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.

[Yeah, that's hard to miss.]

I'd show you, but then I would have to strip right here. If you're not opposed to that, I guess I could show you anyway--

[Do you really want her to strip...she's already reaching for a sleeve--]
flaredo: (Let's keep moseying)

[personal profile] flaredo 2015-03-23 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
So do I, but I think Neptune might fight you on that one.

[personal profile] arcanaofdeath 2015-03-23 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Not a whale?

[Granted, Ba'ul doesn't look like a whale but he doesn't look like a dragon either. Then again, Pharos of all people should know that most things aren't the way they seem so he smiles and accepts the answer with a nod.

Judith's ears, on the other hand...]


And you? What are you?
bozu: (um???)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
If he's here, you'll know him when you see him, that's for sure - he's fond of bright jumpsuits, and has the hair to match.

[And shark teeth. But to Teruteru that's not a dental problem, it's a good time --]

But, er... my friends are good people, even if they may not be helpful in a dangerous situation!
So there's no need to think badly of them, despite their inability to, you know. Help.

[Master of the back-handed compliment, yep.]
bewrightback: (let's make criminals look foolish)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[He gives a sheepish aside towards Blackquill.]

What? It's just one of those... um, intimidation tactics you like so much.

[Then he looks back at the robot thoughtfully.]

A tour... is a tour what we want, Prosecutor Blackquill?
ruby_roses: <user name=jjabberboxy> (Ruby - Thinking)

Arrival~

[personal profile] ruby_roses 2015-03-23 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ruby had been hanging around the entrance when she saw the newcomers coming off the bus. Some had already gotten past her view and into the park but she was looking for anyone she recognized. However, when she heard someone mention Christmas, she perked up, wondering just what all the decorations meant.]

Uh... e-excuse me but... you know what all this is about? ...The decorations I mean. I've never really... heard of "Christmas" before...
bozu: (And jalapeños onto skewers)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
... Oho? Expert friends like who?

[Are they cute? Can he meet them??]
niceguypose: (friendly)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-03-23 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, Miss, allow me to enlighten you! We are in the springtime of our youth! It's the time to build bittersweet memories having fun in manners such as this!
immobileyes: (Ke$ha had it right)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2015-03-23 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
No, that's fine! There are probably boys in here!!
deontology: (CII.)

phase iii.

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-23 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well...

Sousei managed to not be propelled out of his seat, but somehow, it wouldn't feel quite right to leave that kid to flail around with his sword and try to...kill all of these robots...

...Hm.

Sousei does finally push himself out of that seat, striding towards Juane with calm, simple strides--and any santa bots that try to get in his way are slammed away with a sword he hasn't even bothered to unsheathe.]


Sheathe your sword--blunt damage is more affective in ridding yourself of them.

[Besides which...it really just can't be good for the sword to try to cut through metal.]
ruby_roses: <user name=jjabberboxy> (Ruby - Thinking)

Bonus. FOR GREAT DORKATUDE!

[personal profile] ruby_roses 2015-03-23 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ruby had spotted Jaune in the crowd and was making her way over to greet her dorkfriend but couldn't help but wonder just what kind of weapon he was holding.]

It's blunt too. Wouldn't even pass as a dagger... Looks like it does something though... maybe you should try turning it on?

[Yeah, sorry Jaune, trying to decipher just what kind of practical purpose a "weapon" like this serves is overriding her excitement to see you. You'll get a hug later, don't worry.]
kicksilver: (so you know what's on my mind)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-23 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
On being honest? How dare he!
yooknowit: (so you can do it if you try!)

[personal profile] yooknowit 2015-03-23 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Another self-declared beauty. At least that helps calm him further...! He lets out a small laugh to her humor, but he won't argue since it's true. ]

I said that, right? So... I'm guessing you're not human.
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[personal profile] dereban 2015-03-23 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Try not to crash head first next time. [ She folds her arms over her chest, a deep sigh slipping from her lips. ]

At least you're alright, though...
shacklebreaker: (eyes closed)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-23 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a pause and his expression darkens. He has no reason to keep his secrets any more, least of all here... But it makes it no easier to discuss.]

I did... My mentor. She has long since departed the world of the living, thus I live and die in service to her daughter instead.
psycholawgy: (easy peasy lemon squeezy)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-23 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
My co-workers!

[ Translation: better come over and apply to find out. This is totally a strategy to get more people to work at the cafe. ]
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[personal profile] dereban 2015-03-23 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not meant to be that way, honestly... It's more of a holiday where children get their wishes granted and get to be happy. Well, it's technically a religious holiday, but I'm not overly familiar with the religion.
yooknowit: (IT'S NOT LIKE I DID IT FOR YOU)

[personal profile] yooknowit 2015-03-23 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Tch! What kind of guy do you take me for!? I'm beautiful enough to satisfy myself for a long time.

[ What a narcissist. Oh, well. At least he's made it clear that he's not the flirty type! Yay? Anyway, he doesn't object with her leading the way! It just meant that she's independent...


Hopefully, anyway. He's met enough people who dive headfirst without thinking much. He quickly follows her, walking by her side now; it's safer to stay closer due to the crowd. ]

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-23 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
You can call him a dragon, but the correct term is Entelexeia.

[ Have fun with that word. ]

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-23 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm Judith. What are you?

[ Judy, behave. ]

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-23 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, I'm not. I'm Krityan. And you are...?
axilium: (rexus pls i am very unsure)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-23 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
... Don't thank me.

[Not when she died. Not when he's withholding information from her.]

Looks like Irina was right when she said mankind was doomed with us at the wheel.

[And distantly, he thinks, Sorry, pal, because Rexus was trusting him with the organization and with the safety of the Time Negotiators (of Elcia) and it really has all turned into a mess because of him.]

[personal profile] fairbrook 2015-03-23 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, so you are familiar with Bram Stoker I take it. It makes for a nice story, does it not?

[Sardonically. Don't talk to her about the book, it's kind of a propaganda in her world.]

As for Professor van Helsing, I am indeed his scion, if that is what you are asking.

[personal profile] arcanaofdeath 2015-03-23 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[That only makes Pharos' smile widen.]

I am Pharos. Nice to meet you.
bewrightback: (some more thought)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
A little too gruesome for my tastes, I'm afraid... [He says quite sheepishly as he considers the implications of her statement.]

So he's a real person then, I take it. Was he just... a normal professor, then?
