enough time with junpei to know that it's a joke at least! she shrugs a little and tries a smile. ]

I don't really go out much, so I could be wrong.
shacklebreaker: (eyes closed)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-23 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[He glances over to one of the robots nearby, fixing it with a sharp stare, before looking back at Trucy.]

I suppose we've no choice but to take them at face value... That they're armed for security purposes, nothing more. If they were rounding us up with intent to use those weapons, they would have done so already.

[Though it does beg the question, what kind of draconian place is this, to use machine guns as a method of security?]
bewrightback: (sweating bullets)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[He slowly pulls himself to his feet, rubbing at his head.]

N-no! I was just... dazed and confused! That's it.
littlestbaskerville: and i want sweets leT'S GET SOME SWEETS (✿ you will dance with me‚ yeah!)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-23 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Lily follows him to the stand and stares at the candy in wonder. This was going to be amazing! She pulls out her card and pays for her own before she bounces in place.]

Yes! Thank you! [She takes a bite and looks like she's in pure bliss.]

[Anyone ask for a vigilante knight? No? Well, you're getting one anyway...

Cue: many gunshots shattering some of the mirrors in a vain attempt to slow down the figures. She doesn't seem perturbed by them, or at least not until she hears an all-too-familiar scream in the distance.

Soooo, she might be taking this a bit more personally than that of a mere samaritan, as she soon unsheathes her blade, taking to viciously hacking away at them.

Nothing. Damn. Yeah, watch a headstrong young woman get knocked around by a bunch of ghosts. A+ for effort, tho.]

Normally, every two weeks.

[Peko pauses a moment to let the brevity of that amount of time truly sink in, before adding,] Though I have only experienced one myself. Even this is... somewhat after the normal pattern. It is as if something disrupted it, as I arrived here more than a month ago, and only experienced one glitch since my arrival.
deontology: (LXXV.)

bus...

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-23 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Sousei is not pleased by this at all. He did not want to be ushered onto a bus today. He did not want to be shoved into an amusement park!! Why are there so many lights? Why are there such huggy robots?

Why is there a really familiar looking kid threatening a robot with a knife?

Sousei blinks, very shortly surprised, and then he steps forward. He did tell Peko, after all, that he would protect her young master if he ever showed up, and here he is.]


That will not accomplish what you want.

[Robots and knives, not so good, he's realized. It's why Sousei doesn't even bother to unsheathe his sword before smacking the robot away with a satisfying clang.]

Blunt damage tends to take them longer to recover from.

[~the more you know~]
stagewright: (SPRITE ► arms crossed.)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
My hat has a pain scale of 10! [ Trucy, that's...not at all what was asked. She does recognize Hiro, but she's hardly focused on that, instead holding up the blue silk top hat. Which indeed is missing the top half of it...whoops.

...her arm is also bleeding but she is apparently ignoring that in favor of her poor dear departed hat. ]


Look at it! It's completely ruined!
sunshied: (12)

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-23 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
I- uh- yes, it did! Are you alright?

[His first instinct is to help her if she's injured or otherwise incapacitated, and so he scrambles to his feet to do just that. Unfortunately his movements are too fast for someone who's just had the air pushed out of them and so he stumbles a bit, dizzy and sore from the impact still. He keeps his cool, however, and moves closer to the girl.]

If you're hurt, we can go find help.
psycholawgy: (i'm all about that bass)

arrival!

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-23 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Looks like she arrives just in time... to take out the trash. Or something. ]

You can't possibly not want go to i— [ Wait, it's Simon again. Shouldn't he be working? She pulls up a teasing grin, just for him. ] Simon! I see a certain someone wants to ride the bumper cars today.
fortheprincess: (if you sexy then flaunt it)

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-23 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ uh wait aren't you supposed to be dead

...Okay, Hak had a gut feeling that this whole ViViD thing was nonsense, and this is the icing on the cake. But he'd be lying if he said he wasn't stressed as hell over the whole issue possibly being...real. But no he doesn't need help, creep. ]


You're trapped, too?
verified: (& there's no one)

[personal profile] verified 2015-03-23 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ she feels you, anna. she really does. ]

That's what I thought too. We've never had this kind of Christmas themed carnival back home, but I'm sure they're usually family friendly.

[ not, you know, life threatening. but anyway, fuuka gives her a quick once-over, looking concerned. ]

Are you okay, though? I don't have any medical supplies on me, sorry, but I can help you look for an infirmary?
particularity: (m ✣ vainly)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[It's not a stupid robot, it's just stupid Hinata-- Wait, no, just Hinata. Ahem. And Kuzuryuu might notice that his eyes are red but that ain't no thing don't even mind it, 'cause he's pretty busy looking at the cut under Kuzuryuu's eye like what happened now... did you get in a fight...]

Huh? Bus?

[--ah, that's how they got here?] No, I've been in the city for a while already. Did they just go and bring you guys straight here after their explanation...? [Did they really think that was a fantastic idea????? Who is in the mood to go to an amusement park after that powerpoint? Hinata knows he hadn't been.]
sjokolade: (Don't mind me over here!)

Wow, totally the wrong icon there

[personal profile] sjokolade 2015-03-23 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Meanwhile, Anna didn't respond for a few seconds. At first, she stared down at the awkward teen before looking back at the snowbot at the other side.

Oh...

Oooooooohhhhhhh.....!]


Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that! I uh...I thought that hugging would make it better and...!

[...Well, now what?]
hamham: like a cult. (I do not make homosexuality sound)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-23 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[...

He was going to eat that wow what the hell?]


It is better than what I have had for the past week, so I am hardly going to complain.

[Also he paid for that??? You just wasted money, you'd better be able to pay him back!]
troubadear: (You- you beast!)

Phase III

[personal profile] troubadear 2015-03-23 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Maribelle rushes off the rollercoaster herself, her hair a mess as one of her ribbons had been sliced to bits and her parasol gripped like a baseball bat. She may have been using it to try to deflect the swords.]

They- Are they attempting to have us killed?! [Too shocked to even be horrified by the cursing for the moment!!]
bozu: (Grill - turning frequently)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Alright? Well, I mean, I'm not hurt, aside from all that shoving those robots did.
And I can't even stomach looking at the food they've decided to sell, either.

But I'd say I am, yes! Er... are you? Those robots were rather forceful, you know, and not just with me!

[He's delicately skirting anything else that he could be mentioning, of course; giving her a smile he hopes seems at least sort of reassuring?

Even if being in a car on a ferris wheel with Peko might not be the safest place he could be, right now.]
swordboning: (pic#8713736)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-23 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Is this a constant feature of your life? Or do sudden, random onsets happen to you?

[ The last he'd seen the second Kumou brother had been when the city had been affected by something which changed their personalities. The boy had been concerned, but they'd parted with no real resolution. That had been some time ago.

He can read the emotions on Soramaru's face and immediately holds up his hands in a gesture of surrender. ]


I promise I did not attack you just now.
