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 ❅

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.

You're going to jinx it. [But she leans away from the window with a frown.] It is taking too long... [That's said more to herself than to Rei and she sighs.]

Hopefully they'll fix it soon. Figures after all of that weird stuff about aliens and codes and whatnot something like this would happen.

[ fuuka makes a sort of squeak instead when the lights go out, and while she's also grateful for naoki's source of light, it's still pretty surprising. ]

Y-You're... glowing?

[ there's another howl though and fuuka seems to snap out of it, gripping for her evoker beneath her clothes. ]

Um, hold on, I'll try and find the way out.

[ hopefully before the howling thing gets to them. ]

I know. They could have saved us a lot of hassle. Unless they thought we wouldn't believe until we saw it... or...

...Maybe there just isn't logic involved?

[what are you talking about, that's totally romantic

That's Teruteru: 1, this weird park: 0!! Which means he's holding his hand out for her to take, of course.]


Let's go, then! We don't want to wait for the line to get too long, do we?

Hnnnrk!

[ — is the strangled noise he makes in the pitch black darkness when she grabs him.

Rather than say hello to her, as a sane person might, or "Empress!" as he might have done, he decided instead to mask his presence hypnotically and follow her around. Old habits die hard.

Besides, he has exactly one nice memory of an amusement park, and yes okay he was reminiscing about how cute she was when she was ten (and, lbr, how cold). She'd said she didn't want to touch him then, and so it's probably some sort of poetic justice that she just grabbed him now.

Anyway HE CAN EXPLAIN why he sneaked into a ferris wheel car with her, just... give him a minute. In the meantime, he's going to block her psychometry as well as he can, in the hopes that she won't figure out who he is.

Urk. ]

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[NODDING ALONG...]

Yeah, they've got an awful sense of timing, too.

[Sigh.] Even in the city they have less dangerous, actually fun things to do. When we get out of here... well, get some rest first, but then you can probably have a look around. [But right here he's also oozing BE CAREFUL THOUGH vibes.]

You make it sound so complicated... what's not to get?

[But it's... somehow, that was the statement that got to her a little. She can feel the pang in her heart, when she thinks about how... unfair it is that she wasn't going to see Belph again. She understands their relationship perfectly, she thinks, and yet...

There's something a little softer about her words and her expression, because it really is good to see him again.]

[ you're right traumatic christmas park is totally romantic!! trucy gives his hand a curious look but...okay???? sure???? she will take the hand for now, why not. he seems nice enough. ]

Oh, yeah! The lines are the wooooooorst part of the park. Though it's fun to play charades while you wait, I guess! Or do tricks. [ magic tricks ]

They're just wasting your time so don't mind them.

Do you have any other questions you need to to ask? I might be able to help you.

[Unfortunately for him the girl that comes barreling into the ferris wheel car after him loves heights! Or at least doesn't mind them. She's also easily excitable and not at all very in touch with the mood or emotions of the other.]

Oh my gosh look at this thing! It's amazing! [She's pressing her face to the window and peering out. The doors shut behind him and seal his fate.]

We're going to go up so high! I saw it from the outside and everything and it's super tall. Isn't that great? We're gonna be able to see the whole park!

[It's so great...

Yes... So great.]


T-that's... Well, we don't know if anything like that will happen yet, so we don't need to worry about that right now. And it's not so busy we'll lose track of each other here.

[Stop wanting to hold his hand so much!! He's actually tucking them in his pockets right now.]

[ SHE HAS NO IDEA WHERE IT CAME FROM yeah no but it's great to see another magician, and her grin becomes decidedly more casual. Though no less genuine. ]

Is that so! It's nice to meet you, Kaito! If you're ever interested in work...the talent branch is definitely hiring! [ since she is literally the only member since her dad went back to law. god, dad, your priorities! ] Though I guess we all have "jobs" here. Or job offers! Haha, that's so weird to think about.

[Souji's eyes widen slightly at this evidence of spontaneous textile combustion - while he has seen some few things that do not belong to the world of humans, they have not really been quite as on-the-nose as that.

But then again, everything in this place seems halfway magical to him.

He nods, rubbing away some of the blood still clinging to his lips.]


I did. They got me a lot of funny-tasting pills and made me drink all kinds of disgusting things and stuck a lot of needles in me. [He shrugs a pair of rather skinny shoulders.] This way, I'm not supposed to get worse, and no one else will get sick. [A pause, and then he really has to ask:] Was that some sort of spiritual power, what you just did?
bozu: (And jalapeños onto skewers)

[TERUTERU: 2 THIS IS A MAJOR VICTORY

But yes, keeping composure and walking towards the ferris wheel! While holding hands! With a girl!!!]


Well... even playing games in a line can get boring after a while, don't you think?
It's more fun to get on the moment you get the chance!

Though, I wouldn't mind seeing a few magic tricks from the Magician Extraordinaire.
pixelacious: (WELL ► that sure is a thing yes.)

...I don't think I'm processing at a different speed than usual, so we have to be having a language mix up. One of those "other world" problems?

[ She hadn't specifically run into anything quite so big as this to this point...which is a bit silly. ]

By "second", do you mean...just a little while ago? Like I meant by nanos?
eggcream: (①④ Her!)

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-23 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
phase i.

[So..Ferris wheels. Those are things. And though he's completely confused about the situation and finds this entire carnival kind of annoying, he has to ride at least one of the rides. It'd just be wrong if he didn't! And the other ones are too speedy and furious for his liking (not even going to look in that Fun House's direction, tbh), and with the ferris wheel being slow and safe, he can get a good look around the park and maybe that'd be helpful somehow.

So, he'd admittedly excitedly hurry to get onto the wheel, with a big grin on his face, and the ride is fine for the most part. But somewhere down the line, loud, terrified (but most definitely from a guy) screaming can be heard and as he comes off it after a fun trip around, that smile is gone and he looks more like he's going to piss himself than anything.

He should have known that amusement parks and carnivals were never to be trusted...]


extra i.

[Well after that scarring experience, Souda stumbles upon a Snowbot all by it's lonesome, and he'd been pretty curious about them since he got to this carnival but he couldn't do anything with being ushered around everywhere! But now that he's free to do whatever, he approaches it with an adoring smile, pulling out a small swiss army knife from one of his pockets.]

Ahh look at you, you're totally cute! Mind if I take a peek at your insides, little guy? [He'll poke and prod at it with the small screwdriver attachment, before it moves to give him a nice, warm hug... which is actually pretty annoying. So he'll call out to anyone near by:]

O-oi, wait! Help me out here, I-I'm stuck! [The force of robot love is too strong]

phase iii.

[Okay, ferris wheel? Way too fucking scary. Cute snowbots? Really annoying. Roller coaster... well, there's absolutely no way he's going to ride the thing, but instead he'll lean against a nearby pole, and listen to the sounds of the screams and the ride sliding across the tracks at alarming speeds with his eyes closed to calm himself down. Good luck if you want to try to get him to ride the thing.]

bonus.

[Oh great, now what? Being ushered to Santabot was just as annoying as being hugged by the cute bots, but once he saw the cute little bot, his annoyance lifted a bit. He didn't need to be pushed towards the Santabot anymore, as he walks over casually and circles around the seat to inspect it. After a thorough inspection and being handed his present, he places a hand on his hip, looking sympathetic at the robot.]

Man, what crappy engineer made you? Everyone knows that Santa's supposed to have a lap for all the kids to sit on, but you don't even have legs. Pretty lame if you ask me... [Poor Santabot.. he'd make him legs if he could get his hands on one of those Snowbots without being hugged to death. (Also, that present is being pointedly ignored. After what he's seen of this place, he has a feeling that it can't be anything good..)]

extra ii.

[After discarding that present which he decidedly does not need at all, he's calmed down from the initial shock and fear from this morning and now he's starving. So, he'll be seen with four, yes four, peppermint cotton candy slicks in his hands, and a big ol' satisfied grin on his face.

And feel free to think of any other scenario to bug him with! Just know that he'll strongly refuse riding any of the fast rides, and the Fun House he won't even look in the direction of.]
faithfulflame: (Rei Fuck Off Jadeite)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-23 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Quite a day...

[Rei puffs out a breath and leans back in her seat too, content to wait.]

Still, you'd think that with all the technology here, something so simple as power outages would be less of a problem.
hamham: like a cult. (I do not make homosexuality sound)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-23 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Listen here shrimp.

There is just the slightest of tensing in his shoulders at that, but he brushes it off pretty quickly.]


As strong as my Devas are, being caught underfoot in such a crowd would be nothing but disaster for them. If there were any larger predators present and I had not arrived in time to diffuse the situation...or any ill-advised human, for that matter, looking for some pet to take home with them...

[There are a lot of worries about losing a hamster in a place like this, okay...though Maga-Z seems a little offended, chirping a bit in Kuzuryuu's hand. Please, he'd be fine. He's fine now, isn't he???]

We have only just arrived in this hellhole.
masakados: (these kinds of words are worthless)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-23 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, it's kind of my thing--

[He tries to keep some humour in it, but there's a tightness in his voice, and fire crackles to life in his palms, shedding some more light around him.

This is different from the rollercoaster, this is more vulnerable, and he really doesn't like that--]


Be careful.
pixelacious: (AMUSED ► eyebrow lift. yeah?)

AndrAIa. And go get 'em, tiger.

spyrites: (» heh...)

phase i

[personal profile] spyrites 2015-03-23 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay so admittedly this was a little... creepy... but Jude remains as level headed and calm as always. It was something that would surely be fixed soon and they'll be down in no time, he's sure. They'd just have to wait a little in the dark until the ride was fixed.

Unfortunately his ferris wheel buddy seems to be way less calm about it. He's afraid his arm is going to fall asleep if she clings any harder to it...]


Are you okay?
impheired: but i tripped up the stairs, half the class is bleeding, and the bathtub is on fire (stare ♚ it's not even noon yet)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-23 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh god he's like a chipper, spandex-wearing version of Gundam. Dear god. Are you sure you're friends with Peko? Suddenly he's finding himself wondering if this friendship is fully reciprocated. Okay wait no they're sparring partners and Peko wouldn't do that sort of thing with just anybody.]

[Fuck it, he's not even going to wonder about it anymore, he'll just go to the source and ask her about this weird eyebrow dude.]


O...kay. Well... [He's suddenly less sure how to deal with you, Lee.] If Peko's been as anxious as you say, I shouldn't keep her waiting much longer. Thanks for letting me know, but we'll have to talk more later.

[Which is inevitable, he supposes, given Lee's relationship with Peko. Maybe they'll even run into each other again later on in the park.]

[ he doesn't know what christmas is? that's weird. maybe he's from a different country with different customs...? either way, she makes a thoughtful noise before speaking. ]

I think generally it's mostly a time where families gather together and exchange gifts. The original meaning is different, but I think it's mostly been commercialized over the years.
stagewright: (SPRITE ► magician's secret!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ She doesn't need bullshit lawyer body language reading skills to catch those vibes, let's be real... ]

I'll probably look around with Daddy, later. He won't let me get into anything really dangerous! [ ..........a pause, as she realizes her current situation. ] Um, he didn't think the rides were dangerous...but we'll be twice as careful from now on! I wasn't planning on going on another one, but I bet he wouldn't let me, anyway.

[ apparently she has a responsible (???????????? can phoenix be called that) adult with her for some reason...? ]
