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 ❅

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.

punchesyu: (something about a beef bowl)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-23 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Y-Yeah, I'm alright. [He didn't blow it did he?]

And yeah, I'm new. Still trying to figure out how they thought it was a great idea to throw me on a bus right after I got here. You know. With the whole story they give you when you get here.

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-23 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Look, if I'm going to eat something, I'll absolutely judge it by it's scent, and this just isn't appetizing. But hey, if you think it is, you can have it.
puerilely: maybe he's born with it maybe it's maybelline (cutest little shit of the sengoku era)

phase ii

[personal profile] puerilely 2015-03-23 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That kind of behaviour definitely isn't human. Humans don't have discolored eyes, humans don't heal on their own. But despite that last fact, this guy doesn't feel like a demon either..

.. so what is he?

It's enough to pique Shuu's interest, at the very least, and he's not even being particularly subtle in the way he's stalking the other through the funhouse, managing to deal with the spectres without even really looking at them. He just has eyes for Ken, and when the other turns a corner in the funhouse, he manages to catch up with him, grinning widely. There's something oddly innocent in it, like a little kid, but at the same time something.. off. ]


He-y, is there a problem..?
beaconed: (039)

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-23 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? I heard mistletoes are supposed to be hung up high. How would two people know that they're compelled to kiss otherwise?
candycoating: (Default)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-23 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
It's pure sugar? How do they get it to this cotton shape? If the future is full of sweets like this, maybe it's not going to be so bad being here.

[ Optimism! At least for a little while, or as long as the cotton candy lasts. ]

Do they have any other strange sweets like this, here?
poised: (✰ i'm kind of a big deal)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-23 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[That much manages to earn a wave of Natalia's hand. Elcia, please.]

As if I'm concerned about what might cause them trouble when half of these rides are death traps in their own right. The more people leave, the better, I imagine.
masakados: (but I’ve already forgotten the names)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-23 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's going to have to explain this... All right, Naoki, no big deal, you've fought demons and pseudo-god things.]

This isn't the same kind of mistletoe you're thinking of...
candycoating: (034)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-23 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I wanted to see the park from a higher vantage point. I've got friends I need to be finding... even if they're nowhere to be found so far.

[ Yup, definitely moving. The motion unsettles him, but he keeps his cool with a relatively neutral expression. Machines are going to take some serious getting used to. ]
puerilely: maybe he's born with it maybe it's maybelline (cutest little shit of the sengoku era)

phase i

[personal profile] puerilely 2015-03-23 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hey, what's so bad about setting the car on fire? That sounds like a great idea to Shuu, despite the fact that he doesn't look that bothered by the breathing on his neck at all. (He got used to it after the ghosts from before, really. It's more annoying than scary.)

But he just sits there, smiling even as Riku draws out the fire. In fact, he even giggles, and his hair accessoires jingle a little as he tilts his head slightly. ]


He-y, what are you doing..?
beaconed: (pic#8909758)

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-23 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, what else could it be? It even has a slight groove here where you're supposed to hold it, just for a better grip.

Don't worry, I know my stuff, I'm kind of an expert at weapons. [ He isn't. ]
puerilely: fandisks apparently can cause miracles (how is he the villain again)

phase i

[personal profile] puerilely 2015-03-23 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...

He didn't understand even a single word of what you just said, Maribelle. But Shuu does think the ride seems like fun, he's never been able to go to an amusement park or anything like that.. so he's just staring out of the window with wide eyes, the way an excited kid might despite the fact that he seems just a little bit too tall to be one.

When the other speaks up, however, he just blinks as he slowly looks in her direction.

That's totally a signal he didn't get it, even if he doesn't say it out loud. Smaller words, please. ]
bozu: (squints)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I have, it's just - usually the food has a bit more, uh... attention to detail, than this?

But... let's go get ice cream, sure. That's always a treat worth eating, at least! I mean, it's much better hand made, but what ice cream vendor makes ice cream by hand these days?

[Ice cream, ice cream!! Let's go, cuz!!]
candycoating: (003)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-23 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? I'm in your ever-capable hands, kid. I'm counting on you.

[ He'll look at the stranger with a bit of a contemplative gaze, wondering what he meant by that last part. Of course, Gaius wouldn't actually leap out of a rolling ferris wheel... unless he was close enough to the ground, and there was a really good reason to jump. ]

It's just a ride, isn't it? We didn't have anything like it back home. Our festivals were a bit more... rustic.
beaconed: (protector)

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-23 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He pushes back another Santa with his shield, then looks back the stranger that's approaching him.

Damn it, this guy is way cool. ]


Y-Yeah, I can't exactly do that, man! I'll lose my shield otherwise and in case you haven't noticed, I really, really need it!

[ Because his shield turns into a sheath when not in use. Because what is practical. ]
guidetoblivion: edit by me (♞ 009)

[personal profile] guidetoblivion 2015-03-23 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Riku ignores the giggling, frowning as he turns his head to look around the car.]

Tracking after whatever they locked in with us.

[Not that there is. much to track. He can't sense anything outside the people that got locked in with them, and it annoys and unnerves him a little at the same time.]
candycoating: (034)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-23 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Landing on my feet is my strong suit. It's just the doing it from thousands of feet in the air that's going to be tricky for me.

[ But the ride seems stable, even if the motions it's going through now is giving him some severe unease. Moving mechanical things are kind of disconcerting when you don't live in a world that has them. ]
sugarcoats: (058)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-23 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[It isn't as though Yogi isn't used to being looked at strangely by people younger than him, but he frowns a little at the box containing the horrible presents and stuffs it into a garbage can.]

I just saw something unexpected! Lots of people would be surprised and make noise when that happens, right? And then I decided that I really, really didn't want what the Santa robot was giving away. That's all it was!
trafalgar: (pic#8957034)

[personal profile] trafalgar 2015-03-23 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Mainframe...

[Sounds technical, or rather, sounds like a place that'd fit in here. Where everything is nonsense and the points don't matter -- not to say he's very judgmental about these things.]

We're in a similar situation, then.

[At least they've got one common interest?!]
beaconed: (013)

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-23 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't be ridiculous, what could it possib-- Ruby?!?!

[ He's overcome with a mix of happiness and confusion; he didn't expect to see her here at all. ]

Ruby! It's me! Jaune! Lady killer!
punchesyu: (causally talking and shiiiii)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-23 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
You really call deep-friend oreos attention to detail? Man, you've got a weird sense of detail. [He leads Teruteru over to the stand where he saw it, a rackety, questionable stand that doesn't look very sanitary on a second glance (which Yosuke didn't get) that also is sporting bags of cotton candy hanging from the sides of the rotting wood.]

[The food in his arms, however, is getting finished up as they walk over. And he's ready for seconds. And thirds. And fourths.]

This is it! It looked a lot more appetizing when I passed it the first time.
candycoating: (054)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-23 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ruby is talking his language. Not only is it spun sugar, but it has different flavors? He'll gladly take the pinch she offers and pops it into his mouth, carefully assessing the taste as if he's a real connoisseur (and for all intents and purposes, he considers himself one.) ]

Not bad. It tastes a little bit different, but I think I like the pink kind better.
borntorebel: (Default)

[personal profile] borntorebel 2015-03-23 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Leia's hand twitches over the stock of her blaster, but part of her wonders if she should go for the lightsaber on her utility belt instead.

The girl's voice is familiar, but that thought is completely pushed aside with the sound of breaking glass and the lights dying.]


I don't know what kind of monster that is, but watch out.

[She reaches for the lightsaber and turns it on, red light bathing the area.]

I don't trust anything in here.
punchesyu: (OH NO WAY DO HE GOT THA BOOTY)

OH forgot to mention it's Susano-o, not Jiraiya

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-23 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Grasping his arm, where that thing had grabbed him and knocked him back, he looks up in pain to see if anything else was coming out of the shattering mirrors to attack them. But there's nothing, and he's confused. He's not totally buying it, that the monster is gone, but the small boy's voice cuts through his thoughts and he looks over, shocked.]

Yes, I was that- hey! That thing didn't hurt you did it? [Wait for it the fact that his persona is still out will hit him soon]
candycoating: (059)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-23 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a relief. You seem like you know how to work that tiny machine pretty well already. I don't know the first thing about mine-- though I'm sure I'll have to learn sooner or later, blasted thing...

[ His is tucked carefully into one of his many pockets, and his range of success in getting it to work has been... minimal. He's just mesmerized alone by the fact that if you touch it with your finger, the magic glass thing actually moves the words and pictures beneath it. Science is incredible. ]
sugarcoats: (037)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-23 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I lo-- oh! [He is just now noticing her ears, and while his first thought is post-human, he almost as quickly remembers that this isn't home and not everyone might look the same as he's used to. Don't stare, don't stare, just answer the question.]

Um, I mean, I love presents, what's not to like about them! But they're usually thoughtful and sweet and definitely not at all like this.
