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.

[The sword is what first grabs her attention, eyeing it apprehensively, but the panicking piggy is what actually holds her there.]

Uh-- Yeah, sure! [It's easier to jump into action when she's been given an order, and she hurries to the nearest vendor to grab a bottle of water and a cup. When she returns, she pours the water into the cup and crouches down next to Souji and offers them both.]

Is he going to be okay? I don't think rides like these are the best places for animals...
psycholawgy: (and every night there is music)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-23 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ No shit, Sherlock. Athena knows that much. ]

I know, but it doesn't mean that I'd be good at it.

Kind of like how you know you can wash the dishes, but you don't know if you're an expert at washing the dishes. For all you know, you're missing spots everywhere.

What are you doing walking around in those!?

[ Elcia, please... There's NPC children around!! Plus, it'll be a nightmare to do laundry once the blood completely dries up! Yoon hasn't noticed any injuries from her (as a result of already being healed earlier on), so he wonders how did she receive blood on her dress. He doesn't want to find out... Maybe someone beside her got badly cut up. (tears.gif) The rides around here are horrible, after all. ]

There's a laundry service by the pool attractions. We'll take your dress there after buying a new one first.

[ We hope that she wouldn't mind the company of a mother hen. ]
masakados: (to lecture to us in monotone)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-23 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's panicked... Even if it comes out with that tone and phrased like that, there's absolutely no missing the emotion. Naoki's body is a little more attuned to picking up on it than most. When Koujaku's pulled back, Naoki watches him with a inscrutable expression.

--He's still a little stunned that Koujaku tried to protect him.]


Are you okay? [No you probably shouldn't bypass everything else, Naoki--but that's his major concern here.]
fairbrook: mignonette; art © solid&etc; (♕ He is handling the money;)

[personal profile] fairbrook 2015-03-23 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Follow me. I don't know how long it will until these apparitions reemerge.

[As Phoenix takes her hand, she presses the cross pin into his palm as if urging him to take it.]

You'll want to make certain you aren't concussed.

[Totally not fretting or anything...]
bozu: (uhh....)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well then, shes going to get stared at for just a moment, as he tries his best to see if she's lying or not - which is something he can't even really do, so he'll have to take her word for it...]

... Alright, but...
How am I supposed to live in a city like this, if it's that dangerous?
I-I can't even run very long, or do more than a couple pull ups!

["A couple" meaning "one".]
psycholawgy: (/defeatedly gazes at moon)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-23 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ High class... in-house restaurant... high class hotel. High class hotel. THIS GUY MUST HAVE HAD A BAD CHILDHOOD TO THINK OF IT AS HIGH CLASS.

But she wipes away her tears when she's consoled, then gives him a pat on the shoulder, too. ]


It's okay. As long as you love what you're doing... I won't judge you.

[ Sniff. ]
shacklebreaker: wait that's edgeworth's thing (ngoooooooooooh!!)

Scary bird-man...? [WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP CALLING HIM A BIRDMAN]

I CAN ANSWER ENQUIRIES ON HOW TO GET AROUND THE PARK
IF I GIVE YOU A TOUR, WILL YOU GIVE ME A HUG?


[The Snowtron 5000 wheels over to Phoenix. Apparently the robot really wants that hug.]

[ it's a boy and his dragon that elcia's beckoned to here, and they both are quite obviously concerned at her current state of dress (and the fact she called the roller coaster of all things boring). or, well, the state of her dress. and it might be more accurate to say that it's hiccup that looks Quite Concerned; toothless is more. well, he's lowering down to the ground a tad, wary.

people covered in blood are usually!!! bad news!! ]


Uh. Noted. [ right, talking to him, she's talking to him. his eyes linger on the ride she's referring to, then the blood, before he moves to her face, lowering the notebook he was writing in just before this whole awkward... thing. he's still looking a tad... confused. concerned. brows raised. ] It's a first for both of us, I guess. I mean, I've never seen a girl in that much... red before.

[ "red" is a euphemism and he is making it very obvious that it's a euphemism. ]
bewrightback: (smile)

presents wild card

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Phoenix is talking a walk around while Trucy is on a ride, keeping an eye out for familiar faces; and he smiles when he finds one, even if she doesn't seem to be in the highest of spirits.]

Rei, right?
bozu: (um???)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[B-BUT ONLY HIGH QUALITY LOVE HOTELS HAVE IN HOUSE RESTAURANTS...
also he's a kid from the countryside do you think he knows what a love hotel is like]


Of course!
Of course - as long as I'm in a kitchen, working to lovingly reshape ingredients with my own hands, then I'll enjoy nearly any job!

[Pat pat, please no more crying he doesn't know how to console girls that aren't his mom -]
kicksilver: (011)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-23 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ GOODBYE INDEED. ]

Oh! [ She's right. Tough luck, Merc. He holds out a hand to her. It's gloved, but he's totally welcoming and all that, so who cares if she won't be able to shake his actual hand. ] My name's Mercury. Hi there.
bewrightback: (is there something on my face)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Concussed? [I ran into a mirror.] That might be a valid concern....

[He'll take the cross pin in hand even if he doesn't know what to do with it. Don't tell me she's spreading the Christmas spirit, too... But at these close quarters, she's starting to be recognizable to him. He tries to piece together his vague recollections of that movie theatre.]

You smoke, right...?
lionly: (c ↯ that promise too?)

[personal profile] lionly 2015-03-23 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[He was focused enough on that-- dragon?--that he hadn't looked at Judith properly, but when he does he blinks. Caught off guard. But then he smiles, bringing up his fist to his chest, all courtesy.]

This seems like a rare opportunity, so I'd be honoured.

[A beat and he adds, looking between her and Ba'ul:] I'm Elza Clifford.
kicksilver: (so just sit down and listen)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-23 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, cool. Yang.

[ He nods, as if jotting down the name in his head. ]

That dance was fun, by the way. Great job.
flaredo: (Suh-weet!)

[personal profile] flaredo 2015-03-23 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I'm just glad you were able to make it.
hoasen: (contemplation)

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-23 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[We will see each other again soon, world.

Haha sucked in Merc. Though she's not complaining about a gloved hand or anything, it's cold and everything. She just reaches out with her own and shakes it gently.]
It is nice to meet you, Mercury. My name is Vietnam.
faithfulflame: <user name=cupcake-graphics> (Priestess Wait!)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-23 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fortunately for Yosuke, Rei’s aware enough of her surroundings even in the dark that the spike of anger she feels coming from his sense is enough to warn her. She leans forward enough to let his fist miss her and smack into the seat behind her. Which normally probably would’ve stung a bit because it was metal covered in cushioning…but he definitely hits something.

Something that starts to wriggle and writhe, like a mass of worms.]


Hey! Watch where you’re punching!

[The creep factor of the neck thing is immediately, apparently, replaced by anger.]
kaba: (✿ That was the highlight of my day)

[personal profile] kaba 2015-03-23 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Welp. Guess people aren’t that big on listening to him lately. But if Naoki’s really curious, his markings had a lot to do with it. Sure, not every guy with—those are tattoos, right?—tattoos have been forced to have them. But still… ]

Am I okay— [ Whoops, is his voice getting shrill? Yes, better tone that down. Yes.

He sighs. ]


Yeah, I’m fine. None of those things got to you, did they?
kicksilver: (010)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-23 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He makes a rather confused face at the "san", but he just takes it as some kind of verbal tic. Who knows, right? ]

Hmmm! I bet the events get crazy weird, huh?
faithfulflame: (Rei Amused)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-23 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Given cause, when there aren’t reindeer and bad music, Rei would flatly inform him that she too, can be terrifying. Usagi-chan would confirm this.

As it stands though, she huffs a faint laugh, amused and bitter at the same time.]


I guess that’s what they call an earworm. I’ve never really experienced any of that for more than a few hours, thankfully. And never with Christmas songs. But then I suppose that the point is probably to get us at ease after our arrival. [Not that the ferris wheel incident was any less shocking or any more reassuring.]
faithfulflame: (Rei Smarmy)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-23 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[She is something, alright. Now that determination and bravery will melt into anger and embarrassment the minute she opens her candy cane vibrator, but that’s to be expected.]

Murderous ghosts.

[She doesn’t even sound like that’s all that strange. Her tone is flat, neutral, almost bland.]

[Dryly she adds] Delightful. Was it anything like the encounters on the rides today?
faithfulflame: <user name=cupcake-graphics> (Priestess Arms Folded)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-23 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rei turns to look at the stranger. And looks up, and up, and up. Marco, why are you so freakishly tall?

Still, she folds her arms right back.]


Do they not strike you as somewhat artificial?


faithfulflame: (Priestess Cute ?)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-23 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rei eyes England cautiously, with a flicker of recognition in her eye as well. It’s vague, hazy, like the memories of a time long forgotten, and that sets her on edge. But she huffs a genuine enough laugh at the observation.]

So do you. So does everyone here, I think.
