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)

//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!!!

[That's a boy--who she was actually beckoning to--and a dragon (who she was certainly not beckoning to. For a moment, she blinks slowly, trying to process this situation, and because of that, she only half-hears Hiccup's response, eyes on Toothless as they are.]

Huh?

[...]

Oh. Right. I was in a bit of a tight spot before I ended up here. [Idly, she pokes her finger through a stab hole in her dress, thoughtful.]

Seems everything is fine now, though.
flaredo: (Hark!  The herald Weiss shrieks!)

[personal profile] flaredo 2015-03-23 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
So spoke the humble one.

Phase 2

[personal profile] ruby_roses 2015-03-23 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ruby had been wandering the fun house, feeling oddly at home. The singing reindeer were new, but the snowy forest, shadowy monsters and howling all kind of reminded her of the forest she made routine visits to. Of course being reminded of that place only caused her to pull her cape closer around her and make sure her hood was covering as much of her face as possible. However, when the lights go out, her mind snaps into Huntress mode, especially when she hears Rise call out, she has her own weapon in her hands in an instant.]

Stay down, I'll take care of this!

[And she launches into action, moving to where she thought the sound came from, and started swinging the scythe, gunfire and metallic slicing noises filling the air. Once the lights come on though, there's a 15 year-old girl with a massive scythe looking around seemingly kind of confused.]

...Well that was a thing...
compossible: (Magic A Is Magic A)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Holy smokes don't just...start motherhenning her like that!!!

She blinks at him, and then looks down at her dress, and then--]


It isn't as if I enjoy walking around in a blood-soaked dress. Trust me, this isn't my fashion statement.

[She just didn't really have the chance to do anything about it, given how the entire...robots shoving them onto buses thing worked.]

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-23 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She's used enough to Karol that small boys fail to bother her, so Judith merely smiles and gives the dragon another pat, earning herself a low croon. ]

His name is Ba'ul... as to what he is, you could call him a dragon to spare your tongue.
compossible: (Narnia Time)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Wrong!

[Ah...at least she sounds cheerful enough for the fluffering girl. Because she's cute....... admittedly, she looks cute all flustered like that too.]

I'm perfectly fine. Singing creatures aside--they're kind of starting to give me a headache. How about you?

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-23 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
You've never seen a pretty girl with pointy ears before, I take it.

[ Are you okay there-- ]

shacklebreaker: [bullshit prison story goes here] (an inmate in the clink once said...)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-23 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[That earns an amused snort.] Most assuredly not. They are my foes on the legal battlefield, and many a time we have crossed blades.
yooknowit: (aw you little bastard.)

[personal profile] yooknowit 2015-03-23 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I see... Thanks!

[ Yoon will definitely look up the recipe for "TUNNEL CAKE" later. He has a confirmation of how it tastes like too, although he could tell judging from the toppings. Much appreciated for extending his knowledge, dear sir...! It's fine even if he searches it like that; a search engine's suggestions is pretty damn good. All is well.

He waits for Koujaku to swallow his food before talking to him further. He knows manners well, this one. After a while, he looks back at the menu and ponders. ]


I prefer to eat sweets only once in a while, so that's a good thing to know. I wonder what I could get...
ruby_roses: (Ruby - :D)

Bonus. Because I'm a horrible person.

[personal profile] ruby_roses 2015-03-23 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ruby hadn't bothered getting a gift, just because she was content with her haul of snowcones and cotton candy, but she did see that look Pyrrha gave her, and got curious.]

Oh, hey Pyrrha!

...what'cha get? I've seen a lot of people being unhappy with their stuff, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was giving everyone the same thing.
bewrightback: (sheepish)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's not sure if that's a coincidence or not... considering how many people he regularly meets with oddly coincidental names.]

Nice to meet you, um... Sir Hellsing?

You wouldn't happen to have any famous relatives, would you...? [That seems like the subtler way to ask.]
immobileyes: (Let's look at the door)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2015-03-23 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm fine, I think... this place isn't very fun, though.

[ She's still kind of peering for injuries. ]
compossible: (You Can't Fight Fate)

poor poor cowrude

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[She is here to make everyone's lives hard, mostly--but as soon as Kaoru is calling out to her, she crosses her arms, turning to look at him thoughtfully. Not... human. Okay. That makes him one in a crowd of many, apparently. That's not something she was expecting, but she also really doesn't...care......

Ah well, that's the Elcia life.]


So if I'm not injured, I should go further in? I'm not sure if that's the best advice either, but I'll keep it in mind.
bewrightback: (is there something on my face)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
And you remember mine. That makes us even, I guess. [He says that with a joking smile. He thinks he can remember just enough to check in on her.]

How have you been holding up?

compossible: (Time Travel Exemption)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow. Do you always try to pick up strange, blood-covered girls on first meeting?

[Not that...she's going to say no. It's probably safer in company, though she doesn't intend to trust him either. At the very least, he looks entertaining enough, right?]
lionly: (c ↯ that promise too?)

[personal profile] lionly 2015-03-23 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Elza chuckles--] I see... So he's young.

If I can ask... what is he? He looks... sort of like a dragon, but different from the kinds we'd have in our stories back home. [And they were definitely only stories.]
bewrightback: (thoughtful | thoughts might not be serio)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Er, well, yeah, that thought has been on my mind. I don't really know what it's like outside of this weird fair...
yooknowit: (one day they will stop calling me shota.)

[personal profile] yooknowit 2015-03-23 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's too late! Now she will have to deal with him, because he surely won't leave a lady in trouble. :v ]

Good. No objections then, right? [ gesturing to the direction of the shopping area first... ] Come on.
ruby_roses: (Ruby - ...what?)

Phase 2

[personal profile] ruby_roses 2015-03-23 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[When the lights come back on, Yosuke may see a tiny girl with a massive scythe in her hands looking around like she's about to shoot something. For Ruby this one was a little too close to home. She doesn't see him immediately, but she's not lowering her weapon for the moment.]
psycholawgy: (arrghhh barghhh)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-23 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh, you asked for it.



[ With a matching pointing and accusatory finger.

This is totally getting a lot of attention from the other people in line, oops. And Athena quickly hides her face in her hands in shame. ]


... oh my gosh, I shouldn't have done that!
compossible: (Reluctant Mad Scientist)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll look forward to hearing about our incompetent malevolent overlords.

[She says that so nonchalantly too...ah well. It's something, at least, and she'll get to hear it from someone eloquent and clearly righteous about it, which will make it more fun.

Being lent one of Natalia's dresses, though...]


I'm not opposed, necessarily, but do you think they'll let us leave that easily? They were pretty pushy about getting us all in here. I'd hate to cause trouble.

[that is a fat, bloody lie.]
lionly: (s ↯ cause the world might do me in)

[personal profile] lionly 2015-03-23 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Listening attentively, Elza hums. Yeah, that sounds like knights, if perhaps with even more loyalty. Rectify dishonour with death, hm... Yes, that's above even the knights of Weblin.]

Do you have a lord or someone that you follow, then?
kicksilver: (gonne give you something)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-23 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
They say honesty is the best policy. I gotta agree with 'em.
compossible: (Time Travel Exemption)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright, alright... here's hoping you're not some crazy murderer or something that preys on blood-covered and confused girls.

[She's joking. Honestly. Because she's moving towards that shopping area without waiting to see if he'll lead the way or not.

Good luck, Yoon....]
ruby_roses: (Default)

Phase 2, Han is more than welcome to join in~

[personal profile] ruby_roses 2015-03-23 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[As soon as the lights go out, Ruby reaches for her scythe, and at several points, muzzle flares on the weapon can be seen. Once the lights come back on though, she has the scythe out in a fighting stance, scanning the area for monsters, though she seems unaware of just how close she is to anyone else at the moment. She's just too focused on finding whatever came out to attack.]
