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 ❅

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.

[ ah. ]

Thank you...

[ well, it's a free snow cone and now she has two. once the robot leaves, fuuka seems to remember something, turning back to leia. ]

Sorry to trouble you, but would you mind telling me about this place? I just got here a little bit ago... is it true that we can't go home?
verified: (& there's no one)

[personal profile] verified 2015-03-23 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe.

[ she wouldn't doubt it at this point. the snake thing from the ferris wheel seemed oddly suspicious too. she looks up at jude with worry, glancing around them. ]

I think we should find our way out as soon as possible... something strange might happen.
verified: (but i will never do you wrong)

[personal profile] verified 2015-03-23 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
A-Ah!

[ that was definitely not what she expected. she pushes against the snowman on instinct, fighting her way out of the hug as she stumbles back a step. she turns to yosuke quickly, ]

Sorry, are you okay?

[ at least the bot lets go of him fairly quickly. she gives him a quick once over just to make sure he's fine. ]
hatsoff: IS IT SHORT FOR SOMETHING?? (what does baymax mean anyway?)

[personal profile] hatsoff 2015-03-23 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Tadashi didn't mean to buy the last of the cotton candy. Honestly, if he had known it was the last, he wouldn't have bought as much as he did.

So when he's suddenly being yelled at, he's taken aback, mostly because he has yet to know why.]


Um...can I help you? [just casually gonna shift some of the stuff around his arms while he tries to figure out why there's yelling??]
buildyourworld: (How dare you)

pre-phase

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-23 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ Bump into a sane person he did. ] Don't wonder around and don't scan anything until I'm sure you're not going to pick up anything strange. [ A sane person talking to a bouncing round robot to be precise. ]

[ The pink Haro responds, in full understanding, flapping it's ears in a rather high pitch robotic voice. ] Roger! Roger!

[ Meanwhile, Tieria has turned around to stare at whoever bumped into him. ]
fortheprincess: (and i got a better body)

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-23 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ VERY DOOMED INDEED He watches her as she inspects his leg. He wants to protest again...but there's really no getting through to her. Women...so stubborn, sometimes. But he finally does as she says and sits down on the ground, letting her look at the wound. ]

I'm looking for someone. Her name is Yona. Tiny, short red hair, has bags under her eyes all the time... Have you seen her around?

[ Might as well ask because he's got no leads on her presence at all. Losing Yona is another thing he can't risk, and at least if she's here, he can protect her. ]

If she's here, then they aren't being entirely honest.
hatsoff: (smug ii: the smuggening)

[personal profile] hatsoff 2015-03-23 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Tadashi can't help but chuckle as he nods in agreement.]

You said it. This is going to be a hard choice.

[...Unless he gets a little bit of everything. That could totally work, right?]
hatsoff: (❝what do you say big guy?❞)

[personal profile] hatsoff 2015-03-23 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Tadashi had kind of hoped he'd get the car to himself, but he really didn't notice anyone else had entered, not until Elsa spoke up.

He dropped his hands from his face, and after clearing his throat, ran a hand through his hair and replaced his hat on his head.]


Yeah. Yeah, I'm-- fine.

[Probably not as convincing as he was going for, but at this point, he's only really concerned about keeping it together for Hiro, and he's already put a lot of energy into that for today.]
spiritpearls: (SMILE ► pleased)

[personal profile] spiritpearls 2015-03-23 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
They really were, it didn't seem like we had a choice in the matter...

[ It better be somewhere not-terrible. Pearl is assuming not, really. It seems like they went to some trouble to get them here, why take them somewhere awful? ]

I think I've spotted a couple of people! It's good to know people I know are around... [ There's so many AA's here it's impossible not to, ok. ] Have you?
hatsoff: (lol ok)

[personal profile] hatsoff 2015-03-23 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Seeing he made someone smile helps. This is a lot for all of them, not just him, after all. And while he may not actually grasp the actual meaning of what she says, he's played enough video games over the years to catch on to the point.]

A game. You know, that's the one thing I didn't think of. I was leaning more towards something right out of a comic book. Or a horror movie, even.
good_ideas: (oh god || Hang in there Minamoto!)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2015-03-23 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Shiho would have told him that never in the history of the world was "hello" an acceptable thing to say when the windows were darkening around you and a girl had just grabbed onto your arm.

Unless this was supposed to be some kind of romcom-horror movie and she didn't want to be in one with an 80-year-old lolicon.

But despite the rising panic and that knee-weakening thought that ghosts were here (and everywhere...she tried not to think about that), she can feel that the person here with her was blocking her.]


...who are--

[The windows darken completely and she tightens her grip. Whoever he was, it was fine! As long as he wasn't a ghost and she sacrificed him first!]
beaconed: (pic#8879217)

phase iii

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-23 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Here's Jaune, somehow enjoying himself far less than the busty elf-eared lady (your words!). As one of the Santas sees an opening to attack Judith from behind, Jaune throws himself between her and the sword, effectively blocking the blow with his shield. ]

Ugh-- c'mon, they didn't even advertise this!!
buildyourworld: (Be quiet)

pre-phases

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-23 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Tieria is busy trying not be angry at this whole situation and just concentrate on figuring out just what happened to his Gundam that is now sitting on his lap in the wrong size with a sedentary Haro. He turns around when he's addressed, though he looks entirely unpleasant and should probably be left alone instead. ]

Whoever put it together ought to be fired.

[ It was boring and contains little to no useful information. ]
beaconed: (pic#8879230)

bonus

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-23 09:12 am (UTC)(link)
--oof!

[ Shiho's present lands square in Jaune's face, making him lose balance and fall over. ]

I'm okay! [ But nobody asked. ]
hatsoff: (how to best con my bro into college)

[personal profile] hatsoff 2015-03-23 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Tadashi wasn't trying to bother anyone, honest. When they got higher up, he even tried to enjoy the sights. It was a nice looking city, but the futuristic tone of it reminded him of home, and his thought pattern only spiraled from there.

He didn't realize the girl was talking to him at first. Once his mind finally caught up and processed this, he turned to her, blinking in surprise.]


Nothing. Well, everything, to be honest, but I-- don't want to talk about it right now.

[Even if he did talk about it, he didn't know how he felt. He was still trying to process it all. Learning his world and everything he loved had been destroyed was enough bad news. But he died too, and how he felt about his loved ones right now was what he did to them.]
hoasen: (do you need this?)

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-23 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
[THE BEST KIND OF DOOM THOUGH i submit And yes good, one to Vietnam, zero to Hak (0.5 though, she didn't do the bandage thing as quickly as she would've liked). But at least she finally got through to him, even though he is uncouth enough to just randomly sit down. She's not complaining as she inspects his leg.

Hmm, not so bad, but he uses his leg more than he would his face. Just let her look for a larger bandage in her bag (wow).]


Yona? [She pauses only to think about this. Nothing connects right now. All the red heads she knows right now have long red hair too.] I haven't seen her, unfortunately. Or fortunately if she's still at home.

What would happen if she is here?
good_ideas: (geez || Just plain wrong)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2015-03-23 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
[If this was Minamoto here (if Minamoto were here and wasn't gone), Shiho would have flushed pink at the insinuation that this thing was hers. He's not though, so she simply looks put out, crossing her arms.]

Of course not! It's just some dumb gift that the tin can trying to dress like a middle-aged non-existent fairytale wanted me to take!

[And since Kaoru was the one who touched it last, it was now his. Enjoy.]
ukakus: ( official art: manga ) (062)

[personal profile] ukakus 2015-03-23 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
...Were you? [There's something in her tone that makes it pretty obvious that she wanted to hear something beyond that. The way he says that is just — it's not right. It's not Kaneki. The whiny, confusing co-worker she left back home wouldn't have phrased it like that. It leaves a weird feeling in the pit of her stomach.

But she's not giving up on getting the answers she wants out of him, even if it's going to be slow and a little bit like pulling teeth. She makes a point out looking him straight in the eye. He can avert his gaze all he wants, but she's nothing if not persistent... and also very testy.

Let's play a game of how long she can keep this up before snapping at him.]


Tch... So, what? Stop making that annoying face. Whatever that damn thing was, I wasn't able to react properly either. [She's willing to sacrifice her pride a little here, so he better stop being so... weird.]
hatsoff: (certified cutie)

[personal profile] hatsoff 2015-03-23 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
[To be fair, he's seen weirder looking people.

Okay, so they were in video games and movies, but still. Regardless of what she looked like, she was there too, stuck in the same situation of finding our her home was destroyed by other creatures - said aliens.]


I take it you're not buying it?

[Because that's what that sounds like to him. He still doesn't know what he thinks, but he's very curious to hear her thoughts now.]
good_ideas: (geez || just when it was getting good)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2015-03-23 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
You were the last person who touched it so it's yours now.

[Dropping and throwing and offering are interchangeable as long as she could argue it.]

If anyone should get harassed, it should be you.
hatsoff: (do you think "awesome" begins with an o)

[personal profile] hatsoff 2015-03-23 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
[SUDDEN CHILD APPEARED. But Tadashi laughs, amused by the whole situation, but especially the kid's help.]

Oh yeah? I'm honestly scared to ask, but what's wrong with the hotdogs?

[He likes hotdogs and was thinking about grabbing one. PLEASE TELL HIM IF HE'S GOING TO GET FOOD POISONING he's having a bad enough day already.]
good_ideas: (geez || ew. and in class too?)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2015-03-23 09:31 am (UTC)(link)
[That could only have been funnier if he'd managed to catch it in his mouth. (It was new and everything, Shiho was certain of that.)

She bends over him, head tilted to one side.]


You don't look okay. I didn't throw it that hard.

[She doesn't offer her hand for him, though. There were things psychometers could do without repercussions, and there were things she could not and should not do.]
scaryintuition: (pic#8950078)

[personal profile] scaryintuition 2015-03-23 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
Which is exactly why we should remain calm and stay where we are. As uncomfortable as this all is, I'd rather not have to deal with it and the car rocking at the same time.

[Not that he thinks she's about to lunge for the car door or anything. But you never know, people do crazy things when in a panicked state of mind.]
ukakus: ( official art: manga ) (062)

[personal profile] ukakus 2015-03-23 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
[That kind of response is never good. Did someone die? Or is this guy just the type to take their situation really, really badly? Whatever it is—well. It's not her business. But now that they're talking, she'd feel kind of like a jerk if she just dropped it. Great.

Whatever. She can consider this her good deed for the month. Something to balance everything else she's done and will do.]


I see. [She can take a hint.] So what do you want to talk about, then? And don't say "nothing". If you keep making that face, you're going to ruin the view.

[She could have phrased this nicer, but being nice is for chumps.]
scaryintuition: (pic#8950073)

[personal profile] scaryintuition 2015-03-23 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Hide didn't think it was safe to take any pets with you on amusement park rides, but he's not one to judge. Aside from being shaken up the pig didn't look any worse for wear as he drank the water down.]

So...you were attacked by samurai robots? [The words sound ridiculous as they leave his mouth. But after all that he's seen that day...this somehow didn't seem like the strangeness. Maybe it's because he didn't actually witness it himself.]
