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 ❅

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!!!

[Something smells. He can almost feel it in the air just before that voice starts speaking. And then he turns to face him in utter disbelief.]

Larry? Is that you? [He looks distinctly less old... and isn't Christmas supposed to be just days away?!]

[Not this again! He's much more quick this time, and since the mirrors aren't screwing with him, he's able to use touch to figure out where he is. Though it's not helpful in finding an exit, he can only hope he's not going in circles.]

Are you near?

[But like hell he'll leave without her. Maybe he is a little like his stupid brother, but maybe that's how any decent human being should act. Feeling around some more, he bumps into someone, placing a hand on what he assumes as their shoulder.]

I pray that this is a human I've run into and not one of those abominations...

[Sarcasm seething through him right now as he really can't be sure...]

[Rock Lee gasps loudly at the sight of the mustachioed person. There's no one else it could be.]

Dipper-kun?!

You... You've grown up so fast! Ah, the bittersweet touch of youth?!

[He starts crying at them.]

[Souji wrinkles his nose a bit at that question, not exactly looking offended, but there is a hint of derision there all the same. Not towards the other man, but toward the suggestion in itself.]

Having a sword doesn't make anyone a samurai. They were metal-made brutes, nothing more.

[He soothingly strokes Saizō's ears, and receives an extremely disgruntled look in return.]

It really is not very nice to attack people who are strapped in like that.

[WHITE-KNUCKLED AND GRIPPING THE BARS TOO TBH

Actually, that's a lie, Hinata somehow has a dangerous-looking hunting knife out in one of his hands, still poised for danger and staring a little. Where did it go he can't stab it if it's not here--

He's brought out of spider-slaying thoughts, at least, by recognising there's someone nearby as they get off the ride.]
S... so this is what their rides are all about. [Muttering to himself first, though.]

You really fine? It didn't get you?

[Dear Santa... thank you. He's not entirely sure what he could have asked for, but this is beyond what he'd ever want. Is that his heart beating pretty fast? Yep. And a blush on his face, because oh my lord, she is hugging him. And that's her voice telling him it's great to see him.

Thank you, Santa. Thank you.

Though his arms aren't really sure what to do as he drops the gifts in his arms and they hover over her body.

Is this is simulation as well? Is this just something manifesting from all the thoughts he has about her and his desire to see her and have her? He can't be sure after all this.

So to be sure...]

[ Who would cling onto trash like that?! Then again, Nyanperona is trash, too... ]

I see... [ Yogi won't give him the box. He's always been the type that's willing to share, even if the gifts were really stupid. Gareki was only messing around earlier, but now....




he really wanted the box. It's all Yogi's fault for trying to keep the contents a secret and then denying him. That's not going to kill his curiosity at all. ]


I guess I have no other choice. I'll pick it up a new one by myself. Maybe it'll be the same or I'll get something better.

[Shiho would be the first to admit that she was cute, and she wasn't completely unfazed by the compliment. But she's still not that easily impressed. Words were nothing but words, and it was so easy for people to lie. It never boded well for someone faced with a psychometer if they started off lying.

She still smiles, expression open and friendly, as she looks up at him. (How the heck could people even get this tall? ....She wonders if he'd ever walked into low ceilings.)]


Jaune Arc, huh? I'm Sannomiya Shiho.

So.

[She clasps her hands behind her back, watching him with a pair of surprisingly sharp eyes.]

Do you always go around catching things with your face or is this your first time?

You knew I'd get here? What kind of illogical thinking is that? Given the program we saw wouldn't you most likely be mentioning that it's good I'm alive? [Though he's aware it's a simulation too and she's smarter than that.]

I swear...

[Okay it's hard to insult her when he's beaming with happiness THAT SHE IS HUGGING HIM.]

[Elza's just about to enter it, in fact— he's hardly in a carnival mood without Nesso here, but it's gotten around to him that there're new arrivals here. At the very least, he should assure no-one else from Weblin's come.

but what on earth is that]


... [Staring. But then he'll tentatively approach so he doesn't have to worry.] ...Is that your friend?

She feels kind of bad.
.......Kind of.]

[Elza didn't come here in full armour, at least, but he sure brought his longsword and as he sees more people emerging from rides with injuries, he's more and more glad that he did--

Hak draws his eye, him standing outside of the fun house as he is (considering it), and he turns toward him, ears twitching.]


Hey-- Are you all right? [...] This one's dangerous too?
good_ideas: (geez || This takes me back)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2015-03-23 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's kidding. He has to be kidding.]

What kind of a world do you live in where blood goes away on its own?

[She's tempted to put her hand on his arm....but resists. Not unless she has his permission. Or if it looked like he was going to die and saving his life was more important than the possibility of her reading his dirty secrets.]
lionly: (s ↯ and when we kiss)

[personal profile] lionly 2015-03-23 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
They're as helpful as usual...

[Elza couldn't help but overhear Blackquill doing his interrogating thing; chalk it up to little lion ears with good hearing, but that's neither here nor there. And he comments with a frown, arms folded over his chest, longsword nice and secure at his hip.

Since apparently you're better off with a weapon here for some reason. Fantastic.]

[Souji waits patiently, folding himself onto the ground where he is before he has a chance to fall over. He can retain some dignity, at the very least, even if it at the moment isn't much.

He reaches eagerly for the water and gulps it down, almost setting off another coughing fit by doing so, but at the very least he breathes a little easier once he's done. And the taste of blood fades a little bit.

Then he takes a couple of napkins and starts cleaning off his own clothes, trying not to think too hard about how pitiful he must look.]


I hope you don't think this is how I usually introduce myself to people. [A somewhat brittle little laugh.] I don't always have a lot of manners, but this really is a bit too much.

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-23 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Very funny... [ He says it dryly, but appreciates the humor nonetheless. ]

I'll have you know I'm an expert at it. [ Wait, wait. That didn't sound cool at all. Ok, quick, think of something else to say: ] Do... you always throw presents around, or am I your first victim?

Hmph... That would depend on in what ways you can offer help, would it not? I don't need assistance from the local Girl Scouts.

If there's games to go with that TV, then I agree.

[ Wow, now isn't the time to be having this conversation. He didn't have anything clean to wipe the blood away with. Luckily, this is a minor injury. He'll survive. ]

I'll be fine. You should worry about your own injury.

[ Gareki isn't the only one bleeding. He gestures to the exit that's nearby. ]

In case the lights go out again, let's get out of here.

[ It's really strange though. The mirrors had been broken when the lights went out, but everything is fine now. But the both of them ended up getting injured from this... There's no way this was some trick of the mind, unless they really were panicking and running into reach other the entire time. Before the sudden change in tone, this guy was a total wimp. Gareki seriously doubted this person was the one that pulled and mercilessly dragged him around the floor earlier. No offense, Miyamura.

Anyway, he's not going to chance it either. ]
lionly: (f ↯ the most celebrated)

ii

[personal profile] lionly 2015-03-23 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Oof--

[As soon as the lights went out, he'd gone to pull out his longsword. His eyes tend to adjust fast since he's a lion and all, but one tends to be thrown off by something grabbing them and flinging with shocking strength. His longsword had been sent flying, clattering over the floor and then there's something (someone) else hitting into him--]

Not... the last time I checked... [He's slightly winded from the collision, blinking against the sudden light, and looks around for his black-bladed weapon.]

[ Lloyd's not one to be particularly scared of the dark either. but when he's unarmed and is suddenly plunged into darkness and he can practically hear the seat moving beneath him? yeah he's getting antsy.

it doesn't help that the rider that happened to sit next to him is now clinging to him with a deathgrip. as much as he'd love to play hero like the 1741354876 times he's done so before, he kind of needs that limb. ]

[ and release them she does, if only because summoning so many at once after all the physical fighting she's done has proven to be quite taxing on her. with the man otherwise preoccupied, weiss takes advantage of his distraction and slumps back down into the sled's seat as gracefully as she can manage.

she still has a pretty good vantage point to appreciate his handiwork, though, and by the time the last of the santas crash into each other, and they're left alone once more, weiss lets out a content little sigh. ]


Not bad.

[ What?! ]

How very brusque of you.

[ Mitsuru reigns her temper in, standing just a tad straighter and her stare a little more icy. ]

Are you this way to everyone or simply anyone who is helpful?
