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.

[Tadashi doesn't answer immediately. He takes a moment to rub his face one last time, before sitting up and replacing his hat back on his head.]

It's... a lot to take in, for sure.

[He knows others have been here longer and are more adjusted - which would explain how some people he's run into are so chill about all this - and he knows it will come with time, but right now, he's just so overwhelmed with it all.]

[Actually, Rock Lee will gently scoop it up and deposit it in the nearest trash bin.]

Buses? Ah... I have never ridden a bus before, and I hope that it never happens!
bozu: (and i am so glad i did)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-26 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
[WELL... no... But it's better than staring at the ground!!
He does go back to looking for a moment more, but it kinda startles him when the ferris wheel finally stops at the very top...]


... A-aha, this thing sure is tall. And... dark?

[Yes, that's right - it's finally getting rather dark in the car, and it's doing so rather quickly.]

Wha... Wh-wh-wha...
What's going on!?
niceguypose: (Here drink some)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-03-26 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Er... Yes. I have been here for around one month. Others appear to have been here for even longer. It is certainly a mysterious place... and it can be frightening! So I believe that simple kindnesses can be very helpful!

[He grabs one corn dog and holds the other out towards her.]

[personal profile] twomeals 2015-03-26 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Stand--huh?

[Yue hears, but his reflexes are a little too slow for him to properly heed. When the window breaks he falls back in his seat, trying to cover himself as best he can with his skinny arms. Scratches are inevitable, sadly.

At least he's otherwise unhurt?]
pixelacious: (EXCUSE ME ► EXCUSE ME?!)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-26 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
That would be a no, then. After we got shown a bunch of powerpoints, we got bussed over here - why don't you want to ride a bus, by the way?

[ It didn't seem that bad to her, aside from not remotely wanting to go on the bus. ]
niceguypose: (ride me)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-03-26 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
I would rather race it!!

Ah... if you saw the points of power, than you must be new here! I will be your loyal guide, AndrAIa-san!
hatsoff: (squints at)

[personal profile] hatsoff 2015-03-26 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
[That was definitely not the reaction he was expecting? Tadashi raises an eyebrow at the guy, before giving a brief glance around in an attempt to see why in fact he was hiding like he was.]

Sorry? [He lowered his voice this time, before he leaned onto the seat in front of him. He crossed his arms against the head, and rather than look down at the person hiding, he keeps his gaze forward, in an attempt to not "blow his cover." He may not know what's going on, but he can roll with it.]

Is someone looking for you?
bewrightback: (hobo | we make this look good)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-26 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Just try not to get lost. [This place kind of gives me a bad feeling...

He reaches for her hand and gives it a squeeze.]


And especially try to have fun.

[How can anyone guess something like that?!]

I guess 'dimension machine' didn't sound as catchy.

Do you happen to have that machine... er... anywhere around here?
hamham: when you're drunk because there is a bug in the shower. (21)

[No you don't want him in your talent agency, Trucy. You really don't. Unless you have animals.

He watches her as she introduces herself, crossing his arms during the short speech. And now it's his turn, right? Apologies for how...loud...he is.]


Fuahahahahahaha! Nice to meet me, you say? This is only because you do not yet know me!

[With a quick rush of movement from his scarf, four hamsters quickly appear, realizing an introduction when they hear one and you bet they're getting in on this.]

I am the tyrant of twilight! The world's one true enemy! The precursor to catastrophe! I am the Supreme Overlord of Ice, Tanaka Gundam!

[So what was that about dramatics?]

[ goodness. it's with a hint of fatigue that hiccup and toothless are walking around. while the not!snoggletog carnival itself may have been a point of wonder at some part of the night, the lights and the questionable rides were a bit of a sour turn of events and, as hiccup's found... maybe so many people and so much noise was a little exhausting after a while.

so, he thinks maybe that's why toothless's stopped, ear-fins raised and entire body frozen as if looking for something. he doesn't think much of it at first, only offers a small hand on a scaly side to calm him down, muttering something along the lines of "I get it, bud, we'll leave soon"....

... until the dragon completely runs off in the direction he'd been staring at, and when hiccup turns in bewilderment at such a quick and departure that he's hardly ever seen, he suddenly understands. because now he's frozen too, as he thinks he catches sight of what toothless was so interested in.

the familiar dragon is one thing. the dragon's owner, who he knows so so well--is another.

all at once he feels a thousand and one emotions. relief and homesickness he knew he had but had been trying to avoid rushes into his chest; before he knows it, he's running right behind toothless. from behind astrid, the sound of rapid footsteps, before a familiar dragon bursts into the scene, huffing low sounds of excitement and slobbering astrid with licks, smiling toothlessly at stormfly.

hiccup slips in slowly as that big bundle of distraction is happening, gaze shifting between astrid and stormfly and back to astrid.

and, finally, he finds his voice: ]


That-- [ ah, no, the words are stuck in his throat that time. try again. ] That, unfortunately, doesn't wash off.

[ that's a joke, but it's not said with the same lighthearted, sarcastic tone he might've normally said it in. there's-- a lot there, maybe it's a little hoarse, as he tries to take everything in.

astrid is here. astrid is here, and he knew he missed her, but it looks like he didn't understand how much. ]
bewrightback: (really listening)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-26 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[He frowns sympathetically.]

We'll keep looking, Rei. Maybe someone will turn up. [She seems mature, but it can't be easy for anyone her age to be without anyone she knows.]
bewrightback: (oh boy i done goofed)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-26 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[He hastily kicks it away, as if that erases any evidence of his touching it, before he turns to face the assailant.]

I am! But that's...

...Why did you throw that?!
niceguypose: (drained)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-03-26 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
[He lowers his hands in defeat.]

Ah... I am so very sorry for being improper, Miss! Please... I am to be as polite as possible!

I would think you would know whether it was or not. Didn't that little village of yours, near Mercury, look a little like these decorations?

[ Nice try Alex.

Menardi indicates the snowmen. Ignore that Prox has more snow than Imil-
]
bewrightback: (a very special presentation...)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-26 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
No complaints here. [He puts on a more genuinely hopeful smile.]

By the way, my name's Phoenix Wright. [He presents his badge.]
hatsoff: (profiled)

[personal profile] hatsoff 2015-03-26 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
[He probably needs to be interrupted. He's still struggling with processing everything, but he doesn't need to linger on it all too long, either.

Tadashi glances up at the girl when she speaks up, offering a half-smile, in an attempt to be okay. He's not, not in the slightest, but he's trying to get there, for Hiro.]


Not exactly, but I will be. Eventually. [okay so maybe not for a while, to be honest, but he's pretty sure if learning you died was an actual thing anywhere but here, that would be the norm for it.]
hamham: pizza jammed into the disk slot of my PS3, and the entire kitchen floor is covered in cereal I can't see any wood floor. (My window is missing there is half a)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-26 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
[But why would you call Hinata Hajime a monster? What about him says "monster"? He's probably one of the most harmless looking people around.]

Sit around and wait... [Why is it always sitting around and waiting? Like that is literally the worst thing. He is getting very fed up with just sitting around. And waiting.]

A proactive approach is far more desirable, despite whatever this CERES has decided. Truly, if things are as dire as you imply, remaining on guard would be best. Though even a more offensive stance would likely be an effective strategy...

[He's heard things. Things about a death roller coaster and a haunted Ferris Wheel.]

Hm? I have considered it...but I have not yet approached the vendors myself, no.

[ Pearl wasn't expecting Athena to be so... emotional at seeing her. Though a month, wow... She'll certainly give the energetic lawyer a hug back. ]

A month? That's so long! You didn't even go missing! [ Ok, that was probably explained in the powerpoint presentation, but it's still so weird to think of as an actual thing. ] How have you been?
hatsoff: (trying to be the cutest hamada)

[personal profile] hatsoff 2015-03-26 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[When he notices the young girl on the car, he tries to mask some his of worry. Trying, being the key word of course. He had put so much effort into hiding it from Hiro that he was almost too exhausted to anymore. Still, he tries, offering the girl a weak smile in return.]

Yeah. Yeah, I am. [He's not, not at all. But who would be, learning they died from their own actions?]
pixelacious: (CONTENT ► keep talking.)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-26 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ o.......kay. that was not the answer she was expecting... ]

So you've been to this park before? I certainly wouldn't mind a tour.
stagewright: art by <user name=173167 site=pixiv.com> (DADDY ► backsasses.)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-26 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Of course I will! Should we pick a time to meet up near the front again, though?

[ Since he's telling her not to get lost...just in case. ]
springful: (thanks for the death threat gil)

[personal profile] springful 2015-03-26 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Put it away so that it may never see the light of day again... But with that thankfully done, she simply nods.]

If I know the answer, at least. What is it?
