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!!!


troubadear: (You- you beast!)

[personal profile] troubadear 2015-03-23 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
[that is absolutely what is happening]

What? Why- why, I never! I assure you, I am very fond of some of them! [Only some???] Farmers tend to soil, do they not? Why would they be offended?

[tbf, some of her friends probably wouldn't be. The others are used to her.]
defeets: (» ah. hak got rejected again.)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Little bearing? Well, no because-]

I'd actually say that explains a lot.

[At the very least, it makes sense to Jae-ha. A squad with the intention to protect the country - aka a government soldier who actually does his job instead of kicking around people. Sure. Jae-ha is willing to buy that much for now.]

How heroic of you. [He says it kind of dryly, though. Do you want a gold star for having a heart? He'll give you a kiss if you want.] Seems like they'd need that protection more often than not here. Any idea who's to blame for that?

[So Jae-ha can kick them in the face.]
fortheprincess: (i'm right here cause i need)

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-23 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh good grief Rei Ryugazaki---great, is she following him now? Well, at least it's not for the bandage this time. He'd might as well warn her so she doesn't go in and get herself hurt.

He stops moving and turns around to face her again, holding his spear so it settles nicely over his shoulder. ]


Not sure, but there's something in there. It'll attack you, and you'll probably get hurt.
stagewright: art by <user name=325587 site=pixiv.com> (GRIN ► haha i know right?)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not actually sure what it was, either! It was...weird. [ That's the best way to put it...of course, it'll take her one more ride on something else to simply go with "this entire park is out to get us, honestly", but for now she's optimistic! It was a weird one-off. Nothing to it. ]

At least you could see it happening from outside, or I guess I would have been stuck through...however long it was going to last. Or eaten by snakes!! You're my hero, Mr. Dragon! [ SO COOL kind of reminds her of Mr. Gavin a bit really. ]
troubadear: (Darling.)

[personal profile] troubadear 2015-03-23 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
And I am Maribelle, in any order. [Also, thank you for recognising the obvious European influence, Peko...] Was that so difficult?
defeets: (» where did this sake cup come from)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, the ride. He sits himself back down whether he wants to or not, honestly. Might as well?]

Celty, that's an interesting name. [Foreign. He likes that.] My name is Jae-ha. But I suppose I do have a question or two. Perhaps we can walk and talk once this machine stops moving?
stagewright: art by <user name=3428351 site=pixiv.com> (CONSIDER ► this is a quandry!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
Not at all any harm! After all, we have to at least explore a little bit, right? I think that's the only way we'll learn anything here...

[ maybe... ]

It's nice to meet you, Maribelle! Belle? Belle is a cute nickname, let's go with that! Or Mare? Mary? Mari?

[Wright Anything Agency... what is that even.]

No, there's no way I'm going to school. Why would I? [He had the choice to go, so of course he chose not to.]
defeets: (» have i told you lately)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, at the very least you're courteous with who you choose to bring home!

[This sort of banter is at least nostalgic for Jae-ha. He doesn't mind this person at all he's decided.]
troubadear: (Darling.)

[personal profile] troubadear 2015-03-23 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
No, I do not believe we do. I know that circuses and the like exist, and more simple carnivals, but I have yet to see any mechanical device on this scale. It's really quite fascinating!
kicksilver: (002)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-23 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mercury just shrugs his shoulders. ]

Christmas, huh? No clue what that is. We don't have it, that's for sure.
stagewright: art credit unknown, please contact (POLLY ► discussion time!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that means your place will make an even bigger splash, right? That's a good thing! ...I think?

[ Not up to date on restaurants, mostly focuses on magic stuff... ]

Geeze, this park is bigger than I realized. I wonder why all those robots need guns?
defeets: (» have i told you lately)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Amazing, there's actually a reason for his stripping this time!! But sure, he's willing to agree to that easily enough, picking up a blade and then handing it to her, hilt first.]

I suppose if I must, lovely. However I'd much rather you entrust this job to me. I can take all of these fools out in the blink of an eye.
eggcream: (①③ I can’t even talk)

1/2

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-23 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
...

[There's a long, silent pause, as he stares at the poor destroyed robot on the ground.]
hoasen: (pathways)

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-23 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Truly a boy who knows how to laugh. And yes, yes she is. He's learnt something dangerous in there, that and of course he needs to be monitored in case he suddenly discovers a glass shard pierced his kidney (worst case scenario).

It is actually now that she noticed his spear, and wonders again, what exactly happened in there?]


You fight, no? And you did not manage to come out unscathed...they really never open anything up without something trying to hurt us.
eggcream: (②⓪)

[personal profile] eggcream 2015-03-23 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Wh- WHAT THE HELL?! You- you almost killed me!! [SERIOUSLY WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT]
kicksilver: (007)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-23 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ He lifts both his palms, and waves them dismissively as he tries to calm her down. ]

Aw, c'mon! I don't need it, I thought maybe you'd want it.
stagewright: art by <user name=392119 site=pixiv.com> (PLAN ► i've got one!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ clearly an agency that does anything, geeze Souda! ]

Well...I guess to learn? Aw, geeze. I was hoping to meet some more classmates, but so far I've met, like, Pearl. And I already know her! Anyway, I don't really have an option not to go...though I do kinda want to go!
poised: (✰ shut up just shut up)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-23 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ONLY SOME. And that really only manages to outrage Natalia further as she huffs-]

A noble is not a farmer to tend to commoners! Truly, how on earth could you come to that conclusion? Have some shred of dignity before you use your class to so carelessly comment on others!

You would not have food nor shelter if not for those commoners!
mermaiding: (sunny skies above)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2015-03-23 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
In more ways than one, suppose. [Given all the flirting, she can think of several ways he can service her aaayy.]

Call me Oona. Am a mermaid. [She leans in curiously, not even bothering to hide her eagerness.] What does a dragon do? Have heard whispers, but my kind is not so, hmm... Interested in things above water. Heard of dragons, yes, but do not know.

[Except that they apparently are big and can fly and maybe shoot fire out of their mouths or something?? And that possibly they like shiny things as much as mermaids do. That's about the extent of her knowledge; and, of course, dragons might be vastly different in his world. What does she know.]
troubadear: (You're an idiot.)

[personal profile] troubadear 2015-03-23 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, just today. Am I to assume the same of you? I have yet to hear much that is pleasing to the ear, I shall admit.
deontology: (LXXV.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-23 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
[You, sir, are kind of a dick.

Not that he's really bothered by that, honestly, and he's heard so much worse than that even from people in his own world. At that, he just responds so calmly and easily--]


I am not interested in heroism.

[Just in making sure that little kids aren't murdered by robots with swords. That's just common decency, especially since he is capable of protecting them. But... to have people assume that he does what he does for the sake of being considered a hero...it rubs him the wrong way. The dream Tenka had given him had been to be nameless, unknown, unspoken heroes, protecting the country behind a veil of anonymity.

He's never wanted anything else.]


Presumably, CERES is to blame, but there is no solid evidence either way. They will likely issue an apology at some point following this and claiming it was an accident.

[He's... very dry about that, for his part, but he doesn't want to share incorrect information, so he won't.]
hoasen: (hmm?)

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-23 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
[PRAISE THE HEAVENS. And here she takes his offered blade. What a gentleman! Stripping aside. Maybe he's lucky she's just getting a little more used to it thanks to her bff4eva Ryuko.]

Thank you very much, you are too kind. But while I trust that your skills will be able to defeat our current foes. [SHE SAW IT.] It is always safe to have back up. I will...how they say, watch your back.
poised: (✰ nani the fuck)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-23 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Glare all you want, Hak, Natalia merely stares back unflinchingly. You're gonna need to do more than some glaring and spear-gripping to intimidate her.]

They are friends. They described someone like you when they arrived and asked me to help search. I mean no harm to any of you.

[Though now she just sets a hand on her hip as she tilts her head up to look him in the eye and frown.]

Now cease your posturing. You'll scare the carnival goers with a look like that on your face.
kicksilver: (and i'll bet you'll feel nuts)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-23 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, I guess other people would actually feel sad and distracted about that. On the other hand, Mercury couldn't care less. ]

Oh, right. That's a thing, huh?

[ Not that he's taking her shock lightly. It's just his way of brightening the already dark situation... although his delivery might seem otherwise. ]

All I can offer right now is a hug, and a friendly pat on the shoulder. Want one?
