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.

axilium: (rexus pls i am very unsure)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-26 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
What? It's true.

[He'll just stand up to get away from the seat, though.]

... I'm guessing you don't have a light handy.
flaredo: (That's my lil sis)

[personal profile] flaredo 2015-03-26 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ Another Santa is shot down, and Yang shoots him a grin. ]

And Blake counts for something big, right?
axilium: (why yes elcia is my significant other)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-26 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure you want to know. I was doing you a favour by not telling you.
faithfulflame: (Rei Kimono)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-26 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
It's perfectly alright, Maribelle-san.

[Rei's thoughts flicker from introducing herself as the actual princess of Mars just to drop some level of elitism into the conversation, but then...she's also quite confident that her own regal bearing would convey that without the need to actually namedrop.]

My name is Rei Hino, and it's a pleasure.
axilium: (i am a little shit part 1)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-26 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately, I've lately been disrupted by people giving me actual jobs, so I don't have any ideas at the moment.

[the difficulties of an employed life...]
compossible: (Terminator Twosome)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-26 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[mmm yes good. She'll take some cheerily.]

I was attempting to escape a man who wanted to make me his 44th wife.

[She pops it into her mouth and chews.]

Unfortunately, he had a bunch of guards at his disposal as well.
axilium: (why yes elcia is my significant other)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-26 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Think of it as a character-building experience! I mean, you seem to be bursting with it now.
compossible: (Stable Time Loop)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-26 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[You're real good at what you do, Kaoru....

For what it's worth, Elcia doesn't seem to notice anything odd. She just smiles in response to that.]


But you don't even know me. Are you always this caring when it comes to strangers?

[... that's weird.]
axilium: (maybe i should stop)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-26 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Sitting up now...]

And you didn't think to ask?
allthreefourths: (pic#8838040)

[personal profile] allthreefourths 2015-03-26 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ ah-- toothless perks up at that, two-thirds curious, one-third slightly wary in a way you can only be when you're not quite sure what something is. a low croon in return, then an unsure hum, as toothless moves a little closer.

hiccup watches them both with a look bordering fondness and wonder, before he snaps back into attention. ba'ul isn't the only interesting one around here, but it seems like a rude implication to call a person interesting out of the blue. ]


His name's Toothless. [ … ] What kind of dragon is Ba'ul? I haven't-- ever seen one like him before. Her?

[ dragon nerd, excuse him. ]
axilium: (i am a little shit part 1)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-26 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
You never know. Considering all the oddities of this place, super speed isn't implausible, is it?
axilium: (i am a little shit part 3)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-26 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, do we have a skeptic here?
axilium: (maybe i should stop)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-26 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[That wasn't necessary at all, Yoon!!]

... Well, I was trying to catch my breath before I was suddenly bothered.
immobileyes: (Jeremiah was a bullfrog!)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2015-03-26 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mary can't lie, it goes against her blunt nature!!!

But she's clinging tightly to her gun-wielding comrade, trying to peer through the darkness at... whatever's hissing. ]


Are we being attacked??
axilium: (why yes i do know everything)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-26 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Uh.]

Should we really be encouraging the act of sitting on anyone's lap, especially in public?
faithfulflame: (Rei Memories)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-26 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
[And she tilts her head to another side, eyes locked onto his, like she's searching for a lie. He doesn't seem to be, which...is all the more impressive. It's apparent that she recognizes the name, just by the slight widening of her eyes]

I am. Onmyōdō is something that I've learned in my studies. I'm a miko from Hikawa Jinja.

[A pause and she dips her head in a formal greeting.]

My name is Rei Hino. And it's a pleasure to meet you, Abe-san.
axilium: (i am a little shit part 2)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-26 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
[HE CAN'T HELP IT IF HE'S FROM HUNDREDS OF YEARS INTO THE FUTURE.]

... Why, I hadn't managed to deduce that yet! Thank you kindly.
immobileyes: (Some day we'll find it)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2015-03-26 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
I really like jasmine tea... but I've never had elderberry before. Is it sweet?
axilium: (why yes elcia is my significant other)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-26 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, instilling fear of physical contact with other beings into people's hearts. That's quite a considerate move.
faithfulflame: (Priestess Secrets and Truths)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-26 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
It's alright.

[A faint blue light flows around them as she focuses her will into the o-fuda. The scroll stiffens audibly, growing hard as steel.]

I'm familiar with magic of this sort. Just tell me if you see something.
swordboning: (pic#8713735)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-26 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly.
axilium: (why yes i do know everything)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-26 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
[... what the heck is he being poked with—]

If I said no?
axilium: (i am a little shit part 2)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-26 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
You'll just have to work extra hard at your new job to compensate! Because I know you always take your work very seriously, of course.
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[personal profile] dereban 2015-03-26 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
For now, yeah. [ She forces a smile, even though she's not all that optimistic about the situation. ]

It's pretty dangerous though, so we should stick together and make sure nobody else gets hurt.
faithfulflame: (Rei Dumb...)

Sorry I'm slow today t.t

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-26 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe this wasn't an accident then. It is possible they're trying to torment us.

[She seems awfully cynical for someone barely out of high school.]
