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.

Am I? I just don't think there's a point in panicking.
punchesyu: (welp freaking out again)

CRAP I KEEP FORGETTING he's end of p4 so it's susano-o I'M SORRY ;;

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-26 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? [Oh no this dude is going to pick a fight with his persona um crap crap crap]

Wait! No, it's cool, he's with me! [UH ADMITTING TO THAT IS WEIRD but not as weird as being in the TV so????]

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-26 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
... It's true, you could stand to wear a little less.

[ Take a hint from Judith. ]

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-26 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Humble? I didn't think of it that way. I mean, I guess since there's more out in the universe, being a human doesn't sound as exciting. [ Not that he's indifferent towards the human race. He enjoys being one. ]

punchesyu: (Do you mean...?)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-26 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Uhhh... [Well, he does but he's not going to do that in the car in front of this guy.]

No, sorry... [He says nervously. He can still feel something moving.] I don't know how much more of this I can take-! [And he gets up too. But the hissing noise that's started coming from the inside of the car makes him freak out more, and he yelps in fright.]
punchesyu: (welp freaking out again)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-26 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
We just got thrown on a bus and ushered here after that freaky-ass power point presentation, I've almost been killed twice today, and you're telling me there's no point to panic?!

[Where is Yu when he needs him?]
perfectstrike: (side glance)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-26 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
I believe so.

[She shifts slightly on the bench, a few centimeters closer so her arm and shoulder are close enough to brush against his, just seeking that little bit of contact as a physical proof that he is here.

But obviously if Hinata left anything out, she wouldn't be able to tell, so she clarifies as best she can without going into too much detail,]
Enoshima's plan. He also said that we...

[And she trails off, because this bit, here, is the hardest part for her to try to rationalize. Even beyond the bit about everything being a virtual reality.] We... had been part of-- that group. Those responsible.

[SHSL Despair, something she doesn't want to put into words where just anyone can hear it. And she glances toward him, at that, gaze flicking over his face as if hoping that he'd contradict that, that maybe it's not true after all.]
punchesyu: (idk what to name this)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-26 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Sure... [He eyes the charcoal.]

What are you gunna do with that? [But he holds still.]
remainingtwin: (Bowing to the same people)

[personal profile] remainingtwin 2015-03-26 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[She almost pulls away at the glare, but figure 'what could a pig do?' and continues.]

Huh? [So engrossed in petting Saizo, she almost completely misses the question and gives Souji a confused look before she understands.]

Oh. Yeah, we didn't go to them very often, but we liked amusement parks. But they weren't like this, you know? They were just fun. Not scary or weird or...trying to kill us. [Mio makes a face] This place isn't right at all. I feel bad for anyone who's never gone to one before only to go here for the first time.
faithfulflame: (Rei Bored)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-26 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
A symbol of protection.

[She bends down and draws a mark on his forehead. Then, with a whisper of something unintelligible to untrained ears, she nods.]

That should keep your head safe.

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-26 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I wouldn't know... humans can do some amazing things.

[ She's seen it for herself. ]
rubyinferno: COMMISSIONED ICON. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE. (◊ she'll come down)

[personal profile] rubyinferno 2015-03-26 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Well that sudden and weird hissing noise underneath him might be one thing that could go wrong.

Pascal doesn't seem to notice it at first, face pressed intently to the glass window. She really wants to see the park from up here and hopes they'll move again and hey, is that a gas leak?]


Whoa, hey! Do you hear something weird?
punchesyu: (yeeeep)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-26 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[He moves his hand as if he's going to touch the mark she's put there, but thinks better of it since it's obviously a ward.]

So I'm guessing you're a priest or something. [He did see the warding paper and how she was going to try to seal the thing earlier.] Thanks, you know. For that. [The ward. And the whole trying to protect him thing. He feels like a wuss, but a thank you is definitely appropriate here.]
Edited 2015-03-26 02:01 (UTC)

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-26 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not willing to believe it's permanent. I'm afraid I still have unfinished business.

[ But she'll work on freeing Rise's hair and regathering it into a smoother shape as she speaks. ]

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-26 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
I don't believe I snuck. It was all rather dramatic.
rubyinferno: (◎ idk dude)

[personal profile] rubyinferno 2015-03-26 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow what a baby!!

She's unfazed by his protests and just shrugs.]
Aw don't worry yourself so much, little guy. They just like to do that sometimes. You should probably get use to the robots being friendly anyway.

[What, he means the fact that she caused it to hug him harder? Nah, that's totally not what he meant.]

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-26 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
About how many people believe this destroyed worlds thing, for starters.
faithfulflame: (Rei Gentle)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-26 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
I am. From Hikawa Shrine, in Akasaka.

[She sits back and pockets the charcoal, giving him a small smile.]

And it's fine. It's my job, isn't it?
carptricks: (Cause everything)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-26 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Let's see. . .

[he gives the area a thoughtful sweep with his gaze, before it settles on yet another food booth]

Candy apples? How d'you feel about caramel with a side of fruit?

[already wandering in that direction]
andimfine: (✓ 9)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-26 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ He smiles at this, nodding. ] I guess you're right about that. [ His friends come to mmd, naturally. ]
remainingtwin: (Show must go on and never stop)

[personal profile] remainingtwin 2015-03-26 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
I can understand an amusement park. The robots and code talk and our homes being... [Invaded? Exploded?? Whatever it was, Mio can't bring herself to actually believe it.]

I keep telling myself this is some weird dream and I'll wake up, but it's going on way too long for that. The stuff with aliens and all, it can't really be true, can it?
unluckless: (though i respect that lot)

[personal profile] unluckless 2015-03-26 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm?

[Komaeda offers a smile, a little too blithe perhaps, but that's his nature.] Actually, I don't have any particular motivation to try to kill you. I've come to realize I probably made a mistake back on the island. After all, finding out what happened, that Hinata-kun and all of you made a choice to move forward and be better.

[There there, Souda. He's probably pretty benign right now. Heck,he managed to even regret what he tried to do, after seeing how Hinata and Sonia at least managed to get him thinking.] That's still true, isn't it?
rubyinferno: (◎ oho!)

[personal profile] rubyinferno 2015-03-26 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Well color her curious. For one she never thought Hubert would do such a thing so he must have really wanted those gifts. For two she's never heard of the robots here giving out gifts and she bets they're totally awesome ones! Why wouldn't they be? They were given out by robots after all!

.... Even if the robots here tend to be a little... weird.....

Pascal leans close to examine the parcels, index finger against her chin and lips pursed. Her eyes are bright with curiosity.]
Oooo... Free stuff! Hey, maybe they gave you something to get settled here. The robots are kinda weird but they're usually pretty helpful too. [They usually aren't, Pascal...]

Well? What is it? Are you gonna open 'em? [She wants to know and she's forgotten anything else she should probably say in the face of this mystery.]
andimfine: (✓ 38)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-26 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ He honestly thought the noise was coming from her at first and was closing to making a comment about it until she spoke up. ]

I do, actually. [ Okay, is it actually getting louder? He shifts uncomfortably when he realizes that the seat suddenly feels…leathery? ] Agh! What is that!?
tuberculosis: (pic#6887297)

[personal profile] tuberculosis 2015-03-26 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't say there's nothing. But maybe that's where you and I differ. [souji shrugs a bit. even if it was just to go back and die eventually, souji would never give up on that notion. not of returning to kyoto, of seeing kondou again, of leading his unit and seeing things through on the battlefield as much as they could before it crashed and burned.

it does earn a bit of a curious gaze, though. there's so much about this conversation that edges in familiarity, that rings true for him—it's a very rare thing, and it leaves him somewhere between commiseration and discomfort. of course, he doesn't let any of that show in his expression despite the curiosity, which stems more from their direct course of conversation than anything else.]
I won't argue that it's like being imprisoned. They make it look pretty nice and give us a lot of things, but it doesn't matter much when the ones taking charge say "you're staying here, and that's out decision." Captivity is still captivity, after all.

[it's something souji is thoroughly unamused by, and has been for about a year now—first with haven, and now with cerealia. his loathing of large, modern corporations holding people from different worlds and times hostage is pretty real.] But who knows? You may find those people you're looking for if you can pull yourself together. Things are pretty busy here these days to the point that it's hard to keep track of. [meaning that he's not going to directly offer to help. he will help, but he's not verbally offering because that's just not his style.]
