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.

[ The Haro is nothing like a CYbuddy, and Yoon will know it soon because the little bot is extending it's robotic greeting to him. ]

Hello! Hello! Haro is Haro!

[ Tieria smile a little at the cheerful bot, glad for the distraction because he doesn't want to endure a lecture. Maybe he should reflect on his own habit to lecture others... ]

Haro arrived with me, it's a service assistance robot.

Wow... you're from a different world.

Listen, I-- [ Before Jaune can say anything more, a Santa hits him in the back with a mace, hurling Jaune across the floor. ]

What do you mean this isn't the first time you heard of this?

Well, all jokes are funny 'cause they're a little true!

What's with all the robots trying to kill everyone, though? If you tell me it's part of the attraction, then I'm in trouble.

[Rock Lee at least doesn't show any signs of hostility; just of admiration. Even though he's met Toothless, the difference in their appearance leaves him uncertain as to whether they're both dragons. Although, her attire probably reminds him of Hiccup's.

But he claps his hands together in joy regardless.]


Is that so? She must be young, then! Because it is only natural to be rambunctious and show off when you're feeling the rashness of youth! Are the two of you companions?
niceguypose: (friendly)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-03-26 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
It would be acceptable to chose 'all'... but pretzels also sound like a fine and youthful choice! Hmm... Perhaps we should purchase a large amount! It can be an indulgence of youth!
niceguypose: (Here drink some)

I have to study this holiday further. From what I understand... it is a winter holiday about the giving of gifts! And it is all centered around one old man...

[AndrAIa you played a game made by trolls]

[ And then… the robot trash bin shouting match begins. ]

ALLOY ALLOY ALLOY ALLOY ALLOY—

THE ONE WHO YELLS ALLOY IS ALLOY.


[ Fortunately, Pyrrha’s had more than enough of listening to angry, mouthy trash bins yell both at and near her. She can certainly see why everyone has warned her off of engaging with these strange devices. When Shinjiro offers her a distraction, she all but leaps on it. ]

Oh, right.

[ In the empty bin it goes and she is free! (For the fourth or fifth time, apparently.) Looking back at her saviour, Pyrrha continues, ]

We should get out of here before they remember us.

That sounds look it could work. But only if they look more silly than threatening.

[Souji just smiles, because smiling is a lot easier than allowing weakness, it always has been. The only thing he has to fight for here is his own survival, his own ability to linger on until he can get back where he belongs. To die for one's own safety is quite the paradox, and he'll only fight for it if he needs to, and so... so he has no purpose, for now. Without Hijikata, without Kondou, without Tetsu, without any of his comrades, it's not so strange.

One hand closes briefly into a hard fist, however. It's bad enough to still have the prospect of being slowly imprisoned in one's own body praying on your mind, without having to be kept captive in a more literal sense until that time comes about.]
I don't really care for either prettiness or gifts that much, no... especially when they come at the price of my home and my freedom.

[Thankfully, he is good at reading between the lines, and good at understanding why someone would prefer not to outright offer such a thing - especially if you'd prefer to keep your motives to yourself.] Thank you. [It could just be thanks for the support he's been given, even as he seems able to straighten out properly and breathe easier, or perhaps just for the encouraging words.] You're right, of course. There is no point simply accepting the situation - my friends certainly wouldn't. If they have come here, they'll be looking. [He grimaces slightly, a strangely childish gesture, followed by a similarly juvenile little laugh.] Though in Yamazaki-san's case, probably just to feed me health food and lecture me about walking around outside.
bewrightback: (this my really really neutral face)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-26 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope so. [He gives a soft shake of his head.]

You'd think with all of the unbelievable technology they seem to have here, that they'd have their rides running a lot more smoothly.

[So far, this is one place that I'd gladly sic my prosecutor friends on.

He does give a sidelong glance towards the person talking to him, though. Something seems a bit... unusual.]

[ It’s not a good time to smile, so Pyrrha shifts her head to keep him from seeing hers. His words warm her; and not just for the tangled skein of unsorted feelings - it’s good to be reminded that she can rely on her partner.

Now, she reaches over her shoulder and Miló slides cleanly into her hand. ]


I know. [ Believing in him, as ever. Her voice is kept low, and thick with it. Tilting her head back to give the ceiling a cursory glance, his hair cushions her, the length of her ponytail caught between their backs. The hissing grows unbearably loud, drowning out thought and any further words that might be shared between them. A taut sound, assuming motion, rings out. Sensing something lunging, teeth bared in the darkness, toward her ear, Pyrrha spins -

And, as the lights turn back on, collides into Jaune. ]

I've played this before!

[ She hastily takes the ball and gives the robot in charge of the booth her card to swipe for credits. You're lucky she's paying, Simon!!

The robot rings the bell and the game's timer starts ticking. Athena tosses the ball to the ring, and in it goes! ]

The... dance?

Wait, so you don't remember Zwei and the--

[ Of course she remembers the dance, but that means... CERES could pull you from a different time? Or mess with your memories, she wouldn't put it past them. ]

[personal profile] multiglyphs 2015-03-26 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ weiss is certain, at least, that he is no longer at her side, and for a split-second she worries he might leave somehow (despite knowing there was no way he could leave). ]

We'll have to agree to disagree.

[ she squints in the darkness, trying to figure out what he's done now. ]

What are you doing?
bewrightback: (the smuggest bluff)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-26 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods.]

That's right! She happens to be my subordinate. You know her too?
kicksilver: (yes i'm siskel)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-26 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, you can't see me.

[ He drops his arms immediately. He can't see very well either, but he knows how to navigate the small space they have from seeing how it was lit earlier. ]

I was trying to beg for your forgiveness while on one knee.
gareki: tsunkuuyandere (012)

[personal profile] gareki 2015-03-26 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, an apology. He didn't expect that.

But despite the bad first impression, it doesn't like this person is being insincere with his apology. He did claim that it wasn't even intentional. The boy nods his head. ]


Alright. Sorry for kicking it back at you.
flaredo: (You are so not cute)

[personal profile] flaredo 2015-03-26 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
He wouldn't tell me. He just said they were a group of 'underground troublemakers'.
multiglyphs: (Default)

[personal profile] multiglyphs 2015-03-26 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Enemies?

[ the level of skepticism in weiss' tone is so heavy, she could probably use it to defend herself. ]

So we have been kidnapped. [ she knew it! ]
shacklebreaker: (:I)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-26 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmph, let me try.

[Not to be outdone, he another ball and attempts a shot... and it seems on course to go in, until it rolls off the hoop and drops to the side.]

... You were lucky. It's clearly rigged. [Or he's just a sore loser.]
