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 ❅

PLEASE DON'T RUN ❅
COME BAAAAACK, VISITOR ❅"

//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.

Then we're in agreement. I'd like to learn more before I agree to anything.

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-25 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
But you can't walk as quickly.
kicksilver: (011)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-25 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah, everybody does this.

[ Crosses his arms and waggles his eyebrows I'M SORRY HE'S SO SKETCH ]

The leaders of our nations cut off their ears when they do their speech and stuff. Lots of blood loss there, but it grows back.
shacklebreaker: (taka is going to cut you)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-25 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
How truly reprehensible... Did anyone follow their suggestion?
sugarcoats: (055)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-25 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yogi watches with rapt attention, seeing his emoji tutorial paying off as a shape slowly takes form on screen.]

It's... a person with crossed arm-- no!

[Give him a moment; his sweet tooth senses are tingling...]

It's a lollipop! Is that it?
psycholawgy: (apollo also droolz)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-25 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
You shouldn't be bribing anyone!

[ LEARN FROM MEANS. OR SOMETHING... GOSH... ]
thatdamnknight: (what's in a name?)

[personal profile] thatdamnknight 2015-03-25 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ah! wait! she said the magic a word! cue flynn looking surprised because what? someone here knows about artes?? talks of robots and arguing with them can take a backseat for now.]

You know of artes?

[and not fix all the damage?? what is she-- ah, the odd lack of hairs in his periphery says enough. flynn reaches up with a hand to determine the extent of damage to his hair.

he frowns. hard. prince charming is not pleased. if that robot made his hair look as poorly cared for as yuri's then it WILL end up a broken robot.]
flaredo: (And you are...?)

[personal profile] flaredo 2015-03-25 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... and even if you didn't, those guys would attack anyone who went out.

[ She'd fought them, of course, but... ]
bewrightback: (sweating bullets)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-25 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I... I know that! This just isn't a very serious situation, and definitely not a court of law...!

[He didn't say what he means.]
psycholawgy: (we'll go dancing round the clock)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-25 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It's actually my first time in this carnival.

But— [ He said "this place"??? ] Are you new?!

[ The idea of it seems so unreal, she looks pretty pale now just from the shock. ]
sugarcoats: (065)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-25 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[And there's the second person that was hiding. Twins, they must be, how nice! Yogi waves in greeting even as he shrugs, puzzled.]

I mean, we don't have Christmas? Or maybe we have something like it but with a different name? Why, is it really that bad to not know what it is? I feel like I'm missing out on something big, here!
kicksilver: (to give you)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-25 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Looks like we'll never find out at this rate.

[ Harrumphs and crosses his arms. ]

But if I don't see you again, I guess I know what happened.
topscores: (pic#8090240)

[personal profile] topscores 2015-03-25 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
You'll get to go somewhere else eventually. We always get back to the city.

[He's so nonchalant about all this...newbies, man.]

Just hang around and grab some food or something.
shacklebreaker: (neutral)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-25 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed. And if they want us to stay under their thumb, battering us over the head with a confusing -- or even threatening -- diversion would be an effective means to do so.

Unearthing the truth of this place will be no simple task, it would seem.
psycholawgy: (something stinks!)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-25 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ god now she just feels like she's being scolded. She starts to try and get away from the other cars to just circle around and bump into the others normally. That might actually be a better plan, or else, the management might kick them out before they can actually do some real damage. ]

It wasn't on purpose!
psycholawgy: (PUT A SOCK IN IT)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-25 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey! You better take Widget seriously!

[ THAT'S NO WAY TO TALK TO YOUR BOSS, ATHENA... ]
hoasen: (hmm?)

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-25 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[HE'S SO SKETCH BUT THIS IS GROSS. Van Gogh did this.

But what she's finding surprising is--]


Really? You have leaders who also grow body parts again? This type of healing is quite rare here. [Wait a minute.]
shacklebreaker: (eyes closed)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-25 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
And that supervision is the safeguards you were referring to?
offstrings: (pic#8843563)

[personal profile] offstrings 2015-03-25 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Not that. A lot of the time, food offered at places like this that CERES sets up can be... suspicious. I usually stay away from them.
sugarcoats: (037)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-25 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, well, if I'm able to find out anything, you know, while we're here, I'll definitely tell you! I don't know how difficult it will be to find things out, but I don't think sharing information with others will be a bad thing.
topscores: (pic#8259842)

[personal profile] topscores 2015-03-25 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nice is going to idly scratch at his bandages.]

You're going to need to get a job or play that ViVid game or whatever for money. And you gotta find your own place to live, but that's not too hard.

[If Nice can do it, so can Riku.]
kicksilver: (004)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-25 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ OH NO THIS POOR CHILD... STOP BELIEVING EVERYTHING HE SAYS. ]

I was actually kidding. Sorry about that.

[ No, he's not sorry at all... ]

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-25 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what allies are for. [ Once you actually acknowledge them as such, but she'll extend a hand instead. ]

Judith.
offstrings: (pic#8843566)

[personal profile] offstrings 2015-03-25 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
A little. I came from a place where weird things happened all the time, too, but the ones that happen here are different... they're a lot creepier and scarier, like what happened in that house.
shacklebreaker: (:I)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-25 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Your expression would have suggested otherwise...

[At least the pile-up in the corner seems to have finally cleared out. Some drivers now seem to be actively avoiding Athena after that stunt.]
