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.

[ His troubled expression immediately brightens when he catches Athena. Primarily, he is glad to see that she is safe. However, he is also content to know that she’s already been on the ride. Perhaps he can just skip it, and she can fill him in..]

I’m not..exactly sure. [ Well, the presentation from earlier was informative, but this is all still very confusing. ]

I actually just got here.

[ The thought of actually eating something causes Apollo to grimace. Not only does he, similar to Trucy, not trust the food here, but he doubts he could even stomach anything at the moment. ]

Do you actually know when we’ll be able to leave? Or even if have the choice to decide when?

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-23 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
What do you mean? It says it right here on the packaging--

[ He looks down at the item in his hand one more time, though this time he's noticing a few more details about it.



Yeah, he literally froze mid-sentence. ]
andimfine: (✓ 1)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-23 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He flinches a bit, the voice ringing in his ear. Wow. He thought he was loud. Still, Apollo doesn’t make the attempt to just walk away; he wouldn’t want the other to lose balance because of him.

Being given such a serious look, he did not expect the question that he heard. ]


Yes!
andimfine: (✓ 29)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-23 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ As if Pearl should be saying anything appearances at the moment. She looks as if she had just been in a fight. Apollo cannot help but brush aside his own misfortune to redirect his concern onto her. ]

Uh, no, I’ll be okay. [ Which is not necessarily true because he honestly isn’t sure right now. He might need a trash can. ]

What about you? Are you hurt?
andimfine: (✓ 41)

Re: pre-phase

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-23 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Ack! [ His sight was set on his surroundings, so he didn’t even notice the person in front of him until he actually walked right into them. Good going, Apollo. ]

Sorry! Guess I wasn’t, uh, paying attention.
punchesyu: (i really suck at keywords)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-23 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright! [He'll take that challenge, and heck, he likes most of what's up there anyway. He wonders how much he should order, considering how hungry he is. And for Teruteru, how much does he eat?]

[Approaching the counter, he orders-]

We'll take four entire pizzas with pepperoni and sausage please!

[They only come in large size.]
andimfine: (✓ 27)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-24 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Excuse Apollo for not appearing as excited as Phoenix. He’s still attempting to focus on one object without it spinning away. ]

Mr. Wright? [ He seems more surprised than he does happy, but truly, it is a relief to see his boss alive and well. ]

You’re okay.
remainingtwin: (midnight circus)

[personal profile] remainingtwin 2015-03-24 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, you're paying for both of us? [She still watches, knowing it's something she needs to learn, but she till feels a tad distressed at this.]

You didn't have to-- I mean, you could've just bought one for yourself? Or I could've bought you one in exchange?
andimfine: (✓ 4)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-24 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ After experiencing such an awful ride, Apollo is caught a bit off guard by the person with the sharp knife suddenly speaking to him. He does not trust anything in this place right now, so pardon his caution. ]

I don’t think so. [ He says as he trails his fingers along his arms while visually scanning for any possible bumps or bites. There’s no pain, and he doesn’t see anything, so the creature must have missed him, right? ]

That was a spider, right..? [ That much is clear, he thinks. ] What was everything else? Special effects?

Oi, I ain't that dumb when it comes to these things, y'know!

[ There's a small smile, but either ways, he's glad that the spiel actually proved that he's the real one. Still, he can tell what time period she's from by how she focused on a bit of a small detail to determine that he's not the Naruto she knows. ]

...About the arm, I got taken right before both of us finished the battle, aha...
andimfine: (✓ 38)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-24 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ The sickly whiteness of his cheeks burn into a shade of dark red, and he immediately releases his hold and takes a step back. ]

Sorry! [ Then quickly. ] I, uh , didn’t mean it like that.
andimfine: (✓ 5)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-24 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
What? [ Yeah, her tone does not give him any hints towards whether he should actually be worried about her warning or not. ]

You’re joking..? [ He means for it to come out as a statement, but it ends up being more of a question. ]
punchesyu: (it's because i did something weird)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
No... [His own breathing is shallow and fast, but nothing is creeping up on him as of now.]

Hey...

How much battery does that thing have? [Is the light their current savior?]

Phase III

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-24 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Not quite brave enough to venture onto the coaster, Lily has been watching people as they come off. Each one looking worse, there was something weird about this ride. Not as weird as the next person to exit though.

Lily watches from the sideline as the man pierces the robot and then looks at the weird scaled thing for a moment.]


What's that?

[ But Weiss isn't relying on her face for bread and butter like he is!!

And that may be true, but Weiss wouldn't look that great in her outfit either if she was as fat as the Santas. ]


Your role in that weird show was suppose to be protecting all of us, right?

[ Gesturing at his face again. His clothes had cuts in them too, but considering how he usually dresses, this is no big. His face is one of his few redeeming qualities. ]

You totally missed a few and some of the passengers [ like him!!! ] received some injuries in the end.
aerialassault: (neutral -- cutting to the chase)

Not really, [Cliff admitted, turning his attention to the new face.] Why? What's it to ya?
littlestbaskerville: and i want sweets leT'S GET SOME SWEETS (✿ you will dance with me‚ yeah!)

Bus

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-24 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
[None social people beware! They were her favorite type of people to bug in most situations. So when she sees this man, he actually reminds her of Reim for a second except for the blue hair.

All too quickly she is beside him with a smile.]


Hi there! Are you new?
littlestbaskerville: YOU TOO FANG (✿ my sadness diminished to one-half.)

Before

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-24 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Lily watches as the giant snowman, which is really neat, hugs the woman in front of her. The lady doesn't look thrilled about the sudden affection and Lily couldn't help but to giggle a little bit.]

They can be weird sometimes.
aerialassault: (sly -- is that so?)

Arrival

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-24 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
What, you afraid of being run over by some reindeer?

[Cliff smirked, amused at his own joke. While he was making a big deal about the holiday right now, the truth was he just didn't care one way or the other. It was just the easiest annoyance to complain about at that moment.]
shacklebreaker: (???)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-24 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Blackquill looks a combination of shellshocked, and like Christmas has come early.]

It still sounds absurd, and yet... [...He's holding the evidence that it has to be true. He'll have to put its quality to the test later, in a place less crowded than a fairground.]

...Very well, let's assume for a moment that I now believe your story. What was that you mentioned about the Holy Grail?
aerialassault: (thinking -- with Mirage)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-24 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Cliff furrowed his brows, glancing out the window again at her words.]

Can't say I've seen much smog in my time. Pollution regulations are too strong to allow that where I'm from-- but, I get the point.

....It's as thick as some kinda soup out there.

[An inky black soup that probably tasted of death warmed over.]

A magical object that will grant whoever wins it a single wish, no matter what that wish is. It only appears after all other competitors have been eliminated so cheating isn't an option. It's a fairly evil object and, as far as I'm aware, has been destroyed.
masakados: (of embracing in my hand)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-24 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Naoki lets the silence elapse, lets him read (inside breathing a sigh of relief).

And, after a minute or two:]



...See?
gareki: tsunkuuyandere (023)

[personal profile] gareki 2015-03-24 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Tch... [ "Adult things" he says... He feels like he's being babied again, and that ticks Gareki off. Maybe it would have helped if Yogi just said it bluntly... if he could manage that. ] Don't treat me like a kid! [ Even though Gareki really is one, but details!!! If they think Yogi qualifies as an actual adult, then he sure as hell is one, too.

Yeah, that settles it.

He's getting a box, if only to prove that he's just as much of an adult as everyone else that's receiving one right now. His current actions prove otherwise, but whatever. ]


I'll be sure to show my "adult things" with you as soon as I get them.
