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 ❅
YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT THE SANTASTICAL FOREST OF CHRISTMAS WONDERS ❅
PLEASE ENJOY ALL THE RIDES CEO JULIUS VINCERE HAS HAND-PICKED FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT ❅
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.

Welcome to CEREALIA's latest intro post For your convenience, we have compiled a post detailing what's going on right here and feel free to consult the FAQ if needed. Please leave any lingering questions in the OOC post, and we'll answer them as soon as we can. OVERFLOW IS HERE!!!

[Well damn. Sousei being speechless was a first. At least he says something even if it wasn't entirely calm inducing. Yeah, this is definitely bad.]

Right.

[Except for the part where his swords are broken and he doesn't have a bokken on him. Hand to hand it is! Though he still isn't the best at that either, though he's better than he was a year ago. He can take down small fry and most of only slightly better talent than his own with relative ease.]

[personal profile] journaler 2015-03-23 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[--try to go back the way we came?

Except the lights go out, and as lost and directionless as they were before, it's only worse now.

She jumps, gasping in breath, and it feels like her heart's stopped.]

[Elsa doesn't know anything about ferris wheels or anything of the like. And she's pretty sure it's a bad idea getting on one, but here she is anyway. She's sitting straight, hands folded in her hands, trying to convince herself that this is just fine.

Though looking over at the other person in this odd little car, her uncertainty over what she's getting herself into melts away in favor of concern.]


Excuse me? [She leans just a little.] Are you all right?

[He's just arrived, right? It's overwhelming. She knows that.]
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[personal profile] dereban 2015-03-23 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
It wouldn't be better!

[ She figures that she's being misunderstood, but just imagining that seems rather painful.. ]

And I don't mean that kind of penetration, I mean the... nrgggh. [ Is there an easy way to say this? Probably not. ] S- Sexual kind of penetration.

[ ... At least she managed to say it? She can feel her face heating up as she glances away, hoping that will send the right (debatable, honestly) message. ]
psycholawgy: (something stinks!)

[ YOU NEVER GOT IN THE CAR SO YOU CAN'T DO IT ANYWAY!!! ]

Do it as a Christmas present for me, pleeaaaase?

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Awww. But Daddy wouldn't go, either! C'mon, Mr. Blackquill, you can be my chaperone!

[ You know, in case...well, she's generally fairly fine on her own (she's been kidnapped less than certain other assistants?) but... ]

Please? Pretty, pretty please?
shacklebreaker: (arms crossed)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-23 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
A convenient excuse to shift blame, if naught else. If the robots here are truly so faulty, they are not fit to bear weapons or hold such roles and ought to be removed.

[Everything he's learned so far suggests that's not about to happen, though.]
particularity: (m ✣ it's okay if it's only inside a drea)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[But tbh no amount of world experience could really prepare him for Trucy Wright-- But here Hinata is with his blank face just... looking between her and Mr. Hat. He is definitely being reminded of some friends right now.

Aaaand, a girl he's only just met is telling him he needs a smile or two... He'll tie up the bandage now (nice and neat) before closing up his kit and pocketing it.]


Do I really look like that...?

[She didn't know terribly much about warding away apparitions, as she had little experience with them. Integra did, however, recall a book she had read in her occult research, and wasn't about to submit.

It took hardly any effort to rise back to her feet, and sheath her blade, choosing to remove the cross from her cravat instead.]


Regna terrae, cantata Deo, psallite Cernunnos, Regna terrae, cantata Dea psallite Aradia. caeli Deus, Deus terrae, Humiliter majestati gloriae tuae supplicamus. Ut ab omni infernalium spirituum potestate, Laqueo, and deceptione nequitia, Omnis fallaciae, libera nos, dominates...

[She continues her incantation until the spirits fade. It's not long until she seeks out Phoenix, soon stumbling upon his body in the dark.]

Can you walk?

[She asks, outstretching her hand to him.]
stagewright: (SPRITE ► c'mon you loser!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ wow you liar ]

Daddy! I know for a fact that's your card!!
faithfulflame: (Rei Noticing)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-23 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Excited for what, though? Rei thought darkly to herself as she looked at the stranger who's sense screamed optimism and sunshine. Apparently she hadn't quite got the memo that their worlds were in danger.

Still, no point in being rude, so she feigns a smile.]


I guess. I'm not sure what to make of all this, honestly. A Christmas carnival?
carptricks: (is never as it seems)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-23 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[WHAT A FIRST IMPRESSION]

[he holds up both of his hands, palms facing forward, as soon as she starts panicking]


E-easy, easy! I never said it was! But we can't just leave her like that, look--

[it's a small carriage, but he crouches next to the passed out old woman and gently moves her until she's lying on her back. it's a good thing he knows first aid]
bozu: (Heat grill to medium-high)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
[That's... actually pretty comforting to hear, after everything. That Hinata would willingly sit and answer his questions, even if they could end up being stupid or just sad.

... But y'know what, it's time to stop thinking about all of that entirely. That's how he works, after all!!]


Well... you're probably right. I did want to try the funhouse to maybe see if there were any low mirrors for easy peeking, but none of those screams I heard were the fun kind.
If it's that scary, it should be called a haunted house, not a funhouse!
sunshied: (6)

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-23 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Somehow, he distantly recalled Shirasu telling him the exact same thing - that Chuutaro wasn't there. It felt like a fuzzy memory tucked neatly in the back of his mind, but he pushes it aside for now and accepts the information. He's thankful that he doesn't move too close to him but at the same time he knows he'll need to move closer himself if he's to see the how the device operates.]

Oh- right. I do! I don't know if it got broken when I fell or not but... I guess I'll find out.

[He inches closer to the ninja, pulling out his own device.]

Thank you.

[For helping him, for trying not to treat him like a stranger despite everything. He tries to relax a little once he's moved closer to Shirasu in order to see what he is doing. It takes a bit more effort than he would like.]
sunshade: (➺ save the mind)

i I MISREAD IT

[personal profile] sunshade 2015-03-23 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Patchouli, unlike Yuyuko, actually has some class when it comes to recognizing faces that may not recognize her. She doesn't even realize the person she's boarded with, of everyone in this damn colony, is another face from that park. Thusly, she makes her reaction more muted than normal. Her eyes flash over the ID, briefly widening. ]

You're looking for this individual? Or testing an optical illusion? [ 'wow can you see it??? i want to make sure it's real!!' sounds silly but tbh after murderpark nothing in the realm of unreality is too silly to her ]
Edited 2015-03-23 03:08 (UTC)
impheired: at my worst, then leave because i don't have a best. i'm always awful. (talk ♚ if you can't handle me)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-23 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know. It's fine, I've had worse.

[He just didn't think it was worth doing anything about except putting a little spit on it? Pretend you're surprised...]

Whatever you do, don't go on the rollercoaster. [It...fights back.] Actually, you're probably better off not going on anything. So the powerpoint is normal, but this part isn't? What about that thing before the powerpoint? ViVa? ViVe? Whatever the fuck it was, I wasn't really paying attention to the name. That apocalyptic looking virtual reality bullshit with Enoshima at the end.

[Of course the final boss was Enoshima for him. Of course.]

Well, I'm pretty good at reading an audience - [ and complimenting herself... ] and I'd say so! It's not a bad thing. You remind me a little bit of Polly.

[ A little tightly wound. It's not like Trucy thinks that's horrible, just...well, she does magic because she wants to make people smile. What's the point of being a magician if you can't get people to unwind at least a little bit? ]

I mean, the powerpoints were pretty, uh, dire...but I don't think that's any reason not to look on the bright side of things!

[ She's...not sure what the bright side is but SURELY IT EXISTS. ]
shivered: (sad smile)

A!

[personal profile] shivered 2015-03-23 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Elsa overhears that question as she's standing and surveying the park herself. She offers a faintly apologetic smile in the other girls' direction, shaking her head.]

For some reason, appropriate isn't really a concern they seem to have around here very often.

[It's distressing at times. To say the least.]
deontology: (LXXVI.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-23 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Batman... he is indeed the night...

But for now, he nods in response to her greeting, and--then the present hits the ground. Ah..... ah yes. That sounds...about the same as usual. The trash can attacks with great fervor, and Sousei just stares at it for a moment. The name is so mangled it doesn't even sound like his own for a moment.]


No.

[Immediate...and ice cold... but then again, it is also a trash can. Sousei lifts a foot to shove it back towards where it came from.]

Go return to your place and serve your purpose.

[Sousei is taking none of this shit right now.]
fortheprincess: (i can do anything you like)

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-23 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ He'd be glad to, but not to fulfill your masochistic desires, Droopy Eyes. ]

That means the Princess and Yoon are probably here, too. [ He's too stressed to be bothered by the 'darling'; but it bothers him greatly that they haven't caught sight of either one of them yet. ]

We have to find them.
punches: (Default)

[personal profile] punches 2015-03-23 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Can you explain any of this to me? [ WHAT IS CHRISTMAS?? ]

They just shoved us out right away and took us to this place.
stagewright: (SPRITE ► arms crossed.)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not totally sure where I'm walking back to...I mean, they kinda just put us on the bus and sent us here, but I don't think we're going straight back to power-point land.

[ A slight pause as Trucy continues to shuffle her cards, frowning a little. ]

Or, ummmmmm, I really hope not? Subject matter aside, it was kinda dull.
faithfulflame: (Rei Amused)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-23 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Rei smiles extremely genuinely at the stranger. Perhaps more than usual, but she appreciates a good curmudgeon as much as the next person. Probably moreso when they agree with her.]

Wouldn't that be the most lovely thing. All these chintzy, stupid tunes, on repeat...
compossible: (You Can't Fight Fate)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[...Ooph. He's being serious.

Elcia sighs, shaking her head.]


Take my hand already. I don't really feel like having this conversation like this.

[In a funhouse with Belph on the ground and singing reindeer.... no thanks.]
shacklebreaker: (sweatdrop)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-23 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, she has him there. There's no way he can refuse that without feeling guilty.]

... Fine. But only if you switch off the waterworks.
