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 ❅
YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT THE SANTASTICAL FOREST OF CHRISTMAS WONDERS ❅
PLEASE ENJOY ALL THE RIDES CEO JULIUS VINCERE HAS HAND-PICKED FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT ❅
WE WISH TO BRING YOU MERRY FEELINGS FOR THE HOLIDAY ❅
COME GIVE SNOWTRON 5000 A HUG ❅
WHAT? YOU DON'T WANT ONE ❅
BUT I WAS PROGRAMMED TO CONVEY HUGGING AS LOVE THROUGH AFFECTION ❅
PLEASE DON'T RUN ❅
COME BAAAAACK, VISITOR ❅"

//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.

A glitch....

[ . . . . ]

What system, exactly? The one that they talked about in the boring presentation?

[He's not an idiot, really. It's just that it's hard for him to keep up when they used all sorts of terminology that he just didn't understand.]
breakin: (Yes I am)

Phase II

[personal profile] breakin 2015-03-26 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ What a horrific experience to have to go through. To be stalked through a funhouse, already a horror movie setting in itself, by strange, unnerving creatures is bad enough, but to have the lights flip off and be dragged to the floor while writhing in agony seems even worse.

Good thing Haru isn't alone here during this trying time! Which is to say, instead of an engineer standing over Haru as the lights finally go back on, there's a tall kid with a bad dye job.

There's an engineer too, of course! He's off to the side, fiddling with a fusebox. But the guy standing over Haru, staring down at him like he's trying to figure out what he's doing on the floor? Definitely not an electrician.

Having fun down there?

[ No, seriously. What does that even mean!? He gives her an incredulous look, although it can't be seen. That look turns to panic soon because what? WHAT? ]

What do you mean you think we're sitting on something that may or may not be alive? [ Does he even need to ask? Because he definitely feels it, and the second it moves, he jumps up. ]

OUR SEAT IS ALIVE-!!

[ . . . . . . goodness gracious, she's charming. Jae-ha just laughs faintly then and shakes his head. Ah, truly she's too young for him but it's still easy for him to want to keep her safe.]

Well, you already know more about this place than I do, darling girl. [What's a Christmas and what's an amusement park? is that this place? Is it a Christmas? Still though, he just worries over something else for now-] Do you have any friends here that I can try to get you back to? I'd rather not leave you by yourself to all the "secret doom", as you put it.
defeets: (» no i'm bored of this already)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-26 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Admittedly Jae-ha's still on his guard with this place so the sudden jerk forward doesn't throw him off-balance as badly as it could. So instead he just clutches onto the ride and sighs.]

Oh no, I assure you that I agree entirely. This wasn't even an interesting fight.
defeets: (» where did this sake cup come from)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-26 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey, she's welcome to bite even if he doesn't drop her. He's all sorts of okay with that.

.... but aha, he doesn't quite say that.

So instead he just laughs and uses that grip on his hand to pull her closer to him so that it's easier to sweep her right off her feet and into his arms, holding her close to him. At least his hold on her is strong and steady - this definitely isn't his first time bringing someone else along on his soaring adventures.]


Hold on tight, beautiful.

[But then he's bending at the knee just a fraction before pushing off of the roller coaster cart, taking them both off into the sky over the amusement park in a tall arc. In truth Jae-ha's power is more like jumping - but he moves so gracefully through the air that it's so easily mistaken for flying that he's just taken to calling it the same thing.]

I would say that the majority doesn't, or at the very least believe that it isn't as straight-forward as their explanation makes it seem.

[ . . . . . hm. That just manages to make him smile gently. It's not enough for him to believe it yet - not against the evidence that was presented in front of his eyes that his world is gone - but he will make the attempt.]

In that case, then I'm sure it's not true, princess. You just need to get back home as soon as possible.

[The fact that Astrid's even at the carnival is a feat in itself. She resisted every part leading up to it. While she did listen to the powerpoint, she asked a million questions, practically refusing to accept what she was being told. Her home? Destroyed? No way. There was no way a bunch of creatures could come in and take over, not with their dragons. They would've fought back, wouldn't have gone down without a fight. And after what Hiccup and Toothless did, after they took down the Bewilderbeast? No way.

Then they tried to force her on the bus. Of course, she fought that too, and why wouldn't she? She didn't know what a bus was, to her it was a loud metal box that naturally looked like a trap.

But her interruptions weren't enough to make any difference. The robots made sure of that. Even with Stormfly squawking and trying to help, it was a waste of time. She finally recanted, very unwillingly, and that's how she ended up at the carnival.

Even though she was there, she made a point not to participate. The machines, the noises-- all of it was too much, especially given she had never seen anything like this before. Her mind was racing. Between being told her home was gone and being here in this strange world, full of lights and sounds and objects beyond her wildest dreams, she felt helpless, and that was the worst feeling.

To anyone milling about the carnival, they might spot the viking lurking about with her dragon, very clearly trying to figure out what the heck she had gotten herself into, all while making a point to stay away from everything ever.

Help her out?

Er. Or at least, attempt to avoid her axe?]

Ah, how cruel....!

[And yet he doesn't sound deterred by it at all... No, he sounds just as pleased as ever, as though he's just being rejected by Captain Gi-Gan again.

So he does much of the same searching, sighing faintly.]


Say Hak.... Do you believe what they said about our world being gone?

Wonder if that'll fix things.

((Ai remembers staring at the large, pillow like robot as he stood in line for the roller coater and staring with a bit of fascination. He knew Cerealia had some pretty crazy stuff in it, so it isn't like Baymax is weird, he's just... kind of cute? Although, in the crowds of people, Ai never identifies who the robot belongs to before being ushured toward his seat.

Post Flying, Sword flinging santa.... It's probably good that Hiro and Baymax stop by!! Because Ai, now with clothes so shreaded you'd think something went wrong while trying to look punk, is staring lifelessly into the crowds of people wondering what went wrong. It wasn't like this the first time he saw the newbies get introduce... It wasn't... It was just puppies. Scary wolves are puppies... and santa is....))


Heh? ((Cool air puffs out as he tries to respond to whoever is talking to him, cold eyes turning to stare for a moment. But in a moment, they're alive again, looking between the two with darting glances, dazzled.)) Ah!! It's you! ((He's talking at the robot a moment, then looks at Hiro.)) Ah... Is he yours?

S-Santas with swords!? [He shouldn't sound surprised, with the gun-wielding ones he saw when they entered the park, but he finds a way to be regardless.]

Is that how this happened? Are you hurt? [He does notice the tear in her shirt, so he takes off his suit jacket and holds it out to her.] Here...

Bus

[ With that friendly, open attitude that Hubert is exuding right now it's no wonder Mireu is sitting down right next to him, as close as he possibly can! Definitely drawn in by that bright, cheerful look on Hubert's face right now.

Actually, that's not totally inaccurate. It's the sourpuss look that draws Mireu over, so in a way it really is how cheerful Hubert seems that gets his attention.

[She's sweet. Jae-ha just shakes his head faintly at that before moving to stand, offering Ai a hand to bring her back to her feet as well.]

I'm still amazed... That's something that's common in your world? Normal people can't do anything like that where I come from.

Keeping you steady of course, darling Yona!

[Easily keeping his arm around her waist then.... and giving her a smile.

In truth, he's relieved to see her. More relieved than anything. He could feel Shin-Ah and Ki-ja's presences in this world but alas, the dragon's blood doesn't extend to his ability to tell where Yona is. So when he had heard that their world had been destroyed and she wasn't right in front of him....

He shakes his head, smiling turning a bit fond.]


I'm glad you're safe.

I do want the money for this if that were the case. [ She doubts it, though. ]

[Jae-ha just smiles slyly at that, amused.]

Oh darling, I'm sure you'll be more than enough.

[Though then he's glancing over at the dragon and humming thoughtfully. Flirting is all good and he'll probably resume shortly but-]

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the type of creature your beautiful friend here is and I'm dreadfully curious. Could you enlighten me a bit?

Apparently, when new people come, a glitch happens in the system. The park should be back to normal once a day or two passes.

((This is embarrassing. Ai isn't sure what he's expected to answer when he first looks at the pink haired girl, because realistically speaking, he doesn't know much about weapons in the first place.)) Weapon?

((His eyes draw a line down and stare at the weird almost candycane shaped thing for a moment not 100% sure himself because tbf.... this isn't really something he'd expect to see waved around in public.))

It's... Ah!!! ((His hands shoot up and shake in front of him, palm out to Sakura.)) No! No no, that's not a weapon at all, and it's actually very uncivil to wave that around in public.

[Yuan looked like he was in one of the worst moods of anyone there. He knew there was a risk of what remained of his world dying completely, but a sudden and poorly explained attack from beyond was definitely not a way he had ever anticipated. He doesn't seem overly invested in who spoke, but quickly has a response to what she said.]

Of course it isn't! I wouldn't be surprised if this is just an attempt to deride us.
