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 ❅
YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT THE SANTASTICAL FOREST OF CHRISTMAS WONDERS ❅
PLEASE ENJOY ALL THE RIDES CEO JULIUS VINCERE HAS HAND-PICKED FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT ❅
WE WISH TO BRING YOU MERRY FEELINGS FOR THE HOLIDAY ❅

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.

Here? No. Can I make them? Certainly. How much would you pay for that?

[Getting his Rin on.]

[Riku doesn't even turn to Phoenix while he replies, opting to keep starring out the window.]

...Similar enough.

[Been there, done that, worlds destroyed and restored again, though Riku was more involved with former than latter, much to his chagrin. With Sora out and asleep (or maybe even dead?!), there is only him right now though, so, while he is not a hero like his best friend, he'll still do what he can.

How different can those Flamines be from the Heartless anyway?]

Yeah, what the hell are they doing letting a stand that fragile still be here, someone coulda really gotten hurt! I know I'm going to be feeling it for the next week... [He whines, rubbing his ass.]

Did...anyone see us? [He starts to look around nervously. Crap. Didn't think about that. There's some people over at another stand with their backs to them, a few walking in the other direction. But Yosuke doesn't see anyone...maybe they could make their escape.]
dimidiampura: (▷ Never quite the same.)

[ To Kaneki there was nothing that mattered more than getting out of here before something like that happened again. Not that he couldn't handle it, but it did set his nerves on edge and he didn't like it one damn bit.

Perhaps it was in this train of thought that he didn't pay much notice to the other boy who followed after him at first, though the lack of subtlety was what got his attention on some small level. A distinct feeling of being watched as he moved, but it was only when the other spoke up that Kaneki's steps stopped and he looked over his shoulder at Shuu, both eyes normal now and narrowed just a touch. ]


...A problem with what?

[ Just to be safe Kaneki played it cautiously, as something about that grin doesn't appear entirely as innocent as it may seem. It was pure instinct telling him this but until the stranger gave him a reason to, he wasn't going to do anything about it. ]

[Yogi is certainly lamenting the fact that the more anyone told Gareki something was a bad idea, the more he seemed to want to do it. Just this once, he was wishing that Gareki would do his aloof thing and just lose interest. It really would be better for both of them.]

No! You can't! I mean, you could, I can't stop you, but you won't be happy, and you won't like it, and it's just not... not something that will be very welcome. I'm sure of it!

[He's completely aware that he's repeating himself, but there isn't going to be a good way out of this situation for anyone. Maybe it would be better if he told him, after all. At least that way he could say he tried to give a warning.

Still, Yogi takes a deep breath and begins looking everywhere but at Gareki right now.]


It's... eh, the box, it has some adult things in there. Nothing... nothing good!

If brute force worked then I'm certain it would've been utilized by now. There are plenty of hot-headed people here as well, after all.

[Some of them are her good friends too - hence why she would've guessed that if it was possible, she would've heard about it. Regardless, she's just shaking her head then.]

It's all very frustrating. It speaks nothing of what happens when their plans happen to go wrong too.

[is what she says as they're slowly but surely getting closer to the top of the ferris wheel]

Good luck shaking her off now she's latched onto you, then. I certainly never managed to.

How has she fared, in her time here thus far?
bozu: (um???)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
... I don't think so...

[Which means, after a moment or so of looking around, he's gonna take this opportunity to make a break for it!!

At least he is Very Small and easy to keep up with. Let's go, cuz!!]

You drive a hard bargain, but you know what? I think I'd be willing to try them.

[ Fumbling with his pockets until he finds his brand spanking new card. It's basically fun money to him right now, as he has no idea what it's all worth, so he might as well make the best first purchase anyone could possibly make. ]

Do you take this?
bewrightback: (thinking about a puzzle)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
...Really? It's as simple as that?

[The real estate market could learn a thing or two from these people.]
punchesyu: (What do you MEAN the food's not edible?!)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-23 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[He feels really bad, he really does. He quickly grabs a bunch of money out of his pocket (which isn't much), leaves it somewhere in the wreck of the stand where he hopes the owner will find it and starts running.]

Dude, wait up! Don't just leave me here!
candycoating: (049)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-23 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Gaius has slightly forgotten his ferris wheel-related stress from earlier, and he has to admit the view is quite nice (even if it's too high up to tell anyone apart on the ground now, like he'd originally planned.) ]

I'll put it aside, for now, even if I'm sure it's going to keep me up for a few restless nights. What do people do around here, if they're not off slaying godless aliens? I got assigned a job, of course, but surely that's not all I'm supposed to do... right?

[ Lifting one hand past her shoulder and toward her back, her fingers barely brush the edge of her short sword before it zooms obediently toward her palm. Slowly, she lowers her arm back down, so that the weapon is resting neatly in her lap. ]

I don't think there's enough room in here for both of us to engage an enemy.

[ The meaning behind her observation is not nearly as idle as it is said. Pyrrha sounds deathly, dangerously calm, even as the hissing grows louder.

Whatever else is in here, that should be its first warning sign. ]
defeets: (» i've seen bigger)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sure there was very real danger but now Jae-ha is here to save the day!! Aka continue to just expertly snipe down multiple Santas at once with every flick of his wrist.

Then he's looking back at his companion with a lazy grin. This young man has a very nice face. Congratulations on your face, friend.]


Sure it is. Is it your first time on this ride or did you know that it was gonna get deadly and come back for more?

["the common folk," really? okay, so maybe yuri's kind of used to that sort of used to that class disparity, being essentially from the slums while sharing a city with the world's wealthiest and most privileged.

but damn, if it's not still annoying to hear it referred to that way.]
Maybe it's because the "common folk" aren't really so common at all.

[there's a slight edge of sarcasm to his voice, but there's nothing outright vicious or biting to it. it's really just a simple truth to him anyway. he's always found his fellow commoners a little more interesting, anyway.]

Entel-- [Hold up give him a sec.] Entelexeia.

[So, different from a dragon after all.] Maa, not an easy term by any stretch, but I'll try to remember. [After all, it's not like he's really big on just being called a 'lion', but that term's most understandable to everyone here. So he'll do the same for the young... Entelexeia over there.]

Yes but I'm not going to ask for payment now. Try one and see if you like it before you decide to buy anything.

[Shrugging.]

When you're done here today, let me know.
defeets: (» the fuck did you say about my mom)

Well don't just look at me and keep seeming all comfortable when I was sure you were in trouble.

I'm pretty much done already, seeing as there's no way I'm getting on one of those death machines. Sampling the sweets they have here is pretty much my idea of a good time.

I did get that impression earlier, [ she confesses, watching, half-charmed, as he gives the trash bin a consoling pat. The robot receptacle has been nothing more than abrasive, angry and emotional - but it’s hard to find fault in Tenka’s show of sympathy. ]

DO YOU LOVE ME, ᴛᴇɴᴋᴀ. ᴋᴜᴍᴏᴜ?

[ Once again, name and identification is programmed into the bins (for whatever reason), but the names sound remarkably disjointed from the rest of the sentence, as if they were spliced in.

It would be remarkable if this didn’t end in tears, which is why Pyrrha says, ]


I think we ought to leave it be. He— it seems to have a lot to think about.
bewrightback: (another day in the life)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Trust me. I can relate to you all too well about being unfit for technology... [I don't even want to try to figure out how to work this doodad they gave me. He feels his own Cerevice inside his pocket.]

They must have some use for us that doesn't involve technology, then... Maybe something that caters to our skills? Or they can't just pick and choose who gets pulled here, so they're going to do what they can with what they've got...

[NOPE TOO LATE but no, really, he's super easy to catch up to. 4'3" and very chubby, man, it's not like he's a cheetah or something.

Once they're actually far enough away, though, he's going to fall back onto his butt with an exhausted sigh.]


... If you get a letter about this, I hope you know I won't be taking any blame.
lionly: (s ↯ cause I'm giving up again)

[personal profile] lionly 2015-03-23 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Elza watches that expression darken... and frowns apologetically. He's not the type to probe blindly for someone else's personal details.]

I see... We might have different tenets, but I'd follow my captain anywhere and fight with him, no matter what enemies he might have.

[So he thinks he can partly understand that sense of duty and loyalty, at the very least.]

Welcome to the world of modern technology. I let my Master handle all of that but I somehow doubt we're paying a dime for rent.
