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 ❅

//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!!!


mermaiding: (That even lovers drown.)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2015-03-25 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[As annoyed as Oona might be by her inability to be totally helpful above water, she's pretty okay with leaving the fighting to him now that she sees that. Staff-turned-nunchuck guns?!

She lifts her head to watch him in open-mouthed awe. Note to self: Inquire about getting a weapon like that because it's cool as hell. Oona looks down at her hands in mild dismay
] Better end soon. Hands will break if this keeps up!

[Well okay that's being dramatic, but she pulls herself to her feet again to let her fist meet the face of another incoming Santa-bot. Another hiss of pain and she recoils with a scowl, shaking her hand] Stupid! Hate this place, always doing stupid, useless things!
tofus: (pic#7149991)

phase iii

[personal profile] tofus 2015-03-25 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Interesting?! That was way too close for comfort!

[True, Rise's seen her fare share of battles, but never on the front lines like that. She spent most of the ride and the battle feeling useless, ducking and hiding in the coaster car. She could have summoned Kanzeon if she wanted, but her Persona was only meant for support and she would just get in Judith's way.

Still, somehow, she's come out of the ride looking worse than Judith! There's no cuts on her cheeks, but her hair is a frizzy, tangled mess. One of the pigtails is half way down her head now.]


If I start getting greys because of that ride, the owner is going to get it.

[Sigh. This place sucks already.]
flaredo: (Pooossibly bad idea)

[personal profile] flaredo 2015-03-25 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
I saw Mercury... that's about it so far.

[ FOR NOW. ]
souredsweet: jackandtink (ollies out)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-25 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes, look at these shining beacons of sensibility... right here... dang.]

Well... That's certainly one way to view things, I suppose. [A WRONG WAY but Kaoru is Too Polite™ to say that, at least.]

You may find that others here disagree with you, but civility is important.
littlestbaskerville: YAN YAN YAN (✿ i will pull your tangles out.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-25 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, she is tiny, but you are a giant Hak.]

Lots of them...there is a lot of really weird thing here. Doors that open by themselves, the buses...even lighting in your house that turns on with a switch!
souredsweet: mewtube (open the blinds)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-25 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
[This is not the life that Kaoru signed up for. In fact, this is not the day Kaoru signed up for after waking up, either. What happened...]

Wait—! [ELCIA NO!! Someone here is an intrepid explorer on the Danger Express, good lord... But Kaoru will rush in after her as she starts to mosey off to her SURE DEMISE, looking concerned.]

If you think that it might go wrong, wouldn't it be better for you to come back out?
swordboning: (idiots 'r' u)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-25 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
If I knew what Life Day was but I'm smart enough to take an educated guess. Everything around here is practically designed to take your money. For what reason, I don't know, since the economy itself is fairly self-contained and it isn't like there's a shortage of anything.

But try not to get too close to the robots. You never know if it might try to kill you or not.
sugarcoats: (018)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-25 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
I tried talking to it some more, but it just ignored me! I'm not actually sure it knows how to do anything but sit there and give out presents, so it might not even be advanced enough, or maybe it's too stubborn, to learn anything new.

... Besides, those little snowmen robots got really defensive when I wouldn't move along fast enough after getting the present.
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8737378)

ahaha best to have light come on, they are high up.

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-25 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
B-But!

[She might be crying at the moment.]

Waaah!

[She's just hiding her face in you Yosuke.]
souredsweet: mewtube (onward still)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-25 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Peko will get a look of Great Sympathy at that. So everyone got the same gifts, probably... UNSURPRISING but still unpleasant!! Rude, Cerealia. So rude.]

I agree... [As for the rides, once again Kaoru's expression is probably enough to let her know that the answer is a big fat YEP.]

A couple of them. Even though I didn't suspect they would be simple rides, I felt it would be remiss to avoid them entirely based on that suspicion just in case one of them had something important.

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-25 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Your hair is drooping, too. [ She has to state that, although it's not unkindly. At least this girl had been smart enough to avoid getting herself hurt. ] Would you like some help with that?
eyesearingly: (... No.)

[personal profile] eyesearingly 2015-03-25 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
{Phase I}

[ Menardi doesn't get the point in sitting in the box, but the door was shut and the thing was moving.

... However the temperature is rising in that box the moment there's something breathing along her neck.
]

I'm done with this. [ Sitting on top of the boxes is officially a much more interesting idea. ]

{Bonus}

.... Is it a warm-lander thing to sit on random people's laps in exchange for items?

[ ... is this part of that exotic dancing that was a recommended job-

There is no way she's going to do it. So she's just.. judging everyone who comes up.
]

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-25 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
A lack of gratitude, maybe. Or it could just be that they're very busy.

[ She's not sure she gets why they're handing out presents in the first place. ]
bakudanma: from doujinshi: nantonaku (【 17 】)

[personal profile] bakudanma 2015-03-25 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ The other's voice gets his attention, and he looks over at him. ]

A funhouse is supposed to be fun, is it not? Santa-dono resides in the places that are the most jolly. Do you not know that?
I've also been very good. I haven't bombed anything in months.
tofus: (pic#7149928)

why

[personal profile] tofus 2015-03-25 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[That present? That reaction?

Rise doesn't blame him, holding onto a box herself. She swallows hard when she catches his face, trying hard not to turn as red as he was. These presents are an embarrassment to the concept of presents.]


You too, huh? Come on, we need to find garbage around here to get rid of these.

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-25 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no, far from it! But if I see an enemy, I just have to kill it. Simple as that.

[ JUDITH NO. ]
faithfulflame: (Rei Collecting Herself)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-25 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Probably a poltergeist honestly. [Rei takes a seat across the way from him, closing her eyes and leaning back.]

A strong one. But it's gone. The lights are back and we're moving again. Nothing to worry about anymore.
sunshied: (10)

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-25 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
What kind of food?

[Future food is a little too broad a category, bro. You need to actually tell him about the processed garbage you've been eating.]
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[personal profile] dereban 2015-03-25 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ "Newbie extraordinaire"... she's not sure if that's supposed to be a good thing. ]

I see. I'm Inaba Himeko; I don't have any important titles like you do besides being the vice president of the Student Cultural Society back home.

[ But as for her question: ] If you mean Powerpoint hell, yes. If you mean the theme park... no, this is definitely new.
bakudanma: from doujinshi: nantonaku (【 24 】)

[personal profile] bakudanma 2015-03-25 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ He stands, and doesn't seem disturbed at all, a hand lifting to rub his lips. ]

I feel like a new man now.
You shouldn't have to worry about anything else, Apollo-dono.
kicksilver: (so take off the top)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-25 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Don't you want to try and celebrate it here, though?

[ Totally going to put ideas in her head now. ]

I learned a lot about it from Viety earlier.
eggcream: (⑥ I feel light-headed and dizzy)

YOU BETTER BE

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-25 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Just gonna, pull it back...]

H-hey, calm down! I-it was just a joke... [No, it wasn't, but let's try to save face here.]
carptricks: (Around my arms)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-25 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[. . .]

[. . .]

[. . . WELL]

[quietly adds her to his list of terrifying women]


. . . blunt and to the point! I, uh. Think?

Does that really work on ghosts, though?

[since. you know. already dead]
faithfulflame: (Rei Cleaning the Shrine)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-25 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? Friends...and enemies then?

[Or are you making a pun?]
tofus: (pic#7149928)

[personal profile] tofus 2015-03-25 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Rise is never going on a roller coaster ever again. Never ever, ever.

She looks like a disaster once she's out of the ride, at least in terms of her hair do. It's frizzy, tangled and she swears one of the robots cut a little bit off at the end. But at least they both came out of it alive. Barely. The most she got was a small cut on her arm.]


Crazy's kind of an understatement, dontcha think? [There's a kind of nervous laughter and an exhausted sigh. Man, that was more stress than she needed right now.] This sort of thing shouldn't even be running! Someone should shut it down.

[When she finally notices that Baymax could be with him, she glances over at the big plushy robot.] What is this?
