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.

[Naoki's listening carefully, hearing her as she stands, that sound... weapons, he thinks. But then thanks lights, way to nearly blind him, and Naoki flinches as it floods against sensitive eyes. He snaps them shut, fire dissipating from his hands.

When it won't smart, he opens his eyes, looking around suspiciously, waving some smoke from his fingers.]


Or whatever it was thought better of messing with us?

[A wry grin.] But, I'm fine. [A little annoyed at stupid darkness and stupid snakes at least have the decency to attack--] And you?
andimfine: (✓ 46)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-25 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly! [ He gives a nod, smiling a bit because of her quick understanding. It’s also a self-esteem booster for him, but he wouldn’t admit that aloud. ]
sugarcoats: (018)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-25 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Believe me, I'd normally never, ever get rid of a present. This is a special circumstance.

[Well, that's no good, so Yogi just pulls the box a little closer to himself, trying to keep it closed and out of sight.]

It's er, it's private? I mean, I'm not keeping it, but they're kind of delicate things and I don't think it really matters because it's got to go in the trash anyway!
andimfine: (✓ 45)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-25 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ He shoots Phoenix an incredulous look. ] You let them go on the rides?
impheired: because i woke up to a trail of sugar cubes leading to my bed (stare ♚ just how uncooperative was i?)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-25 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Why is he meeting so many spazzy weirdos today...what the fuck...]

Oi! You wanna stop bouncing for a goddamn second and explain yourself?! [Wait. Wait hold on. Her reaction is fairly similar to Lee's and 2 + 2 = 4...] ...you mean Peko, don't you? Peko's your friend.

[PEKO IT'S LIKE HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW YOU ANYMORE. IF THESE ARE THE SORTS OF PEOPLE YOU CHOOSE TO BEFRIEND...]

[ With the added advice, Apollo suddenly appears quite sheepish. ]

Oh! Ah, thank you for letting me know!
andimfine: (✓ 17)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-25 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
They’re all here? [ A look of relief washes over his face. And, seeing Athena appear so down, he offers her his most reassuring smile. ]

Now you don’t need to worry. We’re all here together, and that’s how it’s going to stay until we all figure out how to get back home.
carptricks: (Cause I feel like)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-25 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
-- what? Hey!

[HE HEARD THAT. and spins around to face Athena. did she say that? it sure didn't sound like her. . .]

It's not cockiness, it's confidence!
andimfine: (✓ 4)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-25 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ Wonderful. Who knows when they’ll get to go? Or where they even get to go after? ]

We should stay together until we figure it out. [ And after they figure it out. It would probably be the safer option. ]

[He doesn't blame you, Truce. He really doesn't.

Sun hums to himself at her explanation, examining the box and even holding it with his tail, shaking it around like how a kid would shake a wrapped present on Christmas. At least there's something in there!]


Never heard of it before. [More shaking.] So when is it?

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-25 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, sure, Polly! I want to hang out with you, too. [ As usual, Trucy will just hear this in the way she wants to hear it...

But hey, place with the water. Trucy will turn over a few tickets in exchange for the drink, which she'll then hand off to Apollo. ]
perfectstrike: (500% done)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-25 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Not intentionally.

[Surely he wasn't stupid enough to approach the robot on his own, right? Right...? Right....

Once it's clear that the snowbot isn't pursuing them, she lets go of his arm and crosses her own, giving him a steady stare. She hasn't had a negative reaction from any of her classmates yet, but, well, Souda had always been one of the first to accuse her of murder in both trials.]


Are you injured?
carptricks: (If it's jug band music)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-25 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
If you can actually call it "hospitality."

[he says dryly]
stagewright: art by <user name=392119 site=pixiv.com> (TEASE ► i was joking silly!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-25 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
December 25th! Which is...not today? I don't think? But anyway, I'd open the present now if you do it at all. It's probably something suspicious!!

[ Just going by the overall theme of this park...

Christmas and SCARY HIJINKS. ]
carptricks: (Default)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-25 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
[WHAT A GOOD QUESTION HIRO]

Preeeeetty sure the mirrors are haunted with-- something. [who the heck knew what that something was, though]

The lights went out before they attacked, and they only stopped once the lights came back on again.

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-25 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Well, then-- [ a nod. ] I'm Judith, and I'm also fine.

[ because she is! ]

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-25 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Fight them?

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-25 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you should educate it?

[ Because Judith would be a poor teacher. ]
carptricks: (I would clearly feel blessed)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-25 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
[at that last statement, Kaito sobers]

Yeah. . . [and then he give a thoughtful pause]

You seem to be handling it pretty well, though.
andimfine: (✓ 32)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-25 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
That's not what I- [ Forget it. Anything else he says is going to go through one ear and out the other.

He accepts the water with a nod, and he can't help but inspect it before taking a sip. ]


carptricks: (jar jar jar)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-25 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Finish that-- what?

[he blinks at her, a bit surprised she picked up on his incomplete thought, but hey. she's a magician, right? magicians were always the perceptive sort]

That? Haa, don't worry about it. I was just thinking out loud, s'all.

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-25 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
You can't deny their enthusiasm, at least!
monkeyfu: (pic#8734552)

[personal profile] monkeyfu 2015-03-25 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Good thing she's with someone who does fight like this!

The pole slams into the robot's midsection before it can even grab onto the cart, and Sun throws his weight backwards, sending the bot flying. He doesn't blame her for getting tired and worn out. They've gone through about half of the hoard, but the remaining Santas are still whizzing around energetically.]


We just need to keep hitting them hard enough so they won't get back up. We'll get through this, okay?!

[He separates his staff into it's component parts, and starts spinning one of the nunchucks defensively while firing off a few bullets with the other.]
perfectstrike: (unseen)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-25 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
...

[As she's prone to do, Peko doesn't answer immediately, instead glancing toward him without turning her head. She doesn't miss the implication behind why he would be thinking about falling -- it's the same reason why she won't ever eat tempura again.

So she won't tell him that with her level of distrust for CERES, it wouldn't really surprise her if the wheel were to break down somehow.]


Try holding onto something, [she offers as advice instead. There's handles, or the seat itself he can hang onto, so that could help.]
stagewright: art by <user name=4078866 site=pixiv.com> (PLEASED ► so then i was like.)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-25 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, it also trailed off there, bro... ]

If you say so! I'm not the sort to pry.

[ ...VICIOUS LIES. ]
