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.

WOW KOSY NO HOMO

[ A twitch of her wrist is all that’s needed to force two of the three robots to collide utterly. It’s so seamless, as is most of Pyrrha’s demonstrations of her Semblance, that it looks like the robots simply got their directional sensors mixed up and suffered for it.

Regardless, she moves when ordered to, pivoting on one foot to give Milla the space needed.

A moment passes. For comedic effect, possibly, or just the necessary beat needed to frame the shot - and then Pyrrha’s shield shoots out from nowhere, straight toward the "neck" of the third robot. If her aim is true (and with no outside interference, it should be) the last of Milla's foes will be decapitated.

All in a day's. You know how it is. ]

Aw, thanks, Daddy!

[ you're such a doting father, phoenix... ]

Don't worry! I can catch bullets with my teeth!

[ .............well, she can do that magic trick, anyway. it doesn't work on actual legitimate bullets being shot at her. ]

This isn't fair to them is it? We can't really do much about it now, but we'll figure something out.

My name's Shirou. What's yours?

[ Agreeably: ] It is pretty cool looking.

[ She'd kind of like to climb it, but that's probably not allowed. -- Briefly, she finds herself thinking that Nora would find a way regardless, and her stomach gives an unkind twist. ]

[So Yosuke remembers that encounter as well. Pharos still wonders if Yosuke was so embarrassed to see him in the movie theater because he's in this form.

His answer makes Pharos' shoulders droop a little but he's soon back to smiling, appreciative of Yosuke's offer. He means well and Pharos really would like to see Minato again.]


If you wish to, you may call me Pharos. And your name was...? [Yosuke doesn't appear to be the only one struggling but Pharos raises his small, cold hand and offers it to Yosuke for a handshake. That's the polite thing to do, isn't it, even if Pharos looks troubled by the fact that he's unable to remember Yosuke's name.]

[ He knows her well enough that her senses are already heightened and ready to strike at their attacker. In fact, he's pretty much prepared to fight alongside her, despite the nervous tension in the cart. He leans in closer in order to whisper. ]

Can you sense an Aura or anything? [ If not, Jaune has to wonder if it could be a Grimm... or a Flamine. ]

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-24 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Something in her cheeks twitch, a crook to her smile that could almost be considered arrogant. It’s rare to see from her, but not unfounded. Pyrrha would not have gotten this far if she did not enjoy combat; if she did not take pride in her abilities. When she stands, it’s the sounds that mark her actions: the firm click of her feels against the metallic floor of the carriage; the faint whoosh of her weapons unlatching from their magnetic hold at her back; her even, careful breath, in near-perfect sync with the hissing -

As she moves, spinning to catch the sound… the snakeskin stills, the lights flicking back on. The box is empty of anyone but them. And Pyrrha?

She nearly fumbles. In her surprise, she can’t quite keep herself steady, the floor shifting beneath her feet. ]


—oh.

[ Milo and Akuou are returned to their holding spots, but Pyrrha doesn’t hurry to sit back down. ]

Perhaps the ride is meant to be interactive…

[ From her expression, it’s clear she doesn’t quite believe her own suggestion. More importantly - ]

Are you alright?
punchesyu: (thanks a lot man)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
That's kinda a weird name. Ah, I'm Yosuke, Youske Hanamura. [He laughs quietly, and takes the kid's hand.]

Jeez, do you get any blood flow to the rest of your body...? [Because dang cold hand.]
reuser: (67)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-24 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, Pyrrha is just going to... quietly toss the present in the closest bin when Ruby isn’t looking. ]

I think you’re better off keeping the cotton candy.
reuser: (46)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-24 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The pause made by the garbage can could be, in itself, telling. But, finally - ]

AFFIRMATIVE. I WILL DO THIS FOR YOU, BEAUTIFUL ᴛᴇɴᴋᴀ. ᴋᴜᴍᴏᴜ.

[ ...

After a moment of waiting for the other shoe to drop, Pyrrha places the present in the bin. ]


THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION, FRIEND OF MY - bzzt - WIFE. I HAVE A LOT TO CONSIDER NOW. PLEASE VACATE THE PREMISES BY THIRTY FEET OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES.

You believe what they told you? [Clearly he doesn't at all.] World destruction doesn't happen like that. Especially where I happen to be from. No, I doubt they're telling the truth.
reuser: (67)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-24 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
NO, I HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT THAT ONE. TAKE IT AWAY.

[ Almost rolling her eyes, Pyrrha shares a glance with Shinjiro. ]

I'm not sure they can be reasoned with.

Jaune.

[ Seriously, boy. Close that pretty mouth of yours!! ]

[personal profile] arcanaofdeath 2015-03-24 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[...There might be the tiniest of pouts on Pharos' face as Yosuke comments on his name before it disappears again. Pharos himself thought the name he picked was fine but it seems Yosuke disagrees.

Maybe he should have picked something more common?]


Probably not!

[It may sound like a joke to Yosuke and Pharos sounds cheerful enough about it that it might as well be a joke. But he is rather sure there's no such thing as blood flowing through his veins.]

[ While he was not nearly as perceptive as Hide, there was definitely slight things he was able to pick up on; namely in his friend's facial expressions. How that smile never left, but it also looked so tired but he wasn't entirely sure why.

Had this been on his friend's mind for a while now? Just like it had been weighing down on his?

Those words hit him just like the ones before and a look along the lines of incredulous surprise and shock crossed his faced before slowly melding into a slight, relieved smile. Back then had been such a long time ago but a day he remembered clearly as Yoshimura gave him a place to stay where he ended up finding that the people within it became almost like family to him when he was still struggling to come to terms with what he'd become. It also wasn't completely surprising that Hide would have found a way to discover things sooner or later, really. ]


Eavesdropping on people's conversations, huh? I didn't think you were the type, Hide.

[ He sounded somewhat light hearted for that instance, almost seeming to tease his friend about that even if there was an unspoken sadness and air of loneliness about him. That tension from his shoulders dissipated somewhat but he didn't move closer. Not yet. ]

Knowing that... and what you've seen of me... you don't hate me for what i've become...?

[That is tragic news, and Yogi is suddenly very concerned.]

Oh, how come? Do you not like getting them?

Han, your sword! Use the sword!

[Thank you, Sokka, for that lovely gift. Especially since she can't reach her lightsaber or her own sword.]

I don't care-OW!-how long it lasts. I need my legs!
reuser: (41)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-24 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, she’s flattered, but she’s also going to defer as politely as possible. ]

You don’t need to get me anything. This isn’t a holiday we’d celebrate back home, after all.

[personal profile] flaredo 2015-03-24 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
If they'd thrown us into a forest with trees like these, I bet even Jaune wouldn't have screamed as much.

[ Ah... alas. ]
borntorebel: (Down time)

[personal profile] borntorebel 2015-03-24 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not really sure I'm interested in celebrating anything that involves having droids pushing us around.

[Droids don't do that back home.]

Watch the ones with the pointed ears. They seem the most aggressive.

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-24 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yang said the magic word, apparently. Something in Pyrrha lights up, brightening - not a blush nor a glow, but something entirely distinct. ]

Have you spoken to him yet?

[ Yeah, they're officially Talking About Jaune now. ]
borntorebel: (Check my six)

[personal profile] borntorebel 2015-03-24 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Paper? What a strange weapon to use, but she's using a sword made out of energy. Who's she to judge?]

Good. The best way to do this is back-to-back. [Considering the girl's about her height, it's nearly perfect. It also helps that she's not panicking so they can focus on the problem at hand.] I'm starting to regret leaving my sword elsewhere.
flaredo: (I hear the faint call of a damsel)

[personal profile] flaredo 2015-03-24 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
-- Wait, he's actually here?

[ From the way Pyrrha's glowing... ]
hatsoff: (getting real tired of your shit krei)

CLINGS ilu too

[personal profile] hatsoff 2015-03-24 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's surprising when Hiro backs away. That was...unusual, to say the least. He frowns, concern sweeping his face. To be honest, he's taken aback. Why would Hiro act like this? It wasn't a usual look of surprise, not frustration or annoyance. It was something different entirely. And that's what worries him. He starts to move his arm, to put his hand on Hiro's shoulder as a sign of reassurance, but he stops midway, dropping his arm again.]

Hey-- what's wrong?

[But even as he says it, it hits him. The memories of the burning expo, seeing Callaghan, seeing that beam falling. He had wondered how he got out of there alive.

But what if he didn't?

No, no. That couldn't be. Surely it was just the surprise of seeing him here, after being told their worlds were destroyed, with everything and everyone they loved with it.

That had to be it.

Right?]

[ He’s trying to help you, you beautiful Greek goddess! But he’ll take that as a no, which means whatever’s preying on them doesn’t have a soul. He complies regardless, since Pyrrha knows what she’s doing, instead he stands up slowly this time and calmly draws Crocea Mors.The shield is still compact for now, but he’s not going to say or do anything until Pyrrha says she’s ready. ]
