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.

No. So far it's just me, and a few people like yourself.

[She sighs heavily.]

I'm not sure, though. There are so many people.

[ Pardon Apollo for lacking in the excitement department. He clearly looks uncomfortable, his sight straight in front of him despite the entire purpose of this to get a good look to see what's outside the park. ]

I'm fine! [ Sure, the enthusiasm is there, but does he bother to look out the side? No. ]

Is there, uh, anything that's particularly interesting? [ Asking for information instead of simply looking. He isn't too proud of himself right here. ]
punchesyu: (more angreh again and again)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-26 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[This is like, almost too much for him.]

Dude, I already have to deal with the fact that I'm not on Earth now- [As he gestures towards the ground, indicating that this wasn't his home planet-] let alone even think about how all those freaky crop circles and crap were really left by aliens.

[He doesn't care that he's got it good in the era he lives in. He'd like to return to that and act like this never happened at all right about now.]
sunshrouded: (☀ this cute fucker)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-26 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
No, trust me. I've been with him here for months now - and he's really boring.

[Though he says that much with a smile.

Well, life can't be too hard.]

I can do my best to help! [ Considering that he can't act as a lawyer right now, at least he can take on investigating. ]

If it's alright with you, I'd like to talk about what you and others have found so far. Maybe not here, but at some point in the near future.

[Folding her arms, Rei adopts a cynical posture, clearly annoyed at the entire situation. Her thoughts are mostly that she'd like some answers, more than anything, because today has really only left her with a pile of questions instead of anything concrete.]

So I'm beginning to learn. Between two spectral attacks, and that...disgusting machine...I'm not entirely sure I believe this isn't all some absurd dream.

[She eyes him up and down, studying him for a moment before settling on talking more. He doesn't seem like trouble at least.]

My name is Rei Hino, by the way. Who're you?
andimfine: (✓ 4)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-26 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Only what I was told in the presentation. [ Which, let's be honest, elicited even more confusion. ]
andimfine: (✓ 4)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-26 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Should we split up? We could cover more ground..
faithfulflame: (Priestess Lets get to it!)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-26 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
I've dealt with some terrible people before.

[The hissing draws her up straight, and her attention shifts from him to the kind of wary stance a trained fighter might have.]

That's not a technical issue, though.
punchesyu: (Spacecase that's not a hobby!)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-26 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[That makes him look even more nervous.]

Yeah, until it goes black again and we get stuck in this freaky thing! I don't want to get possessed by some ghost!
souredsweet: mewtube (onward still)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-26 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[he's had years in the industry.]

Ones who disregard warnings, certainly. [Like SOME PEOPLE who take "it's dangerous" as a challenge... But Kaoru just sighs after that, light and gentle, both shoulders rising in an elegant shrug.]

If it's an avoidable danger, I would rather no one get caught up in it.
andimfine: (✓ 16)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-26 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ GOOD! That's what he was aiming for! ]

I promise.
punchesyu: (why him a story in 100 parts)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-26 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
You're way too calm about this...

[He whines. Seriously this place is scary.]
faithfulflame: (Rei Smarmy)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-26 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Where she's from there are twelve. And one prince, but that's neither here nor there.

She smiles wanly, fingers reaching for the string.]


Probably not. But then, it could be a trick. Like the rides, if you bothered with those.
andimfine: (✓ 10)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-26 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh gosh, is he from Japan? Is he from California? Japanifornia? ]

Huh? [ More confusion. ]
andimfine: (✓ 41)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-26 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, yeah. Is something wrong?
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[personal profile] dereban 2015-03-26 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Dryly spoken as she grimaces: ]

It's probably because the age of legality is fifteen that they think that it's okay to give that sort of thing.
andimfine: (✓ 3)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-26 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.. [ He doesn't take this as an opportunity to step any closer though..just in case.. ]
punchesyu: (straight talkin' to yo ass)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-26 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Are you okay? Dude, you will not believe the crap I've gone through today already.

[He honestly doesn't know how he's still alive. And, he hasn't noticed the helper following them...]

Trust me, don't go on any of the rides.
andimfine: (✓ 10)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-26 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ What he wasn't expecting was a sudden push to completely throw him off balance. He hits the ground with a thud, a sharp hiss escaping from his teeth. ]

The fun never stops, does it? [ Such sarcasm. ]

Mr Nick! Don't ride the rollercoaster... the Santas have swords.

[ Said with 100% seriousness. ]
punchesyu: (HELL YEAH HE'S GOT A DATE)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-26 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Is this...is he getting the green light to hang out with her? Hell yes he'll take that.]

Well! There's always the Ferris wheel, I can see that from here. [He points at the giant ride, sticking out like a sore thumb.] But I mean, it depends. Do you like going on rides or do you like games? I'm sure they've got plenty of both.
faithfulflame: (Priestess Sunrise)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-26 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Rei would probably never admit to knowing what such a device was under ordinary circumstances, truthfully, and she's incredibly grateful for his quick action. She has no desire to discuss such things, talk about such things, or think about such things outside the privacy of her own bedroom. Alone.]

Its fine. Better a little embarrassment than you wandering around playing with it. It's supposed to be themed for the holiday, I believe. And it's absolutely not appropriate, at all.

[She looks back over her shoulder and scowls at the machine. If she could melt it with a glare she totally would. But alas...]

And yes, that's the one. Are you not familiar with Christmas, then?
Edited 2015-03-26 01:16 (UTC)
punchesyu: (yeeeep)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-26 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
What? Oh, that's uh... ['My other self.' That didn't sound right to tell her, and he's not up to explaining that part.]

He's...a really close friend. One that I don't think I'd know what to do without him. [Maybe that sounded okay, he's not sure.] His name's Susano-o, and he'll help us fight whatever's trying to attack us. So you don't have to take on all those freaky monsters yourself.

[Blunt is not necessarily a bad trait when used right. Being informative as opposed to rude falls well within the realm of rightness. Her reply makes Flynn's brow furrow, though.]

Do you mean that they're not capable of it?

[Or do they choose not to, THAT is the question.]
