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!!!


faithfulflame: (Rei Kind look)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-26 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. That...sounds like a friend of mine. Are you familiar with Minako Aino? She's an idol back home.

[She smiles and nods at the request.]

And I'd be happy to share. Once I manage to find a cassette shop or record store or something.
punchesyu: (SEE WORD IN ICON)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-26 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Hearing that, shocks him. It shocks him in the thought that the Shadows can come outside the TV world. On a normal basis.

...Every night.]


Y-Yeah, I think that's definitely something we should probably meet up for. So that makes you and this Mitsuru person Persona users too? [JUST TO CLARIFY.]
faithfulflame: (Rei Scowl)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-26 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Rei frowns at the statement and reaches into her bag, pulling out a bit of charcoal.]

Hold still then.
faithfulflame: (Rei Pissed)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-26 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Fifteen. Right.

[Okay, so that's about the time she became aware of things...happening...between Usagi and Mamoru, but it's still a bit of a shock. To a teenager, three years feels like quite a long time.]

Well, I don't want anything of the sort. Thank you for the warning, miss.
spyrites: (» are you sure?)

[personal profile] spyrites 2015-03-26 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Bless her heart she thinks that someone will care...]

You can try but they usually aren't very good listeners. [In fact this may actually be part of the ride, now that he thinks about it. It seems along the lines of what they'd pull.

Okay but he swears he's hearing that sound.]
Actually... do you hear that?
impheired: today for ¥90500 and i was like wtf i could get a real skeleton for free, fuck that. then i remembered murder is illegal (stare ♚ i saw a fake skeleton for sale)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-26 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[HE'S FINE HE DOESN'T NEED THEM. GOD.]

Did he? [He honestly wasn't even thinking about that part but it's a relief all the same knowing that he doesn't have to explain all that. Especially given that he literally just went through it all himself mere hours ago. He's not sure he'd want to sit through the explanation a second time so soon, much less be the one giving it.]

[Bless you, Hajime Hinata. Provided you actually told her everything and not just the sparknotes version.]


All of it?

[He sits down, leaning forward a little with his elbows resting near his knees so that he can sort of look over at her while they're talking about...whatever it is they're going to talk about. Curse this damnable carnival.]
bewrightback: (might be onto something)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-26 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, her general presence was the first surprise to get used to. Now he's starting to notice how oddly young she seems to look.

It has been a while since we last met. But I'm sure that she looked older than this.]


Thanks, I guess. [He says with a beleaguered groan that somehow manages to trickle with sentiment.]

I knew that I should have accounted for your tenacity. I don't think there's an apocalypse out there that could stand up against you. ...I'm glad that there isn't.
punchesyu: (Why him)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-26 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[He gives her this 'are you serious???' look, albeit staying silent for just a moment.]

Yeah, because the creepy singing reindeer are totally the best part about this place. [This is such. A pain.] Right next to the blood trail you're leaving across the ground.

[Can he go home now]
bewrightback: (too smug)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-26 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[That's usually how it goes with Phoenix: you spend long enough around an eccentric prosecutor, you start to become fluent in their language.]

As prepared as I ever am. [...In other words, not much at all.] I bet this place is just the training grounds for what we have in store.
remainingtwin: (And if I fall I've learned)

[personal profile] remainingtwin 2015-03-26 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
[She looks between the two in surprise and relaxes some more, curiosity overruling her initial unease.]

...Okay. [Mio nods her consent and takes a deep breath, exhaling slowly to calm herself.] Sorry, I've never seen something like him before. What did you say he was...?
punchesyu: (idk what to name this)

WHEN A VIDEO GAME/ANIME USES WESTERN ORDER and i'm all how do i do this

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-26 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, well, Hanamura. Yosuke Hanamura. [She sounded Japanese too, thankfully. He doesn't know who's who at all around here. He met an alien for the love of god.]

Pekoyama-san, can you...repeat that? Super Level what?

[Who introduces themselves that way? And should he ask how old she is?]
spyrites: (» be ready)

[personal profile] spyrites 2015-03-26 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[That's a pretty freaky sound and Jude has heard some freaky sounds in his lifetime battling monsters. But this one might take the cake.]

... Actually it very well might be. [This place would totally do something like that... and also he recalls the ferris wheel.]

It might still be dangerous. [But it could also be harmless; this place tends to swing both ways there. But since they saw that thing in the mirrors... he has a bad feeling.] We just... need to find a way out as quickly as possible.
thatdamnknight: (what's done is done)

[personal profile] thatdamnknight 2015-03-26 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[well now THAT wasn't a howl. it WAS rude, though. so rude. even so, there's a sense of relief that washes over flynn upon hearing after a brief moment of surprise. of course he'd be here, too. when isn't he around when bad luck strikes?

some of the tension from his shoulders vanishes as he turns toward yuri and the serious face becomes more relaxed. his guard remains high, because weird shadow things warrant it.]


You can never say anything useful, can you?

[good to see you here, unhelpful best friend. really. as soon as the friendly commentary gets said, flynn becomes serious again. chummy banter can wait until after making sure those things inside the mirrors will actually stay there. the very idea sounds crazy but they really look capable of it...]

Do you have any idea what's going on?
immobileyes: (Let's look at the door)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2015-03-26 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
The tear factor?

[ Explain manipulation to her, please. ]
hamham: tried to fight off the paramedics. (I think I fucked up my elbow when I)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-26 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Ghhk-- [That looks says it all. He was totally sulking at the back of the bus. The very back corner, looking as small and dangerous as possible so nobody would want to sit by him. Like the antisocial nerd that he is.

Time to try and save face.]


Fuahaha...I realize it may be difficult for a mere mortal to comprehend such a technique, but to think that you could be so easily fooled by my afterimage...

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-26 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
That's just an interesting way to put it... aren't you being oddly humble?

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-26 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ W-whoa, calm down there-- ]

Likewise, Yogi.

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-26 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
I thought as much, too. Should I go praise it for a good job?
remainingtwin: (Desperate and so lonely)

[personal profile] remainingtwin 2015-03-26 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Her mouth opens and closes a few times before her face turns red when she realizes he's right.]

I didn't step on your face! [But she goes quiet, looking ashamed, and ore than a little annoyed since it's difficult to apologize when you're still riding your anger high.] I--... I'm sorry. You are alright, aren't you?
punchesyu: (Bear...)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-26 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Man, you're harsh. [Got him right where it counts, too.]



Ylisse. I think I got it that time. What country is that in anyway? [He's an awful student. It's very possible that was a country he's just never heard of before that existed long ago. Or existed somewhere at all.]

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-26 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
You need numbers and skills--

[ And then everything kind of lurches to a halt, prompting Judith to glance out the... suddenly dark window? ]

Hm?
impheired: mouse traps and brownies on my porch? (unsure ♚ just wondering. did you put)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-26 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[THERE'S NOTHING UNSANITARY ABOUT YOUR OWN SPIT. IT'S ALL YOUR OWN FLUIDS, WHO CARES. JEEZ.]

I said I'm fine, didn't I? [There's a note of finality in his voice that suggests Oz drop it if he knows what's good for him. Though wait, hold on what was all that he said before the part about cleaning up?]

...tell me by "these things" you don't specifically mean "amusement parks."

[OH GOD IS HE IN ACTUAL AMUSEMENT PARK HELL? SAY IT AIN'T SO.]

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-26 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Him. His proper name is an Entelexeia, but that's a mouthful.

[ And she's also watching both dragons. Ba'ul seems to be considering circling Toothless, but he'll stay put and let the other dragon come to him. He's fairly fascinated, too.
thatdamnknight: (what's done cannot be undone)

[personal profile] thatdamnknight 2015-03-26 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
[How flattering, Judy, but Flynn shakes his head. He really hadn't done enough.]

I tried, but between the suddenness of the attack and my limited mobility, I couldn't do much.

[Wonky ceremonial armor is weird to move around in. Toss in cramped space and surprise attack? Yeah, he failed in his knightly duties this round.]
freed: ~knightships (( knew ))

[personal profile] freed 2015-03-26 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[for a few moments longer than perhaps normal, haru considers the question, those parameters of 'here', before nodding once, his eyes the only real giveaway to his confusion. whether it's 'here' in the amusement park sense or 'here' in the world sense, he supposes it's largely the same. one means the other, after all. ]

What about you?

[ it's fairly plain from the stranger's words that he's been here longer, but haru asks anyway, something slightly distant in his tone -- like he's not all there, like he's waiting to discover the dialogue is meaningless because this is, as it must be, a dream.

a really weird dream.

but a dream nonetheless.

right? ]
