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!!!


poised: (✰ listen i own you)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-23 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Approximately a month ago. It's a rather complicated situation in terms of timelines and I'm sure they'll be able to explain it to you much better than I can, but.... [She waves a hand as if to dismiss the topic.] They are very dear to me. You needn't worry about their safety.

[Aka she'd personally shoot anyone who hurt them. So there's that.]

While I'll give you that your paranoia is warranted, I did just offer my help to you. [And she doesn't say it but boy does her tone imply "please have some sense".] Are you any more willing to take it yet?
hamham: End of story. (Never go drinking with anime club.)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-23 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
[The hamster does just that, since it's not like the chef is tall enough to really give him cause to worry about jumping off him. Returns pretty quick to Gundam's scarf as the man just eats his hot dog and watches the other leave with a scowl.

Fuck you he's plenty happy with his hot dog. Maybe he'll eat a second hot dog just to spite you.]
bozu: (for science)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Have fun throwing it back up then!!!

And it takes a little while, but eventually he returns with a lot of food - and other things - in his arms. One of the other things in particular seems to be a stuffed duck with deer antlers???

He seems a lot less mad, too.]


Mmmhmhm... sorry it took me so long - I saw a game that was far too easy for myself, so I gave it a shot!
You can keep the prize, of course. I'm not really interested in it.

Anyway, I tested all the popcorn I can find, and brought you the best in the park! As well as a cup of lemonade!
It's not very sweet, but I've got a packet of sugar with me if you'd like.
fortheprincess: (i can do anything you need)

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-23 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ that is what will echo in the distance every time these two interact Eventually. Then she can freak out on him again, much to his dismay... ]

Not sure about that, either. The lights suddenly turned off, and I couldn't see anything. [ It's pretty embarrassing to be talking about how he'd (almost) gotten his ass kicked; but he'd rather not see anyone else go through that thing if they can help it.

But uh. Wow, almost got her face destroyed? Can't say he's not a little concerned about that. ]
What are these guys trying to do? Aren't we supposedly here to save our homes?
souredsweet: mewtube (thin-skinned)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-23 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
It's impossible to prepare for everything here, unfortunately.

[That supporting hand remains where it is just in case Souji gets sick again, patting gently once or twice in a soothing sort of gesture.]

But there's no need to apologize, and it isn't any trouble at all. [A quick glance around follows. Once the nearest concession stand is spotted:] Do you need water?
spiritpearls: (SURPRISED ► gasp!)

phase iv

[personal profile] spiritpearls 2015-03-23 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ Pearl is heading toward this ride, even after the hell of the other rides she's hoping there will be one that isn't awful (her hair is a mess and she's got a few rips in her clothes... this themepark is Dangerous), but stops when she sees Apollo exiting the ride. She hurries over. And decides she's definitely not getting on this ride either yeah nah. ]

Apollo! You don't look fine... Oh gosh, are you going to be sick? [ You look like you're going to be sick. Do you need a trash can to puke in, Apollo. ]
fortheprincess: (and it's killing me when you're away)

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-23 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Good. He'd join her. Maybe not so much for Ki-ja, but... ]

...I see. They're alright, then. [ The timelines aren't something he'll be able to wrap his head around right now. He'll ask them about it when he sees them. ]

Hm. You're still a stranger. [ Said as a matter-of-factly. ] Who are you, anyway?
beaconed: (015)

Jaune Arc | RWBY (ota)

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-23 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
(phase iii)
[ When the sled came to a sudden stop in the tunnel, Jaune was propelled out it and now finds himself surrounded by childhood heroes trying to kill him. Not only that, there are people still trapped in the sled as more Santas try and swoop down. He realizes that he must desperately get over there, not just to rescue everyone, but that sled is his only ride back! ]

Hang in there! [ Before Jaune can reach the sled, he's forced to block an incoming attack with his shield, and counters by slashing against his enemy, only to notice that his attackers have... a metallic interior? ]

Oh, you've got to be kidding me! [ More robots. He's gonna have to swing harder against these things. ]


(bonus)
[ Nah, Jaune opens his present as soon as he's done with Santa-Bot. ]

Aw, what's the big idea? This isn't what I wanted! [ He holds up the second item like it's some kind of weapon. How puzzling. ] This piece isn't even as long as my sword, why would I use this?

[ He also inspects the other item in his hand, looking less offended. The "kiss" part has his attention more than anything else for now. Otherwise, he's pretty oblivious to the rubber that comes with it, or anything else it may imply. ] ...I'll keep you.
souredsweet: jackandtink (uninspired)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-23 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
[She's sure on an excellent track already, it's true. Kaoru will huddle up a little once she scoots over, like the rest of the carnival is just Too Spooky and Maribelle is a beacon of civility.]

It would be for the best if that happened to be their strategy. [But tone alone says "UNFORTUNATELY IT ISN'T."]

You must be a new arrival, then? The situation here often becomes unpleasant like this. Their treatment of those they "rescue" isn't always the best...
spiritpearls: (SMILE ► penguin)

wandering!

[personal profile] spiritpearls 2015-03-23 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ St...ares. That sure is a tall person in a trench coat with a pig following him. What an odd sight... But that sure is a cute pig! Pearl approaches. ]

Hi! Is it okay if I pet your pet pig? [ Pearl Fey, asking the important questions here. She gestures at the cute pig. ] He's just so cute!
hoasen: (HUH)

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-23 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
[So that's their theme song...... Yes good, she'll make him sit down and everything.]

Hmm...how suspicious. It is similar, just suddenly change...but ah! Are you alright? I mean, you had your face hurt like this and was pinned down... [YEAH SHE REMEMBERS AGAIN, and is trying to look him over. And as she does so--]

But yes, that is what we all assumed, but those who have been here for longer has been telling us there might be something deeper.
poised: (✰ status images are important)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-23 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, fair enough. She seems surprised at the question and then surprised at herself-]

Oh! Forgive me for not introducing myself.

My name is Natalia. [She nods once, politely. Still too much of a princess to really incline her head to anyone without cause.] So I am not incorrect in assuming that you are Hak?
trafalgar: (pic#8957105)

[personal profile] trafalgar 2015-03-23 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, that answers his question well enough. Onto plan B...which is still a very metaphorical thing.]

I was in the middle of something.

[Which explains absolutely nothing, especially about the very specific thing she's asking about.]

Are you native?
harepiece: (that's a surprise)

collecting all the weirdos: the oz story

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-23 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
I can show you the trash can I found earlier, if you want.

[He's already tURNING IN THAT DIRECTION. He will help Gundam rid himself of this supremely offensive box, okay. He'll do it for Gundam.]
spes_phthisica: (Do not choose)

[personal profile] spes_phthisica 2015-03-23 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
[He's had so many people helping him, supporting him, holding him up recently, he could choke on it. Well, if he wasn't doing so already all on his own. He's tired of there having to be a need, but Souji really isn't one to lash out at people for something like that. It's not his helper/victim'sfajlt.

So instead he smiles a it tiredly and nods.]
Something to wash away the taste with a bit might be a good idea actually. [And as he says it he can almost taste Hijikata's bitter, sharp-tasting tea on his lips, and has to close his eyes for a fraction of a second for the sake of composure.] You're very kind to want to help me, when I've made such a mess of your cute clothes.
harepiece: (buttering my anime bread)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-23 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
Ah—

[He's briefly caught off guard because GOSH, sometimes a person just gets so used to living in various hellish dimensions that they can forget it isn't normal to look at a snake chair and go "wow, that's annoying." Still, he manages to regain his mental footing quickly enough. It's not just him this time, after all; it's not just his world.]

Well! This city isn't always really kind to the people living in it. Things like this are more common than they should be.

[WELCOME TO CEREAL.]

This is new, but it's not the worst thing they've done.
trafalgar: (pic#8290867)

Re: II

[personal profile] trafalgar 2015-03-23 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He's almost certain that his hopefully-rhetorical question is anything but. This kid definitely wants to murder him, eve though that totally wasn't his fault. Except...y'know, he doesn't exactly sound angry with him, but rather, offers clarity.

He wastes no time in gathering himself onto his feet.]


Is it always like this?

[Fucked up and ridiculous, but he probably doesn't need to elaborate there.]
dimidiampura: (▷ In the eyes of this monster)

[personal profile] dimidiampura 2015-03-23 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ If she said anything other than insisting she was fine, he would have thought it surprising but if she can manage this then it's kind of a relief. She's still the same as he remembered, but he's quickly getting the feeling that it's not the same where it regards him in her eyes.

Something which is more instinct than anything else but he doesn't mention that just yet, watching her for a second or two before his gaze tears away elsewhere. Where would he even start with this? ]


...Ah... I suppose just now... I was surprised by whatever happened when the lights went out. Irritated because I wasn't able to react properly on top of that, either.

[ That's the best she's going to get out of him for now, as he's not about to easily answer the question regarding the reasons behind his white hair and why he's not the same Kaneki she likely remembers. ]
trafalgar: (pic#8957041)

Re: Phase II

[personal profile] trafalgar 2015-03-23 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Talk about looking on the bright side of things. Marco's attitude is almost enough to cancel out the fact that he'd almost been rendered concussed by a hulking monster that's absolutely nowhere to be found now.

What entirely cancels that out, for the moment at least, that Marco is present and a vaguely familiar face is better than none at all.]


You're --

[He glances between those flames and Marco's face...]

They look more like raccoons to me.

[Nailed it.]
bozu: (admiring the view :9)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
Or something else entirely, if we're unlucky - but hopefully one of the other two!

[Can he switch over to her window? Because he's gonna switch over to her window.]

... My my - from up here, this park doesn't seem so bad.
It's even a little lovely, don't you think?
trafalgar: (pic#8957034)

i wish law was corny enough to do the real bonus

[personal profile] trafalgar 2015-03-23 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Who wants a fancy laptop when you can default to a Den Den? Kids these days, overcomplicating everything.]

If you're explaining it like that, you should start from the beginning.

[Who's even Grell??? Gosh.]
fortheprincess: (i know you certainly been gone)

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-23 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yes it is. It's a song called "reis_laugh.mp3" ]

I have to keep saying I'm okay, don't I? [ STOP REMEMBERING he sighs, voice a little harsher this time. ]

...Do you have an idea of what could be going on?
hatsoff: (hooow about this)

[personal profile] hatsoff 2015-03-23 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
[It's Tadashi that moves first. He didn't mind moving back in line, anyway, especially given who he was moving back to join.

Ever since he found himself in this mess, all Tadashi could think about was his family and friends. So seeing Hiro, knowing he was okay? It took a load off his chest. He didn't see any of the others, but it was Hiro, and that took priority in the moment.

It only takes him a moment to step out of line and move past the people between them. When he comes up to Baymax, he barely skips a beat. He pats the robot on the arm, then moves aside to come up to his brother, a grin on his face.]


Hey-- [But then his smile fades as he registers the look on Hiro's. It's almost as if he's...seen a ghost. He had been ready to pull his brother into the biggest bear hug of all time, but the expression on his face was...unsettling.]

...Hiro?

[Fellow neighbors, caprives, comrades... please don't eat him.]

It's nothing like that. [And the fact that he's mistaking a Den Den as a restaurant garners plenty of clarity...in one sense, anyway.

Way to come off as hipster trash immediately, Law.]


How do you communicate with home?
hoasen: (do you need this?)

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-23 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
[I need a download and for it to become everyone's ringtone, stat

And a nod! She doesn't seem at all deterred by his "harsher" tone.]
Yes you do. Although if you just let me see, and confirm that you are okay, then I will not question it anymore. [BARGAINING.]

Unfortunately, not as much as I would like. So far, they keep their secrets well guarded. And that they seem to be more intent on having us just live here like it is normal.
