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.

Yeah, of course-- I've tried to keep notes of the things that've happened since I got here, at least. But you probably haven't even had a chance to look around the colony properly yet.

[So he's more than okay with waiting until later on!]

Apollo... was it? [From the shouting that he was fine--] I'm Hinata. Hajime Hinata.
queenofminiskirts: (excited || boobs)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2015-03-26 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kaoru's hand jerks back in surprise because what was that--

...wait, that sounded like a person.

Kaoru moves away from the mirror a little and she would have turned to corner herself to see who it was if they hadn't come around the corner.

And, oh. it's a cute girl!]


Kaoru smiles, bright and wide, and closes whatever distance there was between them with wide steps.]

Hi! Are you lost? Do you want me to hold your hand? [But she's not even waiting for an answer before she starts reaching for your hands with her own.]
twomeals: ([awkward] 08)

[personal profile] twomeals 2015-03-26 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't have to apologize.

[It's not really his fault, after all. And starting over isn't a bad thing, right? Right.]

My name is Yue. It's nice to meet you, Gareki-san.
queenofminiskirts: (neutral || how about no)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2015-03-26 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[She is not a normal person by any stretch of the imagination.

She feels a bit bad that he had to deal with her garbage. You know, just a little.]


W-well, I was just surprised! I mean, who wouldn't be? [What she's trying to say is that her reaction was totally normal.]
twomeals: ([oh] 06)

[personal profile] twomeals 2015-03-26 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh-!?

[Well nothing's tried to kill him yet, so there's not much reason to get excited, is there?

Then again, the screaming is both a shock and....hurting his ears. And he'd react to that, but with the seat suddenly moving, he's--well. Excuse him as he starts (somewhat purposely) sliding off his chair.

If she's still holding onto him maybe she can come, too.]
queenofminiskirts: (other || ...funny story.)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2015-03-26 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not mine!

[The denial comes instinctively, and she barely even thinks about it. After all, she has a bit of a reputation back home (which is well earned), but...he didn't actually accuse her of owning it, did he?]

I mean...[With her knee jerk reaction over with, she now feels guilty about the fact that she hadn't looked at where she was throwing that thing.] Sorry. I just...didn't expect it so I may have over-reacted... [Just a little though!]
queenofminiskirts: (neutral || ...what.)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2015-03-26 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, it's just in the mirror right? What could possibly happen?

Her hand jerks back a bit, but she doesn't actually make any real attempt to move away from the mirror. Her hand is even still hanging in the air as she turns to look at whoever had spoken.]


...it's just a mirror. [Pause. And then she looks back at the mirror (now without the monster) suspiciously.] Isn't it?
twomeals: ([oh] 31)

[personal profile] twomeals 2015-03-26 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Stronger?

[Now he's imagining a whole hoard of flying robots.

.....Let's not think about that.]


...Why did you kick it, anyway? It didn't seem very dangerous.
twomeals: ([awkward] 03)

[personal profile] twomeals 2015-03-26 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Picking himself up.....rather than answering the question, he's just going to stare at his "savior" for a moment.]

....Ah. It's you.
twomeals: ([hm] 04)

[personal profile] twomeals 2015-03-26 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, but they're nice while they last. And I don't know what I'd do with this stuff, anyway.

[Holding up the adult box of adult mysteries.]

[he may be an asshole a lot of the time, but his understanding of these sorts of circumstances allows him to be a little more understanding and empathetic towards his counterpart's circumstances.]

That's usually how it happens... we arrive at different times and find one another later, if our comrades are here with us. [it's a pretty simple truth. and usually when unfamiliar faces start to filter in, he goes on pretty high alert for people who either have never been here, or were here before and went missing. it's a force of habit now, one he doesn't even think twice about it when it happens.

which can't be said for hearing the name "yamazaki," which does further spark souji's curiosity. he's not jumping to any conclusions, of course, since there are plenty of people with that name in japan. still... it's hard not to take notice, when there are other similar circumstances at play.]
There's someone like that, hm? They must be a hassle if they'd go that far.
unionjackoff: (dance before me like a million eyes)

i am super slow/busy ;-; we're at captcha already

[personal profile] unionjackoff 2015-03-26 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I would not be surprised by that, either. [he crosses his arms, then indicates her package] ...Are you going to open it?
unionjackoff: (and it's my mind)

[personal profile] unionjackoff 2015-03-26 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[England sighs through his nose, almost pouting when he thinks of his answer]

Yes, as much as I am loath to admit it. The technology is far more advanced here than it is in my own world. [if only CERES would use it for better things] And speaking of worlds, I've met many people from all sorts of different places, places I could not even have imagined existed.

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-26 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, if associating with you makes me guilty, then lock me up and throw away the key! I don't care what they do to me, I'll never deny our inseparable bond!

O-Of friendship, I mean. [ Don't get carried away, Jaune Arc. ]

But I heard that Yang has been here for a while now. Pyrrha's around as well, but she arrived with me at the same time.
twomeals: ([awkward] 01)

[personal profile] twomeals 2015-03-26 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yue starts at the sudden voice--heightened hearing and all that--before turning to look at the smiling stranger.]

What?

[Confused and slightly out of it!]
masakados: (you're so crazy in the head)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-26 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hang in there you'll become a punfessional one of these days--

Naoki watches her checking around and herself, moving to push himself to his feet and hopping from the sled onto solid ground.]


Yeah... Well, it's at least every other day, if not every day.

[ maybe on some other day hiccup might've made a smart comment about the wingsuit and getting slobber all over that, please astrid--but not today. instead, he returns the hug, tight and close and with some kind of relief that she's tangible, still somewhat in disbelief that she's actually here.

but she is. and now his voice is actually a tad bit shaky, because even if he didn't believe CERES's words about world destruction and everyone and everything he knew being dead, there was still some kind of uncertainty about everyone's fate. because there was drago, and there was all these things they didn't know about, and if they could take him what could they do to everyone else?

he tried not to think about it too much, but there was no avoiding that now. a small exhale. this was astrid. of course she'd be okay, of course. ]


Astrid. You're actually-- I can't believe-- [ he manages, gently. the number of times he's started a sentence in his mind with astrid, or dad. countless. words, words, words. so difficult. he resists stating that it's been months, knowing how confusing that can be.

calmly, haddock: ]


That makes two of us. But me, worrying you again. What a surprise, huh?

[ this is so different, but in some ways, the same. ]

[ weiss moves towards the edge of the sled, but pauses there, as if waiting for something. him? ]

Well. If you've a day to spare... [ she tapers off for a few seconds, sounding almost uncertain...

before she tips her chin up, straightening her back. ]


If you know Yang, then you know what she's training to become. So am I. And it would be prudent to ensure my skills don't dull just because I'm stuck here for the time being.

[ aka weiss talk for "please" ]

By the way, Athena missed you.

[ SORT OF......... it also doesn't help that he's a little intimidating?? because he looks so cool and fuuka is not. cool. at all.

he looks like a superhero that could save the world. (oh wait.)

but hey, he's in high school! this is great! a chance to make friends! she relaxes a little, smile coming back to her face.
]

Oh, what high school did you go to? If you don't mind me asking? I attended Gekkoukan in Iwatodai, I'm a junior.
