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 ❅
COME GIVE SNOWTRON 5000 A HUG ❅
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.

[Judging, a little bit. Okay, quite a bit.]

If you insist. I can't speak for his character either way.
kicksilver: (and i got just the one)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-23 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ SHE IS INDEED, THE LUCKIEST. ]

Some kind of toy. [ But he just shrugs his shoulders. Hey, at least he didn't lie about it like he did earlier to some guy. He told him it was a type of candy that you put in your mouth. ] I don't really need it, so I figured, hey. I should give it to someone else who might want it.
faithfulflame: (Rei staring into space)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-23 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Her own eyes narrow as he answers her. He's right, it wouldn't make sense. This was an amusement park, and places like this raked in a lot of money in her experience. So it should have backups.]

But...couldn't power to this part of the...uh...colony? be cut?

[They had said colony, right?]
bozu: (Heat grill to medium-high)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh - well, at that he'll join her; leaning against the opposite window to see if he can spot anyone in particular.

... It takes him a moment to actually realize who she decided to mention, though.]


... He's only a little taller than me, though.
Surely, the other people would be enough to hide him in crowds like this....

[She glances around thoughtfully, considering.]

The scenery isn't too bad. I wouldn't mind the trees and the lights sticking around.

[she probably means that seriously.]

I could do without the pushy robots though.

[ don't do a rapunzel song number on her now, dad ]

They could've just said so! Some of the people were trying to fight the robots, y'know. [ Trucy obviously opted not to do that because she only has so many throwing knives... ]
axilium: (i am a little shit part 3)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-23 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Glad you understand our working relationship.

[The singing reindeer are starting to drive him a little crazy too, so he's more than happy to continue towards the exit as well, even if he winces a little.

... Though a part of him is hesitant—needless to say, he has a bad feeling about whatever it is that Elcia has to tell him.]
hamham: End of story. (Never go drinking with anime club.)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-23 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Exactly. So he's a little bitter about "fun" houses.]

I see...I have yet to hear any positive reviews of this park so far. Would this be one such example?

[Sorry if he is not the warmest person around. He's not exactly the friendliest guy to begin with in the best of times, and this isn't anywhere close to the best of times. Top that off with the fact that your unpredictability and behavior just does not win you any points well...]
carptricks: (and set this ballroom aglow)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-23 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
["Wright Anything Agency?"]

Can't say I've heard of it, though considering our circumstances. . . [that's probably not too surprising]

[he drops his feet to the floor and turns to face Trucy completely, cupping his hands together as he does so. he counts to three underneath his breath and then gives both of his hands a little flick. he separates them, only to reveal a dried rose seated in the center of his palm. WHERE DID THAT FLOWER COME FROM?]


Kaito Kuroba, fellow "mind reader," at your service~

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[It's literally the least appetizing thing.]

I wasn't even warned about the candy cane - I just ordered a plain corndog.
What a waste of ingredients!

[It's so sad... The poor little food, ruined before it even got a chance to be eaten...

Oh, well. It's getting unceremoniously chucked into the trashcan - it's well past saving, after all.]


... Is the cotton candy worth trying, at least? You seem to be enjoying it...
carptricks: (were inside a saltwater room)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-23 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[he lets out an amused snort and returns to shuffling]

Nothing to do but to take the confusion and run with it until it makes sense, yeah?

[ As the lights came on, the first priority happened to be trying to see just what had been attacking everyone so naturally he didn't pay attention to the fallen person he was protecting or that he probably looked quite dangerous and very much inhuman as he was now.

Kaneki's expression melted into a frown upon not finding a damn thing nearby but just the ridiculous singing reindeer and everything as pristine as it was without a remote sign of danger whatsoever. He drew his hand back just in time to hear a voice speaking his name, and while such a thing would not warrant his attention, it was who spoke his name which stopped all of Kaneki's thoughts short completely because after his arrival here he especially never thought he'd hear from this particular person ever again.

He still vaguely remembered the smile; the look on the blond's face when he'd spoken to him in that dark sewer with his head spinning rampantly, pretty sure he was just imagining him there, just like he wanted this to be a dream.

An awful, very realistic dream that left a feeling like ice-water being dumped over him when he turned his gaze downward and saw Hide looking at him with that look on his face. His best friend watching him with his inhuman kagune and kakugan on full display; seeing him as a ghoul for the first real time and to Kaneki it was truly and honestly terrifying. At this realization he backed off from his defensive position as if he'd been burned, his kakugan and kagune dissipating but the damage was done. ]


...Hide... I...

[ Please don't hate me. Don't call me a monster. ]

I was... I can explain...
niceguypose: (talking)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-03-23 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[And now he smiles confidently.]

My name... is Rock Lee! [He goes into a pose.]

I am Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast!
axilium: (why yes elcia is my significant other)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-23 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'm always full of great ideas. And besides, a video game wouldn't come with all the burdens and pitfalls that come with being an actual superhero, right? After all, those guys never seem to have easy lives.

[ that is certainly way better than shooting herself in the head. fuuka's almost envious. that aside, she's mostly surprised at the green glow and the warmth, watching her cuts close by themselves. ]

Wow... that's amazing... [ her voice is quiet, awed, and she wonders if this is similar to what it's like being healed in the dark hour. it's a fleeting thought, however, and she gives leia a grateful smile when the other girl opens her eyes. ]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
scaryintuition: (smile)

why o'clock

[personal profile] scaryintuition 2015-03-23 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Hide is just wandering by, minding his own business, when he hears a man nearby scream. He turns to look, just catching said man as he slams the lid down on the gift box. He reads panic in the man's posture. Panic and possible embarrassment? In any case, Hide is now curious to see what's in the box.]

Did Santa Bot not give you what you asked for?

POLLY! [ Well, he has about...five seconds to get himself to be as fine as possible, because Trucy is bouncing over the instant she sees him to throw her arms around him. Please put up with the gratuitous affection, she was possibly on another bus or just hadn't seen him until now and she had been a little concerned.

She's notably missing her top hat, which may or may not have died an honorable death (until she can patch it up, anyway) earlier that day. The hug is at least brief and then she's - okay wow he's green ]


Wow, you look terrible! [ soften the blow a little more there maybe trucy... ]
ukakus: ( official art: manga ) (072)

ii!

[personal profile] ukakus 2015-03-23 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
[That was... something. Something awful and kind of horrific, and Touka's pretty frustrated at herself for not being able to stop it before she was hurled to the ground twice. It makes her feel weak, and weakness—well. It's not something that bodes well for a ghoul. It's a dog eat dog world, after all. You don't get to survive if you're weak when you're cornered.

Which is why it's not surprising that she scrambles to her feet as the lights come back on, and surveys her surroundings with a wary eye to make sure whatever that was isn't coming back. When she's sure nothing else is going to jump at her, counting those stupid annoying reindeer, she all but starts sprinting out of this dump.

And totally almost bumps into this weird as hell dude, stopping herself only an inch away from him. NICE SAVE. But not quite nice, because she's rubbing her temples and groaning, still a little hurt from being tossed around. Doesn't get a good look at his face yet, either, momentarily distracted by his hand.]


Shit. Sorry, I— [Yeaaahhhhh. This is where she glances up at his face, and stops. Like. Uh. Her eyes are seeing, but her brain isn't quite computing.]

...Kaneki?

[Un...sure... But even if the face could be a mix-up, there aren't many one-eyed ghouls... Or those who apparently suck at control their stupid kakugan. Huh.]
rubyinferno: (◎ i love yooouuuu)

[In all fairness this wasn't any scarier than that haunted house had been at least. Nothing has really fazed her in the way of making her afraid--as per usual, really--but it was still a whole lot of unpleasantness. And what the heck was Christmas anyway? It seemed an awful lot like the Halloween holiday a few months back... except with more reindeer and snowmen and less cute werewolf puppies.

But everything was fun to look at as always. And then she sees a familiar face and stops in her tracks. Was that Hubert? ... Was that Hubert sitting on a robots lap?

Well, who cares about that, really. She's just excited to see him. It sure had been awhile since she saw her friends. She moses right up to him as he's walking away, gifts in arms, and pretty much throws herself at him. Well, she's giving him a hug but it's pretty forceful. Hope you like hugs, Hubert.]


Hu! Heeey! Oh my gosh it's great to see you! I knew you'd get here eventually!
axilium: (i am a little shit part 2)

[Aw, c'mon Hinata - it's just a little hand holding!!]

But what if something terrifying happens, and we need to run somewhere safe?
You wouldn't want me to get lost in these crowds, would you?

Or, what if we wanted to go somewhere that's more populated? Imagine getting separated somewhere like that!
You'd definitely need to hold my hand then!

[It sure is great having your friends back, eh, Hinata?]
faithfulflame: (Rei Glare)

Bags of...

[Ugh...okay...she just sighs. That was annoying. But she's not tossing the package just yet. She'd find some use for it, even if it was underwear.]

So this has all happened before? What was it last time? Murderous lawn gnomes? Or kappa appearing from toilets?
niceguypose: (talking)

Yes, Miss! I will report all of those things back to you!

[personal profile] remainingtwin 2015-03-23 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing. [Oops that sounded kind of rude and she winces. With no idea how to salvage that she just twists her fingers together and shrugs.]

There's the whole weird alien thing? And... everything else. [Planets being destroyed?? Please. She's been too shell-shocked to really do anything but nod along and accept it, as long as she doesn't think too much about it then sure why not. Aliens and stuff. Okay.]
