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.

Or opening up passage for them, [ he comments, evidently remaining unconvinced by her methods. The glass she'd gotten into her leg is alarming. Slightly more alarming than her obvious state of undress. But he'll tackle these issues one at a time - he gestures towards her foot. ]

Besides, you'll injure yourself. Doesn't that hurt?
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

that's fine by me as well o/

[personal profile] dereban 2015-03-25 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
... Yeah, this place is honestly a death trap. I'm just lucky I'm mostly unscathed.

[ Mostly being the keyword here. Her outfit has some tears on it -- thank goodness she didn't wear anything too fancy. ]

I wonder if all of this is on purpose, though. Reminds me of some crazy horror theme park you'd only see in books.
poised: (✰ shove an arrow up yours)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-25 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah in complete honesty, she hadn't thought of that. But she's still determined to try to find some way out. Even if she were to create a hole somewhere, it'd still be dangerous, wouldn't it.....]

Well at least it'd be a step up from being trapped!!

[She says as she reaches into her quiver to try to use the tip of her arrow to stab in the general direction of the windows. it's getting downright suffocating.]
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[personal profile] dereban 2015-03-25 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
... I... guess you can say that. Not that I ever believed in Santa Claus myself when I was younger.
swordboning: (halp numi pls)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-25 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
The equivalent of one, yes. You'll understand what I mean when you try i tout.

[ When Yoon says something, in Yona's mind, it always seems to make more sense. Maybe it's just that he says it in a way that she's able to follow, but whatever it is, she gets an idea the moment he's finished. ]

Oh! Like something you could put over a dish and keep things fresh? Or maybe you could keep herbs in it?

[ ... ]

[Not the first time Natalia's butt heads with nobility around here. Her standards are a little high when it comes to "how do you treat your people".

But Natalia is just as caught off-guard, mirroring Maribelle's movements as she clutches onto the seat to regain her balance. Immediately, she reaches into the quiver that was next to her on the seat and notches an arrow, pointing it out the window as if waiting for something to attack.]


On your guard, madame!

[Can you hear the disdain in her voice. There's a chance that she's being dismissive. Just a little.]
afterdusk: (pic#)

[personal profile] afterdusk 2015-03-25 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
N-no, it doesn't hurt or anything...

[ Still, she's not sure she could actually break it's grip if she tried. Or if that would break it... ]
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[personal profile] dereban 2015-03-25 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
It-- [ She really has to stifle a laugh, but takes out her phone from her pocket, opening up the camera. ] You know, you should take a look for yourself. It could be worse, at least.
buildyourworld: (Huh?!)

[ The moment it's one arm falls, Yona takes the opportunity to wrench herself out of it's grip. ]

I... no. But... Do they really understand us?

[ She'd be more surprised if it was supposed to understand that she was telling it to stop. ]
poised: (✰ wow that's just precious)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-25 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
[She considers it and frowns vaguely, shaking her head sadly.]

They hadn't.... People tend to arrive here every few weeks - however no one arrived in the cycle before this one. It was rather confusing.... and they were deeply concerned over her, as well as you and the other two.

[Though she does try to find the bright side of it--]

They'll be quite happy when they see you again.
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[personal profile] dereban 2015-03-25 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, sorry.

[ She didn't mean to get that close. Inaba isn't a very touchy-feely type of person usually. ]

... The same as the rest, huh. [ Not her first time seeing this today, it seems. ] And I thought that everyone would be getting something unique.
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[personal profile] dereban 2015-03-25 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
It's usually dismissed as a glitch, but the last few times weren't this horrible.
buildyourworld: (i don't care)

2/2

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-25 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ Is that many kicks necessary? No.

It's a complete overkill.

But what's more surprising is the fact that whoever that strange guy is, Tieria is pretty sure he's just witnessed someone defying the law of physics in a normal gravity situation. He understands combat prowess, but even so, it shouldn't be possible to sustain that height long enough to deliver all those kicks. ]


What... just how...?
souredsweet: jackandtink (RUFFIANS)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-25 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Kaoru's not gonna help. That's the line drawn in the sand of Good Samaritan...ness.]

Oh—! [A MINI HEART ATTACK.] Are you all right? Do you need help getting down?

[SAID FROM A DISTANCE like clearly the plan here would be to get someone else to help Maya down. Kaoru isn't tall enough to reach her, anyway!!]
souredsweet: breadcrusts (bitches get stitches)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-25 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
How well? [A THOUGHTFUL HUM.]

...I've been here for quite a while myself, but I'm afraid I won't be able to help you if you're looking for answers to larger questions like "how do we get back home".
souredsweet: breadcrusts (bitches get stitches)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-25 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
I've heard of some following people home or around the districts... Oh, but- [BREAKING ONE. That seems to be something Kaoru's never actually come across before.]

I'm not certain that I know of anyone who has tried to break the robots in here before. There are more dangerous ones that people have been able to damage, though.
buildyourworld: (All these aliens...)

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-25 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ Clutching the Gundam and Haro close to him carefully, he makes a face when he remembers the Powerpoint presentation. ]

A likely story. I don't believe a word of it until I see solid evidence of their claim.

[ Not that he doesn't believe in aliens and different lifeforms, he already fought one of them prior to being pulled into Cerealia. But even by his standard, such claim are ludicrous without any kind of concrete proof and CERES is doing a poor job providing them. ]
buildyourworld: (I'll handle it)

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-25 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, if she says so, he's not going to insist on keeping her out of view. He steps away so he could observe Haro on it's task at the same time. ]

It won't take long with how prominent their presence is. You'll get used to them in no time. [ While Tieria is used to robotic beings, that's only because of his involvement in Celestial Being. The majority of humans back at home has very limited access to any robots so he understands where she's coming from.

By then, Haro is done unboxing the present to reveal the rather obscene presents to both of them. ]
Mission Complete!

... [ Well. So much for the precaution. ]
buildyourworld: (That's not what I meant)

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-25 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's a good thing Yue isn't injured beyond just surface injury. Drawing a breath of relieve, he extends a hand to help him up.

But first thing in order, he's apologizing to the stranger. ]


I'm sorry, I wasn't looking when I kicked that Snowtron away.
buildyourworld: (Judging you)

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-25 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ He raises a brow at his reaction, but once he heard Cliff's answer, he shakes his head in understanding. This is one of those who actually went on those rides. ]

What other warning is necessary when some unknown organization that kidnapped you and a bunch of other people across the universe is giving you free rides?

[ If you think he's judging you, then you're absolutely right. He is. You and every other person who went on those rides. ]
rollin: by me (fan art 04)

phase iii GOING AGAINST THE GRAIN

[personal profile] rollin 2015-03-25 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ Like hell Yata was going to let Jaune fight alone. Let him in on some of the action! Unfortunately, he's in the same predicament—the abrupt stop threw him out of the sled and into the fray. Fortunately, he's one less civilian Jaune needs to worry about.

After Jaune cuts one Santa down, Yata quickly rushes to his side. ]


Hey! Need a hand?

[personal profile] dereban 2015-03-25 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
It's not always going to be out to kill you, you know. [ She tries to make light of the situation by smiling, laughing awkwardly. It's kind of surreal to talk about things like this, especially when she used to be so serious all the time. ]

But I agree entirely.
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[personal profile] dereban 2015-03-25 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
If it were snacks, at least I would have tolerated it. [ Not to say that she doesn't tolerate what she was given, because, you know. It was free. ]

Though snacks only last for so long.
