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.

[How do you nickname Mercury? Time for some thinking.]

Merc? Definitely noy Merc-y, that just sounds like...murky. Cury? [No that sounds too much like curry.]

Merc is a simple and safe choice, I think...

[ She'd totally chase after him and all, but this guy's such a prick! Now she's just annoyed when he won't even tell her what's wrong. Well, whatever! If he wants to play this way, then Athena's going to be angry with him too.

Smell you later, pretty boy! ]

[ Normally, you just yell "shut up" at him, and not his name. There's that option, too. ]

Not bad. I guess it's Viety for you, and Merc for me.
hoasen: (waves)

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-25 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[She hasn't gotten that memo yet, alas. Someone tell her.]

It is fine with you? Then I agree with this arrangement. [Making it sound like a contract wtf.]

[ B-Because it would get Yang off Jaune's back..! ]

Ah... you're worried that she'll punch you, too, right? It's okay, I wouldn't really ask you to do that. Besides, Plan A is totally gonna work anyway!

[ He snorts at the mention of that failure of a presentation. If it's up to him, whoever in charged of it would be fired immediately. ]

If you actually believe that, I have no comment.

[ He can be rude and insult your intelligence but he frankly had enough for the day and he doesn't want to add anymore frustration onto his plate by arguing with the only sane person he kind of appreciates here. In a way, Tieria is actually glad that this guy has a positive outlook but it pains him that he can also be so careless about it. ]

I've seen plenty people who will chuck their cannon fodder first thing into the firing range to know that it's not beyond anyone if they have their goal set. Maybe it hasn't killed anyone but I heard people were attacked. That's enough reason for me to not trust anything CERES has to say until proven otherwise.

[ Perfect. ]

Now for the blood pact.
buildyourworld: (That's....)

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-25 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Right. ]

......

[ Reattempting Communicating - Take 2. ]

How did you do that?
masakados: (how do I put it?)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-25 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, it's not that, she punches me all the time anyway. [They're sparring buddies... is what he doesn't say.]

But good luck with your plan A... and I'll pass along what you want to pass along, if I'm talking to her first.
hoasen: (NO WORDS)

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-25 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Blood pact?!

[She's not sure if he's joking or not, which is why her hand is moving up and down. Shhh, she heals fast okay, it's not even an issue for her.]

Er... I was because I am young and I have worked hard! [He nods as he looks over the fallen robot.]

How did I do?!
bewrightback: (chin up)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-25 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
...

Well, I don't think there's much more I can do there. There isn't really a way to bribe robots, is there...?
bewrightback: (oh boy i done goofed)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-25 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[What a relief...

Phoenix gives a meek smile to try to match her tone, but it just feels awkward.]


Great. I'm glad we agree on that? And... at least the worst is over now. ...Right?
Edited 2015-03-25 13:11 (UTC)
bewrightback: (please explain that one more time or 5)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-25 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
ViViD. That's that thing, right...? With the trophy? It feels like a weird dream...
omurice: (pic#6267944)

[personal profile] omurice 2015-03-25 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, at the very least I won't regret not asking for a gift, even if I don't like it.

[He knows this game, he knows it all to well and it's weird. The one where you try to make the other person feel stupid but you're actually masking your real feelings. So he's... doing the same thing right back at her. And holding on to his gifts defensively. They are his gifts, he shall give them to no one!]
gareki: <user name="reloading"> | Please do not take (050)

[personal profile] gareki 2015-03-25 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
... I see.

[ So apparently, he was in other places. He'll only get a bigger headache if he keeps trying to figure these things out on his own. ]

Sorry.

[ This is the second time he apologized to someone for "forgetting" them. Although it's really out of his control. Some re-introductions are in order. ]

Since you know my name already, do you mind telling me yours?
fortheprincess: (i'm on my knees)

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-25 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She's so tiny he could probably carry her on his shoulders for hours....... ]

You're unfamiliar with these things too? [ And here he'd thought that she came from a world like this. Guess not? ]
bewrightback: (you can't handle the doughnut)

Bonus

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-25 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Someone else had already managed to accidentally beam him with one. So this time, he manages to just barely notice it coming and ducks quickly in a motion that looks like he's crumpling into himself.

Then he quietly straightens himself back up, trying to pretend that it was a much more graceful motion than it was, as he looks towards the person who threw it.]


Not another one... What is wrong with this place? [He shakes his head.] I understand your frustrations, Miss, but throwing it in a random direction is not the answer.
fortheprincess: (smoother than a fresh jar of skippy)

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-25 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ If Ki-Ja could read his thoughts, well. Rest in piece Hak.....

But Hak really hasn't changed at all when it comes to his teasing. Wouldn't Ki-Ja know that? Weird, especially considering how surprised he'd seemed to have run into him earlier. ]
And neither have you, obviously.

[ Ah, yes, he can feel the blood boiling in his veins already. Keep it coming, snake. ]

Anything that's a threat to the Princess should be taken seriously, you know.
fortheprincess: (Default)

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-25 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well...it used to be. Recent events kind of made things hard for him, but he still treasures the kingdom nevertheless. ]

If we're from different worlds, it would make sense. [ He shakes his head at the second part. ] Nope. None of this. Lights come from candles and people do everything by hand.

...How big is an 'apartment'? [ Again more lingo he doesn't know, and it's proving to be way too much trouble. ]
kicksilver: (3. make her open the box)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-25 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup. It's how you seal deals like this, you know?
carptricks: (like an old time movie)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-25 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[as soon as the lights are on, Kaito crouches near the old woman, once again checking her vitals to make sure she is okay. HE WILL BUY HER A WHOLE THING OF COTTON CANDY AFTER THIS. . .]

That was very weird. Please don't tell me it's normal for this place.
omurice: (pic#6267809)

[personal profile] omurice 2015-03-25 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's in fight or flight mode, where he's been conditioned to fight. Shooting in the dark is far too dangerous now as he transforms his weapon into his dualblade, feeling around him for anything that might attack, yet there's nothing. Just darkness and...

...suddenly everything is back to normal. He should have shattered those mirrors -- just what the hell's going on?! Once again, the mirrors through him off and since it was just pitch black, his eyes are having a hard time adjusting to the optical illusion. However, the moment he feels the girl bump into him, he immediately spins, turning one of his blades back into a gun and pointing it at her--!

Given the reflection he saw earlier, he realized he finally found the girl who he had been speaking to, giving a sigh of relief and putting his weapons away.]


My apologies, you had startled me. [Like, really startled him, but at least he didn't go off and attack her before assessing the situation.]

I also much apologize since I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with this kind of amusement park. Typically, a such a place wouldn't suddenly turn into a horror themed park without warning.

[For now he's being kind and courteous. Keeping that stoic tone and making sure he has no intentions of really wanting to get to know this girl.]
