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.

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!!!


stagewright: (SPRITE ► fret to the side.)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ ..........NOW SHE WANTS TO SEE WHAT'S IN THE BOX EVEN MORE THAN SHE DID PREVIOUSLY. Gauging how to get a look, tbh. ]

Wellllllllll...I could skip getting one if I got to see what you got! But otherwise, I guess I'll just have to give into overwhelming curiosity! I mean, otherwise I'll be wondering all day, you know? What was in that box...? That box that mysterious glasses girl was looking at...
bozu: (so whos sleeping with the dark lord)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
As long as we don't go on the rides, huh...
Well, if you say so, then it must be true. After all, you've been here longer than myself!

But if things do go wrong, you'll hold my hand, right?

[Yep, apparently not even phased. Maybe.

... And he's apparently not stepping back again either, so Hinata gets to put up with him being right there.]
compossible: (Reluctant Mad Scientist)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[And she helps drag him up, and she's serious as well, because--]

I know. I get it.

[A pause, and a huff, almost amused--]

You are my operator, after all. Pretty sure debriefing you is in the job description.

[That she never read.

Regardless, she'll glance around before shrugging and continuing towards the exit. That's...probably towards the exit, anyway. Someone save her from these singing reindeer.]
particularity: (m ✣ where'd you run to?)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't know. [He'll even make a note even if he's not sure this is important--but hey, who would've thought Tsumiki's embarrassing pose would be important for the first trial but there we go.]

I really don't think they understand what being 'festive' actually is.
impheired: mouse traps and brownies on my porch? (unsure ♚ just wondering. did you put)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-23 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[No shh. Shhh it's makeup. It's totally all just really crazy makeup. Cosplayers are insane like that. LET HIM BELIEVE. Okay no, it's what she says next that kind of makes it hard for him to continue believing. Because what kind of people would be pacified by hearing something like that?]

Most people don't really take well to hearing they've suddenly become data, backup or otherwise. [Trust him, he has first hand experience.] That sort of shit isn't normal, what on earth are you talking about?

[Are you quite sane? He doesn't think you're sane.]
psycholawgy: (hoh hoh hoh hoh hoh hey!)

no phase

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-23 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ that looks hella non-appetising at all. she just winces, after taking a bite off her cotton candy when she sees it. ]

I don't think any atmosphere could ever match your choice of food, to be honest.
bewrightback: (Default)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
He doesn't always make the most sensical decisions, I guess. I can see that.
perfectstrike: (500% done)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-03-23 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
I am looking for him.

[Peko does turn to look at the person boarding more closely then, but no dice. There's no hint of recognition at all.]

Are you new here?
faithfulflame: (Rei Evil? Where?)

Let's go with just Leia since I tagged Han. and funhouse...

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-23 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Rei's eyes dart all around her as she hears the sound of a mirror breaking. Her hand slips into her pocket and holds the transformation crystal tight in her hands. The Death Busters had attacked in a funhouse at least once, so she's never really been at ease with them. Mirrors too, were a bit of a danger.]

I did. There's something going on with the mirrors! Don't look directly at them if you can avoid it.

[That one Youma...]
stagewright: (SPRITE ► arms crossed.)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
I know something it definitely isn't! And it isn't trying to cut people up! Or scaring them with snakes...

[ or the spider thing she will THANKFULLY NOT EXPERIENCE (maybe) ]

...Geeze, this really isn't how I wanted to spend the day! Even after they made us watch all that stuff.
swordboning: (pic#8713748)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-23 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Like somehow seeing potential in a certain idiot, yes. I haven't seen you around so I'm assuming you know him from before you came here.
bozu: (whoops caught someone murdering)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
H-huh?

[Well, if you wanted peace, that's a good way to get it.]

Starved? R-really!?
If that's the case, then you really shouldn't be eating this! It'll spike your blood sugar into next week - your body won't even take in any of the nutrition!

At least let me point you to a stall that's got something better!

[Because you can bet your sweet potatoes he's tried just about everything here.
Which means he might have just hopped to try and grab whatever Gundam's got.]
hamham: and told them I wouldn't get arrested because it's not a real sword. (Indeed. Apparently I called my friends)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-23 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Don't worry Peko, there's no hatred here. Even if he had room to judge, there would not be any hatred there. But you're right he would be giving her some sort of rant if that were the case.

Also the ferris wheel is a snake...?]


Glitches? And how many people are here, exactly? It is not as if there is any form of vacancy sign posted outside the gates of purgatory.

[Oh, she's asking about the Devas? Well being so respectful of them earns her a perfectly polite answer! Though he doesn't really need to, four little heads peering out of the scarf at their mention.]

Of course. There is no force strong enough that could steal them from my grasp.

[You may reassure your friend of a friend that all four are here and accounted for and just as fluffy as ever.]
pixelacious: (HANDS ► chill out bro.)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-23 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ AndrAIa has similar feelings about his potential sanity but she's more friendly and/or polite...though wow he's sort of hitting all the teenage Enzo nostalgia points here. Grumpy one-eyed teenager arguing with her.

It's like she's gone back in time a few hours or even days... ]


Just to be clear: you're saying you haven't always been data? [ If the answer is "no", she supposes he will just give her another ARE YOU CRAZY look, but. ] I'm a game sprite. I've been backed up before. And if they really did back everyone else up...

[ A shrug. ]

It's something they could have done. A User.
bewrightback: (smile)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
We have been friends for a good portion of our lives, yeah... [He smiles.] And he does have a habit of having faith in people, regardless of how smart they are. [Like a certain dim-witted detective.]
axilium: (why yes elcia is my significant other)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-23 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
It was amusing, at least up until the point where you started manhandling me.
kicksilver: (009)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-23 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm, let's get an answer for both. I'll ask for both.

And I'm Mercury. The best newbie in town.
punchesyu: (haha yeahhhh can we not)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-23 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
D-D-Dude, don't you feel that creepy breathing on you?

[He's purposely trying to move himself away from it but it's not going away!]
allfortheclan: (♊ moment of reflection)

[personal profile] allfortheclan 2015-03-23 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ And he had been certain he wouldn't see Soramaru or any of the Kumou brothers again, before he came here. But that's something he leaves unsaid. He's... ambivalent about the suicide attempt; like everything else, he'd failed, and so it was best to move on.

And he has someone he has to try and live for, anyway.

As he demonstrates how to search for and pull up Tenka's device number, he shifts a little closer to Soramaru, in order for him to see. When he does, Soramaru might see the broken fox mask tied to the belt of his Western-style pants. ]


For what it might be worth, I'm glad you're all right, too.
compossible: (You Cannot Change The Future)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Sorry, Elsa, it sure is!! It's enough blood for someone to have died from it...namely Elcia. Elcia was that someone.

But she just nods thoughtfully, choosing to ignore that first question for now.]


Fat men with swords. [...] In red and white suits.

I'm fine though, thank you for asking.
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[personal profile] dereban 2015-03-23 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ While it may be true that Inaba should have kept her curiosity to herself, not being a cat, but. . . ]

Maybe you should check. It might be some sort of coupon or something.

[ She doubts it will be useful, but she will, at the very least, peer over his shoulder to see what it was. ]

particularity: (s ✣ but i might)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Takes a liiiiittle side-step away. Just enough for him to feel less like Teruteru's all way up right there.]

No, er, I don't think you'll need me to hold your hand...

[...he thinks.]
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 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay well "healthy" isn't exactly what he meant but...good to hear that too, he supposes. He's completely unsurprised by that last bit though...poor Peko.]

Just Kuzuryuu is fine. And you are...? [Oops he probably should have asked that first instead of all the questions about Peko. What amazing priorities this kid has.]
pixelacious: (SMILE ► aside.)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-23 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ At least AndrAIa isn't doing that...she just looks mildly entertained. ]

Well, don't let me stop you - though whenever you're done with that, let me know what you find. And maybe give me a name.
axilium: (rexus pls i am very unsure)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-23 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
... That reeks of so many strange implications.
