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 ❅

//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!!!

[Because why not. Also Yoon counts as a girl too, right?! (Sorry Yoon).

She's still insisting though, but not because he's being stubborn. Actually it worries her slightly that he's had worse.]


I promise you it's not an embarrassing bandage, you can take it off later. Just lean forward, please. [She says as she's almost ready to reach, but she wouldn't want to accidentally miss.]

[GUESS WHO ELSE NOTICES AND RECOGNIZES KUZURYUU?? Yeah it's this punk right here, who spots The Bench Dweller as he sits scowling the night away... Kaoru can't just walk by!

So, cautiously approaching:]


Are you all right, sir? This carnival hasn't been very kind to the people here... [Maybe he went on the spinning ride and got sick?? Or maybe his face is just stuck like that...]
souredsweet: breadcrusts (what is it that i seek)

phase iv!

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-23 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
[WELL... It's not the grossest thing to have ever happened to Kaoru, which is a dang tragedy in and of itself. But it's still DANG GROSS and it's only years of practice that keeps Kaoru from giving in to the reflexive urge to push this stranger away.

Instead, one hand shifts to support his back and the other reaches for a handkerchief tucked away safely in a pocket.]


Ah— Sir? [Holding the handkerchief out!] I'm a trained nurse, so please wait for a moment—

[Kaoru can call for BACKUP.]

[SO LUCKY. THE LUCKIEST GIRL IN THE UNIVERSE.]

...Really. [She's incredulous, to say the least. You don't get to survive this long without a healthy dose of paranoia, though, so that's to be expected. Hope he isn't too offended when she raises an eyebrow and s l o w l y opens the package—]
compossible: (Rip Van Winkle)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Look, she's just calling it like it is--but she shakes her head again at that, rather simply.

It is an awful lot of blood, of course. About the amount of blood that you'd expect from someone who died bleeding out from a stab wound. But. You know.

Them's the breaks.]


I'm really fine, honest. It seems like our benevolent sci-fi overlords patched me up but couldn't be bothered to give me a new wardrobe at the same time.

That's kind of lazy, don't you think?

[personal profile] bakudanma 2015-03-23 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'M NOT FINE, I'M KATSURA!!
[ look, hey. Guess who else was on that ride with Apollo. When he hears him making his introduction in front of him, he can't help but introduce himself... rather hysterically.

He places a hand on the fellow in front of him as they stagger out the exit to steady himself. Not good. Spinning rides never did this to him. What was the deal?
Very solemnly he looks over into Apollo's eyes once he is side by side with him. ]


—If I threw up on your shoes right now, would you think any less of me?
[ the tone in his voice was real. ]
poised: (✰ have you considered not being an ass)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-23 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Well, even if it doesn't hurt, it'd be troublesome if it were to get infected.

[Hope you enjoy having no room for argument, Hak. You may just want to resign to your fate of getting healed here.]

In truth, I rather insist.... especially if you're who I think you are. [But that sounds a little suspicious so she elaborates-] Do the names of Yoon, Shin-Ah, and Ki-ja ring any bells to you?
beaconed: (049)

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-23 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Even though the interior appears to be darkening, Jaune doesn't seem to be too panicked about being trapped here with someone he trusts. Instead, his mind is still going over that whole power point presentation and the fact their world is gone. He keeps wondering if Nora, Ren and the others are safe... and if not, could they really have a chance at restoring the world simply by living in this one? Fighting Grimm is one thing, but these Flamines are on another level. ]

...Soul-crushing despair?

[ Then, he finally becomes conscious of their predicament. Well, sort of. He definitely feels something breathing into his ear, but since it's hard to see in the darkness he just assumes it's Pyrrha trying to cheer him up with a weird joke. ]

--Hey, c'mon, that tickles...!
poised: (✰ shove an arrow up yours)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-23 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
More than lazy, it's irresponsible and alarming. But there are certainly more than enough adjectives that can be spared for their incompetence.

[So casually as if her words aren't sharp and cutting. Still though, she shakes her head.]

Then at the very least, I'm relieved that you aren't too gravely injured or inconvenienced. I apologize for neglecting to introduce myself - my name is Natalia.
eggcream: (①⑦)

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-23 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, actually. They're surprisingly delicious! [He holds one of them out to her, that he hasn't eaten from yet.]

You wanna try some? [Normally he wouldn't share his food but she's cute so.. you know...]
ukakus: ( official art: manga ) (021)

[personal profile] ukakus 2015-03-23 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
[—and then promptly closes it.

Time to ALL BUT SHOVE IT BACK AT HIM.]


Oi, oi. What the hell are you implying, you shitty bastard, giving this kind of gift to someone?

[Nice change of tone there, Touka.............]
stagewright: art by <user name=3428351 site=pixiv.com> (CONSIDER ► this is a quandry!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Worth a shot! If you see something that looks like a magic supply shop, tell me. I need one of those...

[ where will she get her smoke pellets...!!! ]
defeets: (» whoa bro no)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
[That does sound rather cryptic. He blinks at that, wondering what might be the cause of it. Is she unpopular back home?]

Were you not fond of your previous world?
eggcream: (⑨ Just a little bit of you)

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-23 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
[You're welcome, that's what he's here for.]

C-come on! I'm gonna get crushed to death or something! [Probably.]
psycholawgy: (this reminds me of a puzzle!)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-23 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh my god she is so amazed, she lets out a really astounded-sounding: ]

Woah!! That's super awesome!

I'm guessing Super High School Level is some kind of TV show in school, like that show about child geniuses. So... I'd totally love a meal! Do you work somewhere? Maybe you'd like to join us at the cosplay cafe!

hoasen: (did I leave the cat in the oven...)

iii?!

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-23 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
[She's not armed to the teeth right now, so most she does is duck and dodge, so she is thankful that at least one of them is armed.

After fixing her hair because of one loop previously--]


Ah, no, it appears this theme park only just opened?

[Literally answering.

And then a pause...]


How many of those blades do you have?
eggcream: (①② Her!)

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-23 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Like hell we are! [Why does everyone torment him so...]

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oooh, yes please! Are you sure? [ SHE ASKS, AS SHE ALREADY ACCEPTS THE THING COTTON CANDY HE'S OFFERING...why did you bother to ask if he was sure, Trucy, you were clearly going for it. ]

Thanks!! [ And she will take a bite before...well, introducing herself to Random Generous Cotton Candy Guy is probably a good idea. ] I'm Trucy, Trucy Wright. Wow, this is actually pretty good!
bakudanma: (【 72 】)

[personal profile] bakudanma 2015-03-23 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Zura is on his way to something that seemed... important to him and probably frivolous to anyone else when he calls a cry for help. He looks over his shoulder at the guy who seems to be stuck by one of the robots and squints; squinting and judging so hard.

Give it a moment before he's running straight towards the robot, wielding a katana that he keeps at his belt with a battle cry of his own.

How did he get into an amusement park with that thing? We'll never know. ]
defeets: (» i've seen bigger)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . . for a little bit, Jae-ha is willing to let Hak just do that. Wait for him to slip and then grab him but there's always the slight chance of what if he doesn't make it in time.

So instead he's rolling his eyes and jumping and more or less lunging straight for Hak before forcefully picking him up in a princess carry and jumping off the rails.]


Now now, don't be difficult and waste time. We need to find Yona as soon as possible, don't we?
axilium: (i think we're headed to bad end)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-23 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
[For a moment, his expression breaks—because how could it not, when his world is crashing down around him?—before he makes an attempt to fix it into something more passive. Into something he and Elcia are more comfortable with, because he doesn't know how to deal with this situation right now—doesn't know if he can.]

... You did what you could. If... I manage to return home, I can carry on the investigation. You don't need to worry about it.

[What he doesn't say is that he isn't sure if he wants to return home, knowing what awaits. If it's a world where all of his friends are gone, where Elcia is dead, then he has no reason to go back.

He also isn't mentioning his suspicions about who Irina's murderer was, now, having checked the prototype's datalog. It's something he should be telling Elcia, he knows, but... under these circumstances, it doesn't feel like a good time.]
hamham: and yelling "YOU USED TO BE A DINOSAUR!!!" (Apparently I was pointing at birds)

yes good

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-23 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Look, if you were being patronized on top of your life basically going to shit, you would be affronted by a box too!!! But he looks at Oz when he speaks, then down to the box.]

And where might I have such an opportunity to do so?

[Even as he says this, he's looking around for some kind of trash can now.]
bozu: (so whos sleeping with the dark lord)

Sitting......

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
[... Oh. Well, those two aren't much taller than himself - but they look quite a bit younger. So...
Two, adorable kids looking sad and covered in wounds? That's definitely the sort of thing to tug on someone's heartstrings, especially when you're an older brother like Teruteru.

Which means, after a moment, he's going to come over to the two with a couple funnel cakes in tow.]


Hello, you two - you look awfully upset! Would you like to share a treat or two with me?
I've picked out the best funnel cake in the park...!
defeets: (» talk piratey to me)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Goodness, she has quite a bit of distaste for humans, doesn't she? It sounds as if there's a story there and as his gaze drifts toward her scars, he has a feeling he can take a guess.

Then he meets her eyes again evenly and smiles easily.]


Why else, gorgeous? [He lays a hand over his heart.] Jae-ha, the Green Dragon, at your service.
hamham: hand awkwardly close to your penis area by accident and look at you. (I just heard my mom say)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-23 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
[He did indeed. He is fresh off of that bus and CERES' bus and the starvation bus and a number of buses he never wanted to ride in the first place.

He studies his friend carefully as he speaks, but seems content with that answer.]


It is good to see you, in that case.
