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 ❅

//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!!!


bozu: (MORE YELLING)

loitering!

[... Well, okay, he was going to go say hello - as he'd planned to do with most everyone here - but seeing Gundam take up any of this cheap food is more than his little heart can handle! Especially after his own experience with it.

So, no matter what Gundam had just bought and planned to eat, it's getting slapped right out of his hand.]


No - no, trust me, you don't want to eat any of this park's garbage!
Eating here would be scraping the very bottom of the barrel... I'm not even sure if their food is even safe for consumption!

[How's that for a hello, Gundam?]
littlestbaskerville: time to kick his butt out of it!! (✿ love‚ pull your sore ribs in.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-23 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Rubbing her butt she looks up at the blond offering her a hand. Really she should have watched where she was going...but details.

Taking the hand she looks at him and then to the fun house.]


I'm okay! Are you new Mister?
allfortheclan: (♊ you get a skeptical eyebrow)

bonus

[personal profile] allfortheclan 2015-03-23 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ Thanks to working in the Pleasure District, he knows what this is. ]

...

[ Eyebrow quirk, but zen-like demeanor otherwise. ]

You're too kind, sir.

I'd rather jump on my own terms than be rolled up in a mechanical death machine. I might even survive, if I land the right way.

[ Well, now that the so-called mechanical death machine is moving, there's really no way for him to jump out of a window now... guess he's in for the ride for the long haul. He'll relax a little bit, though it is hard when you're slowly moving and ascending. ]

Have you been here long? Or did you just arrive, like me?
defeets: (» have i told you lately)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . . ah.

He sighs faintly then before bending his knees until he's closer to her eye level, giving her an easy-going smile.]


Certainly you weren't, princess. But would you like to take my hand anyway? We can try to find a way out of here quickly.
axilium: (maybe i should stop)

phase 3;

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-23 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Not unlike Fuuka, Belph is looking a little beaten up as he takes his snowcone, before he looks in her direction.]

You mean this isn't normally how the holiday's celebrated?

[... Okay, he's mostly joking (although seriously, this 'Christmas' holiday is looking more and more suspicious to him by the moment—).]
stagewright: (SPRITE ► smile small and calm.)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Kind of! You just have to memorize that card for me. Can you do that?

[ An untapped audience...! Truly, every magician's dream. ]
sugarcoats: (018)

you are the devil

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-23 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[It takes him a moment to realize what just happened, but Yogi starts to push both boxes back at him, shaking his head enthusiastically.]

No, no, I've got plenty of cheer, I really don't need these! You can have yours back, thank you anyway!
remainingtwin: (It's like a gamble with no stage)

[personal profile] remainingtwin 2015-03-23 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[She looks rather defeated.] Maybe it's free? [Though she kind of doubts that, looking skeptical at the people walking around happily eating.]

It can't be that hard. Right? [STARING DOWN A CORNDOG... She doesn't even know what that is, but it's food so it has to be decent, right? Mio hugs at her stomach with a wince. At this point tealing looks pretty good.]
bewrightback: (thinking about a puzzle)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
That's very considerate of you, Trucy. [He taps at his chin thoughtfully.]

In that case, I guess I have no choice but to make sure that one lucky guy gets picked. [Is that how whoever picks the lottery winners feels?

He draws a six of spades! Courtesy of random dot org. And he gives it a thoughtful look, as if surveying an important document.]
defeets: (» that was a joke just a joke)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Those were machines.... Okay, sure. He shrugs easily at that though. CERES are... essentially the rulers of this town? That annoys him, but he doesn't see anything he can do about it right now so instead he answers light-heartedly.]

They weren't anything much. No more talented than a bunch of brigands.

Besides that, you're rather strong yourself.

[That's hot.]
candycoating: (Default)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-23 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ Lily, you had probably best get your own. Sharing candy is practically a foreign concept to Gaius, after all, and especially not something that tastes this good. ]

It's weird, but it tastes great. It's light and melty and sweet, and it doesn't taste anything like actual cotton.
punches: (my songs know what you did in the dark)

[personal profile] punches 2015-03-23 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ She asked, didn't she? The girl's reluctance to answer gave Sakura all the knowledge she needed to know that whatever it was she was holding was something that was best kept in the box. Fortunately her jacket was repaired upon arrival so she just tucks it inside one of the inside pockets for now. ]

You don't mind telling me, do you?
remainingtwin: (A BITTER BLOW)

Phase I

[personal profile] remainingtwin 2015-03-23 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
[She shifts in her seat, feeling antsy all of a sudden. The ride had been moving terribly slow to begin with, but it had quite literally stopped this time. For the first time she actually moves to look out the window, since she's spent the entire time staring at the floor with a rather brittle look.]

Maybe? [Trying to shake off her uneasy feelings to actually pay attention to the situation, she leans against the windows, trying to peer down.] Are they letting people off or on?
troubadear: (Genteel not gentle.)

[personal profile] troubadear 2015-03-23 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow, this poor girl looks heartbroken. Clearly she needs some reassurance and comfort or maybe even just some space.

Or perhaps Maribelle should just ignore that.]
A warning like that is hardly helpful, darling. If it is not what it seems, what is it? I have had quite enough unfortunate surprises for one day, I think.
axilium: (why yes elcia is my significant other)

phase i;

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-23 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
[... To be honest, he kind of started tuning Mercury out at some point, but he catches that, at which point he easily interrupts with—]

Resign. Too much work.

Make sure to memorize it super, super hard!

[ Although really, this is one of her simplest tricks...and he's never once caught her messing it up. So Phoenix knows how it goes, and he should know she's just keeping in practice - like doing scales.

And, well, like keeping busy. ]
bewrightback: (sweating bullets)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow. Phoenix just gives a very flat look.]

That- that's good to know? But I kind of mean more in the sense of waking up on another world...
kicksilver: (2. put your junk in that box)

phase i

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-23 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, this guy on the other hand, is totally cool. As Weiss clings onto him, who's just sitting pretty with his arms and legs crossed. But that does send some mild concern, and all he does is re-cross his legs the other way, kicking at the seat before chilling again. ]

You know. I sure wanted more friends from Beacon, but forcing yourself in like this isn't going to work.
impheired: today for ¥90500 and i was like wtf i could get a real skeleton for free, fuck that. then i remembered murder is illegal (stare ♚ i saw a fake skeleton for sale)

punching phase

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-23 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Not exactly being a fan of the robots after his own run-in with one, Kuzuryuu is certainly not going to try and stop Sakura. Instead, he just kind of watches from a few feet away. Okay, yeah, you're gonna punch that thing, sure that's going to be super eff-- dear lord what happened to its head?]

Goddamn, nice shot.

[That's really all he can think to say here. He's actually pretty impressed by that feat there. He's almost tempted to applaud.]
candycoating: (034)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-23 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's not just the two of us. Maybe there's more we just haven't found yet.

[ It's a big place, and there were a lot of people back home, so the idea that only the two of them could show up sounds incredulous to him. ]

But in case it is just us, we probably have an important job to do, here. I'm not thrilled about it, but...
littlestbaskerville: (pic#8737378)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-23 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Lily lets the chain vanish for the moment, it still has that time limit.

Still she stares at the other man's hand and then puts her's out. Another person calling her names like Princess.]


Fine...but I'm not scared. [She has to make a point of that.]
remainingtwin: (I'm possessed again)

[personal profile] remainingtwin 2015-03-23 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[SHE'S GOT ENOUGH BLOOD ON HER HANDS, OKAY.

With a yelp Mio sits up on her knees and shakily reaches out for him.
] H-hey! Hello? [SHAKING HIS SHOULDER] This isn't funny, come on!
sjokolade: (Oh well)

Arrival

[personal profile] sjokolade 2015-03-23 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Despite being shoved into a car along with everyone else, Anna couldn't deny that she was excited. Or at least, she hoped that it would be something exciting. After everything that has happened, the least they could have done was try to do something!

However, as she looked around, she could see there was someone sulking a little bit. Maybe Anna should try to cheer her up?]


Hey, is everything okay?
stagewright: (SPRITE ► le gasp!)

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
This wasn't billed as a horror ride! Where's the truth in advertising?!

[ SHRIEKING INDIGNANTLY in addition to just shrieking what the hell do they do now neither of them are fighters ]
