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.

Welcome to CEREALIA's latest intro post For your convenience, we have compiled a post detailing what's going on right here and feel free to consult the FAQ if needed. Please leave any lingering questions in the OOC post, and we'll answer them as soon as we can. OVERFLOW IS HERE!!!


unionjackoff: (you know i feel okay)

[England sits back in his seat, crossing his arms. well, now he has a captive audience, so he can talk about how much he despises CERES]

There are a lot of reasons, actually. For one thing, they are tight-lipped and aloof when it comes to giving out information. They say they're trying to protect us, and that we have some sort of power to retrieve our worlds, but then they don't tell us how to go about doing that.
unionjackoff: (i'll make a point)

[personal profile] unionjackoff 2015-03-25 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[England rubs the back of his neck, sheepish. yeah, he was totally out of it]

I don't know... I see robots everywhere nowadays. They're all over the colony, and they usually mind their own business. So, I suppose I wasn't... really registering them.

[now he'll take the moment to look, really look, at a robot in the distance. sure enough, it is dressed up like a little snowman, and it is aggressively chasing after someone. wow]
unionjackoff: (everything seems to be right)

[personal profile] unionjackoff 2015-03-25 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh, she's taking about the arrival. England turns his head to look at the girl again]

They can code everything else! Ghosts, monsters, even us, if what they say has some truth to it. I don't know why they have to make a mess of things. I'm sure there are people that have enough good memories of Santa they could have copied.

[Mercury, eh? Well, at least it's a fellow Haven student, although Sun can't place what class he's in.

He seems to deflate a little at that confirmation though. It doesn't mean Nep's not here. But Yang would probably know if he was.]


Well, the four of you is better than nothing! [Kicking another Santa away. They've got almost all of them now!]
perfectstrike: (indifferent)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-25 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Correct.

[Peko nods once, giving the other woman a second look. As far as she knows, she's never seen the other before, but... that's not that strange. It's not like she really goes out of her way to meet new people, after all.]

I see. It is... nice to meet you, in that case. My name is Peko Pekoyama.

[In case Patchy spots Kuzuryuu and needs to alert her.]

[continued here!]

mermaiding: (whoever you may be)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2015-03-25 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. [She wrinkles her nose as they start making their way to the exit] Like to give hugs, so not take 'no' for an answer. Is very aggravating.

But suppose I would rather have those than the robots that try to kill people. Do not go on the big fast ride, if can help it. Very annoying.
perfectstrike: (hm?)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-25 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it just Yosuke...?

[From the name, she's assuming he's Japanese, and that doesn't sound like a last name to her... and she's certainly not familiar enough with him to want to call him by his first name.]

My name is Pekoyama Peko. I am the Super High School Level Swordswoman.

[So... according to her, there isn't much more to her than the sword. Also she says 'Super High School Level' as if it's completely normal and not at all a weird title to have to rattle off.]
perfectstrike: (contemplative)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-25 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah yes. She just nods, expression twisting into a faint distaste at his agreement.]

As did I. The Ferris wheel was... not as bad as it could have been, [she may have sliced up a few seats though... whoops...] but the funhouse was decidedly dangerous. Fortunately, I have not seen any dire medical situations.

[The 'yet' at the end of that might be unspoken, but it definitely is audible for her tone. Though come to think of it...]

I do not believe I have ever seen an ambulance, here.
poised: (✰ are you sure it's ok to be that dumb)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-25 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I will continue to worry about it, thank you very much.

[Since Natalia can't imagine any other situation that would've gotten this much blood on a dress, jeeze.]

But well... You may want to be careful before you insist that you're not in any danger.
impheired: i’m gonna roll my eyes too hard and go blind. (stare ♚ one of these days)

[Peko is absolutely terrible at this whole "help me look for my young master" thing, isn't she? She got it right with some people, but then others...well others like poor Zura and Mabel are missing half the details. Gg, Peko.]

[He seems momentarily out of sorts over how casually Tenka greets him. And surprisingly it has little to do with the fact that it IS a casual greeting and more to do with the fact that he's just not used to that happening. People aren't usually so casual with him when they first meet him thanks to his background.]


Could you possibly give a more half-assed description? [THAT IS SO GENERIC, WHAT IS HE SUPPOSED TO DO WITH IT?] Light brown or dark brown? If it's light, I think I saw a guy a few hours ago who might be the one you're looking for. Does he carry a sword?

[He'll address the whole questions thing in a second, he doesn't like switching between topics if it can be helped. ONE HING AT A TIME. That's the sane way to have a conversation...]
monkeyfu: (pic#8734428)

[personal profile] monkeyfu 2015-03-25 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[If Sun turns into a full monkey, he probably won't be pleased.

He grins, nodding as if their discussion was almost a competition or something.]
Very broken legs. I dunno, man. You could probably make it jumping from cart to cart, but that'll still be hard. Especially with all your clothes. [Stuff like that will weigh a person down. Although his cloak kind of reminds him of Ruby's cape.] I bet I could probably make it though.

Yeah, just got off the bus earlier. You?
Edited 2015-03-25 18:42 (UTC)
perfectstrike: (500% done)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-25 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I... see.

[Maybe someday Peko will stop being surprised by people who want to spend time with her. Maybe someday...]

Mind your step. The rides here are not what I would call safe.

[continued here!]

[ thank goodness! this means no bloodshed will be had because seriously, malia does not react right to unfriendliness.

but this is going to go REALLY WELL since all the magic malia's had experience with has been... real magic... ]


You want to advertise... Oh, wait. Magician, like magic? Wouldn't that just make you a wizard? [ no ] Witch. A witch. You're a witch.

[Tenka's mouth runs a little bit like a faucet - a direct flow from his brain. At least he has the sense to understand that the questions bit will probably come later and he just laughs at the 'half-assed description'. Sure, he probably could've provided an even more generic description of Sousei. At least it sounds like he's managed to come across someone who does recognize him-]

Ah, that's the guy! Good, good, if he's still hanging around this place at all, then he's probably fine.

[Was he just looking for a status check? Did Tenka just want to make sure that his partner didn't leave him stranded in a weird festival place? I mean yeah, probably.]

Did he mention if he was going somewhere or is he just going where the wind takes him?
impheired: to reproduce. the world doesn't need my sarcastic asshole demon spawn in child form. (sigh ♚ i should not be allowed)

I AM

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-25 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Good boy.]

I'm plenty calm. [Well...as calm as he ever gets, anyway. He's not yelling or anything. He's just deeply offended by all this winter funland bullshit.] For future reference though: jokes are supposed to be funny.

[Because Kuzuryuu is such an expert on humor, yes. The kid who only ever laughed around Hinata back on the island.]

[ sure it is, sure. malia just gives a shake of her head at elcia's statement, lifting a hand to point to the side of her head. ]

No, they can't. They don't have ears.

[ and then she puts more funnel cake in her mouth, nose scrunching at the follow up. mouth full, she replies -- ]

Why were you stabbed?

[ because that's obviously THE MOST IMPORTANT question here. ]
scenting: (pic#8681805)

[personal profile] scenting 2015-03-25 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I... guess.

[ she considers it a little, sort of used to just not knowing what's unusual and usual at this point. whatever, man!! everything's weird, don't ask her about it.

but she does look up at the rest of the cart they're in, still considering. ]


It's not really that weird, is it? I mean it's just a... a... [ she's got this, she's got this, she's got this-- she does not have this, no. ] I don't know what it is, but it's just supposed to be for fun, right? Kind of like, uh, flying, I guess. Maybe it makes people think they can fly.

so have one malia approaching waddles and crouching down to poke it. she's totally ignoring the weird tall not-two-twins-in-a-coat-thing on top of that. ]


You're real, aren't you? Not made of code or anything? If I still had my claws, oh...

[ she's passing by when everyone gets off the ride and sort of get tangled up in the exiting crowd. this is not The Best to her because she was seriously trying to walk past and get some more carnival treats!

WHY. why would you do this.

she gets stuck in front of apollo too, trying to walk around him but there's a person either side and... argh, she's getting mad. when apollo mutters to himself, she catches it and with a very put upon sigh -- ]


No one cares. Move.

Hmm.....

[Natalia just shakes her head at that, expression becoming one of fierce determination. Nope, there are possibly people in danger and she won't stand for it.]

No matter. It's clear that this poses a danger to people and it's not acceptable for it to remain open. [And she immediately turns to try to find the entrance of it, calling over her shoulder-] Are you coming, Yogi?

[headstrong princess may need to calm down]

[Totsuka immediately replies, waving a hand as if to wave off the incident altogether.]

It's fine! [granted, he'd probably say the exact same thing if Haru mowed him down with a santa bot but hey] These sorts of places are really crowded, so you don't have to apologize.

[He takes another look at Haru, studying him --] Did you just get here?

['here' could mean the amusement park itself, or 'here' could mean cerealia, but Totsuka doesn't specify]

[He slowly but urgently gets up from his seat and heads for his corner.

The car rocks a little as they move around, but it's nothing that they can't handle.]


I'm Nagachika Hideyoshi. But you can call me Hide.

It's nice to meet you...despite the circumstances.

[The circumstances suck. And he'd really like to be off this ride now.]
