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.

[Sadly, Marco is unhelpful.]

[Continued here! Sorry for the delay!]

These are all things that can take you places, rather than having to walk on foot?

[ It's a good thing Yoon is precious because he won't go on much further. Hak's generally nicer to him--he's still a kid, after all--but it's funny to see how Yoon reacts when he drops the know-it-all act.

He frowns again when he thinks about the time gap, though. Hak recalls hearing something about time discrepancies, after all. ]


What's the last thing you remember happening back home?

[That's a trait of Athena's Blackquill is all too familiar with...]

Indeed. Giving up is out of the question; I would not like to stay in this forsaken city forever.

They are creatures of the abyss! You make contracts with them. Humans can do it because a clock appears on their chest and then it will turn and they are pulled down.

[With a good deal different she does looks really happy to talk about chains.]

I had never seen one before here! What do you do for fun?
littlestbaskerville: and i want sweets leT'S GET SOME SWEETS (✿ you will dance with me‚ yeah!)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-30 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[She will try!]

Yeah! Or without a carriage or horses. They move and go places while you just sit in them!

Moderation... [He makes a vague attempt at copying that hand-gavel motion, curiously.]

Um, have you been to a lot of carnivals?
ruby_roses: <user name=jjabberboxy> (Ruby - Thinking)

[personal profile] ruby_roses 2015-03-30 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Yang and I have been here a couple months now, and Blake got here a little bit after us.

[As for the second question, she just shrugs some.]

Mainly I've been working at the mechanic's shop, trying to learn how technology here works without Dust.
scaryintuition: (what)

[personal profile] scaryintuition 2015-03-30 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[He grins.]

You're welcome...uh...What's your name?

[Hide bites into the candy apple a little more carefully, knowing how the caramel could sometimes stick to his teeth.

Suddenly, his head shoots up and be begins to intently sniff at the air. Nothing strange here.]


I smell something really good coming from over there!

[And, well, he grabs Lily by the arm, clearly intent to drag her along.]
scaryintuition: (pic#8950094)

[personal profile] scaryintuition 2015-03-30 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hurting Kaneki hadn't been Hide's intention. Nor had making him feel guilty. He was simply tried of trying to piece things together based on assumptions and what he knew about his friend. Now that he had Kaneki before him, he wanted to know if he had made the correct assumptions. It was important to him to understand what his friend had been thinking all of this time. And until he actually admitted them to Hide, all they would be are his assumptions, no matter how well he could read his friend.

Kaneki was like a familiar book in some ways. You knew what the story was about, plot twists and all, and the words were familiar. But occasionally you would stumble across a passage that wasn't worded the way you remembered. Or you remembered a detail a little bit differently than it happened.

That was the feeling Hide got standing across from Kaneki, with his white hair and different demeanor. Kaneki was familiar but being turned into a half-ghoul had made him a little different from the friend Hide remembered.]


That way? Kaneki...what are you talking about?

[He knew that Anteiku had helped Kaneki, of course they had. But to learn that they hadn't been the only ways left Hide wondering who else his friend meant. Who else would have known about Kaneki's condition?

Hide freezes as realization comes rushing in. When Kaneki had been missing, he'd been held by that Aogiri group, hadn't he? He'd been missing for weeks before Hide had been able to pass his information off to the CCG.]


It was Aogiri, wasn't it?

[His face was stricken. He'd never even thought to consider what might have happened during that time.]
bellpendant: (something to believe in)

[personal profile] bellpendant 2015-03-30 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Not a lot! Just what I've seen on TV. And o...of course not...

[The sudden question catches Rhyme off-guard and she blushes furiously with embarrassment. Quickly, she tries to turn the conversation back to the other boy.]

An answer though? Is that really something you'll find in a present? [Rhyme's blush fades a little as she smiles at him encouragingly.] Friends don't leave friends behind. I'm a lot less strong than mine too, but if I keep that in mind I never feel left out. You shouldn't either.
scaryintuition: (happy)

[personal profile] scaryintuition 2015-03-30 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course it's different. You don't have to worry about anyone trying to knock you over while you're climbing, for one!

[It seemed so long ago, the last time he'd seem Kaneki smile and laugh like that. This was certainly the first time he had seen them since they had been reunited early that day. It made Hide's stomach clench to think that perhaps Kaneki hadn't had a good enough reason to smile before now.

But he also felt such a relief that he could still make Kaneki smile and laugh. It was important to him that things like that never changed.]


Let's go! [With that he began sprinting towards the Ferris Wheel.]
littlestbaskerville: YAN YAN YAN (✿ i will pull your tangles out.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-31 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Lily, you?

[Nibbling on her apple she looks at him curious about what his name might be. Even as he starts to sniff the air she blinks before she feels herself tugged along with him.]

Where are we going now?

Ah.. not quite like this one, but similar! We have lots of festivals back home that I like to go to often.

[ ONE DAY, LITTLE ONE ]

Eh? That's amazing.

[ Seriously. How convenient that would be back at home... ]

Where's this thing taking us, then? Some kind of park?
