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)

//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.

You do kinda look like you'd enjoy red the most. Guess I'll have to be trying every flavor. Thanks for the heads up--

[ Wait, who are you again? ]

-- uh? Mind telling me who you are?

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-24 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe they're weak to obnoxious melodies and can't eat candy without getting sick? They're aliens, I'm sure they don't have to make sense.
aerialassault: (hands on hips -- try me)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-24 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's what all Earthlings said until they saw him in action.]

I'm a Klausian, [he explained, settling his hands to rest on his hips.] It ain't that big a deal, really.

"Bond?"

That's not a euphemism for something creepy, is it?

It'd be a sad, sad world, to be sure. Thankfully, one I don't have to live in, even if I'm sure it's out there.

[ But enough about that. ] You know... in that little orientation, there was a lot of things they were saying that I didn't really get-- though that could just be because I'm from a vastly different time. What about you? Did you understand most of it?

WAS THAT NECESSARY, MALIA? calm yo tits ]


Wh-What's the big idea?!

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-24 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Careful! If we're really up this high, plummeting to our deaths isn't going to help us either!

[ He's not sure if he wants to be consumed by a nameless monster or drop thousands of feet in the air. Neither of them is sounding really ideal, so he's just going to keep stabbing his seat with the blade and hope that does something (it probably won't.) ]
twomeals: ([awkward] 03)

[personal profile] twomeals 2015-03-24 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Water...

[The assistance is appreciated! Yue quietly follows him, away from the noise and the smells and the generally claustrophobic atmosphere. Because yeah, he was kinda drowning for a minute there.]
stagewright: (SPRITE ► magician's secret!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-24 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She's picked a stranger who is fairly friendly, at least! Even though Trucy's upset about her hat, she's always willing to speak to new people, and at least has no reason to holler at Malia.

Especially if she doesn't know what a magician is...have to give a good impression! Er, lack of hat aside. ]


Of course! How else can I advertise my skills? But you've never met a magician before?
candycoating: (059)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-24 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
A smiley face...

[ Okay, he gets it now. The ":" and ")" buttons are for smilies. He will remember this in the future! Especially when it comes to annoying people with them. ]

What other faces can you make with it?

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-24 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She's a bit bustier than Nowi-- ]

Just arrived, actually. You too?

[ h-hurrah for strange canons??

there is definitely a moment of quiet intensity when he turns back around to face her, but the moment is gone as soon as it happens, and within seconds he's the same gangly fortunate teen standing in front of her again, albeit slightly more sweaty now. ]


I owe you a lot, Miss Top Hot.

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-24 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
There hasn't been much occasion, that's all.
aerialassault: (thinking -- arms crossed like a boss)

No, Thank You.

[Cliff sighed. He really wasn't that backwoods at all. In fact, he had spent the better part of the last several months on some backwater little planet that was embroiled in it's own little war.]

I don't wanna believe it either, but I can't say it's the weirdest thing I've heard this week.

[He scratched his head, suddenly feeling a little sheepish, and reached into his pocket to pull out a a little hand held device.]

'Den den mushi'... [He tapped at it, as if that would help him find an answer.] Never heard that one before. What's it mean?

[And, more importantly, why wasn't his communicator working?]

[Lily had yet to notice the eye, the tentacle thing was gathering all of her attention currently. Though when it leaves she watches the man as he approaches. It takes a little more to scare her, thankfully.]

That ride is dangerous! I've seen lots of people come off hurt.
littlestbaskerville: and give me candy yes good i love you all too (✿ face-to-face it's so hard to actually)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-24 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Bouncing in place, like a child that needs more sweets, Lily watches as he gets the treats.

When she's handed the candy she smiles at Hide. Anything mean from earlier is forgotten at the moment.]


Thank you!

[Munching on it, she's making quick work of the candy.]
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8845162)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-24 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Because you're bigger! You can give me a piggyback!

[Lily hides her face as her chain continues to bark and growl. Are the lights ever going to come back!?]
candycoating: (061)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-24 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And taller... ]

Yup. Not too thrilled about it, but what can you do when the alien resistance recruits you against your will?
niceguypose: (Default)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-03-24 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wow what a masterful planner.

He shakes his head.]


N-no... It simply means a way of getting to know each other, like friends!
pixelacious: (MATRIX ► spritesplaining.)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-24 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly that. AndrAIa, originally from the Treasure of Atlantis.

[ Which might explain the whole mermaid thing she's got going on for Kuzuryuu. Because that's pretty much why...she's from an underwater game. ]

I don't know what a User is. Some people don't think they exist, but they're outside the Net, and input games. And system updates. [ Helpless shrug. It's weird that some people here seem to think they are Users...and AndrAIa's not really sure how to take it. Ask them why they play games? Tell them to run more virus scans than they apparently do? ]
aerialassault: (uncool -- do not want)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-24 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Why would you repurpose a--

[Cliff cut himself off, jaw abruptly snapping shut as he furtively cast a glance around the area for any small children. Then he leaned in and crouched a bit, continuing his rant in an agitated hiss.]

Why would you go and repurpose a goddamn dildo for arts and crafts?!

[The look in his eyes begged askance. Why, oh why, would you submit someone to that?]

Well...I mean, I'm not sure I totally get why those aliens are destroying planets - for fun? - but most of it wasn't hard to grasp, even if it was a little bad sci-fi movie-esque.

[ So she got the techy stuff, if that's what he's referring to... ]

Which parts didn't you get?

[personal profile] sjokolade 2015-03-24 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[As Anna was about to try to get some proper care over her injuries, she managed to see Yosuke nearby]

Me? [Puff!] Well, let's just say that a certain roller coaster isn't exactly as fun as they said it was! Who sents things that cut them in midair?! I want to get to the bottom of this right now!
stagewright: art by <user name=325587 site=pixiv.com> (GRIN ► haha i know right?)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-24 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Basically...there are few things that could throw her for a loop for more than a few minutes... ]

No problem! Shouldn't I be thanking you, too, Mr. Glasses?! After all, you saved me first! And...third?
