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.

[ Fun house? More like done house. He'd very nearly drawn his sword in there, and he's starting to become convinced he should never go back in any of these rides. What of the completely harmless carnival attractions back home? He was fairly sure there was nothing that locked you in a house with a beast that made you fear for your life. ]

Tell me about it. Is this what all of your festivals are like? If so, I want to book it back home real fast.

[Continue the conversation, of course!! Even though he does have to look pretty far up. Why is everyone tall.]

Well, I guess I should've expected a bunch of bad food at a place like this... but "decent" doesn't make me feel any better, either!

I hope the market at least carries some good ingredients... You sound pretty knowledgeable, though!
Can you tell me what the stores are like, outside of here?
defeets: (» how could you misundersatnd)

[WHAT.

The scream is enough to get him on his guard and then he's pulling his hand back so have fun chomping on thin air, Lily.]


A-Are you alright, little miss?!
axilium: (why yes i do know everything)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-23 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Agreed.

[Belph tilts his head, watching the santabot near AndrAIa (because yeah, nothing's convincing him to get any closer to it), giving it an examining look.]

That hat is rather unfashionable.

[ No Hinata can't you see the important thing is her HAT. She looks really broken up over the hat, actually. It ties her whole look together...! Hinata actually gets a blank look before Trucy looks down at her arm, and then she waves it off - wait ow don't wave that arm... ]

Oh, that. These guys say they don't know what it was, but there were santas! With swords! And they murdered my poor hat!

[ HER POOR HAT. How will Mr. Hat be Mr. Hat if Trucy has no hat, Hinata?! ]

And I guess they tried to murder us, too. [ Yes. An afterthought... ]

[ Her enthusiasm has him smiling a little bit. He's sure to memorize his card -- the Ace of Hearts-- before pushing it back into the ones she's holding out. ]

Well, let's see you work your magic, then.

[THERE ARE WORSE PEOPLE TO BE STUCK WITH THAN GAIUS she will happily admit.]

I am far more concerned on missing significantly more important things, darling. I haven't spotted hide nor hair of my darling Lissa! Nor any of the others, but to think of dear Lissa in particular- [cringes. Okay, Maribelle, get a hold of yourself.]

Do tell me you've made some effort in looking for them, Gaius.

[Whoa.... That looked like a really strong punch. Jae-ha's pretty sure he felt a doki in his chest. What he would give to be punched in the face like that by a woman as lovely as her.....

Still though he's quick to pull a small blade out of the pockets of his jacket and before she can protest, he's immediately cutting the straps holding her back before cutting his own. In comparison to her shouting, he's actually quite calm and immediately swinging his leg free to clear the immediate area around them of Santas with rather superhuman strength, with enough speed to generate a small, lingering gust of wind.

Then he looks to her and raises a brow-]


Then shall we leave?

[Belph, similarly, is starting to get freaked out, and so what does he do?

Make up for it with snark.]


I'm flattered, but this isn't my idea of a good date.

Any card at all?

Pearls?! [ SHRIEKS ARE STILL HAPPENING but yes Trucy's reaching out too. She's trying to find where she knows Pearl was sitting only moments ago beside her, but then the seats do the...

snake thing why this she shrieks some more and stands, bodily dragging Pearls to her feet as well. ]


H-hey, what's going on?!
candycoating: (031)

It's cotton candy, supposedly. That's what the sign said, anyway.

[ He's still working on it, even if it is remarkably easy to eat. He made sure to pick out the biggest roll of candy, after all. He might never get used to the texture, but the flavor is phenomenal. ]

So you've never seen it either?
emotive: (But somebody told me)

[personal profile] emotive 2015-03-23 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Thank... Thank you?

[Ai Thao isn't sure if there's been anyone else who's called her lovely before. It's kind of a huge compliment as far as she knows! When he says that he'd stick with her, something tells Ai that the extra company is needed if the fun house wasn't going to be all that much "fun."]

That's a good idea actually! It's easier to find an exit if we work together!

[ she'd argue that all those months of training had led up to this moment, able to withstand the barrage of attacks coming her way and doing pretty darn well, all things considering... but it would be a lie to say any of team rwby ever anticipated having to go toe to toe with rocketing santas or if the world of rwby has santa or christmas at all...

still, she tries not to be too hassled by the fact that this day just keeps progressively getting worse, because that will just make her more irritated than she already is. and nobody wants weiss schnee that irritated.

at least this guy seems to be willing to take up some slack. when she finishes parrying off a santa's rather impressive backswing, she spares the man a glance. ]


What part of this monstrosity was fun for you?

[ The punch certainly didn't dissipate the illusion, but it does sent Naruto almost hurtling down below to the ground.

Credits on the device... [She grabs her own device after a moment of searching and frowns at it, not connecting it together.] Do I just order and it takes it from here?

[What does she want, though? Her stomach growls again and she grimaces. She wants an actual meal, but junk food will have to do for now.] I don't know. The popcorn looks good, I guess. [Everything looks good for someone who can't afford to be picky right now.]
particularity: (s ✣ we convince ourselves)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Don't wave it... [Are you trying to hurt yourself more?? His tone is laced with a faint exasperation, but he's still concerned more than anything, especially at the description.] I... don't think that these guys are gonna be any help.

[He mutters something indistinguishably to himself, probably something about CERES doing this again and what are they playing at before nope back to it.]

Anyway, shouldn't you focus on your arm for now...? [...] I think your hat can probably be repaired, too.

[Really, he should have been much more wary, but the strangeness of everything has left Yogi confused and not as sharp as he should be right now, despite everything.

The unexpected obstacle of a small child barreling into him makes him let out an oh of surprise before he is gasping and crouching down to hold out a hand towards the girl, unsure of if his assistance will be welcome or not.]


Ah, ahhh, I'm sososo sorry, I didn't see you there-- are you hurt? Do you need help?
impheired: sour candy? who the fuck says "i'm gonna eat this sugary sweet coated in pain salt and i'm gonna fucking like it." (disgust ♚ who the fuck genuinely enjoys)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-23 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Getting off the bus:
[Could this day get any fucking worse? Kuzuryuu would like to think it can't, but his luck has always proven otherwise so it probably will. But really, to go from all that bullshit back home, to ViVid, to a goddamn powerpoint of all things, to this? A theme park? Somebody out there has it out for him, he's sure of it. So when he gets off the bus, it's with a look of disgust on his face. One that all but screams "oh hell no."]

[And then he tries to immediately turn around and leave, only to be stopped by one of the Snowtron 5000s.]


Fuck off, scrapheap! [Okay but consider this: hugs. Hugs are what it was built for and clearly he's in dire need of them.] What? No! No, don't you fucking touch me! [Did he just pull a knife out to try and threaten a robot, he sure did. Because that's totally going to get a mechanical being to respect his personal bubble.]

Phase III
[Maybe if he rides a ride, the stupid robots will let him leave? Maybe that's the trick. And as much as he hates theme parks, roller coasters are at least tolerable. Even Monokuma's stupid theme park hadn't managed to ruin those for him. (now funhouses, on the other hand...) So, somewhat begrudgingly, he gets on the ride. He even manages to enjoy himself a little bit at first, in spite of himself. Then the rollercoaster stops and he suddenly regrets his choice in ride quite a bit. Because this is just evoking all kinds of traumatic flashbacks that he didn't need today.]

[By the time he gets off the ride, wiping blood off his left cheek from a shallow cut sustained from ducking a hair too slow. A sane person would probably start looking for a band-aid after that but apparently this kid is too badass for that.]


Th-the fuck are they trying to pull with something like that!? [Hey you, yeah, you, you were on the ride with him, right? Want to commiserate about it?]

Make your own adventure:
[After the great rollercoaster debacle, Kuzuryuu figures it's probably best to avoid the rides. He can be found either walking around, attempting to leave and probably being stopped by robots again, or, most likely, sitting on a bench somewhere with an offended scowl. Feel free to bug him, maybe try and drag him on one of the rides? Who knows.]

[ Her father isn't huge on the rides...he's probably hanging around with refreshments still. Trucy, however, will wave cheerfully. She's never really been the sort of girl to hold a grudge, and Blackquill is Important to Athena, so it's...nice that he's here?? Trucy supposes? He wasn't that bad a guy, after all, even if he'd totally prosecuted her once, sort of. She will just go with her default good cheer. ]

Prosecutor Blackquill! Daddy is, too. He doesn't really like this sort of ride, though, so he's waiting outside.

[ She bounces on her feet, clearly enthused even though she really shouldn't be after the ferris wheel... ]

It's sort of fun, right?! What a way to celebrate an arrival!
emotive: (The drop of a pin)

[He has no idea how happy she is about not having to explain what he just received. So, so happy.

Ai lets out a nervous chuckle and shakes her head.
]

It's not supposed to be! But it looks like it was a prank of some sort. I'm sorry you had to receive such a questionable gift.
stagewright: (SPRITE ► tee hee!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Of course! It wouldn't be fair to leave some of them out of the picking, you know?

[ It'd be rude...! So any card at all as usual, Daddy. Even in weirdosville. ]

[ cheeky...

weiss, of course, handles it all with just as much sophistication. ]


You should probably be happy you've gotten this close to a semblance of one.

[ a sniff, and she's no longer clinging. but she doesn't exactly scoot away, either. ]

It doesn't seem likely to ever happen again.

[ yes, good, let's all just ignore our growing fear by sippin' on that haterade. ]

[Admittedly Natalia's not entirely sure what to make of everything herself - she's never been to a carnival quite like this before! It's all so.... bright and sparkly. Even the festivals of Kimlasca aren't nearly so.... in your face, for a lack of a better phrase.

Still though, overhearing someone complaining about this place being twisted or people getting hurt, she gets concerned. So she turns to Yogi and upon seeing his tussled state, approaches with a concerned tilt of her head.]


Excuse me sir, what happened? Are you hurt....? If you would allow me to see your injuries, I'm a trained healer....
candycoating: (014)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-23 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
I've been looking around, but I haven't spotted any of them. None on that bus thing, and none around here. You're the first person I've seen from home. Everyone else looks... too strange to be from Ylisse or anywhere else.

[ By strange, he means how differently they dress, the weird 'robot' stuff. If he was pulled to a world that was somewhat similar to home, he might be adapting better, but the difference here was as great as night and day, and he felt like he'd been left in the dark. ]
