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.

Welcome to CEREALIA's latest intro post For your convenience, we have compiled a post detailing what's going on right here and feel free to consult the FAQ if needed. Please leave any lingering questions in the OOC post, and we'll answer them as soon as we can. OVERFLOW IS HERE!!!


fortheprincess: (make it alright)

1/2

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-25 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, he knows that face and exactly what that hand means. He really is sensitive, isn't he? Hak almost smiles, but when Yoon mentions that they've been here a while... Weren't they just together before this? It hasn't been that long, has it? ]

We all got stuck here around the same time, didn't we?
fortheprincess: (cause i really don't care where you are)

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-25 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
...And by the way, [ Yup, there's the smile. ] your face is red, Yoon.
particularity: (m ✣ take a drive)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-25 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
Then, no point in worrying about it right now. Let's eat.

[Just charge right in!! Just enjoy it since it's a rare opportunity--or, well, an uncommon one, especially for Hinata after so long.]

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-25 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ Judith isn't called the weirdo among weirdos for nothing, sorry Apollo. But she laughs, softly. ]

I'm surprised. Most people would have brought up my ears by now.
punchesyu: (THAT'S A DUMB REASON TO HATE SOMEONE)

so do we break the car open or have the lights suddenly snap on lolol

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-25 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not your personal chauffeur! [Or a horse?!]

Okay, that's it! I'm busting us outta here!

[And then in the small, compact car, a blue light starts to shine around him...]
niceguypose: (proud nice guy pose)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-03-25 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Er... Yes, that is true! Let us enjoy this youthful moment in the present! [He flashes a thumbs up.]
flaredo: (NOM NOM NOM GUNPOWDER)

[personal profile] flaredo 2015-03-25 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, funny story--

[ And she takes aim, sending out a Dust-powered shot to make poor Santa explode. ]

Apparently, time's wonky, or they took longer to grab your code, or some other excuse!
faithfulflame: Color by <user name=Messala> (Rei Curious)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-25 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[She stands up and glares around the car, fists balling up in white-knuckled nervousness as she tries to pinpoint something. Anything...as the lights go out.]

Positive. It was just us...at first...
twomeals: ([happy] 07)

[personal profile] twomeals 2015-03-25 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Sadly, Yue doesn't know anything about the situation either. He's had enough of a bad day already, without familiar people forgetting him, but. No. Keep smiling. Laugh it off. Things'll work out somehow.]

No, it was somewhere else...I don't know much about this place yet. [A pause.] Though I guess we're meeting here now.
troubadear: (Who is superior?)

[personal profile] troubadear 2015-03-25 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[But you said your name was Peko...] A pleasure, I am sure. [Parasol goes back to her front, held comfortably in front of her chest.]
troubadear: (Fall down a hole and bury me in it.)

[personal profile] troubadear 2015-03-25 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I would never have permitted such a thing. [Because she had a say in the matter??] To think that those dastardly fiends would make my darling Lissa grieve for me- no, it simply wouldn't do.

The ferris wheel isn't so directly vicious but it still partook in some... rather disconcerting illusions. I would keep your distance, darling, the experience was not at all worth it.
bewrightback: (sheepish)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-25 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Never doubt how much he can dote. Try.]

You know what, Trucy? I don't think those robots intend to be paying customers, so let's try not to give them any free tricks.
monkeyfu: (pic#8734421)

phase ii

[personal profile] monkeyfu 2015-03-25 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
[It might be safer, but there's nothing to fear around here right now.

Sun heard the sound of glass shattering earlier, and a beast's roar. But all he finds when he wanders into the room is someone collapsed on the ground.

...They're not dead. Or at least he thinks that they aren't. But he'll give Belph a small poke with the end of his tail.]


Hey, buddy. You alive there?
fortheprincess: (you got me beggin' beggin')

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-25 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yes, finally! He'd be sorry for the hold up except he isn't. Hak takes a seat near the other man, leaning his spear against the wall of the bus.

When he calls Hak's era old, Hak raises an eyebrow. Are they really that far ahead into the future? Where's this guy from, anyway. ]


Don't know if I would call it 'old', [ yes hak is is actually old ] but it's before a time like this. We didn't have 'robots' back where I come from.

You?
particularity: (f ✣ the view's)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-25 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Test subjects was as unpleasant as it sounds, Tanaka-- Hinata also has a particularly acquired distaste for being called a monster. And spirals.]

...Well, according to CERES, all we have to do is sit around and wait while they fix our world, but. Given some of the things that happen around here, we've got no choice but to be on our guard in case of something dangerous.

[But he trails off as he notices Gundam's attention on the food... wait. Hmm.] Tanaka? Have you eaten yet? [Idiot, he berates himself, Tanaka just came from that Funhouse, he probably hasn't eaten a proper meal in a while.]
Edited 2015-03-25 01:43 (UTC)
bewrightback: (give this one some more thought)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-25 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
I was worried, but I trusted them to make that decision themselves.

Seeing you right now makes me feel a little less confident about that decision.
punchesyu: (eeehehehhheheheh no.)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-25 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
W-What roller coaster is that? [He hasn't gone on this one.] It was trying to do what? [He examines her injuries. What the hell.]

Let's get you somewhere where they have a first aid kit first. [Because Anna totally wasn't doing that already Yosuke]
andimfine: (✓ 41)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-25 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
I heard that everyone here comes from a different world, so I just assumed that was the case. [ He's rubbing the back of his head, shrugging a bit. It would be a lie to say that he didn't hold his gaze on them for a moment for a couple of times, but he wasn't about to blatantly ask about them. ] Or I figured they were just a costume accessory.
Edited 2015-03-25 01:46 (UTC)
fortheprincess: (yona that white gold)

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-25 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sounds about right! ]

Yeah, that's my job. [ A pause. ] So the other guys haven't seen her around at all?
monkeyfu: (pic#8734537)

phase i

[personal profile] monkeyfu 2015-03-25 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[How they got stuck in the same cart, he'll never know. Sun wasn't paying attention earlier either.

But he definitely is paying attention now when he's grabbed. The darkness isn't an issue for him, but the main problem is that Weiss isn't just clinging to his arm.

She's got his tail in her terrified deathgrip as well.]


Uh, hey... hey, you mind letting-- Wait, Weiss?
notsosolo: (Default)

[personal profile] notsosolo 2015-03-25 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
I'm missing Artoo already.

[Artoo might occasionally cuss them out, but he never pushed them around like this.]

Your robots anyone like these?

[Since she seems to be familiar with robots as well.]
punchesyu: (dude that's not cool)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-25 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
You got it. Right through the screen, just like that.

But hold on a second. If the Shadows aren't just in the TV world, where the hell do they appear for you? You said something about a Dark Hour, what the hell is that?

[He feels like he needs a little more from Shinji before he continues on.]
andimfine: (✓ 3)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-25 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
We should really go find them, Mr. Wright.
shacklebreaker: (holding taka)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-25 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Taka is enjoying the attention, even from a stranger.]

It was very many years ago, when I first wished to take up falconry in the tradition of the samurai of yore. I met Taka then, and raised and trained him as my own... Thus he has been my loyal companion since, even where I had no other.
unluckless: (bluebird of friendliness)

[personal profile] unluckless 2015-03-25 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Komaeda blinks, not quite surprised. Not really because he's been met with worse reactions so to speak. But it is impressively emotive. Souda has a gift for those things.]

Ah... I suppose I startled you after all, Souda-kun. [Y-yeah. That's what it is, Komaeda. Keep telling yourself that. Except he's not. He's well aware it's not a startled reaction so much as a personal one, but he'll go on anyway.]

Are you all right?
