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.

[He sighs.]

Don't worry. I'll be more careful about running headlong into things in the future... [Maybe I'm getting too old for this.]

So did you just witness my run-in with that mirror... or did you see what was happening before that?
flaredo: (Hark!  The herald Weiss shrieks!)

[personal profile] flaredo 2015-03-23 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, right? It's a shame he's not here to learn the error of his ways.
bozu: (well if you ask me...)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah - aha, I see what you're doing!
Alright, alright. I'll try for the position as soon as I am able!

But in return, you introduce me to your cute friends, how about that?

[Or he could, y'know, start hitting on Athena herself.]
compossible: (Stable Time Loop)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Re...ally...........

She glances at him at that, for a moment considering that. He seems...too innocent somehow to have meant it that way.

She's gonna tease him.]


Oh...! Sorry, I didn't realize you were in a relationship like that.

[with yourself]

I definitely don't want to get in the way of such a beautiful love story.
Edited 2015-03-23 18:02 (UTC)

[personal profile] brbwalking 2015-03-23 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
And you too, Pharos. Did Ba'ul bring you over, or are you lost?
swordboning: (wading in shit creek)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-23 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll have to try to decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I'm sure you don't mean literally since Athena tends to get frightened at the mention of swords.
compossible: (You Already Changed The Past)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm.

[that doesn't really bug her either, but--]

I suppose that's true. So you'll just have to take my word for it, okay?
swordboning: (pic#8713735)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-23 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
It's mostly a high tech city. Depending on the era you're from, it's oppressive high in technology or perhaps even just normal. There are a lot of knockoff places you might recognize, which would make things seem a little familiar.
troubadear: (Disgusted noise)

[personal profile] troubadear 2015-03-23 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm quite sure I do not know what you mean, darling. [Huff. She's perfectly considerate of the lower classes!] It's only natural for a woman of my breeding to understand nobility perfectly and speak appropriately of anyone I may meet.
troubadear: (I suppose you'll do.)

[personal profile] troubadear 2015-03-23 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
... Just Maribelle will do, darling. If it is a little too long for you then I don't mind giving lessons in pronunciation- though you managed just fine the first time.

[Though nicknames are cute... But so improper!]
troubadear: (How dreadfully exciting!)

[personal profile] troubadear 2015-03-23 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Fireworks? [Sounds a bit too excited and immediately calms herself. She's not a child, after all.] Oh, how lovely. I suppose they may very well consider this to be a celebration of sorts.
troubadear: (Troglodyte.)

[personal profile] troubadear 2015-03-23 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I assure you, darling, the only one you need be concerned about is whoever dares to cross me. I shan't tolerate being taken advantage of in such a situation.

... I do thank you for your consideration, of course.

[personal profile] arcanaofdeath 2015-03-23 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
It was your dragon.

[Why lie? He was wondering if Ba'ul was a Shadow or a Persona but...]

...or would it make more sense for me to be lost?
troubadear: (It's only natural.)

[personal profile] troubadear 2015-03-23 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Don't worry, Kaoru, Maribelle will protect you.]

Yes, I arrived just today. I am willing to make some allowances for accidental inconsiderate behaviour, but if unpleasantness is the norm then I must say I am most displeased. Simply because we are apparently in such dire circumstances is no excuse for discourtesy.
troubadear: (You're cute.)

[personal profile] troubadear 2015-03-23 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Truly? Do you usually plan your nostalgia in advance, sir?
troubadear: (A lady's spare time is her own.)

[personal profile] troubadear 2015-03-23 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I highly doubt it, darling. [Though, Lissa would probably enjoy this...] Though quaint and charming, this hardly strikes one as a noble occasion.
troubadear: (My gratitude.)

[personal profile] troubadear 2015-03-23 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
You can leave that to me, darling. [MARIBELLE THE PEOPLE PERSON?] Of course we can only recruit the most noble and admirable sorts of allies. We have an image to uphold, after all. It wouldn't do to consort with unsavory types.

... So I trust you shall be on your best behaviour.
flaredo: (Did someone say DECORATING?)

[personal profile] flaredo 2015-03-23 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not about to judge 'em without meeting 'em first! Don't worry.

[ She's pretty open-minded, this one. ]
compossible: (Ripple Effect Proof Memory)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Too late. [She just grins weakly at him then.] I already did.

[And she'd do it again, too, even knowing all of that. But still... that much gets a soft laugh out of her, even as she shakes her head.]

It would've gone to her head if she heard you ever saying she was right.

[...so don't do that. It's too strange.]

Now come on, let's find a way out of this place. It's weird.
bozu: (Soak 8 wooden skewers)

phase iii; i thought of something lmao

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[So, Souda - remember those Snowbots? With their constricting hugs?

Well, imagine that but a lot shorter. Because if there's one person Teruteru would recognize immediately, it's Mr. Neon.]


You're here, too! And here I thought I was all alone!
Mmhmhm, I'm so happy!

[- Well no, he knew Hinata and Peko and Komaeda were here, but he's gonna fudge it to make it seem like the hug is warranted and not at all just because he wants to.]
yooknowit: (check out my pink feathers)

[personal profile] yooknowit 2015-03-23 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Kri... Krityan?

[ Another term that he's unfamiliar with... Well, that's given. He's never seen one of her kinds before. Maybe she's from another world altogether.

But he's so curious. The way his eyes glimmer after hearing the formal term is evident. ]


What about your friend here? Are you two from the same world?
shacklebreaker: (looking away)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-23 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[The smirk vanishes from his expression, and he suddenly seems uncomfortable.]

...She has her reasons for it. Are you a friend of Athena's?
niceguypose: (concerned)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-03-23 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Er... Well, it's best to appreciate the days of our youth while we still have them! Wouldn't you agree?
bozu: (so i remembered the mangas exist)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, phew...
In that case, don't judge Hinata-kun too strongly when you meet him, okay?
He's a little plain. I'm sure you understand.

[The others can take care of themselves, but someone's gotta look out for the average friend, right??]
fairbrook: narben of lj; (Because it's not my home;)

[personal profile] fairbrook 2015-03-23 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods to him. This is less about her family than it is about its portrayal of Dracula. She's kind of bound to the blood-sucker, after all.]

My grandfather was a biologist, and made a name for himself in the field for his studies of life alchemy.

[Hence, why she is able to control a scary vampire.]
