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 ❅

PLEASE DON'T RUN ❅

//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!!!

[What-- what is this girl even saying. Peko's not sure she's following half of it, but she definitely heard her name, which is weird enough. She isn't about to stop to ask, though, instead keeping her tight grip on Maya's arm and yanking her into the closest closed-off area -- which is to say, a public restroom. Does it still feel like an action movie...

Peko keeps a careful watch at the door to make sure they're not being followed, but chances a glance back to ask,]
How do you know my name?
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[ WE JUST DON'T KNOW

She easily switches back to the Cerealian native language, swinging her arms playfully with a rather cheeky grin. ]


It's no~thing. [ What an obvious lie. ]
perfectstrike: (you... |本当に信じてるの?)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-26 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Good. You need to be careful, here.

[And now she's just kind of... staring at him. As if waiting to see if he's going to carry the conversation, or just leave. If he didn't want anything to do with her, she'd completely understand.]

[ Lloyd has experience with amusement parks. it was only one day's worth, but it was all-expenses paid thanks to being the lucky bastard of the year, which was more than enough time to try every ride at least once. that was more experience than most people -- Kratos most likely included -- so Lloyd already had a general idea on how to make this father/son outing as enjoyable as he could possibly manage. it was well-deserved, after all, thanks to their last meeting.

what he didn't expect was for the park to be so big. it was simply gigantic and Lloyd saw far more rides than what the Altamira theme park had. it was so overwhelming that he didn't know where to start, especially since Kratos likely had never been to an amusement park.

but start he did, and his first choice? the fun house! it was big and happy and had the word "fun" on it! it was something Regal's amusement park didn't have! he HAD to try it out! he all but runs in there, calling out to Kratos to follow him in before shooting into the fun house. it's when he reaches the mirrors that he slows down, his nose wrinkling as he looks between the reindeer. ]


Is it just me or is that singing starting to get annoying?

Pekoyama.

[Peko just gives the other girl a firm nod by way of introduction/greeting, then starts walking at a brisk pace, keeping most of her attention directed toward the right, hoping the other armed person is knowledgeable to look to the left in turn.]

Have you just arrived?
hatsoff: (certified cutie)

i'm not crying nope not at all

[Hiro's words hit him like a punch to the stomach. This isn't just ordinary surprise, he understands that now. Something happened, something bad. And he's almost positive he knows what.]

This.. isn't about the aliens, is it? [His voice is soft, unsure, because he wants to know what's freaking Hiro out so bad, and yet he doesn't. If it was what he feared--

No. He's not going to think that. He's going to give Hiro time to calm down, to explain what had him so on edge. He hopes and prays it's not what he thinks, that's the last thing anyone would want, but he has such a terrible feeling about this now. So rather than focus on how on edge this is making him, he puts his full attention on his brother.

He reaches out again, this time actually placing his hand on Hiro's shoulder. He bends ever so slightly so he's more on his brother's level, that concern still evident on his face; maybe even more so now, given Hiro's intense reaction to seeing him.]


I'm here, Hiro. I don't understand what's happening either, but I'm here now, okay?

That's right. It's the program used to make them, and what they are.

[ She doesn't mind the butting in, apparently, turning to look at Yuan. ]
psycholawgy: (apollo also droolz)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-26 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
No. Not yet, anyway.

[ A beat. ] She disappeared all of a sudden.

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-26 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[OH GOOD. SHE MANAGED NOT TO SCARE AWAY THE SLEEPING ONE. WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT.]

I am fine. I have been here for more than a month, now. [So she's pretty sure she has a good handle on the weird shit that tends to go down around these parts.]

There are... no animals, here.

[This is Important. Surely Gundam would understand her frustration??]
pixelacious: (HANDS ► chill out bro.)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-26 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ A dragon...actually isn't that weird. AndrAIa has seen weirder, but she's also from a digital land where normal is pretty odd by other people's standards. She at least can recognize someone who's also new to the area, even if Astrid is far less comfortable with it than AndrAIa is.

Spend some time hopping games - worlds - from childhood on, and maybe she'd be more at ease with new craziness, too. ]


Nice dragon. What's it's name?
perfectstrike: (still)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-26 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
[She just gives him a bit of an impatient stare. Does he really want to stare into those intense red eyes... does he really... before turning her attention back to the window.]

No. I need to look for-- them.

[She almost slips and says him. She hasn't been trying to hide her relationship with Kuzuryuu for more than a month now, after all, and it's hard to slip back into that mindset.]

You can look wherever you wish.
bewrightback: (look! i can laugh! be happy person!)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-26 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Ah ha ha ha! I'm glad you still have that energetic optimism, Athena! It's really helpful in a place like this.
pixelacious: (CALM ► sure do the thing bro.)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-26 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ At least he's found one of the people in Cerealia who won't bat an eye at the tail. But since she has fishscales up and down her spine and the backs of her arms, AndrAIa really can't talk...so there's that.

She laughs, lightly. ]


The kind that's trying to dress up, I guess. I obviously agree about it looking basic, though. AndrAIa. [ The smile that goes with the name indicates it belongs to her and not the robot. ]
bewrightback: (thoughtful | thoughts might not be serio)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-26 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
I agree with you on that one. [He shakes his head.]

I'm not about to go stepping into that virtual reality again. I have enough trouble with normal reality...
pixelacious: (Default)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-26 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
What do you think us being here is proof of?

[ Mostly because she's curious. She's quickly figuring out not everyone thinks they're data - and maybe they aren't. AndrAIa has always managed to be open to new ideas, and she can deal with this one, too.

But it's weird how different these ideas are. ]
bewrightback: (smile)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-26 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Phoenix looks a little softer, a little more optimistic.]

I see. Thank you... I think that's all I needed to know.

If something like this happened before... and the worlds were restored... then it can happen again for us. There's still hope to be seized.
civics: (When you feel my heat)

sorry a little late!! - A

[ Seated across the aisle from the man who seems to be talking to nobody in particular, Erwin sits quietly next to his Captain, listening to the others on the bus talk about this or that. Nothing like this has every happened to him before - he's never even seen anything like this. Being herded into this thing wasn't on his to-do list, being forcefully removed from his horse and dropped into some unknown world most certainly wasn't among his top priorities.

He finally turns to the man, slight frown on his face ]


I've never even seen anything comparable to the thing we're currently sitting in - a bus, I believe I heard somebody say.

[ Basically, Erwin should still be riding his horse into battle to rescue one of the most important members of his entire corps... not sitting on a bus headed for Hell and listening to everybody attempting to carry on a conversation. He should be trying to figure out the best way possible for himself and his Captain to return home, to return where they belong, not engaging in conversation himself. ]

Hanamura, you say?

[She was about to ask if he's related to one Teruteru Hanamura, but if he doesn't know what a Super High School Level is... there's no way. Not to mention that he probably isn't even from the Japan she knows of if he's never heard the title.]

Super High School Level Swordswoman. It was the title given to me when I entered Hope's Peak Academy. It means one is the very best in one's particular field, at the high school level.

[continued here!]

bewrightback: (give this one some more thought)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-26 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
You do sound pretty mature...

I can understand that line off thinking. [Heck, that practically is my line of thinking!] So I guess that it checks out.
pixelacious: (WELL ► that sure is a thing yes.)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-26 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Just this - day. [ There's a slight pause, not because she's hiding anything, but because she's reminding herself to say day rather than second. Although for all she knows this girl's a sprite as well and will be just as confused as she was by the use of "day"...

So far it doesn't seem like anyone else shares her manner of tracking time, though. ]


I have to say I could do with a little bit less welcoming.

[ Mirrors. Saber seems strangely intrigued by them, stopping every few feet to see how she looks in the different ones. ]

It appears like I have become a dwarf in this mirror.

[ She stops next to Rei, the person who had entered the fun house before her, apparently talking to her despite not knowing her. But there's something bothering Saber too, something that notices in the corner of her eye, but saying nothing about yet. She is not easy to be snuck up on! ]
pixelacious: (PLEASED ► do go on.)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-26 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
I'd tell you not to litter, but I think in this case it's probably acceptable.

[ She's still curious about the other gift, but revises her estimation from "bomb" to "wildly inappropriate". ]

Were you on one of the other buses?
perfectstrike: (contemplative)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-26 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yes...?

[Kaoru heard her. An ambul-- ah, wait. Ye Olde.]

Which is to say, a vehicle that is used to transport the injured to a hospital. But I agree. It does make one wonder how exactly they expect us to react when presented with something like this.

Someone should make their displeasure known.
