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.

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!!!


bewrightback: (this my really really neutral face)

Then just consider this some character testimony. That's all. You're not obligated to change your opinion on him... and I guess it doesn't really matter that much to me anyway.

My name's Phoenix Wright, by the way.
compossible: (Trick Out Time)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[It is. She's not sure even now how much she should say, but... she knows that either way, it's going to hurt Belph (which is going to hurt her in turn, and she thinks feelings are maybe not worth all of this) but she does have to explain something...

Well, there's the hint of sunlight in front of them, and so Elcia moves that way, relieved to get away from the singing reindeer and the mirrors that definitely were reflecting monsters.]


...Creepy place.

[She's glad to be out of there, that's for sure.]
andimfine: (✓ 10)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-23 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ The familiar voice causes him to glance upwards, and though his vision is a bit swayed at the moment, he knows exactly who's running over. While he never really minds a hug from Trucy, he needed to prepare himself for the inevitable embrace this time. Being so disoriented, there's a good chance that he'd fall right over, so right before she wraps her arms around himself, he does his best to plant both of his feet firmly against the ground.

There's definitely a stumble, but he holds them both upwards. Towards her comment, he offers her a weak frown. ]


Geeze, thanks for letting me know, Trucy. [ Just give him a moment to collect himself. Sarcasm aside, he really is happy to see her right now. ]

Did you..also just get here?
scaryintuition: (doubtful)

[personal profile] scaryintuition 2015-03-23 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
How cold. It just wanted a hug.

[Sure, the robot probably shouldn't chase people and force hugs on them, but that's no reason to maim one.]

And maybe instead of green, they might be a little more...red?

[ guys stop......... ]
bozu: (well if you ask me...)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
This "Polly" friend of yours doesn't sound very adventurous! After all, you're a professional, right? He wouldn't be in any danger with your careful hands!

But I suppose you're right... once we get the chance, you'll have to show me your best trick, okay?
And maybe I can show you a few tricks of my own, mhmhm!

[This is where you politely decline his offer, Trucy -

And it seems they did choose a good time for the ferris wheel; even though there is a line, it's not so bad.]
masakados: (how far away did I hide)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-23 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[No, she's going to be the one surprising him more--

He hears the sound and jolts toward it, eyes flaring light blue (readying in case it's an enemy). But then he sees that... demon? No. Not a demon, it doesn't feel the same as one. He turns his caution away from it, the fire licking higher on his arms and he holds up one hand to see better. This'd be easier if he had a demon with lightoma.]


--Got it. I'm gonna make it a little more difficult for it to find us. [And he sucks in a deep breath... and exhales it in thick, wreathing fog, directed away from them, leaving a clear path for them to follow.] Let's get outta here.
axilium: (maybe i should stop)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-23 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[The balloon robot is not, in fact, all that strange to him, because hey, robots come in weird shapes where he's from too (and talk as well, for that matter).

Belph wasn't really any better on the rollercoaster, and now that it's over, he's looking a bit disheveled, though at least not seriously harmed.]


... Well, that's one way to describe it. I'm feeling more and more enlightened to the holidays of this place by the moment.

[Conclusion so far: 'Christmas' is really weird.]

[personal profile] millionth 2015-03-23 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[hiro's eyes go wide when baymax says that, finally giving the robot his full attention.]

What? [then he catches himself, breathing out and shaking his head. he pats baymax, half-smiling] Yeah, okay, buddy. I remember. [he figures baymax is just being reassuring, reminding him that he's not really alone, so he doesn't expect the robot to start toddling out of line, moving forwards.] Whoa. Baymax, what are you doing?

Tadashi is here. I will scan him now.

[and that's when hiro's eyes follow where baymax is going...and he sees his brother, going still.]
compossible: (You Cannot Change The Future)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
That's less exciting.

[Really........ the evil CEO who terrorizes the poor kidnapped citizens...?]

Is it just me, or does that sound like the plot of a really cheesy sci-fi flick.
stagewright: art by <user name=392119 site=pixiv.com> (TEASE ► i was joking silly!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
You're welcome! You have to represent the Agency, you know...and right now, you look like you're representing seasickness instead! [ She's...so nice. Always and forever nice. She and Phoenix were already suggesting Apollo was an alien elsewhere, before even knowing he was here...

...so nice. She nods quickly. ]


Yeah! Daddy's here, too. He's not riding on the rides for the most part...which, by the way, is probably smart. I only went on two, and I'm not going on any others! Maybe we can get you some water...?
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[personal profile] dereban 2015-03-23 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ Inaba rubs her temples in annoyance, sighing. ] Geez.

Sounds like fun. [ Her voice is dripping with sarcasm; it's clear that it doesn't seem like fun. At all. ] I can't believe that they would honestly do that. . . I wonder if it's another glitch.
fierybluebird: (birdie head tilt?)

Bonus because I am evil

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2015-03-23 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
A dildo. [ Marco no. ]

Are you really going to use it as a weapon?

[ He will not judge you if so, since his wife is crazy like that, but still. ]
punchesyu: (I REALLY LIKE THESE ICONS OKAY)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-23 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[He reels back, looking around in the darkness to no avail, and goes to try to punch whatever it was that was behind Rei-!]

Get away from her!

[Does he hit her or the thing behind her...]
bozu: (Heat grill to medium-high)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, alright, none of that then.
I'll just have to try something else...!

But for now, how about we go check out some of the food stalls? I'm not sure I can trust some of them, but...
Maybe the candy will be alright.

[You can take your hands back out, it's safe!! Gosh!!]
axilium: (maybe i should stop)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-23 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[...]

Agreed. I'd heard that people in the past celebrated a holiday called Christmas, but I didn't know it was this... interesting.

[They're delaying things.]
harepiece: (thrown to the waters)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-23 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
I'm all right! [AND HE IS miraculously, because he came into this amusement park more ready for death than a normal person probably should be. It's what happens when you end up stuck in one that specifically caters to murder for a week...

So on the ride itself, he had been pretty good about ducking and dodging and keeping everyone nearby as safe as possible, but it seems he's had similar thoughts and has been scouting out the area for anyone else on the ride. At the very least, he didn't notice anyone being left behind once it was over... SMALL MIRACLES.]


Are you? And, um— [Glancing up and up at BAYMAX. He's pretty sure he would have remembered seeing something like this on the ride...] ...Your friend? I don't need medical attention either, but thanks! You might want to be careful if you decide to go on anything else, though. That ride probably wasn't a fluke.
failures: (✎ what a crybaby)

OTA!

[personal profile] failures 2015-03-23 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[arrival]

[Larry's head is still spinning from the moment he went through that weird apocalyptic game and subsequent powerpoint presentation assault, so he's happy to be off the bus to get some fresh air and see the city he's supposed to call home for now.

What he wasn't expecting was...well, all of this.

He voices his thoughts on it to no one in particular, just those who happen to be around him at the time.]


Christmas? Man, that was like four months ago for me... Who woulda thought some alien techno world would have it?

[phase III, after the ride]

[Somewhere around the coaster, Larry can be found with a snowcone shoved in his face and his other hand tenderly rubbing the top of his spiky hair. He also appears to be weeping, like he's just experienced something traumatic and is attempting to sooth the pain with this glob of flavored crushed ice.

If asked what's wrong, Larry will give this as a response:]


It's my hair, man. My hair is a casualty to that horrible roller-coaster of death! I-I think they took off a chunk of it!

[They?

Oh dear, this could end up complicated for those who didn't go for a ride.]


[choose your own/after the rides]

[Once he's had more than enough of his fill of the crazy rides, Larry can be found on the outskirts of the park trying to avoid all the rides and generally wanting to go back home already, or at least get away from this place if he can't go back home. Feel free to make up an encounter if you'd like!]
carptricks: (So I may as well)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-23 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[he quirks both eyebrows at her and passes his hand over the rose in his palm. it disappears into thin air, without a trace]

You make job offers that quickly? Heh, I s'pose I should be flattered.

[he flashes her a genuine smile of his own, and leans back against the bus seat again]

Thanks. . . but there's a lot to get used to-- [and he lifts a hand to gesture at. . . everything] -- before I join any talent agencies.
compossible: (You Cannot Change The Future)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Elcia has given no indication of having seen a terrifying, horrifying monster, so maybe Leia really did just imagine it...?

She walks a few more paces without any hesitation or problem, and then she meets Leia's eyes, and--]


I've never seen a monster like that. How about you?

[Oh, so she's just not bothered by monsters. right.]
stagewright: art by <user name=4078866 site=pixiv.com> (HAPPY ► oh it tastes great!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Polly? Oh, he's definitely not adventurous! But we love him anyway. [ They just also mercilessly tease him about it. It's how the family works. ]

I didn't know you knew any magic tricks. Do you have cards, too, or can you do flowers? Kaito did flowers for me earlier.

[ This is where you show her a legitimate magic trick, Hanamura! ]
bewrightback: (chibi determination)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Then why do they need us for?

They should be fine.

[Your world was just destroyed.]
compossible: (Make Wrong What Once Went Right)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[They are delaying things, and for a brief moment, Elcia wonders if it would really be so bad to just leave it like this.

Is there anything wrong with...just pretending it could be fine like this?]


Now, now, Belph. You shouldn't mock the culture of another timeline so easily.

[Heh. Yeah, she's 100% joking, people of other timelines are weird.]
defeets: (» have i told you lately)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . the information about their home worlds is still insane to Jae-ha to be honest. It's hard to imagine his entire world disappearing just like that and it sits... badly with him. It sits even worse that this place gave him that sparse information and then expected him to buy it entirely.

So he hums thoughtfully at that, even as he starts to walk forward slowly, encouraging her to come with him as he holds onto her hand carefully.]


Then even though there's no place else for us to go, at least we're not in chains?

[A little cryptic, but he turns back to her with a smile afterward.] Well, I'm glad that you're well taken care of at least, lovely Ai Thao.
andimfine: (✓ 27)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-23 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ Whether it be luck or misfortune, Apollo is used to dealing with people who have a similar personality to this girl. ]

Uh..yeah..sure. [ Amazing would not be the word he'd choose for this experience. Terrifying, maybe. But eventually, boring sounds more accurate. It is moving awfully slow. Although, he is not going to complain about that because his nerves still aren't completely settled.

The halfway point is deceptively relieving. Thinking to that this almost over quickly evolves into wondering when this is going to end. ]


It stopped..? [ And then darkness envelopes them. ]

Wait, what's going on? Is this supposed to happen?
