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.

I'm not about to give up and say my home is gone forever, so if they say there's a way to undo it, then I'll go along with whatever they say. I won't be picky about it.

[ He doesn't know yet that this is the father of the girl with the cards. ] Where do you think they're taking us?
sugarcoats: (058)

how does it feel to be so wrong

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-23 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[No, really, he doesn't want either of these boxes, so he's politely but firmly pressing back. No thank you, please.]

I'm-- I'm not a kid, and kids shouldn't be playing with these sorts of things anyway, and I really don't want them! If you don't want them either, why don't we just find somewhere to put them in the trash?
axilium: (can you do it. can you get good end)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-23 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
... Well, I was trying to spare you by not revealing what it actually is, but if you really want to know...

It's... a container of poisonous gas!
gareki: tsunkuuyandere (032)

i'm sorry jo

[personal profile] gareki 2015-03-23 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ So defensive. Even though he's trying to act otherwise, Gareki saw that Yogi seemed pretty bothered by the box earlier. Just for that reason, the younger boy wants to keep bugging him about the contents. ]

Is it really garbage? There were boxes just like those being handed out. I was just thinking about picking up one for myself before they ran out. Since you don't seem to be interested in yours... [ he holds his hand out. ] We can save each other the trouble.

[ Yogi doesn't have to dump it and Gareki doesn't have to walk aaaall the way to the Square to pick up a newly wrapped one. ]
bozu: (the look of a stomach ache)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[A little surprised at that, he rubs the spot where Hinata thumps him, sheepishly looking away for a moment.
"As a friend"... that means Hinata actually doesn't hate him, somehow. Does that mean he should go ahead and talk about it?

...It's still a little too much to think about, right now. At least, for Teruteru. But...]


... Well, if all that's true, then... can I ask you something a little strange?
scaryintuition: (pic#8950098)

[personal profile] scaryintuition 2015-03-23 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Slowly, Hide tries to pull himself up into a sitting position. He's sore but he doesn't think that anything is broken, thankfully. Now that the lights are back on he can see shards of glass and other people littering the ground. Finally, he turns his attention to the guy who spoke.]

Yeah, nothing broken I think. I'll probably live. [He tries to laugh it off to find exactly how shaken up he is.]
axilium: (maybe i should stop)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-23 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[UH]

... Strange, I seem to recall talking to you a second ago.
defeets: (»  gather round children)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
I really don't like your choice of words.

[If he's going to be really honest - and it's delivered quickly and just as lightly as anything else, but his face has a shred more seriousness than usual. Then, as if it was just a trick of the light, it's gone and he's delivery a swift kick to the face of one of the Santa robots. They're not people, so he's less concerned about being careful.]

I'd rather say temporarily inconvenienced.
rollin: <user name=sharper> (angry | AAAAAAAAAAAAAA)

[personal profile] rollin 2015-03-23 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ Before Weiss can finish her sentence, another snowman crashes into the one she was talking to, sending both into a nearby. Sparks of electricity dance around the debris until they fizz out, eyes losing their glow when they do. From the direction of the crash, a loud voice follows up the violence with: ]

And that's what I think of your snowcones! If fucking CERES thinks we're buying this shit...

[ You're welcome!? He hasn't noticed Weiss yet, but they're definitely seeing the manager after this... ]
shacklebreaker: (default)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-23 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
... [He gives one of his drawn out silences, as if wondering whether to dignify the question with a response.

Then:]


I've no intention of going on the ride. I merely stopped to speak with you, that is all.
psycholawgy: (we'll go dancing round the clock)

phase ii

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-23 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ This girl is in line, waiting for Simon to come back after sending him on a candy-slash-snowcone run. ]

Pearly?!

[ COLOUR HER ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED. ]
scaryintuition: (pic#8956498)

[personal profile] scaryintuition 2015-03-23 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[He huffs in frustration. Didn't she get it? He needs to eat now.]

Then get yourself another cotton candy too.
compossible: (Magic A Is Magic A)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[That's...sure a Belph, yep. He doesn't look so good either, which is something she processes vaguely and is a little concerned over. Despite being the one covered in blood, seems like she's the only healthy one here at the moment...how ironic.]

Don't act so surprised. It makes things even weirder than the singing animals.

[But there's really no bite there, nor much heart in the teasing. She's relieved to see him too--and this just confirms that... she left him in the lurch for a few days, didn't she?

...Wow, that's just awful.

And she was never going to make it home, either.]


...Sorry. I lost the watch.
swordboning: (pic#8713736)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-23 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Without electricity and a thermostat, it would be too hard to regulate the temperature, certainly. But there are better treats than that.

[....oops?]
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[personal profile] dereban 2015-03-23 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
I don't mind, but it's not a weapon. [ Running a hand through her hair as she heaves a deep sigh, creasing her brow in frustration. ]

It's an adult toy used for penetration.
particularity: (s ✣ we name every cape)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, of course.

[Right away, with no hesitation... He doesn't expect Teruteru to go speaking about everything all at once, but he'd wanted to tell him what he did. And he'll probably leave the whole story of everything else until a little later, unless it comes up somehow.

Just like with Pekoyama. He wants to tell them, but he doesn't want them to get it the same way he did, all at once with no time to process.]
axilium: (or maybe elcia should stop)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-23 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[...]

So out of curiosity, what exactly is Christmas supposed to be about?

[Because guess who comes from a world where Christmas has died out over the years...]
Edited 2015-03-23 01:48 (UTC)
defeets: (» that was a joke just a joke)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely not. Me neither.

[He'll let her have it..... Then he carefully encloses his hand around hers and starts walking through the maze again.]

Let's keep going then, shall we?
bozu: (admiring the view :9)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Anything known as a fast food joint isn't worth going to, if you ask me...
Of course, you'd probably feel the same if you tried any of my cooking!

[Yes, that's technically an offer.]

A good selection, though... at least I have that to look forward to!
Being able to cook something meaningful, with any ingredient I want - I haven't had the chance in quite a while!
littlestbaskerville: i'm totally and completely 100% innocent (✿ we'll fulfill our dreams &we'll be -)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-23 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[It took Lily a while to learn it too, for a while she would just stare at things. Technology is hard!]

Yes! It's amazing!
sunshied: (7)

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-23 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[He would have just continued laying there like a confused lump but he's pretty sure Sousei would drag him to his feet if he did for too long. For a moment he gapes up at him, still winded as ever, and rolls onto his side in an ungraceful heap as he tries to push to his feet and check himself over for serious injury. There seemed to only be bruises but he still felt dizzy.]

Sensei. What happened?

[If he could trust anyone to have good intel it was Sousei. He tries not to think too hard about seeing him with long hair again, instead running his hand through his own longer locks. He looked a bit older than what Sousei might remember of him back home and certainly he was more capable than he'd shown just then.]
compossible: (Butterfly of Doom)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
It's in the season to try to stab people to bits?

[She pauses at that, tapping her lip thoughtfully with a finger.]

You have a very interesting culture, miss.
candycoating: (012)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-23 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Those metal carriages that took us here-- the buses, are they going to come back and take us somewhere else? Or are we supposed to find the way to shelter on our own? [ He realizes he's asking someone else who may not have a single clue, though. ]

Sorry, if you're new here then you probably wouldn't know. Is there anything about this place that's simple?
aerialassault: (cocky -- i dare ya to say that again)

Phase I

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-23 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Cliff, for his part, wasn't sure he liked any of this. The Ferris Wheel had seemed tame enough in it's slow transit around the axis, but the sudden loss of power in this bizarre fun land was...unnerving.]

Yeah, we should be. [He muttered, shifting uncomfortably in his seat as he tried to get a good look out the window.]

This ain't a good way to give a good impression to folks. Can you see anything happening on your side?
axilium: (i am a little shit part 1)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-23 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. And you don't get shifts off or anything like that, do you? I'd rather just stay home and play video games. They're much easier to deal with than the real thing.
