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 ❅

WE WISH TO BRING YOU MERRY FEELINGS FOR THE HOLIDAY ❅

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.

[ weiss does not believe you ONE BIT oz, because you are way to happy to be someone who's been taken from his world and told it was just destroyed.

but she isn't completely rude, so she will take that hand and give it a nice, first shake. but will release his hand almost instantly. ]


Weiss Schnee. [ she says it like it should mean something. ]

So... Oz. [ if that IS your name. ] How long have you been here, exactly?

--pff.

[It's half hilarious BECAUSE HE WASN'T EXPECTING THAT he thought Yang was the only one who'd be making terrible jokes. Naoki puts a hand over his face as he laughs.

When you see a girl who seems as proper as Weiss you aren't expecting puns, okay!!]

[ At least she won't be slowing them down. Judith's paying no mind to the thin trickles of blood down one leg, and moves easily regardless, even as she passes along an amused glance. He's about Flynn's level of formality, isn't he? Perhaps more so. ]

It's just Judith.

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-26 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You can call me Judith. [ with a VERY FIRM SMILE. ] And I can't say I've seen a dragon like you before. You can change forms, then?

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-26 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't mind a bit of a challenge, anyway. But thank you for your help.

[Kaoru, at least, seems to have recovered from the momentary surprise. The look present now is one of vague apology and mild embarrassment, like a mild social gaffe had been committed. Still, the question is met with a nod, since there's not any point in trying to deny that.]

It caught me by surprise, a little... [To say the least... But that obvious statement is followed by the briefest outward flick of one hand; an elegant gesture of emphasis as Kaoru explains further.]

The Shinsengumi is full of recognizable names now, isn't it? In the future, "Okita Souji" is a name that spread beyond the borders of Japan. Even in my time, most people know of that group.

[In a very negative light BUT STILL. At least that should give Souji an idea of the span of time and places they're dealing with, even if there's no intention to even touch the alternate realities thing yet.]

I apologize, though... The last thing I wanted to do is give you complicated things to think about when you're feeling unwell.

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-26 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe you should save your breath for now.

[ And she's moving to block Jaune from further attack, springing from the car again for some aerial Santa juggling. ]
psycholawgy: (i'm all about that bass)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-26 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha! One point for the defense! I think we should make this a contest. See who's the best in the court.

[ no Athena that's a bad idea... ]

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-26 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Will panicking solve any of that?

[That sure was an intense reaction for someone who wasn't at all involved in that particular situation.]

That's right, [He said, crossing his arms. It was a touchy subject, but they had all heard similar news at this point. Perhaps, Cliff realized, the reason he adapted to it as well as he has is because it wasn't new to him anymore. It was just an annoyance.] It ain't the first time I left the known universe either, but the last time was something I did of my own will.
breakin: ('Cause I'm back)

[personal profile] breakin 2015-03-26 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Mireu doesn't even acknowledge the engineers comment. It doesn't make a damn lick of sense, it's true, but lots of things don't here, and asking questions out loud doesn't usually get you a lot of answers. Better to just piece things together as best you can on your own, and hope you get it right.

Mireu's fine with the shoe talking too. There are a lot of people that refuse to make eye contact with him, though it's usually for very different reasons. He looks amused still, not that Haru can necessarily tell, what with the shoe staring going on right now.
]

No? But isn't that the point of a funhouse?

[ There's a slight edge in his tone as he asks that. He might not have been writhing on the ground in pain with Haru, but that doesn't mean he hasn't noticed the weird figures in the mirrors as he trekked his way through here. ]

[Should he listen to Santa? Well, why should he when he got his ‘gift’? Nothing is really better than Pascal greeting him with her smile and optimism.]

I was told to wait until I reach my place, however, I suppose there would be no harm in opening it now.

[Maybe part of him was embarrassed because what if it was a comic book or a figure? At least he knows Pascal knows about his… interests. Or if she doesn’t know, she hasn’t cared to make the correlation. So with a childlike excitement, he opens the first box to look inside and pulls out the package with the mistletoe…

…though it’s the other thing in there that causes his face to light up with a blush before stuffing it back in the box.]


What kind of place believes it is okay to hand out such things with general ease? [Is this what they thought he wanted? though let’s be real it kind of is

The other box he doesn’t even dare to open because if one contained such a naughty gift, it’s only natural the other one does as well.]


I suppose it was careless of me to think that they would have actually handed me a gift I wanted.

[Yet a huge part of him is disappointed. No comic book or figure…]

[This sounds like a GRIEVOUS WRONGDOING INDEED with the way it's worded here...! Kaoru feels vaguely insulted on his behalf!! Or at least looks the part, anyway.

One hand is raised in polite dismissal at that, though. Who would accept food that's just been called a horrible tasting, ill prepared, passionless monstrosity...]


Thank you for the offer, but I'm not very fond of the food here, myself. [Too, too greasy.]

Perhaps you could give it to one of the children here? It seems like the sort of flavor combination that they might find enjoyable.

[Just the knowing is not so embarrassing in itself to Souji, it seems like a pretty normal thing to know about. But he has to admit that discussing the subject with someone you just met, say, in a context outside the perfumed houses of Shimabara... well, that's just not something he's comfortable with. And waving an object like that around in public without knowing is not exactly an exercise in dignity.]

Well, thank you for saving me from further embarrassment, then. It would seem as if you hosts have a rather strange sense of humor, wouldn't it?

[Not that this hadn't been quite evident from the nature of the rides. He shakes his head emphatically in response to her question.]

I'm guessing it's meant to be some sort of holiday or festival, but I've never heard about it before. Somehow I have a feeling that this first impression might be a somewhat... unusual one.
bewrightback: (too smug)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-26 02:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's a good kid.]

Well... I wouldn't be a responsible boss if I let you handle that responsibility all by yourself.

Trucy and I are here now... We'll do our parts to help out on that front.

This is my regular outfit! [ l-look she can't help the fact that the schnee color scheme happens to match the theme of this weirdo ride!

also wait she suddenly realizes how stupid this conversation is, so she just HMPHS loudly and spins back around, chin up. ]


Not that I have to prove anything to you.

[Yogi is in total agreement. Before this, he'd cherished every single gift ever given to him, no matter how small or strange it might have seemed.]

It's pretty bad, for sure! I-- eh, yell at us? Can trash cans really do that?

[Somehow, that is just as confusing as getting handed sex toys for gifts. Trash cans definitely weren't supposed to talk back, and he is hoping that just one thing today will go normally now.]

[ Unlike their romantic affairs, Jaune is remarkably in tune with Pyrrha when it comes to fighting together. Almost as if on cue, he spins around at the same time, but when the lights come on and she collides with him, he tries to catch his partner... only to stumble back and pull her along with him.

The floorspace is tight, so he doesn't end up completely flat on his back. Instead, he's planted on the floor, with his back against the wall and Pyrrha still on top of him. The proximity of their faces really makes him feel her breath instead of the not-snake's this time... it's warmer in comparison. He strictly maintains eye contact, though, since she's still in a slightly higher position and looking anywhere below would make this... really awkward. ]


A-Are you okay? [ He realizes he's still holding on to her, before promptly letting go. Truthfully, he's no stranger to falling down, so his concern for his partner takes precedence, despite his position. ]
buildyourworld: (I'll handle it)

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-26 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Be careful. [ Tieria gives the boy a small tug to help him up, feeling a little guilty for accidentally hurting him. ]

I'm trained.

[ And Tieria isn't sure how to carry this conversation either so he's just going to pick the safest option. ]

But I saw a few people who are even stronger...
spes_phthisica: by nique (It's you my love)

[personal profile] spes_phthisica 2015-03-26 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Honestly, Souji is very deeply in favor of anyone who appreciates Saizo's adorableness to that extent, and it certainly doesn't hurt that she seems to be helping him calm down.

So he just beams at her, not looking too bothered by hearing that this place is all wrong, because he knows it is. It's not his home, not his safe place in the world. It's strange and noisy and full of people he doesn't know. But it does strike him, at least, that he can't be alone in feeling this.]


I'm sorry to hear that. It's a shame to make a mess of something meant to make people happy. [He shrugs, folding his legs under himself in an attempt to sit more comfortably.] At least the sweets I've had so far were very nice - and very different from anything I've ever had before! [Shush, a grown man can be really exited about this, okay.] I suppose it's just a matter of being careful about where you go and what you do here. I'm pretty used to that, at least.
sugarcoats: (065)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-26 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, really? I mean, I'm sure someone would appreciate this sort of thing, but just handing it out to anyone isn't a good idea. Next time anyone is giving anything out, I'll definitely be more careful!

[ weiss isn't sure how she manages to go from feeling mildly touched to mildly offended to incredibly exasperated within the span of a handful of seconds, but there you go.

"emotionally exhaustive" must be jaune arc's semblance.

midway through his stumbling, she lifts a hand to stop him or wave him off or something. ]


A filter, Jaune Arc. You might want to look into using one.

What kind of terrorist group commits atrocities without some kind of political statement to accompany it? Without that, they're nothing more than a rabble of organised thugs.
