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.

ahhh! W-What?! Something just touched my neck!

[Good question... Did he see that? He's pretty sure he saw something all right but he had brushed it off as maybe still being tired from the memory swap thing a few days ago. But when the girl near by asks that then maybe...]

Yeah. Or... at least, I think I saw it. I saw something but I didn't really see what it was. [Weird... and kind of spooky, he'll admit.] Maybe someone is playing a prank. [.... Why does he try to logic these things out when this place never runs on logic?]

Phase II.

[ Judith hadn't been very pleased about being separated from her dragon companion, but facts were facts: even when decreased in size, Ba'ul still wouldn't fit on the bus. But there were usually places where he couldn't follow, so she'd asked her partner to explore this place instead.

And now here she is, in this 'funhouse', rubbing one shoulder thoughtfully as the lights come back on. Odd, she was sure the mirrors had... well, no matter.

Sorry, poor innocent person trying to enjoy the funhouse, she's just testing something by very gently slamming a boot through one of the mirrors. ]



Phase III.

[ Here, you can either encounter this busty elf-eared lady currently combating sword-wielding Santas with a spear (where she had that on her, no one may truly know), and seemingly enjoying herself--

Or you may encounter her afterwards, one cheek bleeding, hair escaping from its neat bun, and still... seeming to enjoy herself. ]


I have to say, that's much more interesting than just sitting still and enjoying the scenery.


Choose Your Own Adventure

[ She's left the carnival. If you're lucky, so have you-- or maybe you're just entering. Whatever the case, there's Judith, affectionately greeting-- a dragon. A semi-large purplish dragon floating at her eye-level and emitting whale-like noises.

Stare, make whale-like noises back, just don't try to kill it. ]

[ yes well she has gloves on IT'S NOT THAT EXCITING... ]

I don't think it's that bad! I mean, I haven't gotten stuck in lines with anyone but Daddy, really. And Jinxie once, and Pearls another time...maybe it just depends on the company? I've waited in lines with Polly, too.

[ She's never going to introduce Apollo properly to anyone ever. ]

But I can definitely show you some tricks! I do have quite a few of my props. The major ones, even!

[...

There's no one out there so similar to him as Elcia is. It's a blessing, as it's why they get along so well (even if they pretend otherwise); it's a curse, being able to read one another just as well. It's why they've always had to maintain a certain distance.

Elcia's expression and words make it very clear to him that he's going to hate what he hears.]


... Oh, lots. But it'd take paragraphs to explain, so let's skip it.

It might be an auditory illusion. This place can mess with a person's mind. [ She points at her ears with a rather calm expression, trying her best to keep a composed expression before shaking her head at the question. ]

No, I'm pretty sure it's not.

[ Hitching a breath, she takes several glances around. It's too dark to tell. ]

Let me see if I can't brighten the situation. [ That was a pretty bad pun, but it fits. She doesn't necessarily like being in this darkness either, which is why she reaches out for her cell phone and turns it on. At least that should be a reliable light source... ] Do you see anything?

[So we're making it four. All right. Where're the rest? Hinata's wholly expecting it at this point (this is the most ridiculous day ever) and while the shock hasn't worn off, he's at least not as shocked to see... that bright pink hair and bright clothes. It's the same kind of lower shock that he had when finding Kuzuryuu.]

Souda? [At least Hinata will call out and not do the super startling thing of tapping his shoulder from behind to get his attention. He'll slowly walk up next to him.]

Is that what you're worrying about?

[Hide is standing in front of a food vendor located across from the roller coaster. He's sipping at his drink as he watches people wander on and off the ride. He finds the apparent differences that divides the groups fascinating to watch. The people getting on are nervous, anxious, excited. They don't know what to expect. Meanwhile the people coming out seem...shell-shocked. They come out with disheveled clothes and bleeding scratches.

Or...if you're like the man he's watching now. You look completely unconcerned. Hide is coming to believe that there are people here who are quite used to these random acts of violence and horror. He kind of wishes he was one of those people.

He watches as the man tries to calm his...pig. Well, there's something you don't see every day. When the man makes eye contact with him, Hide quickly smiles and nods. He orders a cup of water from the vendor and brings it over.]


Seems like the poor guy has had it tough. I'm glad I decided to skip the roller coaster. How bad is it in there?

[Peko recognizes that voice, right down to the pathetic whine. She almost -- almost considers just leaving him there, because really, with how many times he accused her of being a murderer (EVEN IN TRIAL ONE), she's not all that keen to find out exactly what his reaction to her is going to be. Considering she did murder one of their classmates and try to kill all of them, too.

But alas, he is a classmate, so she'll march up from behind the robot and give the back of its head a sharp thwack with the butt of her katana, which should distract it from him long enough for him to be able to wiggle free.]


Souda. Move.

[In case that's not clear enough, he gets one shot. She isn't going to put all that much effort into saving you, bro.]

[Man aside from all the dangerous stuff this place isn't so bad. The hugging snowmen are cute as all get out, and the food is amazing! Well, subpar, but who knew that these kinds of delicious Christmas-y concoctions existed! So it's no surprise to see her wandering around with four sticks of peppermint cotton candy in hand with her pig in toe.

What is surprising, to her at least, is seeing this short kid wandering around in a suit. Because who wears suits to amusement parks?

...wait. Suit. And eyepatch?

Hey there, Kuzuryuu, you've got a little girl running up you excitedly.]


Hey! Hey hey hey! How old are you?

[Don't be too offended by that question...it's hard to tell, and she doesn't want to get anything wrong.]

[gloves or not she is a real life person, this is a magical moment for him]

I can't say I've had any good company for these sort of things up until now, so that could be it!

As for your tricks, though... what kind of props? Do you saw people in half, like on TV?
Or make others disappear, maybe?

there's a blue glow and the sound of shattering glass before she's enveloped by juno.

We're a little closer to the entrance than the exit, so I think we can double back and leave through there. [ her voice echoes a little, as if coming from underwater. ] Also... there's something here, I'm not sure what it is, but it might be heading our way.

Your Dad? [Well, then, that's good.] I think it's good to be cautious in this city just in case, but when crazy things aren't happening here, it's not as dangerous.

[But still be cautious! Constant vigilance!] ...And I'd say completely pass on any more rides here.

[There are a lot of things Touka regrets. Like, say, getting on that deathtrap of a roller coaster. Maybe she even regrets sitting next to this kid, if she happened to be Hiro's unlucky roller coaster buddy. Which would mean she was equally as useless, because it's not like there was much to do beside ducking, screeching expletives and pulling the person next to her down. Whoops.

For some reason, though, even if her clothes have been ruined and she looks just about to commit manslaughter, she's completely unharmed. And that's totally odd, because from the look of her right sleeve she should have a nice gash on her upper arm. Huh.

Oh, well. She raises both eyebrows when she's approached by them, staring at the giant balloon thing like she's half expecting it to go haywire like everything else here.]


I'm... fine, so I don't need any medical attention. Thank you. [Said as politely as possible, even though she's pretty ticked off. Ugh.] What about you, kid? You okay?

No, although I do have one of those sawing booths! I use it to store clothes back home. Polly didn't want to let me saw him in half, even if it were empty... [ Because they make good drawers apparently...? ] But I have most of my things! I can't tell you all of them, y'know. A good magician never reveals her secrets! ...And it would be, like, way less surprising if I did a trick and you already knew to expect it, right?

[ Mr. Hat, for example, is a state secret. Until Trucy feels the need to have her person-sized puppet arrive out of nowhere.

No one is exactly sure where she keeps him. It's magic. ]

Yeah. [She remembers the way they ushered people onto the bus...] I don't really like the mirrors, either. They make me look weird.

[She glances over to one, like she's afraid to look at it directly.

For good reason, too: suddenly, an image of a monster flashes like a projection, and she jumps, abruptly turning away. Her eyes fall on Elcia, waiting to see if she has a reaction... or maybe she just imagined it.

She kind of hopes she did, honestly.]

[ FOR WHAT GOOD THAT WILL DO HER, NOW THAT SCHOOL WAS DESTROYED, AND ALSO THE PLANET? god ]
