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.

[She looks forward to it!]

Uh-huh! It was scary at first but now I really like it!

[They have train back home and chains both work well but these things were useful here.]

Some kind of amusement park? I think?

[ Those palpable cracks wouldn't mend anymore; not now that they've gotten this far and he's said some things that he could no longer take back.

Kaneki wholeheartedly wished it had been just Anteiku who had helped him accept his ghoul side, and perhaps if events had happened differently then there was the chance that maybe he wouldn't have become so broken. If Yamori had never existed then perhaps he would still bear his normal haircolor and still be someone who was a little more human than him. His heart - and mind - wouldn't be in so many scattered pieces, waiting and leaning on that line of sanity and insanity with memories he wish he could forget eternally.

His throat feels tight and his head reels a bit, a hand soon coming up to rub absently at the joints on his other hand in silent remembrance. Aogiri. Aogiri. They broke him in more than one way and surely everything in his body language and posture hints at this; the darkness that clouds his pale eyes as he slowly nods in what feels like a delayed answer to Hide's question. ]


...Yeah. A... man named Yamori, particularly. Jason... whatever it is you want to call him.

[ In a sick way, he knows it was also Rize that helped him in that entirely too messed-up and forwards way of hers. Forced him to accept that he was lonely and that he had to be someone who had to hurt others instead of being the one who got hurt.

Made him realize that if he didn't change, then when Aogiri got too strong, they would go after all of his precious people and he would not dare risk something like that. They meant too much to him, after all. ]


Ten days. I experienced things no normal human could have possibly endured, Hide.

[ That's all he's going to say unless his friend ever pressed it, but for now he was going to leave it at that. ]
puerilely: both like gold jewelry and being fabulous okay it works (it was i DIO)

[personal profile] puerilely 2015-03-31 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ At least Shuu knows that much is true. He knows how much humans resent anything that isn't human, how much they fear it and therefore will try just about anything in their power to get rid of it, even if it means mass destruction.

He's seen it, after all.

But his bitterness always manifests as something borderlike psychopathic, and he grins. ]


Hmm.. I don't think there's anything to be feared from the humans here though. They're pretty stupid.

[ And some are actually really nice and Shuu doesn't get it at all but.. you know.. he won't say that part out loud ever. ]

Ohh. I've only been to one festival, before this. And we didn't have money for more than one snack...[Staring off at the food stalls again.....]

...I wonder what all the other ones taste like.

Oh... ((Visible shoulder drop. Only afford one snack?

He glances between Yue and the stall again, hesitating.))
Well... If you want, so you don't go broke, I could help you buy a couple of things. ((He tries to show a little cheer though he feels sort of guilty.)) I wouldn't really mind!

Wow, I should have known you'd throw yourself right into the research, huh? [ That's our Ruby Rose! ]

Think I can come by the mechanic shop sometime? I doubt I'll get much else to do until I figure out our next move...

Friends don't leave friends... [ He smiles in return, because deep down he knows this to be true. It's just good to be reminded sometimes. ]

Anyone ever tell you that you're smart? Because they should. Thank you for that. And, just so you know... we may have just met, but you're not the kind of person I'd leave behind either. Your friends must definitely value you, too.
twomeals: ([happy] 13)

[personal profile] twomeals 2015-04-01 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[He didn't get an allowance, okay? But--Yue honestly looks surprised at the offer.]

Eh? Could you really? That's really nice of you!

What? An 'amusement park'?

[ Still has no idea what any of these modern terms mean, tbh. ]
littlestbaskerville: i'm too young for a tattoo? blasphemy! (✿ we will be who we are.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-04-02 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
It's this place with lots of food and rides? I've never been to one before here! It's supposed to be for fun.

[It's so refreshing to not be the only confused one...]
dimidiampura: (▷ Reading inbetween the lines.)

[personal profile] dimidiampura 2015-04-02 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ What she spoke of was a little confusing but it had his interest for what it was worth. A mysterious world called the Abyss that people could make 'contracts' with, but if humans did it, a clock appeared on their chest which sounded like a bad thing with how she worded it. ]

So... from what I understand, humans can contract with these chains but they get pulled down once the clock turns? So does that mean only specific non-humans can contract with those chains?

[ Kaneki looks a bit thoughtful here, going over the list of things in his head that he did for 'fun'. It wasn't a huge list but he felt he'd be honest at least. ]

I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but I enjoy reading, training, and generally things that keep me moving otherwise. I'd like to learn more things I could do while i'm here, though.
dimidiampura: (▷ Lies a picture of solitary sin.)

[personal profile] dimidiampura 2015-04-02 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
So you believe it will be easier to blend in with them because they won't be as perceptive to catch on to our inhumanity?

[ It's a simplistic question and his head cants to the side slightly; more curious than anything. He didn't believe humans were really a threat, especially now that they weren't at home and the CCG was not present to come after him at all or anything like that. ]
trafalgar: (pic#8957041)

[personal profile] trafalgar 2015-04-02 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
[So much hostility between them, this is already incredible..]

That means you're not native either. [Common interests = common goals, maybe. He's got no reason to believe he's being deceived, so he accepts that as it is and takes his sights elsewhere: glancing over the general area before resettling on his landing cushion.]

Is it always like this?

[While he's not native, he did mention months...]
projections: most of these icons are not shareable (im just going to redo all of these icons)

[personal profile] projections 2015-04-02 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I don't think most of us want to stay here.

We'll have to figure out some plan if we want to leave. Do you have any ideas?
littlestbaskerville: YOU TOO FANG (✿ my sadness diminished to one-half.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-04-02 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[It was a bad thing and she's glad that someone was understanding her for once. It was really nice, since her way of explaining could be vague at times.]


Uh-huh! Baskervilles like me are supposed to be the only one allowed to! But Pandora found a way for humans to contract chains.

[At reading she looks really curious.]

I like books too! I like to let Bandersnatch play but he can get rough too.
dimidiampura: (▷ Concealing intentions within.)

[personal profile] dimidiampura 2015-04-02 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ So some kind of group found a way around it to allow humans to be able to though it wasn't allowed, technically. The more he heard about it, the more interesting it seemed; perhaps it was because his world didn't have anything like this. ]

So... why exactly did they need to find a way to contract chains if they were never meant to?

[ There's a second where he hesitates, wondering briefly about her mention of Bandersnatch. He's read some of the old books that made reference to Alice and the Looking Glass and the Bandersnatch was a fictional beast within it, but this girl spoke of it so perhaps that could only mean one thing. ]

Ah... Bandersnatch must be your chain if I had to guess. Would I be able to see him for myself?
littlestbaskerville: you should've put a ring on it! (Default)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-04-02 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[The amount of information was the tip of the iceberg for her world, there was so much more. Though she isn't aware of a lot of it. However she does look frustrated for a moment.]

Someone told them that we were the bad ones that needed to be stopped! Master Glen isn't bad though.

[She is very stubborn about that. When he catches on her smile grows wider as she bounces on the balls of her feet.]

Yep! I can show him to you!

[In a wisp she summons the chain with a grin.]
