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 ❅

//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, sure we can go somewhere else in just a- [It audibly cracks some more, and it's now that Yosuke realizes his mistake.]

Oh crap.

[And with a crash, the whole side of the stand collapses beneath him, and he tumbles down to the ground in a heap of rotted wood.]

Oooohhhh, I think I'm going to need a full body cast for that one... [But he has his cotton candy.]

[he doesn't really care much that she's talking to the reindeer, especially not when it seems to be annoying her. it's kind of stupid, sure... but a lot of things here are stupid.

he's not really interested in that, because nam soon is a little more concerned with the bloody trail. it doesn't look to him like she's hurt, but still. it's alarming!? he's been the guy covered in other people's blood before, he knows how it goes.]


...You're leaving a trail. Of blood, I mean. Someone's going to wind up worrying about it. [even if it's alarming, he doesn't sound overly concerned as he pipes up. it's more of just... an observation than anything else.]

[A weak little chuckle.]

So do I.

[Oh, but at the very least he can attempt some manners, can't he? He hasn't heard the name, but ignorance is already something he has in abundance in this place. So, still seated, he sinks into a rather passable bow, smiling up at the other man.]

Then it's an honor to meet you - and to ruin your shirt, I suppose. I'm Okita Souji, first unit captain of the Shinsengumi.

Quite a few....

[ . . . but wow Tenka is suddenly looking sad for the trash can. Damn. He approaches and pats whatever part isn't overflowing with trash. He's going to need a napkin soon.]

C'mon buddy, chin up. They do that recycling thing here, you may get to be an astronaut one day.

[And then he's turning to Pyrrha and tilting his head.]

Fair warning, normally these robots are more likely to kill you than open up to you.
masakados: (what should be done with)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-23 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aw, no, don't calm yourself, embrace it, the excitement is cute.] Mhm, probably, everything is pretty set up around the holidays.

I wonder if they'll do something with fireworks when Christmas finally comes around?

No disco ninja frog. woe.

[personal profile] arcanaofdeath 2015-03-23 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hurt himself and asking after others already. Pharos chuckles and shows Yosuke the palms of his hands as display that he hasn't been injured. Unexpectedly knocked around but not injured.

He's made of sterner stuff.]


Shouldn't you be more worried about yourself? [And his other self.]
bozu: (very few smiles which sucks)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Congrats on making Teruteru squeal in fear, Yosuke - once he's certain everything's done falling though, he's gonna move to help his friend out of the rotted heap.]

Can you even stand after a fall like that? I can't believe you actually tried to climb that thing...!
And for what, some stale cotton candy? I could make you something much tastier and filling with half the pain!

[Yep, he's getting berated for that stunt. Not that he's going to help much, though.
He's a chef, not a nurse.]
dimidiampura: (▷ Barely keeping my heart true.)

[ In all honesty, Kaneki couldn't remember the last time someone actually fretted and worried over him. So it was perhaps a bit surprising when the other boy came up and asked him that, likely able to spot some small rips and tears in his clothes where there should be wounds but wasn't.

Mainly a large hole in his form-fitting shirt on the right side but there's not anything but an almost completely healed, recent-looking injury in it's place. Which he doesn't look bothered about. ]


...I'm not. I ducked down to avoid caught by those blades, so i'm alright.

[ It's not a lot to go by but he manages a smile for what it's worth, a deeper part of him happy in an odd way that someone would try to worry over him like this. ]

So they pulled us here with the intention of stopping world eating aliens and they want us to go to festivals? Back home, that wouldn't fly at all. We were in the middle of war, and there was no stopping for anyone. And even a war is hardly anything in the face of the loss of a world.

[ He's a little more than frustrated to hear it, but Natalia is only the messenger, so there's no point in getting mad about that. In any other circumstance, he'd be just fine with taking it easy on arrival, but the dire circumstances have him thinking otherwise, for now. And even then, he's not sure there's much a thief can do. ]

[ There are worse things - far, far worse - then a ferris wheel ride alone with Jaune. Even if her nerves and the irregular pitch of her heart threaten to give her away, it’s nice to get him all to herself, at least for a little while. Except this is far from normal and definitely far from relaxing. With a soft, disconcerting hiss, the leather upholstery of her seat squirms against her thighs. Pyrrha’s chest feels taut, her shoulders steadying. In clear contrast to Jaune, she’s become a lot more alert, fingers itching to go for her weapons. ]

Jaune.

[ Just that, soft but firm. More than enough to get his attention. ]

That isn’t me.
candycoating: (Default)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-23 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Sigh. Oh well, it's not like he expected any other answer from her. But it is a reminder that he's going to have to make up for plenty of past mistakes in front of her. ]

Who could follow them when they were talking about all those strange machines? They gave you one too, didn't they? The cere...vices?

[ He'll pull his out from underneath his cloak and regard it with as much suspicion and contempt as a particularly dangerous grimoire. ] Apparently, it does a lot of things. I don't understand the first thing about it, though.
reuser: (80)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-23 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Uh-oh, young Ruby alert. Abort, abort! Hardly subtle, Pyrrha holds the box high behind her back. ]

Oh, just... a book on how to make bread!

[ Hehehehe sob Jaune save her please :( ]
punchesyu: (i think he got punched in the gut)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-23 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I wasn't trying that hard-! Man, I was gunna leave money on the counter but there's no way I have enough to pay for this!

[He'll definitely accept the help to get up and out of the pile of wood. Managing to stand, he looks over at the stand and groans.]

Now what are we gunna do?
poised: (✰ jade i will cut you)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-23 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[bless u, gaius.]

Oh, I agree entirely! As important as it is to make sure that the people of the land feel safe, covering it up with giant, blinking contraptions and momentary reliefs does absolutely nothing in the long-run. There are plenty of capable people here with all sorts of different strengths and yet none of our help has been utilized whatsoever.

[Annoyed princess, at your service.]

The people in charge here are irresponsible and neglectful to say the least.
candycoating: (045)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-23 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know what we can do, though. I'm nothing more than a humble [ thief ] fighter, and the people they already have here have a far better grasp on it than I ever could. If they wanted someone to work with technology, they couldn't have picked a more unfitting guy.

[ He doesn't even want to look at his CereVICE. Screens already give him a headache. ]
bozu: (For 10 minutes)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
... Er...

[That's... a good question. What are they gonna do?
He has to stop and think about that for moment or so.]


We could... leave?
It looked forgotten about - perhaps it was going to be torn down, anyway!

["lol not my problem"]
punchesyu: (SRS TIEM)

i know :( i do like disco ninja frog

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-23 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be fine, I've been hit a little harder than that. [Takes a look around again. Okay, no creepy monsters barreling at them right now.]

Did you see where that thing went?
swordboning: (idiots 'r' u)

That probably just means that they're trying to hide something. Never trust a politician who can't get his story straight and just keeps throwing goodies at the crowd to distract them from stuff. Someone should really drag them out and make them answer some questions.

[ As noble as that sounds, it probably worked better back home, and not, say, where they have the power to drag in people from destroyed worlds. They probably have the power to stay as hidden and distant as they want to be. Hell, gods back home would have had less less power. ]

Buuut I'm guessing the brute force option doesn't work as well, here. A shame, since it's one I'm used to going with.

WHY WAS I PROGRAMMED WITHOUT TEAR DUCTS. HOW DO YOU BREAK THE HEART I DO NOT HAVE. WHY DO THE OTHER ROBOTS NOT FEEL LIKE I FEEL.

[ As instructed, she leaves the unwanted present on the ground near the angst-filled bin, turning a somewhat discomfited glance toward Sousei. Belatedly registering the kick, the trash bin begins to "cry" - that is, it exudes a high pitched whine that's a cross between metal being pulverised and a colicky infant's unending screech.

It's very loud and hurt's Pyrrha's ears. ]


Perhaps we should go somewhere else and leave it alone right now.
