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.

You weren't ready to tell me. At the time, it sounded like you were still getting used to the idea yourself.

[He'd heard everything Kaneki had said to Yoshimura, including the part about not believing he belonged anywhere. It had been so hard for Hide not to open his eyes and cast off his guise of sleep. Not to leap out of the bed and pull his friend into a hug. He'd wanted nothing more than to tell Kaneki that he belonged with him. Always.

But Yoshimura's words had stopped him. And it had been at that time that he knew that it wasn't his help that Kaneki needed. Yoshimura and Anteiku would have been far better allies than Hide while Kaneki was trying to navigate his new found ghoul-ness.]


I'm glad that Yoshimura-san and Anteiku accepted you. It was because of them, wasn't it? That you were able to accept yourself.

[Hide's eyes were filled with sympathy even as he continued to smile. Kaneki's expression was all the answer he needed.]

[Lily continues to look over at the apples, she hasn't had one yet. Though they look sweet and tasty.]

Huh?

[Surprised she watches the other walk over to the apple stand. When he returns she takes the apple, smiling brightly at him.]

Thank you mister!
littlestbaskerville: you should've put a ring on it! (Default)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-30 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Mm-Hm!

[Lily doesn't mind light subjects this man does seem nice to her though at least.]

It is! We have different things too. Some of the technology is fun.
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8649538)

ahaha She could survive it....funny enough.

[Lily calms herself for a moment as she stares at the man's face.]

...you do?

((He frowns, certain he can sense a little of that disappointment, so Ai smiles.)) That doesn't mean you shouldn't by anything. Carnivals are about fun! It's just a matter of moderation. ((YES!!! Determined hand-gavel to the other palm.))

dimidiampura: (▷ To mend what's been lost.)

[personal profile] dimidiampura 2015-03-30 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Whether out of habit or just instinct due to that his throat felt tight and constricted, Kaneki just nodded quietly in assent. He was completely right, as back then, he was trying to get on his feet and accept being a ghoul so it was far from a time when he'd be able to just openly say anything to his closest friend for precisely the reasons Hide had stated just a moment before.

He still felt that in a way; that he was a monster.

So many little habits he'd picked up on since separating from Hide, and the things he's done. Admitting to them straight would take a long time, like the fact that he kind of broke 103 of Touka's brother's bones, lost his mind in Kanou's underground lab back then, killed all those ghouls in Tsukiyama's ghoul restaurant and even having attacked Banjou who was his comrade. Plus you count in all the cannibalization he's done to ghouls in the past before that and he had this whole list of unimaginable things he's done and the kinds of people he's fought against.

Kaneki remained quiet for a moment after that, the cracks in his composure more than evidently visible in how close to breaking down he was getting to. His expression turns almost hurt, like he doesn't know to feel about his friend's words because it was true and yet made him feel a little guilty when he saw that look in Hide's eyes. ]


They... taught me a lot of things and helped me find a place to belong when I thought I didn't have one anymore.

[ Stepping forwards, he then stopped himself because he knew he shouldn't. There was so much more he wanted to say, and yet there was no way he could apologize to Hide for leaving him alone all this time. ]

It wasn't just them, though. Hide, I... wasn't just eased into accepting who... or what I was.

[ By now it seems something comes to the surface and the next words all spill out, unbidden. Mostly on instinct, and after they've been said he freezes up a little. ]

There's more to it... I... never really wanted it to happen that way.
dimidiampura: (▷ Gonna break the world.)

[personal profile] dimidiampura 2015-03-30 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ A moment passes and Kaneki can't help but continue to survey the other quietly, before exhaling a little noise and giving Shuu a bit of a flat look. His attitude bothers him as well, but none of that shows through his otherwise previous look he'd given the other as his arms came to cross over his chest. ]

I fail to see the mystery in it, myself.

[ Ugh this place is still grating on his nerves and getting out would still be a good idea. Mostly distracted by this slightly unnerving conversation, though. ]

Lots of inhuman creatures wear the guise of humans to blend in otherwise they wouldn't last long, would they? Ourselves included.
Edited 2015-03-30 06:19 (UTC)
dimidiampura: (▷ Unable to forget my heart.)

[personal profile] dimidiampura 2015-03-30 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Different things? Like what?

[ Somehow, around kids he holds a softer spot for them and as such, he's going to be kind to her as she seems harmless. He has no reason to mistrust her at all right now. ]

Fun? I haven't seen any of it so far that is, but... I suppose I haven't been here long enough to see much yet.
littlestbaskerville: LOVE LOVE LOVE makes the world go rouuund (✿ now i've found it‚ maybe this is home!)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-30 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
We have chains and stuff! Though Humans can't have them...or they shouldn't!

[She is harmless most of the time though there are times when she is far beyond it. Right now though she like Kaneki and he poses no danger for her.]

Uh-huh! Video games can be really fun!
dimidiampura: (▷ It's always on my mind.)

[personal profile] dimidiampura 2015-03-30 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
Chains? If you don't mind me asking, just what are they and why can't humans have them?

[ Oh. So precious. Her almost childlike innocence was adorable in this instance, even if a part of him sensed something different about her from other humans. ]

I never played a lot of video games myself, so i'll have to take your word for it.
fortheprincess: (i'm on my knees)

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-30 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
Those 'robot' things or whatever, right? [ Useless indeed, those things are. ] So the others...probably came from somewhere different. They're acting like they haven't seen me in decades.

What kinds of 'greater powers'?
fortheprincess: (yona that white gold)

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-30 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
Wow~! Those robots over there are sure interesting.

[ Juuuust gonna play that card and ignore you Ki-ja! He'll take you out in a fight any day not really.

Nope not bringing it up. Instead he'll turn back to look at him, raising an eyebrow. ]
You haven't been able to sense Zeno at all yet? Is the White Snake getting that exhausted that his powers aren't working like they used to?
dimidiampura: (▷ Keeping what remains here.)

[personal profile] dimidiampura 2015-03-30 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ It was perhaps because that Hide knew him better than anyone else, picking up on things that normal people wouldn't, that made it so hard to keep any sort of false mask up around him. Emotions laid out plainly instead of remaining kept hidden, no matter how hard he subconsciously tried to.

He thought he'd turned off this kindness; this innocence of his but being like this now, it came almost naturally and it was a nice feeling. ]


Is it now?

[ Kaneki can't help but sound a touch skeptical, raising an eyebrow as he looked at Hide quietly. He was going to definitely try his best but it didn't mean the whole time he wasn't going to be ready in case Hide's grip slipped and he fell. However, it's the rise of a challenge that causes a look to cross his face that was not unlike a deer in headlights before he genuinely smiled and laughed softly.

He never thought he'd see the day where Hide would be actually wanting to learn something like that from him. ]


Alright. You're on, Hide.

[ Nothing can take down the terror known as Jae-ha tbh.

Hak turns to give the Green Dragon a look; it's a change of pace, but Hak folds his arms across his chest. ]


They mentioned that everyone from home was gone,[ No, he doesn't want to remember that stupid game. Doesn't want to remember the images of everyone being dead at his feet at the hands of Soo-Won. ] but almost everyone's here. They're probably lying, but...we can't be sure.

What I wanted was... hmm... an answer, I guess! There are some things I have yet to discover about myself, and the longer I take to figure it out, the more left behind I feel by my friends...

[ Well, that got a little too serious for a cute stranger he just met. Jaune switches focus back to the other topic! ]

So! You know a lot about this tradition, huh? Have you kissed anyone yet?
