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.

[She's panting as she gets to her feet, trying not to use her arms as much. It almost feels like they were pulled out of their sockets as she drops his hand and rubs at her shoulders.

Looking back when he speaks, Rise looks positively confused. And a little horrified.]


How... I know something was there!
tofus: (pic#7149983)

[personal profile] tofus 2015-03-25 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rise ends up rolling onto her side from the impact of the strikes, and it's just a split second before the lights turn back on...

And there seems to be nothing there now.]
gareki: <user name="reloading"> | Please do not take (068)

[personal profile] gareki 2015-03-25 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sure. [ This is not the face of somebody who believes. ] And those snowflakes I saw were all just coincidences, huh?

You totally look like you're dressed up as part of the park's theme!
psycholawgy: (absolute judgement)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-25 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Not really, but at least he tried!

The cars all eventually slow down, though, and despite attempts to step on the pedal, they won't move. It looks like the ride is over for now. ]


... Well, I guess that's it, huh?
tofus: (pic#7149991)

[personal profile] tofus 2015-03-25 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[And Rise will bounce on over. Good thing she's pretty short, so Judith won't have to work at regathering her hair too much.]

I don't think anyone would. I've never heard of a ride being like that.

[Though an unexpected trip, huh? That comment almost makes her look back at the older woman. She doesn't consider this to be a trip; it all sounds pretty final to her. There's an obvious change in her tone from earlier.]

You really think this is just some sort of a trip?
tofus: (pic#7149928)

[personal profile] tofus 2015-03-25 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is the only thing Rise's chosen so far, and even then she's not sure she's made a good choice.

She shivers, but not before shaking her head at the other girl and smiling slightly.]
Don't worry about it. I thought I was seeing things too. But let's get going. This is giving the creeps.

[Except the lights just went out.

Uh oh.]
tofus: (pic#7149993)

[personal profile] tofus 2015-03-25 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah? [He actually is really clean. Rise kneels down to give him a little affectionate rub on the head. He's not soft like a puppy or a cat, but he's skin is pretty soft.

Maybe there's something to be said for rolling around in the mud after all.]


He's really cute! I never knew that you could have pigs for pets.
bellpendant: (smile)

wildcard~ hello!

[personal profile] bellpendant 2015-03-25 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[She hasn't seen him in a while. Not since her own arrival here in fact, but she hasn't forgotten what he looks like. Of course, that's a difficult thing to do with how many tattoos he has and with that interesting hairstyle, but more importantly, Koujaku is one of the first few who welcomed her to this world. She's happy to see him again.]

Are you thinking of riding it?

[Rhyme looks up at the Ferris Wheel herself, before turning to Kojaku and smiling up at the man. She looks almost exactly the same as the day they met, except her hair is a little longer now, and she has a corgi by her side. The cybuddy barks up at the man as if greeting him as well.]

It's nice to see you again, Kojaku!
shacklebreaker: (neutral)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-25 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It appears so.

[And for all that he was trying to cheer her up, he might be breathing an inward sigh of relief. Athena's driving was... something. He unfastens his seatbelt, and climbs out of the car.]

...I think that is quite enough excitement to last me the day.

[Even though he's been on a grand total of... one ride.]
sunshied: (5)

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-25 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nearly jumps in surprise when she begins taking charge of the situation, also from the fact that his ribs do hurt a bit. He'll bounce back, as always, of course.]

Outside. Right. [Wow he felt so awkward right now. She was certainly no Nishiki.]

Hugging robots...?

[What the hell was this place?]
impheired: who drunkenly chipped his teeth on the sidewalk (unsure ♚ wise words from the guy)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-25 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Somehow, he's getting the feeling this may be the case. Especially at that "best friend" comment. No offense Mabel, but Peko's only been here a month (or so he was told), and she's not the type to form friendships that quickly, let alone best friendships.]

Yeah, so I've heard... [He's not surprised to hear she's been looking for him but it still makes him have a feeling. He's not sure if it's a good feeling or a bad feeling though...] I was told she's somewhere in this park, any chance you've seen her?

[Please point him in the right direction... Mabel, I hope you weren't expecting him to stay and chit-chat, because apparently he has like zero intention of doing that right now.]

[doop doop, overflow is this-a-way.]
Edited 2015-03-27 01:36 (UTC)
impheired: me look like im always in a bad mood, which is convenient because it’s usually true (sigh ♚  just...sigh)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-25 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Somehow, I was starting to get the feeling that was the case. [Like...he was kinda wary after his first run-in with those snowbots, but he wasn't positive until he got on that roller coaster. Nothing like nearly getting your only working eye gouged out to make you realize you might be some place dangerous.]

[He glances over at the bench Peko indicated. Sure is a bench, sure is isolated but not as isolated as he would truly like in this instance. Oh well.]


Hopefully we can get out of here soon and go somewhere with actual privacy. [But for now, he'll just shove his hands in his pockets and start moving towards the bench. Perhaps thanks to that back cracking earlier, he's not quite as slouchy as he normally is when he walks. Praise.]
tuberculosis: (pic#6887113)

[personal profile] tuberculosis 2015-03-25 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
This place is like that, and it'll only get stranger.

[which is a flat out truth. even after being here for a few months, there's stuff souji encounters every day that is just plain weird or beyond his understanding. even the things he thought he was once able to grasp from his time in another situation similar to theirs now seemed to pale in comparison to some of the things he's seen here.

but as the subject shifts back to that damn disease, souji finds himself sucking in a breath before letting out a slightly bitter laugh.]
When you come from a place where there's no cure for those types of illnesses, it's pretty difficult to miss, don't you think?

[for now, he evades admitting that he's fallen victim to it, that at one point, he couldn't stand on his own two feet or wield his sword to fight for the shinsengumi's cause. but it's not as if he doesn't know that once he says his name, there's the possibility of it all being revealed anyway. he's met enough people from japan's future to know his own fate, after all, and what little use there is in hiding it when they already know the facts.]
fatalstriker: (pic#7632261)

[personal profile] fatalstriker 2015-03-25 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Kinda makes the term "commoner" seem a bit moot, if you ask me.

[not that she asked him. maybe yuri just thinks it's a dumb term for it, even if he absolutely understands the class differences. he's got friends in high places and he was once a knight, so he gets it all too well.]

But I guess we won't be seeing the end of that kind of thing anytime soon. [because old habits are hard to break, and he knows it.]
impheired: "i swear it'll be funny" and then we were in jail. (unsure ♚ all i heard was)

oh my god, hiccup

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-25 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, judging by how, save for the eyepatch, he looks exactly the same as he did in the ID picture Peko had, he's probably the same guy. Actually, upon closer inspection, that eyepatch has an asian-styled dragon printed on it. Yup. There's no way this isn't That Guy.]

[And Kuzuryuu definitely noticed Hiccup. Kind of hard not to when you're followed by a big black scaly thing. There's no way that thing is real though, right? Surely not...it's gotta be a robot or something. Wait hold up why is he coming over here?]


...Is that supposed to be some kind of joke? [No seriously, what kind of opener is that, Hiccup? You tried but...no. No. Is that some kind of weird innuendo?]
fatalstriker: (pic#8055994)

[personal profile] fatalstriker 2015-03-25 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Just the three of us, last I checked. Unless someone else snuck in the way you did today.

[he hasn't run into flynn yet, so he doesn't know they've got another in their numbers. so judy and ba'ul are just definitely a sight for sore eyes right now.]
perfectstrike: (unsure)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-25 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Please keep that one eye safe, bocchan... she's going to start carrying bandages in her sword bag for him if need be.]

Yes... [As he starts walking, she falls into step behind him, nodding at his words. Privacy... yes. With as much suspicion as she holds toward CERES these days, it's hard not to think that the robots are listening in to conversations.]

Hinata... told me the truth about the island already, [she says quietly, though, in case that's something he was concerned about. That's definitely something he would want privacy for, right? So if he doesn't have to worry about that, they can talk about something else.

What, she isn't sure about. But that's something! She'll wait for him to sit first before shrugging off her shinai, reflexively twisting the hilt of the katana so it doesn't get in the way as she sits beside him.]
Edited 2015-03-25 18:27 (UTC)
impheired: at my worst, then leave because i don't have a best. i'm always awful. (talk ♚ if you can't handle me)

thank u, friend. zara doesn't know what kuzuryuu looks like though, right? it should be easy enough

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-25 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wow, don't be a weenie, things that go that fast are totally fun. It's one of the reasons why roller coasters are one of the few tolerable amusement park rides.]

[Or well...were one of the few tolerable amusement park rides. Kuzuryuu's definitely not going on a CERES-provided one ever again.]


What, you've never been on a roller coaster before? I mean it's not like it's impossible to die on one, but not like that. They're not supposed to have fucking swords and shit.

[His only response to the comment about bleeding is to just lick his finger again and wipe it off. Spit power... Amazing...]
psycholawgy: (are tomatoes fruit)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-25 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Once they're out of the ride and away from its premises, Athena speaks as if completely not listening to him at all— ]

Let's go around and check the stalls!
perfectstrike: (blush | protest)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-25 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I did not say it was appropriate for myself, either.

[Flushing slightly! And making no comment about her own age... that's weird.]
unpresidential: (pic#8080062)

[personal profile] unpresidential 2015-03-25 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah...

[okay, so apparently he assessed that incorrectly. but it's kind of hard to make that call when the fresh dripping blood contradicts her lack of any visible injury.

why is everyone so anime all the time. how did this happen. how did this become hsis life!]


This place can be like that sometimes. I guess. When it's not making problems.
unevoke: (Default)

[personal profile] unevoke 2015-03-25 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[She isn't screaming (so far at least). That's certainly one point in her favor, and bumps her up one on step on his ladder of tolerable people, enough that he doesn't move away just yet as is his usual habit.]

Sometimes they bring people you know. It won't hurt to see if any of your friends are here.
monkeyfu: (Default)

[personal profile] monkeyfu 2015-03-25 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Maybe ask the Santatron about getting one for Christmas? Though it probably would be something a little less useful in a fight and more useful doing other things.

He defects another incoming sword with one of his nunchucks and then leaps off his feet (supporting himself with only his tail now) and kicks upward into the machine. One more down!]


If it hurts, just leave it to me! I can take 'em. [Exaggeration or not, he takes injuries pretty seriously, particularly when working with someone else.

And he'll ask about the other stupid, useless things she's going on about later.]
masakados: dns (why do my words spilling out)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-25 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
...And since they've also apparently got resources to spare.

[He peers out at the amusement park. It really doesn't give off the impression that CERES is at all worried about Flamines. But he turns his mind from that for now.] They sure got all of this set up fast, though.
unionjackoff: (they tumble blindly as)

phase II

[personal profile] unionjackoff 2015-03-25 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[you know who did not want to go into a fun house? England did not want to. he was ushered in here by one of those blasted snowmen, and before he could leave, he found himself completely lost in darkness and mirrors.

and he doesn't feel safe at all. there is nowhere on this space colony where England feels he is safe from CERES and its mysteries. he moves briskly, focusing on just getting out of the house, without looking at any mirrors or paying too much attention to that distant howling. what is his life...]


Aaah!

[something knocks into him and shoves him into something else. what the hell? when the lights come back on, England is sprawled on the floor in a daze. he's too old for this crap!]

No, I'm not! I was just trying to get out of here!
