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)

//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!!!

[SOUNDS GOOD ENOUGH honesty is usually more important than being trusting... even though both are fundamentally useless, as far as Kaoru is concerned.]

That will suit you well enough here, I believe. It's up to us to determine who and what to believe here, so a little disbelief may help you.
harepiece: (always cheats at uno)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-26 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
[A mildly sympathetic look... He knows how it goes, wanting to try something only to realize too late that it's TERRIBLE.]

But the other things are nice, if you're hungry! The pretzels are soft and warm and the popcorn isn't too salty. If you like sweet things, the cotton candy is good too! But not very filling...
harepiece: (it's been years)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-26 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
[THAT JAE-HA, what a charmer...

But really, Oz is pretty interested to hear that since it's always nice to get a little insight into the minds of other people. It's something he agrees with, too; people-watching can be pretty soothing, or just enjoyable in general.

And then he RUINS THE CONTEMPLATIVE MOOD like a butt, and Oz is laughing again because this punk. Truly, between the two of them, the punkitude levels will be unbearable.]


You're not wrong about that! I guess a fair isn't as bad as things could be, but no one's ever really happy when they show up here.
harepiece: (you heathens)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-26 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, that's no good... Oz is quick to crouch down next to her, and though he doesn't reach out - doesn't know how this stranger might react to being touched - he does give off the air that he wouldn't mind literally lending her a shoulder if she needed it.]

Hey... Why don't I grab something for you here, and you go find a seat at one of those tables?

[The area that he gestures to is relatively free of people and certainly much more private than the front of a concession line, so it's clear he's trying to give her a space to calm down.]
harepiece: (oh.....)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-26 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
[IT'S STILL UNSANITARY gosh!!! Anyway since Oz has a rough idea of the Workings Of Kazoo by now, he will (kind of) drop it (kind of, because he doesn't tuck the kerchief back away just yet, simply folding it on his lap instead).

As for the question, Kuzuryuu gets a curious look.]


Hm? Oh! No, the amusement park is new! Sometimes it's festivals, and we had a masquerade ball once...

[Okay but is that any better... OR IS THAT POSSIBLY WORSE.]
braider: (pic#8916074)

[personal profile] braider 2015-03-26 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Stormfly had been as much on edge from all the unusualness as Astrid. When the dragon began stomping her feet and squawking, she wasn't immediately concerned, given she had been reacting similarly most of the day. But when the dragon started nudging at her to get her attention, Astrid finally turned to see what was going on.

Before she could even process what was coming, she was tackled by another dragon, and the licks began.]


-- Toothless? [The surprise in her voice is evident, but there's laughter too. Seeing Toothless was a relief, by far, but it was who was following the dragon that filled her with happiness for the first time since she found herself in this strange place.]

Hiccup. Gods-- [she doesn't even pause to get the dragon slobber off. The second she sees him, her feet leave the ground. She pulls him into a tight embrace without any hesitantion, burying her face in his chest.]

Thank Odin, you're here. I was so worried. [She barely wanted to admit it, but being here alone scared her, not to mention the fear of what had happened to everyone else. She didn't understand any of this. It was all way beyond her. She didn't like any of it still, but having Hiccup maybe everything seem maybe a little more bearable.]
harepiece: (?????)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-26 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
We don't have a whole lot of extra time, right?

[Stopping to ask would have just burned up VALUABLE RESOURCES okay!! They have to live in the moment.]
harepiece: (oh.....)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-26 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
I'm ready to do that!

[He seems very eager and determined, at least?! Even if he's also all of 5'3" and kind of scrawny-looking...

But he'll direct his attention toward the window after that, and he does seem to be on his guard, waiting carefully.]


...This ride isn't as fast as I remember.
harepiece: (please let it be cake)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-26 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
[It's gonna happen it's definitely gonna happen.

But in the meantime, Oz is just looking very impressed by her opening-suspicious-packages-from-a-distance skills! Clearly someone here is a champ at doing things the long and somewhat sketchy way.]


Okay! Let's stand back as far as we can. [Scootin and scootin until the ribbon eventually runs out of room to scoot back with. Once he reaches that point, he glances over at Rei.]

Are you ready? I'm going to pull it on the count of three, okay?
buildyourworld: (Judging you)

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-26 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ Is that a no for what? Of course he completely forgot that this guy offered to help him because he was too busy gawking at his impressive display of strength before he got annoyed at the inevitable moment of mistaken gender. In any case, the question stops him from walking off as he turns around in mild curiosity, at least he looks less icy now. ]

Did you want something? [ By now, it should be really obvious that he's not a woman, either by his manly voice or by the obvious lack of rack on the upper body. ]
harepiece: (no can do captain)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-26 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
[IT WASN'T AT ALL IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT... That sure is one way to put it. Oz just looks increasingly sympathetic, because he sure knows how that all goes.]

You should be careful on the other rides, too. They're kind of all like that.
braider: (pic#8916069)

[personal profile] braider 2015-03-26 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Not everyone has been as comfortable with a dragon around, so when AndrAIa approaches, genuinely interested in Stormfly, Astrid's a little thrown.

Of course, where she's from, dragons are everywhere. She's used to them, as is her village, but outside of them? Most people were still afraid. So it is a little surprising to see a stranger so curious. Not that she minds. She's still uneasy about, well, everything, but she's trying to at least not throw her axe at anyone else (it didn't end well for the robot in question) for right now.]


Stormfly. Her name is Stormfly. [Stormfly, however uneasy due to the rides and such, is not so much bothered by the new stranger. The dragon moves forward, sniffing at the woman, before tilting her head to the side and squawking pleasantly.]

She likes you. [Which actually puts Astrid more at ease, and as she strokes her dragon's side, she's able to get AndrAIa a small smile.]
harepiece: (please let it be cake)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-26 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
[JUST SCRATCHES, that's pretty good as far as Oz-based rescue missions go! He's quickly swinging his way into the carriage before actually checking to see if he's leaping into a Dangerous Situation, since clearly that isn't the important part here. NO, what's important is checking the passengers!!

Of course, his check immediately reveals that 1) this guy is familiar! and 2) HE CAUSED SOME INJURY.]


Oh—! Are you all right?!
braider: (pic#8916064)

[personal profile] braider 2015-03-26 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
[When Rock Lee comes across them, Astrid is hesitantly feeding Stormfly some strange meat called "hotdogs", her own sitting on a low standing wall next to them. When she asked the storekeeper for meat, she wasn't expecting...whatever they were, so she's almost holding them as if they were toxic. But for all she knew, they could be. What was a "hotdog", anyway? How was this meat?

But her concerns are interrupted by a stranger approaching, and she shifts on her feet unsurely. It's not that she mindx the people here, from what she's gathered, they're in the same boat as her. It's concern for her dragon and people's reactions to her that makes her a little more hesitant.]


Thanks. [Stormfly, however, clearly recognized she was being complimented. She squawked happily, flapping her wings proudly, before shaking her head.]

She's a bit of a show-off, sorry.
buildyourworld: (......)

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-26 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, no. He's not amused by this present but even so, there's not an ounce of shame displayed on his face as he stares at the offensive items, as if willing them to evaporate by sheer will power. ]

Dispose of it, Haro.

[ The Haro heads to the trash to do just that. On the other hand, however, Tieria gives her a curious look. ]

What if yours is different? [ No one says all the presents are the same? ]
buildyourworld: (why am i even)

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-26 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ They actually agree on something...

He's getting lectured more than he ever like today but because it is his own fault, he's just going to suck it up and bear with it. ]


It won't happen again. I apologize.

[ More if you count the previous ones and those that will eventually receive the same treatment. ]
bozu: (and i am so glad i did)

1/2; the weeniest of the phases

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-26 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
[its a weenie phase because he wouldn't ride normal versions of these rides, let's be real]

Unfortunately... it is. Peppermint candy.
It's just so - so disrespectful to their ingredients and the consumers! Expecting us to enjoy something like this...

[He doesn't even hesitate to unceremoniously chucked into the nearest trash can, with a deep frown. It's getting the nicest death it can, really.

Then finally turning to face who he's speaking to - ]
bozu: (so whos sleeping with the dark lord)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-26 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
[And his eyes seem to light up, for some reason or another.]

Ahh, a cosplay? How absolutely adorable...! I haven't seen someone as attractive as you wear a headband like that so openly before!
Is it a hobby of yours? Or perhaps a passion?

[... Yes, he means the rabbit ears. Forgive him, he comes from a world of normal humans--]
bozu: (8 red jalapeño peppers)

more like super weenie hut jr

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-26 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no no, that's not it at all! In fact, I love almost all food...
Aside from ill prepared, horrible tasting, passionless food.

Like prepacked junk, or... this monstrosity!

[He'd rather make a corndog himself if this is the way he's going to be treated...!!]

... You can have it if you'd like, but I honestly don't recommend it. It would take some seriously acidic food to get its taste out of your mouth...!
eggcream: (④⑨)

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-26 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
Take it like a man, Hinata!! [DON'T BE SUCH A WEENIE]

...but, wait... didn't you say there weren't any tanks here?
bozu: (admiring the view :9)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-26 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Subtlety?? Never heard of it.]

A-ah, well, I was obviously a media sensation...! All over the news!
My family's home was a fancy, upscale restaurant, after all... And in such a populated place, it wouldn't be surprising for it to attract so much attention, no?

Of course, I can't say I enjoyed all of the limelight... after all, I much prefer getting to know people... one-on-one, if you catch my drift.
eggcream: (⑥ I feel light-headed and dizzy)

1/4

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-26 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
...s-sure, I'll be careful...
eggcream: (⑥ I feel light-headed and dizzy)

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-26 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
...
eggcream: (⑤⑥)

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-26 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
....... [Why... why is she staring at him like that? Doesn't she have anything else to say? Or is she... waiting for him to say something?]
eggcream: (④①)

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-26 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
[It's seriously so awkward...

But wait, she's probably waiting for that, isn't she?]


O-oh, uh... thanks, Pekoyama. [Maybe??]
